Chapter 244 Warm Harbor

When walking into Haixin Tea Art, the waiters all knew Li Yuanlang and took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, Mr. Li."

Li Yuanlang smiled back and asked, "Is your boss here?"

"She just came back not long ago and is in the room upstairs. Do you need me to announce her?"

"Thank you, I'll look for it myself." Immediately, Li Yuanlang went upstairs to the room. Far away, he heard the sound of Zheng Haixin playing the guzheng, which was gentle, long, and lingering aftertaste.

Li Yuanlang didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open gently. He saw Zheng Haixin closing her eyes, concentrating on the music played by the strings.

He tiptoed to a place a few steps away from Zheng Haixin and stood there, folding his hands and placing them on his lower abdomen, listening carefully to the sounds of nature.

Zheng Haixin was still wearing white gauze and plain clothes, and her back looked like an immortal fairy, which reminded Li Yuanlang of the first time he saw her.

Li Yuanlang slowly closed his eyes, listened to the music, and following the rhythm of the tune, his mind suddenly entered the artistic conception of mountains, water, and brooks, and he couldn't extricate himself.

After a while, as the music came to an abrupt end, Zheng Haixin held the strings with her slender fingertips and made a crisp sound. She seemed to be talking to herself: "I haven't played it for a long time, and I feel a little rusty in playing it."

.”

"Very good, very good, I almost fell asleep again." Li Yuanlang couldn't help but responded.

"Really, but I feel that my playing is very poor. It lacks the original charm. I paused slightly when I hit the stream. It's probably because of my poor piano skills." Zheng Haixin had already noticed that Li Yuanlang was standing behind her, so she asked Li Yuanlang

She was not surprised at all.

"Your part was a bit lost, not paused. The sound of the water was not gurgling, but turning waves, with the majestic momentum of the sea." Li Yuanlang had listened to her playing the piano for a long time, and he could understand the mystery of the guzheng to some extent.

"I find that you are getting better and better at guzheng. Otherwise, I could accept you as my student and save you from always eavesdropping on other people's playing."

"I can't do it. I was born with no musical ability and my singing is always out of tune." Li Yuanlang explained: "I didn't eavesdrop. I wanted to knock on the door when I came in. I was suddenly moved by your beautiful piano music and couldn't help but come in."

.”

"Poor talk." Zheng Haixin stood up, politely let Li Yuanlang sit on the tea table, and prepared the tea herself. It was summer, and she brewed West Lake Longjing for Li Yuanlang. Drinking green tea in summer can reduce fat and lose weight, and can also reduce fire.

.

This was the first time that Li Yuanlang enjoyed the treatment of Zheng Haixin making tea for him alone. Zheng Haixin first poured boiling spring water into the empty bowl, put the teacup into the empty bowl, clamped the teacup with a tea clip, and rotated it in the bowl. Then he put the empty bowl into the empty bowl.

Pour the water in the bowl into a tureen, shake it a few times, then pour it into a fair cup, shake it a few times, and finally pour it out.

This completes the first step of washing the cups, and the next step is making tea.

Zheng Haixin put tea leaves in the tureen, poured boiling water into the tureen, shook the tureen several times, and quickly poured the water into the fair cup. Then poured the tea from the fair cup into the empty bowl, put the tea cup into the empty bowl, and washed it again.

Pour in the boiling water again, use the lid to remove the foam, cover with the lid, leave it for about ten seconds, put it into a fair cup, and then use a fair cup to divide the tea.

Finally, Zheng Haixin poured tea for Li Yuanlang first before pouring tea for herself. After Li Yuanlang tasted it, Zheng Haixin took a sip of tea and asked: "How does it taste?"

"Tea beauty is even more beautiful." Li Yuanlang took a sip and said half-jokingly.

"Come on, I'm not as beautiful as your water lady."

"Everyone has their own differences. Haixin, I always feel very relaxed in front of you. No matter whether I listen to the piano or drink tea, or just sleep here, I feel no pressure at all. I feel refreshed and quite refreshed."

It's full of vitality." Li Yuanlang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrant and hot tea entered his throat, giving him a different feeling and taste.

"I believe it." Zheng Haixin smiled very proudly: "You are here to study. If you want to relax, you can come. I am always welcome."

"You still have a base in Shuiming Township. I'm afraid I'll be rejected when I come here."

"I don't go to the base very often. I have arranged for a right-hand assistant to take care of it. If anything happens, I will be called. I will spend more time here during this period. I have to go all out to prepare for the exam, and I will also apply for Professor Lu in the second half of the year.

Where is the graduate student?" Zheng Haixin poured another cup of tea for Li Yuanlang and said softly.

"In this case, I will often come to beg for mercy. As long as you don't find it annoying." After tasting the fragrant tea, Li Yuanlang lay on the bed at Zheng Haixin's invitation, and she played him another song "Mountains and Flowing Waters", accompanied by the gentle and graceful music.

To the melody, Li Yuanlang fell into a sweet sleep...

The small farmhouse Huang Liwei found was very unique, with a large tile-roofed house, a wooden antique corridor built on the edge of the yard, and two tables.

The owner and chef, whose surname is Chen, is an old man in his seventies. Master Chen worked in the city hall for nearly forty years in his early years. After retirement, he returned to his hometown of Guangnan and returned to his old business when he had nothing to do, picking up a large spoon.

.

One of the characteristics of his family is that most of the ingredients used are vegetables grown in the garden behind his home. The chicken, fish, meat and eggs are also purchased from nearby farmers, and green and organic foods account for the majority.

There is also his superb cooking skills, after all, they were at the level of state banquets, and even the taste of home-cooked meals is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

There is only one table, so you must reserve it in advance. It also depends on Master Chen's mood and whether he has the energy to serve.

It can be seen that Huang Liwei is very familiar with Master Chen and his wife. They all call Huang Liwei "Xiao Huang", and Huang Liwei respectfully calls the old couple Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, and they chat in a very lively manner.

While Huang Liwei and Mr. Chen were talking, Li Yuanlang poured a pot of tea for Shen Zhizhi and poured half a cup for himself.

"I know, you really did a lot to help me with the matters in Shuiming Township a while ago. I'll give you a drink with water instead of wine." The reason why Li Yuanlang drank tea to pay homage to Chen Zhizhi was because he didn't want to bring up this topic at the wine table.

Shen knew that he was disgusted with mixing official matters at the wine table, and Li Yuanlang respected his habit, so he took advantage of tea time to speak clearly, so that he knew what he meant.

"Brother, you are too polite." Shen Zhizhi took a sip of hot tea and said, "Actually, I do that out of admiration for you. I have come into contact with many officials over the years, and few of them sincerely work for the people like you.

, wholeheartedly and selflessly. Brother, I admire you from the bottom of my heart, really. In the past, Chang Ming always mentioned how good you are in my ears, and my ears were numb, thinking that he was exaggerating. Now it seems that Chang Ming

Ming is right. Brother, I would like to toast you with tea instead of wine, not for anything else but for your personality and character."

"We are each other, and your brother is equally worthy of praise in the face of right and wrong. You have also poured sweat into this road in Shuiming Township. You have been working on the construction site day and night from dawn to dusk. Brother, you are much thinner than before."

"Let's stop complimenting each other. Compared with your brother, I'm still far behind."

The two teacups clinked together again, chatting and laughing happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Of course, as for the work-related topics, especially those involving Shen Zheng, Shen Zhizhi did not mention a word, and the content was indifferent and irrelevant.

Li Yuanlang had already introduced Huang Liwei to Shen Zhizhi. When Huang Liwei came back, he asked Shen Zhizhi what kind of food he liked to eat. As long as it was not complicated, Master Chen could make it.

This old chef is old, and if he proposes exquisite dishes for a state banquet, it will be very difficult for him to prepare them. But simple home-cooked dishes are still no problem.

Shen Zhizhi put the menu aside and said, "The three of us can make whatever we want. You can make it as you like. I don't have any special dietary restrictions, as long as I don't add coriander."

"Okay, I'll tell Master Chen to do it, and you guys can talk first."

In just two cigarettes, Master Chen quickly asked his wife to serve six dishes and one soup.

Don't tell me, just by smelling the aroma of the dishes, Li Yuanlang can feel that Master Chen's cooking skills are very superb.

Su Fangwan's cooking is delicious, but compared with Master Chen, it is simply incomparable. They are not on the same level, but far behind.

"You know, drink some white wine?" Huang Liwei brought his own Feitian Moutai, which was produced in the 1980s. A bottle on the market is worth more than 30,000 yuan.

It can be seen that in order to get to know Shen Zhiwei, Huang Liwei contributed all the rare Maotai products at the bottom of the box, and his intentions were not sincere.

"This wine is rare. It has been more than 30 years and almost 40 years. Deputy County Magistrate Huang, you are really willing to spend a lot of money." Shen knew that the amount of wine was not too much, just so-so. Buy Moutai and drink less, but when encountering this kind of wine, Laojiu, who is older than him, naturally wants to try it.

Fine wine goes with delicious food, and wine is the best bridge of communication. After knowing that after three glasses of white wine, Shen opened up his chatterbox, first breaking his previous reserve and talking about official topics.

"Huang, Brother Huang, I understand what you mean. You want me to help you put in a good word for you in front of my father. That's no problem. The key is..." Shen Zhizhi burped, and his face became more and more drunk. Yue Bai. Li Yuanlang understood him, and Shen Zhi knew that his face was as pale as a piece of white paper when he drank too much.

It's just a normal reaction for him to drink.

Shen Zhizhi paused, wagging his finger and said, "The key is that you are Shui Qingzhang's, and it's difficult to change this. But seeing how sincere you are, I'll go back and give it a try, but don't have high hopes."

When Huang Liwei heard this, his eyes dimmed slightly. Shen Zhizhi must have learned this information from his father, which meant that he would never be able to get rid of the water element label in his life.

Li Yuanlang saw this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and said peaceably: "I know, please say a few nice words to Brother Huang, and I will thank you for Brother Huang." After saying that, he clinked the wine glasses with Shen Zhizhi, and the two of them drank it up.

Shen Zhizhi wiped his mouth, his tongue was a little big, "I'll do my best for your sake, brother." Suddenly he changed the subject and talked about Li Yuanlang.

"Brother, hehe, don't you know, I know some things about you, do you want to hear it?"
