“Good fellow!”
A group of middle-aged men cursed: "I said we were going to play cards, but you didn't go! Old Wu said we were going to go fishing, but you didn't go... I asked you what you wanted to do, and you said you wanted to drink tea at home!"
Retired middle-aged men, either wearing windbreakers and visiting various scenic spots with other retired old ladies, or squatting by the water and focusing on fishing.
If all else fails, they can just gamble at the card table, usually with bets of one or five dollars.
The plan was disrupted, and Old Sun spoke so mysteriously, as if he had obtained some top-notch Da Hong Pao!
Everyone was shaken and urged him to come back and take out the best tea for everyone to taste.
This old Sun was so pretentious, and at first he even acted reluctant. How much can each of them drink? At most, one or two ounces, right
But he is still hesitating.
If it weren't for their many years of friendship and the fact that the words had been spoken so quickly, they wouldn't have had the chance to enter the house this time.
Who would have thought that after so much preparation and anticipation, this old guy would only dig out such a small bag of tea after digging in the refrigerator for a long time!
That bag - that bag looks so familiar, isn't this the one that Lao Sun usually uses to carry tea when he goes out
tui!
A group of people showed contempt.
Old Sun's character was insulted, and he shouted: "What do you know? Even though this tea is only one or two taels..."
Well, now there is not even one or two left, so he secretly made a cup of hot water when he got it back in the morning. The moment it went down, the whole room was filled with fragrance, and even his wife, who never drank tea, subconsciously asked: "What kind of tea is this? It smells so good."
How thrilling and exciting! Old Sun just managed to get away with it.
For that cup of Maojian tea, Lao Sun brewed it seven or eight times. Finally, he chewed the tea leaves into pieces and swallowed them. Only then did he put away the cup with a feeling of unsatisfied satisfaction.
I didn't expect that I would go out and show off and attract all these people.
It's what he wants. He's ready to bleed heavily and wait for everyone to look up to him.
These people just don’t believe it!
Hey! Old Sun also got angry: this afternoon he must let this group of people know what good tea is!
Old Sun said angrily, "Do you know how much this small package costs? One thousand yuan! I have five hundred yuan from my card-playing savings, and another five hundred yuan from my own savings over the years. I was able to buy this at the first opportunity!"
Therefore, I never dared to let my family know.
One thousand yuan for one tael
Don’t think that a group of grown men are quite comfortable with a monthly pension of two to three thousand yuan, but in today’s world, what can they do with this little money
There are grandchildren at home who need some extra money from time to time.
As for the tea they drink on a daily basis, even the most picky one among them would only spend one thousand yuan on two kilograms of tea before the rain every year to satisfy his craving.
Their local tea is not very famous, and the price of 500 yuan per piece is already very good.
Now that they learned that Old Sun had silently spent a thousand yuan to buy tea, and had only bought one or two taels, everyone instantly became excited.
So they each found a place to sit down in this old office building, and then spontaneously took out a few glasses from under the coffee table.
"Come on! Let us see what this tea that costs one thousand yuan per ounce looks like."
Everyone looked at each other, their expectations for the tea and their thoughts on the possibility that Old Sun had been cheated all flashed in their eyes, everything was self-evident.
Old Sun has been with them for a long time, so how could he not see that they were short-sighted? At this moment, he snorted coldly:
"Wait, I'll boil a kettle of water first."
The water was boiled, and Lao Zhou was dissatisfied that the cups used to entertain guests at home were not transparent enough, so he simply took them to the sink and washed them repeatedly with toothpaste.
When everything was ready, except for using a thermometer to test the water temperature, everyone was already getting impatient, so Lao Sun finally opened the sealed bag.
As he pinched the tea leaves, his distressed hands were shaking. The double pull between face and money made him suddenly feel 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 freshly roasted dry tea, is it fragrant?"
Now it has not 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 for dry tea to have this flavor is already quite outstanding.
The tea drinker was already turning the transparent glass back and forth, looking at the strips of dry tea and sniffing them, and finally came to the conclusion:
"Old Sun, maybe your thousand dollars was not wasted."
Local people have a habit of washing Maojian tea before drinking it. They put dry tea into a cup, then pour one-third of the cup with water, shake it twice, and then pour out the water.
Next comes the formal brewing.
Normally, this kind of tea washing water would be poured out directly, but today, everyone smelled the fresh aroma and watched Lao Sun pour out the first cup of tea in each cup and then fill it up in a new glass, and no one said anything.
When it is brewed, the tea leaves roll and stretch under the flow of water, and the buds stand upright. The green color is set against the spring-like grass green in the cup, and the fresh tea fragrance fills the room...
Everyone took a long breath.
“It smells so good!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the door being opened with a click.
Everyone's heart immediately shuddered.
As soon as Old Sun's wife walked in with a basket of vegetables, she was startled by the several grown men sitting in a row in the narrow living room.
"Ouch."
She screamed.
Old Sun also said "ouch" in his heart and subconsciously moved the teacup in front of him, as if this could reduce his presence.
Old Sun's wife laughed and said, "Why are you here? You didn't even tell me in advance... It just so happens that I still have two bundles of astragalus I bought this morning. You can stay for dinner at home tonight!"
We are all retired middle-aged people. Who doesn't know how much money a pound of tea that costs one thousand yuan per catty can make at home
Everyone also became interested, but had no interest in Astragalus membranaceus. They just awkwardly moved their tea cups closer to themselves.
This movement seemed to make me even more embarrassed.
After all, one tael costs one thousand yuan. Now they are sharing it among themselves. Even if Old Sun was stingy and only covered the bottom of the cup, there is only a pitiful handful left.
At most, it must be more than 30 grams, right
If you calculate it this way, this bite costs dozens of dollars.
There were many people at home, and Old Sun's wife didn't buy enough vegetables. She put down the basket and quickly tightened the door handle to get ready to go out:
"You guys chat first, I'll go buy some braised dishes and have something to eat tonight."
Seeing her body turn and the door handle turn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the sighing sound seemed too obvious in the room. Old Sun's wife turned around and sniffed:
"I wanted to ask you this morning, Old Sun, where did you get such fragrant tea? How much did it cost?"
