Chapter 490 (1/2)

“I’m sorry, I don’t know you.” Yuan Zhou didn’t care about the pathetic actions of Division Chief Lin.

“Don’t say like that. My name is Lin Guoli and I work in the tax bureau not far from here. We can be considered working together. How about you sell a cup of the tea to me?” Division Chief Lin didn’t actually use his specific position to give Yuan Zhou pressure. Instead, he said frankly and straightforwardly.

Although the identity might not work well against Yuan Zhou, Division Chief Lin was truly not prepared to tell them.

“Xiaoyun, let’s drink.” Yuan Zhou indicated that he had heard that with a nod, but didn’t answer him anymore. Instead, he turned to look at Mu Xiaoyun and said.

“But it is way too bitter and is not pleasant at all. I prefer the watermelon juice to the tea.” Mu Xiaoyun said honestly.

“Dear me! Little girl, you are still too young to know the taste.” Division Chief Lin answered first before Yuan Zhou.

“Lu Tong, known as the Tea Immortal, said in his work Songs of Seven Bowls of Tea that, ‘After drinking up seven bowls of tea, I feel like moving with the calm serenity of a god.’ This taste can give the feeling of becoming an immortal.” Speaking of the tea, Division Chief Lin shook his head and appeared quite serious.

“But still, it’s bitter.” Mu Xiaoyun stuck out her tongue secretly and then said.

Hearing that, even Yuan Zhou felt it was a pity to give good tea to the little girl to drink.

What a joke! What kind of tea did she think it was? It was the tribute Pre-Ching Ming Tea, as precious as gold and moreover was harvested from the only 18 tea plants. Even the system could only provide 400 grams of the tea every year. It would be used up after making tea twice.

One had to know what kind of existence the system was. It could even provide extinct food ingredients.

Besides, the water used to make tea came from the bamboo forests of Tiantai Mountain. It was the superior water with which Su Shunchen defeated Cai Xiang, not to mention the priceless Eggshell-Thin Delicate Porcelain Cups used to drink tea.

“Ahem ahem. If you don’t like drinking it, you can give it to others.” Yuan Zhou said primly, yet without even looking at Division Chief Lin.

“Yes, exactly. Little girls don’t like drinking bitter things.” On hearing that, Division Chief Lin nodded his head immediately while looking at Mu Xiaoyun with an eager look.

“Huh? Can I?” Mu Xiaoyun looked at Yuan Zhou with puzzlement.

As far as she knew, Yuan Zhou didn’t like giving food that one couldn’t eat up to others.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded lightly, indicating that he didn’t mind.

Good tea could only demonstrate its own value when it was drunk by people who knew about it. Moreover, this couldn’t be considered his treat.

“See? Even Boss Yuan agrees. Little girl, let me drink your tea, ok? Please!” Then, Division Chief Lin got quite impatient. He was now behaving like a wolf that intended to abduct and traffic kids.

“Alright.” With a nod of her head, Mu Xiaoyun drank up the remaining tea in her teacup with a gulp.

“Hiss. It’s so bitter.” After gulping the tea down, Mu Xiaoyun felt it was even bitterer and thus couldn’t help sticking out her tongue.

Yuan Zhou said inwardly, “What a cute girl!”

As for Division Chief Lin, he just waited there for Mu Xiaoyun to give him her teacup without even blinking. Of course, he liked the full cup of the tea on the other side more, but he didn’t dare to take it. After all, Yuan Zhou was sitting steadily beside it.

Most importantly, he wanted to drink the tea again next time. Division Chief Lin was one that always took precautions beforehand.

As an obedient girl, Mu Xiaoyun took up a beautiful cup and filled half a cup with the tea meticulously and then prepared to hand it to Division Chief Lin.

“More, more, please. It’s not full yet, little girl.” Division Chief Lin said anxiously.

“It’s more or less good. If you can’t drink it up, you’ll waste it.” Mu Xiaoyun said seriously.

“No, no, no. I can absolutely drink it up. Even a full cup of the tea is no problem for me.” Division Chief Lin immediately vouched for his determination and said affirmatively.

“No.” Mu Xiaoyun straightened her face and refused. She was now behaving as earnestly as Yuan Zhou.
