Li Qingxiu looked at the tea shop owner staring at the chrysanthemums in the sack. She put down the teacup and asked, "Shopkeeper, this chrysanthemum tea tastes better than honeysuckle. Do you want to try it?"

The tea shop owner saw that Li Qingxiu was fine and the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums in the air also made him feel itchy.

So he turned around and took an empty teacup back and put it on the table. Li Qingxiu also specially selected a beautiful dried chrysanthemum and put it into the cup.

After the boiling water was ready, the tea shop owner stared intently at the blooming process of the chrysanthemums in the cup.

He touched the beard on his chin and praised: "Not to mention how it tastes, just watching the chrysanthemums blooming in hot water is also a pleasure."

Li Qingxiu made an invitation gesture, and then said: "Chrysanthemum has a high status in the hearts of scholars. In addition, this chrysanthemum has the same medicinal properties as honeysuckle. It has the medicinal effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight."

The tea shop owner sat down and picked up the cup. Looking at the chrysanthemums rippling back and forth with his movements, he felt a little reluctant to drink.

"This is my first time seeing such a big and beautiful chrysanthemum."

After he finished speaking, he took a sip. Hmm~ The fragrance of chrysanthemum is more intense in the mouth.

The tea shop owner couldn't help but nodded: "Yeah, what a chrysanthemum."

Upon seeing this, Li Qingxiu said, "Would you like the shopkeeper to buy all this bag of chrysanthemums? I believe that with this chrysanthemum tea, your tea shop business will definitely be booming."

The tea shop owner did not show the excitement that Li Qingxiu expected, but sighed: "Alas, even if I buy all kinds of famous tea here, the business will not be booming."

When Li Qingxiu heard the tea shop shopkeeper say this, she thought of the weird things in Xinzhou City. Her eyes flickered. Maybe she could find out what was going on from the tea shop shopkeeper?

"Shopkeeper, what happened here? Why are most of the people outside wearing mourning clothes?"

When Li Qingxiu saw the shopkeeper turning to look at her in confusion, she explained: "We are fleeing from famine. We just passed by Xinzhou today and wanted to sell this chrysanthemum tea to make some money. But as soon as we entered the city, we found people wearing mourning clothes everywhere. people."

The tea shop owner glanced outside the shop, then put down the tea cup and took Li Qingxiu to the tea table near the corner.

Li Qingxiu could see that the tea shop owner was not a bad person, so she did not stop the tea shop owner. She wanted to see what the tea shop owner wanted to do?

Then she saw the tea shop owner pulling her to sit on the tea table in the corner, and said to her seriously: "You said you came here to escape, then where is your family? How can they safely let you, a little girl, in?" The city is still wandering around.”

Li Qingxiu lied without blinking: "My family and I entered the city together. We divided our troops into several groups. My parents went to buy food. We have agreed on a time to meet outside the city gate."

The tea shop owner frowned even deeper when he heard this. This girl's parents are both big-hearted and confused.

He was a sensible person and could tell at a glance that something was wrong in the city. They actually let a little girl run around without fear of being captured by those beasts.

Li Qingxiu saw the tea shop shopkeeper frowning in a daze, and she was even more curious: "Shopkeeper, what's going on?"

The tea shop owner came back to his senses and glanced at Li Qingxiu and said: "Little girl, I have a movie. Even if I tell you, you don't understand. Hurry up and find your parents and get out of here."

It seems that there is a big melon. Li Qingxiu's curiosity is fully aroused at this time. In addition, her mission has not been completed yet, so there is no way she is willing to leave.

"Shopkeeper, you haven't told me whether you want to buy this chrysanthemum tea? Let me tell you, I am the only one who owns this chrysanthemum tea in Xinzhou City. If you don't buy it, there will be no store like this after passing this village."

The tea shop owner didn't expect that the little girl in front of him was quite difficult to deal with. When he thought about it, there really wasn't much tea left in the backyard warehouse.

The tea leaves previously delivered by the supplier were damaged by the rains some time ago, and new tea leaves have not yet grown. So the warehouse never received any goods.

And those beasts come to ask for bowls of tea from time to time, but they can't drink bad tea. If they don't drink it happily, they will get into trouble with him.

The tea shop owner sighed. "Girl, how do you sell this chrysanthemum tea?"

Li Qingxiu smiled brightly when she saw that the tea shop owner was willing to buy it. "The shopkeeper said this, I have a younger brother who is studying at home, and I originally wanted to make some money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for my younger brother.

But I just passed by a bookstore and saw that it was closed. So I have an idea, how about if I don’t want the money, let’s barter for things? "

Li Qingxiu is not short of money now. She just wants to buy some pens, inks, paper and inkstones to go back to practice with Qingfeng Li. The bookstore I just passed by is indeed closed. Since I can't buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones, I might as well exchange one with the tea shop owner.

The tea shop owner was a bit puzzled: "I do have pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but not many. And they are of poor quality." Of course he didn't have many. He opened a tea shop and only needed to buy some to keep accounts.

"It doesn't matter if it's of poor quality. We just use it to practice calligraphy. And I don't want much. I just want a pen, ink and inkstone. You can give me more paper. I'm not a stingy person either. This bag of dried chrysanthemums You take them all.”

The tea shop owner stopped talking. He was thinking whether it was worth exchanging the remaining pens, inks, papers and inkstones at home for this big bag of dried chrysanthemums.

Seeing that the tea shop owner hesitated and didn't say anything for a long time, Li Qingxiu tied up the sack and put it on his shoulder. "Since you don't want it, shopkeeper, forget it. I'm not the kind of person who forces others."

After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, she turned around and left without any hesitation. When she reached the door of the tea shop, the shopkeeper immediately shouted: "Change, just as you said."

Li Qingxiu, who had her back turned to the tea shop shopkeeper, curled her lips and knew that the shopkeeper would definitely call her to stop. When she turned around and returned to her previous position, the tea shop owner had already gone to the backyard to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

After Li Qingxiu finished drinking the cup of chrysanthemum tea, the tea shop owner came over holding a floral cloth bag.

He put the cloth bag on the table and opened it, then said to Li Qingxiu: "Here is what you asked for. One each of pen, ink and inkstone. These are all things I have used, but they have only been used for a few times to keep accounts." . And I don’t have much money for this piece of paper, so I can only give you two knives. If you agree, you can change it.”

Li Qingxiu didn't expect that the tea shop owner would actually give her so much paper. She thought the tea shop owner could only give her a dozen pieces of paper.

After getting so much paper, Li Qingxiu was very satisfied and handed the bag of chrysanthemums to the tea shop owner. "Here, this chrysanthemum is yours. Remember, chrysanthemum tea should not be placed in a damp place."

The tea shop owner took the chrysanthemum tea and chased people away again: "You don't need to tell me, if I don't even understand this, why would I open a tea shop? Okay, the matter is done, you go back to your parents quickly. "
