Chapter 280 Don’t be too frugal, Yogurt-sama
afternoon.
After lunch, Li Mu went downstairs with Li Qinran holding yogurt.
A BMW car parked at the gate of the community, and Brother Nan was leaning on the passenger door waiting for them.
"Have you eaten enough for lunch?" Brother Nan asked.
"No."
"That's good, I brought you something good." Brother Nan smiled, opened the passenger door and took out a wooden box.
"What good stuff?"
"Didn't I tell you before you returned to the provincial capital? You made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for me, and I also made food for you. It's just enough to eat today."
"Oh." Li Mu glanced at the wooden box in Brother Nan's hand.
The body of the box is carved with exquisite patterns, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting sunlight and revealing a delicate purple-red luster.
"Is this sandalwood and rosewood?"
"Oh, how did you know?"
"One tael of red sandalwood and one tael of gold. This wood is quite valuable."
"It's just a thermal box."
Brother Nan put the wooden box on the hood of the car and opened the lid. "Try it quickly. I made it with my own hands. I can vouch for it."
"Quickly, testify!" Brother Nan turned to urge Li Qinran.
"Yeah." My sister nodded.
Li Mu looked at the box, which contained something that looked like some kind of salad or pickled vegetables.
It looks a bit like young ginger. It is cut into lumps. There is actually no need to put it in an insulated box. Brother Nan probably took this red sandalwood box because he couldn't find other containers.
"Is this a piece of ginger?"
"Try it!"
"Okay."
Li Mu reached out, pinched a small piece and put it into his mouth.
It's refreshing, tender and crispy in the mouth, and it's delicious but not too salty. Li Mu raised his eyebrows: "It's delicious. Did you really make it yourself?"
"Hey, I asked my mother and asked her to direct the whole process. Let me tell you, it is troublesome to make. It takes a lot of effort just to buy the seasonings and make the spicy oil."
Brother Nan was very proud, "This is not good to eat. It only tastes good when eaten with rice."
"Oh, is this thing called Jerusalem artichoke?"
"Ah, you actually guessed it?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Buy, buy."
"Bought?"
Li Mu looked at Brother Nan who felt a little guilty, and then turned to look at Li Qinran. Li Qinran also lowered her head and did not look at him.
Now he knew what was going on.
"I remember that there was a piece of Jerusalem artichoke planted in the garden of the provincial capital. I don't know if it is still there now." Li Mu said as he closed the lid and took it home for dinner.
"Ahem!"
Brother Nan coughed dryly and refused to answer the topic, "Remember to return the thermos box to me after you finish eating. This is not for you!"
"You."
Li Mu originally wanted to keep a straight face, but he couldn't help but laugh——
In his mind, he quickly imagined a scene of Brother Nan carrying a shovel and digging in the garden of the provincial capital on a dark and windy night.
Or maybe it wasn't night. One afternoon, Brother Nan walked into the provincial capital with a shovel to dig Jerusalem artichokes. When she met someone watching, she put her hands on her hips and yelled fiercely at others, "What are you looking at? I've never seen anyone digging for Jerusalem artichokes." Wild vegetables,' drove away the onlookers.
It’s funny just thinking about it.
When Brother Nan saw Li Mu smiling, she also giggled.
Only Li Qinran stood aside, not looking at the two of them, concentrating on taking off her hairpin and pinning it on Yogurt's forehead.
The three of them finally drove to the scenic spots in the West Fourth Ring Road.
There were a lot of tourists during the National Day, and this was not their first time here. They took a quick look at the flowers and then came out, just to kill time.
"I'm so thirsty. I'm going to buy water. What do you want to drink?" Brother Nan stood at the entrance of the scenic spot, looking around.
"Whatever." Li Qinran said.
Li Mu pointed to a shop with antique decoration at the intersection, "There is a teahouse there. It looks well decorated. Why don't you go and have tea? You can also sit down and have a rest."
"Beiyuan Tea Tree."
A cat's head appeared in the bag, he looked at the sign and read it quietly for him.
Li Mu looked down at her.
"Brush!"
The cat immediately retracted his head. "It's Beiyuan Tea House."
"Huh?"
The cat huddled in the bag, just tilting its head and looking at Li Mu with one eye aimed at the gap in the bag, "Doesn't that word mean "Mu Miao?"
"Well, Nianlou."
"Ariki! Read half of the words you don't recognize!"
"Not all words can be pronounced in half."
One person and one cat talked quietly and walked to the door of the teahouse.
"Six major tea categories are available for you to taste."
The cat stuck its head out again and read the fine print on the teahouse sign for him.
As soon as Li Mu lowered his head, she shrank back again.
"."
Li Mu shook his head and continued to look up.
Nowadays, doing business needs to face fierce competition. Everyone is putting effort into their signboards and trying to attract more customers. This tea house has a lot of content written on its signboard.
"The best tea leaves, authentic taste!"
The cat's voice is small but sonorous.
Li Mu looked down and saw that she was huddled in her satchel and did not stick her head out.
Cats are smart and have keen eyesight.
I guess I had just seen and memorized everything on the sign. At this time, I noticed Li Mu looking up and read it out.
"Pa"
Li Mu patted the kitten gently through the bag and walked into the teahouse.
There are many people in the store.
Brother Nan and his sister have already chosen their seats. They are by the window. Brother Nan likes to sit by the window.
The cat got out of the bag, lay down next to Li Mu, and sniffed, "Ni Mu, why did Mr. Yogurt smell a familiar smell?"
"It's the aroma of brewing tea, which Mr. Yogurt drank in the courtyard."
"Ugh! Poisonous water!"
"It's not poisonous, that's how tea tastes."
"Bitter and bitter."
Mao'er whispered, then suddenly thought of something, "Do we have to spend money to drink water in the store?"
"I want it."
"!"
Mao'er looked calm, jumped off the chair and walked out.
"Where are you going, Master Yoghurt?"
"You and Sister Lan can drink it, and Mr. Yogurt can drink it outside."
Mao'er stopped and looked back at Li Mu, "There was a stream where we were playing just now, and the water there is free."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, stood up and walked to the kitten and hugged her back, "Yoghurt-sama, you don't have to be so frugal, we have enough money to spend."
"Every little bit you can save is worth it."
"Yoghurt Master is frugal for cats. This is a good virtue, but don't be too frugal."
Li Mu gently touched the kitten and said, "While you are young and within your ability, eat when you need to and play when you need to. Don't let down your youth by being too frugal. In this way, future yogurt adults will also thank you." .”
"Future Yogurt Master?"
"That's you many years from now."
"Hmm"
Mao'er seems to understand but still feels sorry for money.
"Sometimes I really feel that Li Mu can talk to Mr. Yogurt." Li Qinran watched a person and a cat chatting quietly, and couldn't help but turn to Brother Nan.
Brother Nan just looked at Li Mu and Yogurt and grinned.
At this time, a tea master wearing a cheongsam brought a complicated tea set and placed it on the table.
The tea in this shop is not boiled and then served. Instead, a dedicated person comes to the table to brew the tea for you.
This is confidence in your craft, which can give you a different experience in the process.
The tea master takes out the tea from the tea can, puts it in the tea bag, and crushes it with a mallet. Then he puts the broken tea leaves into the tea mortar, grinds them back and forth into powder, and then sifts them again with a fine sieve. It's all fine tea powder.
The kitten didn't blink, staring closely at the tea sommelier's movements, as if wanting to see what this thing was and how much it cost.
The tea master couldn't help but look at the kitten. Such a beautiful and spiritual kitten captured her instantly, and even her tone of explaining the tea ceremony became slower.
