Chapter 2113 Testing each other
"Live towards the sun, soar to the sky." The spring water on the red clay stove has boiled. Mrs. Mei takes out the tea cake and puts it into the pot to simmer. Every movement is orderly. "The fragrance and beauty of the heights can only be understood by those who have seen it."
You Huan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Madam Mei is talking about Xiang?"
"Of course it's incense." Madam Mei's voice was also very pleasant to hear. It wasn't clear and melodious, but rather low and soft with a hint of tenderness. "In my place, I burn incense for everyone I see."
This sentence is an implicit wish for the two men to have a successful career and rise to the top, which is much more elegant than superficial flattery.
You Huan sneered: "Mrs. Mei is quite straightforward."
It turns out that all businessmen are snobs.
If an ordinary businessman came to flatter him, he would not respond at all, but this woman was so beautiful.
"Even ordinary nobles cannot smell this fragrance." Madam Mei said softly, "Both of you are blessed with good fortune. Especially this Lord You——"
She looked at You Huan and smiled: "——There is a ball of purple air on the forehead, and good fortune will shine on you soon. There will be great things coming soon."
You Huan felt relieved after hearing this. He laughed and said, "Thank you for your good words. You are the first one to say this. If what you said is true, I will book Su Mao Qing Xi and treat everyone to seven days of good tea and seven days of good opera."
Mrs. Mei bowed her head and said, "It's a deal."
Looking at her appearance, she seemed very confident.
The incense cakes have been lit outside and are now placed in the incense burner. The fragrance will spread quickly.
When people mention plum blossoms, they always think of their subtle and sharp fragrance, but the scent of this flower is light, while the base notes are heavy and even a little cold and hard.
To give an example, it is like a person opening the door of a warm house and stepping into the ice and snow. The first breath of air he takes in is so cold that his lungs are filled with ice.
You Su immediately choked: "Wow, that's so choking!"
Madam Mei continued to make tea without any hurry: "Tune your breath, it will be ready soon."
You Huan stared at her and commented on her, from her hairpin to her cloud shoes.
He was in a high position, and even a man might not be able to withstand such undisguised scrutiny. However, Mrs. Mei seemed not to notice it. Her hands were very steady and not a drop of tea spilled out.
After they took a few more puffs of the incense, they no longer felt as choked as before. They felt as if ice and snow were soaking their bodies, and their minds became clear.
The weather in Moudu has been hot and stuffy recently, making people feel irritable. However, the two puffs of Lingyunxiang helped to calm the irritability. They suddenly felt that the temperature around them had cooled down.
"Hey, this fragrant fruit is really good. It makes me feel calm and cool all of a sudden." You Su was curious, "Where is this recipe from? How come I have never heard of it before?"
"The base is from my hometown, and I made some innovations based on the base."
You Su asked naturally, "Where is Mrs. Mei's hometown?"
"Just call me Wu Niang." After the hot tea was ready, Madam Mei took a few herbs from the plate, crushed them with a wooden mortar, and then put a group of herbal powders into two cups, and then poured filtered hot tea over them. "Xue Youcheng, a small place in the countryside, unknown."
The tea made two standard swirls in the porcelain cup and it was ready.
The first one, Mei Wu Niang handed it to You Huan with both hands: "Master You, please."
You Huan's gaze naturally fell on her hand.
Mei Wu Niang's fingers are pointed, slender and beautiful, and her nails are a very healthy pink. She first applies a light layer of polish and then sprinkles a little gold powder.
This echoed the gold thread on her skirt, which flickered under the light of the spore lamp.
You Huan took the cup, and their fingers inevitably touched. Mei Wuniang's nails accidentally scratched the top of his palm. Of course, it didn't hurt, but it was a little itchy.
That touch of shiny gold powder seemed to stay in the man's eyes.
But there was no expression of surprise on either of their faces, and Mei Wu Niang immediately went to offer the second cup of tea to You Su.
"Xueyou City is not a small place." You Huan raised his cup, sniffed the tea fragrance, and then took a sip. "My mentor, Master Tao Ying, lived in Xueyou City after he retired."
"Oh, Tao's Mansion, deep in Xing Street." Mei Wuniang thought for a moment, "I heard that his house was a gift from the Emperor, and it is the largest and most magnificent in Xueyou City. I passed by Tao's Mansion when I was young and was deeply impressed by it."
You Huan then asked, "I heard that Xue Youcheng's recent writing meetings were all hosted by my mentor?"
"I'm not sure about that." Mei Wuniang said with some regret, "I left Xueyou City when I was very young, and I only went back twice after I grew up."
You Su took two sips of tea and changed the subject: "What's added to this tea? It tastes a bit oily and crispy, a bit like butter tea."
Mei Wuniang smiled and said, "The toad venom with the Leiyin arc toad added is different from the ordinary toad venom. It is non-toxic, but has the effect of cooling and detoxifying, and relieving inflammation and boils."
"Not bad, not bad. If you drink too much, you might get addicted." You Su was very supportive of the beauty.
Mei Wu Niang then prepared a second kind of medicinal tea for them.
Although there were more ingredients, You Huan could tell right away this time: "Agastache rugosa?"
"Great." Mei Wuniang clapped her hands, tapping them lightly with her fingertips in an elegant gesture. "Master You, if you drink a few more sips, you will learn my recipe."
You Huan smiled: "Mei Wu Niang looks a little different than she did a few days ago."
Mei Wuniang was startled: "A few days ago?"
You Huan looked at her forehead and said only seven words: "Miss Sun, the busy city scared the horse."
There was a flower ornament on Mei Wuniang's forehead, in the shape of a plum blossom, which just covered the wound and made her look even more beautiful.
When she heard this, she blinked twice and suddenly realized: "Oh... So Lord You was also there! I'm sorry for making you laugh at my embarrassment that day."
What does that mean? At that time, her eyes clearly swept over You Huan, but she didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Who can remember the background board?
"That day happened to be my late husband's memorial day." Mei Wuniang sighed, "I went to buy some of his favorite foods as offerings, but I didn't expect such an accident would happen on the streets of the capital."
You Huan smiled and said, "It doesn't happen often. You just suffered an unexpected disaster."
Mei Wu Niang continued on her own: "To be honest, I have been having bad luck since I took over this old teahouse."
You Su finally got the chance to interrupt: "Is this teahouse very cheap?"
"Yes, I just came to Moudu and I don't know anyone here. Yazi said there happened to be a ready-made teahouse here, which is large and cheap." Mei Wuniang shook her head, "After I took a look, I knew there must be something wrong here. Alas, the environment here is too good and the facilities are too new. Not only is the building newly built, but the furniture and signs are also brand new, and even the entire team of cooks and waiters have been trained."
Since everything was ready, money and people had been invested, why did the original owner suddenly stop opening the teahouse?
"On the eve of the opening, the previous owner of this place was killed, and the opening plan fell through." You Su shook her head, "Three years ago, the previous owner also died suddenly at home for no reason, so... this place is cheap."
