Chapter 144 I Can Save Your Tea Tree
Yan Sui was unaware that she had already met her aunt once without her knowledge.
Several days have passed since the first batch of peaches was sent out.
While everyone was busy picking the second batch, many people had already received their peaches.
There were a lot of positive feedback, with over 90% of them including pictures.
At first glance, it looks exactly like she's looking for someone to place fake orders.
In particular, there was a streamer who claimed to be a fan of Yan Mo. Under the banner of "fighting fakes," he grabbed an order for peaches and evaluated them in front of many viewers in the live stream.
In the end, his exposé turned into a mukbang (eating broadcast), where he ate five pounds of peaches by himself, even washing the pits clean, and vowed to keep eating them until he was buried.
His exaggerated explanations and evaluations, along with five consecutive videos urging Yan Sui to place more orders, sparked another wave of online buzz.
Yan Sui covered her eyes and pretended not to see.
There's no need to rush her; she'll naturally send the goods when they're available.
Later, tourists from Changqing Village discovered Yan Junming's stall. After drinking his homemade peach lemon tea, they were so excited that they packed ten cups to take home.
After returning home, he posted online, writing a thousand-word positive review.
[Everyone hurry up! The guy making lemon tea is Yan Sui, he's super handsome!]
[Mark! Even if I can't buy peaches, I'm determined to drink this lemon tea!]
[If I flew there overnight, could I experience picking peaches? If so, I'd definitely go for it.]
No! Visitors are not allowed in the orchard, but you can stroll around the lotus pond; it's really relaxing, and you can even take pictures of chubby little birds!
In short, Yan Junming's peach lemon tea has become a hit!
Yan Junming, who was still sleeping in late the next day, was woken up early by Sui Liyuan.
"Still sleeping! There's a long line outside!"
"Mom, what are you saying?!"
Sui Liyuan shouted at the top of her lungs, "There's a line outside, everyone's waiting to buy your lemon tea."
In a daze, Yan Junming jumped out of bed and rushed out without even putting on his clothes.
When he saw the line of people outside, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously; he wasn't seeing things!
"Wow, my little brother has abs!"
"So handsome! Yan Sui's whole family is so good-looking."
"Quick, take a picture! Such a handsome young man is a rare sight!"
"Little brother, why are you still making lemon tea? Come to your sister's house, I'll take care of you!"
Yan Junming snapped out of her daze and realized she wasn't wearing a shirt. Her face instantly turned bright red, and she covered her face as she ran into the house.
Sui Liyuan simply couldn't bear to look at him; how could her sons, born of the same mother, have such different personalities?
"Get your clothes on right now! There are so many girls outside, are you trying to molest me?!"
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a voice from outside: "Mother-in-law, is it possible that we were the ones who wanted to act like hooligans?"
Sui Liyuan: "..." She didn't want to become a mother-in-law so early.
Yan Junming quickly washed up and changed his clothes.
Set up tables and chairs, and get the stall open!
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I only have two kinds of lemon tea here right now, strawberry and peach. Please choose whichever you like."
The girl at the front of the line stepped forward and said, "I want ten cups of peach juice, to go!"
Yan Junming was taken aback. "How much?"
"Ten cups!"
He swallowed hard and glanced at the long line behind her.
Surely not all of them will cost that much?
"Limit of two cups per person."
"...Okay, then two cups will do."
Yan Junming then began to work busily, spinning like a top.
Yan Sui didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.
When I came out, I saw a courtyard full of people and stood there stunned for a while.
Before she could react, fans came up to take photos with her.
"Sui Sui, when are you going to add peaches to your order?"
"Can you please remove the purchase limit? I only managed to snag one order."
"Putting aside the purchase limit on peaches, could you please remove the purchase limit on lemon tea?"
"..."
They were talking so much that Yan Sui didn't know how to respond.
I quickly took a group photo with them and then made up an excuse to leave.
She originally planned to hide at Xu Mocun's house, but on the way she met an old man who asked her for directions.
The old man was dressed in tattered clothes and was holding a trailer in his hand.
There was a tree on the trailer, which looked like a tea tree.
However, this tea tree is withered and has yellow leaves; it looks like it's going to die.
"Are you here to see Grandma Pei?"
"I already said I was looking for Pei Siyun, why are you asking again?"
Yan Sui: "..." How rude.
"Please follow me." She walked ahead and led the way.
The old man looked very anxious, which piqued Yan Sui's curiosity.
She couldn't help but turn around and glance at him twice. "What do you need Grandma Pei for?"
The old man's tone remained sharp: "None of your business."
Yan Sui pursed her lips and said no more.
"Benben!"
Pei Siyun was nowhere to be seen, but Benben was playing at the door.
Is Grandma Pei home?
Benben circled around Yan Sui, and when he made sure she had no hands, he was a little unhappy.
Yan Sui laughed and scolded, "You heartless bastard! I'll bring you vegetables and big peaches tonight!"
Benben is very intelligent, so he wagged his tail and went inside to call for people.
A short while later, Pei Siyun came out.
Her gaze, however, fell on the old man. "Zhang Junxiang, what brings you here?"
Zhang Junxiang waved his hand, his face full of anxiety, and said, "Don't even mention it! Please help me check on my precious pet; it's about to die!"
Pei Siyun walked over quickly and circled the tea tree on the trailer.
"This is the miraculous pill you cultivated from the mother tree, the Crimson Robe? How did it get like this?"
Zhang Junxiang is not short of money, is still unmarried, has no children or relatives and has no attachments. What he cherishes most is the purebred Da Hong Pao tea in his family.
It's no different from tearing out his heart now that things have turned out this way.
"Don't even mention it, it was all that brat's doing, setting my flowerpot on fire!"
Only after he said that did Yan Sui realize that a patch near the roots had been burned to charcoal.
"Please help me, see if there's any chance of saving him."
Pei Siyun examined it and finally shook his head.
"The burns are so severe that the upper part of the tea tree can no longer obtain water and nutrients, and it will wither and die soon."
Yan Sui looked at Zhang Junxiang. The old man, who had been fierce just moments before, now had red eyes, as if he had lost a priceless treasure.
He hugged the tea tree and began to wail.
"My dear waiter, how could you die such a gruesome death! That damned bastard, I wish I could tear him to pieces!"
"You just left me like this, leaving me, an old man, to bury my young one. What am I going to do without you!"
This was the first time Yan Sui had ever seen someone hugging a tea tree and crying so sadly. She was so captivated by the sight that she couldn't move her legs.
Pei Siyun, however, was not surprised; everyone has their own spiritual sustenance.
Zhang Junxiang's spiritual sustenance was the purebred Da Hong Pao tea in his family.
After nurturing him for so many years, it's no wonder he couldn't accept it when he suddenly died.
"On such a hot day, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
Zhang Junxiang looked listless, like a wilted eggplant.
"No need, I'll go back now. Maybe I can still make it in time for Xiao Er's funeral."
Yan Sui: "...He's not dead yet, why are you holding a funeral?"
Zhang Junxiang glared and bristled, "Professor Pei is a renowned botanist, how could you possibly know more than her?"
Yan Sui said matter-of-factly, "Of course I don't know as much as Grandma Pei."
Zhang Junxiang snorted, and then heard Yan Sui say, "But I can save your tea tree."
