Li Yuanlang did not miss the appointment, came down from the third floor and went directly to Zheng Haiyang's place.

Compared to Wang Zumin's busy figure, Zheng Haiyang is much more leisurely.

The United Front Work Department itself is a fictitious department, contacting all democratic parties to understand the party's various principles and policies, contacting compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao and overseas Chinese to provide advice and suggestions to the ruling party, and doing a good job in providing preferential treatment to Taiwan compatriots and Taiwanese dependents, etc.

It seems like there are a lot of things, but in fact there is nothing serious. But not having them is not enough. It does not reflect the party's democratic nature and its willingness to accept suggestions.

When Li Yuanlang knocked on the door and came in, Zheng Haiyang had already set up a Kung Fu tea set and was waiting. He also had a "Tea Book" in his hand and was studying it carefully. He was fascinated by it.

"Xiao Li, you're here, sit down." Zheng Haiyang did not put down the tea book, but pointed to the chair opposite him.

Li Yuanlang sat down politely and saw four tea buckets placed in front of him, including Jasmine tea, Wuyishan Dahongpao, Biluochun and Pu'er.

He couldn't help laughing, but Zheng Haiyang was stunned and asked him: "Why are you laughing?"

"Uncle Zheng, are you testing me?" Li Yuanlang asked with a smile.

"Okay, tell me, how did I test you?" Zheng Haiyang put the "Tea Classic" on the table and listened to what Li Yuanlang said with great interest.

"Drinking tea varies throughout the year, and the tea you drink in each season is also particular." Li Yuanlang first picked up the can of jasmine tea and introduced: "Jasmine tea is dry and cool, and has an aromatic and pungent air, which is good for eliminating people.

The winter cold evil in the body promotes the growth of yang energy, making people feel refreshed and has the effect of eliminating spring sleepiness. Therefore, jasmine tea is most suitable for drinking in spring."

"Okay, that's right, it makes sense, let's continue." Zheng Haiyang couldn't help but nodded in praise.

Putting down the jasmine tea can, Li Yuanlang picked up Biluochun and said: "Green tea is refreshing and refreshing, suitable for drinking in summer. Biluochun belongs to the green tea category. I see silvery white and green tea, with long and slender ropes, curled into snails, and white pekoe. It must be top grade, naturally.

It’s the best choice in summer.”

Immediately afterwards, he put the jar of Wuyishan Dahongpao in his hand and said in detail: "Autumn is suitable for drinking green tea. It is neither cold nor warm. It can not only remove residual heat from the body but also produce fluid and nourish yin. Wuyishan Dahongpao must be the first choice.

"

Finally, Li Yuanlang raised the jar of Pu'er tea again, put it under his nose, smelled it, nodded and said: "Good tea, this jar of Pu'er tea is cooked Pu'er, it can warm the stomach, dispel cold, eliminate food accumulation, and drink it in winter to nourish yang."

Qi, not bad, not bad.”

Zheng Haiyang nodded frequently. He only knew the special qualities of these four kinds of tea after reading the Tea Book, so he deliberately took them out to test Li Yuanlang. He thought that Li Yuanlang was a layman and did not understand the secrets here, so he would definitely make random choices when the time came.

He was here to teach Li Yuanlang about the functions and uses of the four kinds of tea, and to serve as a tea instructor to satisfy his vanity.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanlang actually spoke eloquently and even knew more than he knew. Could it be that this guy had read "The Book of Tea" before? It was impossible. As far as he knew, Wang Zumin's office didn't have this thing. Where did this guy come from?

What did you learn?

In fact, this matter is simple. Li Yuanlang was demoted to the Veteran Cadre Bureau as the last deputy director. He had nothing to do all day long except surfing the Internet.

He doesn't like to watch movies or TV shows, nor does he play online games, let alone chat. He only reads the news when surfing the Internet. That day, he suddenly found a website about tea. After entering, he was fascinated by it. For several days, he just learned the introduction and made Kung Fu tea.

drink.

Of course, he has also done research on tea, and knows what tea is best to drink in which seasons. This is how he makes tea for himself, and he has been doing it for several years now.

There is a saying that when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups of wine is too little, and half a sentence is too much to talk about it. Zheng Haiyang has not studied wine, but he has a soft spot for tea. Li Yuanlang happens to understand tea, and the two people who had rarely interacted with each other suddenly

With a common language between them, tea has become a bridge between them.

"Since you mentioned Pu'er, Xiao Li, let me test you again. What do you think is the difference between raw Pu'er and cooked Pu'er?"

Li Yuanlang smiled and said: "Sheng Pu'er is a compressed tea made from fresh leaves of large-leaf tea trees through various processes. It has a dark green appearance, a mellow and long-lasting aroma, a rich and sweet taste, a green-yellow clear soup, and leaves

The bottom is thick and yellow-green; ripe Pu'er is made from large-leaf seeds and is dried as green tea

As raw material, a specific process is used to form loose tea or pressed tea through fermentation and processing. The appearance of ripe Pu'er is reddish brown, the inner soup is red and bright, the aroma is unique and fragrant, the taste is mellow and sweet, and the bottom of the leaves is reddish brown. Uncle Zheng,

Your jar of cooked Pu'er must be of top quality, right?"

"Hey, Xiao Li, what you said is so good. Why should I test you? Why don't you become my teacher? Haha!" Zheng Haiyang laughed at himself. It's rare to meet such an intimate tea friend.

My mood suddenly became broad and cheerful.

Li Yuanlang understands tea so well, so naturally he is also first-class in making Kung Fu tea. He is not as good as a professional, but he is still very qualified as an ordinary tea drinker.

The two men stood in front of the Kung Fu tea set, sipping the sweet and mellow taste of the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, chatting about the past and the present.

The two of them chatted over fragrant tea and became more and more congenial. They talked for more than three hours without realizing it. The sky was getting dark but they couldn't feel it.

It was Secretary Zheng Haiyang who knocked on the door and came in to remind him that Zheng Haiyang had foreign affairs activities in the evening and was worried about the negative impact of being late.

Zheng Haiyang said to Li Yuanlang with unfinished thoughts: "Xiao Li, Uncle Zheng is such an old man, let me guess your intention of coming to see Minister Zumin today."

"Uncle Zheng, please give me some advice." Li Yuanlang said modestly.

"I'm not talking about advice, I'm just telling you my opinion. If you want to transfer out of that poor place in Shuiming Township, it's a wrong or risky move." Zheng Haiyang didn't wait for Li Yuanlang's answer and continued: "You just need to be here

After working in Shuiming Township for the first half of the year, I bet you will rise to the top and be promoted even higher. The premise is that you must achieve results in Shuiming Township."

"Uncle Zheng, what do you mean..."

"As far as I know, Secretary Shui is very thirsty for talents. It is easy to get a thousand armies but it is difficult to find a general. It is rare for him to appreciate a person. You are a person who has gained the eyes of Secretary Shui. He will not treat you just because you have made a mistake.

You have been thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. Besides, your mistake has nothing to do with your lifestyle. You and Shui Tingyue are just boyfriend and girlfriend. As long as you are not married, even if you don't cheat, you are still with your ex-wife. So in this regard

Above, Secretary Shui is a bit harsh on you like this. I guess he wants to give you a try to see if you can withstand the pressure and whether you can handle a big job in the future. If you are willing to give up, you will never recover.

, your official career will stay in Shuiming Township, unless someone else appreciates you and promotes you. However, if you can settle down and do something big, the results will be different, and the future will be broad and unstoppable."

Zheng Haiyang's words were exactly the same as those of Wang Zumin, and they were surprisingly similar.

Li Yuanlang really feels that if a person stays in one position for a long time, his vision will definitely be different.

As a department-level cadre, he did not expect that Shui Qingzhang would use this matter to test him. However, Wang and Zheng, who were leaders of the county committee, saw clearly.

Li Yuanlang estimated that Jin Sheng might be able to understand something from it, but he didn't tell himself. Maybe he was not sure or dared to make blind guesses. This is the shackles of experience. Only by experiencing more can you become more knowledgeable. This is true.

, very reasonable.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Haiyang, Li Yuanlang saw that it was already past 5:30 in the evening. When he left, he was not empty-handed. He shyly asked Zheng Haiyang for a jar of Wuyishan Dahongpao. Anyway, Zheng Haiyang had a tea cabinet.

The jars were filled with all kinds of tea leaves, and they were very rich.

The most important thing is that by asking for this pot of tea, he became closer to Zheng Haiyang. He didn't treat Zheng Haiyang as an outsider, so he had the nerve to ask for something. Zheng Haiyang was optimistic about the success, and he repeatedly pointed at Li Yuanlang and joked when they broke up.

: "I have to put a lock on the tea cabinet tomorrow. I'm worried that if you come here again, you will take away all my treasures."

It was getting late, so Li Yuanlang called Han Yin first and asked her if she needed anything at home.

Han Yin was busy on the phone for a while, and she could hear the kitchen range hood ringing. She was preparing dinner. She also said that she had everything at home, so Li Yuanlang just came over with a mouth.

Li Yuanlang was not empty-handed. When he passed by the flower shop, he bought a bouquet of lilies and jasmine. These two flowers were Han Yin's favorite. When she was free, she often smelled the flowers and closed her eyes to enjoy them. But she looked like this

The most beautiful and artistic one, Li Yuanlang even took a photo of it, enlarged it and hung it above the bedside in his bedroom.

In the past, whenever he and Han Yin were having fun, Li Yuanlang would look at this photo to feel the moment of release, and the fragrance would linger here.

Knocking on the door. Han Yin was wearing an apron and holding a vegetable shovel in her hand. Li Yuanlang didn't enter the room. She held the bouquet of flowers on her forehead, giving Han Yin a surprise that the flowers arrived before anyone else.

"Thank you, you still remember that I like these." Han Yin was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears, and the torrent of emotion almost burst out of her eyes.

However, she tried her best to restrain herself, welcomed Li Yuanlang in, and asked him to sit on the sofa and wait. There was still one last dish left, and the meal would be served soon.

Han Yin was really leaving. Many of the furniture in the house were covered with white cloth. Li Yuanlang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He didn't feel that before, but now people are really reluctant to leave.

He estimated that as long as he asked to stay, Han Yin would fall back into his arms without hesitation. But he didn't want to do this, and he couldn't do it.

What should I do with Shui Tingyue? Should I give up on her? Li Yuanlang couldn't do it, and his heart would hurt even more.

Choose the greater of two benefits and the lesser of two evils. Li Yuanlang considered that Han Yin was young and beautiful and had a long way to go. She would be very happy if she found a man who loved her and married her. And they had been experimenting for five years.

, it’s not appropriate at all. We won’t walk the same path again, and that would be of no benefit to anyone.

Li Yuanlang felt melancholy in his heart. He took out the cigarette in his pocket and was about to use the cigarette to suppress the turbulence in his heart. However, unexpectedly, a piece of paper fell out of his pocket and fluttered to the ground, just as the food was being brought out from the kitchen.

Han Yin saw it.
