Chapter 85 Tea

Mi Kun said as he picked up a cup of tea on the table next to him and took a big sip. Then the moment the tea entered his mouth, Mi Kun spat it out.

He hadn't noticed at first, thinking it was just water, but it turned out to be tea. Interstellar tea isn't exactly a tasty treat; due to cultural discontinuities, the method for making it hasn't been passed down.

This also resulted in the tea people currently drink being bitter and astringent, making it particularly difficult to drink. However, this tea is extremely rare, and only those of high status can drink it. Therefore, this tea has become a symbol of status.

If it was Mi Kun ten years ago, he could have resisted the urge to drink it mouthful by mouthful. However, after years of being fed by Liu Qingqing, Mi Kun's taste had become extremely discerning, so how could he possibly resist such tea?

Mi Kun's tongue tasted bitter because of the tea in the cup. The people around him were amused by Mi Kun's behavior, but they had to hold back their laughter, which was really a difficult thing.

"What? Is there something wrong with this tea?"

Sheng Yuan on the side still spoke with that gentle smile. There was no sarcasm in his smile, but rather a hint of worry.

"Bah, what the hell is this? It's so disgusting."

Mi Kun spat twice more, letting his tongue heal a little, then turned to Liu Qingqing and said:

"Disciple, take out your tea. I want to drink your tea. This tea is too bad. I can't drink it."

His words were quite shameless. Although he still maintained his dignity, he still winked at Liu Qingqing and made crazy expressions.

Liu Qingqing was helpless. What else could she do? She could only pamper her own master.

Then he opened his hand, and a jar of tea appeared in his palm. The tea was placed in a glass jar, and from the outside, you could see that the tea leaves inside were green and juicy, with a curved and tight shape.

Liu Qingqing opened the glass jar and took out a few tea leaves. She poured out the water in the cup and put it directly into the cup. She asked the attendant next to her for boiling water and put it directly into the cup to steep.

Her casual attitude left the pharmacists around her puzzled. Was this really tea? Was it really just buds picked from a tree?

Then, after a while, a refreshing fragrance filled the whole room. It was refreshing and soothing, and the smell was really different from the tea they drank.

The eyes of the great pharmacists in the room lit up, and were filled with desire. They all stared at the cup of tea on the table, but they couldn't help feeling sad: Liu Qingqing's handling method just now was really too casual.

If a professional were to make the tea, the taste might be even better. What a waste of money!

Liu Qingqing suddenly received the condemning gazes of many great pharmacists in the room, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She wasn't someone who lived a refined life, so why would she have the leisure to go through so many steps just to drink a cup of tea?

It’s nice to have tea to drink, okay!

Mi Kun was very happy to take the teacup from Liu Qingqing's hand. He nodded to Liu Qingqing with a loving look in his eyes.

Hey, he is indeed his good disciple.

He took a sip of tea and immediately felt relaxed physically and mentally. After putting down the teacup, he breathed a sigh of relief. Even if a god came, he wouldn't change this day.

When the others saw Mi Kun like this, they felt like they were scratched by a cat and were very curious about what the tea tasted like.

They all knew that Mi Kun loved to eat, and he never pretended. He would say whatever he wanted to say, so the food that made him look like that must be really delicious.

Ah! Can't you give us a drink too?

A brave man in the alliance quietly raised his hand, his hand still trembling slightly, but even so, he raised it firmly. Mi Kun looked down on him for being so cowardly, but still waved him to speak.

"Master Yao, I have a request that you may not mind. Could you please let us taste some of this tea?"

After saying this, he showed a smile that seemed very "honest".

Mi Kun showed a look of contempt on his face. When he was searching for delicious food in the interstellar space every day, these people all thought he was not doing his job properly.

They thought he was lazy and a waste of talent, and even said some mocking things to him in private. Now that there was something delicious to drink, they wanted to share a cup.

The people below had originally shown longing eyes when listening to the man's words, but when they saw the contempt in Mi Kun's eyes, their faces turned red and they were too embarrassed to say anything.

"You can drink if you want!"

Mi Kun didn't know what he was thinking about, he smiled evilly, then turned around and said to Liu Qingqing:

"Apprentice, go make each of them a cup of tea. Remember to do this..."

Mi Kun's voice gradually became softer as he spoke, turning into a whisper. No one else could hear him except Sheng Yuan, who twitched his ears. The curve of his lips widened as if he had heard something, and he quickly covered his mouth with the cup in his hand.

Although Liu Qingqing felt helpless after hearing Mi Kun's words, she still did as he said. She knew that this old man would not be so kind, and it turned out to be just as she expected.

So the others watched as Liu Qingqing held the glass jar in one hand and the boiling water in the other, and walked to the pharmacist closest to her. The great pharmacist was extremely excited.

Then he saw Liu Qingqing pour out the tea in his cup and directly fill it with boiling water, which was still steaming. The pharmacist was still a little confused. He wanted to drink tea, so why did he get only water?

Liu Qingqing calmly used her slender white fingers to pick out a piece of tea from the glass jar and casually threw it into the cup of boiling water.

This operation made the pharmacist stunned. No, he was so stingy! He didn't ask for three or four more, right? What was he going to drink with just this one?

Liu Qingqing didn't feel guilty at all. She was glad they could drink it, so why was she so picky? Furthermore, this tea was a variant she had found in the Metaverse. Even a single strand was incredibly fragrant, though the flavor wasn't that strong.

At that time, she roasted the tea bit by bit and step by step according to the books in the space. It would be good enough if she could give them a piece!

Liu Qingqing made tea for each of the alliance pharmacists, then covered the glass lid and sat down next to Mi Kun.

Just as I was about to put the tea leaves into the space, I heard Sheng Yuan cough and say:

"Brother Yao, we've known each other for such a long time, could you let me taste the tea?"

He spoke very sincerely, and Liu Qingqing could naturally see that he really had a very good attitude towards Mi Kun, although Liu Qingqing didn't know why a person from an enemy country could speak in such a peaceful manner.

Mi Kun frowned habitually, then seemed to have thought of something and said nothing, but just gave Liu Qingqing a look.

After receiving Mi Kun's gaze, Liu Qingqing naturally knew what to do. She walked to Sheng Yuan's side and poured water first. Then the following scene shocked the alliance pharmacists!
