"Hey, isn't this Brother Wang? Why are you here? Well, let someone take a look, oh, it turns out to be a bookstore. How come Brother Wang is so interested in reading in a small shop like this?"
A joking voice came from outside the door, and a young man in luxurious clothes looked up at the plaque with a slightly pretentious tone, and spoke in an exaggerated tone to the young man in the store.
The speaker was dressed in blue silk clothes, and his style was quite complicated and graceful. There were several decorative ribbons draped over his shoulders, and the rings around his waist jingled. He was full of nobility and flamboyance. It is difficult to put on this suit of clothes without a servant to serve, let alone some accessories.
The young man who was called Brother Wang in the store had already arrived in front of the bookshelf. He was looking at Wei Feng's annotations on several categories. He didn't even look back when he heard the words. His voice and frivolous tone were enough to tell who the person was. He didn't know anything about it. I don't even think about it.
Instead, he pointed to Xianxia's comment and asked, "Little shopkeeper, what do you mean by this sentence?" He could vaguely feel that these combined nouns seemed to refer to something.
Wei Feng shrugged: "I just recorded what others said. I don't want to ask for a deeper explanation. If you ask me, I can't tell you." His tone was very candid, because these things were indeed not written by himself.
He doesn't say that he has never gone to school. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if he knew so many words and could write with perfect calligraphy.
The two of them were having a conversation here, and were not affected by the outsiders at all. The former didn't want to pay attention, and the latter felt that it was just asking for boredom to greet the guests now, and might even become a fish in the pond. He would wait until the guests asked. It's not too late to deal with it.
When the man outside the door saw that the man surnamed Wang was ignoring him, his joking face suddenly fell, and he opened his mouth to curse, but considering that he was now at Fuyuan Zhai, he finally endured it.
He resisted the urge to get angry. After all, he had not forgotten the purpose of coming today. He turned to look at Wei Feng and looked carefully up and down, as if he was studying some goods, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
After looking for a long time without seeing anything special, he pointed at Wei Feng and asked directly: "How old are you?"
Wei Feng pointed to the sign he had written and said in a strange tone: "Sir, this shop is for reading, not selling books, let alone selling yourself."
Although he runs a store, he is not here to sell himself. What does that look mean?
The other party was rude, and he didn't bother to accommodate him. After all, this person didn't look very smart at first glance, and he was probably not a big shot. Besides, some people just knew how to make a fuss. Even if they tolerate one sentence, they would still be offended by the next one.
"Huh?" The young man was confused at first, not understanding why Wei Feng suddenly said such a sentence, but then he realized it and couldn't control his temper. He shouted angrily: "Who wants you to sell yourself? I asked you how stupid you are and you just answered abruptly. Come from the border." The country boy is so rude and outrageous!"
Even if the man surnamed Wang ignored him, this kid from the fringe of Jiang State dared to choke him with words. He was so brave that he was about to burst out with the anger he had just suppressed.
Wei Feng didn't answer him again. Doesn't he know my information? Then why are you asking?
Seeing that the young man was about to angrily come over and cause trouble for Wei Feng, the guest surnamed Wang had to stand up at this time. If this fool really made a fuss, the scene would be a bit embarrassing. He was also planning to read here for a while. , besides, he has not forgotten where this is...
He took a step forward, stood between the man and Wei Feng, and said sternly: "Zhou Mingyu, if you want to go back to your Zhou family, don't embarrass yourself here."
The man named Zhou Mingyu was about to point at Wei Feng and scold him, but he stopped him and said with an ugly face: "Wang Jingzhi, you want to stop me?"
Wang Jingzhi's tone became colder: "This is still within the scope of the academy. You dare to call me by my name instead of senior brother. It seems that you want to let senior brother give you guidance on your practice."
Most of the academy disciples assume that Feiniao Town is also part of the academy.
"You..." Zhou Mingyu's face turned red after being suppressed by his words. He wanted to say something harsh but didn't dare. He came out today without an entourage. If the other party really beat him, he wouldn't even have the strength to fight back, and he knew it clearly. Knowing that the other party really dared to beat him.
"What are you doing? If you want to read, just pay. If you don't want to read, then go out. Don't delay other people's business." Wang Jingzhi interrupted him unceremoniously.
Zhou Mingyu's face turned white and blue in turns, and his chest rose and fell deeply several times. Finally, he suppressed his anger and said bitterly: "Okay, okay, I will remember what happened today."
After saying that, he walked straight out, not planning to read here anymore. Before leaving, he glanced at Wei Feng with a ferocious look, but when he saw that Wei Feng had already started immersed in writing a book, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
He hadn't walked out a few steps when he heard another chuckle from outside the door: "Hey, Zhou Bannian, why are you so angry again? Why have you been wronged? Tell your senior brother that he is in a better mood. Maybe I can help you vent your anger, hahahaha..."
Along with these words, another young man came in from the door holding a folding fan and wearing a turban on his head. His clothing style was more gorgeous than Wang Jingzhi's, but more restrained than Zhou Mingyu's, somewhere in between.
Halfway through his laughter, he saw Wang Jingzhi looking at him in the store. His laughter gradually subsided and became less ostentatious, but it did not stop completely. He nodded slightly to Wang Jingzhi: "Hello, Senior Brother Wang."
Wang Jingzhi also nodded in greeting: "Hello, Junior Brother Xu."
The young man surnamed Xu first glanced at Wei Feng quickly. The aggression in his eyes was not as aggressive as that of Zhou Mingyu, but he could not avoid the look of scrutiny.
Then he said to Wang Jingzhi: "Senior Brother Wang came here first. I think it was just a week and a half ago... Zhou Mingyu had some contact with Senior Brother Wang, but I don't know how he left in anger?"
Officer Wang replied while selecting books: "There is contact, but why is he angry? How can a normal person like me understand? Junior Brother Xu wants to know why not ask him himself?"
The young man surnamed Xu smiled and said, "Indeed, it's hard for me to understand what a fool thinks."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Jingzhi, but saw that the other party was not ready to talk. He curled his lips slightly and stopped continuing, then turned to Wei Feng: "Shopkeeper, I just saw on your sign that you charge for reading by time, so I will pay for it for a month first. Yes."
As he spoke, he took out two ingots of gold from somewhere and handed them over.
If someone is willing to pay for a monthly subscription, Wei Feng can do it, and judging from the amount he gives, it is calculated based on twelve hours a day, which is really generous.
Wei Feng greeted him with a smile and said, "Sir, please choose an exclusive seat. I will reserve it for you. No one else will occupy it for this month, whether you come or not."
At the same time, his hand had already touched the two gold ingots, but the other party suddenly moved forward a short distance and their hands separated as soon as they touched. Wei Feng didn't notice it and just put away the gold.
The young man surnamed Xu pointed to a seat next to him and said nonchalantly: "That's it."
Wei Feng looked in the direction he pointed. It was the seat closest to Wang Jingzhi. If he hadn't specified it, Wang Jingzhi might have sat there after selecting the book.
"My guest, please choose your book first, and I'll prepare a drink for you. I wonder what you want to drink?" Wei Feng put away the gold and asked instead.
The young man surnamed Xu had already stood aside with Police Officer Wang, each staring at the bookshelf. He only asked casually: "Oh? What kind of drinks do you have?"
He didn't have much expectations. For such a newly opened shop, the owner was a young man from the village. Even if he could make a pot of tea, what kind of drinks could he expect?
Since the guest asked, Wei Feng naturally listed all the drinks that can be provided now: "There are succulent grape tea, kumquat lemon tea, mango, watermelon juice, poplar nectar, milk tea, herbal tea, jasmine tea..."
"Wait a minute." The young man surnamed Xu didn't pay attention to this at all, but he never thought that Wei Feng would start talking about everything, and if he didn't stop, there would be an endless feeling.
He thought about what Wei Feng had just said, and felt a little confused for a moment. When could these fruits be made into tea? Could it be that the country people didn't know what a real drink was and made it by themselves.
Thinking of this, he frowned and asked, "Are there any of these: Fufang Yin, Gui Yin, Jiang Sheng Yin, Shenhua Yin, and Peach Blossom Yin?"
Wei Feng wanted to say directly that there was no such thing, but he was a big customer, so he changed his mind and said, "Although I have never heard of these, you can tell me how to do it. I can make it very quickly."
The young man surnamed Xu was a little unhappy. These things were all made by servants. How could he know how to make them? However, his face remained as usual and he just said casually: "Then just come to me."
After saying that, he returned his attention to the bookshelf, and couldn't help but think that this person must have something special to be taken in by the master of Fuyuanzhai.
He had already seen the person. Although he looked like he had successfully refined his body, the contact at that moment made him feel that this person had not yet come into contact with Yuanli, and he must be a martial arts practitioner.
But it is not that martial artists do not use Yuan Li. After passing the initial external training stage, they must use Yuan Li to temper their bodies. At this age, they are still in the external training stage, and there will be no achievements in martial arts.
The information part is even more mediocre. A country boy who comes from a barbaric land like Yanzhou cannot be more earthy. You must know that unless he has to go to the Shiwan Barren Mountains for experience, he will not go to that place in Yanzhou.
Since there is nothing special about people, then the special thing lies in these books, so now he just wants to read all these books and find out what may be of interest to Master Yu. He has lost interest in Wei Feng himself. .
Wang Jingzhi, on the other hand, seemed to be interested after hearing Wei Feng's news about a series of fresh drinks. He took out ten volumes of "Han Li's Cultivation of Immortality" from the bookshelf and placed it on the table a little further away. He turned around. Xiang Wei Feng asked: "Little shopkeeper, I heard that the drinks you just mentioned are quite novel. Can you introduce them to me?"
Wei Feng was preparing jasmine tea for the young man named Xu. After all, he seemed to resist fruit tea, so he would give him something more traditional. Suddenly he heard Wang Jingzhi speak, so he introduced it to him while working.
Wang Jingzhi was not in a hurry to read, and just listened attentively until Wei Feng served the scented tea to the young man named Xu. After the introduction, he casually asked: "It's quite novel, so give me some." Let’s have...um, kumquat and lemon tea."
"Okay." Wei Feng agreed decisively.
He didn't actually find lemons in Feiniao Town, but he found a fruit with a similar taste, which was much sweeter than lemons and less sour, so some people still ate it, but not many people bought it.
He didn't change the name he was used to calling in the previous life, and the unfamiliar words could add a bit of mystery to the drink, which was good.
In the same poplar nectar, he also used other fruits instead of grapefruit, but the taste of this substitute was a bit worse. It was barely enough to make poplar nectar, but honey grapefruit tea was not.
Wang Jingzhi opened the book unhurriedly and asked as if unintentionally: "Little shopkeeper, did you research all these fruit teas?"
Wei Feng was concentrating on the ratio of raw materials. Hearing this, he replied casually: "It was all invented by predecessors. I just happen to know how to do it."
"Oh? Do you mean these are your specialty drinks?"
Wei Feng thought that there was nothing wrong with this statement, so he said perfunctorily: "That's right."
Wang Jingzhi understood clearly and said nothing more. He waited quietly until Wei Feng brought the fruit tea, thanked him, and then started reading.
On the other side, the young man named Xu also picked out the books he wanted to read, and the book category coincided with Wang Jingzhi's choice of Cultivation of Immortality.
After Wei Feng had just been busy, he began to think about his own shop. He would definitely keep his special fruit tea, but there was no guarantee that there would be customers who couldn't get used to it, so he had to take the time to learn from the locals. Specialty drink recipes.
Different from the jam or fruit pulp used in shops in another life, he really prepared a lot of fruits, and the fruit tea is also freshly made. Although the taste is not as rich as that made from fruit pulp, it is better than freshness. .
As for the prepared fruits, it would be best if they are sold. If they are not sold, he will eat some of them himself and leave the rest to Cang Gou. There is no need to worry about waste. When there are grapefruits in winter, he can also make honey grapefruit tea.
While he was still thinking about this, he heard Wang Jingzhi cough slightly. Wei Feng followed the sound and saw that the other party was holding an empty cup in his hand to indicate to him, but he had already finished the cup of kumquat lemon tea.
Wei Feng stood up and walked over, took the empty cup and walked back, asking, "Do you want the same one?"
Wang Jingzhi said with a smile: "Please ask the shopkeeper to give me another one. Let's take Mango Duoduo. The name is a bit weird."
The young man named Xu looked at him in surprise. Could it be that the so-called fruit tea is really drinkable? Seeing that Wang Jingzhi still had some unfinished meaning, he wanted to give it a try, but he didn't speak after all.
The shop owner might not be able to see the disgust he was hiding, but Wang Jingzhi certainly could. Now if he had to lower his face and go to the shop owner to make a drink, he couldn't do it.
Fortunately, there is a cup of jasmine tea in front of him. He has drunk this kind of tea before, and it is not much different from other flower teas. However, the jasmine tea in this store smells slightly different from what he has drunk before. There was hesitation, but now there is some unfathomable expectation.
He wanted to try the cup of tea in front of him now, but the water was still hot. It wouldn't hurt him, but it would show his eagerness, and he didn't want to.
Not long after, Wei Feng brought up a bowl of Mango Duoduo. This was beyond Wang Jingzhi's expectation. Why did he still use a bowl for the promised drink?
This drink is actually a little surprise that Wei Feng discovered after coming to Feiniao Town.
There were mangoes in Yanzhou, but there was no sago. Then he walked all the way to Tianyang City, and he could no longer find mangoes along the way. He thought he would never be able to eat them again, but he didn't expect that they were also available in Feiniao Town. .
What's even more interesting is that he also found a substitute for sago, so this mango dish can be made.
In the process, he also visited the fruit shops here to make some statistics. He found that fruits that are available elsewhere are available in Feiniao Town, and fruits that are not available elsewhere are also available in Feiniao Town.
Not only fruits, but also other food raw materials are quite complete. This discovery surprised Wei Feng. You must know that in this world with inconvenient transportation, this situation is very unreasonable.
There are many fruits that cannot be preserved for a long time. Even if transportation is as developed as in the past life, it is difficult to eat fresh ones far away from the place of production, such as fresh cranberries, bayberries, etc. What about this world that still relies on ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages? How is it done?
Wei Feng, who couldn't figure it out at the moment, also temporarily classified it as one of the unsolved mysteries in the world. If he didn't embark on the path of spiritual practice, there was no telling where these questions would be enough to be compiled into a book.
