Chapter 17: First Meeting!
"Uncle Cha, this is from Zhejiang, uh, Mr. Xia. Lao Lu swallowed back the habitual introduction of a certain boss, because he really felt that this title was very inconsistent with the young man in front of him, but he couldn't find a suitable title for a while.
"Oh, hello, hello. Xia Sheng. The old man was a little behind his ears, so he spoke quite loudly and slurred a little, and Fusu thought it was very cute.
"Hello, Cha Ye, my name is Xia Mingshu, you can call me Xiao Xia. "Although he is strictly more than 2,000 years old, in front of this old man, he has completely abandoned the feeling of being an 'elder'.
"Oh, little tree. "The old man is stupid and can't tell if it's summer or a tree.
However, Xiaoshu is also very appropriate.
Fusu smiled softly and followed the old man into the house.
Mrs. Cha turned around and brought out the monkey kui brewed in a big tea bowl, "Taste it and quench your thirst." It's very fragrant, it's very fragrant. The smiling old woman had lost her front teeth, and her face was round and very gentle and kind.
"We've been in this tea mountain for a long time, ah, my grandfather will be here at that time. Yes, my father said, Tongzhi year, Tongzhi year is here. Old man Cha picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips before wiping his mouth.
"I don't know any further. "From the moment I received a call from Lao Lu saying that I was coming over, the old couple waited under the small fence at the gate of the courtyard, and they really felt dry at this time.
The old man motioned to his wife to give him some more water, and then said, "In my life, no one wants to stay in this mountain in the future, and they all run to the city." My two sons and three little grandsons are reluctant to come to the tea mountain, and they are tired of planting tea. They said that we two old ink bones know how to look at the tea mountain and pick tea. They all say that they will take us to the city to enjoy the blessings, how can we get used to it? ”
After speaking, the old man glanced at the old lady again, and the old lady also looked at him, and the two old men grinned.
Although Fusu doesn't know what love in the world is, he has also seen the love and hatred of many men and women in the world. The two old men in front of them are probably the most authentic appearance of the word happiness.
Happiness is the simplest of all. You know me, I know you. I'll follow you wherever you're going. It doesn't matter how things go.
Listening to the old man introduce the tea mountain, every little bit of everything, including which year the yield was particularly poor, which year a batch of trees were sick, and which year many tea trees broke due to sudden hail, etc...
Lao Lu didn't listen too carefully, and he already had a relatively in-depth understanding of this tea mountain.
Lao Lu is a professional handover, familiar with people in Xuancheng, and I heard that there is an old tea mountain in the depths of the monkey pit looking for someone to take over. He thought it was a business, so he asked the old couple to understand the specific situation, and submitted project proposals to several large tea shops, but he didn't expect to get the favor of the top three 'Nanyu' tea shops in ---the industry.
However, in Lao Lu's eyes, this man from 'Nanyu' is a bit strange, not like a professional manager, not like a tea procurement company that he often deals with, and he can't be the boss behind the scenes. Qiao Ziye, the boss of 'Nanyu', heard that he is a very easy-going person with a very good personality.
The person who spoke to Lao Lu was a manager surnamed Chen of 'Nanyu', and he emphasized on the phone that Mr. Qiao personally instructed that he must receive this distinguished guest. As an old Jianghu, Lao Lu Chai also knew that this Mr. Xia must have a special identity. As for how high the status is, I don't know.
At this time, he sincerely hoped that Mr. Xia could facilitate this tea mountain deal.
First, this will get a good remuneration, and secondly, after staying in this industry for a long time, I hope to do something meaningful for the industry. Right now, if you can buy and sell successfully, you can also count yourself as a merit.
Lao Lu was full of thoughts, and Fusu listened very carefully to the introduction of the old man, and politely declined the proposal of the second elder to accompany him to see the tea mountain.
"Little tree, come and bring this, don't be thirsty. Mrs. Cha took a few bamboo tubes, and the tubes were filled with tea.
Lao Lu hurriedly took the bamboo tube, took the old man in response, and led Fusu out of the courtyard and walked towards the tea mountain.
It was not yet the season for tea picking, and there were no tea farmers hired on weekdays, so the huge tea mountain was empty at this time.
Halfway up the mountain, Fusu has found many diseased trees and old trees. The old couple is old, and they are naturally unable to work, and it is normal for such a situation to occur. It's a pity that there are a few tea trees that are nearly 100 years old, and I am afraid that they will not be saved.
Fusu unconsciously felt sorry and frowned. Lao Lu, who was watching his face on the side, suddenly became apprehensive in his heart!
The tea mountain is indeed quite big, Fusu walked faster, and Lao Lu's slightly fat body gradually couldn't keep up, panting heavily.
Seeing this situation, Fusu asked Lao Lu to walk slowly, and he took the first step to the top of the mountain to see the shape of the entire tea mountain. And told Lao Lu to find a place to hide within half an hour, there will be a rain.
Lao Lu looked dazed and looked at the scorching sun blankly. Is this like a rainy day?
Although he muttered like this, the subconscious instinct of his body allowed Lao Lu to avoid a sudden heavy rain.
Yo ho, it's a god! Half an hour is half an hour, that's amazing!
Lao Lu hid under the simple grass hut, watching the rain and muttering about the magical prophetic ability of that somewhat 'special' young man.
And the prophet himself, standing in the pavilion at the top of the mountain, looked around with his hands behind his back in comfort.
The hot air and heavy rain splashed the water vapor in the Yinyun, and the tea mountain in the rain was hazy and picturesque, like fog and clouds, so beautiful that he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Just as he was intoxicated by this beautiful scenery, a water-colored figure ran in the direction of the pavilion in a small tall bamboo forest next to the low tea tree.
It was a girl in a light lake blue dress, as if she was running towards him with something in her arms.
The rain came suddenly, and the momentum was fierce, the girl's hair was all wet, and although she rushed to the gazebo at the first time, it was obvious that she did not succeed in avoiding the baptism of this rainstorm.
She rushed into the gazebo, grabbed her half-length black hair and stroked it, wiped the rain from her face, and stared at Fusu strangely with her already big eyes, "What a heavy rain!"
Her voice was clear but not sharp, gentle, as if talking to herself.
"It suddenly started raining, which scared me, but luckily it didn't get wet. When the girl ran over, she was holding something in her arms, and only then did she see that it was a picture book. She carefully examined the picture book to make sure that it was not raining too much, and the paintings on the inside pages were still intact, and her pink lips breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, hello. Grandpa Cha's friend?" The girl flashed her big eyes, her eyes were clean, and she looked at him as if she had seen something interesting or cute, kind and curious.
Fusu didn't know if it was because the sound of the rain was too loud or if his ears had the tinnitus that Qiao Ziye said, a slight dizziness, the girl's lips moved slowly, but he couldn't hear her voice clearly, just like that afternoon more than two thousand years ago. The humming sound, like listening to the call of the shore in the water, came from the distant horizon, from hazy and unclear to gradually clear.
Vertigo, a wonderful feeling of vertigo.
Every frame in front of me seems to be stretched out by time, like the slow motion of a movie.
He saw the water in her big round eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, like butterfly wings, ready to bring a breeze to him, and the corners of her lips slowly raised, outlining a beautiful arc, she smiled and looked at him.
The rain outside the gazebo poured down. The people in the pavilion looked at each other.
Time seemed to stand still.
This dizziness did not end until the girl put her hand in front of him and kept swinging.
"Hey, hello. You, are you alright!" She held out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, oh my God, was he scared stupid?
"Hey. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. The dizziness gradually faded, and Fusu seemed to have just experienced a wandering of thoughts, and Duan Duan came back to his senses.
"It's okay. It's okay. Oh, by the way, are you a friend of Grandpa Cha?" the girl asked, gesturing to the bamboo tube in his hand.
"Well, count, right. "Fusu didn't know if he was a friend of the old man.
"You're in the mountains for the first time, aren't you? It's raining in the mountains like this, and it can suddenly rain a lot. It's kind of scary, isn't it. Hahaha..."The girl mistakenly thought that his stupidity was caused by the sudden rainstorm, and seemed to think that she was too honest in saying this, and tried to hide her embarrassment with a simple laugh.
"You don't know, I once encountered hail in the mountains, wow, that hail was the size of an egg, and it hit me all over the head. He rubbed his head as he spoke, as if it had just happened.
"Are you here to see the tea mountain? Grandpa said that someone will come to see the tea mountain today, is that you?" the girl spoke at an unhurried pace, sounding very comfortable.
"Ah, oh, yes. That's me. Fusu told him honestly.
"Are you planning to buy Grandpa's Chashan?" the girl's expression began to become serious, showing some concern.
"Perhaps. Fusu didn't know what she was worried about, but he sensed that the issue was important to the girl.
Fusu replied noncommittally, and the girl Xu realized that she had obviously talked too much to a stranger, and the other party was like gold. With this realization, she turned around and looked silently at the rain curtain outside the pavilion.
At this time, Fusu was still confused, and he didn't understand what the dizziness he had just now. For 2,000 years, there has never been such a wonderful feeling. Is there anything different here?
Thinking of this, the invisible spiritual power around his body spread out and gently brushed over every plant, tree, flower and tree in the tea mountain. After searching, I didn't notice anything different.
What about the girl? Could it be that she is different?
No, it's just an ordinary mortal.
It's just that the subtle thing is that since the girl ran into the gazebo, the first time he saw her, he felt a strange aura, and he tried hard and carefully to understand the feeling in his heart. Trying to figure out what's wrong with you?
There was silence, and the rain outside the pavilion gradually weakened, and finally only some droplets of water fell from the sky.
After the rain cleans, the sky looks clearer and more transparent.
It is said that the rainbow and the rain are the best match, why haven't I seen the rainbow after the rain? The girl stared at the sky in the distance, thinking to herself.
The rain that has fallen behind is still dripping sporadically, and a shocking, unexpected, and strange scene has appeared!
Some neon-like clouds flowed quickly in the middle of the air, falling into a depression in a distant mountain stream. In the middle of that falling cloud, one, two, three or four, five, six, seven, eight, countless colorful rays appeared.
That's a rainbow that spans half the sky, it's so dazzling!
Red, gold, blue, green, purple, indigo... All the indescribable colors jumped out of the clouds and fell to the side of the mountain stream in one go, forming a huge rainbow in the shape of a semicircle.
It's a rare spectacle, so beautiful that you can't take your breath.
"Wow!!!" The girl opened her hands as if to hold the beauty, she inhaled hard, and spit out vigorously after a while, very slowly as if she was sighing, "Okay... Beauty... Ahh
"Look, what a beautiful rainbow!" the girl turned her head to look at Fusu with a bright smile.
"I've never seen such a beautiful rainbow when I've grown up. Really, really, really, really beautiful!" the girl ran out of the pavilion with joy, waving her hands like a child.
Fusu silently raised the corners of his mouth at the girl's figure, he was glad to see her so happy.
Yes. It's beautiful.
The rainbow is beautiful.
And this smile is even more beautiful.
