Ling Xiaotian's office.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue sat on the sofa in the reception room, while Ling Xiaotian personally brewed Kung Fu tea for Xia Ruofei.
The steaming hot water was poured into the teapot, and the aroma of tea immediately filled the room.
Ling Xiaotian skillfully washed the tea and brewed it. Then, she used a small clip to pass the small purple teacup in front of Xia Ruofei. She smiled and said, "Little Xia, try this Tieguanyin. This is a good tea that a friend gave me. Usually, I can't bear to drink it myself! "
"Thank you, Uncle Ling!" Xia Ruofei said with a slight bow.
Xia Ruofei used two fingers to gently pick up the teacup and brought it to his mouth. Suddenly, a fragrant aroma assailed his nostrils. The biggest characteristic of Tieguanyin was that the aroma of the tea was very attractive. Xia Ruofei took a small sip and felt that it was very clear and smooth, and the aftertaste was very obvious.
Ling Xiaotian had been watching Xia Ruofei until Xia Ruofei finished the cup of tea. Then, she asked, "How do you feel?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Uncle Ling, I don't know much about tea, but your Tieguanyin is indeed much better than the ones I've drunk before."
Ling Xiaotian laughed and said, "My tea is a rare treasure! My friend bought a tea mountain in Anxi, but only the tea leaves on one tree are particularly good. Every year, the tea leaves on that tree are picked and fried separately. Once it's done, it's basically divided among my friends! "
"Uncle Ling, if this tea is sold in the market, it should be very expensive, right?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
"This kind of tea is at least a few thousand yuan per catty!" Ling Xiaotian said, "Tieguanyin's price is still acceptable, but if it's a top-notch Da Hong Pao, the price will be even more frightening, and there's no market for it!"
Ling Xiaotian took a sip of the tea and continued, "The quality of Da Hong Pao tea sold on the market varies from 100 yuan to 5,000 yuan. However, these tea leaves can't be from the mother tree. The most authentic Da Hong Pao grew on the high cliffs of Mount Wuyi's Nine Dragons Nest, where the sunlight was short and there was a lot of reflection. The temperature difference between day and night was great, and the top of the cliffs was soaked and dripping with water all year round. This unique natural environment had created the unique qualities of the Great Crimson Robe. There are a total of six Da Hong Pao mother trees, and the annual yield is only about 500 grams. In 2005, 20 grams of Da Hong Pao was sold at a sky-high price of 208,000 RMB, which is equivalent to over 10 million RMB per kilogram. "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be speechless. Although he was from Southeast Province, he didn't know much about tea. He knew that good tea leaves were very expensive, but he never thought that there would be tea leaves with such a sky-high price.
"Isn't that a little too exaggerated?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Ling Xiaotian laughed and said, "That's nothing. The problem is that you can't buy it even if you have the money. Since 2006, the country has banned the harvesting of tea leaves from the mother trees, because the six mother trees have been protected as intangible cultural heritage. Now, some of the sky-high prices of Da Hong Pao tea on the market are produced by second-generation trees, while some are produced by cutting from the mother trees. However, due to the different growing environments, the quality of the tea leaves is also much worse!"
Ling Qingxue smiled and said, "Dad, since you can't buy it, what's the point of talking about it?"
"Qingxue, it's okay! I'm very interested in what Uncle Ling said! "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
He wasn't being polite. In fact, when the topic of tea leaves was brought up, Xia Ruofei had an idea. He wanted to plant tea trees in his space. As long as the trees were good, the space's unique environment would definitely produce the best tea leaves!
Therefore, Xia Ruofei asked, "Uncle Ling, since the Da Hong Pao mother trees in Mount Wuyi are so precious, shouldn't they be carefully protected? If they were stolen or destroyed, the loss would be great. "
Ling Xiaotian laughed and said, "Of course, the Mount Wuyi government bought 100 million Huaxia dollars as insurance for these mother trees! There are also special troops stationed there to protect these mother trees. They are already national treasures, so the possibility of them being stolen is very low. "
Xia Ruofei nodded. He originally wanted to find a way to get the branches of these six mother trees and then cut them in the space, but now it seemed that the possibility was very low!
However, it wasn't necessarily impossible. With Xia Ruofei's current skills, it was very possible to sneak into the teahouse and get a few branches without anyone noticing.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't have such an idea for the time being. After all, planting tea wasn't an urgent matter. Sneaking into a teahouse protected by the garrison was against the law. Xia Ruofei didn't need to take the risk at all.
However, Xia Ruofei had already planted a seed in his heart. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely try to get some branches of the Da Hong Pao mother trees. The products of the Ring-Tu space had to be the best or even the best. Xia Ruofei disdained to plant ordinary tea trees.
Xia Ruofei didn't expect that this opportunity would come so quickly, but this was a story for another time.
The three of them chatted in the office for a while, then the phone on Ling Xiaotian's desk rang.
He got up and answered, "Hello … I am … Oh, hello, hello … Is that so? Thank you so much! Thank you … "
After Ling Xiaotian hung up the phone, he looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Xiao Xia, just now Deputy Director Shi of the Municipal Party Committee called in person. He is now in charge of the bidding for the designated reception units of the Municipal Party Committee. He informed us that Ling Yun Hotel has directly entered the final list of bidders!"
"That's good! Congratulations, Uncle Ling. You can make a big impact in the hotel industry in the future. "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Ling Xiaotian said with emotion, "This time it's all thanks to you, Xiao Xia! Otherwise, not to mention the designated reception units of the Municipal Party Committee, even our company would be damaged! "
"Uncle Ling, since you've entered the list of bidders, prepare to compete!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "As long as Ling Yun Hotel's hardware meets the standards, and the preferential terms are better than the other hotels, there won't be any other factors that will affect the winning bid!"
Today's incident must have spread throughout the Municipal Party Committee. As long as the people in charge weren't idiots, they wouldn't dare to do anything shady in this bidding.
"Mm! We will prepare well! " Ling Xiaotian said, "As long as it's an open and fair competition, our Ling Yun Hotel has a great chance of winning! Xiao Xia, thank you so much this time! "
"Uncle Ling, you're welcome. We're all on the same side …" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, we're on the same side …" Ling Xiaotian said happily.
Ling Xiaotian looked at Xia Ruofei, and then looked at Ling Qingxue. He couldn't stop smiling.
Previously, Ling Xiaotian still had some doubts, thinking that Ling Qingxue was using Xia Ruofei as a shield. However, after seeing how Xia Ruofei treated Ling Qingxue today, he was convinced beyond a doubt.
Ling Qingxue blushed and said coquettishly, "Dad! What are you laughing at? "
Ling Xiaotian said with a smile, "I'm just happy! My daughter has good taste! "
Ling Qingxue looked at Xia Ruofei quickly and asked, "Dad, does that mean … you agree with me and Ruofei?"
Ling Xiaotian pretended to be confused and said, "When did I object?"
"Dad …" Ling Qingxue said angrily, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to take a test …"
"Qingxue, dad must have drunk too much yesterday and was talking nonsense!" Ling Xiaotian quickly interrupted Ling Qingxue and said, "I've never forced you to do anything about your personal feelings …"
At this point, Ling Xiaotian said awkwardly, "It's just that sometimes I'll give you some suggestions … You didn't agree, so I didn't force you, right?"
Ling Qingxue unceremoniously rolled her eyes at her father, and then couldn't help but laugh.
"Uncle Ling, thank you!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Ling Xiaotian laughed happily. Then, he remembered something and asked embarrassedly, "Oh right, that … Xiao Xia, I heard from Qingxue that … You recently got a pair of Blood Red Dragons?"
