Chapter 24
Liu Lianhai picked up the teacup on the tea tray, and took a sip carefully. As soon as the tea entered his throat, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He glanced sideways at Xie Jinhua, and was slightly surprised to see that he had taken two or three sips in a row, but with a normal expression on his face.In his impression, Xie Jinhua is a tea addict, as soon as he drinks good tea, he will immediately complain and praise him repeatedly.

How could he be so calm while drinking tea this time!

"How is it, old Xie? This tea is not bad." Liu Lianhai asked again eagerly.At this moment, he was also whispering in his heart.Could it be that the purchase of fake tea last time hit Lao Xie so hard that he is not so keen on good tea now.

Xie Jinhua took a few sips, looked at his wife sitting across from him, and said solemnly: "This tea is okay, but the smell of fire is too strong when I drink it, which makes me not used to it. You Can you feel the smell of fire?"

"When you say that, it really smells like fire. My aftertaste is a bit astringent." Wu Huarong took a few more sips on purpose, and then said.

"Hey, what's the matter with you guys, I don't understand what you're saying." Liu Lianhai was a little confused when he heard the two of them singing together, and said, "Why didn't I get that smell of fire you mentioned?" I drank this tea quite smoothly, and after entering my throat, there was a burst of sweetness."

"I didn't say it was not going well, it just smelled of fire." Xie Jinhua looked at Liu Lianhai who was in a hurry, and responded.

"Where is the smell of fire? Why didn't I feel it. Lao Xie, you are not talking nonsense, this is made by a tea master who has been working for decades. Did you hear what I said just now? I didn’t control the heat properly, so I became suspicious.” Liu Lianhai was a little unconvinced, but he took it from a friend, and the evaluation there was quite high.If it hadn't been for the last time he saw that Lao Xie didn't seem to have any good tea here, and for the sake of his friends for many years, he reluctantly took out some tea, otherwise, he was also hiding it.

Now, the tea that he is optimistic about has a mediocre response from Lao Xie's side, and he is not happy now.All along, he thought that his tea-tasting skills were better than Lao Xie's. There was no reason why he didn't see him for a few days, so he just dumped himself a lot.

Perhaps feeling the slight dissatisfaction in Liu Lianhai's words, Lao Xie said calmly: "If I drank this tea yesterday, I must have thought like you. However, the two of us drank a very good bowl yesterday. Tea. If you want to ask me how good that tea is, I really don’t dare to say, but it is definitely better than your tea.”

"No way. Yesterday's tea is really better than mine?" Liu Lianhai looked unbelievable, he turned his head to look at Wu Huarong, wanting to ask her to verify the authenticity of this sentence.Unexpectedly, she nodded without thinking.

This time, he believed it a little bit.

Looking at Liu Lianhai's suspicious eyes, Xie Jinhua felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He smiled and said, "I know you won't believe it, but I really have a way to convince you. I can Make a few cups for you to drink, let you compare and see."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jinhua took out another tureen from under the table, washed it with the boiled water just now, and then methodically reboiled the water and made tea according to his own rhythm.

A few minutes later, Liu Lianhai took Xie Jinhua's brewed tea and observed it carefully.Looking at such a cup of tea, which was obviously much lighter in color, he was a little disapproving.

"You said this is Huangshan Maofeng tea?" Liu Lianhai asked in disbelief.

"Yes, this tea is more abundant in the Central Plains, and it is indeed relatively rare in our southeast." Xie Jinhua introduced it confidently, and motioned Liu Lianhai to drink it.

"This tea really doesn't smell like oolong tea? Is it really as good as you said?" Liu Lianhai still couldn't believe it.

Xie Jinhua smiled helplessly, and urged: "You will know after drinking it."

Liu Lianhai just took a small sip. He thought that the tea should have no tea fragrance, but he didn't expect the fresh tea fragrance to be in his mouth as soon as he took a small sip. It exploded, instantly opening the taste buds on his tongue.

At that moment, his eyes widened immediately, but he still couldn't believe it, so he took a big sip again, unexpectedly, the fresh scent of tea still lingered in his mouth.

Seeing Liu Lianhai's transition from skepticism to disbelief in a short period of time, Xie Jinhua showed a smug smile, and he quickly poured another cup of tea for Liu Lianhai.

It wasn't until Liu Lianhai drank three or four cups that Xie Jinhua opened his mouth and said, "How about it, is my tea better than yours?"

Liu Lianhai thought about it for a while, and said: "It is indeed better than my tea, but your tea seems to be a little astringent at the end of the tongue."

"Haha, that's what we call the smell of fire. See, I'm not lying to you. The scent of my green tea is fresh and elegant enough to make you feel the smell of fire. Relatively speaking, your oolong tea The scent is so strong that it covers up the smell of fire so that you can't feel it at all."

"If I make you another cup of the oolong tea just now, you will definitely understand what I said."

Afterwards, Xie Jinhua made another cup of oolong tea for Liu Lianhai. After he drank it, he really felt a bitter taste from the tip of his tongue as soon as the tea entered his mouth.

It was only then that Liu Lianhai suddenly realized that it wasn't that Lao Xie's tea-tasting skills had improved, but that the green tea he drank before awakened some of his taste buds.

"Where did you get this tea? It's expensive, isn't it made by a master tea maker?" Liu Lianhai looked at the small bag of tea in Xie Jinhua's hand, and his eyes were a little hot.

Sensing Liu Lianhai's emotional changes, Xie Jinhua unconsciously grasped the tea bag a little more tightly, and then replied: "Don't think about my little tea, it's just a little bit left. What about new tea? , There may be more in the day after tomorrow, and I will give you some more at that time. As for the price of this tea, it is really the market price, [-] yuan per catty, and I just ordered two catties yesterday."

"Then you can reserve two catties for me, Lao Xie. This tea is delicious and not expensive, so don't buy more and keep it. Even if you give it as a gift to relatives and friends, it will be very face-saving. More What's more, this kind of tea is not common here, and it is very rare." Liu Lianhai immediately became excited when he heard that the tea was only 4 yuan per catty.You know, the oolong tea he bought cost more than [-] yuan per catty, and it was at a friendly price.Although the aroma of this Huangshan Maofeng tea is not as strong as that of oolong tea, its taste is better than that of oolong tea. In comparison, it is obviously more cost-effective to buy this Huangshan Maofeng tea.

"Okay, then I'll take you to the teahouse tomorrow, how about you make a reservation with the boss yourself?" After hearing this, Xie Jinhua also felt that it made sense.He plans to order another two or three catties tomorrow to stock up, so that he won't be afraid of running out of tea in the future.

"Alright then, remember to call me before you go tomorrow."
