Chapter 99 98. Kataro's Tea [Two in One]
Huaiyu finally brought Boss Tang back and showed him the location.
Through the bright glass door, the two could clearly see Uncle Zaozi pouring water with a kettle. Boss Tang took a breath, and tried to hold it in, but finally couldn't and knocked on the door carefully.
"Well..." He hesitated: "Xiao Yu said that your products are selling well..."
Uncle Zaozi's eyes lit up, and he had clearly seen Huaiyu behind Boss Tang. He quickly put down the kettle and rushed out:
"Xiao Yu! Are you introducing me to a client? Hey, don't be so polite - come on! I was just about to say that it's boring to drink tea alone!"
Xiao Yu protested three times: "No, I really can't...Uncle Zaozi, I'm weak and can't drink tea!"
"Oh." This is a good reason. After all, she is thin and weak now. Although it is better than before, the improvement is limited. It seems that she is not getting enough nutrition.
Uncle Zaozi said generously, "It's okay. Come in with your friend and take a look. Is that okay? I'll get you some water."
He was really enthusiastic. It was obvious that after the catastrophe a few years ago, all his previous leisure time and hobbies of hanging out with friends were gone.
Now, if I suddenly get a piece of tea that I think is of the best quality but have no friends to share it with, it would be like walking in the night in fine clothes - what can I do?
Boss Tang was very interested in it and went in reluctantly, but he didn't know how to drink it.
At this moment, he just waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't drink it either. I... cough, I'm taking medicine, and this tea will affect the medicine."
"Oh..." Uncle Zaozi was even more disappointed. He looked at Boss Tang's chubby body at this moment - it stands to reason that drinking some tea would have no effect on the three highs, right?
He shook his head sympathetically, "Isn't diabetes hard to deal with these days?"
Boss Tang: ...
He finally understood why Xiaoyu had failed here, and he couldn't explain it no matter how hard he tried.
I didn't say anything at this moment, just took it as my consent.
This store is a household goods grocery store, selling everything from textiles to small household items, and the space is quite spacious.
The entire cash register is a large long table, which is just convenient for Uncle Zaozi to set out his own set of tea sets on it.
An old model enamel tray with a red Double Happiness pattern. Boss Tang suspected that this tray, like his batch of bicycles, was found at a film and television base in the suburbs.
A common glass cup sold in a two-dollar store. It has nothing special about it, but it’s big enough.
Probably the only thing that can be called a tea set is the covered bowl.
But the glaze is also ordinary, like industrial assembly line porcelain. In the past, you could buy one for just a dozen or twenty yuan.
Huaiyu sat there in silence, watching Uncle Zaozi pick up the kettle, raise his arm in an official manner, and pour a thin stream of water into the snow-white covered bowl.
Then pinch the edge of the bowl with your thumb and middle finger, hold the lid with your index finger, turn it left and right and shake it a few times, then pour out the hot water.
It must be said that he seemed to drink tea quite often, as he was now quite skilled in warming the teacup.
But whenever Boss Tang looked up at Taro's black ball next to him, and thought about Kataro standing at the door with the ball every day, he really wanted to laugh, so he had to tighten his face even more seriously.
Uncle Zaozi also sighed: "Don't be nervous. This thing is hard to find nowadays, right?"
"But Xiaoyu, you really have a lot of goodies. I don't know where you got this tea from, it's quite special."
Huaiyu gave a dry smile and looked at Boss Tang again.
Boss Tang also cleared his throat: "This doesn't look like tea. Are you sure it's drinkable? Don't get sick from it..."
"Tsk." Uncle Zaozi no longer trusted them. "I've been drinking tea for half my life. How could I not know if it's tea? At most, the tea leaves have mutated and are not quite the same as I remember... but I guarantee it's drinkable!"
"You can't drink it anyway, so just smell the aroma. I'll drink it for you to see."
Huaiyu lowered his head, thinking that she didn't come to see the tea, but to be prepared for any eventuality.
When I looked up again, Uncle Zaozi had already washed the first cup of tea and started to make the second cup.
You know what, it smells really good.
Huaiyu sniffed subconsciously, then remembered Kataro standing there holding the black ball and greeting him, and subconsciously held his breath again.
Boss Tang looked at the brewed tea leaves with a bleak face and a complicated expression.
Among the three, only Uncle Zaozi was genuinely happy. He opened the lid and took a look, and couldn't help wondering:
"What kind of tea is this? The fermentation process is different from before... The leaves are all crushed into powder, making it look like the tea made in ancient times. Do I have to learn how to stir it to make a bubble?"
Boss Tang and Huai Yu looked at each other and laughed dryly.
Meanwhile, Uncle Zaozi picked up the covered bowl and poured tea to share with the two of them, but after thinking about it, he sighed regretfully, turned around and served each of them a glass of water.
Then he took out a glass, looked at the golden tea inside, and couldn't help but take a deep breath:
"Oh, this smell..."
"Um..." Huaiyu said again: "Uncle Zaozi, I really haven't tested this... How about I go and test it first?"
Uncle Zaozi looked at her, shook his head and sighed, then gently drank the tea in the cup.
At this moment, Huaiyu and Boss Tang both widened their eyes and held their breath, staring at his face.
Uncle Zaozi closed his eyes and gently swallowed the tea. At this moment he couldn't help but sigh.
“What a great tea!”
Taking another look at the two of them, he clicked his tongue and shook his head again.
After drinking a cup of tea, he sighed: "It's not easy... I can still drink tea now... Hey, sister Xiaoyu, didn't your two brothers find a way to get this thing?"
"Do you want to sell it? Tell me a price."
Huaiyu shook his head decisively: "No, no, no! There aren't many of these..."
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Zaozi suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Hiss... I feel like going to the toilet... Um, Xiaoyu, you and your friend can help me for a while!"
Huaiyu instantly became nervous: "Does your stomach hurt? Does it hurt a lot?"
Uncle Zaozi waved his hand and hurried into the toilet, leaving the two of them outside, staring at each other in bewilderment: "Did he get sick from drinking so much?"
Boss Tang looked at the dark green crumbs in the bowl and was not sure at this moment: "I don't know... Xiaoyu, if there is really a problem, I will help pay for the medicine... But you must not tell anyone about Ketaro!"
Gao Ming is always doing weird things like this. If he is targeted as a Frankenstein, his transformation period will probably take a long time! Moreover, he has kept Taro for almost a week. He just likes to be clean. Taro is still a good Taro... If it is taken away, it can't talk. How can Boss Tang bear it! Huai Yu also nodded seriously. At this moment, he regretted that he shouldn't have felt so aggrieved just now, so he poured so many Taro balls at once.
Five minutes later, Uncle Zaozi came out with a relaxed look on his face, and exclaimed when he saw Huaiyu:
"Good tea! Good tea!"
He touched his flat belly, his expression full of satisfaction: "You don't know that I have been constipated for a long time. I just went to the toilet... Ouch! Ouch!"
Uncle Zaozi slapped his thigh and said solemnly: "Xiaoyu, I see you really don't like this tea, why don't you sell it to me? Don't worry, I can afford the price!"
Huaiyu was confused.
Looking at Boss Tang again, he was also confused.
…
The two racked their brains and took great effort to finally get rid of Uncle Zaozi.
Huaiyu stared at the black balls in the basket and asked Boss Tang, who had a complicated look on his face, "Do you want to sell them? If you do, I'll give them back to you."
Boss Tang sighed and shook his head repeatedly: "What a sin..."
He refused to accept the idea of earning this much money, so Huaiyu had to carry the basket of crown balls away.
When she returned home, she looked at the basket of black balls that were originally used as fermented fertilizer, and she was a little struggling.
At once……
She didn't intend to drink it herself, but Uncle Zaozi liked it so much. Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste if she just buried it in the soil as fertilizer?
After thinking about it, Huai Yu packed a bag and took it to the bamboo forest behind the house.
The bamboo forest was still in a mess, with new bamboos and broken bamboo shoots mixed together, and many bamboos lying around in all directions. However, the Whack-a-Mole battle in the center of the forest seemed to have ended.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When the two goslings saw her, they ran up screaming “Ahhh!”, their round sea urchin bodies supported by their thin long legs. It was really hard to look at.
But he really grew too fast. In just one or two days, he had grown stronger.
How great it would be if the soybeans in the field could grow at this speed without being forced to grow!
Seeing them, Huaiyu squatted down and opened the bag:
"This... do you guys want to eat it?"
The two goslings stretched their slender necks into the bag, and then poked with their flat beaks—
Crumbled, but not eaten.
Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he dumped the crumbs into the bamboo forest again, and asked softly, "Kuang Biao, do you need this?"
After a while, some bamboo roots arched underground and rolled the debris scattered on the bamboo leaves into the soil.
Then, Kuang Biao, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed: "It's okay... I feel that it's not as good as the shit they pooped."
Huaiyu: ...
Plants need fertilizer, she knows this very well. But when she says it like this, it always feels a little weird...
"Kuang Biao, you sound like you're eating shit when you say that."
The mad tiger swayed instantly, and a bamboo leaf fell down! However, before it landed in front of Huai Yu, two geese stretched their necks and poked it in mid-air.
It's messy again.
"A-zai! Mommy's sweet baby!" Huaiyu was so moved that she carefully held their sea urchins' bodies and said, "Mommy has decided - from now on, your names will be Dazai and Erzai! Although I can't tell them apart, just call Dazai and Erzai and both of you come over here!"
After she finished speaking, she stepped on the bamboo on the ground again and said, "Kuang Biao, if you don't behave yourself, I'll tell Rose Corridor."
Then she led the two goslings out of the bamboo forest and said, "Come, come, can you swim now? I'll dig a pond for you. It will all belong to you from now on!"
"But you can't touch lotus leaves and lotus roots, they are expensive."
The eldest and second cubs didn't know whether they understood or not, but they followed Huaiyu, jumping and hopping in the bamboo forest, and finally successfully led him to the pond! "Look! Is the pond big? You can swim freely!"
As she spoke, she looked at the two goslings expectantly.
However, two sea urchin geese stood on the shore, hesitating with their feet, paddling the water for a long time, and then quickly retracting them.
Huaiyu: ???
Wait, she hasn’t had time to watch the movie “The Unreachable Lover” about raising geese! Are the geese too small to go into the water?
And look at their hedgehog-like feathers...
Huaiyu paused, then compromised and said, "It's okay, not all geese are born to swim. Today I'm mainly showing you the territory - from now on this entire territory is ours, you can walk around freely."
“Ahhh…”
The eldest and second cubs cried out again, and this time they poked with their flat mouths and dug out a bunch of grass leaves with roots from the edge of the pond.
Huaiyu sighed, thought about it, and went back to the house to find the 15 kilograms of barnyard grass seeds he had bought that day.
The variation of this one is that its roots are very deep, and any root can be 5 meters long. Huai Yu is afraid that they will occupy the territory, so he hasn't planted them yet.
But what if you try planting one next to a pond?
It's not possible that it can take root in water, right?
She chose a place by the pond farthest from her home, then carefully took out three seeds, thought for a while, and took out three more seeds.
"The left side induces birth, the right side purifies... I wonder if there will be any different changes?"
The seeds were sprinkled into the wet soil. Huai Yu stretched out his hands, one on each side, to try out the changes that his ability could bring about.
Three minutes later, the seeds were motionless.
After another ten minutes of using both abilities at the same time, she was a little tired.
Ten minutes later, Huaiyu was exhausted and decided to call it a day.
"ah!"
She screamed and fell to the ground.
And close to the sides of the body, there are three thick green leaves like spirals on each side, rising up into the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye - rising -
Until Huai Yu raised his head completely, staring blankly at the green leaf with the front end slightly drooping above him.
Look at the three purifying ones on the right. They are not that tall, only about two meters high, and the leaves are not that thick.
Look at the three on the left. Because they used the power of growth, not only are the leaves thick, but they are also incredibly tall - you need to look up completely to see them.
She stared blankly, her neck sore from tilting her head back, and could only see something transparent condensing at the front of the green leaf.
What is it?
It was hard to see clearly from the angle directly below. Could it be that the barnyard grass would soon produce ears, flowers, and seeds? At this moment, her thoughts were complicated, and there was only one thought in her mind -
This mutant plant... is really good at mutation! In contrast, the plants on Mount Sanqing are too conservative! They are not as bold as them in mutation! The next moment, with a "splash", a huge ball of water fell down, landing right on top of her head, soaking her to the bone in the spring evening.
——Oh, it’s the dew that condensed on the leaves when the mutant grew! Huai Yu looked up blankly, and sneezed violently when the evening breeze blew.
Here I come! Good night! Tomorrow is the last day of this month, I will try to update early and hold on to my remaining full attendance! I just checked the two books and I have written nearly 250,000 words this month (including tomorrow's)...
I'm too strong!!! No wonder I'm so tired!
