Chapter 283: Tea

Translator: Lonelytree

“What, the reporters are all at home for an interview? “Xiao Lingye received a phone call from home and frowned. “Then, Sis, should I rush home?”

Xiao Lingye had already gotten his driver’s license, but he had been helping out in the county town and did not go home much.

His plan was to leave the city to see the world. After all, he had two to three months of vacation.

However, the business in his sister’s shop was really good, so Xiao Lingye decided to help out in the shop.

Occasionally, he would go out with a few of his good friends. However, Xiao Lingye was always in control. He would never go overboard.

The school informed him immediately when they got the news that he was the top-scorer. Then, he informed his family at the first opportunity.

After the excitement, he regained his usual composure. He felt that the university entrance examination was only the first stage of a turning point in his life. No matter how well he did, everything would start from zero after he entered university. He had to plan for his future. He couldn’t rest on his laurels. He needed to work hard!

Xiao Lingye’s calm mentality was the result of his family’s teachings. He had a sister who was always calm and decisive. He had learned a little from her.

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, “Yes, you should come back.”

It was the same every year. The media would report on the top-scorer annually. If her younger brother refused the interviews, who knew what kind of evaluation the reporters would give him. He could be described as arrogant and condescending.

“Alright, I’ll go back now.” Xiao Lingye was an opinionated person, but he would heed his sister’s advice.

Xiao Lingyu promised that after Xiao Lingye got his license, she would get him a new car. However, since he just got his license, he had been using her car to practice on. After all, Xiao Lingyu was pregnant and couldn’t drive anyway.

So, Xiao Lingye had inherited his sister’s car after he got his license.

…

When the villagers heard about the reporters’ arrival, they immediately hurried to Xiao Zhengyang’s house.

Mother Xiao welcomed all the reporters into the courtyard and made a pot of tea for them. Then she took out some fruits and served them too.

“Wow, this tea is so delicious!”

Some of the reporters rushed here from City Z. After traveling for a whole morning, they felt a little thirsty and tired.

After sitting down, they were greeted by the fragrance of tea. Out of curiosity, they picked up their cups and took a sip. It was amazing. The taste of this tea was extraordinary.

“Auntie, your tea smells so good. What kind of tea is it?” A reporter asked curiously.

Mother Xiao had been interviewed before when Xiao Lingyu was the top-scorer, so she wasn’t that nervous.

She smiled and said, “It’s just an ordinary Da Hong Pao. It’s the kind of tea leaves that costs 100 yuan per catty.” They purchased better tea leaves after their family condition was better.

“Just ordinary Da Hong Pao?” The reporters found it hard to believe.

“Auntie, I’ve tasted normal Da Hong Pao before. It’s not as fragrant as this,” Someone immediately said suspiciously.

Mother Xiao smiled and explained, “That’s not the tea leaves but the water. The water here is sweat and clear, so even the tea made from normal tea leaves can be very fragrant.”

Someone’s eyes lit up and immediately asked curiously, “Auntie, is this true? Then, can we try your water?”

Mother Xiao nodded. “Of course, you can. One minute, I’ll fill a pot for you.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” What is going on? Aren’t they here for an interview? How did it become a tea tasting ceremony?

Mother Xiao filled a pot of water and asked with a smile, “Come. Who would like to try some water?”

“Auntie, come, pour me a cup! I want to see how your water is different from other water sources.”

“Auntie, give me a cup too!”

The reporters who were sent to interview the best scholar were quite polite.

“Wow, this water is really delicious!” Someone took a sip and said, “It’s sweet and refreshing.”

“Is this just ordinary water? How can it be so delicious? No wonder the tea made from it is so fragrant. It made the 100 RMB tea taste like 100000 RMB tea!”

“Haha. It looks like I’ll have to pack some water with me when I go back.” Someone said half-jokingly.

“Haha. I have the same idea.”

“Hmm. These strawberries are so delicious. This taste… this taste is like those strawberries sold in Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.”

The reporters tried the fruits served.

“I’ve eaten the strawberries in that store. They taste alike.”

“Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables?” Someone immediately reacted, “Aren’t we in Taoyuan Village?” They looked at Mother Xiao curiously.

Mother Xiao smiled and said, “My family does own that shop. If you like these strawberries, feel free to bring some back with you.”

“Thank you, Auntie.” Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up. No one was willing to refuse.

The reporters from both Xing Yin County and City Z had heard of this vegetables and fruits shop before. There was even a rumor that the strawberries sold at the National Union Supermarket came from Taoyuan Village.

These people were reporters, so they had a keen sense of smell. They were immediately sure that the strawberries at National Union Supermarket and the strawberries at Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables came from the same place.

The five reporters ate and drank happily in the Xiao family’s courtyard. The food and drink of this family were too delicious. Even their plain water was so exceptional.

Among the reporters were a few who normally had a small appetite. However, when they arrived at the house of the top-scorer, they became big eaters! No matter how much they ate, they didn’t feel hungry. The fruits and snacks went down their stomach.

“Auntie, why are all the things in your house so delicious?” A reporter gasped, “The things that look so ordinary become incomparably delicious here.”

Mother Xiao smiled and said, “If you like it, you should eat more. I’ll pack some for you to take back too.” A few days ago, Mother Xiao already knew the reporters were coming, so she was prepared.

The reporters were embarrassed. “How can we do that? We already ate so much here.”

Mother Xiao said, “Why should you be embarrassed? We grew these strawberries ourselves. All the vegetables and fruits served are homegrown too. I’m just glad that you like them.

“Then, thank you so much, Auntie!” The reporters were very appreciative.. They came to the right place this time.
