Chapter 25: Showdown (Thanks to book friend Chen Xiaoshu for his reward)
Coulson ignored Ling Xiao's nonsense, looked straight at him, and said straightforwardly: "Since you know who I am, then you must also know the purpose of my coming here." ”
Ling Xiao sighed slightly, to be honest, the only person he admired in the entire Marvel world was Phil Coulson, who supported and rebuilt a new S.H.I.E.L.D. after the disintegration of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This is also the second time that he has been in this world for more than 20 years, and he has seen a famous person with a surname, and he will inevitably lose his mind at first sight.
Ling Xiao waved his hand at Gan Jing, signaling that he didn't have to worry, and then stretched out his hand and said to Coulson: "Agent Coulson, please come here!" ”
After speaking, Ling Xiao took the lead and walked to the tea seat in the corner of the window, and said to Coulson, "Please take a seat, Agent Coulson." ”
Seeing that Ling Xiao finally stopped pretending, Coulson smiled lightly, walked to the tea room, and sat down face to face with Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao stretched out his hand to light the small stove, picked up a wet towel and wiped his hands gently, after cleaning his hands, he took the Yixing purple clay pot that he picked up from an old man's house, put the teapot and teacup into the water, and then put it on the stove, boiled and disinfected it, and preheated the tea set at the same time.
Drain all the water and reheat the pot of water. Place the preheated purple clay pot in front of you and take out a small packet of tea leaves from the jar on the side.
This is the Huangshan Maofeng transported from China by Lingxiao Tuo, put the tea leaves into the teapot, and then pour boiling water to let the water and the tea leaves come into contact properly, and then quickly pour them out. The purpose of this is to remove the unclean substances on the surface of the tea leaves, and to filter out the tea leaves that have not been fried.
Pour the boiling water into the pot again, and the spout "nods" three times during the pouring process, don't fill the pot at one time, this is the so-called "phoenix three nods" in the tea, which is to show respect to the guests.
After doing all this, Ling Xiao raised his head and looked at Coulson, nodded slightly, and then lowered his head again and got busy.
Generally speaking, the water poured into the teapot should be higher than the spout, and then the tea powder should be brushed off with the lid of the teapot to remove the tea leaves floating on it, so as to drink only the tea and not let the tea leaves floating on it enter the mouth. Close the lid of the teapot to preserve the aroma of the tea leaves brewed in the teapot.
Take out two cups with a tea clip and put them in the tray, gently pour the tea soup in the pot into the cup, the water is full of seven points, and after doing all this, Ling Xiao put a teacup in front of Coulson with both hands, and said softly: "Please!" ”
This is the first word Ling Xiao said in the past half a day. Coulson had also been exposed to the tea ceremony before, and he was very patient, holding the teacup and sniffing the aftertaste of the fragrant cup, and said with feeling: "The tea is good!" ”
"Thanks for the compliment!" Ling Xiao smiled lightly, he did so much for the purpose, in fact, it was just meditation, to be honest, he didn't know what to say in the face of Coulson, and he was just sorting out an order a little bit for such a short period of time,
Taking a sip gently, Ling Xiao put down the teacup, looked at Coulson and said, "Agent Coulson, in this way, it should be you who accompanied Mr. Bruce Banner to me that day?" ”
"You're aware of my surveillance." Coulson smiled lightly and responded without hesitation: "That's right, it was indeed me and a colleague of mine who were watching outside that day." ”
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, smelled the soft fragrance of tea, and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, Agent Coulson, I don't know much about the purpose of your visit this time, whether you came just to see me, or if you have another purpose, it doesn't mean much to me." I know your name because an elder once mentioned you in front of me, and she said that you are the only upright and trustworthy person in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Ling Xiao didn't mention the name of that one, which he did on purpose, but even if he didn't say it, he believed Coulson could guess who it was.
Sure enough, hearing Ling Xiao say this, Coulson raised his eyebrows, and he said with a little embarrassment: "That lady has won some awards." ”
Shaking his head slightly, Coulson looked at Ling Xiao and said, "I came here this time, I just wanted to take a look at you and make contact with you a little." But hearing you say that, I'd like to ask if you're interested in joining S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Sure enough, Coulson's attribute of wanting to pull people into S.H.I.E.L.D. has always existed. Ling Xiao smiled lightly, refilled himself and Coulson with another cup of tea, and then said lightly: "Agent Coulson, I don't think you heard what I just said clearly, that elder said that you are the only honest and trustworthy person in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. I think the only time you understood it. ”
"Huh?" Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Coulson's brows couldn't help frowning, the look on his face slowly turned cold, and he looked at Ling Xiao and said a little unceremoniously: "That's what you mean by this?" ”
It was clear that Coulson was now a little skeptical that the lady had said that.
"It's not interesting!" Ling Xiao smiled lightly, it was rare to see Coulson's appearance, he rubbed the edge of the teacup in his hand, and said in a low voice: "That is, literally, I think with your level, Agent Coulson, you should have the permission to see how much the probability of "accidents" among S.H.I.E.L.D. agents has changed compared to before in recent years." ”
"Huh?" Coulson looked at Ling Xiao, he didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, just when he wanted to continue to ask the truth, the door of the pharmacy was suddenly opened again, and a young Japanese man in a golden white suit walked in from outside.
Don't ask Ling Xiao how he found out that the other party is Japanese, Japanese people are born to walk differently from others, and this person Ling Xiao knows, he is Jiro Shishida who fought with Ling Xiao a few days ago, seeing the appearance of Yashida, Ling Xiao was a little surprised, the other party came over so quickly, and it was directly called the door, what did he want to do.
Because Ling Xiao and Coulson were sitting in the corner, Jiro Shida might not have noticed it, and after he entered the pharmacy, he walked directly to the counter.
Looking at the beautiful woman with a unique flavor in front of him, the green light flashed in his eyes, he stroked the hem of his suit, and said softly: "Hello, I want a pair of Chinese medicine for treating colds, can you please help me grab a pair?" ”
Shishida Jiro's gaze made Gan Jing feel a little uncomfortable, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Can you describe the patient's condition in detail, so as not to get the wrong symptoms and take the wrong medicine." ”
Hearing Gan Jing say this, Shishida Jiro couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he just made an excuse to come and take a look, but he didn't expect this person to be so serious.
"A cold is nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, head swelling, fatigue, and feeling unwell." Although Jiro Tashida found a few cold symptoms in his memory and said them, of course, he didn't know the difference between the five types of Shixing cold and the summer damp cold, the cold and fire cold, the wind-heat cold, and the wind-cold cold.
The Chinese patent medicine used for colds with different symptoms is also different, and Gan Jing was about to ask again, at this time, a hand reached out from the side, held Gan Jing's left hand, and stopped what she was about to say. Gan Jing saw that it was Ling Xiao coming over, moved in slightly, and gave up his position.
Shishida Jiro looked at Ling Xiao who suddenly appeared, and then looked back at Coulson, who was sitting in the tea room looking like he was watching a good show, and his brows furrowed slightly.
The purpose of his coming this time was to confirm whether Ling Xiao was the person he fought with that night, at least Tajiro Shida could confirm that Ling Xiao's figure was about the same size as the person that night. But who is that guy over there who looks like a federal agent?
Ling Xiao looked at Shida Jiro, who was standing in front of him without saying a word, smiled and said softly: "I'm sorry, we don't sell the medicinal herbs here to any Japanese, and we will never provide you with any service." ”
