In the blink of an eye, May 14th came, and it was the day when Su Ze entered the county town to study.

With the Yunnan horse lent to Su Ze by Hai Rui, Su Ze traveled from Changningwei to Nanping County in only half a day.

[Riding Yunnan horses, riding skills +10, Lv1, 36/100]

During these days, Su Ze discovered that the skill of riding, the speed of gaining experience is related to the mount.

Su Ze rode the donkey in the family temple for an hour before gaining 2 experience points.

But riding Hai Rui, a Yunnan horse, can increase experience by 5 points in an hour.

But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. Driving a sports car will definitely increase your skills faster than driving a tricycle.

But Su Ze's hip hurt when he was riding this horse. The official road in Nanping County was a dirt road. Although the horse was fast, his whole body was falling apart.

If I keep going like this, I'm afraid I'm going to die on my horse.

Su Ze thought of Yu Zongyuan's Fengyang horse. If it were that horse, would it be able to refresh its skills faster?

The most evil krypton gold mobile game, both annoying and kryptonian!

Nowadays, the situation of Changning Guard is better, but now everything is in ruins and money is spent everywhere. Su Ze is reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy horses.

We can only look for an opportunity to take advantage of Mr. Yu and find a way to exploit his gold coins.

When Su Ze was about to see the gate of Nanping County when Cao Cao arrived, he saw Yu Zongyuan standing at the gate.

Yu Zongyuan saw Su Ze holding the horse and quickly walked forward.

"Brother Su!"

Yu Zongyuan greeted Su Ze warmly.

"I know you are coming to the county today, but I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Behind Yu Zongyuan was his Fengyang horse carriage, and a group of soldiers wearing green cotton armor followed the carriage. It seemed that Yu Zongyuan was going on a long journey.

"Brother Su, let's talk in the tea shed."

Nanping County is close to Wuyi Mountain, and everyone in the county, from dignitaries to ordinary people, loves to drink tea.

The practice of drinking tea was so popular that there were tea stalls with stoves on poles at the city gates, supplying tea to merchants going in and out of the city gates.

The stall owner was a gray-haired old man. When he saw Yu Zongyuan wearing brocade clothes, he took out the best tea leaves with a grin on his face, and then licked some charcoal into the stove to heat the water even more.

Wuyishan tea requires boiling hot water. After the kettle boils, pour it into a large bowl of teapot.

The old man carefully raised the teapot high and poured the tea into two bowls and cups.

The fragrance of tea was wafting, Yu Zongyuan waved his hand and said: "Little old man, go and stay aside, let me use your tea stall to talk about something."

After saying that, he threw out a bunch of copper coins. The old man at the tea stall quickly picked up the coins on the ground and left respectfully.

Su Ze picked up the tea cup. Although the tea stall used ordinary tea leaves, the old man brewed the tea at the right temperature and at the right time, and was able to make the inferior tea to a good level.

However, a dandy like Yu Zongyuan naturally couldn't taste the quality of tea. He just found the coarse tea difficult to swallow and spit it out after taking a sip.

Su Ze drank it with relish, then picked up the kettle and poured it into the teapot, filling up his tea bowl again.

[I found a tea stall where I can learn the skill "Tea Ceremony". Do you want to learn it? 】

Su Ze was delighted. Sure enough, he could learn skills everywhere, and he immediately secretly said "Learn".

Some basic tea ceremony knowledge poured into Su Ze's mind. Chinese tea ceremony has a long history. Lu Yu began to write the Tea Classics in the Tang Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was also an era when tea ceremony books emerged.

Su Ze immediately knew that the tea in his hand was Wuyi Mountain rock tea, the predecessor of Kung Fu tea that was popular in Fujian in later generations.

Wuyi Mountain rock tea is a semi-fermented green tea, which is a tea between black tea and green tea. It can still produce tea after multiple steepings, and is quite popular among ordinary people.

However, the most popular among the scholar-bureaucrats nowadays is green tea. For example, Longjing is a popular famous tea, especially the young leaves that have just grown before the Qingming Festival are the best quality. The dignitaries in both capitals regard the cool color of the tea and the freshness of the leaves as the best.

However, Su Ze, who had been traveling for a long time, felt that the Wuyi Mountain rock tea had a strong taste and was quite thirst-quenching. No wonder ordinary people like this kind of tea.

After Su Ze finished drinking the tea in the bowl, the system popped up a prompt.

[Tea tasting at the tea stall, Wuyi Mountain rock tea, "Tea Ceremony" experience +10, lv1, 10/100]

Then I made another cup and heard the system prompt:

[Making tea at the tea stall, "Tea Ceremony" experience +1, Lv1, 11/100]

Sure enough, this skill is the same as in the game!

For the tea ceremony skill in the game, you can gain 10 experience points every time you collect a new variety of tea. You can also gain experience points by hanging up and drinking tea on weekdays.

The Ming Dynasty had a rich variety of teas. There were dozens of famous teas recorded in "Neng Duo Shi Shi" in the early Ming Dynasty. Just collecting new teas would be enough for Su Zegan to reach Level 5.

As soon as he entered the county town, he discovered a skill that could improve his health. Su Ze was in a great mood.

Seeing that Su Ze just kept drinking tea, Yu Zongyuan said: "Brother Su, don't be busy drinking tea. I'm worried to death."

"Brother Yu, why are you worried?"

Yu Zongyuan looked at the tea stall and saw that there was no one around, and then whispered: "It's not about the Yushi Qing army."

Su Ze pretended to be confused and said, "Didn't Brother Yu say there was no problem last time?"

Yu Zongyuan sighed and said: "Brother Su is in Changningwei and doesn't know the recent situation in the county."

"Xu Shuli, who was originally sent to Fuzhou City to assist the imperial censor of the Qing army, is familiar with my family. With him, the Qing army will be able to pass safely this time."

"Unexpectedly, Secretary Xu met with an accident when he left the city that day."

"Accident?" Su Ze asked pretending to be innocent.

Yu Zongyuan lowered his voice again and said: "It is said that he was attacked by Japanese pirates, but the county magistrate blocked the news and only said that Secretary Xu died of a sudden illness."

Su Ze quickly pretended to be surprised and covered his mouth.

Yu Zongyuan sighed and said: "There are Japanese pirates outside this county. Now people in Nanping City are uneasy, so dad sent them to Fuzhou City at this time."

Yu Zongyuan looked like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw, and said to Su Ze: "Brother Su, can you help me figure out how to go to Fuzhou City this time? I delayed it at home for a few days on the pretext of being sick, and finally waited for you to enter the city.

I just rushed to set off today, and I just wanted to ask you whether it is good or bad."

Su Ze was also speechless. Everyone knew that it was about the family's wealth and wealth, but Yu Zongyuan still delayed his departure until today just to ask Su Ze for fortune telling.

In this way, the Yu family can still inherit the third-grade capital commander from generation to generation. Only a hundred households in the Lin family will die heroically for the country in this life.

It’s no wonder that a thousand Japanese Japanese under the command of King Lu can scare the whole of Fujian into restlessness.

However, Yu Zongyuan took the initiative to come to the door, which was a good opportunity to inquire about the news. Su Ze pretended to pinch his fingers and said:

"Brother Yu, Secretary Xu is deeply involved with your family."

Yu Zongyuan was shocked. Although Xu Shisheng had a close relationship with the Yu family, Yu Zongyuan only realized that Xu Shisheng's status in his father's heart was so high after Xu Shisheng's death and his father got very angry.

Su Ze just made some calculations, and even when it came to the relationship between Xu Shisheng and the Yu family, Yu Zongyuan believed that Su Ze was truly "Taoist".

Su Ze added: "The death of Secretary Xu has also affected your family's luck. If you go to Fuzhou City this time, you may not get the results you want."

Yu Zongyuan quickly prayed and said: "Brother Su, save me! I waited for you for a few days before setting off. If the errand goes wrong again, I'm afraid I will be beaten to death by my father!"

Su Ze touched the tea bowl and said, "I'm afraid your house will lose money and eliminate disasters."

When Yu Zongyuan heard about spending money to eliminate disaster, he calmed down. Isn't it just a waste of money?

Anyway, the current Yu family's property has nothing to do with him. As long as he can get things done, spending more money is nothing!

Yu Zongyuan suddenly had other thoughts. If he cursed his immortal brother, could he take the opportunity to make another fortune and save more capital for himself after dividing the family?

Yu Zongyuan bowed solemnly to Su Ze, took out a package and stuffed it into Su Ze's arms and said:

"This is my wish. Brother Su, when I come back from Fuzhou City, I will hold a banquet for you at Yaoyue Tower!"

After saying this, Yu Zongyuan immediately walked out of the tea stall, got on the carriage and hurried away to Fuzhou City.

Su Ze opened the package and found another twenty taels of silver. He could only sigh that this second young master was really a good "NPC" who could earn gold coins.

Su Ze sincerely hoped that the Yanping Wei Yu family could withstand the Qing army this time. There were not many such easy-to-deceive gangsters.

Entering Nanping County, the atmosphere in the city was indeed much more tense than last time.

The merchants were all in a hurry. The tax collectors who usually collected taxes at the city gate and the city gate guards who blackmailed merchants no longer had any thoughts of making money at this time, but stepped up their inspections of the roads.

After finally queuing up and entering the city, the bustling street in front of the city gate was no longer as bustling as before, and the Arhat Feet who gathered here were nowhere to be seen.

Su Ze didn't know that these Arhats had become meat and potatoes. Not only the strong men of the county government had them put on clothes and become servants.

The big families in the city also wooed these Arhats and asked them to look after their homes and courtyards.

Especially those landowners who had Zhuangzi outside the city. Although they could hide in the city, the Zhuangzi outside the city also needed people to take care of them, so they offered a large price to these Arhats to guard the courtyard.

Su Ze had no idea that pretending to be a Japanese pirate and attacking Xu Shisheng would cause so many chain reactions.

It was not yet time to report in the afternoon, so Su Ze planned to take a walk around the city to see if he could learn any new skills.

The first thing to learn is medical skills. In troubled times, learning medical skills will not only protect yourself, but also heal others.

Before entering the city, Su Ze asked Lin Xianyang that there were two medical clinics in Nanping City.

One is the government-owned Huimin Pharmacy, and the other is the Shao Family Medical Center, which has been practicing medicine in Nanping County for generations.
