Before, he hadn't been too anxious to deal with the person who had ssed up his good fortune.
He figured he would handle that person after the dicinal herb he coveted had matured. But now he knew he had to take action because the herb he had set his sights on had been plucked away...
Hu Xiaobei had no idea he'd stirred up major trouble. At this mont, after he'd properly stowed away the dug-up mutated dicinal herb, he sat with Shen Youwei under a gazebo beneath a tree...
"Mayor Shen, here's so tea I brought with . Try it and see how it tastes," Xiaobei said as he produced a package of tea leaves!
Because of his preference for tea, Hu Xiaobei had planted a tea tree next to his orchard and often watered it with True Qi Water, so it grew quite well!
"You're too kind, Doctor Wang!"
"It's hogrown; I just hope it's to your taste!"
"Of course it is!"
As they spoke, Shen Youwei quickly stood up and fetched his entire set of tea utensils!
Seeing how skilled he was, Hu Xiaobei realized that Shen Youwei was also a true tea lover!
...
"These tea leaves..."
Once ready, Shen Youwei opened the tea box!
At that mont, Shen Youwei was astonished!
Because the mont he lifted the lid, he caught the scent of that rich, refreshing aroma...
Heartwarmingly beautiful! While marveling, he looked at them closely and found that their color, and even their shape, were all unbelievably perfect!
"Doctor Wang, did you cultivate these yourself?"
"Yeah! I found a wild tea tree next to the orchard and just watered it a bit. Now it's co into shape! Why? Is there sothing wrong with the tea leaves?"
"No, not at all!"
After shaking his head vigorously, he picked up a small handful and placed it in the teapot...
Taking a deep breath, Shen Youwei began to brew the tea with water!
The instant the hot water soaked in, a breathtaking fragrance imdiately filled the entire courtyard!
Not just Hu Xiaobei and Shen Youwei who were seated there, but even Shen Tianhai and Wei Qing who were playing chess at the entrance of the main house were amazed!
"The sll of these tea leaves is so fragrant!"
"That's what I'm saying!"
Praising thus, they both wandered over toward them...
"Yuanwei, where did you get such fine tea leaves?"
"Yeah, are there more? I'd like so myself!"
Hearing Shen Tianhai and Wei Qing's eager inquiries, Shen Youwei gave a wry smile and said, "I'm not that fortunate! These tea leaves were brought by Doctor Hu; he grew them himself!"
"This..."
At this, they all looked at Hu Xiaobei in stunned silence!
Seeing their shocked expressions, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose and said, "Don't look at like that. Let's all try it and see how it tastes!"
"Right!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them turned their attention back to the pot of tea...
Soon, the pale golden liquid was poured out by Shen Youwei...
"How beautiful!"
Admiring the pale golden drink, the three of them praised sincerely...
"Here, everyone, have a taste!"
As Shen Youwei finished pouring, Hu Xiaobei picked up a cup!
Before this, Hu Xiaobei had not tried the tea either, so he didn't know what to expect from its flavor...
As he lifted it to his nose, Hu Xiaobei caught that absolutely heartwarming scent!
In an instant, Hu Xiaobei's eyes were filled with rapture...
After taking a gentle sip, Hu Xiaobei's eyes widened imdiately...
At that mont, he truly felt as if he had beco a tea tree, voraciously absorbing various nutrients...
"This... it seems my Nine Wood True Qi really is powerful!"
Thinking this, he ca back to his senses to see the three people were still enraptured...
...
"My goodness, this taste is simply marvelous!"
"Exactly!"
"It's indescribably delicious!"
After they finished their drinks, the three people gazed at Hu Xiaobei in a daze!
Hu Xiaobei felt chills from their stares...
"What's going on?"
"Nothing, it's just that we want to buy so more, that wouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Exactly!"
"What do you an buy? As long as you're willing, you can just pick them in my village!"
Hu Xiaobei knew that his tea tree was very large and that he couldn't possibly drink it all himself, so he didn't mind at all!
"Great! Great! Great! Doctor Hu, I'm truly curious about your village now, I must take a good look when I have the chance!"
"You're welco anyti..."
...
Twenty minutes later, after Shen Tianhai and Wei Qing went back to their chess ga, Shen Youwei looked at Hu Xiaobei solemnly and said, "Brother Xiaobei, I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you, my father would have been in real danger this ti!"
"Mayor Shen, you're being too polite!"
"It's not politeness, it's the truth! By the way, Brother Xiaobei, the roads in your village are pretty bad, have you thought about fixing them?"
"I've been thinking about it! But there's still a bit of a shortfall in funds."
"How much more do you need?"
Hearing Shen Youwei's question, Hu Xiaobei vaguely guessed his thoughts, "Mayor Shen, you..."
"I learned from your previous interaction with Wu Yuanwei that the vegetables and fruits produced by Xiaohe Village are selling very well. I know they have great prospects, so I am prepared to offer strong support!"
"This... for this, I am truly grateful!"
"Brother Xiaobei, don't get too excited yet. I will provide policies for you, but you must ensure success, otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to others!"
"Yes! I promise that I will make the vegetables and fruits from Xiaohe Village truly take off, and I will also help the surrounding villages prosper together!"
"Good! That promise is enough for !"
An hour later, Hu Xiaobei returned to the village feeling very pleased!
Thinking of the support policies he had obtained, he was very happy...
Once ho, he carefully transplanted the mutated dicinal herbs, then Hu Xiaobei heard footsteps and turned around, startled.
Because he saw that almost everyone from the village had co!
After his mouth twitched slightly, Hu Xiaobei whispered, "What's all this about?"
Seeing the nervous look on Hu Xiaobei's face, the leading Han Xueyao chuckled and said, "Nothing, we just ca to see our hero!"
Hearing Han Xueyao speak, the others chid in with smiles, "Exactly!"
"What hero? I'm just a farr, you all know that! Alright, everyone disperse now, okay?"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they all knew he was still the Hu Xiaobei they were familiar with, so they quickly dispersed...
...
"Master!"
After everyone had dispersed, Shinjima Hanako kneeled before Hu Xiaobei as swiftly and silently as a ghost!
Seeing her kneeling respectfully on the ground, Hu Xiaobei nodded lightly and said, "Yes! Those five people have been taken care of?"
