Chapter 11: Preparation

"I forgot to tell you." Lin Ping took a sip intoxicated: "This time the remuneration is 2 million, according to the rules, you get a commission of 20, which is 400,000." ”

"Boy, Zhang Qingshan is my friend anyway, you are so black? 2 million? Xu Jie smacked his lips.

After drinking tea, Lin Ping picked up the rice bowl next to him: "Don't you know where my money is spent, more than two million?" ”

Xu Jie nodded: "It's really not much, but I can't ask for this 400,000, I can take 100,000 yuan, and I'm afraid I can't afford it at my age." ”

"You can stay for the elderly." Lin Ping held the vinegar carp on the plate.

"It's better for you to keep and marry your daughter-in-law." Xu Jie placed the teapot on a nearby stove filled with warm water, with a layer of cloth underneath.

"I can't spend that much on marrying a daughter-in-law."

"I have enough money for retirement."

"Poof, you two are so much fun." Zhang Xiaoxi woke up and heard the two arguing, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Xu is good." ”

"The girl is awake, come on, come on, try Uncle Xu's tea, and see if the craftsmanship has risen."

Xu Jie couldn't wait to promote his tea.

Xu Jie gently held the double-eared single-top pot, scalded the cup that was still left to be drunk by boiling water, gently poured a small cup and shook it, poured it on the water inlet of the tea pot, and waited for the water traces on the wooden cup to dry slightly, then poured half a cup, and pushed it in front of Zhang Xiaoxi with the back of his fingers.

Zhang Xiaoxi carefully stretched out her hands to pick up the delicately carved wooden cup, looked at the red tea in the cup, put it under her nose and smelled it.

"Uncle Xu, this is a good tea, pure Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, this fragrance is refreshing, the tea is fragrant but not greasy, less fireworks and more wilderness flavor." Zhang Yunxi took a sip and kept nodding: "The taste is mellow, and the lubrication is sweet with a slight floral fragrance." Such a good tea is also thanks to Uncle Xu, if others are afraid that they will not be able to brew this taste. ”

Hearing Zhang Xiaoxi's praise, Xu Jie laughed happily, and couldn't help but refill another cup for her and Lin Ping.

"Boy, don't patronize the meal, drink two more glasses, drink two more glasses."

Lin Ping ate quickly, and when the two of them were talking, most of the dishes on the table had been swept away. Lin Ping wiped the oil on his mouth, took the teacup and poured it into his mouth, and spit it into the cup on the side.

The angry Xu Jie slapped his thigh and pointed at Lin Ping distressedly.

"You're really a tyrannical thing, I've ruined this pot of good tea for you, come and try it."

Xu Jie poured another cup for Lin Ping and pushed it over. Lin Ping looked at Xu Jie and smiled, took the cup and put it in his nose and sniffed it gently.

"I said Lao Xu, your skill in making tea is enough, but this skill in selecting water is still lacking in shortcomings."

That's what I'm waiting for.

In terms of the kung fu of making tea, Xu Jie thinks that no one in the circle is his opponent, but if you want to choose water, it is a piece of Xu Jie's heart. If there is no good water for good tea, no matter how good the tea leaves and tea utensils are, the taste will always be worse and lack a charm.

Therefore, every time he got good tea, Xu Jie would find the corresponding tea set and water, and let Lin Ping taste it first to see if there were any shortcomings to make up.

Although Lin Ping habitually wasted tea, it was not worth mentioning compared to the few words in Lin Ping's mouth.

"This water is the water in an old well I chose, and it is also the layer at the bottom of the well, natural and pure taste without impurities, I also looked at the water source, it is all underground water, why is it not good?" Xu Jie's tone was quite excited, and he deliberately teased Lin Ping's words.

Lin Ping drank the tea and smacked it in his mouth, the taste was sweet and mellow, and the spring water left a faint fragrance lingering between his teeth and cheeks, and put the cup in front of Xu Jie.

"That well in the east of the city, right? It's polluted, you try it with the water of Lao Jin's house in the west of the city. ”

"Contaminated? No, I've checked the water source, and there is not even a factory within a radius of 500 meters. You said that the well of Lao Jin's house, many businesses around, and the domestic sewage is discharged on the spot, is the water not bad? For Lin Ping's words, Xu Jie believed it, but seeing is believing, after all, he has been inspecting for several days.

Lin Ping yawned, looked at the sunlight coming in through the window, and squinted his eyes: "It's past eleven o'clock, right?" ”

"Well, it's half past eleven." Zhang Xiaoxi looked at the huge old-fashioned wall clock on the wall and nodded.

"Lao Xu, you brought something." Lin Ping got up and looked at Xu Jie's side.

"I brought it, I heard that you were also there, so I didn't let them move."

Xu Jie took a quaint green wood box and a water bottle wrapped in black cloth from the sofa behind him.

When the Aoki box was opened, a faint floral fragrance suddenly spread. In the box, there are five plants that are no more than half a finger long, no flowers and no buds, only rhizomes, saying that grass is not grass, saying that flowers are not like flowers, these five blue plants are exactly what Lin Ping said about orchid grass.

The water bottle wrapped in a black cloth next to it was not opened.

Xu Jie said to Lin Ping: "This bottle of water is the well water used to make tea, just to boil medicine." ”

"Then you eat first, and I'll do the work." Lin Ping closed the box and hugged it in his arms, picked up the water bottle and walked to the kitchen.

"What do you need, sir?" The servant waiting at the door stepped forward and asked.
