I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Grandma Su and her eldest daughter-in-law prepared a large table of dishes.

In Jiangxi Province, most dishes are spicy, but to cater to Su Xing and the two guests' tastes, the spiciness of these dishes has been reduced considerably.

Su Xing ate as much as she wanted; it was truly a satisfying meal.

Huang Wenwen and Li Yinuo also ate quite a lot.

"Grandma Su, Auntie, your cooking is so delicious!" Huang Wenwen praised.

Li Yinuo nodded and said, "Mmm! It smells so good! The spiciness is just right, it's very appetizing!"

Grandma Su and her aunt were very happy to be praised for their cooking skills.

Grandma Su smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more!"

The eldest aunt took a pair of serving chopsticks and kept putting delicious food into their bowls.

After dinner, the Su family, Huang Wenwen, and Li Yinuo sat on the first floor chatting.

Grandpa Su took out a brick of dark tea, broke off a piece, and brewed it for everyone to drink.

"In the evening, drink some highly fermented tea. It's mild and won't upset your stomach, and it'll also help you sleep better."

Huang Wenwen and Li Yinuo both used the tea table etiquette taught by Su Xing to perform a finger-tapping salute to Grandpa Su.

When Grandpa Su saw them bowing to him in such a proper manner, he immediately smiled.

Afterwards, the girls picked up their teacups and drank tea.

After they had tasted the tea, Grandpa Su asked with a smile, "How was it?"

Huang Wenwen savored it carefully and said, "It's very mellow and sweet."

Li Yinuo thought for a moment and said, "It has a... um... woody scent, and it's also moisturizing..."

Grandpa Su then looked at his eldest granddaughter.

Su Xing said, "The tea soup is very smooth and mellow, with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste. It has some woody aroma, as well as aged aroma and a slight medicinal aroma. Grandpa, you must have stored this tea for several years, right?"

Grandpa Su nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's been there for almost seven years."

Huang Wenwen asked curiously, "What kind of tea is this?"

She's been hanging out with Su Xing for the past few years and has drunk a lot of tea. Su Xing has also been giving tea classes to people in his studio recently, so she knows the basics of the six major tea categories and can tell which type of tea she's drinking.

At this moment, she could taste that this tea was black tea, but she couldn't tell what kind of tea it was.

Su Xing smiled and said, "This is dark tea made by my grandfather himself. It uses old leaves from our tea garden. It's a relatively niche dark tea, not available on the market. We just drink it ourselves or give it as a gift. You can call it Yunwu Dark Tea."

Li Yinuo asked in surprise, "Isn't Lushan Yunwu tea a green tea? How can it be made into black tea?"

Huang Wenwen said, "I heard Su Xing say before that tea is classified according to its processing method. Although this tea uses Lushan Yunwu tea leaves, it is made using the black tea processing method, so it is black tea, right?"

“That’s right!” Su Xing affirmed Huang Wenwen’s words. “Indeed, no matter which region the tea leaves come from, if you use green tea processing techniques to make tea, it’s green tea; if you use black tea processing techniques to make tea, it’s black tea.”

Grandpa Su said, "Tomorrow, I'll let you try the black tea and yellow tea made from the tea leaves in our tea garden."

Huang Wenwen and Li Yinuo both became interested.

"Then we're in for a treat!"

"Yeah."

Grandma Su glanced at the old man speechlessly: With someone supporting him, this old fellow is about to start showing off again…

Uncle Su smiled and said, "By the way, the tea you picked today, after you spread it out thinly, you need to kill the green as soon as possible. You can't leave it overnight, or it will spoil. I'll have the tea factory workers help you with that in a bit."

Huang Wenwen and Li Yinuo's eyes widened when they heard what Uncle Su said.

"Huh? Can't I stay overnight?"

"Then... we can't make tea tomorrow, can we?"

Uncle Su said, "It's alright. If you're going to make tea tomorrow, you can use the tea leaves that are already in the factory."

Both girls felt a little regretful.

Huang Wenwen said, "Then how about... we get up early tomorrow morning and join the tea pickers to pick some more tea?"

Seeing Huang Wenwen and Li Yinuo's expressions, Su Xing understood that they wanted to personally participate in every step of the tea-making process, from picking the leaves to drying the tea.

She glanced at the time and said, "It's a little past ten o'clock today, so the tea leaves we picked should be ready to be spread out. If you're not in a hurry to sleep, we can go to the tea factory in a bit and get the fixing and rolling done. Fixing usually only takes about five minutes, and rolling takes about fifteen minutes, so it won't take much time. As for the remaining steps, we don't need to do them tonight; we can do them the next day."

Upon hearing this, Huang Wenwen and Li Yinuo's eyes lit up.

"Is...this okay?"

Is it convenient?

Su Xing said, "Sure, there's no problem with that."

Grandpa Su nodded and said, "That works too, let's go then."

Uncle Su said, "I'll drive you there."

Su Xing quickly said, "Uncle, you've been busy all day, so don't bother with us. Just give me the car keys."

Uncle Su hesitated for only a moment before saying, "That's fine, just drive carefully."

Su Xing said, "Uncle, don't worry, I drive very steadily."

Uncle Su tossed the car keys to his niece.

At this moment, Grandpa Su stood up and said, "I'll go to the tea factory with you."

Su Xing said, "Sir, you're home too, right? Get some rest."

Grandpa Su, however, was still worried. "Your own tea-making skills are just so-so. Can you really guide your two kids?"

wake:"……"

She touched her nose; she was indeed a novice, her tea-making skills were mediocre, and she was far too unqualified to be a teacher for others.

She immediately added, "The tea factory still has tea masters on duty, so why don't we learn from them?"

"Can their skill level compare to your grandfather's?" Old Master Su pursed his lips and said, "Besides, I'm getting old and don't need much sleep. I'm not sleepy now, let's go."

Grandma Su then said, "Let your grandfather go with you. Otherwise, he won't feel at ease at home and won't be able to sleep."

In the end, Grandpa Su went to the tea factory with the three girls.
