Chapter 79 79. The face and money of one or two brothers
“Good guy!”
A group of middle-aged men cursed: "I said I wanted to play cards, but you didn't go! Old Wu said I wanted to go fishing, but you didn't go... I asked you what you wanted to do, and I said you wanted to have tea at home!"
Retired middle-aged men, either wearing jackets and other retired old aunties, dominating various scenic spots, or squatting by the water and just being fishermen.
Even if it doesn't work, you'll be betting on the situation at the card table, and you'll still be playing for one to five yuan.
The plan was disrupted, and Lao Sun said it so mysteriously, as if he had obtained some kind of top-notch Dahongpao!
Everyone was shaken and encouraged him to come back with a few words and bring out the peerless tea for everyone to taste.
This old Sun, who was putting on a show, looked reluctant to give up at first. How much can each of them drink for one drink? Did you survive for a couple of seconds?
Some people are still hesitant.
Had it not been for many years of old friendship, and the conversation was over there again, they would not have had the opportunity to enter the house this time.
Who would have thought that it took so long to prepare and look forward to it for a long time, but in the end, this old guy dug out a small bag of tea leaves in the refrigerator for a long time!
That bag—that bag looks so familiar. Isn’t it the one that Lao Sun usually uses when he goes out to bring tea?
tui!
A group of people showing contempt.
Lao Sun's character was insulted, and he shouted loudly: "What do you know? Don't look at the fact that there are only one or two tea leaves..."
Well, there is no one or two left now. When he got it back in the morning, he secretly made a cup of hot water. The moment he rushed down, the room was filled with fragrance. Even his wife, who never drinks tea, subconsciously asked: "What kind of tea is this? It smells so good."
How thrilling and exciting! He forced Lao Sun to prevaricate him out.
On the cup of Maojian, Lao Sun brewed it back and forth seven or eight times, and finally chewed up all the tea leaves and swallowed it, and then he put the cup away without being satisfied.
I didn’t want to go out to show off and summoned all these people.
He was ready to bleed profusely and wait for everyone to look up at him.
These people still don’t believe it!
Hey! Old Sun also lost his temper: This afternoon he must let these people know what good tea is!
I just heard Old Sun snoring angrily: "Do you know how much this small package costs? One thousand yuan! My own playing cards are 500 yuan, and I have 500 yuan of private money that I have saved over the years. Only then did I grab the first place." Bought it instantly!”
Hence, I never dare to let my family know about it.
One thousand yuan per tael?
Even though a group of big men seem to be quite comfortable with a monthly pension of two to three thousand yuan, in today's world, what can they do with this little money?
There are grandchildren at home who need to supplement from time to time.
As far as they usually drink tea, even the most picky among them can only spend a thousand yuan on two pounds of pre-rain tea every year.
Their local tea is not famous, and the unit price of 500 yuan is already very good.
Now that they learned that this old Sun actually spent a thousand yuan to buy tea without saying a word, and only bought one or two, everyone was instantly excited.
So we each found a place to sit down in this old unit, and then spontaneously took out a few glasses under the coffee table.
“Come on, come on! Let’s see what the tea costing one thousand yuan per tael looks like.”
Everyone looked at each other, their anticipation for the tea and their estimation of the possibility of Lao Sun being deceived were all in their eyes, all without saying a word.
Lao Sun had been with them for a long time, so he couldn't see how ignorant they were. At this moment, he snorted coldly:
When the water was boiling, Lao Sun felt that the cups used for entertaining guests at home were not clear enough, so he simply took them to the sink and washed them repeatedly with toothpaste.
When everything was ready, the only thing left was to use a thermometer to test the water temperature. Everyone was already impatient, so Lao Sun opened the sealed bag.
When he pinched the tea leaves, his distressed hands were trembling. The double pull of face and money made him suddenly have the urge to regret. In order not to embarrass himself in front of his brothers, he could only change the subject: "Smell it, this is fresh dry tea that has just been roasted. Does it smell good?"
It hasn't been brewed yet, only the dry tea has fallen to the bottom of the cup. Everyone sniffed, and there was indeed a faint scent of tea floating in the air.
Not obvious.
But dry tea can have this kind of taste, which is already quite outstanding.
The tea drinker was already turning the transparent glass back and forth, looking at the color of the dry tea strips, sniffing constantly, and finally came to the conclusion:
“Old Sun, you might not have spent the thousand yuan in vain.”
The locals have a habit of drinking tea in Maojian. They put the dry tea into the cup, then fill the cup with one-third of the water, shake it twice, and then pour the water out.
The next step is the formal brewing.
Normally, this kind of tea-washing water is poured out directly, but today, everyone smelled the fresh aroma and watched Old Sun pour out the first tea from each cup, and then put it in a glass again. No one said anything.
When it is officially brewed, the tea leaves tumble and stretch under the surge of water, and the tips of the buds stand upright, and the green color reflects the spring-like green color of the grass in the cup, and then the smell of tea rolling around the room Fresh tea aroma…
Everyone took a long breath.
“Smells so good!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door being opened with a click.
Everyone's heart immediately trembled.
As soon as the old grandson's daughter-in-law entered the door carrying a vegetable basket, she was also startled by the several elderly men sitting in rows in the narrow living room.
“Ouch.”
She called out.
Lao Sun also said "Ouch" in his heart, and subconsciously moved the tea cup in front of him, as if this could reduce his sense of presence.
The old grandson’s daughter-in-law laughed: “Why are you here? I didn’t even tell you in advance... By coincidence, I still have two bundles of milkvetch bought in the morning, so I’ll keep them at home for dinner tonight!”
We are all retired middle-aged people. Who doesn’t know how much money one tael of tea worth one thousand yuan can make at home?
Everyone was also thinking about it. They were not interested in the milkvetch. They just moved their teacups towards themselves in embarrassment.
This move made me feel even more embarrassed.
After all, it’s only one tael for a thousand yuan, and now they only have a few cents. Even if Lao Sun stingy only covers the bottom of the cup, now there is only a pitiful handful left.
It weighs more than 30 grams when you are exhausted, right?
At this calculation, this mouthful costs dozens of yuan.
There were a lot of people in the house, and the old grandson’s daughter-in-law didn’t have enough food to buy. She put down the vegetable basket and quickly turned on the door handle to go out:
“You guys chat first, I’m going to buy some braised vegetables and have some for dinner.”
Seeing her turn and the door handle turn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the sighing seemed too obvious in the room, and the old granddaughter-in-law turned around again and sniffed:
“I wanted to ask you this morning, Lao Sun, where did you get such fragrant tea? How much did it cost?”
Yi Liang brother is quite appropriate hahaha, Yi Liang uncle is more suitable!
Still have it today! It’s Monday, let’s work hard every day! Someone, hold Concubine Wan Gui down for me!
