Lu Yuanhu stood there with his mouth open.
He was waiting for Mingcheng to burst out laughing and then tell him, "You actually believed me when I was joking."
But Mingcheng didn't.
He still had an expression that showed he had seen through Lu Yuanhu's "pretentious tricks".
"Are you kidding?" Lu Yuanhu asked in a low voice, "One piece of tea cake is worth five times its weight in gold?"
Mingcheng also noticed something was wrong at this time and said, "Yeah, why would I joke about this?"
"Why is it so expensive?" Lu Yuanhu took a breath.
His heart is pounding now, mainly because he still can't accept the reality.
He must ask Mingcheng clearly.
"Pu'er is different from other teas. It lasts forever, just like liquor," Mingcheng said, crossing his legs. "The reason why this stuff is expensive is the same as the price increase of Feitian Moutai. The key is that it is even rarer than Moutai."
"There's a saying in tea: red wine depends on the mountain, and Pu'er depends on the mountain. Tea varieties grown on different mountaintops are simply different, and Pu'er is particularly famous for Yibang and Yiwu."
"The annual output of ancient tea trees in Yiwu Mountain is only 650 dan in the best year. In recent years, in order to save land fertility, it has been maintained at 450 to 500 dan. It has never reached that high."
"The yield of Zhengshan seed is even less, only one-third, which is more than 100 dan but less than 200 dan."
"Tea quality is divided into grades from one to ten. Grade ten tea is very rare. We are lucky if we can produce five dan a year."
At this point, Mingcheng picked up a tea leaf at the bottom of the bowl with his chopsticks and said:
"Look at the integrity of this tea. I'm sure it's grade ten, the best kind. It's definitely expensive for a reason."
Seeing Lu Yuanhu's increasingly ugly expression, Mingcheng couldn't help but ask, "No way, you're really not showing off your wealth?"
The more Lu Yuanhu thought about it, the more shocked he became. He slapped his head and yelled, "Ah!"
After saying that, he went into the kitchen.
"Sister Huang! Sister Huang!"
Lu Yuanhu frantically called out his nanny's name.
Sister Huang walked out of the kitchen and was a little surprised to see Lu Yuanhu's expression. She had never seen Lu Yuanhu so out of control before.
"What's wrong, master?" asked Sister Huang.
"Where's the tea cake? I'm asking you, where's the tea cake?" Lu Yuanhu was very excited.
"What tea cake?"
"My tea cakes! The ones you used to make tea eggs!" Lu Yuanhu's eyes were red. "Have you used them all?"
Huang Jie was a little confused and said, "I haven't used up all the money. There are so many."
Lu Yuanhu grabbed Sister Huang with both hands, stared at her and asked, "How much did you use?"
"A little more than half..." Sister Huang hesitated.
"oops……"
Lu Yuanhu felt his heart bleeding.
That’s tens of millions gone.
"Where are the remaining tea cakes?" Lu Yuanhu asked quickly.
"In the kitchen..."
Lu Yuanhu asked Sister Huang to take him to the kitchen quickly. When they got to the kitchen, Sister Huang said "Hey" softly.
"Where are the remaining tea cakes?" Lu Yuanhu asked.
"It was just here." Sister Huang pointed to the cupboard.
"Look for it quickly! Look for it quickly!"
The two searched the kitchen for a long time. Sister Huang clapped her hands and said, "Madam came into the kitchen just now and left again. Did she take it?"
Without saying anything, Lu Yuanhu searched the room for Shi Lingyu, who was applying a facial mask.
"Stop wearing that facial mask!" Lu Yuanhu looked annoyed. He went up to her and tore off the mask on her face, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
"Hey! What are you doing? I haven't finished applying it yet! This Kiehl's is over 300!"
Lu Yuanhu was immediately furious and shouted, "You don't feel bad about losing tens of millions of dollars worth of tea cakes in the water, but you feel bad about losing a face mask worth over 300 yuan, right?"
Shi Lingyu was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"
"Where's that tea cake?" Lu Yuanhu asked, grabbing her shoulders. "Did you go into the kitchen just now? Did you see that tea cake?"
Shi Lingyu had already put that little thing behind her and said nonchalantly, "Oh, you mean that one? I threw it away."
"Where did you throw it?" Lu Yuanhu's eyebrows twitched.
"A trash can." Shi Lingyu said.
"Why did you throw it away?!" Lu Yuanhu shouted.
"That thing doesn't have a production date, so we don't know when it will go bad. What if we accidentally drink it and end up getting sick? Besides, tea eggs are only meant to be tasted once, so how can we eat them every day?"
Lu Yuanhu pointed outwards and said, "Find it back for me."
"ah?"
"I told you to get it back for me!" Lu Yuanhu was furious. "If you threw it in the trash can, pick it up from the trash can. If you threw it in the toilet, take it out of the toilet. In short, get my tea cake back for me!"
"What's wrong with you today?" Shi Lingyu slapped her face with lotion, making a "slap, slap" sound. "Why are you so excited? You haven't had an argument in a few days, are you feeling a bit uncomfortable?"
"Do you know how much that tea cake is worth?!" Lu Yuanhu asked, "That one piece is worth tens of millions!"
Shi Lingyu paused, then continued to slap her face: "What kind of dream are you having?"
"That's what Mr. Ming said!" Lu Yuanhu was so anxious that he jumped up and pulled his wife off the dressing table. "Go find it for me!"
At this time, Sister Huang came hurriedly holding a trash can and said, "I found it, sir, I found it!"
Regardless of the dirt, Lu Yuanhu reached into the trash can and took out the remaining half of the tea cake that was half wrapped in oil paper.
There was less than half left, just a little more than one-third, and loose tea kept falling from the cake. He immediately cried out of heartache.
