- Chapter 610 - Tea shed old lady
Qin Yao looked back at the carriage. Yin Le, who had never been far away, looked disheveled. The children also stayed in the carriage silently.
“Okay.” Qin Yao raised her chin in the direction of the tea shed and motioned for everyone to go there.
He quickly calculated the distance in his mind and found that it was less than fifteen miles away from the county seat of An County. According to their speed, it would only take an hour and a half to get there, and they could even enter the city after half an hour’s rest.
So he said to his family: “We will set off in half an hour.”
The originally sleepy carriage immediately erupted with excited “oh-oh” sounds. When Yin Le stopped the carriage, the four siblings jumped out of the car and ran into the tea shed cheering.
There was only one old woman in the tea shed. Her legs and feet seemed to be very light and she worked very efficiently.
In addition to selling tea, there are also several snacks, including steamed noodles, baked wheat cakes, and the March-limited Youth League.
However, unlike the Qingtuan in Zijinfu, the one made by my mother-in-law is actually salty. A Qingtuan is flattened and stuffed with chopped salted peanuts and pickled vegetables.
Saburo tried everything he had never eaten before, and immediately called with a smile: “Mother-in-law, I want this!”
Si Niang immediately shouted: “Mother-in-law, I want it too!”
Dalang said, “We want seven bowls of hot tea.”
Erlang took out his money bag and asked, “How much money is there in total?”
The quiet tea shed instantly became lively. The old lady selling the tea looked at the four children with a smile. They all looked the same. It was obvious at a glance that they were brothers and sisters. The two younger ones were twins. They looked very curious. .
“Young man, two qingtuan and seven bowls of tea, don’t you need anything else?” the old woman asked while wrapping her hands with qingtuan.
Dalang looked at his parents and Senior Sister Le who came in later, and asked loudly: “Mom, Dad, Senior Sister Le, there are also snacks here, Qingtuan or wheat cake noodles, steamed buns, what do you want?”
“Hey, Dalang, are you treating me to a treat?!” Liu Ji immediately asked excitedly.
Dalang chuckled and looked at Erlang, who was speechless. The old father instantly understood that this was a rich man. It was rare to get a penny from him. If he missed it, he would regret it.
Even though he didn’t want to eat these snacks, Liu Ji decided not to order them lightly, so he ordered salted green dumplings for himself and his wife to try out how unpalatable this strange recipe could be!
Yin Le walked up curiously, looked around, and also ordered a steamed bun, which was hot and softer than dry food.
She has been a little uncomfortable going to the hut for the past two days, so she needs something soft to eat.
Erlang generously said to his mother-in-law: “Then add two more green dumplings and one noodle bun. Mother-in-law, please calculate how much it will cost.”
“Let me do the math.” The mother-in-law paused her movements, calculated silently for a moment, and said cheerfully to Erlang, “It’s exactly one hundred yuan.”
Erlang nodded, took out the money and placed it next to the console in front of his mother-in-law. No, the old woman was holding the Qingtuan ball in her hand. She immediately stretched out her greasy hand to grab the money and put it into the apron pocket around her waist. Knead the green balls.
Erlang was shocked: “You!”
“What’s the matter? Do you want anything else, young man?” the old woman asked lovingly.
Erlang hurriedly shook his head and said it was nothing, just treat it as unclean and eat without getting sick.
He turned around and planned to complain to his elder brother and younger sister. Unexpectedly, instead of sitting at the table, the three of them walked around the tea shed curiously, and finally stopped in front of a large clay pot. Saburo’s curious little hand was already raised and ready to stretch out. Get out there, lift the lid off the clay pot and see what’s inside.
“Liu Ziming!”
Qin Yao’s cold shout came before Erlang. The little guy who was about to reach out his hand immediately retracted his hand and turned to smile at her with white teeth. Afraid that his wife would throw the pot that was not carefully guarded on him, Liu Ji immediately stood up and went over to bring these curious greedy people back. He pressed them down in front of the table angrily, “Sit down and don’t wander around.”
Qin Yao and his wife, who were concentrating on teaching their children not to mess with other people’s things outside, did not notice the panic flashing in the eyes of the old woman making tea behind them when they found the children approaching the big clay pot, and the fact that the children were called away. Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
After Liu Ji finished educating the child, he smiled sheepishly at the old woman.
The old woman’s eyes were in a daze for a moment. Such a handsome young man, it was completely impossible to tell that he was already married and had children.
One boy, two girls and four children—just one man. The old woman turned around and smiled contemptuously. Pick up the tray with tea and food and prepare to deliver it to the guest’s table.
“Thank you, mother-in-law~” the twins said in unison with a sweet smile. He immediately made room for his mother-in-law to put tea, food and food on the table.
“How good.” The old lady looked at the twins fondly. After all, she was old and couldn’t carry the tray with one hand, so she put the tray down first and then took out the food on the tray.
When children get food, they put it in their mouths immediately.
“Ahem!” Qin Yao coughed, and Yin Le immediately understood. This would not embarrass the store owner. He calmly stretched out his hand to block the green dumplings that Dragon and Phoenix had picked up, “Elders haven’t moved yet.”
The dragon and the phoenix gave a low cry and forgot about it. Before going out, Grandma had specifically told her that if she bought food from a roadside tea shed stall, she would have to wait for Senior Sister Le to check it before she could enter it.
The two brothers and sister quickly put down the green **** in their hands, licked the corners of their mouths, and sat down obediently.
Yin Le nodded, “How good.”
The old woman frowned slightly, unable to tell that this family was so defensive.
She curled her lips secretly, and suddenly glanced at the dagger Qin Yao wore at her waist, and her heart skipped a beat.
Qin Yao seemed to feel something strange, and glanced at her with cold eyes, his ice-like eyes, which made the old woman’s hand tremble and suddenly let go. There was a “bang” sound, and the teapot broke to the ground.
The scalding tea spilled and spread all over the floor.
“Yeah!” Liu Ji quickly picked up the nearest twin and took a big step back. He took a few steps back and hurriedly looked down at his boots and the child’s clothes. He found that there were no tea stains or ironing, so he breathed a sigh of relief. .
He looked at the old woman angrily and asked: “How did you serve the tea? What will happen if this hot pot burns my wife and children!”
Although Qin Yao and Yin Le were still sitting on the table, two drops of brown water were splashed on their shoes.
Dalang Erlang had already escaped on his own. He was older after all, and already knew how to avoid crises proactively, so adults didn’t need to worry too much.
Yin Le was fine, but when he looked up at his master Qin Yao’s face, he almost overturned the table.
The old woman seemed to be frightened and stayed there for a long time.
Just now, the tea fell from the old woman’s hand, and Qin Yao, who was sitting on her right, accurately reached the handle of the teapot.
However, a pair of old hands with loose skin and soft bones came up to her. Whether accidentally or deliberately, they knocked the teapot out of her hand. The teapot fell to the ground and smashed, causing hot tea to splash.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! As long as the guests are fine, I’ll boil a new pot of tea right away, old lady, and I’ll give you two more youth groups as compensation.”
Without waiting for the guests to agree, the old woman immediately bent down pitifully to pick up the pieces of the teapot, turned back to the stove and served them a new pot of tea and a bowl of green dumplings. (End of chapter)
