Chapter 133 Good Tea

Captain Qin came to the Ye family today and planned to discuss with Ye Lin about building a school in the village.

"Nephew Lin, this is the blueprint our village drew yesterday. Can you take a look and see if there's anything you want to change?"

Captain Qin took out a piece of yellowed straw paper from his pocket. Judging from the teeth marks on the edge, it should be a torn scrap.

"Okay, Uncle Qin, thank you for your trouble. I'll take a look first."

Ye Lin took the straw paper that looked about to break with both hands. He held it in his hand, and straw residue fell from time to time. He was afraid that the paper would be torn if a strong wind blew.

Quickly look at the design drawings,

Captain Qin saw Ye Lin frowning slightly.

Is it because the painting is not good?

The village cadres thought it was a great idea. If this school were built, it would be even better than the commune primary school.

"Nephew Lin, is there anything wrong with this blueprint?"

"Uncle Qin, why is there no green space in the school?"

Ye Lin placed the straw paper on the small wooden table beside the bed and pushed it to Captain Qin to see.

Captain Qin couldn't figure it out and asked in confusion

"What's greenery? Isn't this kitchen and toilet quite complete?"

"It's about green plants, big trees, grass, gardens, and so on. Why is there not even a blade of grass on the blueprint?"

When making the budget before, Ye Lin suggested that some cement roads could be paved on the main road of the school to make it easier for children to walk and avoid getting mud on their cloth shoes.

But they didn't ask them to seal the entire school with cement, did they?

On this piece of straw paper, I don’t know who used chalk to paint the entire school white, and there was a thoughtful explanation below that this was the cement area.

What are you thinking?

Such a good school is now barren?

"Isn't this great? What do we need those grass roots for? They're so dirty. The concrete floor is so clean and bright!"

"Nephew Lin, don't worry about the money. We old guys will cover the extra money. By then, our Xiahe Village Primary School will definitely be the most prestigious school in the area! It's so impressive!"

Captain Qin didn't think there was a problem, but instead thought it was a very good design.

Nowadays, no one would be willing to lay cement at home. Only large state-owned factories would be willing to lay cement floors.

They listened to Boss Ye's suggestion and thought that paving cement was a good idea. They had already spent a lot of money to build the school, so what else did they need?

It must be arranged.

Several village cadres calculated the budget and found that they were almost enough to cover the entire school. It just so happened that Boss Ye had given everyone a lot of money some time ago.

Everyone had money in their pockets, and the village cadres felt that as leaders, they had to contribute to the villagers. So each person donated 50 yuan, and they simply paved the school with cement.

Determined to build the most upscale primary school in Qing County!

Ye Lin originally wanted to refute, but Captain Qin's tone indicated that this decision was the opinion of all village cadres, and it would be inappropriate for him to object.

It is not easy to impose his aesthetic taste on others. Maybe his children will also like this style.

Xiahe Village is full of fields, so the school has some green space.

“Since everyone likes cement floors, let’s pave them, leaving some space in these places and building a few flower beds to make it look more lively.”

Ye Lin took a pen and drew several circles at the school gate, the cafeteria, and the classroom entrance.

Even if we don’t do greening, there must be at least a few flower beds, otherwise the school will be all black and white and look dull.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Captain Qin carefully folded the straw paper again and put it back in his pocket.

He had something else he wanted to discuss with Ye Lin.

"Nephew Lin, I have something else to ask. Although we are not short of money, it is a good thing to save a few cents, right?"

Ye Lin motioned him to continue

Captain Qin was a little embarrassed and laughed dryly.

"I heard that our fourth son-in-law works at a cement factory. Nephew, we use quite a bit of cement. How about we buy some from him? And get the employee price?"

Captain Qin has inquired about it these days.

The cement factory sells 50-jin bags of cement to the outside world for 50 cents, while the internal price for employees is only 40 cents.

They needed a lot of cement to pave the school, at least six or seven hundred bags of cement.

If I could buy it at the internal employee price, I could save at least sixty or seventy yuan. With this money, I could make a batch of desks for the children.

"Uncle Qin, to be honest, I haven't met my uncle yet. Why don't you wait until my aunt comes and ask her?"

"Well, it's my fault for not thinking it through. My nephew just came back not long ago and he really doesn't know much about these things. Then let's wait for Dajun's wife."

Ye Lin had only met his fourth aunt these days, but not his fourth uncle, so he didn't know what to say to Captain Qin.

only,

Why hasn’t my aunt come yet?

Is pouring a glass of water so laborious?

Just when Ye Lin couldn't help wanting to go out and take a look,

Zhao Zhaodi finally arrived with the cheap goods she had carefully selected.

Zhao Zhaodi just pinched two handfuls of tea leaves from the small wooden box and put them into the bone china cups brought by Ye Lin.

Before pouring the water, I still felt that I had lost out.

He found chopsticks and picked up a few more tea leaves from Captain Qin's cup and put them into Ye Lin's cup.

While pinching and muttering

"No matter how cheap the food is, it can't be eaten by outsiders. Old Qin drinks a lot, let Lin drink more."

Wait until she redistributes

There were only seven or eight scattered tea leaves in a teacup.

In the other teacup, there was so much tea leaves that you couldn't even see the bottom of the cup.

Zhao Zhaodi was very satisfied.

You know what, this tea smells really good after brewing!

There was no smell of smoke in the kitchen now, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

"This stuff smells really good. It would be a waste to keep a pot of hot water. I might as well soak it all up and enjoy it myself."

Looking at the tender green tea leaves slowly blooming in the pot, Zhao Zhaodi contentedly covered the pot and let it simmer for a while, then picked up the teacup and served the tea to her nephew!

When I walked into the yard, I happened to meet Ah Hui who was coming out of the woodshed chopping firewood.

"Hui, you must be tired after work, right? I made some tea in the kitchen, go have a sip and quench your thirst."

Zhao Zhaodi greeted Ahui and showed him the tea she brewed.

"Hey, excuse me, Madam, I'm going to have a drink."

Ah Hui smelled the tea leaves in Zhao Zhaodi's hand and felt like he had smelled it somewhere before, but he didn't care.

"Okay, I'll take it inside first."

When someone called her Madam, Zhao Zhaodi felt so happy that she tiptoed away.

After Zhao Zhaodi left, Ah Hui washed his hands in the basin and planned to go to the kitchen to drink some tea.

Just entered the kitchen.

The rich aroma of tea made Ah Hui stiffen. This smell couldn't be...

Without time to think, Ah Hui rushed to the iron pot on the stove and lifted the lid with trembling fingers.

"Oh my god!!"

After seeing what was in the pot, Ah Hui was so scared that he even spoke in Cantonese.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, this had to be a dream.

Ah Hui grabbed the bamboo colander on the wall, scooped up a spoonful of tea leaves, picked up a piece and carefully identified it.

"Pah."

The colander fell back into the pot.

Ah Hui now just wants to go crazy, and his vision is getting dark.

"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! I can't do it anymore. I have to sit down, sit down."

I can't even breathe when I sit down.

Ah Hui jumped off the stool and lay down on the ground. He needed to lie down for a while.

Inside this big iron pot, there were actually 18 Imperial Longjing tea leaves that he had bought from Sotheby's auction house in the United States in the first half of the year for US$560,000!

That box of tea weighs only a little over two taels.

There was a thick layer of green leaves floating in the big iron pot. The lady must have cooked it for at least one or two ounces!

This top-grade tea can only produce two taels a year at most. In addition, due to the severe blockade of the mainland in the past, the amount of tea that can be released is even less.

This is something that cannot be bought even with money. He and the young master were lucky enough to come across it.

After buying it, the young master was reluctant to drink it and only drank it three or four times!

Good things really can't be saved, no matter how much you save.

Let’s have a pot today!

Ah Hui lay on the ground and counted, and found that the eldest lady had spent at least 280,000 US dollars on cooking today.

Fortunately, the young master has money, so just cook it.
