Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven
#1377 - Chapter 1377: Chun Yan or Xia Yan?
Before long, the middle-aged man led Chen Tian and the others to an elegant room with a window on the fifth floor.
The entire south wall of the room had been hollowed out and made into a huge window, facing directly towards Flower Fairy Valley, allowing those sitting here to easily take in the magnificent scenery of Flower Fairy Valley!
It was clear that the person who built this room had put a lot of thought into it, hoping that every guest who came here to dine would be able to experience the most perfect experience and reap the most pleasant mood.
And this kind of care and consideration was far beyond what this middle-aged man could have imagined, so Chen Tian was certain that this elegant room must have been the work of the old man who saved him back then.
Looking at the antique room in front of him, the memories that Chen Tian had suppressed resurfaced like playful infants, involuntarily jumping out, making Chen Tian feel sentimental and stunned in place.
"Young Master Yang? Are you alright?"
At this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to notice Chen Tian's strangeness, and after frowning, he stepped forward and asked.
Hearing this, the memories in Chen Tian's mind, like a rolling tide, suddenly surged back, and a smile appeared on his face as he faintly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's take our seats."
With that, Chen Tian gently took Qin Yi's small hand, and the two of them sat down together at the round table that had already been cleaned up. Following closely behind, Su Yingxue and Han Wuming also took their seats.
"To welcome all of you distinguished guests, our humble establishment has already prepared a table of wine and dishes, please enjoy." Only after everyone was seated did the middle-aged man reveal a flattering smile, and then he clapped his hands and said, "Bring it in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter who had just left not long ago came in again, carrying a large food box.
Seeing this, Chen Tian and the others couldn't help but smile, realizing that this inn had become so dilapidated that there were only two people left. Besides the middle-aged man as the shopkeeper, there was only the waiter as a helper.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but cast a trace of sympathy towards the waiter.
This food box seemed extremely heavy, and the waiter used all his milking strength to "huff... huff" before finally moving it to Chen Tian and the others.
After letting out a breath, he opened the food box and took out the wine and dishes that had already been prepared inside.
The first thing he took out was a pot of green tea and a wine jar sealed with yellow mud. As soon as it was placed on the table, the middle-aged man explained with a smiling face, "Everyone, this pot of Rain Before Spring Swallow Tea is specially prepared for you. To be honest, this tea is extremely rare, with an annual output of only a few hundred kilograms, and it is exclusively for the use of the royal family and nobles, its price comparable to gold! Our humble establishment also spent a lot of money to get these few taels. If it weren't for the arrival of you distinguished guests, ordinary customers, I would never be willing to take it out."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man raised the teapot and poured a cup for everyone, and immediately, a wisp of fragrance emanated, which was also refreshing.
Following that, the middle-aged man pointed to the wine jar in front of everyone and said, "Also, this pot of Zhuangyuan Red has been hidden underground since the time of my ancestors, and it has been hundreds of years since then. Only when entertaining the most distinguished guests will I take out a jar, it can be said that you can't buy it even if you have money! But of course, since you distinguished guests have come, I should treat you with the best quality products, so I specially went to the cellar to take out a jar, please taste it."
After boasting for a while, the middle-aged man was beaming with joy and made a gesture to remove the sealing mud from the wine jar and pour wine for everyone.
"Hold on!"
But at this moment, Chen Tian suddenly reached out and stopped the middle-aged man who was about to act, and stared at him with a very playful look.
Although Chen Tian's face was full of smiles, it made the middle-aged man's heart jump suddenly, as if he was doing something wrong, and he asked in surprise, "Young Master Yang, what... what's wrong?"
"Shopkeeper Bi, don't panic, I don't want to do anything to you, but I have some words, I don't know if I should say them or not?" Looking at the middle-aged man with a look of horror, the smile on Chen Tian's face became even thicker.
Under Chen Tian's gaze, the middle-aged man felt that everything about him was seen through by the man in front of him, and he couldn't help but panic even more, and said in horror, "Young Master Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it, I will definitely listen attentively."
"Okay, then I'll be blunt!"
After hearing this, Chen Tian laughed loudly, then he turned around, raised the teacup in front of him, and smiled lightly at the middle-aged man while shaking it, "Just now you said that this tea is the best Rain Before Spring Swallow, right?"
Hearing Chen Tian's question, the middle-aged man's heart suddenly tightened, but he still stubbornly said, "That's natural, Rain Before Spring Swallow is the best of tea, one tael of tea is equal to one tael of gold, extremely precious!"
"Oh, really?" Chen Tian smiled calmly after hearing this, then put the teacup under his nose and smelled it, shaking his head and saying, "But why do I feel that this tea is not Spring Swallow, but Summer Swallow?"
"You... you must be talking nonsense!" Hearing Chen Tian's words, the middle-aged man had already lost his composure, but subconsciously, he still retorted.
Chen Tian ignored him and continued to say to himself, "The reason why Spring Swallow is precious is because it only matures in spring, and the origin of Spring Swallow, Longyi Mountain, is more than 1,800 feet above sea level. It is still covered with snow in spring, only the Dragon Ridge Slope on the south side, due to its proximity to a volcano and being impacted by heat, can it mature in the snowy spring. This product of alternating cold and heat creates the unique aroma of Spring Swallow, which is sought after.
As for summer, when the snow on Longyi Mountain melts, the tea trees can mature on a large scale, but at that time, Spring Swallow has already lost this characteristic, and whether it is aroma or richness, it has dropped several grades compared to Rain Before Spring Swallow. In order to distinguish it, people call the Swallow Tea that matures in summer Summer Swallow!
Also, this pot of Summer Swallow Tea is not a new tea that has just been launched this year, but a stale tea that has been imitated for at least three years, and its quality has dropped several grades!"
Speaking of this, Chen Tian put down the teacup in his hand and smiled at the middle-aged man who was already covered in sweat, "I wonder if my words are correct or not?"
"This... this..."
The middle-aged man originally thought that Chen Tian and the others were young masters from wealthy families, who only knew how to enjoy themselves and did not understand the quality of tea, so he falsely claimed that Summer Swallow was Spring Swallow in order to increase the price.
You must know that one tael of Spring Swallow is equivalent to one tael of gold, while the price of Summer Swallow is far less than that. As long as ten copper coins, you can buy a catty!
...... ......
There's more to come, I'll write it quickly!
