Chapter 99 Hardware is indispensable [Part 1](1/5)

Before the sun rose completely, Huanong had already arrived at the door of Liu Ruiying's house.

Just as he was hesitating whether to knock on the door, Liu Ruiying just opened the door.

"Have you packed up?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Huanong nodded, there was nothing to clean up.

There was nothing except holding the broken sword in his hand.

The two of them got off the road, but Mr. Jin and others seemed to have not yet gotten up.

The hall was empty, and the boss lady was sitting by the small stove and cooking tea.

"You two got up so early!"

The boss lady said.

"For those who are not sleeping, the word "wake up early" cannot be used."

Liu Ruiying said.

"I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep well recently, but I didn't expect that a young man like you would have insomnia."

The boss lady said.

"When you have no worries, of course you can fall asleep. Now you can feel the taste of sorrow. How can you sleep so easily until dawn?"

Liu Ruiying said.

"Yes, yes, Liu Shengqi is a busy person... different from idle folks like us."

The boss lady joked.

He pressed a palm-leaf fan on his hand, and was constantly swaying the fire.

The charcoal in the furnace flickered and dark because of the wind.

It's like the stars at night.

The charcoal fire and the starlight are so flashing, but the starlight is cold and the charcoal fire is warm.

But it gives people a completely different feeling.

However, since ancient times, many migrant poets have left behind many good poems and sentences by Yue Yongxing, but no one has praised the charcoal fire that brings light and warmth.

Liu Rui stared at the charcoal fire without hesitation, and before he knew it, he was a little dazed.

"Why, Liu Shengqi has never seen the stove?"

The boss lady asked.

"I've seen it, but I've never looked it carefully."

Liu Ruiying said.

Such stoves were first seen in the old horse sheds.

The horse shed was wet and cold until April, and when you go to bed at night, you need to order a small stove to put it beside the bed to drive away the cold.

Otherwise, it would be fine for one or two nights. Over time, it would inevitably lead to excessive dampness and sore legs and waist.

But the old horseman's stove is really a bit simple...

A rusty iron bucket with no foundation.

A grate was installed at a distance of three or five villages on the ground to isolate the coal ash slag.

The charcoal he burns is also the worst quality defective product.

Neither barbecue nor smelting iron, why use such expensive charcoal?

Just keep warm.

The old horsewoman's stove cannot be placed in the same place for too long.

The carbon ash and slag that does not accumulate softly will kill the flames.

It’s okay to wake up during the day, but when you fall asleep, you will forget it.

It was not until I woke up from the cold in the second half of the night that I found that the charcoal fire in the furnace had been extinguished.

The most exquisite stove is the small red mud stove carried by King Huo Wang of Dingxi.

The boss lady is between the old horseman and the King of Dingxi Huowang.

The appearance is not as elegant as it is, but it is always much better than the rusty rusty iron bucket of the old horseman.

"The stove is not good-looking, it's just easy to use and convenient. If you have to go to the big stove, it will be a bit too troublesome."

The boss lady said.

Liu Ruiying nodded and was about to walk outside the door.

The morning wind refreshes the mind, especially for someone like him who didn't sleep much last night, coolness is more effective than warmth at this moment.

"No tea?"

The boss lady asked.

"It's too hot, I feel sleepy after drinking."

Liu Ruiying said.

“There is milk tea today.”

The boss lady continued.

Liu Ruiying has heard of milk tea, which is a drink made of milk and tea.

It is a must-have item for every household in the grassland royal court. However, in peacetime, the five kingdoms and the grassland royal court frequently communicated with each other, and some customs and unique foods were also worn together.

“Is milk tea delicious?”

Liu Ruiying asked.

“Is milk delicious?”

The boss asked with a smile.

“Good!”

Liu Ruiying said.

In the northwest region of the five kingdoms, most people drink dairy products.

As for the south and coastal areas, soy milk and rice porridge are more popular due to geographical restrictions.

As for Zhongdu City, it is impartial, with half of each side.

"Is that tea delicious?"

The boss lady continued to ask.

"It depends on what kind of tea... except flower tea and green tea, everything else is good."

Liu Ruiying said.

Liu Ruiying has visited several of the most famous teahouses in Zhongdu City.

Green tea is too seasonal.

Once Qingming Festival passes, it is like eggplant with frost, and no one cares about selling it at a low price.

Although flower tea is available all year round and there is no need to worry about supply, Liu Ruiying always feels that the fragrance of this flower tea is too strong and a bit pungent after brewing.

Liu Ruiying was extremely disgusted by the dry flowers after being brewed in boiling water in the teacup.

Looking at the colorful, dry and twisted flowers, it was like looking at a naked old woman...

It won't make people feel a little happy, it's just nausea.

Liu Ruiying saw the boss lady take out a square thing from the stove, which was dark in color and flat on the outside.

Then, the knife in her sleeve was stretched out for more than half a foot and stabbed it on the square black block with one knife.

"You must have never seen tea before."

The boss lady said.

“Is this tea?”

Liu Ruiying’s incredible question and answer.

He had never seen such a large piece of tea, and he did not expect that there would be a kind of tea in this world that needs to be divided with a knife.

"This is brick tea. It's also a specialty. If you can't go any further, you will definitely not be able to encounter it... There should be one in Zhongdu City, but you have to spend time looking for it."

The boss lady said.

"Brick tea...is the name unique. Is it a specialty of Zhenbeiwang Domain?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

“Northwest.”

The boss lady said.

After Liu Ruiying thought about it for a while, he understood.

This Zhenbei King Realm is already at the northernmost part of the five king realms, and is even northwest, so isn't it the grassland royal court?

Looking at the dark piece, Liu Ruiying curled her lips...

What good things can the grassland royal court have?

How can such an ugly tea be delicious?
