"Grandpa Yao, do you like drinking tea?" Xu Ning recorded a medicinal meal and looked at the old man in front of him with his chin.

Uncle Lao Yao nodded and smiled, "Of course I like it, but we don't have any good tea here. If you don't want to drink too expensive tea, it's not easy to buy it."

I think that families like him with a long history usually like to drink tea. As for those fashionable coffees and other things today, the old man doesn’t even think about it. Those things are better than drinking tea.

"Can Grandpa Yao fry tea?"

"This grandfather doesn't." Old Uncle Yao shook his head, "You little girl, you really know everything about Grandpa Yao. If you want to learn this, Grandpa Yao will introduce you to a teacher. Her ancestors used to be family friends with grandpa's family, and they are imperial merchants who specialize in purchasing tea for the palace."

Xu Ning couldn't help but be surprised, "Are all the people you know so powerful?"

"There are only a few people who are in contact, but they all live better than Grandpa Yao." As he spoke, the old man did not have any envy or yearning.

"When I get the tea leaves, please recommend the tea master to me. I will bring the tea fried at that time to honor you."

"Hey, this is great, grandpa is a good tea, I won't be polite to you little girl."

Since when it comes to tea, the old man explained to the little girl in detail about tea, such as the types and grades of tea, etc. Xu Ning didn't know much about it, so he turned over a page again, wrote it down carefully, and went back to review it.

All ten tea trees have been installed in the space. Xu Ning has to go in and check it out every morning, noon and evening. He found that according to Grandpa Yao, she can actually pick it at least three times a day. However, the number is small, she also cut a tea branch from one of the tea trees and planted it in the soil next to her. It took two days for her to play the new role. The transplanted tea branch had grown almost the same size as the mother tree next to her. In this way, she had no worries and directly used the next few days to plant all the tea trees.

In such a tense and fulfilling busy life, the last semester of junior high school has begun.

She doesn't relax when she should study, and she won't make herself unhappy when she should relax.

First of all, after studying every night, she would pick tea in the space before going to bed and when she woke up early.

According to Grandpa Yao, the ancient Longjing tea was divided into eight levels, and each level had a specific name. Today, Longjing tea was divided into eleven levels, from the special level to the back.

Xu Ning was not a person who often drank tea in his previous life. After all, her life was so hard that she only took painkillers every month, which was a considerable expense. Although the restaurant was responsible for food, she still had to pay the rent, and her monthly salary was not much left.

She was not very clear about what kind of tea in the hotel at that time, but there were also "special" teas. Of course, there were too many teas with the words "special" in the later period, and the prices were different. In fact, the most expensive tea in their hotel was only a few hundred yuan per pound, and the cheapest one was dozens of yuan. In this way, they sold many times. After all, it was a hotel in a scenic spot, so the price would definitely not be cheap.

She picked tea leaves according to the highest standards mentioned by Grandpa Yao, and only collected one bud. I don’t know if it was her illusion. When she finished picking it for the first time, she found that all buds were almost the same size, with a very light ink color all over the body. The ink color was extremely light and light. She also took it out and looked through the sunlight, giving people a jade-like feeling, and even a kind of surging vitality that was about to explode, which was particularly beautiful.

After picking this for a month, she finally saved about three kilograms of fresh tea. Because Xu Ning wanted to know what the standard of tea in her space was, she took advantage of the Saturday afternoon when she made dinner and greeted her parents, put on a few meals and came to Uncle Lao Yao's house.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Grandpa Yao loading firewood at the door, as if she was about to go back to the house to cook.

"It's better to come early than to come by chance. I happened to come here with lunch. Grandpa Yao, please stop making it." Xu Ning stepped forward and raised the three-layer large food box in his hand. "I have something to ask Grandpa Yao, and bring it here to eat together."

Seeing this, Uncle Yao seemed to be used to the little girl's style. He did not refuse and brought a basket of firewood to Xu Ning into the house.

After sitting down, Xu Ning took out three dishes, one soup and six flower rolls, arranged them on the table, ran to the bowl rack and found two pairs of chopsticks.

"I just ran over here just a week. What's the urgent matter?" the old man asked with a smile.

"I'll show you the tea leaves I picked, and then you will introduce to me the tea master who asked me to help me make this fresh tea into tea leaves." After that, she took out a small plastic bottle from her pocket, with about ten tender buds inside.

The old man is a good tea person, so he will naturally not refuse. In addition, he likes and loves this little girl very much, so this is not a problem that can endure the trouble, so he will definitely help.

After taking the tea leaves, he looked carefully for a while, then got up and walked out and raised it to knock through the sunshine.

After returning, the old man said with a look of regret, "You child is really a waste."

"Did I take it wrong?" Xu Ning also lost his face. If he was really wrong, a month of physical work would be nothing, isn't it really a waste?

"That's right." The old man sighed, "Although it's true, only picking one tender bud, the tea that is fried is naturally extraordinary. However, there are very few people who can truly taste the essence of tea. Besides, I have seen the fresh tea you pick. The quality green color is green, and it's never seen before. However, the color is very beautiful in the sun, and it seems that there is vitality flowing in it. Obviously, this tea tree must be good. You might as well collect one bud and one leaf. The tea that is fried in this way must be a top-notch, so you still say it's not a waste?"

But just after just taking a look, he felt that he was salivating and inexplicably wanted to have some tea before cooking.

The old man is not a common man. Even if he is in the secular world, he never goes back to ask, and he doesn't even think about it.

Although he was curious about where this little girl got this kind of tea that she had never seen before, since the little girl didn't say it, he then threw this idea behind her and didn't care about it.

Seeing Xu Ning's somewhat disappointed look, the old man smiled and said, "Don't be disappointed, my old friend is a perfect tea maker. Wait for me to call her and ask her to come over."

"That's so troublesome." Xu Ning said hurriedly.

"No trouble, she is a tea nerd. When she hears that there is good tea, no one can stop her."

Seeing the old man say this, Xu Ning stopped talking about anything else. After dinner, he took the bowl and plate home, saying that he would go back to do his homework in the afternoon and come to study tomorrow.

In the afternoon, the old man went to the village branch and called a friend who was far away in Hangzhou. After hearing this, the man said that he would set off this afternoon and would definitely arrive the morning after tomorrow.

The old man didn't say anything, and seemed to know that this would be the same before calling.

At this time, in an exquisite and retro house in Hangzhou, the old lady with a half-white hair hung up the phone and asked the young man around her to book her train ticket.

Chen Canglan heard the destination and asked with a question on his face, "Grandma, what are you doing in Yan Province? I will go to the imperial capital to attend the annual tea exhibition next month. You are a special guest."

Luo Xijun waved his hand, got up and went upstairs to pack his luggage, "There is an old guy over there who said he has good tea in his hand, so I'll help fry it."

"Then I'll help you with a trip, why do you need to go there in person?" Chen Canglan disagreed.

It seems that she is an acquaintance, otherwise even if the other party says she has good tea, for the grandmother who has been dealing with tea for a lifetime, she can't invite her by saying this casually. She is the person with the most experienced tea culture in China today.

Chen Canglan was worried about thinking that his grandmother had to travel a long distance at such an old age.

"I will take two days off with the school and I will accompany you." He shouted upstairs.

"Whatever you want." Luo Xijun was too lazy to say anything, just book her train tickets as soon as possible.

If it were an ordinary person, Luo Xijun would not go back, but is that old guy an ordinary person? The two have been familiar with each other since childhood. Since he said it was a good tea, it must be that ordinary people can judge it simply by price. How could she not pay attention to it?

Although the tea exhibition is still one month away and there are a lot of things to prepare, it is enough for her to take a few days to go there. I believe this trip will not disappoint her.

The ticket was booked quickly. Chen Canglan said that he would not just go there to help him with it. He could take a plane by himself, but if grandma went there in person, she could only run on the ground. The old man had also gone abroad to attend tea exhibitions in his life. Of course, there have been only two times in his life. These two flights made the old man complain and feel sick.

Xu Ning learned on Sunday that Grandpa Yao had called the other party and said that it would be available as late as tomorrow morning. She didn't hide it and took the three or four kilograms of fresh tea she had picked to him. After all, she had to go to school the next day.

At 8 o'clock on Monday morning, a tricycle with a back bucket came in from the village and drove into Xiangshan Village "twist" all the way. The black smoke behind it really choked people to death.

Chen Canglan helped his obviously tired grandmother get out of the car. His face was not particularly good. Even a young man with good physical strength had been struggling in the past two days, and the taxi here was almost invisible. He had no choice but to enter the hotel in the city and asked someone to find a car to do business here in the county town.

As soon as Chen Canglan got off the car, he wanted to ask for directions, but was stopped by Luo Xijun.

"This big brother, where does the old uncle Yao in your village live?"

After breakfast, the old man who was walking on the street heard it, raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Walk straight along this alley, turn left until he walks."

The grandparents and grandchildren thanked others, and then Chen Canglan helped his grandmother and walked into the alley.

When he saw the yard in front of him, Luo Xijun was surprised for a moment and seemed a little disbelief standing at the door.

"Grandma!" Chen Canglan was confused. He was so anxious before, but why didn't he come to the door?

"Canglan, his ancestors were the imperial doctors in the palace since the Qing Dynasty. Although they were not rich and noble, they were respected by everyone. Unexpectedly, when they arrived here, they fell into this small mountain village."

I had never heard from my grandmother before, but now Chen Canglan was also a little surprised to learn that the person living here was actually the descendant of the medical family.

This is an imperial physician, not an imperial physician. There are many imperial physicians in the palace, but very few can be given the title of imperial physician, which is enough to show his superb medical skills.

"You also know that grandma's ancestors were the Imperial Merchants who presented tea to the Qing Palace. They had a good relationship with the Ren family. I met him when I was young, but later he disappeared with his grandfather. It was not until after the Guotai period was stable that he received a call, which was considered to be a re-connection." The old lady looked up and saw an extremely simple-dressed old man walking out of the house, with a kind smile on her lips, "Grandma had a serious illness in her childhood. If it weren't for his grandfather, I would have died long ago."

"I'm not living well now, so why don't you die?" Old Yao Uncle saw her and walked forward with a dustpan with dry medicinal herbs. "Why don't you come in when you come? Do you dislike the coldness of my yard?"

Luo Xijun did not answer, looking at his legs, with a look of variegated expression, "You were originally ugly, but now you have lame legs again, it's really hard for you."

Uncle Lao Yao was ridiculed by her and laughed and cried. "Now I feel that I am ugly now? When I was young, who insisted on pestering me as a wife as an ugly monster when I met? Don't be ashamed. Come in quickly."

When the three of them entered the house, Lao Yao poured them a cup of tea. Although there was a gap in the cup, Chen Canglan was a little obsessed with cleanliness and didn't want to drink it, but when he saw that his grandmother didn't care at all, he did not lose his manners.

After taking a sip, I found that this was not boiled water, there was a hint of bitterness and sweetness mixed in it. After a closer look, this was chrysanthemum tea.

"Where is the tea?" Luo Xijun asked.

Uncle Lao Yao didn't say anything else. He pulled out a dustpan from the medicine stand and broke it in front of Luo Xijun. A clear and long fragrance suddenly lingered between his nose.

When Luo Xijun saw it, his eyes immediately stopped and he stared at the fresh tea leaves in front of him.

Although Chen Canglan, who was born in a tea family, was not very proficient, he knew more than ordinary people with pretentious tea. She was also a little surprised when she saw these tender buds.

"Grandma..." He glanced at her grandma, and saw that the other party was devoted to her wholeheartedly and did not say anything.

That's right, even he thinks that this tender bud is extraordinary, let alone grandma, the real tea making master.

"This is picked from the tea trees from Longjing Tea Garden in Hangzhou." Just a glance, Luo Xijun said this.

But Chen Canglan felt that grandma seemed to have seen it, "Grandma, I have seen all the tea trees in Longjing Tea Garden, and there is no such rich green color."

"...It's indeed a little different." But Luo Xijun thought she would not read it wrong. "In my experience, it should be from the tea tree over there."

But even so, she still stared at the green buds in front of her, all of which were picked. She had looked at them very carefully, and there was almost no difference in size. "Brother Jia, have you helped to screen?"

"No, I just spread it out and put it all night, and then I didn't move it." Old Uncle Yao came over and sat down, "How is it?"

"Even if you say it's extraordinary, then you must be extraordinary." Luo Xijun felt a little itchy with his hands, "I would have brought the equipment here before, so I would cook it directly on your side." Now I have to take it back, it took two days to go.

"I just feel a little regretful." Old Yao uncle stroked his beard and laughed: "The little girl had asked me about tea before. I told her a lot and told her that there were teas that could pick one tender bud, one bud and two leaves, and the girl picked the tender buds directly, which was a pity."

"It's a pity." Luo Xijun nodded, "There are not many people who understand this now. Many of them are just looking for elegance. If you don't know, you should pretend to understand. One bud and one leaf are according to the quality of this fresh tea, and my fried technique, it is definitely more precious than the few extra-grade dragon hearts on the market. You are not clear enough."

"Blame me." Uncle Lao Yao nodded regretfully.

Luo Xijun suddenly reacted and asked curiously: "You said the one who picked this tea leaves was a little girl? Where did she pick it?"

Looking at the state of the tea leaves, it should have been picked yesterday. Since that's the case, the tea tree should be near this village. She really wants to move back and plant one.

Seeing this, the old uncle Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, "I didn't ask, and the little girl didn't say anything, but you might come back here at noon, so you don't ask."

"I..." Luo Xijun was a little unwilling to give up, but when he saw the old uncle Yao's eyes, he could only sigh regretfully, "I know, I don't ask, but according to my fried technique, this can be made at most three or two tea leaves. Will I leave one or two at my ideal price? "

"I don't have the final say. Let's wait for you to ask that little girl." After the old uncle Yao said that, he saw Luo Xijun's expression and smiled: "That little girl is a good boy. If you say she must agree, maybe she doesn't even want your money."

"This is not true. She doesn't know how precious this tea is." Luo Xijun shook his head, "Even if the Longjing tea is fried by ordinary tea masters, the price is more precious than other teas, not to mention that I personally fry it, and use such a rare fresh tea."

After saying that, Luo Xijun said with regret and regret: "I don't know if there is any other habit of drinking this tea."

Shen Canglan didn't say anything. He didn't like drinking tea in general, but he really wanted to try this at this moment.

I thought my grandma was making a fuss before, but now it seems that this trip is really worth it.

"Don't you have a lot of tea at home?" The old man looked at the exquisite box on the table, "Is this the tea I brought for me?"

"Yes, I personally fry it, and it is made with home-grown tea. You can try it. If you like it, call me after you finish drinking it and I will send it to you."

"Then I will thank you first." The old man didn't be polite to Luo Xijun.

When she was young, she had been running around in her kitchen many times.
