Chapter 25 [Old White Tea] (1)

When drinking tea, it is important to smell its fragrance, observe its color, and taste its taste. As the name suggests, the old white tea is white tea that has been stored for many years. The old white tea cooked by Fu Bo has been eighteen years. During the storage process for many years, the ingredients inside the tea will slowly change, the aroma component gradually evaporates, the color of the soup becomes red, and the tea nature gradually changes from cool to warm. The old white tea is cold and cool, and the same as rhinoceros horns. The longer it is stored, the more mellow the taste, and the higher the medicinal value and taste value.

Luo Lie smelled the tea fragrance. The fragrance of the old white tea was quiet and slightly fragrant. There was also a faint fragrance of Chinese medicine. It refreshed the mind. The color was as pleasing to the eye like amber. It was mellow in the mouth. After a closer look, I felt the sweet taste filled the mouth from the tip of my tongue, and then slowly soaked into my throat. The mind was actually reminded of the scene of spring flowers blooming and ice and snow melting. Luo Lie couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"

Uncle Fu nodded. He wanted to speak, but was diverted by the sound of a gulp of cow drink. It turned out that the blind man was already thirsty and drank the cup of tea in one sip. After drinking, he realized that everyone was looking at him. The blind man blinked his eyes and said in confusion: "Look at me? Are there any carved flowers on my face?"

The sparrow was still holding a purple clay cup to keep warm and said in surprise: "Don't you think it's hot?"

The blind man said, "Don't understand the darkness of the night during the day. You see, you are the daughter of a wealthy family. We are not as good as you. We are used to being poor and hungry and full. There are no such things to pay attention to. If you have a hot mouth, you will never wait for it to cool down. You have been used to eating food since you were a child. Not to mention hot tea, I can swallow a piece of hot tofu."

A rare smile appeared on the corner of Uncle Fu's lips. He picked up the iron kettle and filled the blind man with the iron kettle again. The blind man hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't let you pour me tea!" After the secret fight just now, the blind man sincerely admired the old senior.

Uncle Fu said: "Who is your master?"

The blind man laughed and said, "How can there be a master? Luo Lie and I are both hard children who do not collect small temples. My skills are half dependent on enlightenment and half hard practice. There are more than one master. There are too many stolen children on the Huangpu River, and I have never eaten pork and seen pigs running. After seeing more, I have gained insights."

Uncle Fu nodded and said, "In this way, you are talented and super-human in understanding!"

The blind man shamelessly nodded and said, "I do have some talent in this regard, but after all, I am a wild path, not as good as the old seniors, famous and professional."

Uncle Fu stood up and whispered: "Boy, come with me, I have something to ask you."

The blind man looked at Luo Lie, and Luo Lie nodded, indicating that it would be okay for him to go with him. Although he still lacked understanding of the mysterious character Fu Uncle, he could also conclude that Fu Uncle would not do anything that was unfavorable to him at present.

After the two left, the sparrow added hot tea to Luo Lie and whispered: "What's wrong with you coming to see me tonight?"

Luo Lie said: "I thought about it carefully after I went back and decided to earn three thousand yuan of your oceans."

The sparrow's clear and beautiful eyes quietly looked at Luo Lie, trying to read what he thoughts in his heart through his expression. However, she soon realized that her efforts were futile and took a sip of the slightly hot old white tea: "Tell me, what are the conditions?" Although she didn't know what Luo Lie thought, she could believe that Luo Lie was definitely not a greedy person. Her three thousand dollars of ocean might be an astronomical figure for others, but it was not enough to impress Luo Lie, otherwise he would not have thought about it for so long before he could answer her.

Luo Lie said: "You are so smart that you should be able to guess the purpose of my visit to Yingkou."

"Robbery or cheating? Don't blame me for not reminding you, Xie Liyun is the wife of Daoyin Liao Chen!"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Xie Liyun is already a wife, and the risk of cheating is too great, not to mention that she is far less young and beautiful than you."

The sparrow retorted, "Should I understand this sentence as a compliment?" But he knew in his heart that there was definitely teasing hidden in this guy's compliment, but the sparrow was not disgusted.

Luo Lie said: "Xie Liyun is not my target, Liu Tongsi is."

"That's the robbery!"

Luo Lie said: "To be precise, it is not a robbery of wealth, but to take back the thing that should belong to me. Only Liu Tongsi knew where this thing was hidden."

Sparrow said: "So you want to deal with Liu Tongsi. Do you need me to remind you of Liu Tongsi's current identity?"

Luo Lie said: "If you are afraid, just think I have said nothing."

Sparrow said: "Liu Tongsi is very scheming, has an extremely accurate grasp of the current situation, is well aware of the way to change the situation, and his excellent diplomatic ability can be easily eased between the Japanese and Russians, and is highly valued by the Beiyang government. If you provoke him, you may have no place to gain a foothold in Yingkou."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I didn't think I would stay here for too long, and I would leave immediately after I achieved my goal."

“Where to go?”

"Go to find Luo Xingmu with you!"

The sparrow looked at Luo Lie suspiciously. She originally tried every means to ask Luo Lie to agree to her request, but now Luo Lie nodded, but she began to doubt his motive: "What else do you want me to do? Tell me clearly!" I couldn't help but think of Luo Lie's previous additional conditions. Could he not make any unreasonable requests, right?

Luo Lie looked at her with a smile, without opening his mouth, looking like a gentle and humble gentleman.

Sparrow said: "Do you want me to arrange a safe retreat for you to leave Yingkou?"

Luo Lie nodded. Such a simple thing must not be hidden from the sparrow.

Sparrow said: "How do I know that your purpose is not to assassinate Liu Tongsi?"

Luo Lie said: "I am seeking money but not killing you!"

Sparrow said: "Although Liu Tongsi is not a good person, his political achievements in Yingkou are quite good. After taking over Yingkou from the Japanese, if it were not for him, it would be impossible for him to stabilize the situation in Yingkou in just a few years. If he died, Yingkou would inevitably fall into turmoil, which is definitely not a good thing for the people in Yingkou and even the Southern Manchuria."

Luo Lie said: "Don't you believe me?"

Sparrow said: "It's not that you don't believe it, but because no matter how perfect the plan is, there will inevitably be omissions. There are often various unexpected situations in the process of action. If you have 100% control over this matter, you will not choose to cooperate with me." Her words hit Luo Lie's weakness.

Luo Liedao: "Whether to cooperate depends entirely on your thoughts."

Sparrow said: "I can promise to arrange a retreat for you, but... you have to promise me one thing too."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to participate in your actions throughout the process!"

Uncle Fu threw the wallet to An Zhai. After An Zhai took it, he habitually counted the things inside.

Uncle Fu looked out the window. The night was dark and dark. The glass window reflected the scene behind him like a mirror. He saw An Zhai's actions clearly, stretched his frown a little, and whispered: "Is Thousand-Handed Guanyin Chen Jiumei still alive?"

The blind man seemed to be frightened when he heard this name, shivered, then stuffed his wallet into his pocket, and put it in a daze: "What Thousand-Handed Guanyin? Are you talking about the clay Buddha in Dongji Temple?"

Fu Bo said: "There are more than tens of thousands of thieves from all over the country, but there are not many people who have truly reached the pinnacle. Most of them have known the masters. Their techniques and swordsmanship have their own characteristics. Just in terms of skills, you can be considered the leader of the younger generation."

When the blind man received the praise from Uncle Fu, he felt his face shining. He said humbly: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. Compared with Uncle Fu, my tiny Taoist practice is nothing."
