The words are divided into two ends.

Let’s talk about that day, Lu Buping, with his enthusiastic villagers, brought his entourage to a village called Wang Shiqiao.

There are many herbs in this village. As soon as you arrive at the entrance of the village, you can see a lot of herbs drying in the hollowed-out area in the village, and a strong fragrance of medicine comes from the wind.

Seeing this, Lu Buping was very surprised.

After all, it is relatively cheap to purchase herbs from rural households, and it seems that there are a lot of herbs in the village.

Not far from the village, Lu Buping saw an old lady walking out of the house with a sieve of herbs, and then went forward to give a gift: "Auntie, I'm going to the countryside to collect herbs."

"You two are drug dealers, hurry up and sit down."

The aunt seemed extremely enthusiastic and immediately led Lu Buping and his servant to the yard to sit down.

There are also some herbs in the yard, including roots, stems, leaves, and blocks. There are more than ten kinds of them.

"Auntie, are these medicines you dug in the mountains?"

"By the way, my two sons dug it... Xiaofang, come to visit us, boil dier water to make tea."

“Oh~”

A woman's response came from the room.

"Auntie, your two sons went into the mountain to collect herbs again?"

"By the way, it's hard to grow crops in our mountain Kaka, and most of the villagers live by picking some medicine."

Upon hearing this, Lu Buping subconsciously looked around... It was indeed poor. The walls of the house were mixed with branches or bamboo, and then a layer of wheat straw was sandwiched.

The roof is also covered by mixing tree bark and wheatgrass.

Such a house is almost free of money, and you just need to put in time and mobilize the whole family and young to build it.

"Auntie, I wonder what the market for herbal medicines in your village is?"

Lu Buping subconsciously asked about the price of medicinal materials.

"Oh, it's a lot of things..." The aunt sighed long and said, "My two sons go to the mountain to collect herbs whenever they have time, and they can only live a life."

After chatting for a while, a woman in a patched garland shirt walked out with two bowls of black tea.

"Drink tea~"

The woman put the bowl on the shaking small table and hurried into the kitchen while lowering.

"Xiaofang is afraid of seeing strangers, so don't joke."

The aunt explained with a smile.

"This... Auntie, is this medicine soup?"

The follower picked up the tea bowl, smelled it, and before he could drink it, he showed a bitter look.

"Xiao Shuan, don't talk too much."

Lu Buping said without saying a word, then picked up the tea bowl...

After all, how can such a poor family have free money to buy tea? Most of them are wild tea picked by their own home, and some can be drunk.

"Puff~"

Unexpectedly, just took a sip, Lu Buping couldn't help but spit out the tea.

One is hot, the other is bitter.

"Young man, drink it slowly, the water I just burned is a little bit gone."

Fortunately, Lu Buping has been here for a while and knows that the aunt said "get out" means hot.

For example, when he was in the inn, the guy often said that cold water boiled water, boiled water means hot water.

The locals rarely ask people to get out, not because they have a good temper, but because they say: Let me crawl!

Very domineering.

There are also some common words that Lu Buping has roughly understood, such as the general meaning of the word "Qingyan" is cheap.

Bashi roughly means expressing the meaning of good, comfortable, and comfortable in certain objects, such as: Brother, buy a hat? You wear it, Bashi is very good!

There is another word that is also very interesting: Guawazi.

Lu Buping likes to go to a bun shop diagonally opposite the inn and listen to the boss's wife scolding people.

The boss's wife is so hot and has a tough temper.

Some customers like to flirt with a few words and said seriously: "Boss, let's have a pair of meat buns."

When talking about meat bags and cages, how can one be right?

So the boss's wife put her hands on her hips and scolded: "Guawazi, don't pretend to be crazy with me. I want to eat meat buns and go home to find your wife."

As he cursed, the guy in the room brought hot meat buns.

Lu Buping was accused of being a slut and wanted to be scolded by the boss's wife because he felt that the boss's wife didn't seem to be scolding at all, with her expression and tone that seemed to be acting coquettish.

So he also learned from those rough men that he wanted a pair of meat buns.

As a result, he got scolded as he wished.

But the boss lady changed her swearing, looked contempt and curled her lips: "Ha, Guizhou donkeys learn to scream... You are so sexy.

Erwa, add a fried dough stick to him, add two eggs, and choose the smallest one.”

It's really a humiliation of eating fruit.

From then on, Lu Buping no longer dared to flirt with the boss's wife, just eat meat buns in a proper manner.

Get back to the point.

When Lu Buping heard what the aunt said, he smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, why is this tea... so bitter?"

The aunt also laughed: "This is called Kuding Tea, it is a specialty of our place. It is a bit bitter when you drink it, but it quenches thirst and refreshes your mind.

You drink slowly, and you can get a little sweetness as you drink."

Is there such a thing?

Lu Buping gritted his teeth and continued to taste.

Still bitter.

However, after the bitterness passed, there was a sense of endless aftertaste.

"At the beginning, you may not be used to drinking, but when you get used to drinking, you will love to drink.

Especially on hot days, put it in cold water and then drink a big bowl, which is very comfortable..."

When Lu Buping heard the aunt's words, he couldn't help but sip it a few more times... Not to mention, it was really unique.

After drinking those bitter Chinese medicines, the tip of the tongue is always bitter, but this bitter tea will change the flavor, and after the bitterness, you will feel a sweet fragrance.

I felt aroused in my heart and asked, "Auntie, how much is this tea family?"

"There are not many at home, and I cook it at home, but Fangjiachang has a specialty in making this bitter tea, which is sold in one piece of cake."

Lu Buping asked again: "How far is Fang Jiachang from here?"

"I'm afraid it's thirty or forty miles, it's all hard to walk on the mountain road.

If you are going to go (yes), when my two sons come back, you can give me some errands and let them take you there."

"I want it!"

Lu Buping replied by imitating the locals.

At sunset, the two brothers are back.

The names of the two brothers are also easy to remember. The eldest brother is called Dading and the second brother is called Erding.

When the two brothers were very happy when they saw a distinguished guest coming to collect medicine, they immediately ordered Xiaofang to get some good food and treat it.

Xiaofang did his best to make four dishes and one soup: stir-fried bamboo shoots, roasted vermicelli, shredded potatoes, cold-sauce roots, and a vegetable soup.

Four dishes and one soup, full of vegetarian food.

It’s not that I’m holding the door, because there’s no meat at home.

Dading said a little embarrassedly: "The two big brothers are disgusted, our family has this condition."

"It's okay, it's enough to bother you."

Although Lu Buping went out to do business, he was essentially a scholar and was considered kind-hearted.

Seeing that the family was so poor and we were entertained with kindness, we thought about giving them some benefits.

So he said, "If you are locals, you might as well help me purchase medicinal materials. Then I will pay you some compensation based on quantity and quality, how about it?"

When they heard this, the two brothers were naturally excited and repeatedly thanked: "Thank you, brother, thank you, brother, don't worry, I will definitely give you a suitable body."

After dinner, Lu Buping asked the two brothers to find a place to rest for a night.

He had observed before that there were only three rooms in the yard, one room for the aunt and one room for the two brothers, which meant there was no room available.
