The old lady didn't linger. She left a message for Chen Hong and hurriedly returned to the hotel with the tea that Chen Hong had packed for her.
When Zhou Yi's mother returned to the hotel suite, Zhou's uncle and father had just returned from fishing and were chatting over tea.
Meanwhile, staff member Xiao Xue went to the restaurant to reserve the lunch menu and was not in the suite.
Zhou Yi's dad is very happy today. He's going back to Beijing tomorrow and won't have another chance to go sea fishing, which had initially made him quite disappointed.
Unexpectedly, there were far fewer people at the fishing spot today, allowing the two brothers to snag two great spots. Their catch this morning was excellent.
Four grouper were caught, and they were all quite large, weighing two or three pounds, which is quite good for a fishing spot by the sea.
I also caught quite a few other sea bass, rockfish, black sea bream, yellow sea bream, and bigeye snapper. In total, I caught over 100 pounds, which was a real bumper harvest.
If it weren't for Xiao Xue accompanying them, the two brothers wouldn't have been able to get back today!
"Ugh! A full catch is such a hassle! If it weren't for the rising temperature and Xiao Xue's constant urging to come back, worried you'd get heatstroke, I could have caught five or six fish before lunch."
Zhou Yi's father took a satisfied sip of tea and spoke smugly to Zhou's uncle.
Uncle Zhou glanced at him sideways and said, "Is that your skill? If it weren't for the bait that Chen Hong provided, you would be dreaming if you thought you could catch so many fish!"
Second brother, we got a good fishing spot today because there was something going on in the village and fewer people were fishing at the spot. That's what you call a good location.
The weather is fine today, and there's no wind—that's the right timing. We also have Chen Hong's specially prepared, exclusive bait—that's the right people.
We've got the perfect timing, location, and people. If we still can't catch any fish, we'll be two complete idiots. What's the point of fishing then?
He followed the others to the village to see what was going on and hear the gossip.
Zhou Yi's father also thought of this matter, "I wonder if Xiao Xue has found out what happened?"
But it's okay if you can't find out. It's understandable that the young man is too embarrassed to ask about such trivial matters.
Your sister-in-law went to Chen Hong's house; women will definitely gossip about these things, and she'll surely find out the details.
Uncle Zhou poured himself another cup of fragrant tea while jokingly teasing his younger brother.
"I've noticed you've become increasingly gossipy since coming to the countryside."
A large-scale armed conflict is about to break out in someone else's village, and you, as a retired cadre, still have the leisure to gossip?
Zhou Yi's father chuckled, "Large-scale armed conflict? Who are you trying to scare?"
Do you really think I don't understand? This isn't the old society anymore, where bloodshed broke out over the size of a plot of land for irrigation.
Although rural residents today don't live a comfortable life, almost every household has a large color TV. And mobile phones are common, with at least one for most people, not just the elderly.
If a large-scale conflict were to occur, aside from other concerned citizens, village officials would definitely prevent the police from calling the police.
Nowadays, television media broadcasts legal education programs every day.
After so many years of legal education, rural people have developed a strong sense of the rule of law.
While minor skirmishes in the village could not be completely eliminated, large-scale armed conflicts rarely occurred.
Moreover, I heard from the villagers at dinner last night that this matter is just a conflict between the two families, and there is no major hatred involved.
The two families are connected by relatives and friends, so they're unlikely to fight easily. They also need to consider how to get along with their relatives and friends in the future!
Besides, I'm not blind. Didn't you arrange for Xiao Xue to keep an eye on this matter in the village since this morning?
With you here holding the fort, where would I get a chance to shine?
Uncle Zhou nodded seriously, picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, "Not bad, you're getting old but you haven't lost your vigilance yet, not bad!"
But second brother, we're running low on tea leaves, so we need to be careful with how we drink it.
I wonder how well my sister-in-law fared on her trip to Chen Hong's house? I'm just worried that Chen Hong probably doesn't have much of such high-quality tea in stock.
If we run out, we'll soon be starving. If we can't drink this kind of cloud and mist tea anymore, life won't feel worthwhile.
"Brother, you're exaggerating! It's a real shame we can't drink such good tea."
But it's not that life is tasteless! At most, it's just that there's not much fun in it.
"That's all? Just tell me if this tea is good or not. If we really run out of it, do you want some?"
Zhou Yi's father scratched his forehead and chuckled, "Of course he'd want to! Such good tea is so good, it'll make anyone addicted after just one sip!"
Brother, this tea isn't about whether it's fragrant or delicious.
Have you noticed that this tea has strong medicinal and health benefits?
Since you came to Yujia Village and started drinking this tea, your heart has never felt uncomfortable.
Xiao Xue measured the blood sugar and blood pressure of the three of us every day, and they were all very stable and normal.
His appetite increased significantly, and he no longer had any dietary restrictions. He ate everything and had no taboos.
I actually feel more energetic, I can sleep well, and I have a good appetite. I feel like I've regained the physical condition I had when I was forty.
Now I can go for a morning run with Xiao Xue again. If I keep exercising, maybe I'll even be able to box again!
"Second brother, you know your own physical condition. I'm not stupid as much as you. I sensed this a long time ago."
I have already given orders to Xiao Xue that from now on, he must not disclose any information about Yunwu Tea to anyone.
Yunwu tea is no ordinary tea. In 1997, I drank top-grade Da Hong Pao from the mother tree twice at my former boss's place.
Well, Da Hong Pao and Yunwu tea are not the same variety; after all, their flavors are quite different.
The top-grade Da Hong Pao tea is indeed fragrant and pure, but as for any legendary medicinal or health benefits, I haven't really felt any.
Of course, it's also possible that I haven't drunk it often enough to show any specific therapeutic effects!
However, it is impossible to rely on the medicinal effects of top-grade Da Hong Pao tea.
That tea was so precious that the old leader had only been allocated it twice over the years, and each time it was only half an ounce.
The national treasure, King Tea, speaks volumes!
However, compared to the Laoshan Yunwu tea that Chen Hong gave her, the difference in taste, aroma, and medicinal and health benefits is enormous.
It's no exaggeration to say they're worlds apart!
Just then, Zhou Yi's mother pushed open the door and came in, just in time to hear Zhou's uncle's last words.
The old lady plopped down on the sofa, pointed at the teapot, and nodded to her husband.
Continuing from Uncle Zhou's words, he said, "Brother, you really have a good idea. Your vision is also better than ours."
I got another pound of tea for Chen Hong, but she said it was a gift from someone else and the production was very limited.
Moreover, they don't want this information to be spread; the tea's effects are too good, and they're afraid it will cause trouble.
Chen Hong felt the same way; she only had one jin left.
Whether we can get it next year is still unknown, and we four are asked to keep it a secret.
These two pounds of tea leaves were all given to us by Chen Hong herself, painstakingly saving them from her own mouth.
