It was the first time we met in such a completely normal environment, but we greeted each other like old friends who had known each other for a long time, and there was no strangeness or politeness, and the four of us sat around the root carving table and went straight to the point.

The recipe that Shi Xiaoyi handed to Shi Xiaodan was just in case, in fact, when she talked to us about the secret recipe, she didn't need any manuscript at all, she said it all while making tea. From the cultivation of soil to the planting of tea trees, including the requirements of the weather when planting tea trees, the requirements of soil pH and even the requirements of air humidity, the requirements of the vegetation around the tea, the method and time of killing insects, and even the time and heat of tea frying, and even the strict requirements for the selection of fire materials, are all accurate to the extreme.

And in the process of her brewing, I also found that I found that Shi Xiaoyi's way of brewing tea is very special and elegant, much more accurate than Zeng Zinuo. The three of us stared at her intently, and even Zeng Zinuo was humble as if he was asking: "This brew is also tight, right?"

"Of course, the way the tea is taken, the amount of contact area between the hand and the teapot, and even the person's own body temperature will affect the taste. Shi Xiaoyi said while holding the teapot in his hand to demonstrate: "It is necessary to contact the bottom of the palm and the purple sand, and it is best not to pad in the middle, many people's hands can't stand such a water temperature, but in fact, after the popularity and purple sand are dissolved with tea, it will make the taste better." ”

Zeng Zinuo nodded instructively: "Oh..."

"This is the tea I cultivated a few years ago when I was doing experiments, and it is definitely not as good as this year's spring tea, but it always tastes much better than the organic tea on the market. Shi Xiaoyi divided the tea into a tea cup and handed it to us: "The experiment of this recipe is completely cultivated in an ideal environment, but I believe that as long as the large-scale planting is properly controlled, the final taste will not be bad." ”

In the process of brewing, I probably listened to Shi Xiaoyi talk about some cultivation and frying methods, which has benefited me a lot, and listening to her talk about other precautions about this recipe when tasting tea, it made me look at this young but very accomplished woman. After listening to what she said, I just saw what is the highest level of high-end organic tea industry chain, if it is really produced in strict accordance with this, I think it cannot be measured by money at all.

After finishing the matter, Shi Xiaoyi and I chatted like old friends, "Ke An, if you come to the previous life, I believe that the two of us must be siblings." ”

I smiled slightly, not so open: "Maybe, I just think it's kind to see you." ”

"Do you know why Jin Junzhong chose you to replace me after meeting your people and drinking your tea?" Shi Xiaoyi reached out and touched my hand: "You even have the same body temperature as me, although I am sure that the taste we brew is still different, and the difference is much less than others." ”

This is a very subtle feeling, I can't tell the reason or the feeling, maybe we have the same upbringing, and the personality developed in the living environment will be somewhat similar, but the difference is that she left home too early and devoted herself to studying this formula.

"By the way, Xiaoyi, how do you know that Jin Junzhong is going to attack you?" Zeng Zinuo, like me, was full of curiosity about yesterday's events.

Shi Xiaoyi took a sip of tea, gently put the tea cup on the table, and wiped his hands with a wet towel: "The reason why I came back from South Korea was because he asked me to sell the formula in my hand, I didn't want to, and I went back to China after a big quarrel between the two of us." ”

"Isn't it because he doesn't want to go back with you?"

Shi Xiaoyi shook his head: "He told you that?"

"Hmm. ”

"How could it be? If he hadn't asked me to sell the formula, I wouldn't have been able to come back so early, my laboratory in Korea was already perfectly built, and I was going to continue my Ph.D. studies and develop a recipe for black tea. But Kim Jun-jung forced me to sell the formula, and I began to realize that he was not as good as I originally thought. Although he has a high degree of education and ability, he is still lazy to do it subconsciously, and it was okay before the formula came out. Shi Xiaoyi filled our teacups with tea, and then said: "In my world, the research and development of tea comes first, and my lover comes last. So I didn't get upset, packed up my things, disposed of the lab, and came back. ”

And what happened after she returned to China was much the same as what I knew. There was an accident in the family, her mother lost all the family property, Shi Tengxiong accepted Chen Yimei's request for marriage with her acquiescence, but on this issue, Shi Xiaoyi had her own ideas, she said: "In fact, after breaking up with Jin Junzhong, it doesn't matter to me who I marry." I was thinking that if marrying Jang Nam could give me a lab like in Korea, I could continue to study my black tea recipes, even black tea, and so on... As long as I have enough financial resources to support me, none of this is a problem. ”

"You're a little like your dad. Ni Juan said appreciatively: "Your father was doing new research and development of chemical products, and he stayed in the laboratory for 2 months. ”

"Yes, but there is a fundamental difference between me and my dad. I didn't think about how much economic benefit my formula would bring, as long as I could figure it out, it would be a good thing for humanity, and even if no one was doing it now, I believed that one day it would be used by others. It's progress in the tea industry, not how much money is going to be made..."

I have to admit that Shi Xiaoyi's ideological realm has reached a point where I can't touch it. When her family was already down, she still didn't think about using her own formula to exchange for money, but just wanted to do it for the benefit of future generations.

Qiu Xu called, Ni Juan answered the phone and said: "Xiaoyi, Ke An, you two talk first, right? I and Zinuo went upstairs to deceive Jin Junzhong, I have to get as much evidence as possible, so that after sending it to the public security organ, I can be convicted more heavily." ”

"Okay, my test results this morning, Dr. Xia said that he would send them later. Shi Xiaoyi still said calmly.

"Later, when I'm done asking, you'll come up to me, and I'll listen to the recording for you to see if there's anything else to add. ”

After Ni Juan and Zeng Zinuo went upstairs, Shi Xiaoyi changed the pot of new tea and continued to talk to me about her return to China. Later, her marriage with Zhang Nan was put on the agenda, Lei Xi made an appointment with Ouyang Lanlan and drugged her, Shi Xiaoyi said this, her expression did not change in the slightest, and said lightly: "Actually, when I woke up and saw Zhang Hounian lying on the same bed, I knew that someone was going to harm me, I thought it was for my formula, in order to protect it, I pretended to be crazy as soon as possible..."

I still couldn't understand it, and asked, "But do you really care so much about this formula?

"Kim Jun-jung contacted me many times after I returned to China, and at first it was kind words, but then it turned into a threat. He said that if I didn't hand over the recipe while I was alive, he would let me die and hand it over. At that time, I thought that the woman named Rai was sent by Kim Junjung, and I didn't want to die, and my only way to survive was to pretend to be crazy. In addition, the situation at that time really made me not know how to face life, and I really wanted to escape. So I just pretended to be crazy, thinking about hiding first. It's just that I didn't expect to live in the hospital, I was so used to this kind of life, and then I didn't want to go out again at all. ”

I think that people who are often in a high realm to a certain extent may yearn to live in their own world, right? I can actually understand Shi Xiaoyi very well at this point, she chose to pretend to be crazy and hide after facing family changes and her own changes. And in the face of Zhang Nan's marriage in those years, I also chose to completely lock myself off and stay at home every day to live in my own world. The only difference between us is that I have hairy and she doesn't, I look normal and she's crazy.

But that night, I heard very clearly that Zhang Luo came to Jin Junzhong, I don't think it should be like this, at least I still believe that Lei Xi arranged Shi Xiaoyi and Zhang Hounian like this, and it should not be cooperating with Jin Junzhong. After all, from what I know, Lei Xi did not have the conditions to know Kim Jun-jung that year. "Lei Xi and Jin Junzhong shouldn't know each other, right? She did that because she didn't want you to marry Zhang Nan. ”

"It didn't matter before, but when Kim Jun-jung came to wake me up again, it was related. Shi Xiaoyi looked out the window, as if recalling: "I was diagnosed with a brain tumor the year before last, and that year it happened that several of our classmates who went to South Korea to study abroad returned to China to organize a class reunion, which was closed for many years. Even if I have become abnormal in their eyes, even if I don't speak, just look. So I pretended to be vague and wanted to participate, and my dad promised me to go. But I didn't expect Kim Jun-jung to come to travel at that time, and I was quite surprised to see him again at the class reunion. That day, Kim Junzhong cried in front of his classmates, he said that he caused me to be like this, and he was a little shameless to see me again. ”

I listened to Shi Xiaoyi like a story, and interjected from time to time: "You two... Have you ever loved it?"
