Chapter 280 Mr. Yogurt, Don’t Be Too Frugal
in the afternoon.
After lunch, Li Mu went downstairs with Li Qinran, holding yogurt.
A BMW sedan stopped at the entrance of the community, and Brother Nan was leaning on the passenger door waiting for them.
"Did you eat too much at noon?" Brother Nan asked.
"No."
"That's good, I brought you something good." Brother Nan smiled, opened the passenger door and took out a wooden box.
"What good stuff?"
"Didn't I tell you before you went back to the provincial capital that you should make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for me, and I also made food for you, and today is the perfect time to eat it."
"Oh." Li Mu glanced at the wooden box in Brother Nan's hand.
The box is carved with delicate patterns, and the surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sunlight and revealing a delicate purple-red luster.
“Is this sandalwood?”
"Oh, how did you know?"
"One ounce of red sandalwood is worth one ounce of gold. This wood is quite valuable."
“It’s just an incubator.”
Brother Nan put the wooden box on the hood of the car and opened the lid. "Try it now. I made it myself. Bao Ran can testify to this."
"Hurry up, testify!" Brother Nan turned around and urged Li Qinran.
"Yeah." My sister nodded.
Li Mu looked at the box, which contained something that looked like some kind of cold dish or pickled vegetable.
It looks a bit like young ginger, cut into lumps. There is actually no need to put it in an insulation box. Brother Nan probably couldn't find any other container, so he took this rosewood box.
“Is this ginger?”
"Try it!"
"it is good."
Li Mu reached out, pinched a small piece and put it in his mouth.
It was refreshing, tender and crispy, well-marinated but not too salty. Li Mu raised his eyebrows: "It's delicious. Did you really make it yourself?"
"Hey, I asked my mom to direct the whole process. Let me tell you, it's very troublesome to make. It took a lot of effort just to buy the seasonings and make the chili oil."
Brother Nan was very proud, "This is not good to eat like this, it tastes better with rice."
"Oh, is this thing called Jerusalem artichoke?"
"Oh, you actually guessed it?"
"Where did it come from?"
“I bought it.”
"bought?"
Li Mu looked at Brother Nan who seemed a little guilty, then turned to look at Li Qinran. Li Qinran also lowered his head and did not look at him.
Now he knew what was going on.
"I remember there was a field of Jerusalem artichokes in the provincial government's garden. I wonder if it's still there now." Li Mu said as he closed the lid and prepared to take it home as a side dish.
"Cough cough!"
Brother Nan coughed dryly and ignored his topic, "Remember to return the thermos box to me after you finish eating. This is not a gift for you!"
"You."
Li Mu wanted to keep a straight face, but couldn't help laughing.
His mind quickly imagined a scene of Brother Nan carrying a shovel and digging in the garden of the provincial government on a dark and windy night.
Or maybe it was not at night, but one afternoon, Sister Nan walked into the provincial government with a shovel and started digging Jerusalem artichokes. When she met people watching, she put her hands on her hips and shouted at them fiercely, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen people digging wild vegetables before?" and drove away all the onlookers.
Funny to think about it.
When Sister Nan saw Li Mu smile, she also giggled.
Only Li Qinran stood aside, not even looking at them, concentrating on taking off her hairpin and pinning it on Suanyou's forehead.
The three of them finally drove to the scenic spots on the West Fourth Ring Road.
There were a lot of tourists during the National Day holiday, and it wasn’t their first time here. They just took a quick look around and then left, just trying to kill time.
"I'm so thirsty. I'll go buy some water. What do you want to drink?" Brother Nan stood at the entrance of the scenic area, looking around.
"Whatever." Li Qinran said.
Li Mu pointed to a shop with antique decoration at the intersection and said, "There is a teahouse over there. It looks well decorated. Why don't we go in and have some tea? You can also sit down and take a rest."
"North Garden Tea Tree."
A cat's head popped out of the bag, looking at the sign and reading it out loud for him.
Li Mu looked down at her.
"brush!"
The cat instantly retracted its head. "It's Beiyuan Teahouse."
"Well?"
The cat huddled in the bag, tilting its head and looking at Li Mu through the gap in the bag with one eye, "Isn't that word pronounced mu miaow?"
"Yeah, Nianlou."
"Youmu! Read half of the words you don't know!"
“Not all words can be pronounced halfway.”
The man and the cat walked to the door of the teahouse while talking in low voices.
"You can taste six kinds of tea."
The cat poked its head out again and read the small words on the teahouse sign for him.
As soon as Li Mu lowered his head, she shrank back again.
"."
Li Mu shook his head and continued to look up.
Nowadays, doing business needs to face fierce competition. Everyone puts a lot of thought into their signboards, trying to attract more customers. This teahouse has a lot of things written on its signboard.
“The tea is of the highest quality and tastes authentic!”
The cat's voice is small but sonorous.
Li Mu looked down, but saw that she was curled up in the bag and didn't stick her head out.
Cats are smart and have sharp eyesight.
It seemed that he had just seen and memorized everything on the sign. When he noticed Li Mu looking up, he read it out loud.
"Snapped"
Li Mu patted the kitten gently through his bag and walked into the teahouse.
There are quite a lot of people in the store.
Brother Nan and his sister have already chosen their seats, which are by the window. Brother Nan likes to sit by the window.
The cat came out of the bag, lay down beside Li Mu, and sniffed his nose, "Ni Mu, why does Master Yogurt smell familiar?"
"It's the aroma of brewing tea, which Master Yogurt drank in the courtyard."
"Ugh! Poisonous water!"
"It's not poisonous, that's what tea tastes like."
"It's so bitter."
The cat whispered, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Do we have to pay for drinking water in the store?"
"need."
"!"
The cat's expression froze, and he jumped off the chair and walked out.
"Where is Master Yogurt going?"
"You and Brother Blue drink it, Master Yogurt can drink outside."
Maoer stopped and looked back at Li Mu, "There is a stream where we played just now. The water there is free."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, then stood up and walked to the kitten and took her back, "Master Yogurt, there is no need to be so frugal, we have enough money to spend."
"Every bit you can save is a bit you can save."
"Mr. Yogurt is frugal for cats, which is a good quality, but don't be too frugal."
Li Mu stroked the kitten gently and said, "While you are young, eat when you should and play when you should, and don't waste your youth by being too frugal. The future Yogurt Master will thank you for this."
"Future Yogurt Master?"
“You, many years later.”
"Well"
The cat seemed to understand, but still felt sorry for the money.
"Sometimes I really think Li Mu can talk to Mr. Yogurt." Li Qinran looked at the man and the cat chatting in a low voice, and couldn't help but turn his head and say to Brother Nan.
Brother Nan just grinned at Li Mu and Suo Ran.
At this time, a tea artist wearing cheongsam brought a set of complicated tea sets and placed it on the table.
The tea in this shop is not brewed before being served. Instead, someone will come to your table to brew the tea for you.
This is confidence in your own craftsmanship, which can give you a different experience in the process.
The tea artist takes tea out of the teapot, puts it into a tea bag, and crushes it with a small hammer. He then puts the broken tea leaves into a tea pounder, grinds them back and forth into powder, and then sifts them with a fine sieve, and what comes out are fine tea powders.
The kitten stared at the tea artist's actions without blinking, as if wanting to see what this thing was that cost so much.
The tea artist couldn't help but look at the kitten. Such a beautiful and spiritual kitten captured her instantly, and even the tone of her explanation of the tea ceremony was slowed down.
