Chapter 437 Blind Date (Part 2)

Dong......

The dragon boat incense leak in the corner of the teahouse burned to the end, and the metal ball hit the flat wooden surface, making a dull vibration.

This is a simple timer.

On the wooden dragon boat shape, several bases are fixed, and the same number of hour incense is inserted in the base. A thin line is tied to the bottom of the hour incense, and a metal ball is fixed at the other end of the thin line.

After lighting the hour incense, after an hour, the incense burns to the end, the thin line is lit, and the small ball will fall at the same time, which serves as a time signal.

However, every time the incense burns out, it needs to be replaced and lit again, which is a bit troublesome.

Therefore, most places now use more accurate and simpler hourglass timers. However, because the dragon boat incense leak is simple to make and cheap, it is still very popular in this kind of small shop.

"Guest, guest, do you want to add water...?" The waiter stood beside Han Yi, holding a large teapot, and asked with some stammering.

"Fill it up, fill it up for me." Han Yi glanced at the dragon boat incense leak, turned around, and said in a flat tone.

"Okay..." The waiter in the teahouse had a sad face, as if he was about to cry.

What kind of people are these? They don't even want snacks, and they just drink tea for two hours.

Yes, we don't charge for adding water here, but you can't just grab a sheep and pull it hard. After half a day, I drank a whole bucket of water. The tea has been brewed for such a long time, so how can it still taste good?

The buckets for water are not small buckets used at home, but large buckets that can hold two stones of water.

These days, prices are soaring, even the price of water is not cheap. Especially for this kind of teahouse, the water used is all sweet spring water purchased with money.

Selling a pot of "Purple Flower Tea" and using so much water is a big loss.

Han Yi didn't care about anything else, he sat here quietly, waiting patiently.

Dong...

Another hour passed, the dragon boat incense clock sounded again, and the waiter replaced the incense again.

"It seems that it's time to go." Han Yi looked up and checked the time.

"Take care, guest, and welcome next time..." The waiter was overjoyed, and he didn't even light the incense, and hurriedly sent Han Yi out.

"Ahem!!" The teahouse owner coughed loudly behind him a few times, and the waiter didn't say the next "welcome next time".

Han Yi glanced at the boss and waiter's face, and then looked at the tea on his table, and instantly understood the reason.

These teahouses use tea as a sign to attract customers, and the profit is not high. The money is still made by a single order of snacks.

I guess I have been sitting here for so long, just drinking water without eating, and the store owner is not willing.

He felt a little funny in his heart, and didn't say much. He shook his head, paid the tea money, and smiled and said to the waiter: "It's okay, I won't come back next time."

After that, he didn't care about the reaction of the other side and pushed the door out.

Outside the teahouse, the sun had already set, and the night covered most of the sky like a curtain. The bright moon was gone, and the stars were dim.

Han Yi glanced at the sky and sighed.

Although, he was not interested in this kind of marriage arranged by elders, and even had some aversion.

However, Zhong Yunxiu was his teacher, and he came anyway.

Before he came, he still had some ideas in his mind, thinking about how to reasonably reject this matter without causing his master's disgust.

Now, it seems that not only he is repulsive to this matter, but the woman is also dissatisfied with it, and directly rejected him.

But it's better this way, so that he doesn't have to waste words to explain to Zhong Yunxiu.

However, even so, his eyes glanced at a place outside the teahouse.

This feeling of being stood up still makes people feel uncomfortable...

He thought so, and walked in another direction.

......

......

Baiqiaofang, Juxianglou

"You have been doing pretty well lately, so generous." Han Yi sat at the table, looking at the table of food with some surprise.

"Brother, isn't this to thank you? Thanks to the method you taught me before, those little chickens have been trained according to your method... Hey, don't say it, it's really useful!" Meng Ren sat next to Han Yi, and picked up food for Han Yi.

"Come, try this, this dish is the signature dish of Juxianglou, and only in this winter can you have such a channel to eat it."

In front of Han Yi, there was a plate of crystal clear, slightly translucent shrimps.

This is the North Cold Frozen Shrimp that can only be caught in the Yonghan Icefield in the Far North. And it is a unique delicacy that can only be transported to Huayang City in winter.

The North Cold Frozen Shrimp is only half the size of ordinary sea shrimps and lives in the Arctic Sea at minus dozens of degrees. No cooking is required, just fish it up and contact it with air, and it can be eaten.

The shrimp meat is extremely delicious, the shrimp shell is extremely thin, and it melts in the mouth, which is very popular among the rich and powerful.

The only drawback is that after taking it out of the ice cellar, it must be eaten as soon as possible while it is cold, otherwise it will turn into ice water after a long time.

Han Yi chatted with Meng Ren while eating delicious food.

After he returned to Jingtian Manor, he originally wanted to find Meng Ren to discuss the matter of looking after Tao Qingtang.

Tao Qingtang had a good relationship with him. Before, she asked Han Yi to find a few elite players in Jingtian Manor, preferably staying near Huayang City for a long time, so as to take care of the business of "Plum Blossom Pavilion".

So, he thought of Meng Ren at the first time.

But he didn't expect that he couldn't find Meng Ren after searching around in Jingtian Manor.

He asked someone and found out that Meng Ren had already graduated and left Mingfengyuan.

However, unlike his choice, Meng Ren chose the position of instructor.

"I really didn't expect that you, a reckless man, would choose to be an instructor. With your brain, can you teach others?" Han Yi shook his head.

He was not surprised that Meng Ren was a master. This person's talent was originally very strong, and his cultivation level was not weak. In addition, his "Iron Wood Treasure Body" and his cultivation were also martial arts crazy. The fourth level of true skills could not stop him.

However, he really didn't expect that Meng Ren, who looked big and strong and devoted to martial arts, would choose the position of instructor when he graduated.

No matter how he thought about it, he always felt that the style was not right.

Many of the training methods he taught Meng Ren before were just small tricks he figured out by combining his memories of his previous life with the current practice methods. He just used them himself. He was really afraid that he would teach others with disabilities.

"Brother, you don't know that my family also runs a boxing school, especially my father, who is a famous martial arts coach in Huayang City. I have the support of my family to be a teacher, and it is more convenient for me to practice martial arts in many cases." Meng Ren touched his forehead and laughed.
