Chapter 233 Tea Leaves
“While everyone is here, I have been thinking about it all night. I have something I want to tell you.”
After Su’s father was questioned by Master Zhu yesterday, he I went out and walked around, and found that most people stayed away as soon as they heard him talk and realized that he was from Chaozhou. Only then did he realize that the image of his hometown had hit rock bottom here. Therefore, he quietly decided after thinking for a night, "In order to re-establish the image of us Chaozhou people and change everyone's view of Chaozhou people, I decided that everything should start with me."
"First of all, I won't say anything. I won’t overdo it, I won’t do anything counterfeit, everything will be based on integrity, I hope everyone will supervise me!” Su’s father said to everyone honestly and honestly.
Lao Dou and Mom looked at each other, and Lao Dou comforted him: "In-laws, in fact, most Chaozhou people are honest, including you. We trust you very much. You don't have to be so serious. .”
"That's right, whoever doesn't trust my father-in-law from now on has nothing to do, brother, even Old Dou will not admit it." The second brother also stood up to defend his father-in-law, but Kang Qirui knew that the person who distrusted his father-in-law the most in the whole family was the one who distrusted his father-in-law. The second guy himself. I saw the second brother holding a cup of tea and handing it to Su's father, "Father-in-law, drink tea. Let's try the new tea my old Dou bought."
"That's it, drink tea with me, in-laws, don't take it so seriously." Lao Dou also said.
Su’s father took the teacup handed over by the second brother, but did not drink the tea immediately. Instead, he sighed: "I really can’t be serious. In the past ten years, a small number of Chaozhou people have indeed become very serious. They are immoral, making fake things, selling fake goods, everything is fake. This is caused by a small group of bad apples."
"This small group of people should be angry, since Chaozhou people are now. It's good to be aware of this problem." Old Dou counted his fingers and said, "Chaozhou people can endure hardships and are smart. They will change their image in a short time."
Father Su felt better now. He nodded and said, "I hope so." Then he took a sip of tea and frowned. He thought for a while and then said: "My dear, don't mind me saying this, this tea is very ordinary."
"Uncle, isn't this tea good?" the old woman said. Chaozhou people are the best at drinking tea.
"What's so bad? It's more than a hundred yuan a pound. I felt bad when I bought it." Old Dou also frowned and said, this tea is the most expensive one he has ever bought. If it weren't for When Su's father came, he was reluctant to take it out and drink it.
"I have a can of aged Tieguanyin at home that I haven't drunk yet. It's just that I came in a hurry this time. Otherwise, I'd like to bring it over for everyone to taste this top-quality tea." Su's father said with emotion. , he suddenly said, "I remember that Ah Wei is coming to Guangfu today, and he is my neighbor. So I will call him and ask him to bring him over to me." After that, he stood up and walked to the living room to make a phone call. Went.
In the evening, Father Su deliberately waited until Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling came home before making tea, because they did not have dinner at home today and they were the last ones from the Kang family to arrive home. After they sat down, the Kang family was all here. Su's father began to show off his tea-making art. After drinking, he waved his hand, "Please tea!"
Everyone picked up the tea cups and drank, "Hey" Not bad. "This tea is really good. It wakes you up and refreshes you when you smell it. It tastes very smooth and has a pleasant fragrance." Lao Dou praised him directly. He patted Su's father on the shoulder and said, "Hey, hey. Hey, dear, when you go back to Chaozhou, buy some and send them to me. How much does it cost per pound?”
Before Su's father could speak, the second sister-in-law said first, "Sir, there are actually many tea shops in Guangfu. You don't have to look far away." The tone of her words always felt strange.
Old Dou waved his hand, "What are you doing when you are far away from the near? You, Old Dou, are an old expert, he understands. I don't understand. I bought more than 100 yuan of tea, which is completely incomparable to this. Ah." After he finished speaking to his second sister-in-law, he asked Su's father: "My dear, how much does this tea cost per pound?" "Ah Chan, how much does it cost per pound?" Father Su said smoothly to the tea. When others came out, they felt very strange when they heard this. Isn't this the tea from Su's father's hometown? How do you ask the second sister-in-law how much it costs? The second sister-in-law made the "nine" gesture with an embarrassed look, and Su's father said: "Oh, ninety yuan a pound."
After he finished speaking, he paused. After a while, he suddenly said: "Ninety yuan? It's worth it. My daughter, remember that when I go back in the future, you can help me buy a dozen pounds for me to take back."
What does this mean? Others understood Su's father's words less and less.
The second sister-in-law said helplessly, "What's ninety yuan per catty? Nine hundred yuan and half a catty."
? ? ? Everyone was shocked. What kind of tea is this? So expensive! What's even more shocking is, why are Su's father and second sister-in-law acting strangely? Everyone looked at the second sister-in-law and Su's father in confusion.
The second sister-in-law couldn't stand everyone's looks, and she opened her hands and confessed: "Now that we are all in trouble, I will tell the truth. I called Ah Wei next door and asked him to bring tea. It turned out that He left the tea on the train. I asked him to buy it because he said, "You can't buy it if it's cheap. Good products are not cheap." I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet. I also bought half a catty.”
It turned out that when Su’s father called back this morning, Ah Wei was already ready to go out. Therefore, Ah Wei brought Su's father's treasured tea with him on a last-minute basis and did not put it with other luggage. Therefore, when we got off the bus, we remembered to bring our luggage but not the tea. This made Su's father anxious. He had just sworn to tell lies frankly in the morning, but then he turned around and broke his promise. He didn't bring the promised tea. .
So he thought of a remedy, which was to ask his second sister-in-law to buy a can of good tea and treat it as the tea he asked Ah Wei to bring from Chaozhou.
"Eunuch Tianxiu, in fact, your behavior is a bit deceptive." Azu said bluntly. Kang Qirui quickly patted him beside him to signal him to stop talking nonsense. After he realized it, he quickly added, "But your The intention is good, the intention is good.”
But Su’s father had already heard his deceitful words. He put down the teacup and sighed: “Forget it, it’s useless for me to do anything. I'd better go back." Everyone quickly stopped him. Kang Qirui added to Azu: "Eunuch Tianxiu, actually you don't have to be so unsure. Your kindness and authentic Kung Fu tea make us feel the essence of Chaozhou people. Very good. And you said you brought some good tea for us to taste this morning, but you didn’t specify what kind of tea it was. These are also good teas. How can this be considered fraud?”
“Yes, that’s right. I was wrong just now. According to what Lao Wu said, we have indeed drunk the good tea. Mr. Tianxiu, you are indeed not cheating." Azu also expressed his position quickly.
Su's father's face relaxed now, and then the second sister-in-law and the second brother asked him to stay for a few more days.
