After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money

Li Huairen and County Magistrate Chen brought gifts. County Magistrate Chen gave Su Yu a famous painting from the previous dynasty. Li Huairen also wrote a name for the Su family's house and made a plaque and brought it over. These two things were just right to congratulate the Su family on their new home.

Everyone sat around the table, tasting the tea Deng Qiyue had carefully prepared. Everyone praised the teas, especially the Guzhu Zisun.

Li Huairen couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great tea! No wonder some people say 'a fortune is enough to buy out Gu Zhuchun'. After tasting it today, I found that it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Guzhu Zisun has a light and pleasant aroma, a refreshing and sharp taste, and a particularly prominent fresh feeling. There is almost no bitterness. The tea soup is smooth and silky, and the sweet aftertaste is relatively ordinary, but its throat-soothing flavor is excellent. Compared with Longjing tea, its aroma is more fresh and elegant, the water is more delicate, and the sweet aftertaste is longer. In addition, its aroma is richer and more diverse, especially the delicate orchid fragrance.

This kind of tea is very rare, because the tea trees in the tea garden grow naturally and the branches are sparse. Spring tea is only picked once a year, without fertilizer or pest control, only branch pruning (old tea trees over two meters tall are pruned, and thick new branches and buds sprout next year).

Moreover, it grows in the crevices of rocks on both sides of streams with many rotten rocks, which is moist, dark, and where humus is concentrated. This increases the trouble of picking and the number of them is even more scarce, so it becomes very precious.

After a pot of tea, Li Huairen smacked his lips and said with a lingering feeling: "Ziyue, for the sake of Gu Zhu Zisun, I won't bother with you so much. After all, our relationship is there, right? But, you are really something! You haven't come to see me for such a long time since you came back. Do you still regard me as your teacher?"

Hearing this, Deng Qiyue not only did not show any apology, but instead raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile, and teased: "Haha, sir, please stop pretending! I see that you are simply worried that you won't be able to drink this high-quality tea in the future, so you don't care about it with me, right?"

Seeing this, Su Yu secretly said in his heart that it was not good. How could Deng Qiyue be so tactless and bring up such a topic! He quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Oh, Ziyue got such good tea, and the first thing he thought of was to share it with you. But this tea is really rare, and Ziyue also spent a lot of effort to get it. Sir, you are a generous person, so don't argue with him!" After saying that, he did not forget to secretly pull Deng Qiyue's sleeve, with a hint of warning in his eyes, indicating that he should stop talking nonsense, so as not to annoy Li Huairen.

Deng Qiyue then realized that he had gone too far and quickly changed his words, "Hey, sir, please don't blame me. I was quick-witted and said the wrong thing. Don't worry, in the future, whenever I get this kind of good tea, I will definitely send a portion to you first as a token of my respect."

Li Huairen knew that Deng Qiyue might not be willing to give him the good tea, but he really liked this tea. As for face, it didn't seem so important at the moment. So he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Well, that's good enough. I'll forgive your rudeness for the time being, as you are thoughtful."

When County Magistrate Chen saw that Li Huairen had received a promise, he became anxious and asked quickly, "Brother Ziyue, what about me..."

Deng Qiyue smiled slightly, looked at County Magistrate Chen and said slowly: "Sir Chen, if you want to taste this fine tea, you may as well go to the master to ask for some. But you also know that this kind of tea is extremely precious and rare. If you accidentally use it to entertain your superiors one day, I am afraid that your superiors will have different ideas about it."

Although Deng Qiyue's words were not explicit, the deep meaning was self-evident. He was obviously reminding County Magistrate Chen that with his current official rank and status, if he possessed such a rare item, he should present it to his superiors or even send it to the palace.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought, his face becoming somewhat ugly. After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself: "This..."

Seeing that County Magistrate Chen still seemed hesitant, Deng Qiyue continued to persuade him, "Master Chen, you must think carefully. The production of tea is limited, only a little every year. If we pay tribute to the palace, then we will never be able to enjoy it in the future, right?"

County Magistrate Chen was reluctant to give up such good tea, but he was worried that officials from other places would offer it first. So he frowned and asked, "Brother Ziyue is right, but if we don't send it, won't the officials in Guzhu send it?"

Deng Qiyue curled his lips and retorted: "If they really gave it to me, would I still have a chance to buy this good tea?"

When County Magistrate Chen heard this, he was stunned, his mouth slightly opened, but he didn't know what to say. He stared at the other party for a long time, his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, and finally he could only shake his head gently.

"Master Chen, look... this Guzhu Purple Bamboo Shoot is not called Xuyang Purple Bamboo Shoot. Even if you want to give it away, it shouldn't be you who delivers it in person, right?"

Qin Caichun also said: "Sir, please think carefully for your own sake."

The speaker seemed quite convincing. County Magistrate Chen nodded and agreed: "Yes, that's true." In fact, he thought to himself that he did have some ideas. After all, he had been in the position of county magistrate for seven years and was eager to have the opportunity to work in other places and experience a different working environment.

Seeing that Deng Qiyue and County Magistrate Chen were finishing their conversation, Li Huairen shouted at the right time: "Hey, come and have a look! This tea tastes quite good. Ziyue, come and have a look. Do you know what kind of tea this is?"

"Oh, that's Shouzhou Huangya." Deng Qiyue responded.

Li Huairen said slowly: "Of the Huangya tea produced in Shouzhou, the best ones are those produced in Huoshan. And in Huoshan, the best ones are those produced in Jinheshan and Jintoushan in Dahaping, Jinzhuping in Jinwu River, and Wumijian in Yaozhou, which are the so-called 'Three Jins and One Wu'. The Huangya tea produced in these places is of excellent quality." As he spoke, he revealed his profound attainments in tea culture.

Su Yu quickly stood up and responded, "Then let's move to the dining room! It's really a pleasure to gather here with you all to drink tea today! But I know very little about the tea ceremony, so I still need to learn a lot from you, sir!" After that, he looked at the man called sir with a smile, expressing his sincere respect and admiration.

Although Su Yu himself loves to drink tea, he knows that he is not an expert in this field. However, as long as it is a good tea with a pleasant taste, he will be happy. People who really understand tea, such as Li Huairen and Chen County Magistrate, often have a special liking for specific tea varieties. For example, Li Huairen is obsessed with Guzhu Zisun, and so is Chen County Magistrate.
