Chapter 126 Tea tasting
Gu Yun looked at the little girl in front of him, and his smile became more amiable.
There was nothing he could do about it, this little girl was so beautiful that he wanted his son and daughter-in-law to have another granddaughter...
"What's the little girl's name?"
Hearing Gu Yun's question, Ning Xi felt nervous and held the corner of her clothes with her left hand. At this moment, she was like a fan meeting a famous star.
Excited and overwhelmed!
"Gu, hello, Teacher Gu, my name is Ning Xi, and I am an amateur Go enthusiast."
"oh?"
Hearing that the little girl in front of him was named Ning, Gu Yun's eyes flashed with surprise, but he regained his composure in an instant and said, "How many years have you been learning Go?"
If you start learning Go from a young age, you will only reach the first-level amateur level at this age, which is somewhat unsatisfactory, and your talent can only be regarded as average among average.
Feeling Ning Xi's nervousness, Ye Fan comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Gu is a very nice person, just say whatever you need."
"…Um."
Ning Xi took a breath, and the tension in her heart slowly disappeared. When she met Gu Yun's gaze, she nodded politely and answered, "I started learning Go at the beginning of this year, and it has been more than four months now."
"More than four months?"
Before Gu Yun said anything, Gu Ziyi, who was standing aside, couldn't help but exclaimed: "In such a short time, you have been promoted to the amateur level?"
Influenced by her grandfather, her granddaughter is naturally no stranger to Go. She has been trained by her grandfather to play Go since she was a child. Although she does not like Go very much, both her grandfather and her father often persuade her to play chicken for her.
Blood.
Over time, Gu Ziyi gradually fell in love with the mental sport of Go.
Thinking about it, it took Gu Ziyi a full year and a half to advance from amateur level 10 to amateur level 1. Just like that, she was even praised by her grandfather. She still remembers this very clearly.
Because of this, she acted so rude after hearing Ning Xi's words.
Reached amateur level in four months?
If true, then this girl named Ning Xi is definitely a genius in the field of Go.
"Pay attention to your image."
Gu Yun glanced at his granddaughter and warned him.
Then, his eyes fell on Ning Xi, without any doubt in his heart, because Ning Xi's eyes were so clear, so clear that they did not contain any impurities. He felt a little emotional in his heart, and said slowly: "It took more than four months to rise to this level.
Amateur level one, very talented.”
"Thank you, Teacher Gu."
Ning Xizhen nodded and lowered her head obediently.
Seeing this, Gu Yun looked at Ye Fan, the young man who had saved his life, and asked with a smile: "I heard from Ziyi that before you came here this time, the first thing you asked me was if I was a Go player?"
"right."
Ye Fan admitted generously that he didn't like to beat around the bush the most, so he went straight to the point and said: "This sudden visit is mainly because I have an unkind invitation."
"Why, you want me to take this little girl as my disciple?"
As soon as these words came out, Ning Xi's little hands clenched unconsciously, and her eyes were filled with surprise.
At this moment, she finally understood what the gift in Mark's mouth was.
She tilted her head and secretly stared at Ye Fan's handsome facial features. Her heartbeat couldn't help but start to accelerate. Her heart opened a little, and the soft sunshine warmed her heart.
Sunshine is Ye Fan.
Ever since he recognized Ye Fan, this man was unconditionally good to her. Although he was sometimes hateful, he really hid his feelings in every detail.
It is never words that touch people's hearts, but actions; consistent and sincere dedication is...
In her ears, she couldn't help but recall Mark's words: I want to chase you!
Thinking of this, Ning Xi's cheeks couldn't help but start to feel hot. She was so embarrassed that she quickly suppressed the thought and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Ye Fan saw Ning Xi's abnormal reaction in his eyes, and boundless warmth flashed across his eyes. He was good to Ning Xi, and he didn't have any intention. He just wanted to be good to her, that's all.
"Teacher Gu, it is indeed as you expected."
Ye Fan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Actually, I didn't know the identity of Teacher Gu at first. It was only when I heard Xiao Xi's father mention you at noon today that I had a suspicion in my mind."
Gu Yun placed the tea cup and poured the brewed tea carefully, "If I guess correctly, this little girl's father should be Ning Xiangtian, right?"
"right."
Ye Fan was not surprised that Gu Yun could guess the identity of Ning Xi's father. He said seriously: "I heard Uncle Ning said that he wanted Xiao Xi to become your teacher, so I had a call with Miss Gu."
At this point, he pleaded with his face, "During this visit, I shamelessly beg Teacher Gu to accept Xiao Xi as his disciple."
Gu Yun didn't speak either. There was a smile on his slightly pale face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together.
He slowly placed the poured tea in front of Ye Fan and Ning Xi. Without answering, he pointed at the tea cup and said: "Come, taste the tea first. I heard you were coming, so I took out the treasure I had collected.
."
Disappointment flashed across Ning Xi's face.
On the other hand, Ye Fan was extremely calm and his expression did not change at all. As long as there was no clear rejection, it proved that there was still room for negotiation. Since there was room for negotiation, there was no need to rush.
He glanced at the tea in the cup, brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, finally took a sip, moved the tip of his tongue slightly, and put down the cup after a few seconds.
Look, smell, taste; everything is available!
Gu Yun's eyes were filled with surprise. Ye Fan's tea-tasting movements were very standard. It was hard to imagine that a young man could still understand this.
"Have you tasted what kind of tea this is?"
"Superior Longjing." Ye Fan gave four words.
"oh?"
Guyun picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked loudly: "Why do you say this is Longjing?"
Ye Fan smiled confidently, pointed to the tea leaves in the cup, and talked eloquently: "The appearance is flat and tall, the color is green, and the inner quality is fragrant and mellow. When soaked in the cup, the buds and leaves are green; the characteristics of Longjing tea are fragrant and mellow leaves.
, it is not a strong taste, it should be savored carefully and sipped slowly.”
"Just now, the boy tasted its fragrance and its charm; the taste is fresh and mellow, and the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth. The fragrance is not strong, light, but refreshing. With so many characteristics, the answer has already surfaced."
Tasting tea?
What a coincidence, he really understands this.
In the last life, in order to accompany various customers, he put a lot of effort into tea tasting. I can't say that he can taste all the teas in one sitting, but he can also taste some famous teas like Longjing.
, he actually didn’t even use the product and could only rely on his sense of smell to determine it.
But that was a bit too high-profile, so Ye Fan just took a small sip specifically to make it look more natural.
Both Ning Xi and Gu Ziyi opened their eyes wide after hearing what Mark said.
"Pa bang..."
Gu Yun clapped his hands with a rather sad expression, "I didn't expect that at such a young age, you would have such a profound knowledge of tea. It's really rare, rare!"
"Teacher Gu, thanks."
There was no pride on Ye Fan's face, he responded calmly, and then remained silent.
The atmosphere in the living room fell into silence.
After about ten seconds, Gu Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Xi, and an old voice sounded.
Chapter completed!
