Before the tea had even boiled, Bao Yu saw several people arrive. Judging from their age, they were about the same as the old gentleman. The group arrived while chatting and laughing, and without being invited, they casually sat down.
"Ouyang, why did you bring a little kid with you today? Is it your child?"
The old man looked up from the chessboard: "Haha, I met her by chance at the teahouse today. She seems quite likable."
"Wow, I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've seen you like this. It seems this kid has some extraordinary talent!"
Mr. Ouyang smiled mysteriously, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Girl, the water's boiling, let's make everyone some tea."
Seeing Mr. Ouyang's expression of wanting him to show off to everyone, Bao Yu couldn't help but laugh. After all, Bao Yu spent every morning doing morning exercises with the elderly and knew them quite well.
"Then I'll make a fool of myself."
Bao Yu's tea-brewing technique comes from Sang Yuan. Although Sang Yuan had learned how to brew tea, she developed her own insights when brewing tea on her own. This may be related to Sang Yuan's palate, as she is more able to subtly perceive how to brew tea to make it taste better.
Before brewing the tea, Bao Yu first examined the tea leaves, then the water. Having a plan in mind, he began brewing. Those who understand tea will notice that Bao Yu's method is slightly different; however, when it comes to something that goes into your mouth, the method is only revealed after you've tasted it.
While Bao Yu was brewing tea, the senior tea drinkers present were all watching. They were all experienced tea connoisseurs, and naturally, their tea-brewing differed slightly from Bao Yu's. However, Bao Yu's practiced skill made it seem as if her method was the only correct one. Furthermore, these were all well-mannered individuals who wouldn't publicly expose someone's shortcomings.
While brewing the tea, Bao Yu observed the number of people coming, warmed the cups, poured the tea into the cups, and served them to each person one by one.
"Haha, I never knew tea could be enjoyed like this!"
"This girl knows how to appreciate tea. Even though it was the same tea as before, she could tell it was of high quality!"
"Looks like you've really struck gold, Ouyang."
[Little Fish actually came to the Tea Art Center?]
[Waaaaah, it seems like those little fish are making life unbearable!]
[I'm just trying to console myself: Little Fish can't fold paper, so she's still a newbie at games!]
[Haha, you're good at comforting yourself, upstairs.]
Wait a minute, why does that figure behind Xiaoyu look so familiar? They're over there near the rockery, walking this way!
[Brother Xi? Wasn't he filming? What's he doing here?]
[They even said we secretly hid Xiaoyu's Hanfu outfit today. What kind of chemistry do those two have?]
After serving the tea to the elderly people present, Bao Yu turned around and put the tea tray back, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Those present could clearly see the change in Bao Yu's mood; she had abandoned her previous gentle and refined demeanor and ran happily to Gu Nanxi's side.
"Xi, what brings you here? Did you come to pick me up?"
Gu Nanxi was also pleasantly surprised to see Bao Yu dressed in Hanfu. On their wedding day, Bao Yu wore a Xiuhe dress, which was completely different from her elegant appearance now.
"Looks like the girl knows this kid!"
Bao Yu nodded: "This is my husband!"
Mr. Ouyang then looked at Gu Nanxi seriously: "Oh? I didn't expect you to be married already? I was just about to introduce you to my grandson."
Bao Yu simply smiled, but his presence beside Gu Nanxi was enough to demonstrate his resolve.
Gu Nanxi took Bao Yu's hand, explaining to him and stating her purpose: "The director heard that my grandfather is acquainted with Mr. Ouyang and has been wanting to borrow Mr. Ouyang's house to film a movie, but Mr. Ouyang has not agreed. So he wanted me to come and try. He wants to see if Mr. Ouyang will agree." Gu Nanxi's last sentence was directed towards Mr. Ouyang.
However, Mr. Ouyang did not answer. Instead, he called out to Bao Yu, "Girl, you haven't tasted the tea you brewed yourself, have you? Here, try it and see how it tastes."
Bao Yu glanced at Gu Nanxi, then smiled and walked to the seat opposite Mr. Ouyang, slowly sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and then gently put it down before speaking: "The tea itself is a rare Tieguanyin, and the water used by the old gentleman is also a rare well water. It seems that the old gentleman is a person who knows how to enjoy life, but..."
