Chapter 888 - Great Carpenter (1/2)

“Didn’t you go back home for a meal? Why did you come here?” Yuan Zhou asked directly.

“Aha. You’ll know why in due course,” Ling Hong revealed a cunning smile and said.

“I see.” The instant Yuan Zhou saw Ling Hong’s smile, he didn’t want to ask him anymore and hence answered simply.

The Herbal Tea Eggs were usually served up quickly. As soon as he finished asking Ling Hong, Yuan Zhou scooped up a tea egg and put it in a small dish directly. And immediately, he added a spoonful of tea broth on the tea egg.

The tea broth was dark brown. It infiltrated into the tea egg through the cracks of the eggshell and then flowed out into the dish along with the smooth egg white.

The light bluish-green bottom of the dish was instantly covered with a layer of dark brown tea broth, which appeared clear and bright, emitting the tea fragrance.

“It really deserves the name of Keemun Black Tea. Both the taste and the appearance are different.” Ling Hong took a deep breath of the tea fragrance and couldn’t help praising.

Concerning the Herbal Tea Eggs prepared by Yuan Zhou, not only the taste was good, but also the appearance was quite pleasing to the eye. As the eggshell had to be broken, the dark brown tea broth would infiltrate through the crack into the tea eggs while they were boiled. As a result, the tea broth left beautiful brown paintings on the egg white.

“I’m here to check what the painting looks like today,” while saying that, Ling Hong began to peel off the eggshell.

“Ca Ca Ca”. Ling Hong poked an opening on the eggshell gently with chopsticks and then straightforwardly removed the entire eggshell with the egg membrane.

“Let me see what it is.” Ling Hong rolled the egg in the dish.

Along with the rolling of the egg, the dark brown streaks going up and down looked like a huge rolling wave. Yes, it was a painting of the ocean today.

“Huh, it looks like the ocean today.” Ling Hong rolled the egg repeatedly contentedly and appreciate it carefully.

It could be both appreciated and eaten, which was also the reason why Ling Hong liked it. Of course, that wasn’t the purpose of Ling Hong eating the Herbal Tea Eggs today. Actually, he ate it for the lingering tea fragrance and the unforgettable taste of Keemun Black Tea.

As for why, Ling Hong didn’t have the hobby of telling his reasons. He just ate up the Herbal Tea Egg slowly and then left the restaurant in quick steps.

Viewed from behind, he ran with ease, but nobody knew what was going on.

Except for Ling Hong who had behaved oddly, the business during the dinner was as smooth as before. So was the business during the pub time, naturally.

Thinking of the cabinet he was going to buy the following day, Yuan Zhou went to sleep peacefully and slept soundly all night long.

On the next morning, Yuan Zhou didn’t go to the market immediately after breakfast ended. Instead, he prepared to go and buy the cabinet after lunch. After all, he had more time in the afternoon and hence could get this thing done.

Therefore, he went upstairs to get things ready and left from the back alley as soon as lunchtime ended.

“Broth, I’m going out.” Yuan Zhou greeted Broth at the back door and then left.

He walked to the street corner and stopped a cab before reporting his destination to the driver.

“Mahogany Furniture City,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Okay. So you are going to buy furniture?” The driver tried to chat with him.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Young man, the furniture in that place is expensive and the quality isn’t good enough. Why are you going there to buy mahogany furniture?” The driver immediately started a conversation when he saw Yuan Zhou nod his head.

“Really?” Yuan Zhou looked at the driver and asked sincerely.

“I feel you look a little familiar,” the driver turned to look at Yuan Zhou and suddenly said with puzzlement even before he answered him.

“It’s not strange. Everybody says I look familiar. Sir, where can I buy quality furniture?” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said lightly.

“Yeah, yeah, you look familiar. I’m not lying to you. Not to mention the long distance, there are also many scams there.” The driver’s attention was diverted back to the subject by Yuan Zhou.
