…
There is still a rare period of warm autumn before winter. There is a unique tea garden in the southern suburbs of London. The tender green tea leaves will also release their last tea aroma of the whole year during this period, and then they will be like most other vegetation. It enters a dormant winter and will grow again next spring.
In this warm spring, the tea ladies have already started picking before dawn. With the dew at dawn, these autumn teas will be even more fragrant and rich than those in spring. They are often welcomed by the most durable and tea-loving people.
It doesn’t take too long to make the finished product. As soon as the finished tea comes out, Mo Jiaxing is already waiting. After buying the first batch of finished tea, he will take it back and make some small improvements so that it can be used as a store. main focus.
Mo Jiaxing bought a gardening and landscaping store, renovated it, and finally turned it into a not-so-remote tea shop garden. Basically all the tea sold in the store were selected by Mo Jiaxing himself from all over the UK. People and Chinese people have one thing in common, that is, they like to drink tea.
There is a chamber of commerce in Fanxue Mountain here in London. After living here for a long time, Mo Jiaxing began to like this place. It just so happened that he was also engaged in gardening and logistics, and he opened a tea garden on the edge of London's bustling urban area. You can enrich your life.
Mo Jiaxing has been busy working on this small tea shop garden for a long time. If he hadn't suddenly gone to Greece, this tea house would have opened earlier.
"Uncle, do you have many customers for your pastries? Why are there so many this time?" asked a British girl in an apron in the dessert house.
"Not a guest, not a guest." Mo Jiaxing said with a smile on his face.
Mo Jiaxing will not entertain guests today because Mo Fan said yesterday that he would come over and would bring his two second daughters-in-law with him. Mo Jiaxing made various preparations in advance. First, he put up a sign saying he would not be open this afternoon. Then there were all kinds of delicious food and drinks, and the time was a little tighter. Mo Jiaxing was in a very happy mood.
…
There is only one person in the entire teahouse, Mo Jiaxing, who does everything from tea mixing to service. The small teahouse itself is not particularly big, and there are not many guests. With so many tables a day, there is basically no loss.
At first, there were only a few customers, but any shop requires patience and concentration. After Mo Jiaxing took care of the entire teahouse bit by bit, making it unique and warm, people who lived nearby would come there no matter how busy they were. Take a seat in the store.
By now, there were more and more customers, and Mo Jiaxing was afraid that he wouldn't be able to greet them, so he specifically posted a sign saying he was closed today.
“Ding ding ding ding~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The sweet silver bell rang, and Mo Jiaxing, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the sound. He immediately raised his head and looked at the door covered with violet vines. At a glance, he saw a head poking in, and then looking around like a thief. looking at.
"You brat, stop looking, this is it!" Mo Jiaxing hurried to the window and shouted towards the door.
"I thought I went to the wrong door, okay, Dad, I couldn't tell that you have such amazing artistic talent. You have the face of a rough man like a silly uncle, but the heart of a noble girl like a socialite!" Mo Fan walked in, not knowing why. I took a special look at the soles of my feet, worried that the dirt under my shoes would stain the little holy soil.
The entrance is a very comfortable garden, with a few tables and chairs placed very casually, a few small ginkgo trees with lush leaves, surrounded by flowers, the color perfectly matches the entire tea garden, and the light fragrance and the aroma of brewing tea are even more... Just right to attract people...
As soon as I walked in and felt it for a while, I felt like I wanted to stay here all day without going anywhere, completely letting myself go and immersing myself in this comfort.
The kitchen and cabin are all modern floor-to-ceiling windows that can be seen in at a glance. Chinese people don’t like to show the kitchen to guests, but the British prefer open kitchens. Guests can see your entire process of processing ingredients. Mo Jiaxing has obviously done some in-depth research and made the overall style more open-style.
"Dad, let me help you, we have a lot of people here." Ye Xinxia said.
"No, no, no, you all sit tight. This is my territory. I have the final say. Sit down, I can handle it!" Mo Jiaxing hurriedly stopped him.
After saying these words, Mo Jiaxing had already prepared a large tray.
This large tray was covered with blue carved cloth, with a hot white ceramic teapot on it, and simple teacups surrounding the teapot. Mo Jiaxing safely carried them to Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue , Ye Xinxia were sitting at the table.
"I tasted more than a hundred snacks before finally choosing these snacks. They taste very good. Even an old man like me who doesn't like sweets likes them." Mo Jiaxing laid out the tea snacks that he had prepared before.
In just a few minutes, the table became extremely rich, with hot new green tea and a variety of pastries.
"Errrr!!!"
"Xingxingxing!!!"
"Bah~~~~~~~~~!"
"Hiss~~~~~~~~~"
Next to the three people, there is another larger table, and the table and chairs are covered with various little holy spirits.
A porcelain doll covered in flames was the first to protest.
We are all babies, why don’t we give the babies food first!
The white-haired Cerebellum is also tapping the table with its paws, showing a fierce driver who will cause trouble if he doesn't give him food.
The little moon moth phoenix surrounded the teahouse and seemed to particularly like the smell here, but after smelling the fragrant pastries, they finally joined the noisy army.
The two big brothers, Totem Black Snake and Haidong Qingshen, are relatively calm. Although they have also become minis at this time, they look like a few calm and calm babies in the kindergarten. They are watching these calmly. The little guy who hasn't grown up is making trouble!
"Come on, come on, it's only been a few minutes, you are so hungry!" Mo Jiaxing smiled and brought a larger tray, which contained various delicacies, as well as Little White Tiger's favorite barbecue.
For a moment, the babies cheered and began to sweep around the dining table. There was obviously still one in front of them, but they had to grab another one from others. It seemed that the taste would be better!
Everyone was amused by these snacks and kept laughing.
"Ning Xue, you should eat more. I haven't seen you for a few days and you have lost a lot of weight." Mo Jiaxing said with some distress, while adding tea to Mu Ningxue.
"Yes." Mu Ningxue nodded seriously.
"It's so good to see you all in peace, so good..." Mo Jiaxing said sincerely.
Everyone is safe, which is the most important thing to Mo Jiaxing. As for the big rules of the world, how can Mo Jiaxing care about them.
Mo Fan felt a little ashamed when he heard this.
After struggling for so long, what excites Mo Fan the most is the comfort and tranquility at this time. The family can enjoy the time without being chased, oppressed, or tied down by anything without being disturbed.
…
After eating and drinking, everyone sat together and chatted. The little totems were also playing and chasing each other in the yard. From time to time, some guests came to the door and also poked their heads inside.
At this time, Mo Jiaxing would always stand up and repeat the words seriously: "I'm sorry, the courtyard is closed today."
"Is the store booked?" Customers always ask without giving up.
"No, it's a family gathering."
"Have a good time then."
"Thanks."
After the guests left, Mo Jiaxing would sit down again and continue the topic.
"Dad, we are going back to China tomorrow, don't you plan to go back with us?" Mo Fan asked.
Many people came in one afternoon, some of them even came across a city area. It seemed that business here was really good, and Mo Jiaxing obviously planned to continue running this small teahouse.
"No, if you have something to do, it's the same everywhere. What's more, Fanxueshan Chamber of Commerce is in the next block. They are all acquaintances, and it's quite lively here. During the Chinese New Year, I will go back with them." Mo Jiaxing smiled. said.
"Okay." Mo Fan nodded.
Being able to be busy with something you love in one place is also a small happiness. Mo Fan doesn't have to make trouble for his father. In terms of life, Mo Jiaxing is much better than a young man like himself. Sometimes I quite envy Mo Jiaxing's mentality.
…
Mo Jiaxing did not let the children help. After sending Mo Fan and his two second wives away, Mo Jiaxing played some light music and took his time to clean up the entire small tea garden.
It was already night, and the cold air from London came with it. Mo Jiaxing was not in a hurry to go back. He made himself a cup of hot black tea, and then began to prune the gardening left by the previous family.
The night sky in London is also full of fog, and stars are rarely visible. The hazy moonlight and turbid starlight fall down, but they are often buried by the flowers and scenery of the entire city, or the city's twinkling night light will dye the starry sky some. Special light dust.
“Ding ding ding ding~~~~~~~~~~”
The doorbell rang, and Mo Jiaxing looked at the door with some confusion.
There should be no customers at this point.
"It's closing." Mo Jiaxing said to the people outside the door who had not yet walked in.
No one answered, but Mo Jiaxing didn't hear the man's footsteps leaving.
Mo Jiaxing thought the other party didn't hear him, so he put down the machete, wiped the dirt on his hands, and walked towards the door.
At the door, a thin figure stood there, with slightly messy hair hanging down in front of her shoulders. She was a woman who looked a little haggard. Her black eyes flashed a hint of nervousness when Mo Jiaxing walked over, but He soon appeared calm again.
"Hello... hello." The woman spoke in Chinese.
"Hello." Mo Jiaxing looked at her politely and noticed that the woman was wearing a dusty men's leather jacket that seemed a little loose on her body.
The woman was a little afraid of the cold. She pulled up her leather jacket with her hands. After hesitating for a while, she whispered: "Are you hiring here?"
Mo Jiaxing didn't have the idea of recruiting people at first. The store is small and one person is enough. But recently, the number of customers has really begun to increase. If he had to order the ingredients himself, it would be really hard to cope with it.
"Come in and talk, it's windy outside." Mo Jiaxing invited her into the yard. There was a flower wall in the yard, which was much warmer than outside.
"Thanks."
Sitting in the yard, Mo Jiaxing walked to the kitchen and was about to make a pot of simple tea to warm up the woman. He thought that some people might not like to drink such strong tea flavor, so he asked casually: "What do you want to drink?" , I also have scented tea here."
"Does Jasmine have it?"
Mo Jiaxing was stunned, and after a few seconds he answered: "Yes, some..."
A pot of hot scented tea was served, and the fragrance of jasmine slowly spread.
Mo Jiaxing waited for the woman to drink tea and warm up, and then asked: "Why do you want to work in my store?"
"I don't know, I just feel like it's quite friendly here..."
"It may be a bit hard here. After all, I haven't hired anyone else, so I have to do a lot of things myself," Mo Jiaxing said.
"I am very hard-working, but my memory is a bit poor and I will forget things. The doctor told me that if I continue to forget the people and things around me, I may have to go back to the hospital to receive care. I don't like staying in the hospital. I also... I don't have money to hire a caregiver..." The woman's voice became smaller and smaller.
Mo Jiaxing looked at the woman and then at the old-looking leather jacket.
"Okay, you can come to work tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Well, wherever you live, it's best to live closer."
"It's very close, the hospital you can see from here."
“…”
Mo Jiaxing felt that he should go to the hospital to confirm whether this woman had escaped secretly.
The woman gave Mo Jiaxing a phone number, and Mo Jiaxing called for consultation.
Sure enough, it was a nursing hospital. The doctor explained the situation to Mo Jiaxing, saying that the woman had not had symptoms of persistent forgetfulness in recent months and was considered recovered and could be discharged. If she had a regular place to work, the hospital would Naturally more assured.
"I've asked, then you come to work tomorrow. I will find someone to arrange a place for you, okay?" Mo Jiaxing asked.
"Can."
"Do you have any other requests?" Mo Jiaxing asked.
"there is none left."
"See you tomorrow." Mo Jiaxing said.
"See you tomorrow." A heartfelt smile appeared on the woman's face.
