Chapter 251: Even More Surprising
couldn't hold his eyelids open and had fallen asleep in Xiao Jingyu's arms. 。Unable to bear seeing the mother and child running back and forth, Xiao Zheng said: "Well then, I'll trouble you both." 。S...An Ruyi said, "Everything has been going smoothly recently, so there's nothing special that needs the town to help coordinate." 。Because I was too busy lately and very tired, I want to take a break today and then continue moving forward. 。Xiao Zheng said: "Balance is key, in both literature and warfare." 。I feel tired, I should take a break and relax. 。Why don't you have lunch with us in town, Mr. An Our local canteen still has two signature dishes. 。“That sounds good,” An Ruyi agreed. 。"An Ruyi had wanted to drink coffee, but there was none in town. She looked at the tea on the table; the temperature had gone down and it should be almost ready to drink. She settled for picking up the teacup and taking a sip." 。A hint of sweetness on the tip of the tongue, followed by a subtle bitterness on the sides. After a while, a pleasant aftertaste and throat-warming sensation appear at the root of the tongue and in the throat. 。This actually happened in an instant. An Ruyi didn't understand tea herself, so naturally she couldn't express such a clear feeling. 。But, after taking a sip of this green tea, An Ruyi unexpectedly felt it was quite good, so she drank a second cup. 。An Ruyi told Judy, "This Chinese Jiangnan tea is actually quite good. It's completely different from coffee and black tea." 。You try it too. 。Judy is not a conservative woman. Since she came to Hainan from the United States for Chinese culture, she naturally likes to try all kinds of things related to Chinese culture. 。She listened to An Ruyi's words, so she picked up the big teacup and took a sip. She rolled it around her mouth with her tongue, then nodded forcefully, her eyes fixed on Xiao Zheng: "It's really good. Where is this tea from"
Xiao Zheng said: "This is An County green tea. It is now mainly produced in Gaoshan Village in our Tianhuang Village. Other villages also have scattered cultivation" 。Look, out my back window, there's an ancient tea tree. The tea leaves it produces are simply perfect. 。
It's a shame it's wild tea, the yield is only a little bit, I finished it early, you can't taste it today
But, by April of this year, you'll be able to taste the fresh spring tea, in just over two months. 。Although the Spring Festival hasn't arrived yet, it's already January, and there are only a few months left until Lantern Festival. 。Today is a sunny day. The winter sunshine shines on the old tea tree, and you can see the golden light shimmering on its green leaves from afar. 。An Ruyi said: "Mayor Xiao, could you let me see your old tea trees They sound very interesting." 。"Of course." 。Let's go. 。I'll go ask Shuji if he's going.
An Ruyi came, and he should have informed Guan Wenwei, so Xiao Zheng took An Ruyi and Zhu Di to Guan Wenwei's office, explained An Ruyi's intention, and then invited Guan Wenwei to see the old tea tree together. 。
Kǎo Gu Shu, when asked to read the book, said: “I only care about drinking tea, what's interesting about tea trees” 。Go away, I have some things to attend to here. 。At noon, Mr. An must stay for dinner. I'll come and keep you company then. 。"Xiao Zheng couldn't force him, so he called Tao Fang along to keep An Ruyi and Judy company as they walked towards the back mountain." 。Halfway there, Xiao Zheng bumped into Sha Hai. 。Xiao Zheng invited him along because it wouldn't be appropriate for him to hike up the mountain with three beautiful women alone. Even if nothing would happen, it would undoubtedly attract unwanted attention. 。With Shahai around, you can always have a good shield. 。Of course, the intention seems a bit impure, but it's harmless. 。Since the last incident, Xiao Zheng had involved Sha Hai and Wang Xin Mei in matters concerning Lin Xiaofeng. After successfully covering for Xiao Zheng in "Jia Lin Zhi Meng", their relationship grew closer. Sha Hai would sometimes visit Xiao Zheng's office to have a smoke. 。In this town, Sha Hai is young and a good person with good character. He just lacks a sense of presence; he's a bit adrift and wild. 。Xiao Zheng wanted to find an opportunity to put pressure on him and cultivate him appropriately. 。If he could get into the leadership team, with responsibilities on his shoulders, his sense of duty would definitely become stronger. His life would take a step forward, and it would also be beneficial for the town. 。。Qin Keling has already joined the team. As a woman cadre, she has a firm stance and strong abilities. She still has a lot of room for growth and could definitely become a town mayor or secretary in the future. 。After her, Xiao Zheng intentionally cultivated Tao Jian, Sha Hai, Wang Xinmei and others. This is also beneficial for the healthy growth of the cadre team in Tianhuang Town. 。
Shahai seemed to sense the mayor's increasing attention, his presence in town growing stronger. He was seen more frequently at the town government compound lately. 。Right now, Xiao Zheng summoned Sha Hai, and he came immediately: "Going to the back mountain Great! I'm best at climbing mountains." 。"You say you're the best at climbing mountains, just because it's a few dozen meters higher than our courtyard" Sha Hai said: "Chief Xiao Town, even small mountains are mountains, and short people are still people. 。Smoking 。"Two beautiful ladies, wanna smoke"
Sha Hai passed a cigarette to Xiao Zheng and gestured towards the two women. 。Xiao Zheng said, "You gave cigarettes to beautiful women Did you get it wrong How could they smoke"
An Ruyi politely declined and said, "I don't smoke, thank you" 。However, Judy said "Thank you, I'll try...you guys...Chinese cigarettes..." and then took the soft China cigarette. 。Shahai Chao Xiao Zhang winked at Xiao Zheng and said, “Chief Xiao, look! Our foreign guest, Mr. Zhu, is a smoker.” 。Shahai also proactively lit a cigarette for Judy. 。Judy took a puff, exhaling a pale blue plume of smoke into the air. She then flicked her short, ear-length hair back, and in the sunlight, the golden tips seemed almost ready to melt into the brilliant rays. 。The golden hair of a foreign woman has its own unique beauty, which Xiao Zheng couldn't deny. 。Judy took a puff and said, “You guys...Chinese cigarettes...are pretty good.” 。"Sha Hai smiled and said, 'The price is also very good. It's cheaper than your... US... whatever... Marlboro... you could buy ten packs of this for the price of one pack of that.'"
The five people climbed up the small hill together and reached the back mountain. Although the top of the mountain was a little bleak in winter, the old tea trees were still crisp and bright, showing that even in winter there was powerful vitality and vigor. 。This old tea tree gets more spirited as it ages!
After looking at the old tea tree, An Ruyi said: “He has new tea leaves this year, and I’m coming to drink >>> 。"Xiao Zheng said: “No problem” 。Then he remembered that he had promised Xiao Jingyu last year that when the new tea was launched, he would set aside some tea from the old tea trees for her. 。This ancient tea tree produces a limited amount, Xiao Zheng can't agree to others anymore, otherwise there won't be enough for everyone to drink. 。Before leaving, An Ruyi unexpectedly stood upright with both legs and clasped her hands together, bowing to the old tea tree. 。
Xiao Zheng was a little puzzled: “What is this for” An Ruyi smiled and said, "When I was a child, my mother told me that old trees are all spiritual. If you bow to him, he can feel it, and the tea leaves that grow for you next year will taste even better." 。" "
"Is there such a thing" Sha Hai hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed. " "> 。Everyone laughed. 。Judy was obviously also interested in the mysterious etiquette of China, and she followed suit with a bow. 。Xiao Zheng said to Tao Fang, "In order for next year's tea to be even better tasting, let's pay our respects to the old tea trees." 。Tao Fang smiled, standing beside Xiao Zheng and bowing with Mayor Xiao. 。Sha Hai suddenly said from the side: "Aren't you paying respects to the old tea tree You guys standing together, are you worshiping heaven and earth"
Tao Fang swung her fist, aiming it at Sha Hai: "You talk too much!" Sha Hai had already dodged. 。Tao Fang couldn't reach Sha Hai, and returned to Xiao Zhenchang's side, her cheeks flushed red. It was unclear whether it was Sha Hai's words that had blushed her face, or because she had just run around suddenly, causing blood to rush to her face. 。 within four days that they would all have jobs resolved How could he possibly do that He wasn’t a big company owner, and the government couldn’t directly hire people.” 。The town mayor just wanted...
