BXBX NOVEL Chapter 492 - 492: Barely
The quality of this tea tree was especially poor. It was for people who came to pick tea for the first time to get a feel.
Le Yao was experienced, so she quickly got used to it. Uncle Cai nodded. “Girl, are you interested in learning how to make tea from me?”
“Huh?” Le Yao was stunned. This was too unexpected.
“Huh what? Isn’t it just a simple yes or no question? Is it very difficult to answer?” Uncle Cai glared.
“Do you think I accept just anyone? Even celebrities are useless in my craft.”
“Uncle, I’m not a celebrity.” Le Yao hurriedly shook her head. “I’m a university student now. Besides, I like to make food. Tea leaves are also a part of my ingredients. I’ve made a lot of food with tea leaves.”
“Really? Then what have you made?”
“Tea eggs.”
After being stunned for a moment, Uncle Cai suddenly laughed heartily. “Haha, you silly girl…” Le Yao spread her hands. She was right. She didn’t know why it was so funny to the old man.
“Then do you want to learn from me?”
“Yes.” Le Yao nodded. “However, Uncle, we can’t be careless with this apprenticeship. There has to be a ceremony and my parents have to come over to visit you…” She subconsciously used a respectful title.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I’m not established here. If you want to learn, just call me Master.”
“Then I have to prepare a gift too. I can’t be rash.” Le Yao shook her head. “Master, you have to wait for me for at least a day. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to you.”
“Alright.” Uncle Cai waved his hand. “I’ll give you one day.”
In the end, this scene was live broadcasted, causing a heated discussion among the netizens.
However, most of them praised Le Yao for being outstanding. Of course, there were also people who complained about Anna being pretentious.
However, Le Yao did not know any of this. She learned how to pick tea leaves even more seriously. The atmosphere between the prospective master and disciple was quite harmonious.
When Anna arrived at the tea garden, she saw this scene from afar. Her eyes could not help but narrow, but she quickly smiled and walked over. “Uncle Cai, can I do it now?”
Uncle Cai glanced at Anna and nodded. “Barely.”
Anna almost vomited.
“Alright, stop standing there. Time is a little tight. Hurry up,” Uncle Cai called out. “Come over and practice your basic techniques first.” Then, he looked at Le Yao. “Go up and pick those on top. You have to pick a basket full before four in the afternoon to complete the mission.”
“Okay.” Le Yao climbed up the hill and began the official task of picking tea leaves.
Anna frowned, but she was not in a hurry. Instead, she started learning seriously.
Although he was dissatisfied with this girl’s nails, seeing that her attitude was not bad, Uncle Cai did not say anything else. He also told her some things to take note of and taught her step by step what to pick and what not to touch. Then, he let her pick on her own.
Anna was actually very impatient, but for the sake of the mission, she had no choice but to endure it.
She had learned quite well, but occasionally, she would pick some who were too old or too tender. Fortunately, slowly, there were fewer and fewer mistakes.
“So so.” Although Uncle Cai was dissatisfied, he couldn’t be harsh. After all, she was here to do a show, so he let her go up and officially start picking the leaves..
