He pinched the fur on the wound as hard as he could, and with every pinch, the cheetah twitched, making Dou Wang unable to continue, and quickly spit out the chewed menthol. Right now, he didn't have any other herbs, and he didn't know if this mint would work, but the bee sting on his neck was already gone.

It was better than nothing. He placed the menthol evenly on the wound of the cheetah and tied it tightly with a piece of cloth that he had prepared beforehand, afraid that the cheetah would be dishonest and drop the mint paste while running.

"It should be fine now. Try standing up and giving it a try?"

"Slow down, you're still injured."

It seemed like he was responding to Dou Wang's call. Dou Wang looked at the place where the cheetah had disappeared for a long time before he started to pack his bag again. The bag was torn down a few times, and there weren't enough things to wrap it up with. After all, Dou Wang had to take care of the bag and tie it to his back.

After tying up the oil paper bag on his wrist, Dou Wang looked at the place where the cheetah disappeared, then lifted his leg to continue his journey. This really was a magical encounter, even after Dou Wang arrived at the town entrance, he was still thinking about how he treated the cheetah's wounds, the more he thought about it, the more magical it felt.

He had actually come into contact with a cheetah before. Recently, he and the cheetah's nose was facing the tip, and the smell of a bloody monster that the cheetah was spitting out seemed to still be twirling around the tip of its nose, causing Dou Wang to be extremely excited.

It was already dawn, and the merchants of the town had already opened their doors to start their business. Today was not a market, and the market appeared to be sparsely populated, so Dou Wang had no idea what kind of market it was. He had come here two times, but never had the opportunity to gather and didn't know what day the market would be, but he had heard from the villagers that it would be very lively in the future.

"Second brother, are we selling tea leaves here?"

Dou Wang carefully asked. The waiter turned around and looked at Dou Wang. He wasn't too concerned about this young man with tattered clothes, but he still answered him.

I heard it was really the tea house that Chun Wen mentioned, and Dou Wang was in high spirits.

"Oh, I want to see the tea."

Tea? Dressed like this? The waiter pursed his lips and looked at the young man's tattered clothes, which were still stained with a blade of grass.

"I can see it, but I can't touch it. Don't get too close either."

After all, he was just opening the door to welcome guests. Even if the waiter didn't like this young man's clothes weren't neatly arranged, it wouldn't be good for him to chase him out.

When he saw Dou Wang's actions, the waiter had a better impression of him. At least this was a guest who respected his own teahouse, even if he couldn't afford to buy any tea leaves, he would still feel a sense of respect, and that was enough.

"Little brother, you want to see the tea leaves, right?"

The waiter asked.

"Yeah, I've always heard people talk about tea. I've never seen it before, so I wanted to take a look. I heard it's very expensive."

If it was someone else, they would have kicked him out long ago. If he didn't buy it, he would just look at it, and that would be funny, but this Dou Wang was so simple and honest, that the Second Brother really liked him. In any case, there weren't any customers this early in the morning, so he should open his eyes to the young man.

"Hey, this is the tea leaves."

The waiter led Dou Wang to a row of porcelain jars, then lifted a lid so that Dou Wang could see what was inside.

Dou Wang could smell a fragrance, grass, or whatever it was. In front of his eyes, he saw a bunch of dark green things. The strips were very small and didn't have any resemblance to the plants he gave spring warmth. The smell was even more different.

"This isn't tea, it's very expensive, right?"

Dou Wang took a few glances before taking a big step back. He was afraid that the waiter would despise him, but he seemed to have gotten a good impression of him. Thus, he didn't want to be long-winded.

"The tea leaves are all very expensive. The ones I gave you were of the lower grade, but one tael would still cost ten pieces of gold. I'll show you the most expensive ones. Come here and take a look. One tael of silver per leaf."

The waiter spoke very proudly as if the tea leaves were his, but Dou Wang was really scared.

He stood on his tiptoes and looked at the tea leaves in the pot from a distance. He did not see any difference between the black and green tea leaves in the pot from the beginning, only they were a bit thicker. A tael of tea leaves cost a tael of silver, and a tael of tea leaves cost ten taels of silver.

However, Dou Wang finally understood why Lin Chunnuan was so excited when she found out that she picked these tea trees. If the things she picked could be used to make these tea leaves lying in jars, then it would mean that sshe had become this valuable. Even without using one tael of silver, it would mean that he would have to earn quite a bit of money with just one tael of silver.

Dou Wang felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He had never longed for such a thing before, and that was to sell today's items at a good price and buy a pot for Chun Wen so that she could make tea and earn a lot of money.

"Alright, if you don't want to buy it, I won't be able to accompany you for too long. The shop still has work to do."

Although the young boy looked pretty cute from his silly look, the waiter still couldn't keep him company and play around.

"Thank you, brother. I'm already very happy to meet you in the store. Is there anything I can help you with? Say whatever you want and I'll be leaving."

Although Dou Wang lived alone and didn't interact much with others, he knew that you treated others well, and others would treat you well as well.

Of course, this theory was not practical for the villagers of Reliance Village, but, spring warmth was the special one. If he treated her well, she would treat him well, and as long as he treated others sincerely, Dou Wang believed that others would also treat him sincerely. Furthermore, he could forgive the villagers of Reliance Village, they were too afraid of getting rid of them.

"There's no need for me to help you. Go back to your work."

The second brother had never seen such a polite young man. Although his clothes weren't very good, he was a good person.

Dou Wang really didn't know what the waiter was thinking, but he was very grateful that he gave him the chance to get to know the tea leaves. In his heart, he firmly believed that the waiter was a good person.

"Second brother, you're such a good person. I'll give you a few slices of honey-made mint. This can be used as tea to boil water or to chew dry. It's good for the throat and stomach."

Dou Wang opened the oil paper bag in his hand and signaled the waiter to bring a small bowl and chopsticks. Dou Wang picked up six or seven pieces of honey-made menthol and put them into the bowl, then wrapped the oil paper again.

"Second brother, I'm sorry. This is something others want to sell, so I can only give you this much."

Dou Wang really felt sorry for not being able to give too much to the second brother, but the second brother stared at the bowl of food in a daze for a long time. Not to mention anything else, just its appearance was very pleasing.

"Young man, can you wait here for me for a moment?" "I'll go in for a while, help me look after the store."

Dou Wang was truly flattered. However, he also knew that avoiding suspicion, being bullied too many times since he was young, and avoiding being framed by others was practically his natural instinct.

"Alright, second brother, I'll go to the door and stand guard for you."

Dou Wang didn't wait for the waiter's reply. He directly walked out and stood guard at the entrance of the teahouse. At the side of the entrance, there was an old man selling peaches. The peaches were in a wicker basket.

"Great sir, how much can you sell today? I don't think there will be many people on the streets."

Dou Wang walked over to chat with the old man, but his eyes just happened to see the entrance of the teahouse. The young second brother looked at Dou Wang's actions and made up his mind.

The waiter entered the back room as fast as he could and knocked on the door.

"I was told that I woke up a bit later today. If you have nothing important to tell me, I'll fire you."

A loud roar came from the room, causing the second brother to roll his eyes.

His boss was good at everything, except getting out of bed every day was tiring, but he also had an advantage,

"Boss, someone gave me something. I think I can sell it for a good price, so I brought it to show you."

With a 'bang', the door was opened, revealing a messy head. If it was anyone else, they would definitely be shocked. However, the waiter had gotten used to his boss opening his shop with money.
