Normally, no one would come to see them at this time, because everyone is busy with their own work. Unless there is an emergency, the villagers will not disturb each other in the morning.
Thinking that there might be something urgent, Li Chenmo washed his hands and said, "Wife, I will go and take a look."
Lu Jueyu nodded to him, took the harvested soybeans into her own space, and then continued harvesting. While she was busy in the backyard, Li Chenmo opened the door and saw a rare visitor.
He glanced at the unfamiliar young man next to Doctor Xie for a moment and asked, "Doctor Xie, what brings you to my place early in the morning?"
Doctor Xie was a straightforward person and hated wasting time, so he said, "Nephew Li, I’m here to find your wife."
Li Chenmo raised his eyebrows, stepped aside to let them in, and said, "My wife is in the backyard. Please come in."
Doctor Xie nodded to him and entered the house, followed by his apprentice. Like everyone else, Song Yan’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the thriving vegetable gardens.
After Li Chenmo locked the gate, he led them to the living room. He poured them two cups of hot tea and said, "Please have a seat. I will inform my wife."
Taking his seat, Doctor Xie said, "Thank you, Nephew."
When the two were alone, Song Yan looked around and muttered, "It’s really rare to have a courtyard like this in a village."
Doctor Xie took a sip of tea and his eyes lit up. It is not uncommon for villagers to treat guests to tea, but it is rare for the villagers to be willing to serve Pu’er tea.
Besides festivals or wedding banquets, most people will serve the guests with Tieguanyin tea, which is already pretty good. For daily consumption, villagers drink mountain tea picked and processed by themselves.
Just as Doctor Xie was thinking about how much Li Chenmo spent on the tea he bought from the black market, Song Yan drank the tea and said in surprise, "What a good tea."
He glanced at his apprentice and asked, "Is this your first time drinking this kind of tea?"
Song Yan nodded and said, "Teacher, although my family could be considered a high income family, we can only afford to consume high quality Tieguanyin tea. The taste of this tea is much better than what my father drank before."
"It’s called Pu’er tea, and it’s fermented tea. Pu’er of good quality like this is very rare," Doctor Xie said.
Knowing how precious this tea was, Song Yan took a sip slowly and savored it carefully. While they were drinking tea, Li Chenmo walked towards his wife.
