"I said Brother Hua Chang, I said you were on the wrong path, but you still don't believe it." Ding Qiyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained helplessly.
Hua Yuan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I wanted to take a shortcut and enter the city earlier, but..."
The two had just experienced a battle, and their spiritual energy was almost exhausted. They urgently needed to enter the city to rest and recuperate, but they lost their way halfway. If they have enough spiritual power, they can fly with their swords, or use their spiritual sense to search for a route. However, the injury was quite serious this time, and it would be difficult to recover for a while, but he still got lost.
Just as the two of them sighed badly, a string of crisp wind bells could be heard vaguely not far away.
"Huh? Could it be that there are other people here?" Ding Qiyu looked at Huayuan suspiciously.
Hua Yuan touched his head and muttered, "I don't know either, let's go and have a look."
The two followed the wind chimes and walked slowly towards that side.
After crossing a green bamboo forest, the first thing that appears in front of you is a unique bamboo building. Outside the bamboo building is a string of wind chimes, swaying gently in the wind, making a ding ding dong dong sound. There is a sail standing at the door, with a letter: Anxian Chaliao. There are several stone tables and chairs in the yard, and a set of tea sets are placed on each table.
Hua Yuan and Ding Qiyu took a deep breath, feeling relaxed and happy, as if all their tiredness had vanished.
They walked into the tea house and chose a stone table at random to sit on. Before they could shout, someone in the bamboo building greeted them.
It was a handsome white-haired boy with a warm smile and refined temperament, which made people feel good at first sight. The young man walked closer, lifted the teapot, and poured two cups of hot tea for the two of them. His fingers were slender, like jade, which was very pleasing to the eye.
"Two guests who have come from afar, please have tea." Shang Ke expressed his welcome to the first wave of guests who arrived in more than half a month.
The attention of the two was quickly attracted by the tea on the table. In the jade-white teacup, the tea leaves were suspended in the water one by one. The tea was clear, misty and fragrant.
Hua Yuan picked up the teacup, first smelled the aroma of the tea, then took a sip, and suddenly felt the breath stretch, as if a warm current filled his belly.
"Good tea." Hua Yuan praised it, and emphasized it again at the end, "It's really good tea!"
After Ding Qiyu tasted it, he also showed approval. But for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. I don't know if it was an illusion. The originally stagnant spiritual energy in the body seemed to gather, and the fatigue on his body was also reduced a lot.
He looked at the tea in his hand, and then at the boy beside him, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Hua Cheng was careless, didn't take it seriously, and asked, "Xiao Langjun, what can you eat in this tea house?"
"The dishes served today are all written on the wooden sign." Shang Ke waved his hand to the other side.
The two of them turned their heads to look, and saw a wooden pillar standing not far away, with two strings of wooden signs hanging on the pillar, a single piece on the left, with the words "Haze Tea" written on it, and five pieces on the right, which were written separately. There are "Bamboo Tube Rice", "Matsutake Soup", "Bamboo Shoots", "Wild Vegetable Eggs", and "Yangmei Stuffed", and the price of each dish is one or two.
"One or two? Wouldn't it be too expensive?" Hua Yuan was speechless.
"Excellent value for money." Shang Ke replied with a smile.
"Are you still short of this amount of money?" Ding Qiyu gave him a sidelong glance, and then said to Shang Ke, "Give us all of them."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Shang Ke went happily.
His movements were quick, but the dishes were ready in a moment.
Hua Yuan and Ding Qiyu began to enjoy their food. At first, Hua Yuan would like to say a few words from time to time, but halfway through the meal, his words gradually became less and less, and finally, like Ding Qiyu, he tasted it quietly.
After the meal, Hua Cheng seemed to be planning to call Shang Ke, but was stopped by Ding Qiyu, then left Yin Liang and pulled him out of the tea house.
"How do you feel?" Hua Yuan couldn't help but ask after walking a distance.
"Spiritual power has recovered by 30%." Ding Qiyu's eyes shone brightly.
"Haha, I didn't expect that there is such a tea house hidden in the old forest in the deep mountains. It's a worthwhile trip." Hua Shan said excitedly, "Why did you stop me just now? It's rare to meet a hermit master, why not make friends?"
"Since he opened the tea house in the mountains, he naturally doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders. We will visit a few more times in the future, and we will always get to know each other when we come and go, and we are not in a hurry."
Hua Yuan heard the words and nodded in agreement: "You still think well."
A cup of tea, a meal of mountain delicacies, successfully harvested two diners.
Shang Ke took off the wooden sign on the column and replaced it with a new dish name.
"It's all vegetarian dishes today, and I'll add a meat dish tomorrow." Shang Ke thought for a moment, wrote "Chicken Stewed Mushrooms" on the wooden sign, and then hung it on the pillar.
A wrong eye, but saw that the wooden sign just hung was gone. Shang Ke turned his head and found that the wooden sign was grabbed by Yan Lu next to him. He thought that this guy was just curious and didn't care, and he wrote a new one and hung it up.
As a result, it was picked up by Yan Lu in the next instant.
"What's wrong?" Shang Ke looked at him suspiciously.
Yan Lu raised the wooden sign in his hand and said angrily, "The mushrooms are mine! Don't sell them!"
Shang Ke: "Then... Stewed mushrooms with chickens?"
Yan Lu was satisfied, as long as it wasn't a mushroom.
Shang Ke: Haha.
In the evening, Shang Ke took Yan Lu to take a bath in the self-made bath, and by the way, he studied the formula of medicated diet and medicated bath. Although he could not improve Yan Lu's cultivation with his current strength, it should be no problem to rely on medicine to condition his injured spirit body.
While thinking about it, Yan Lu suddenly came over, put his whole body on his back, and rested his chin on his shoulder.
The fiery breath enveloped Shang Ke, making him dizzy.
"Don't make trouble, I'm busy." Shang pushed the man behind him with his elbow.
Yan Lu remained motionless, sniffing around his neck, and his body gradually showed some kind of instinctive reaction.
Shang Ke glanced back at him and said regretfully: "Sorry, I can't do it now. After my strength improves, we will come back to double cultivation."
"Shuangxiu?" Although he didn't quite understand it, it seemed to be a good thing. Yan Lu felt that he would definitely like it, so, "Let's come to double cultivation."
"I said no." Shang Ke tried his best to resist the temptation.
"Why?" Yan Lu had an ignorant expression of "seeking confusion".
How should he explain to a man with an IQ of only five years what double cultivation is
In the end, Shang can use the all-purpose reason that is suitable for all ages, all over the world, and said earnestly: "You will know when you grow up."
Yan Lu: "..." Inexplicably, I feel that my IQ has been ridiculed by 10,000 points...
"It's almost soaked, go up and dry the water and get ready to sleep." Shang Ke urged.
Yan Lu reluctantly let him go, left the bath slowly, picked up the towel on the wooden stand, and began to wipe the water stains on his body. Inadvertently looking back, I was surprised to find that Shang Ke, who was still in the bath just now, was gone!
"Little mushroom!" Yan Lu stared at the pool with wide eyes, and saw a white mushroom floating up and down in the misty pool water, rolling and swimming to the edge of the pool, then rubbed against the pool wall and moved to the shore little by little. Then he jumped to the flowerpot on the bedside table and planted himself in the soil.
Yan Ludeng walked over and stood in front of the bedside table staring at him.
Shang Ke raised the mushroom head, and immediately saw a huge thing standing above it, like an Optimus Prime. It is still obvious that he is used to someone's naked body, but this is the first time to look up at it with this shape, this angle, and this absolutely oppressive posture.
"... Either put on my clothes or lie down on the bed." Shang Ke reminded him badly.
"Oh." Yan Lu looked left and right, then found a handkerchief and carefully wrapped the little mushroom's body.
Shang Ke stayed for two seconds, then reacted and said speechlessly: "I asked you to put on clothes, not you to put clothes on me!"
Yan Luta was wronged: What he said just now was "dress me up"...
Shang Ke shook the handkerchief off his body and ordered, "Don't wear your clothes, go to bed, cover the quilt, and sleep!"
Yan Lu obediently lay on the bed and covered the quilt.
The candles were extinguished, and the room fell into darkness, only the stars outside the window quietly sprinkled.
"Good night, Yan Lu."
"Good night, little mushroom."
There are no sun and moon in the mountains, and Shang Ke and Yan Lu lived a very comfortable life. After receiving the first batch of guests, Chaliao will have new guests every two or three days. Although the number of people is small, it also adds a lot of popularity to the quiet tea house.
With the increase of customers, Shang Ke's Anxian Tea House has gradually become the best place for some cultivators nearby to chat and drink tea in their leisure time. Although the tea he brewed and the food he cooked could not improve his strength, he could calm his mind, replenish spiritual power, treat internal injuries, and even expel demons to a certain extent. Coupled with the beautiful color, fragrance, and beauty, he won a lot of surprises. The love of cultivators.
However, the purpose of Shang Ke Kai Chaliao is not to serve the public, but to simply adjust life. Moreover, high-quality materials are rare and cannot be supplied indefinitely, so Shang Ke has arranged a formation outside the tea house, which can be opened three to five times a month. The tea house will only be open for business when the formation is turned on.
"Little mushroom!" Yan Lu got out of the woods and shouted angrily, "I caught a thief!"
Did you catch a thief? Shang Ke turned his head and looked in surprise, wanting to see how sacred this "thief" who was brutally handed was. It turned out that what Yan Lu brought back was not a person, but a... rabbit
The rabbit bared its teeth and grinned, and the rabbit fur stood up all over the body, and the expression was extremely fierce.
Shang Ke looked a little familiar, it seemed that it was the one he met when he just transformed.
"It's actually stealing mushrooms in my mushroom garden!" Yan Lu complained of his crime in a righteous indignation.
"Well, it's really daring. Come on," Shang Ke asked calmly, "Are you going to braise it, or steam it?"
"Braised!" Yan Lu answered decisively without hesitation.
The rabbit stopped struggling, and hung down his limbs like a corpse in Yan Lu's hands.
Shang Ke thought to himself that this guy seemed to be somewhat wise, so he said, "If it is willing to reform, it can be spared for a while."
Rabbit immediately recovered, his eyes flashed, and he patted his chest and kicked his feet.
Yan Lu let go of it reluctantly.
The rabbit escaped from the devil's claws and immediately jumped to Shang Ke's leg and rubbed around to please.
Yan Lu kicked it away angrily and warned: "You are not allowed to touch this mushroom and that pile of mushrooms!"
Rabbit bared his teeth at him, then turned and jumped into the flowers, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
That night, there was a rabbit hole in the corner of the yard. It seemed to decide to settle here. I don't know if it was for the human-shaped mushroom Shang Ke, or for the pile of colorful mushrooms that Yan Lu planted in the garden...
