As he spoke, Gu Yunyang had already entered the courtyard and nodded to Principal Zhong and the middle-aged man in greeting.
He put down the basket, took out the key, and opened the door.
He asked, "Principal, and this gentleman, please come in. I'll pour you some tea."
The house built by Gu Yunyang has a main room with a dining table, as well as some benches and chairs.
Principal Zhong and the middle-aged man came in and found seats.
Gu Yunyang went to the kitchen, took two enamel cups, put some tea leaves in them, took out a thermos, poured in some hot water, and put the lid on.
They also took out some dried sweet potatoes.
He didn't take anything else.
After thinking about it, I went and got some fresh lychees.
"Principal Zhong, and this gentleman, please have some tea, fruit, and dried sweet potatoes."
Principal Zhong nodded and then introduced, "This is Zhuge Qiao, you can just call him Uncle."
Zhuge Qiao nodded and said, "This tea has a delicate and lasting aroma; it must be a fine tea."
Gu Yunyang chuckled and waved his hand: "It's not any good tea, just wild tea from the back mountain. I picked it myself and roasted it myself."
Actually, the tea leaves were grown in the base space; I cultivated them myself.
When he was in Northeast China, he picked a few tea trees. After returning here, he found a few more tea trees on the back mountain, accelerated their ripening, and then picked and roasted the green tea himself.
He learned the stir-frying technique from videos in his previous life.
Of course, the original owner also had this skill, and with both of them combined, his tea-frying skills were quite good.
Most importantly, the tea leaves are actually grown using wood-based supernatural abilities, giving them a slightly supernatural flavor and a pleasant taste.
It clears heat and detoxifies, and promotes saliva production in the mouth.
Principal Zhong was somewhat surprised: "They're all sold out elsewhere, but you still have some?"
There is a thousand-year-old lychee tree in Gu Yunyang's base space, and the lychees it produces taste excellent.
Gu Yunyang planted a few more trees, but he didn't force them to ripen.
"I found a few late-ripening lychee trees on the mountain. But we've almost finished eating them all."
Early-ripening lychees are expensive, while late-ripening ones are not.
Even in this era, there are resourceful people who can find ways to preserve lychees.
Whether it's freezing or some other method.
It is said that in later generations, Guangzhou froze tens of millions of kilograms of lychees every year, so that they would be on the market the following year before they were ripe.
The price is quite attractive.
Principal Zhong was also deeply moved: "I heard that you had previously looked for a few early-ripening lychee trees?"
Gu Yunyang asked in surprise, "You already knew about this?"
Principal Zhong laughed heartily: "I overheard some conversations with the students at school. I heard you even traded lychees for fertilizer. The other brigade leaders have been envious for a long time, secretly hoping to go up the mountain to find an early-ripening variety, but unfortunately they couldn't find one."
Zhuge Qiao didn't say much, only occasionally responding with a few words.
At other times, he would sit quietly to the side, listening to Principal Zhong and Gu Yunyang chat.
He silently observed Gu Yunyang.
This time, he came with a mission.
If he couldn't be sure of Gu Yunyang's character, he was hesitant to assign the translation task to Gu Yunyang.
Although observing for a while probably won't be of much use.
Besides, time is too tight.
I came here today with a plan in mind; I definitely need Gu Yunyang's help.
However, he kept this matter on his mind, so he wanted to observe it further.
Most of the time, it's best to put your mind at ease.
Gu Yunyang probably guessed Zhuge Qiao's plan, so he greeted him briefly at the beginning and then chatted with Principal Zhong on the side.
"Principal Zhong, have some of this dried sweet potato. It's a chestnut-flavored sweet potato that we cultivated ourselves; it tastes quite good. When you leave later, I'll take some back for you to give to your wife."
Principal Zhong is the school's principal, and Gu Yunyang attends his school.
