Chapter 4: The Fantastic Boss
Lou Qingyue's curiosity at this time had reached the limit of human beings, and he had never been so excited, because for anyone who came to such a place, he would be curious, and he wanted to see what the owner of this house looked like!
Ping'er took Lou Qingyue and Xu Manlu from the front hall into a courtyard, the yard was very large, like a garden, and there was a big lotus pond in the garden, which was full of lotus flowers. There is a strange corridor pavilion on the lotus pond Walking up to the corridor pavilion, at a glance, let Lou Qingyue like a spring breeze: occasionally a few egrets fly up and down in the lotus pond with blue waves, the breeze passes through, the layers of blue waves from far and near to far away, with the direction of the eyes are a few hills, a few white cranes flying on the top of the mountain.
Walking through the corridor pavilion, what catches your eye is a patchwork of rockeries, strange shapes.
"These rockeries look really strange, I don't know who built them?" Lou Qingyue asked in surprise.
Xu Manlu and Ping'er both laughed.
"What are you laughing at? Could it be that I said something wrong?" Lou Qingyue asked puzzled.
"Brother Lou, these are real mountains, they are all naturally formed!"
"That's amazing, nature is really magical!"
"Of course, nothing of ours is fake, it's all true!" Xu Manlu's words seemed to have another meaning.
Lou Qingyue didn't say anything when she heard this, but just smiled.
Walking further, the field of vision suddenly widened, and it was very wide!
"It's a cliff! It's really weird!" Lou Qingyue was once again stunned by the scene in front of her!
I saw that on the left hand side is a strange-shaped stone door, at a glance I know that there are people living inside, and on the right hand side is a cliff, straight, as if a mountain was suddenly split in half by a knife, this half is still there, and the other half is gone. In the distance is a large river that meanders, and at the end of the river are several hills, verdant. Holding up the whole river is a prairie, and at this time, the grass is green and vigorous.
Several divine beasts suddenly flew through the sky, and they took a closer look-"Oh my God, isn't this a dragon? Dragons are just legends, how can there really be here!" Lou Qingyue couldn't believe his eyes, but he had to believe it, because he had indeed seen it with his own eyes.
"Of course, there are not only dragons, green dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, Xuanwu, and unicorns here, and I will show you in the future. Xu Manlu felt very relieved.
"It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance!" Lou Qingyue couldn't help but chant poetry when she saw such a scene.
"This is not the end yet, I will take you up later, and you will recite this poem then. Xu Manlu said with a smile.
Walking further, she came to a pavilion, and Ping'er stopped: "Please!"
After Ping'er beckoned Xu Manlu and Lou Qingyue to sit down, she went to call the master. So Lou Qingyue asked Xu Manlu: "Who is the owner of this family, it looks richer than my family!"
Xu Manlu said with a smile: "In this world, is it only allowed that your family is rich, and others should be poor?"
Thinking that Lou Qingyue is the second son of the richest family in Jinguancheng, even though he has been well-informed since he was a child, he has never seen a rich and prosperous place here, hearing Xu Manlu say this, he was a little embarrassed, thinking that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, and he is shallow, but he said such a joke for no reason.
When I was in a trance, I suddenly heard a voice say: "I haven't been able to welcome you from afar, I am disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lou Qingyue looked at the voice, and saw a chubby, fleshy man walked over, and when the person walked into the pavilion, he waved his hands and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I dealt with a little thing, I didn't meet it far away, and I ask for forgiveness......"
"Brother Chen, you have a lot of affairs, and you are still bothering, I should apologize to you!" Xu Manlu said with her hands together.
Lou Qingyue couldn't help but be surprised when she looked at this person, this person's face was very familiar!
"Second son Lou, I don't know if you still remember my brother?" Lou Qingyue grew old: I saw that this person had a very round and big head, slender ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a fat face, a very short neck, almost nothing, a big belly, and a smile.
Is this simply Maitreya Buddha? Lou Qingyue thought to herself.
"Brother is very familiar with each other, but I really can't remember it, and I hope to forgive my sins!"
"Hahaha, you might as well do it, how can a young genius like you who hasn't seen you for many years remember me stupidly fat?" the Maitreya Buddha laughed.
"What, you are the stupid fat man of the Chen family!" Lou Qingyue was suddenly stunned, the magical character he had been looking forward to for a long time turned out to be the stupid fat man of the Chen family!
"Brother Lou, you are all adults, why are you still called that!Besides, Brother Chen is now the chief manager here!" As he spoke, he gently nudged Lou Qingyue.
"Yes, yes, Brother Chen, I'm really sorry, this is too sudden, ...... for a while" Speaking of this, Lou Qingyue paused and continued: "Little brother was stubborn when he was young, and he was offended, I hope Brother Chen will forgive ......me," he said, apologizing with both hands.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not sensible when I'm young, and I blame my skills for being inferior, haha...... It's all gone, and you don't have to take it to heart. Come and sit down, serve tea ......" The little fat brother laughed like Maitreya Buddha descended to earth.
Speaking of this little fat brother, he is also very legendary. He is the eldest of the Chen family, one of the four major families in Jinguancheng, named Chen Xiude, Lou Qingyue is three years old, and he is a childhood friend, but this Lou Qingyue has been more naughty and naughty since he was a child, and often names others. So every time he sees Chen Xiude, he calls him a stupid fat man, and this Chen Xiude hates others to call him that, so he often fights, Lou Qingyue is a young genius, so Chen Xiude is his opponent, he is often beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
The four major families of Jinguancheng seem to be harmonious on the surface, but they secretly compete with each other, and they continue to fight openly and secretly. The Chen family naturally found Lou Qingyue's father every time to ask for an explanation, of course, not only the Chen family, but also the Li family, the Wang family, the Xie family, the Liu family, and so on. Lou Qingyue's father is often angry and gnashes his teeth, so Lou Qingyue is often punished.
When I saw it today, this Chen Xiude not only did not sin against Lou Qingyue, but was very kind, and he did not have the hideous face of the past, he looked very kind, but he was still fat.
Lou Qingyue is also strange, didn't this little fat brother go on a study tour a few years ago? How could he be here and become the general manager here!
This Chen Xiude is actually not stupid, he is very smart, but he is very fat, but because he has been at odds with Lou Qingyue since he was a child, he often fights wits and courage, but he is quite stupid in front of Lou Qingyue, not only him, but also other people, this young genius is too good, so in comparison, others are very stupid.
Seeing Lou Qingyue's appearance, Chen Xiude guessed his thoughts at a glance, so he didn't hurry and said: "Brother Lou must want to know what happened, why Miss Man and I are here, how did we get here......?"
This Chen Xiude was really not in a hurry, he picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the unique black tea of Cangnan Jinxiu.
As they spoke, Ping'er and the other two maids boiled the tea and placed it in front of the three of them.
Lou Qingyue and Xu Manlu also picked up the tea bowl and drank it at the same time. As soon as the tea was entered, Lou Qingyue felt that the taste was very special, he had never drunk tea with this taste, and when he opened the tea lid, he saw that it was red!
"This tea is really strange, it is actually red! I have never seen tea of this color and taste in my life!" Lou Qingyue exclaimed.
"Brother Lou, this is unique to us, and we can't buy it anywhere else. Xu Manlu explained.
"Brother Lou, you are a genius, can you see how this tea is made?" Chen Xiude asked.
Lou Qingyue tasted it again, frowned and said, "The little brother is stupid, but he can't guess." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, hahahahaha......" The more Chen Xiude laughed, the more he looked like Maitreya Buddha.
He continued: "The name of this tea is Jinghong. ”
"Jinghong, these names are very strange!" Lou Qingyue said.
"Otherwise, he is unique, from the name to the picking, from the production to the storage, everything is peculiar...... he looked at Lou Qingyue and continued: "When this tea is picked, it must be picked by a woman who has not left the pavilion at the age of fifteen or sixteen......"
"Fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman who hasn't left the cabinet?......?
"Brother Lou, don't worry, listen to Brother Chen. Xu Manlu saw Lou Qingyue like an anxious monkey, so she signaled him not to steal words.
"It's okay, hahahahaha...... These fifteen or sixteen-year-old women who have not left the cabinet are virgins, and they first ensure that the raw materials of the tea are clean, and secondly, the fragrance of the virgin can make the smell of the tea more beautiful. The second is to ferment without fermentation, that is, let them ferment but not reach the degree of fermentation, which is very difficult, this process is not handled well, the tea is really fermented and will be bad, and can only be thrown away. This procedure is to remove his grass flavor and retain his fragrance......"
"It's amazing!
"Brother Lou, there is something even more amazing, you listen to Brother Chen. ”
"Ah...... Sorry sorry...... Hehe" His smile is really a little naughty, he is already extremely smart, coupled with a handsome face, this naughty really doesn't know how many girls will be fascinated to death! No wonder this first beauty in Jinguan City can cherish it so much.
Chen Xiude continued: "It takes high temperature to achieve without fermentation, but the heat is difficult to control, so this step has to be destroyed a lot, and the next step is storage, this step is more difficult, he needs to dry the air and maintain a moderate temperature, the difficulty is that it is more difficult to control this temperature! Let's talk about this tea, special materials are used to make tea......" Speaking of this, he took another sip of tea, looked at Lou Qingyue and asked, "Brother Lou saw that stone gate when he came up the mountain, right?"
"See, Man'er said it was a special stone from ancient times, - right?"
"That's right, it's a tea brewing tool made from that special material. Next is the tea boiling time, Brother Lou, guess how much time you can watch?"
"Generally, you can boil tea for half an hour, this material is special, I'm afraid it will take an hour!"
Chen Xiude shook his head and said, "It's going to be a month!"
"What! a month!" Lou Qingyue was completely stunned! He couldn't believe that it would take a month to make tea!
"That'...... That means the tea we're drinking now started boiling a month ago?"
"Yes, and to make good tea, water is a big problem!"
"In general, the best source of water is the dew on the petals, and the dew drops of the four seasons are different in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Lou Qingyue said.
"You're right, but that's a normal source of water. ”
"What! That's still ordinary? This kind of water source is very difficult to pick up!" Lou Qingyuedou's eyes widened.
"Compared with the water source of this tea, it is simply too easy! The water source of this tea must first be the dew on the lotus flower, as long as it is in May, and it should not be ...... in other months."
"No wonder there are so many lotus flowers here!" Lou Qingyue said.
"Yes, Brother Lou is really smart. But that's just one of them, there's another ingredient, and that's the hard stuff, and it's not the usual hard stuff!"
"What's so difficult?" Lou Qingyue's curiosity had already reached her throat.
"That is, the snow lotus dew on the nineteen peaks is needed. The Nineteen Peaks are very steep, and the snow is very thick, and it does not melt all year round, and the snow lotus is extremely cold, and it grows on the steepest cliffs, and it cannot reach the sky or the ground, how do you say to pick its dewdrops? Moreover, this snow lotus only blooms once in ten years! Therefore, this step is the most difficult. ”
"Then don't want that one ingredient, you can also make tea!" Lou Qingyue felt that it was incredible, how could it be so troublesome to drink tea.
"Brother Lou is right, but then it will lose the meaning of this tea, and it will be an ordinary tea, and it has no value!"
"Then let's drink some tea now, do we have the dew of the snow lotus?"
"Fortunately, the hard work pays off, and the foolish brother is also lucky, so I got this snow lotus dew a few years ago, when I was just in time for the flowering period, all the snow lotus on the nineteen peaks have bloomed, and I am also nine deaths!" Saying this, Chen Xiude glanced at Lou Qingyue, and then at Xu Manlu and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the rescue of our divine master's messenger, I'm afraid I would have buried my body in Xuefeng......"
"Thank you, messenger, thank you!" Chen Xiude and Xu Manlu said in unison.
Lou Qingyue was even more curious, who was this "voice messenger", and what magical power did he have?
Lou Qingyue picked up the teacup again and drank it, and did not swallow it immediately when she drank it into her mouth, but slowly tasted it and felt the magical tea.
"This tea should only be available in the sky, how many times does it have to be tasted in the world?" Lou Qingyue's excited heart couldn't help but burst into poetry, and blurted out.
"Good poetry! Brother Lou is worthy of being a high fight!" said Chen Xiude and gave a thumbs up.
"Where, where!" Lou Qingyue seemed a little proud.
Xu Manlu laughed secretly next to her.
"I've been talking about magical tea for so long, but I haven't told you a bizarre story yet?" Lou Qingyue listened to the story of the magical tea just now, and couldn't wait to know what happened to his beloved woman and his childhood "enemy" to come here.
"Brother Lou, you let Brother Chen rest for a while, he is tired after talking for a long time. Xu Manlu reminded Lou Qingyue that she was a little rude.
"Ah...... This one...... Ahaha......" Lou Qingyue laughed mischievously again.
"It's okay!"
"It's because I've heard a lot of magical stories in the past few days, and I'm very curious when I suddenly meet the deceased today. ”
"Brother Lou is right, everyone is curious, let alone you and me!" he laughed.
As the saying goes, a smile turns his childhood hatred into green smoke and goes away with the wind.
Yes, Chen Xiude used to hate Lou Qingyue, he hated why he always bullied him, and why he was always inferior to Lou Qingyue. He used to feel that this world is unfair, why does God give Lou Qingyue all the good: he has a handsome appearance, a smart mind, and a talent, and God makes him a young genius.
But God gave him all the bad things: his fat body, ugly appearance, martial arts and immortal methods were not as good as Lou Qingyue, and he was often bullied by him.
He really hated it then!
But many years have passed, and many years have passed, so let him pass.
Then Chen Xiude told a lot of stories about him and Xu Manlu, how they came here, how they met, what amazing things they have done together in the past few years, how amazing the organization of "Outer Heaven" is, how amazing the Outer God Lord is, how amazing the people in the organization are, and so on. Hearing this, Lou Qingyue was amazed, and her curiosity went to the next level.
"What do the people in the organization do every day, and what conditions do I need to join the organization?" Lou Qingyue asked curiously.
"You'll know this slowly, you're not qualified to join now, let Miss Man tell you slowly. Chen Xiude said.
"You can rest assured of this, with me, Brother Lou, what are you afraid of. Xu Manlu said confidently.
"I don't think it's too early, it's been so long to disturb Brother Chen, we should go back. Xu Manlu got up like Chen Xiude as she spoke.
So they said some more polite words of thanks to each other.
On the way back, Lou Qingyue thought to herself: Shibei three days, you should be impressed! I didn't expect this Chen Xiude to change so much now, and I didn't expect my Man'er to experience so much.
"Brother Lou, what are you thinking?"
"Man'er, you have suffered! I swear I will never leave you again, and I will take good care of you. ”
"Brother Lou, you must be counted when you speak, you are not allowed to leave me......" Xu Manlu actually left tears when she said this, Lou Qingyue had mixed feelings in her heart, her eyes were moist, and he hugged Xu Manlu tightly in his arms, for fear that she would lose it again.
"Okay, Brother Lou, as long as you can keep your promise, I will be your companion in this life. It's not early, I'll go back and make something to eat for you. ”
"Wow, I love what you do. ”
The joy of happiness made Lou Qingyue forget where she was in this life, thinking that this was her hometown.
This place of peace is my hometown!
Indeed, as long as Xu Manlu is here in Lou Qingyue at this time, this is his hometown, and as long as Xu Manlu is here, this is heaven.
But he was still curious about who the "messenger" was, and what kind of legend did he have?
If you want to know what will happen next, break it down next time!
