C11 (1/2)
Dou Wang stared at the plant in Lin Chunnuan's hand for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Lin Chunnuan's face. He did not say anything for a long time, but Lin Chunnuan thought that Lin Chunnuan did not hear him clearly, so she said it again.
”Wangzhige, here are the tea leaves.”
He was curious as to why Lin Chunnuan solemnly introduced it to him, saying that it was not an ordinary plant.
”Wangzhige, this plant is called Tea, it's a type of plant that can be used to soak in water. Furthermore, it's quite valuable, even rich people would like to drink this now.”
Lin Chunnuan didn't know whether or not anyone drank tea in this space and time that she had traversed through, but to her knowledge, tea was already a very common beverage that had existed since a very early age. Especially in the ancient times, tea was a must in daily life.
Now that Dou Wang didn't even know what the tea leaves were, Lin Chunnuan was a little unsure, but she quickly realised that there were definitely tea leaves here. It was just that the little mountain village she lived in was too rundown and poor, to the point that there wasn't any need to pay attention to such things in her life.
”You said that everyone with money drinks it? This kind of plant?”
Dou Wang was able to pull out a leaf,
”I used it to soak water at home. It tasted bad.”
Lin Chunnuan was laughing out loud. This young lad was too cute, but to have this kind of practical spirit, it seemed like she did not find the wrong person to help him.
”Wangzhige, you can't drink this directly.”
Lin Chunnuan also grabbed a piece of the young sprout of the tea leaves.
”Wangzhige, this one needs to be stir-fried. It cannot be directly drunk. After being stir-fried, the tea leaves will have a slightly astringent and fragrant taste, and will take a long time to finish.”
Hearing that Lin Chunnuan explained it so clearly, Dou Wang could not help but believe that Lin Chunnuan really understood this thing. It was just that, why had he not heard of it before?
”Warm Spring, no one seems to be drinking this stuff in our village. How do you know about it?”
Lin Chunnuan was secretly shocked, she was too proud of herself and did not give herself any leeway.
”Let's do this …”
Lowering his head, Lin Chunnuan quickly calculated in his heart what to say in order to make others believe him even more.
”It's hard to say, but I don't have to ask. It's just a little strange.”
In the end, Lin Chunnuan did not think of a suitable reason, Dou Wang had already let her go, but what he said next made Lin Chunnuan feel uncomfortable.
”Everyone has their own secrets, and we're not very close. You don't have to explain it to me.”
Lin Chunnuan quickly shook her hands, causing the leaves of the tea leaves to flutter about.
”Wangzhige, it's not that I don't want to explain it to you, but it's just that it's really hard to explain. Don't be angry with me, okay?”
”It's fine. It's spring. I'm not angry.”
Seeing the little girl anxious, Dou Wang reached out his hand, wanting to stroke the little girl's hair as a form of comfort. However, when he was halfway through, he pulled his hand back.
”Warm Spring, I hope you can tell me if you have the chance in the future.”
When you trust me enough, I hope to hear you tell me the reason yourself. I hope there will be a day when I won't be in a hurry.
”En, when I have the chance in the future, I will definitely tell you. Wangzhige.”
Lin Chunnuan didn't want to lie to the young man in front of him, but even if she told the truth, he wouldn't believe it right? And if he believed it, she might as well treat herself as a monster.
However, Lin Chunnuan made a decision in her heart. She wanted to be friends with this young man in front of her, and moreover, she wanted to be very good friends with him. She hoped that she didn't see the wrong person, and when the day came that he trusted her enough, she might be able to tell him this secret.
”What's next, what are you going to do with the tea leaves?”
That was why he knew that she definitely wanted to use these tea leaves. He did not think too much about it, but just wanted to see if there was anything that he could help with.
”Wangzhige, have you ever left the village?”
Lin Chunnuan carefully asked Dou Wang about it. Although she was confident that there would be tea in this time and space, she still had it before it was confirmed.
Dou Wang was still very proud of his trip to town.
Otherwise, no one would dare to let him walk so far. It must be known that not only was the journey going on for a long time, but because the road was through a forest, the forest was also very dense, so it was quite dangerous to walk through it.
