#1705 - The scum of wine, the best of vinegar!
Su He refilled his and Ying Zhi's tea cups, then drained his own.
"Brother Ying Zhi, this is good tea! This tea has truly returned to simplicity! But why is it no different from ordinary tea?"
Ying Zhi also said with some doubt, "It really is like that, there's no difference from ordinary tea..."
Lan Wenhao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Because this is ordinary tea."
He didn't want to say it originally, but the words of these two people were really making him extremely uncomfortable!
What the hell is 'tea that has returned to simplicity'!
They even came up with such vocabulary, Lan Wenhao had no choice but to reveal the truth!
Originally, the three of them drinking tea was quite an elegant affair, but now it had become a bit humorous.
Su He said with a hint of surprise in his voice, "Brother Wenhao, you said you cultivated this tea for five hundred years, how could it be ordinary tea!"
Ying Zhi chimed in from the side, "That's right! That's right, it definitely can't be ordinary tea!"
Lan Wenhao said, "The story is a long one. After I personally planted this tea five hundred years ago, I carefully nurtured it day and night..."
"Then, before it could grow up, it was about to wither, so I intercepted a bit of its vitality and re-cultivated it."
"Well~ I only recently successfully produced the first batch of tea!"
Su He and Ying Zhi were speechless for a long time.
What a five hundred years, so this tea has been tossed around in life and death for five hundred years?
Lan Wenhao's method of planting tea is very powerful!
Su He said, "Brother Wenhao, you grow tea very well, but don't grow it next time."
Ying Zhi said, "Brother Su He is right, otherwise this tea will suffer, you will suffer, and we will drink... and return to simplicity!"
Hearing the two people's teasing, Lan Wenhao's face turned bright red.
"Our Lan family has always been proud of our architectural skills. After so many years, it's probably because we really don't have the talent for planting."
Su He said, "Brother Ying Zhi, you need to be more confident, remove the word 'probably'."
"You just don't have the talent for planting, just like I don't have the talent for building houses!"
At this moment, Nan Tianlong arrived, cupping his hands and saying, "Greetings, Blue Emperor, Su Emperor, and Ying Emperor!"
Seeing Nan Tianlong appear, Ying Zhi said, "Tianlong, what is it?"
Nan Tianlong looked a little embarrassed and winked at Ying Zhi.
Meaning to ask Ying Zhi to come out and talk to him alone.
Ying Zhi said carelessly, "Whatever it is, just say it here, why be so coy? I have no secrets to hide!"
Just as Ying Zhi said, he really had no secrets, there was no need to let Lan Wenhao and Su He guess about such a trivial matter.
Nan Tianlong cleared his throat and said, "Emperor Ying, you told me to say it."
"Five hundred years ago, Emperor Ying, you personally buried that..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ying Zhi suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Stop!"
Nan Tianlong looked at Ying Zhi with an innocent expression.
The meaning was obvious, you told me to say it, so you can't blame me.
Now, Nan Tianlong is also a person of high position and great power in the Little Hongmeng Star Region.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as a big shot, a major figure who could make parts of the Little Hongmeng Star Region tremble with a stomp of his foot!
But that depends on who he's facing. In front of Lan Wenhao and others, he was still the Qingyang City Lord who was loyal to Ying Zhi!
If he was in front of Qin Yi, his status would be even more humble!
Seeing Ying Zhi like this, Lan Wenhao and Su He became interested.
Lan Wenhao looked at Nan Tianlong and said, "Don't stop, continue talking, I'm quite curious what you buried."
Su He said, "That's right, Brother Wenhao and I have the same idea, don't stop, keep talking!"
Nan Tianlong, while looking at Ying Zhi signaling him not to speak with his eyes, and also looking at Lan Wenhao and Su He whose eyes were filled with the fire of gossip, only felt his scalp tingle.
Isn't he just being treated like a sandwich cookie squeezed in the middle!
He couldn't afford to offend either side, otherwise the next few days would be difficult.
Nan Tianlong slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "Blue Emperor, Su Emperor, Ying Emperor, I suddenly remembered that I have some urgent matters that I haven't done yet, so I'll take my leave!"
Running away is the main priority right now!
If he doesn't run away now, he can only offend one side later!
Ying Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched Nan Tianlong leave.
Now that Nan Tianlong had left, Lan Wenhao and Su He's gazes were fixed on Ying Zhi.
Lan Wenhao said, "Brother Ying Zhi, what was Nan Tianlong talking about just now?"
Ying Zhi said, "Don't pay attention to it, let's drink tea! Drink tea!"
With that, he filled his own teacup and drained it in one gulp, a completely different tea-tasting expression on his face compared to just now.
As if savoring the endless aftertaste, he said, "Good tea! Good tea!"
Lan Wenhao said, "Come on, you just said this tea wasn't very good."
"Honestly confess, what did you bury five hundred years ago?"
Su He said, "Yes, honestly confess!"
After some questioning, Ying Zhi finally opened his mouth and said:
"It's nothing, five hundred years ago I buried a jar of wine, and at the time I told Nan Tianlong to remind me when the time came."
"But I didn't expect that today would be exactly five hundred years, and this guy didn't even bother to remind me at a specific time."
Lan Wenhao said, "Burying a jar of wine, why are you being so secretive, are you afraid we won't be able to drink it?"
Su He said, "Hehe, we just finished drinking tea, now drinking wine is a beautiful thing! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go drink together!"
Ying Zhi said hesitantly, "It's not that I'm afraid you'll drink it, but that wine..."
Soon, the reason why Ying Zhi was so evasive surfaced.
"Brother Ying Zhi, you didn't bury a jar of wine, this is purely a jar of vinegar!"
"Five-hundred-year-old aged vinegar, how can you open your eyes and call it wine..."
Ying Zhi at this time had none of the expression he had when teasing Lan Wenhao before, and said with a slightly awkward expression:
"Now you know the reason, right? At that time, I knew that my jar of wine wasn't brewed very well, so..."
Lan Wenhao felt very happy inside. It turned out that he wasn't the only one who didn't have talent in some areas, Ying Zhi was also like that.
Being laughed at alone is a completely different feeling than having someone accompany you.
Pouring this thing, which was tentatively called vinegar wine, into a bowl, Lan Wenhao tasted it.
"Hmm! This is high-quality vinegar! I would call it a fine product!"
Su He tasted it with disbelief: "Eh~ it really is! This is the scum of wine, the best of vinegar! Brother Ying Zhi, your craftsmanship is extraordinary."
"With such craftsmanship, if you were to go to an area where mortals live, it shouldn't be a problem to live."
After being mocked, Ying Zhi and Lan Wenhao turned their gazes towards Su He in unison.
Su He felt a sense of foreboding in his heart: "You two, why are you looking at me like that, could it be that there are flowers on my face?"
Ying Zhi said with a wicked smile, "Brother Su He, you were the most energetic in commenting on the two of us just now, why don't you let the two of us also comment on your masterpiece?"
Lan Wenhao nodded repeatedly from the side.
Su He said helplessly, "You two are joking, where do I have any masterpiece for you to comment on."
