At noon, Xu Ning came over after lunch. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that there were outsiders in Lao Yaoshu's house, and the three of them were eating.

"Ning Ning is here, come in quickly, have you eaten yet?" The old man's expression softened instantly when he saw him, which surprised Mr. Luo Xi.

This is a stubborn old man. Before that, she wanted Uncle Yao to go to Hangzhou to open a traditional Chinese medicine shop. She could also help out nearby. She would say it twice every year during Chinese New Year, and he hummed every time. reject.

Although he is a doctor, he has never been the kind of soft-spoken person.

It's weird now.

But after seeing Xu Ning, Mr. Luo Xi also felt that this little girl was indeed lovable.

The whole person is fresh and tender, just like the small buds of the tea tree on the branches, the facial features are bright, and the smile is particularly refreshing.

"I just had lunch, so come and have a look." Seeing the old lady staring at her since she came in, Xu Ning didn't feel embarrassed, smiled at her, then bent over and bowed slightly, " Are you the master tea maker that Grandpa Yao said?"

Seeing her actions, Mr. Luo Xi smiled and said, "My surname is Luo."

"Grandma Luo, hello, my name is Xu Ning."

"Sit down first." Old Yao uncle beckoned Xu Ning to sit down, "Eat some more."

"I ate a bowl of noodles at noon, and I'm already full. Grandpa Yao, please eat slowly, don't bother me."

After the three of them had lunch, Luo Xijun pulled Xu Ning to talk to her, and finally said with a smile: "When the time comes, I'll buy a tea or two at a fair price, do you think it's okay? "

"Buy?" Xu Ning was stunned, then hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "You can just stay, I can't take your money, before Grandpa Yao said that you are a famous tea maker in China, most people probably wouldn't ask you to do it, I This is also a big advantage, and besides, I don't know how to taste tea, so you can stay if you like it."

"How did this happen." Mr. Luo Xi said disapprovingly, "You don't know how precious this tea is, I..."

"Okay, what are you pushing around with a child, if you want you to stay, stay, mother-in-law." The old man glanced at the clock on the wall beside him, "Ningning, it's time for you to go to school."

"Okay!" Xu Ning stood up, greeted the three of them, and left Xu's house.

Luo Xijun looked at Xu Ning's back and disappeared outside the door, "You are such a sensible and well-behaved girl, and she speaks and behaves very well. Your village is really outstanding."

"This is one aspect. The child's parents are both college students. His father is the director of the finance department in the town government. His mother is an educated youth who came from Shanghai more than ten years ago. Naturally, she will not be negligent in discipline."

"So that's the case, no wonder."

Luo Xijun didn't stay here for too long, and left that afternoon.

After returning to Hangzhou, Shen Canglan went back to school, while Luo Xijun didn't care about rest, and plunged into the homework of frying tea.

Of course, Shen Canglan is also very concerned about this, so he didn't go back to his home after school in the afternoon, and came to grandma's place to report every day.

About ten days later, Shen Canglan came to grandma's house again, and saw her sitting in the living room, staring at the lacquered wooden box in front of her in a daze.

"Grandma? Did you succeed?" He walked to the wooden wicker chair and sat down.

"Yeah!" Luo Xijun nodded, "According to my expectations, methods and strict requirements, only three taels of these fresh leaves can be fried."

When Shen Canglan heard this, he knew that there must be more than a few tea leaves that were successfully roasted, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "What about now?"

"Six taels of money." Luo Xijun opened the box, saw the fully roasted tea leaves inside, and a strong tea fragrance surged out, making him take a deep breath.

This kind of fragrance is very special. It is true that it is tea fragrance, but it is richer than ordinary tea, but this kind of richness will not make people feel excessive, even Mr. Luo Xi, who is used to drinking tea, can feel it. This fragrance seems to be just right, neither too much nor too little.

Even though the smell is so fragrant, why it would give people such a wonderful feeling really puzzled her.

"Canglan, what do you think? I'm asking about the taste."

Shen Canglan was also in shock. Hearing what grandma said, he looked up at the old man, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Grandma, do you think the same as me?"

Seeing his grandson's expression, Luo Xijun knew that he didn't even need to ask.

"Go and boil a pot of well water, let's soak it for a taste." Luo Xijun told his grandson.

Shen Canglan couldn't wait a long time ago, and immediately got up to get the well water to prepare tea.

An hour and a half later, after Mr. Luo Xijun cooked the tea delicately and artistically, the grandfather and grandson held a cup of tea and took a deep breath under their noses.

"I think the word enlightenment is just an idiom, and now I suddenly think it's perfect to put it here." Shen Canglan was full of emotion, "This smell, take a sip, and the whole mind is instantly sober, really sober."

Mr. Luo Xi didn't speak, looking at the tea in the white porcelain teacup, it was green in color and rich in aroma, and the two tea leaves inside were like the tongue of a sparrow, really beautiful.

Taking a sip, she suddenly felt that a tea garden appeared in front of her eyes, full of greenery, giving people a kind of vigor and vitality.

Drinking tea gives people a sense of vitality, which Luo Xijun has never experienced. Many people know that most people who like to drink tea are older people, and it is really amazing that they can drink out vitality. But I felt that my whole body seemed to be washed away, and I became much younger in an instant.

But Shen Canglan didn't feel this way, he felt more like an illusion that all the discomfort in his body had dissipated, as if his body had been purified and his life had been advanced.

Is it really an illusion?

"Canglan, what do you think?" Luo Xijun looked at his beloved grandson in front of him.

Shen Canglan took another sip, and after a while said, "Perfect."

Luo Xijun looked at him with a smile, "It is enough for my grandson Luo Xijun to say that this tea is excellent."

"Grandma, how much do you think these two are worth?"

"...Priceless!" Luo Xijun dropped these two words, got up and walked to the retro red sandalwood table aside, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of Xiangshan Village.

Shen Canglan knew what grandma was going to do, but he held the teacup and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

While waiting for the time to hang up the phone, Mr. Luo Xi said to his grandson: "Today, first ask Xu Ning how much fresh tea can be produced in a year, and then I will help him find out in the tea industry whether to sell it at a high price or sell it at a high price. auction."

"...Auction?" Shen Canglan looked at grandma in surprise, "You are really good."

"No matter what, the tea world is bound to cause some waves." She sighed, "The quality of this tea is the only one I have ever seen in my life. According to my method, one catty of tea can make two taels of tea. You still think it is unusual. ?”

Of course Shen Canglan didn't. Looking at the ordinary tea merchants outside, many of them are trying to make more money. The procedure of sorting and sifting is very casual, and if they are more careful, it may be difficult to reach the level of precision of his grandma.

Obviously, since such a ratio can be achieved, it means that the quality of the tea is absolutely extraordinary. As Shen Canglan who has been influenced by it since childhood, how could he not be surprised.

"I have also carefully measured it before. The size and weight of each bud are almost exactly the same, and the difference is completely negligible."

"So weird?" Shen Canglan slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"What's weird." Luo Xijun couldn't laugh or cry, "The ancient tribute tea can also reach this level, but now you can't see it. No matter how good it is, it can't meet the quality standards of tribute tea. For example, Luojia used to be a tribute tea. Huang Shang, it is difficult for me to copy many methods of my ancestors, but now this tea has made up for my shortcomings. It can be said that even if it goes back to that time, the current tea can fully meet the standard of tribute tea, only higher Not low."

"Then you still plan to keep one or two?" This is doubled.

"...I agreed." Luo Xijun also felt distressed, not because of anything else, but because she spoke, the little girl would definitely agree, even if she didn't want a single cent, but she didn't want to.

That little girl didn't know how much it was worth, but she couldn't take advantage of others, and it was already very rare to get one or two.

I called Xiangshan Village again, and Luo Xijun and Lao Yaoshu talked for a while before hanging up.

However, Shen Canglan understood the meaning of the conversation between the two, that is, can she take out two taels of tea leaves, and she will personally supervise the auction, and the rest will be sent to Xu Ning in Xiangshan Village.

Uncle Yao came to Xu's house this afternoon and talked about it with Qin Xuejuan.

Qin Xuejuan naturally knew what was going on with the tea tree, but she definitely couldn't tell. Fortunately, Xu Ning had told them before, not to mention the old lady, and Qin Xuejuan didn't show any flaws.

I just heard that the quality of the tea was very high, and even the master who made the tea offered to help them auction it. The old lady didn't mind, but Qin Xuejuan was shocked.

"Uncle Yao, is that tea really so good? I thought Ningning got some wild vegetable sprouts from somewhere." Qin Xuejuan frowned, "It's so troublesome that it can be auctioned?"

"Isn't it very good." Old Yao uncle said with a chuckle, "No wonder you don't know him, this child is really a waste, and he picked a young shoot back. My old friend said that if you bring a leaf, the value will be very high , the tea produced is definitely more than that.”

"I said that some time ago when I went home, I kept talking about tea and so on. You, an old man, taught you feelings." The old lady glared at Old Yaoshu, "Didn't she learn to make medicinal food from you?"

"Look at what you said." Old Yao uncle immediately blew his beard and stared, "Ning Ning is willing to learn, and I am naturally willing to teach. There is no limit to learning. If you like learning, why don't you not like it?"

"Too lazy to talk to you." The old lady snorted.

Old Yao uncle pointed to the old lady and said to Qin Xuejuan: "Look at your mother, it has been so many years, and you are still so unreasonable."

"I want you to take care of it." The old lady retorted unconvinced.

"Who cares about you?" Old Yao Shu was unwilling to show weakness.

He knows that Yu Chunhua has a good heart, but her mouth is not forgiving. They have been in the same village for decades, and they have known her temper for a long time. Occasionally, when the old woman has a headache, he will come to see her. Even so, he can't keep his mouth shut , Occasionally arguing about two innocuous jokes can make the mood very good.

After sitting for a while, Uncle Yao was about to go back, but was stopped by Qin Xuejuan.

"Uncle Yao, look, it's almost dinner time, let's eat here tonight, and save Ningning a trip with the food."

Originally, Uncle Yao was going to refuse, but after hearing what he said, he didn't even give you the chance to refuse, so he just nodded and agreed.

What if you don't agree, and you can really let Xu Ning go home to deliver meals, even if you send him, I'm too embarrassed to ask Xu Ning to bring it back, why bother.

But he still said, "Juan'er, my uncle has food at home, don't let Ningning bring me food in the future."

Before Qin Xuejuan could speak, the old lady snorted again, "You can eat it if I give it to you. If I really don't want you to eat it, I won't give it away. It's not bad for you."

The old Yao uncle suddenly laughed, "You big girl, you are so rude with your mouth, then I will be tired every day from now on."

"Who cares about you."

This means that you can eat as much as you want, and you don’t care if you come to your house for dinner?

When Xu Ning came back in the afternoon, he was also shocked when he heard the news.

But I discussed it with my parents during dinner, and they both agreed.

As for the auction, Xu Ning's family didn't worry about it, even if they wanted to see the excitement, they didn't have the time.

The key point is that if someone asks about the origin of this tea, they will not be able to tell.

Therefore, the only requirement of their family is "secrecy", and they cannot reveal that it is the tea made by Xu's family.

Luo Xijun naturally thought about this clearly, Xu Ning was still a child, if she was an adult of the Xu family, she might still say it.

The reason why it was concluded that it was related to Xu Ning herself was also a conclusion drawn from her observations.

If Xu Ning's elders get the tea, no matter what, just a little girl can't be the leader. Children may not know the market of tea, but adults are more or less knowledgeable than children.

As for the auction, she didn't intend to go directly to the auction house. The International Tea Fair will open in the Imperial Capital in less than a month, and it will be the best place to promote the auction.

It was only when she thought that one or two of her tea leaves might be used up, that she really felt pain.

Later, because of something she discovered, it also changed from pain to reluctance.

Regarding this tea, she has countless doubts in her heart, and she doesn't know whether she can get the answer in this life.

And the answer she couldn't ask for the most was not where the tea was picked, but how could there be such fresh tea in this season. You must know that the picking season of Longjing tea is very harsh, and the taste is different from day to day. The best time is around the Qingming Festival, and now it is September.

She is not Ren Yongjia. It is true that the old guy likes to drink tea, but he also inherited the temperament of the family who inquires less and talks less. She is one of the few people in China who is good at tea and understands tea. It is strange if she doesn't want to know.

However, due to Ren Yongjia's obstruction, these problems can only be rotten in his heart in the end.

If you really have money, if you want to ask Qin Xuejuan what she wants to do, it will naturally be business.

And what about Xu Ning? She still wants to buy a house.

The price of buying a house now, even in the imperial capital, is not that high, but in a few years, until the end of the 1980s, the house price will rise steadily every year, until decades later, it will make countless people pay for it Looking up at the price, sighing.

Xu Ning wants to have his own house, not rent a house, let alone be a house slave for the rest of his life.

Before her death, more than 80% of the married people working in the hotel were house slaves, and the remaining 20% ​​had houses in their hometown, or were given to them after their parents' houses were demolished.

Everyone wants to live a good life, Xu Ning is still no exception in this life, but he used the wrong method in his previous life, but not in this life.

In mid-October, Mr. Luo Xi came to Xiangshan Village again, this time still bringing his grandson with him, but last time he took the train, this time he came by car.

The car belonged to Shen Canglan's father. The last time he came here was because Shen's father was on a business trip by car, and the grandparent and grandson could only take the train.

When Qin Xuejuan was holding more than 20,000 yuan in her hand, Luo Xijun was still a little surprised by that calm expression.

This is 20,000 yuan, definitely not a small sum, and Qin Xuejuan's demeanor let her know that Xu Ning's mother's family must also be very wealthy.

It's just that Grandma Xu Ning's attitude made her quite incomprehensible. If Qin Xuejuan didn't lose her composure, she could understand it, but Xu Ning's grandma looked like the kind of rural old lady who behaved very well when she saw so much money. Usual, what is the origin of this family?

I only found out about this question after quietly asking Uncle Yao. It turned out that the old lady of the Xu family was also a big family. There were servants and tenants in the family, no wonder.

This time, the grandfather and grandson were not in a hurry to go back. Shen Canglan was driving the car, and Luo Xijun was also worried about driving for two days in a row without taking a break, so he decided to rest here at night and leave tomorrow.

After the old lady heard this, she told them to rest next door to her house. Of course, she would ask her son to call old man Jiang at night. This is the most basic attitude in life.

In the evening, Xu Ning cooked dinner, which was a common meal, but the two guests had a great time eating it.

And that night, Mr. Luo Xi personally brewed a cup of tea for those present.

The Xu family members are not very good at drinking tea, but they also think the tea is very delicious, but the old uncle Yao tasted it and praised it greatly.

"Excellent." He narrowed his eyes happily, "No tea I drank before can compare to this."

Luo Xijun smiled and said: "Otherwise, how could you think it was possible to get such a high price at auction, and didn't you realize that I have brewed it several times?"

"Really." When she said this, the old Yao uncle immediately realized, and then asked: "How many times?"

"I've counted at home and at tea exhibitions before, and the average Longjing can only be brewed at most three times, that is, less than ten cups, and the taste will be very weak after that." Here is the ten cups Luo Xijun mentioned. The specific tea set she uses, of course, the size and quantity of the tea set are naturally different, "I have calculated this, and the taste will become weak only after sixty cups, and the first sixty cups are almost nothing to me. Variety."

Old Yao Uncle was simply astonished, looked at Mr. Luo Xi and said, "Even you can hardly taste it, can others drink seventy or eighty cups? Is this fairy tea?"

"I think so too." Luo Xijun nodded with a smile.
