At Old Sun's home, the situation is like this—
The old grandson’s wife has to send her granddaughter to school every morning, and then she has to go with a few aunts to do free "health care" projects.
This hobby has lasted for many years, from the original Sun God to the later Quanjian, and now something called Xiangmei Neijie.
Old Sun followed her hobbies at the beginning, but later he became gradually wary and finally let it go. It was all because no matter what his wife did, she could always be the extraordinary woman who didn't spend a penny among thousands of people!
However, this would waste time, so the task of buying groceries for the family has been given to Lao Sun for many years.
When he first bought some vegetables, he was often scolded because he didn't know how to bargain. Later, he could tell at a glance whether the pork was good or not, and whether the edamame in the shell was tender or not.
However, men always spend money lavishly. If it weren't for Lao Sun's wife controlling his grocery spending every day, he would want to try anything new and would be considered a trendy man.
Just the other day, he saw a girl selling wild vegetables and a group of people of his age queuing there. He was curious and spent twenty yuan to join in the fun.
From then on, things got out of control!
From scanning the QR code to join the group, to actively responding, and then to waiting at a fixed point every day, this dish is now indispensable to my home.
Because of this dish, Lao Sun became a die-hard fan. When Song Tan sent tea leaves to the group that day, he instantly became excited and spent a huge amount of money to buy a few ounces.
Of course, I tossed and turned at night and it’s not that I didn’t regret it, but I’m a grown man, the money has already been given, so what can I do if I don’t regret it
This regret turned into ecstasy immediately when I just opened the corner of the paper and smelled it in the vegetable market the next day.
In short, it is really hard to explain the coincidence and fate in detail.
But putting aside all the above, it is an indisputable fact that the tea costs one thousand yuan per two catties. Now, facing his wife's seemingly casual question, Lao Sun's face instantly turned bitter.
Just then, an old fellow sitting on the sofa spoke up:
"Well... ah this..."
He held the cup steadily in one hand and stood up:
"Sister-in-law, stop worrying. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home in the evening, so I have to go back now."
Then he looked at the tea in his hand casually: "This tea is very fragrant. It's already been brewed. It would be a waste if I don't drink it and leave it at home... I'll take it away first! I'll bring you the cup later."
As he spoke, he ran away, his other hand carefully protecting the cup to prevent it from getting stained with dust.
With his lead, the remaining few looked around and stood up instantly, and then said politely:
"Sister-in-law, um... you said... that thing at my house... that thing, right... that thing... I'm going to go back first."
But in the blink of an eye, the group had left completely, and all the teacups in the house were taken away.
All that was left for Old Sun was the cup of tea in front of him and a cup of water for washing the tea.
Old Sun's wife was smiling at first, but as soon as the door was closed, her face instantly drooped.
"Look! Just buy tea leaves, why are you hiding it?"
"I just muttered a few words that year, and you really remembered them? Drink as much as you want, you only drink a few kilograms of tea a year!"
She rolled her eyes and said, "It's only three to five hundred yuan a pound. How can I not give it to you?"
Hearing this, Old Sun was happy at first, but then became discouraged.
At this moment, the buds in front of him were fresh and tender, the soup was clear and green, and the fragrance was refreshing.
But for him, the surprise and anticipation of drinking good tea are gone.
He sat there with a droopy look, hesitating:
"Well... well... I have some taste in tea, and it's not good to always drink cheap tea..."
The more he said this, the more worried Old Sun's wife felt.
At this moment, she suddenly stared at him: "You are not really extravagant, buying it for a thousand yuan per kilogram?"
Old Sun breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded hurriedly: "About... one thousand yuan is about right."
One thousand dollars.
Old Sun's wife was obviously distressed.
She walked over, took the cup of tea and smelled it again, and finally nodded:
"That's right. You get what you pay for. If the tea is of this quality, a thousand yuan is not a bad price."
Then he opened his mouth and blew into it, then took a small sip. Then his eyes lit up and he took the teacup away without hesitation!
"It's delicious. Let me try this cup. By the way, don't keep this good tea for yourself. Pack some for me tomorrow and I'll ask my old sisters to try it. They took me to get a pedicure today."
Old Sun had a sad face as he held the cup of tea water left for him, as if he could already see the tea leaves flying away.
Downstairs, several men standing there holding teacups looked at each other, took one last sniff of the fragrance, felt the wild spring breeze outside, and said hesitantly:
"How about... why don't we drink this cup first? We can take some home with us."
Everyone blew on the tea, and then took a sip without hesitation.
“Hmm!”
…
late at night.
Perhaps it was because of the tea that Old Sun tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night, and felt very energetic.
He glanced at his wife lying motionless on the bed, and then remembered that the little tea he had left would have to be distributed. He felt heartbroken and simply got up quietly and started rummaging through the freezer in the kitchen in the middle of the night.
The small bag of tea was taken out again. He grabbed a bag from the kitchen and put it into the bag in small handfuls. The more he divided the tea, the more distressed he felt.
Finally, after thinking it over and over again, I couldn't come to a conclusion, so I gave away half of the tea and poured the other half back.
But if you look closely, if this happens, there will only be a small amount for your wife to take out tomorrow, and people will definitely laugh at her.
So we started to divide it again.
Just as I was struggling with the idea, my cell phone suddenly rang.
When I opened it, I saw that my old friend had sent a message in the group:
"Old Sun, where did you buy that tea? Wow, it gives me energy tonight, and I feel like I can go over the mountains!"
With this action, four or five people in the group all jumped out.
It’s just that they are old and it’s late at night, so typing is inconvenient, so they mostly send voice messages:
"You guys can't sleep either? Oh, this tea is really strong. I've been drinking it for years and it never affects me."
"That's right! Old Sun, where did you buy this tea? Take us there quickly!"
Old Sun was instantly proud and sent a voice message:
"That's it! It costs one thousand yuan for two ounces. It's not good tea. How can I be willing to spend so much?"
"I'm telling you, I told you before that there's a restaurant in the market that sells delicious vegetables, but you didn't believe me. If you had stayed here last night, I guarantee you wouldn't have been able to put down your bowls!"
At the end, his tone became a little excited.
But when he listened carefully, there was no other movement in the room, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just at this moment!
I saw a figure walking slowly in the backlight of the living room:
"Old Sun, is this tea 1,000 yuan per ounce, or a pound?"
