Chapter 153: Fourteenth Uncle Guo Songyang People in rural areas get up very early. At dawn, a loud rooster crows wakes Wen Xu from his bed.
"In rural areas, chickens crow at people, while in cities people crow at chickens. What you say is true!" Wen Xu stretched himself out, put on his clothes and got out of bed.
Breathing the fresh breath, Wen Xu suddenly felt indescribably comfortable. He stood there and punched twice. Seeing that Guo Xingyun didn't get up, he said something to the two elders, went out and ran along the country path.
With.
From time to time, villagers passing by passed by on the path. Some would just look at Wen Xu with unfamiliar eyes, while others would stop and ask which family Wen Xu came from and why they hadn't seen him before.
When Wen Xu saw the other party asking, he would smile and explain, saying that he was a guest of Guo Xingyun's family. The person would say "oh" and then say some polite words before continuing on his way.
The trail is surrounded by green rice fields. It is early spring now, the temperature is getting warmer, the rain is abundant, and the rice seedlings are growing extremely luxuriantly. From a distance, it looks like a green carpet sloping on the ground, which looks very comfortable.
When Wen Xu walked to a house on the mountainside, he couldn't help but stop. He saw a middle-aged man with shaggy hair making tea in the yard.
His method of making tea was very delicate. He was holding a mud-colored kettle and pouring water into several small cups. The water cups were very shallow, and the water he poured in was very hot. The cups were quickly filled with white smoke. However,
, What surprised Wen Xu was that the tea was just flush with the mouth of the cup, and not a drop of water came out. Only a small cluster of tea leaves was seen floating on it.
Wen Xu couldn't help but take a closer look, and saw the other party gently put down the teapot, then gently picked up the cup filled with tea, and drank slowly. The water was flush with the mouth of the teacup, but no water was seen coming out of the cup.
Falling inside is truly a masterpiece.
Wen Xu couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Uncle, great craftsmanship!"
The middle-aged man heard the sound and looked towards Wen Xu. Seeing that Wen Xu's face was unfamiliar, he couldn't help asking: "Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I am a classmate of Uncle Guo's second child at the foot of the mountain. I have been here to play for a few days. I just saw my uncle's excellent tea art, so I couldn't help but clap my hands and admire him." Wen Xu said to the uncle with a smile.
"It turns out that I am a guest of Erwa's family. My name is Guo Songyang. According to seniority, I should be Guo Erwa's 14th cousin. Just call me 14th uncle!" Guo Songyang shook his head and said to Wen Xu.
"Iron Sword Guo Songyang?" Wen Xu twisted his eyebrows, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said funny in his heart: "Isn't this uncle's father a fan of ancient dragons, so he changed his name like this?"
Seeing Wen Xu standing there alone, Guo Songyang couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Wen Xu would not say that his name was very domineering, so he smiled and said to Guo Songyang: "Uncle Fourteen, do you sit alone in the yard making tea every morning?"
Guo Songyang raised his head and glanced at Wen Xu, shook his head and denied, "I'm not making tea, I'm doing an experiment."
"Experiment?" Wen Xu didn't understand. He looked at the tea in the cup and asked, "What kind of experiment?"
Guo Songyang looked at Wen Xu and explained: "Pu'er, which is abundant in Yunnan, has been a tribute to the imperial palace a long time ago. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pu'er has always been the leader in the high-end tea market, but after two price increases and decreases, Pu'er has become an ordinary
Consumer products that consumers can consume. This experiment of mine is to develop a Pu'er tea carbonated drink similar to Master Kong's iced black tea, and bring our Pu'er brand into the fast food market."
Hearing Guo Songyang's words, Wen Xu couldn't help but look at the unkempt fourteenth uncle in front of him with admiration. But how many years would it take for him to succeed in this experiment?
Guo Songyang sighed softly and said helplessly: "I have no money and no power. I went to the village director several times to get them to support my investment, but I was rejected all the time. I can only buy Pu'er by myself."
I’m going to work alone. Fortunately, after years of hard work, I have finally solved several key problems. Now I have to overcome the problem of long-term preservation.”
Although Wen Xu didn't understand these techniques, seeing that Guo Songyang spoke so eloquently, he couldn't help but be tempted by his idea. If all the conditions were right, Wen Xu wouldn't mind investing money for him to continue the experiment. Anyway, with his one hundred
Thousands of dollars are just idle money.
Seeing Wen Xu's stunned look, Guo Songyang thought Wen Xu couldn't understand what he said, so he couldn't help but sigh softly and called to Wen Xu: "Forget it, I've told you so much, but you don't understand. Come on, fourteen
Uncle invites you to drink tea."
Guo Songyang took out a chair and some pancakes from the room, handed them to Wen Xu and said, "It would be best to drink some Pu'er tea and eat some pancakes in the morning."
Wen Xu casually picked up a cup and tasted it carefully. To be honest, Wen Xu didn't know how to taste tea at all. To Wen Xu, drinking tea was just like eating peonies, and he didn't understand the style. But when he entered the mouth of this cup of Pu'er tea
, Wen Xu clearly felt a faint fragrance reverberating in his mouth, and swallowing it with a burst of hot air in his throat, he felt his whole body relaxed and his muscles and bones relaxed.
"How is it?" Guo Songyang saw Wen Xu's expression and already knew how effective his tea was, and asked Wen Xu with a slight smile.
"Uncle Fourteen, your tea is really delicious. People like me who don't understand tea can taste it." Wen Xu said with a smile. There was no compliment in it, it was all based on drinking it.
It feels like telling the truth.
Guo Songyang explained with a smile: "My tea is dedicated to the development of fast food drinks. If you can't taste it in your mouth, is it still called fast food?"
Wen Xu tasted tea in Guo Songyang and did not leave until Guo Xingyun called. Back at Guo Xingyun's house, Guo Xingyun had just gotten up from bed and was preparing to have breakfast.
"Old Wen, why didn't you tell me when you got up?" Guo Xingyun said to Wen Xu.
Wen Xu smiled and said: "I saw that you slept like a dead pig, so I didn't wake you up. By the way, I've already had breakfast, you can eat it yourself!"
"Have you eaten? How come I heard my mother say that you went out without breakfast." Guo Xingyun asked doubtfully.
"I met your fourteenth uncle when I was going out, so I had breakfast at his place." Wen Xu told Guo Xingyun what happened between him and Guo Songyang.
"So that's it. To be honest, the Pu'er brewed by Uncle Fourteen is really good. I drank it once during the Chinese New Year." Guo Xingyun took two chopsticks of porridge and continued to say to Wen Xu, "After dinner, I will take you
Go play by the river, and call that girl Ling'er by the way. I know you haven't seen her for a day, so you must miss her very much."
Wen Xu shrugged and said to Guo Xingyun, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the house."
Wen Xu returned to the house, opened his backpack, and took out the rough stone that had not yet been mined. Although this rough stone looked really ordinary, Wen Xu felt a strange feeling every time he saw it.
.Wen Xu couldn't put his finger on this feeling. As long as he saw it, he would be attracted to it, and everything else would lose its color and become ordinary.
"Who are you? Should I cut you open?" Wen Xu said to himself in front of the stone.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the stone in Wen Xu's hand suddenly jumped up and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"Is it just my illusion? It didn't move at all, it was my hand that moved?" Wen Xu looked at the stone that fell on the ground and murmured.
In the past, Wen Xu would not have doubted that the stone would move in his hands, but since he picked up a magical stone that night, Wen Xu gradually believed that nothing was impossible in this world.
Wen Xu saw that the stone had fallen on the stone and had not moved. He stretched out his hand to pick it up from the ground. However, when his fingers just touched the stone, the stone broke into pieces, and the whole stone seemed to be weathered in an instant.
, all turned into a pile of yellow powder.
"Isn't it possible? Is my eight hundred yuan just wasted like this?" Wen Xu looked at the powder all over the floor and felt heartbroken. Although the money spent was not much, it was gone all of a sudden, and Wen Xu still felt uncomfortable.
willingly.
"Old Wen, are you ready? If you are, let's go!" Guo Xingyun's voice came from downstairs. It seemed that he had already finished breakfast.
"Wait a moment, I'll be here right away." Wen Xu looked at the powder on the ground and shouted to Guo Xingyun.
Although the stone was gone, there was still a pile of powder on the ground. If it was not swept away quickly, it would be scattered everywhere when the wind blew it. Therefore, Wen Xu hurriedly found a broom and a dustpan and swept the powder on the ground.
After all the powder was swept away, I went downstairs.
"Why are you so wordy? Do you think girls are dressing up and painting their eyebrows and lips?" Seeing Wen Xu coming down so slowly, Guo Xingyun couldn't help but joked with a smile.
Wen Xu rolled his eyes, ignored Guo Xingyun's Tao Kan, and asked, "Where are you going to take me?"
"I'm going to take you to see what it means to see the bottom of the mountain with crystal clear water and carp jumping over the dragon's gate." Guo Xingyun smiled mysteriously, then took Wen Xu out of the back door, and then walked along the narrow mountain road to the top.
"By the way, aren't you going to call Ling'er? Have you called her?" Wen Xu asked Guo Xingyun while following Guo Xingyun, but he had forgotten about the stone.
"It's been a long time ago! Ling'er asked me to take you there first, and she will go up by herself later." Guo Xingyun said to Wen Xu while climbing.
The place Guo Xingyun wanted to take Wen Xu to was on the top of a mountain. Even though the mountains here were very steep and continuous, the tops of some mountains were flat, just like a plain.
"Here we are! Our destination today is here." Guo Xingyun said loudly to Wen Xu.
After Wen Xu climbed the last section of the road, he saw a wide lake in front of him. The water in the lake was crystal clear, and fish came out of the water from time to time. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Wen Xu to believe that there was such a place on the top of the mountain.
