Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 906 Tang Guohua's Discovery!

After seeing Bang Geng accept the red envelope, Jia Dongming smiled and greeted Li Huaide and Factory Director Zhou, "Factory Director Li! Factory Director Zhou! I still need to wait here for other guests. I just happened to get some good tea from Brother Wu a few days ago. I'll have Bang Geng take you inside for a tea session!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Li Huaide immediately smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Please go ahead with your business. We'll go in and sit with Comrade Jia Geng for a while."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Banggeng immediately introduced himself politely to Li Huaide and Factory Director Zhou: "Uncle Li! Uncle Zhou! You may not know this, but some time ago my uncle brought back a tea table carved from tree roots, along with a tea set specifically for brewing Gongfu tea. I learned from my uncle for two or three days, and later I will use the best tea leaves from my uncle's place to brew a cup for you two uncles to taste."

Upon hearing Bang Geng's explanation, Li Huaide's face showed surprise. He smiled and asked Bang Geng, "Jia Geng! What did you just say about Gongfu tea? I've never heard of this kind of tea before."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question, Banggeng explained as he walked, "Uncle Li! The so-called Gongfu tea is not the name of a type of tea, but a method of drinking tea. You will find out when we get to my uncle's study."

Bang Geng led Li Huaide and Factory Director Zhou into Jia Dongming's study, which he used for brewing tea, amidst the curious and envious gazes of many people. As soon as Li Huaide and Factory Director Zhou entered, their eyes were drawn to a tea table carved from a large tree root.

Li Huaide looked at the lifelike dragon and phoenix carvings on the tea table, a look of surprise on his face, and blurted out to Banggeng, "Jiageng! Is this the tea table you were just talking about?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question, Banggeng greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Li! Uncle Zhou! Please have a seat! I'll demonstrate the process of brewing Gongfu tea for you."

Upon hearing Banggeng's greeting, Li Huaide and Factory Director Zhou sat down on stools made from tree roots. Banggeng sat down opposite them, opened a snack box, placed several boxes of snacks in front of them, and said with a smile, "Uncle Li! Uncle Zhou! Please have some snacks first, and I'll make you some tea."

Upon hearing Banggeng's words, Li Huaide smiled and said to Banggeng, "Jiageng! I came here on an empty stomach to eat Shazhu's cooking. I'll skip the snacks for now. Hurry up and get moving, let me see what this so-called Kungfu tea is all about."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's instructions, Banggeng immediately opened the lid of the Yixing teapot, then picked up a tea box from the side, poured an appropriate amount of tea leaves into the teapot with a teaspoon, picked up the kettle from the stove, poured boiling water into the teapot, then poured the tea into teacups, and finally poured the tea from the teacups directly onto the tea table.
"Jia Geng! Why did you throw away this perfectly good tea? Isn't that a waste of tea leaves?" Director Zhou asked Bang Geng with a puzzled expression when he saw Bang Geng pouring out the tea.

Upon hearing Director Zhou's question, Banggeng poured boiling water into the Zisha teapot while explaining, "Uncle Zhou! The first step is called washing the tea, and the second brew is where the tea leaves have the most quintessential flavor. My uncle always uses this teacup to brew tea, but because the teacup gets very hot during the brewing process, I can't master the technique, so I have to use a Zisha teapot instead."

After introducing the tea, Bang Geng poured another cup for both of them and said with a smile, "Uncle Li! Uncle Zhou! Please try this tea and see if it's any different from the tea you usually drink." Hearing Bang Geng's words, Li Huaide reached out and picked up the teacup that Bang Geng had placed in front of him. When he brought the teacup to his lips, he smelled the fragrance of tea leaves, which made him sniff involuntarily. An expression of intoxication unconsciously appeared on his face, and he blurted out in agreement, "Putting aside the taste of the tea, just this aroma is enough to show that Director Jia's tea leaves are not ordinary."

After finishing his sentence, Li Huaide took a small sip of tea. The moment the tea entered his mouth, a refreshing aroma spread throughout his mouth. The tea was fresh, sweet, and mellow, making him feel as if he were immersed in nature.

"Old Li! The tea from Director Jia's shop has a refreshing, mellow, and lingering flavor. It's as if it releases a faint fragrance in your mouth, making you feel intoxicated." After taking a sip of the tea, Director Zhou's face immediately showed an expression of delight, and he couldn't help but agree.

Hearing Director Zhou's approval and savoring the taste of the tea, Li Huaide couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Zhou! This tea has a wonderful aroma, mellow and lingering. With just a gentle sip, you can feel the delicate fragrance spreading between your mouth and nose, which is truly refreshing. Thinking back to how we used to drink tea, I've really seen something new this time!"

Just as Bang Geng led Factory Director Zhou and Li Huaide to Jia Dongming's study to make tea, Tang Guohua happened to come out of the toilet and saw the two people following behind Bang Geng.

When Tang Guohua saw the two people, he thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't mistaken. He became extremely excited and quickly turned around and ran into the Jia family's old house.

At that moment, the Tang family members were sitting in the main room, drinking tea and watching TV. Suddenly, Tang Guohua ran excitedly into the main room through the back door and shouted to Tang Jiansheng and his wife, "Dad! Mom! Do you know who I just saw in the other courtyard?"

Upon hearing his second son's shout, Tang Jiansheng instinctively looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw Tang Guohua's excited expression, he frowned and asked Tang Guohua with a very serious expression, "Second son! What happened? Look at you acting so rashly, what kind of behavior is this?"

Seeing her second son's excited expression, Wen Xiaorong also showed curiosity and asked Tang Guohua calmly, "Guohua! Who did you just see? Was it something that made you so excited?"

Upon hearing Tang Jiansheng and his wife's question, Tang Guohua, recalling what he had just witnessed, took a few deep breaths of fresh air and excitedly introduced to Tang Jiansheng and his wife, "Dad! Mom! I just saw my brother-in-law leading our factory's Director Zhou and Director Li from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill into a newly built room in the courtyard."

"Second brother! What did you say? Who did you just see?" Tang Jiansheng's face showed disbelief when he heard Tang Guohua's explanation, and he quickly asked Tang Guohua for confirmation.
