But at this moment, a young waiter came out from the inner room, carrying a large iron pot in his hand.
He quickly ran to the table for three people and filled their teacups respectively.
It is said to be tea, but in fact what is poured out is simply hot water.
There is no way, the tea is produced in Xingyue Prefecture, Lingnan Prefecture, remote in the Western Regions, and transported thousands of miles to here, and the price has increased more than a hundred times.
It would be nice to have water in this place.
The waiter poured the water but did not leave. He stood in front of the table and glanced at Li Chen and Li Sao, then asked Sha Lifei, "Are you paying off the debt?"
As soon as these words came out, Shalifei immediately showed an angry look on his face: "What a waste!"
"When did I, Shali Fei, ever use a monk to pay off my debt?"
"Go quickly, let's serve a leg of lamb first, and then three bowls of wormwood noodles."
When the waiter heard this, he asked again: "Are you serious that you won't pay back the two sheep you owed before?"
"Snapped!"
Shali Fei slapped the table: "Grandma, you are such a badass, you are becoming less and less discerning on the little stool."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will talk to your shopkeeper!"
When the waiter heard this, he curled his lips and left.
As he walked away, he kept mumbling something.
Two sheep?
Pay the debt now?
Seeing the waiter's eyes full of reluctance, Li Chen couldn't help but feel nervous.
Adding Li Sao myself, there are exactly two...
However, Li Chen glanced at Sha Lifei with his interpretive mirror, but he didn't have any evil thoughts in his heart.
Looking at the waiter's back as he left, he opened his mouth and cursed: "I've been thinking about slaughtering sheep all day long."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and smiled at Li Chen: "Two mages, don't be offended."
"Just a stupid boy."
"The sheep he's talking about are..."
"Ahem, cough, cough, you two mages, don't think too much."
Shali Fei looked startled, and then explained awkwardly: "It is understandable that the material in the sea of sand is poor. It is understandable."
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
When Li Chen heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
What does it mean to understand?
I really don't understand!
Only then did Li Sao react, and she couldn't help but look at Li Chen with fear.
At this time, I heard Shali Fei laugh again:
"The two mages don't know something."
"I, Shali Fei, also collect and sell sheep, except for monks."
Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't lie.
Judging from the display in the interpretation mirror, he indeed had no ill intentions towards the two of them.
"It's a long story."
"About when I was young, I participated in the Sand Sea Trial at White Camel Villa.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the sand sea, I encountered sand pirates, and my white camel that was leading the way was so irritated that it broke free from the reins and disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"I was left confused in the sea of sand."
"Just when I was dying and thought I was going to die in the desert, I was rescued by a mysterious monk."
"He showed me the way and helped me walk out of the sea of sand safely. This kindness is truly unforgettable."
"So I decided at that time that in the future, as long as you are a monk, I will do my best to help you, and I will never have any evil thoughts."
After hearing this, Li Chen nodded: "Amitabha."
"Repaying kindness with gratitude is a great good deed."
"I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha, I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha."
Not long after, the waiter came out again.
Only this time I was holding a tray.
On the tray were three bowls of hot mugwort noodles, which smelled very pleasant.
As for the leg of lamb he wanted, it didn't arrive at all.
I think it was because he didn't pay back the 'sheep' he owed the shopkeeper.
"Alas, where is my leg of lamb?"
"You made it for me?"
Hearing this, the waiter in the shop froze on his feet and turned around and said: "Our shopkeeper said that mutton is very hot. Like these two masters, you can eat some mugwort noodles to quell the fire."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Shali Fei was left gnashing his teeth at the table: "Damn stinky bitch!"
Smelly bitches?
Li Chen frowned and realized that the shopkeeper was actually a female.
"Two mages, you're welcome."
"This mouse noodle is indeed defeated by fire."
After saying that, he unceremoniously took out his chopsticks and started to eat happily.
Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other and each picked up their bowls.
I have to say that even after living in the open air for days, I would be satisfied with just a mouthful of hot food.
The three of them just passed by like this.
It took less than a minute to make a cup of tea, and there were three clean white porcelain bowls on the table.
Even though the shop looks shabby, the food here is delicious.
"Two mages, are you full?"
Shali Fei wiped his shiny beard, reached into his arms and fished for a long time, but no gold or silver came out.
At this time, Li Chen had already placed a spirit stone on the table.
