Metropolitan Dad: Signing One Year Identity Was Exposed

Chapter 48 Homecoming Tea, Professor Chang Dean

Zhang Xiao was holding a book in one hand and vegetables in the other. He looked like he was visiting the door in the village. He walked up to the old janitor, took out a paper bag from the bag and handed it over: “Meeting for the first time, inside. It is hand-made ginger tea, which is good for the health of the elderly. A little gift is not a respect.”

The old janitor was startled slightly. Obviously he didn’t expect that Zhang Xiao would prepare a gift for him the first time he came to the house. Although it was not expensive, it was obviously given according to the needs of the old man.

Not to mention anything else, this intention alone made the old man at the door have a lot of goodwill towards him.

The old janitor took ginger tea with a smile, nodded and said: “Good boy, good boy…”

He is just an ordinary janitor, he has no knowledge, and he does not pay attention to any routines. He is an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary. If he thinks a person is good, it is good, even if he is praised, he is extremely simple.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: “Ginger tea is good, but it’s easy to get angry if you drink too much. You can relax a little bit.” “Know, know!” said the old doorman with a smile.

Walking into the yard, Chang Dean had already walked out of the vegetable field, followed by a man with a sickle, both of whom had muddy water on their bodies.

The man is Chang Dean’s assistant and bodyguard, a retired soldier named Huo Ze.

The two of them were pulling weeds and digging holes in the field early in the morning. The father wanted a variety of tomatoes, so he could eat some vegetables he grew later.

Chang Dean took the prepared towel from Huo Ze, wiped his hands, looked at Zhang Xiao and smiled: “Come on!”

“Good morning, you!” Zhang Xiao greeted very sincerely.

At this time, the old janitor raised the ginger tea in his hand and said in a flaunting tone: “This young man brought me ginger tea. I will make you a cup of ginger tea later.”

“You old boy, did you show it to me?” Chang Dean cursed with a smile, then looked at Zhang Xiao, and said, “It’s good, knowing that you respect the old man, it’s very polite, but since you brought him a gift, then What about me? Let’s say yes first, I’m satisfied. I will leave for dinner at noon. If you’re not satisfied, you won’t be allowed to drink tea.”

Although Chang De’an said so, his eyes were full of approval. He knew very well that none of the people who came to the house before could look at the old man at the door.

This old man himself is of ordinary origin, and his words and deeds are no different from those of the real bottom of society. For so many years, there are not many people who have brought him gifts for the first time at the door.

Zhang Xiao smiled and passed the book in his hand to Chang Dean, and said, “I have picked it for a long time, and I think this one is right for you!”

Chang Dean took a look, and was stunned. After a few seconds, he burst into laughter and said, “You kid, it’s really interesting. Go, go in for tea!”

In fact, that is a recipe, it looks very ordinary and nothing special, but it is such a recipe that makes Chang Dean so happy.

Huo Ze looked a little surprised, but the look in Zhang Xiao’s eyes gave him a hint of appreciation. This young man is still quite clever. What kind of book hasn’t been read for tasks like Chang Dean?

Even if you get a world-class solitary book, he may not necessarily like it, but Zhang Xiao took another shortcut and bought him a recipe, which looks very ordinary. In fact, he has reached Chang Dean’s age. With a lonely family, how much more can you pursue for people?

It’s nothing more than eating and drinking well, waiting until the legs are kicked, the loess is covered, and the world is completely said goodbye.

People who don’t have much ideas have such simple needs. The most unpretentious things are what they need most. It is precisely because Zhang Xiao has seen through the human form to solve the problem fundamentally, and it turns out that the recipe he chose is not It suits Chang Dean’s appetite.

Crossing the gravel-paved road, Chang Dean kept introducing the flowers and plants along the way to Zhang Xiao. It was obvious that he liked these flowers and plants very much, so when he introduced them, he was right.

Zhang Xiao occasionally responded twice, saying that he was still listening, but he didn’t take the initiative to talk to him about things that he was not very good at, and quietly became a listener.

Elderly people like to be long-winded. This is due to age. Sometimes they don’t need you to follow along. They just need to be alone and listen quietly. Zhang Xiao sat down well to this point.

After arriving in the house, Chang Dean said with satisfaction: “It’s been so long, but I still feel the most comfortable talking to you.”

Zhang Xiao smiled and took the gap from Huo Ze, and said: “You feel comfortable, sit down and rest a while, I’ll make tea!”

“That’s fine, you can make it today!” Chang Dean sat at the table with great interest, and said to Huo Ze who was standing aside: “Don’t go, go back and taste the tea he made. It’s delicious. To make a compliment, if it doesn’t taste good, splash his face on me, wasting my good tea.”

Of course, this is purely a joke, and there are not many people in the world who can make Chang De’an such a joke.

Strictly speaking, it was only the second time he and Zhang Xiao met, but the relationship between the two seemed to have known each other for a long, long time, even Huo Ze was surprised.

Zhang Xiao’s every move is very much in line with Chang Dean’s mind. He is like a roundworm in the belly of an old man, knowing what kind of results he most wants to see.

Zhang Xiao skillfully washes tea, makes tea, divides the difference, and everything goes on in an orderly manner.

Making tea is also very particular. Many people have been studying this all their lives. Nowadays, there are many teahouses in many places. It is no longer just playing mahjong, but also promoting the real ancient way of making tea.

For those who are leisurely, drinking tea in this way is very interesting, for ordinary people, it is a waste of time.

Most people are more accustomed to pinching a handful of goji berries into the thermos, no matter how much hot water it is, it will be over when it is full.

How can I think of Zhang Xiao, a series of dozens of steps, every step is organized, elegant movements, it looks like a veteran who has been studying tea ceremony for many years, even Chang Dean nodded secretly.

As far as the skill of making tea is concerned, there is nothing wrong with it. Chang Dean asked, “Have you studied it before?”

“It doesn’t count, I have learned with others for a few days in my free time.” Zhang Xiao said, handing the divided tea cup to Chang Dean first.

Chang Dean picked it up, took a sip, nodded and said in praise: “Well, not bad!”

Then, Zhang Xiao took another cup in front of Da Huo Ze, who also took a cup, took a sip, his eyes lit up slightly.

He has been following Chang Dean for some years, and he often accompanies him to drink tea. Although he doesn’t know much about the tea ceremony, he can still drink the tea well or not.

The tea that Zhang Xiao makes has a mellow taste and a full aftertaste. It swirls in his mouth, and the side is full of fragrance, which lasts for a long time. In addition to being good for tea, it also proves that his tea making skills are in place.

Otherwise, no matter how good the tea is, if it is soaked in a bucket, it will not have such a strong fragrance.
