Chapter 545 First Grade Immortal Tea
Chapter 545 First Grade Immortal Tea
The carriage stopped at the door of Yipin Xianming. After so many days, the appearance of this tea house has not changed much.
There are not too many guests, not too few, but it is easy to see that it is operating steadily.
The waiter greeting her at the door of the store didn't seem to recognize Su Qingcheng. Su Qingcheng looked at her strangely. He must have been Xiaodie's new waiter when she was away.
So she also experienced the feeling of a customer.
"Miss, would you like to go to our private room on the second floor or the lobby on the first floor?" the waiter said.
Since she was leaving the palace in disguise, Su Qingcheng's clothes were all ordinary civilian clothes. The waiter did not have any different attitude because of her dress.
"Just take me to the lobby and find a quiet place for me." Su Qingcheng said calmly.
"Okay, come here." She led Su Qingcheng to the seat by the window.
Entering the teahouse, Su Qingcheng was observing the surrounding situation.
Everything is going smoothly. It seems that Xiaodie has been running the place very well during her absence. Dan Mo also often sent her letters explaining the teahouse's revenue. Although there was no huge profit, there was no loss either.
This teahouse can be said to be Su Qingcheng's first effort in Nanye, and she still has some feelings for it.
After sitting down, she ordered several pots of special tea and tasted them. They all tasted good and the price was right.
Su Qingcheng didn't sit for a while when she saw Xiaodie coming out to greet the guests. Perhaps it was because she was sitting in the corner that she didn't notice her.
However, she observed that Xiaodie's hair was tied up. Is she married?
How time flies.
"Xiaodie." Su Qingcheng called softly.
Xiaodie looked at her, surprised and happy, with tears in her eyes: "Princess, you are back. When did you come back? You never notified us..."
"I just came back yesterday, how is everything?" Su Qingcheng smiled.
"Everything is fine. Let me bring the account book to the princess to take a look at." Xiaodie said.
"No need, I still know the general situation." Su Qingcheng said.
Xiaodie hadn't seen her for a long time, so she just chatted with her until dark.
Seeing that Yipin Xianming was about to close the shop, a woman in black walked in.
"Boss, I want to buy tea." Her voice was low, as if she had lowered her voice deliberately in order not to be heard.
The waiter asked: "What kind of tea would you like, black tea, green tea, jasmine tea, or our seasonal specialty tea?"
Su Qingcheng noticed her. This woman in black only had one pair of eyes exposed from her whole body, but judging from her standing posture, she was well-behaved and she should not be an ordinary woman.
While listening to Xiaodie's words, she paid attention to the situation there.
"I want the tea you brewed," the woman said.
Su Qingcheng raised her eyebrows. She had set a rule since the early days of opening the store that the brewed tea leaves must be discarded and not flowed out to avoid being used twice.
Why does this person want to buy brewed tea?
"Sorry sir, the tea we have brewed here cannot be sold. You can take a look at our fresh tea."
"How much does fresh tea cost?" the woman hesitated.
Su Qingcheng stood up and went over, answering her: "The high-quality and cheap empty mountain tea only costs ten cents a bag."
The masked woman looked at Su Qingcheng with a strange look in her eyes: "Are you from the shopkeeper?"
"Yes, I'm sorry that we can't sell brewed tea." Su Qingcheng said generously.
She was so far away just now that she couldn't hear the woman's voice clearly, but now she heard it. This person was no longer in the capital.
And although she was wearing black clothes, it could be seen from the exposed fabric that the clothes underneath were not ordinary fabrics, but more like animal fur.
"I have money, a lot of money." The woman said anxiously, as if to prove that she was not lying, she took out a bag of money from her pocket.
This bag has a crane tattooed on it, and it looks like a money bag that can be seen everywhere in the capital.
This man wears unusual clothes, but his money bag is very authentic...
"I'm still sorry, that's the rule in the store." Su Qingcheng always had a faint smile on her face.
"Okay." The woman left disappointed.
Yipin Xianming closed its doors, and Xiaodie wondered: "Empty Mountain Tea costs twenty cents a bag, why did the princess sell it to her at a reduced price?"
Su Qingcheng looked at the direction the woman was leaving and said, "It's just a test. She shouldn't be from the capital, and she's not familiar with tea. Even the bag of money doesn't belong to her."
She also found it strange that if she couldn't buy discarded tea leaves, she could just buy low-priced fresh tea leaves and brew them, but that woman didn't do that.
There were many doubts in her heart, but it was getting late, so Su Qingcheng chose to go back first.
She told Xiaodie to remember to notify her when this woman comes again in the future.
On the return carriage, Su Qingcheng was closing her eyes and concentrating when the carriage was suddenly frightened and she almost couldn't sit still.
If Wu Ya hadn't come in in time to hold her back, he would have been thrown out.
Su Qingcheng was still in shock, her heartbeat was a little fast: "What's going on?"
"A man suddenly rushed out in front and fainted." Yulan said.
"Go down and take a look." Su Qingcheng jumped out of the carriage.
They saw that the person who fell in front of their carriage was none other than the woman who had come to the teahouse to buy discarded tea leaves.
Su Qingcheng knelt down and felt her pulse.
Only then did she notice that the woman's waist and abdomen had been bleeding, and her pulse was very weak. It looked like she had not eaten for a long time.
"Go to the nearby medical center!" Su Qingcheng frowned.
After she lifted up the woman's black clothes, she realized why she always felt familiar. This distinctive fur clothes was clearly the tribal costume of the barbarian people.
They went to one medical clinic after another, but all of them were closed. Su Qingcheng could only let Yulan treat her wounds on the carriage.
There was an arrow feather inside the woman's wound.
Yulan took it out for her and bandaged the wound. Su Qingcheng looked at the arrow feathers and felt they looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.
"Princess, she has probably not eaten for three to five days. If she does not go back and take medicine at this time, I am afraid she will not survive tonight." Yulan said.
"Is this arrow poisonous?" Su Qingcheng asked.
The structure of this kind of arrow is a bit strange. She has seen it on Ye Tantai's shadow guard, and it is very suitable for hiding poison.
"I didn't realize that this arrow was not an ordinary arrow. The wound on her stomach should be difficult to heal, but the medical clinics are closed and the hemostatic powder I brought with me is not enough." Yulan said.
Su Qingcheng thought for a while and said, "Take her into the palace."
Wu Ya stopped her and said, "No, what if she has ulterior motives? What if it's a cruel trick by someone with ulterior motives? If you take her into the palace, if she wants to kill you..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
Almost no one in Nanye knew that Su Qingcheng was the princess of Beiyuan.
