Chapter 4 (1/2)

Beside the official road, the tea stall smoke.

”Wait until I stop and have a rest.” The woman in front of the tea stand sang. Ah Yao thought she wanted to have a rest. After watching it for a long time, she found that this was her advertisement for the tea stand. It was a song to attract guests.

Thirty four out of ten pedestrians entering the city will rest at the tea stall, a bowl of herbal tea, two or three steamed cakes, eat and drink enough before entering the city.

Not far from the tea stall is the gate of the city, which reads ”Nanxun county”.

In front of the city gate of Nanxun County, several yamen guards in soap clothes were guarding to check the road guide of people entering the city. A Yao saw that the people who lined up in the city handed over the stack of paper full of words. The Yamen roughly read it and compared it a few times before returning the road guide to them and waving his hand to signal him to go in. The same is true for the next one.

She was puzzled: ”how can I get into the city without a guide? I can't get in by climbing the wall... ”

”Landlady, three steamed cakes and a bowl of tea!”

”Good!”

As the hostess of the tea stall lifted the cage drawer on the boiling pot, the rolling steam rushed out. The smell of rice grain went into a Yao's nose with the wind. She sniffed hard and showed a happy expression.

It smells good. The grains in the sun thrive. They are threshed and ground into coarse or fine flour. They are mixed with coarse grain rice slurry, kneaded into a ball, covered with a wet cloth to wake up the flour, kneaded the dough evenly, kneaded hard after waking up again, kneaded the bubbles and cavities inside, folded their hands inward in circles, kneaded into shaped dough, and cut into small steamed buns. The family likes to lay a piece of dried lotus leaf in the cage, The steamed bread also has the faint fragrance of lotus leaves. A bowl of lotus seed heart tea can clear the heart and fire, relieve summer heat and annoyance, and produce saliva and quench thirst.

”Gu ~” the more you think, the happier your stomach cries.

After walking for a long time, the porridge was digested. A Yao swallowed the overflowing saliva and tried her best to ignore the steaming wheat cake.

A child wearing a longevity lock came to her. With a little red cinnabar in the center of her eyebrows and black eyes, she was as pure as a boy under the Guanyin seat.

A Yao smiled back at him, and the child grinned. Then he pointed to a Yao and shouted, ”a Niang, a Niang! Here is a little beggar! ”

”...” Damn it, bear boy! A Yao's smile froze on her face.

The landlady has time to take a look at ah Yao.

A Yao's weight moved back, slightly panicked, and ran at any time when he saw that it was wrong.

The landlady said, ”I haven't seen it before. What do you care so much? Come back quickly!”

”But you usually drive away...” the child muttered, obediently returned to the landlady and turned back to make a face for ah Yao.

A Yao sighed a little relieved and looked at the tea stall.

A small house sheltered from the wind and rain, a few tables and chairs, a stove built outside the house, and a couple with children form a tea stand.

Since you can't get into the city for a while and a half, you can hide under the eaves for a night to rest and see the boss's reaction. If you are found the next day, you shouldn't be. It's much more comfortable than staying in the woods and beaches.

A Yao squatted in the shade of the tree to listen to the tea guests and got a message.

When you walk along the road out of the city for a cup of tea, there is a bamboo path leading to Qingning nunnery. The Guanyin enshrined in Qingning nunnery is the most effective. You can find everything you want, whether for a son or marriage.

And more importantly, Qingning nunnery is willing to adopt orphaned old and weak women and children!

Like a welfare home for later generations.
