Chapter 18 Yuan Zinong
took the green train to the provincial capital, Xia Li sent Shiyi to the place where she lived, and she was very reluctant.
He didn't know when the next meeting would be after this separation, but in order not to make his girlfriend sad, he didn't dare to show it too obviously.
He has always believed that temporary separation is for a better reunion.
After bidding farewell to Shiyi, Xia Li came to the place where he used to work, and if you count the previous life, he had to stay here for more than thirty years.
Outside the door, there was a bustling crowd, some pushing bicycles, and some gathered in twos and threes to talk and laugh and walk out of the door.
This time he came here to find someone, because he didn't want to be recognized by other colleagues, so he hid in the shadows and waited for that person to come out.
Sure enough, as he expected, it was a while after work, and everyone was almost gone, and this person showed up belatedly.
He wears a pair of black-framed glasses, and everyone else changes into his own clothes after work and goes out for entertainment, and he is estimated to be the only one in the company who still wears unsightly work clothes after work.
Xia Li, who was squatting behind the big tree, saw that he finally came out, waved his hand, and called in a low voice: "Zinong, come here." ”
Xia Li saw that this guy didn't react at all, and continued to walk forward, his eyes staring at one place as if he was thinking about something.
"This guy is fugue again."
Xia Li couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to wait for him to get closer.
This person's name is Yuan Zinong, a roommate in the same dormitory as Xia Li, a typical scientific research fan, a workaholic, as long as he works, he can die without his life, and often spends hours in a daze for the results of an experiment.
In his previous life, he taught Xia Li the process of making white tea, according to him, this white tea process was passed down from his family's ancestors, and finally came out after his improvement.
Xia Li was waiting for him on his road after all, and when he saw him coming around the corner, he hurriedly went up and patted him.
Yuan Zinong, who woke up, looked displeased, but when he saw that it was Xia Li, who had not been seen for a long time, he was pleasantly surprised: "Xia Li? You're back! ”
Xia Li hurriedly motioned to him to make a smaller voice: "I came here to look for you alone this time." ”
This made him wonder: "Looking for me? ”
"Yes, brother asked you for a favor." Xia Li said.
Yuan Zinong lifted his glasses and said, "What's busy?" If you can help, you will definitely help. ”
I can't go back today so late, Xia Li can only sleep in the dormitory for one night, and when I go back tomorrow, he patted Zinong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's time for dinner, let's find a place to eat and chat." ”
Yuan Zinong said in a daze: "Then let's go to the house we often go to!" ”
Zinong is relatively withdrawn, and rarely has contact with people except for work in the company, if it weren't for the two living in a dormitory, Xia Li estimated that the two would never have known each other.
In the past, after work, the two would come to a small restaurant in front of the dormitory area to eat, and when they were depressed, they would drink a little wine.
After being full of wine and food, Xia Li took the tea leaves he had prepared at home and put them on the table.
"How about looking at this tea?"
Yuan Zinong didn't care much, he thought that Xia Li knew that he liked to drink tea, and this time he went home to bring him hometown specialties.
"Thank you, you still want to bring me something when you go home." Zinong thanked.
Xia Li saw that he didn't care about putting the tea can aside, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
He hurriedly explained: "This tea is indeed for you, but it is recommended for you, you can open it and take a look." ”
I didn't understand what my roommate meant, but out of trust in Xia Li, he slowly opened the sealed tea can.
"White tea?" After opening it, he looked at Xia Lidao with a shocked face before he could take a closer look at the smell.
Seeing his expression, Xia Li nodded proudly and said, "This is my own production, and you, the tea taster, will evaluate and evaluate." ”
The local mainly produces black tea and green tea, and white tea is rare, and when he heard that it was still produced by his roommate, he was even more interested, so he pinched out some from the jar and put it in the palm of his hand to observe.
The expression on his face was all in full view of Xia Li, who was sitting opposite, first interested, then surprised, and finally unbelievable.
Yuan Zinong trembled and said, "This ...... Is this ancient tree tea? ”
Seeing Zinong's expression, Xia Li was very satisfied.
He nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
"Let's go, let's go back to the dormitory, how about I try this tea." Zinong took Xia Li's hand and was about to go back.
Xia Li said helplessly: "Big brother, the account hasn't been paid yet!" ”
He came to his senses when Xia Li said this, and said embarrassedly: "It's because I'm in a hurry, I'll pay for it, and we'll leave quickly after paying." ”
Xia Li hurriedly raised his hand and refused: "Don't, big brother, this time I said that I begged you to do something, and I must have an attitude when I ask someone to do something, and I will pay for it." ”
Xia Li didn't plan to hide it, he paid enough money, and planned to tell him when he got to the dormitory.
"What are you asking me to do for you?" Zinong asked.
"Don't worry, let's taste the tea first, and then we'll talk about it after tasting."
Xia Li returned to the staff dormitory that he was once familiar with, although there were two big men living in the house, but the tidying up was indeed in good order, and the main thing was that the two big men should love clean people.
Although the dormitory is not large, less than 20 square meters, it is more than enough for two single beds, and the two people live very comfortably.
If the two of them are not scientific research talents, this double room will not be their turn to live at all, and they can only squeeze the eight-person room with ordinary employees.
There are relatively few things in the house, except for a few bedding that are washing supplies, and the only table in the room is a tea set.
As soon as he entered the house, Yuan Zinong put the tea leaves sent by Xia Li and went to boil water.
When the water was boiling, Zinong began to clean his tea set, and seeing his serious face, Xia Qian couldn't help but have an idea, but he felt that the time was not too ripe now, so he planned to talk about it later.
"Gollum"
After the water boiled, Zinong asked Xia Li to sit over, and after some tossing, he finally brewed the tea.
After symbolically pouring a cup for Xia Li, he picked up the cup in his hand and put it under his nose, and fanned the tea with his hand.
"Fragrant, it's really fragrant, it's worthy of ancient tree tea." Zinong exclaimed.
Xia Li saw that Zinong was very satisfied with this tea, and he also drank it all in a cup.
"This tea making process is a little familiar, can you ask the name of the tea master?" The more Liu Zinong drank it, the more he felt that this white tea was similar to his family's production process, but he had to admit that this tea was better than theirs, which was not only a problem with ancient tree tea, but also related to the process.
To put it simply, it is more like an upgraded version of their family, so he is more curious about the tea master behind this tea.
Hearing this, Xia Li couldn't guess his friend's thoughts, he touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Don't hide it, the process of this tea is improved by me in combination with Guangfu." ”
Zinong's eyes couldn't help but light up and he was surprised: "You can also make tea?" ”
Xia Li smiled embarrassedly and said, "My family has been making tea since I was a child, and I just know it." ”
Lying in front of his friends, although he can never think of the reason, but it is still very embarrassing, but what can he do, saying that it is the future he teaches himself?
If you don't get caught as mentally ill, you will burn high incense.
Yuan Zinong found out that he only knew this roommate today, and this guy actually had the same hobbies as him, so he hurriedly said: "Brother, I must go to your house when I have time." ”
"Very welcome, as long as you come over, I will sweep the couch to greet you."
The two chatted very happily because of tea, although they usually chatted, but more about the discussion of work, and the previous years together did not have this heart-to-heart relationship.
Friends are sometimes so simple, as long as they smell the same, they can become friends in an instant, if the two have different magnetic fields, they can't become friends for a lifetime.
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted me to help?" Zinong suddenly thought of Xia Li's purpose for coming over this time, and hurriedly asked.
After taking a sip of tea, Xia Li organized a language and said: "Actually, it's nothing, you should have drunk this is new tea, this white tea is what I just reformed this year, my family has no reliable sales channels, I heard you say before that you don't have an uncle who specializes in buying tea in our city!" ”
"You're trying to introduce you to my uncle?"
"Yes, my family used to be in the low-end market, and I was afraid that those tea merchants would not be able to eat these white teas." Xia Li replied.
Zinong nodded and said, "Such a good tea really can't be sold cheaply, otherwise it will be too bad." ”
"By the way, I was on the phone with my uncle a few days ago, and he organized a small tea party in the store, if you are interested, I can help you talk to your uncle."
Yuan Zinong suddenly thought that his uncle invited him to taste tea the day before yesterday, and he simply said it when he happened to encounter this today, originally he was not interested in this tea party, but because of his friends, he felt that he should go over.
"Great, what day it is, I'll definitely pass it then." Natsu left the heart.
Uncle Zinong is in the tea circle of their city, and it can be said that everyone knows about it, and the tea party he held shows how high the gold content is.
He had heard about this man before he knew Zinong.
Of course, it was because his father often mentioned him in his ears that he didn't know what this person's real name was, and his father didn't know, but everyone in the circle called him Brother Eleven, and I didn't know whether he was called Eleven or Eleven.
He also started as a tea merchant at the beginning, but later heard that he made money and held a lot of contacts in his hands, so he simply opened a teahouse in the city.
His teahouse is not the kind of ordinary teahouse on the market, the decoration inside is magnificent, and the membership fee alone costs thousands a year, which is not at all for ordinary people to enter, and many large company owners will choose here to talk about business.
Every year, in order to stabilize their peers and discover new tea, they will choose a time to hold a tea party in the teahouse every year, where everyone can sit together to exchange feelings, and you can also take out your own tea to share with everyone.
Of course, this is not something that everyone can share, and there is no special recommendation to bring tea in.
