Chapter 176 The first meeting of Li Xiu and Yi Niang

Seeing that Fan'er actually got back a hundred cents, Yi Niang was very alert while being surprised, worried that she would be deceived and take advantage of her. Fan'er didn't want to hide it from Yi Niang anymore, so she told her story about selling her own tea.

"Fan'er, you said that you just fry the leaves of the tea tree, and then someone would be willing to spend hundreds of dollars to buy them?" After hearing Fan'er's story, the silly asked in disbelief, saying, "How can you make money in the world be so simple?

"No, Sister Yi Niang, you don't know. Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. Fried tea seems simple, but it is difficult to stir-fry well. And... and..." Fan'er saw that Yi Niang didn't believe it, and then he also anxiously explained, but the more anxious he was, the less he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Okay, Fan'er, don't say it anymore. Although I don't know what the purpose of the person who taught you to fry tea and buy your tea, I can be sure that he is absolutely unhappy and takes me to see the other party with the money!" The lady in the air said again at this time, and it was not that she didn't believe Fan'er, but Fan'er's words were too unbelievable.

"Sister Yi Niang, things are really not what you think, that person buys..."

"Okay, no matter what the other party is concerned about, it is too easy for you to sell so much money by just frying a few tea leaves. Even if the other party really bought it, you are too advantageous. We cannot take such a big advantage, otherwise we will be uneasy to take care of the money!" The lady in the air taught her a lesson again. She is a person who is worthless and will definitely not take advantage of others.

Seeing that the lady Yi was really angry, Fan'er didn't dare to say anything else. She silently picked up her purse and followed the lady Yi out of the yard, and then took her to the place where Li Xiu was fishing.

Li Xiu then raised the fishing rod by the river, and a charcoal stove was burning water next to it. Since the powder brought the tea, he had no intention of fishing again, so he ran home and brought supplies such as charcoal stoves and kettles, planning to make a pot of tea while fishing.

There were already steam coming out of the mouth of the iron pot, and a "gulp~gulp~" sound was also made inside. The water inside was about to open. Speaking of the water used for making tea, you must use an iron pot. Some people like to use gold pots, silver pots, or even glass pots, which is simply a big mistake.

This is mainly because when the iron kettle boils water, it releases a trace of divalent iron, which will increase the slightly sweet taste of the tea and make the tea more fragrant and mellow. For example, the ancients were very concerned about using water when making tea, and even classified water from all over the country. Later scientists found that all the so-called good waters are waters with higher divalent iron elements, so if you want to drink good water, the easiest way to boil water in an iron kettle.

Seeing that the water in the iron kettle was about to open, Li Xiu poured out a few tea leaves in a tea bowl. He was about to lift the water off the fire, but suddenly he heard footsteps coming from behind again, and it sounded more than one person. This made him stunned. Then he stood up and turned around and looked. As a result, a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen years old walked over quickly. She had a pair of cold single phoenix eyes under her long eyebrows, which seemed not easy to get close to.

When the angel saw a young man standing by the river, she couldn't help but be stunned. She saw that the other person looked handsome and had an extraordinary temperament. Especially after seeing her, a playful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, which made people beat hard. Will such a man really deceive a little girl like fans?

Just when Li Xiu met Yi Niang, Fan'er finally caught up from behind. Seeing Li Xiu, she was quite embarrassed to smile, and then she whispered to Yi Niang: "It's just the tea that this young man bought."

Hearing Fan'er's words, the lady finally woke up from her dullness. She looked at Li Xiu for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration in her mind said, "You are Li Xiu!"

"You are the lady in the air. I hope you don't get used to it last time!" Li Xiu did not expect that when he met Niang Yi in this situation, he had to show a gentle smile and said, in fact, the relationship between them was quite awkward, which was also the main reason why he had always avoided meeting with each other.

If Yi Niang has no resentment towards Li Xiu in her heart, it must be a lie. After all, for a woman, she was dressed up as a bride and sent to the other party's door, but the other party was unwilling to accept herself. This was a huge blow to a woman's self-esteem. Of course, from a rational point of view, she could also understand Li Xiu, so Yi Niang's impression of Li Xiu has always been in a very contradictory state.

"The last time the Pei family was wrong first, so it was justified that Mr. Li refused. What's more, the young master gave us a place to live afterwards, which was enough!" The lady in the air struggled for a while, and in the end, rationality gained the upper hand. After all, both he and Li Xiu were both victims of this matter.

"Thank you for understanding!" Li Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. Unexpectedly, that old bastard Pei Ju could teach such a reasonable daughter, which is a strange story in the world.

At this time, Yi Niang calmed down and finally remembered her purpose of coming here. She immediately took the purse from Fan'er and handed it to Li Xiu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but Yi Niang and Fan'er can support themselves and do not need other people's charity!"

"Uh?" Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he looked at the purse handed over by the other party, and then he realized that he couldn't help but smile helplessly, "You misunderstood, you are not a gift, but a pink man's labor income. She cooked the tea I like and I gave her the corresponding reward. This is a very fair transaction. How can I say the word "charity"?"

"Although Yi Niang is a woman, the young master doesn't have to use such words to deceive me. She just picks the leaves of the tea tree and stir-frys them. It cannot be called tea at all. If such things can be bought for such a high price, wouldn't that be a big joke?" Yi Niang said stubbornly. At this time, her sentiment began to gain the upper hand, and the resentment towards Li Xiu in her heart also came.

Li Xiu could understand Yi Niang's mood, and knew that sometimes it was really hard to convince people by just speaking. The kettle behind him made a "gugu~" sound, so Li Xiu suddenly smiled and said, "Yi Niang, if you don't believe in the fried tea with powder, why not sit down and taste it?"

Li Xiu said, suddenly sat cross-legged on the grass, reached out to make a call, and then without waiting for the mother-in-law to respond, he picked up the tea bowl and put it on the grass, then picked up the kettle to fill the bowl with water. The water to wash the tea naturally had to be poured out, and then poured the water for a second time, and the tea leaves inside slowly unfolded with the water flow.

Faced with Li Xiu's invitation, Yi Niang was at first a little at a loss, wanting to refuse but not knowing how to speak. Finally, she saw that Li Xiu had even poured the tea, which made her grit her teeth and sit down. Then she picked up the tea bowl and blew it gently for a few times before she slowly took a sip.

It was a bit bitter, but after it was bitter, it had a bit of sweetness and fragrance, which surprised the lady. When she was in Pei Mansion, she had studied tea art in her past, but she didn't like the taste of tea very much. However, she didn't expect that the taste of tea made from fried noodles was so unique. Although it was her first time drinking it, she suddenly felt that she had fallen in love with this taste.

"Sister Yi Niang, how does the tea I stir-fried taste?" Seeing the unexpected expression on Yi Niang's face, Fan Er asked curiously. Although she knew how to stir-fried tea, she had never tasted the taste of her own fried tea. It was not that she didn't want to drink it, but that Li Xiu didn't tell her that this kind of tea only needs to be brewed with boiling water to drink.

"It's bitter first and then sweet, it's a different flavor!" The lady in her tone was also a little admiring. After saying that, she looked at Li Xiu again, and then asked in confusion, "I remember Fan'er said that this kind of stir-fried tea was told by Mr. Li. Since Mr. Li had known this kind of stir-fried tea for a long time, why didn't he stir-fried it yourself, but let the flour make it?"

"I told Fan'er to stir-fry tea, but I only know that there is such a thing, but I don't know how to stir-fry it. Moreover, I am very lazy and don't like to do it myself. Fan'er is determined to develop this way of stir-frying tea by himself, and has also worked a lot of hard work for it. Look at her hands, there must be some hot blisters that have not yet disappeared." Li Xiu waved his hands, and most of what he said was the truth, and naturally he looked like he took it for granted.

When Yi Niang heard this, she hurriedly grabbed Fan'er's hand. Sure enough, she found that there were a lot of blisters on her little hand that had not yet disappeared, which made her feel a little bit blaming. During this period, she only cared about embroidery, but ignored Yi Niang, and didn't even know that her hand was burned.

"Sister Yi Niang, it's okay, it's just a few small bubbles, and it will disappear in a few days!" Fan'er saw Yi Niang's guilty expression, and now comforted her that she could help her make money, which made her feel extremely proud.

"Well, thank you for your hard work in Fan'er!" The lady suddenly felt her nose sore and tears almost burst out, but in the end she still held back and did not let the tears fall, because she didn't want to shed tears in front of others, especially the person next to her was Li Xiu.

After a while, Yi Niang turned around and bowed to Li Xiuying, "Although the fried tea was successfully developed, it was thanks to Mr. Li's guidance. Yi Niang thanked the young master here for the fans!"

"You don't have to be polite, but you'd better prepare more fried tea during this period. Yesterday, the princess and Princess Qin liked it very much. I guess they will send someone to buy some soon!" Li Xiu smiled again and said, "Princess Pingyang said in person yesterday that she wanted to buy tea, and she would probably send someone to come soon."

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Yi Niang suddenly felt powerless. She actually refused Li Xiu's help in her heart, but now the help Li Xiu gave them made her unable to refuse, because these are all indirect help, and there was no way to refuse. This made Yi Niang sigh and could only accept this reality silently. (To be continued.)
