Chapter 244: Warm Harbor
Walking into Haixin Tea Art, the waiters all knew Li Yuanlong, and took the initiative to come forward to say hello, "Hello Mr. Li." ”
Li Yuenlong smiled and asked, "Is your boss here?" ”
"She's only been back for a short time, she's upstairs in her room, do you need me to tell you something?"
"Thanks, I'll find it myself." Immediately, Li Yuanlang went upstairs and walked to the room, far away, he heard the sound of Zheng Haixin playing the guzheng, which was tactful and long, and lasted for a long time.
Li Yuenlang didn't knock on the door, and gently pushed it open, only to see Zheng Haixin closing his eyes, engrossed in the music played by the strings.
He crept to a place a few steps away from Zheng Haixin and stood still, his hands crossed together on his lower abdomen, listening carefully to the sound of heaven.
Zheng Haixin was still wearing white gauze plain clothes, and her back looked like a fairy who did not eat the mortal world, which reminded Li Yuanlang of the scene when he saw her for the first time.
Li Yuanlang slowly closed his eyes, listened to the music with his ears, and suddenly entered the artistic conception of the mountain water and the gurgling stream in his mind with the rhythm of the tune, and he couldn't extricate himself.
After a while, as the music came to an abrupt end, Zheng Haixin's slender fingertips held the strings flat, making a crisp sound, but she heard her say to herself: "I haven't touched it for a long time, and I'm a little rusty when I play it." ”
"Good, very good, I almost fell asleep again." Li Yuanlang couldn't help but respond.
"Yes, but I feel that I play very poorly, lacking the original charm, and there is a slight pause when playing to the stream water, or because of the lack of piano skills." Zheng Haixin had already noticed that Li Yuanlang was standing behind her, so she was not surprised by Li Yuanlang's appearance.
"Your part is a little distracted, not a pause, I feel that the sound of the water is not murmuring, but the waves are rolling, and there is the majestic momentum of the sea." Li Yuanlang has listened to her play the piano for a long time, and he can understand the mystery of the guzheng to some extent.
"I found that you know more and more about the guzheng, otherwise I would have absorbed you as my student, and it would have saved you from always listening to other people's playing."
"I can't, I was born without musical cells, and my singing is always out of tune." Li Yuenlong explained: "I didn't eavesdrop, I wanted to knock on the door when I came in, but I was suddenly moved by your beautiful piano sound, and I couldn't help but come in." ”
"Poor mouth." Zheng Haixin stood up, politely let Li Yuanlang sit on the tea table, and personally mixed the tea. Drinking green tea in summer can lower fat and lose weight, and it can also play a role in reducing fire.
This is the first time that Li Yuenlong has enjoyed the treatment of Zheng Haixin making tea for him alone. Zheng Haixin first poured boiling spring water into the empty bowl, put the teacup into the empty bowl, clamped the teacup with a tea clip, and rotated it in the bowl. Then pour the water from the empty bowl into the gaiwan, shake it a few times, pour it into the fair cup and shake it a few times, and finally pour it out.
This is the first step in washing the cup, and the next step is to make tea.
Zheng Haixin put tea leaves in the gaiwan, poured boiling water into the gaiwan, shook the gaiwan several times, and quickly poured the water into the fair cup. Then pour the tea from the fair cup into the empty bowl, put the teacup into the empty bowl, and wash it again. Pour boiling water again, use the lid to remove the foam, cover the lid, leave it for about ten seconds, put it in a fair cup, and then use a fair cup to divide the tea.
In the end, Zheng Haixin poured tea for Li Yuenlong first, and then poured tea for himself. After Li Yuen Long tasted it, Zheng Haixin took a sip of tea and asked, "How does it taste?" ”
"Tea beauties are more beautiful." Li Yuanlang took a sip and said half-jokingly.
"Come less, where am I beautiful, I will definitely not be as good as your water lady."
"Each is different. Haixin, I always feel very relaxed in front of you, whether I listen to the piano or drink tea, I just sleep here, I feel no pressure, the whole person is refreshed and quite energetic. Li Yuanlang took a sip of the teacup, and the fragrant and hot tea entered his throat, which had a different feeling and taste.
"I believe it." Zheng Haixin smiled very conceitedly: "You are studying here, if you want to relax, you can come, I am always welcome." ”
"You still have a base in Shuiming Township, I'm afraid that I will eat until I come to the closed door."
"I don't often go to the base, but I've arranged for my right-hand man to do it, and something will call me. I'll be here a little bit more during this time. I will do my best to prepare for the exam, and I will apply for Professor Lu's graduate school in the second half of the year. Zheng Haixin poured another cup of tea for Li Yuanlang and said softly.
"In that case, I'll come to beg for mercy often, if you don't feel annoyed." Tasting the fragrant tea, Li Yuanlang was invited by Zheng Haixin, lying on the bed, and she played him a song "Mountains and Flowing Water", accompanied by a graceful tune, Li Yuanlang fell asleep sweetly......
The small courtyard of the farmhouse that Huang Liwei found was very distinctive, a large tiled house, with a wooden antique cloister built on the side of the courtyard and two tables.
The owner and chef is surnamed Chen, and he is an old man in his seventies. After working in the City Hall for nearly 40 years in his early years, Master Chen returned to his hometown of Quang Nam after retirement.
One of the characteristics of his family is that most of the ingredients are self-produced vegetables in the garden behind his house, chicken, fish, meat and eggs are also purchased from nearby farmers, and green organic food accounts for the vast majority.
There is also his superb cooking skills, after all, it was once a state banquet level, and even the taste of home-cooked meals is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
There is only one table, which must be booked in advance, and it depends on how Chef Chen is in a mood and whether he has the energy to serve.
It can be seen that Huang Liwei is very familiar with Master Chen and his wife, they call Huang Liwei "Little Huang" one by one, and Huang Liwei respectfully calls the old couple Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, and they chatted very warmly.
While Huang Liwei and the old Chen family were talking, Li Yuanlang took a pot of tea and poured it for Shen Zhizhi, and poured half a cup himself.
"I know, you really helped my brother a while ago in Shuiming Township, I will toast you with water instead of wine." The reason why Li Yuanlang drank tea and respected Shen knew was that he didn't want to mention this topic at the wine table.
Shen knew that he was disgusted with mixing things in the officialdom on the wine table, and Li Yuanlang respected his habits, so he took advantage of the tea to make his words clear, and the meaning was clear.
"Brother, you're too polite." Shen Zhizhi took a sip of hot tea and said, "Actually, I did that to admire you." Over the years, I have come into contact with many officials, but there are very few who are as sincere as you are to do things for the people and be selfless and wholehearted. Brother, I'm convinced from the bottom of my heart, really. In the past, Chang Ming always mentioned in my ear how good you are, and my ears were calloused, thinking that he was exaggerating. Now it seems that Chang Ming is right. Brother, I will also toast you with tea instead of wine, if nothing else, just for your personality and character. ”
"Let's be each other, your brother is also commendable in the face of right and wrong, you have also poured sweat into this road in Shuiming Township, getting up early and staying on the construction site day and night, brother, you are a lot thinner than before."
"Let's not praise each other, I'm still far behind your brother."
The teacups of the two collided again, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Of course, as for the topic of work, especially Shen Zheng, Shen knew that he didn't mention a word, the content was not painful, and it didn't matter.
Li Yuenlong had already introduced Huang Liwei to Shen Zhizhi, and when Huang Liwei came back, he asked Shen Zhiwei what kind of dishes he liked to eat, as long as it was not complicated, Master Chen could do it.
The old master was so old that it would be difficult for him to make a beautiful dish at a state banquet. But simple home cooking is still no problem.
Shen Zhizhi put the menu aside and said, "The three of us can get it casually, you can watch it, I don't have a special taboo, as long as you don't put coriander." ”
"Okay, I'll tell Master Chen to do it, and you can talk first."
In just the time of two cigarettes, Master Chen very quickly asked his wife to bring six dishes and one soup.
Not to mention, just by smelling the aroma of the dishes, Li Yuenlong could feel that Chef Chen's cooking skills were very exquisite.
Su Fangwan's cooking is delicious, but compared to Master Chen, it can't be compared, not an order of magnitude, much worse.
"Got it, have a white bar?" Huang Liwei's own Feitian Moutai was produced in the 80s, and a bottle on the market is worth more than 30,000 yuan.
It can be seen that in order to get acquainted with Shen Zhixiao, Huang Liwei contributed all the treasures at the bottom of the box, Moutai, and his intentions can not be described as insincere.
"This wine is rare, more than thirty years and almost forty years, Deputy County Magistrate Huang, you are really willing to spend your blood." Shen knew that the amount of alcohol was not too large, so-so. Moutai buys and drinks less, but when he encounters this kind of old wine that is older than him, he naturally wants to taste it.
Wine goes well with food, and wine is the best bridge for communication, Shen knew that after three glasses of white wine, he opened the conversation, first of all, he destroyed his previous reserve, and talked about the topic of the official.
"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I understand what you mean, you want me to help you say good things for you in front of my Lao Tzu, it's no problem, the key is ......" Shen Zhixiao burped, and his face became whiter the more he drank. Li Yuanlang understood him, and Shen knew that his face was pale when he drank too much, like a blank piece of paper.
He drank like this, it was a normal reaction.
Shen Zhi paused, shook his fingers and said, "The key is that you are Shui Qingzhang's person, and it is difficult to change this." But seeing your sincerity, I'll go back and try, but don't have big hopes. ”
When Huang Liwei heard this, his eyes were slightly dim. Shen knew that he must have learned this information from his father, that is to say, it is difficult for him to get rid of the water system label in his life.
Li Yuanlang saw it in his eyes and took it to heart, and said peacefully: "I know, you can help Brother Huang say a few more kind words, and I will take Brother Huang to thank you." As he spoke, he touched his wine glass with Shen Zhizhi, and the two of them drank dry.
Shen Zhizhi wiped his mouth, his tongue was slightly bigger, "I'll do my best to save your face, brother." Suddenly, he changed his words, but he talked about Li Yuenlong.
"Brother, hehe, you don't know, I know something about you, do you want to hear it?"
Of course I thought about it, Li Yuanlang kept muttering in his heart, what arrangement did Shen Zheng make for him? I hope that Shen Xiao can give a definite answer while he is drunk.
