Chapter 1346 Ignoring Uncle Leng’s Warning Gaze
Everyone heard that the fruit was good, and since they were a bit hungry, they all picked up the fruit and started eating.
Once they tasted the fruit, they realized it wasn’t just good, it was extraordinarily delicious—unlike anything they had ever eaten with a business purpose in mind.
But Mengyu completely ignored Lin Shasha and said to Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, make a cup of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao tea that the Nan Family Head sent a few days ago for my Second Aunt and this Miss Lin."
Xiao Tao replied, "Yes!" and went to fetch a small packet of tea leaves, roughly about one tael.
Lin Shasha was surprised, "Is it really Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao?"
She snatched the packet of tea leaves, examined it suspiciously for a while, and then handed it to Second Aunt Leng, Lin Xiang, "Second Aunt, take a look, is it really Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao? I heard cousin grew up in the countryside and hasn’t seen much of the world. Maybe she’s been fooled?"
Having seen Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao before and even tasted it, Lin Xiang inspected it for a moment and nodded, "This is indeed real Wuyi Mountain mother tree Da Hong Pao." She looked up at Mengyu, seemingly puzzled about how Mengyu could have such a treasure.
Da Hong Pao is the top-grade among oolong teas, considered a national treasure. Da Hong Pao is "fragrant and unique, with a mellow and refreshing taste," historically very rare, with an annual production of less than five hundred grams. In ancient times, only emperors and dignitaries could taste it; during the Republic of China and the early days of the country, soldiers were stationed to guard it.
Being able to drink such tea is indeed a matter of great prestige.
In fact, the Da Hong Pao that Mengyu took out was not the real Wuyi Mountain mother tree Da Hong Pao.
It was clipped from the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao by Mengyu and planted in the Taoyuan Space, where it thrived. Due to the abundant Spiritual Energy in the space, the flavor of this Da Hong Pao was even better than that of Wuyi Mountain’s.
She had once found one tael of real Wuyi Mountain mother tree Da Hong Pao in Nan Ming’s room, but its color and taste couldn’t compare to the Da Hong Pao she cultivated herself. She casually handed it to her father to take back to the Nan Family.
The Da Hong Pao she used herself was all from what was grown in the space.
Xiao Tao brought a pot of boiling water, placed the tea leaves into the cups, and steeped them in the hot water. As the tea brewed, a refreshing fragrance wafted out. Lin Shasha sniffed with her nose in delight and praised, "What a fragrance, truly worthy of Wuyi Mountain mother tree Da Hong Pao!"
Lin Shasha, seeing that just by saying a word, Nan Mengyu took out this famous historical tea for her to drink, immediately felt her own worth increased a hundredfold.
She huffed softly, "Having good tea and not bringing it out for guests earlier, but giving us leftover tea instead. If I hadn’t pointed it out, would you have been reluctant to bring it out?"
Glancing at the empty fruit plate, she added, "And why are there only a few pieces of fruit? One per person and they’re gone. Are you so stingy that you can’t spare a few more pieces of fruit?"
Mengyu didn’t even look at her, simply picked up her own teacup and didn’t forget to encourage her uncle and a few others, "Uncle, Aunt, cousin, please have some tea. It’s just right to drink at this temperature."
Uncle Leng smiled at Mengyu, "Alright, thank you."
He felt quite frustrated in his heart. Of course, this frustration was directed at his sister-in-law.
Lin Shasha had been so rude to Mengyu, yet why didn’t his second brother’s wife say anything to her? He wanted to speak up, but since she was from her sister-in-law’s family, it was awkward for him to say something, and his sister-in-law, who should have said something, didn’t plan on opening her mouth at all.
Unhappy, he had glared at his sister-in-law several times, yet she seemed to ignore his warning gaze completely.
