Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

When everyone in the courtyard realized there was no more excitement to be had, they all dispersed.

Wang Feng returned to the house and checked the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and Qin Jingru would be back soon.

He went directly into the ten-times-faster-time zone, took out the iron wok for frying tea and various other tools, and prepared to start frying the tea.

With a wave of his hand, tea leaves fell from the tea tree into the bamboo basket.

With a thought, the tea leaves were instantly dehydrated. The iron wok was heated to 150 degrees Celsius. After all the preparations were completed, the tea leaves were poured into the wok.

Stir-fry the tea leaves quickly with a tea fork. The movements must be fast, even, and thorough, ensuring that every tea leaf comes into contact with the bottom of the pan.

After more than an hour of complicated steps, Wang Feng finally finished frying the tea leaves.

He picked up the tea leaves and smelled them. A rich aroma wafted over him, and Wang Feng was certain that these tea leaves were much better than the West Lake Longjing tea that Lou Bancheng had given him.

Wang Feng carefully packed the tea leaves into five ceramic jars and sealed them. The total weight of the tea leaves produced this time was about two and a half pounds.

During this period, Wang Feng did not use the Water of Life to water the tea tree, but the tea tree has grown quite a bit. It is now more than three meters tall, and the tea leaves are about half again as many as before.

Once outside the space, Wang Feng couldn't wait to take out the ceramic jar, eager to taste the tea.

I spent more than an hour in the space with ten times the time travel, but only about ten minutes have passed in reality.

Just as Wang Feng boiled the water to make tea, Qin Jingru returned to the courtyard.

"Brother Wang Feng, would you like some tea? Let me make it for you."

Qin Jingru took the ceramic jar, took out the tea leaves, and prepared to brew the tea.

"Hey, this tea doesn't seem to be a gift from Goose's dad, does it? It smells so good, and the quality is so good too. Brother Wang Feng, where did you buy this tea?"

Wang Feng smiled and shook his head: "Jingru, make me a cup to try first, and you should pour yourself a cup to try too."

"Um."

Qin Jingru put the tea leaves into the teapot and poured in boiling water. Soon, a rich and refreshing fragrance wafted into their nostrils.

Upon smelling the fragrance, Wang Feng felt refreshed and his mind seemed to clear up.

Eagerly, Wang Feng asked Qin Jingru to pour him a cup of tea. He took a small sip, closed his eyes, and immediately felt a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, a sense of comfort throughout his body, and a clearer mind.

Just as Wang Feng had expected, the tea leaves irrigated with the water of life were indeed extraordinary; they were absolutely the finest tea leaves.

"Is it really that amazing?"

Qin Jingru poured herself a cup of tea, blew on it to make it cool enough to drink, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Soon, Qin Jingru felt the rich aroma of tea enter her nose. After drinking the tea, she felt a sweet taste in her mouth, and her body felt much lighter and more energetic.

Wang Feng drank three pots of tea in a row. He could clearly feel a faint warm current flowing into his body. He was certain that if he drank this tea regularly, it could slowly improve his physical condition.

Qin Jingru also drank several cups of tea. She doesn't usually drink tea, but she liked this tea today.

"Brother Wang Feng, this tea is really delicious. After drinking a few cups, I feel much more energetic than before."

"If you like it, drink more. Don't worry, there's plenty of tea. But this isn't ordinary tea, so don't give it to anyone else, understand?" Wang Feng instructed.

Qin Jingru nodded: "Brother Wang Feng, don't worry. This tea must be expensive, right? Would I be that stupid as to give such good tea to outsiders?"

"By the way, Brother Wang Feng, I heard from Aunt Wu that Xu Damao beat up Sha Zhu just now, and even knocked him unconscious so he had to go to the hospital?"

"Hehe, Jingru, your information network is quite impressive. You already know about something that just happened," Wang Feng said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Wang Feng, I just like watching the excitement. You know that, and Aunt Wu knows my personality too. She tells me everything that happens in the yard."

"Brother Wang Feng, why is Xu Damao so amazing today? Wasn't he always getting beaten up by Sha Zhu before? How come he's the one getting beaten up today?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

"Shazhu was injured and hospitalized before, so he must still be injured, which is why he couldn't beat Xu Damao," Wang Feng explained.

"Oh, no wonder."

"Jingru, put this can of tea in the cabinet and brew me another pot of tea."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng, please wait a moment."

Qin Jingru put the tea leaves into the cabinet and hid them, then changed the tea leaves for Wang Feng and brewed another pot of tea.

As Wang Feng sipped his tea, he secretly thought to himself that he owed Li Huaide a huge favor. He could either give him half a pound of tea leaves to repay the favor, or he would keep asking Li Huaide for help after drinking the tea.

Drinking this tea does not have any obvious effect on the body, but it does have a relatively obvious effect on refreshing the mind. However, this effect is not very remarkable. Some teas on the market also have the effect of refreshing the mind, but they are not as obvious.

If you drink this tea regularly, it can slowly improve your physical condition. Or you can give half a catty to Li Huaide. If he asks for more later, just say you bought it on the black market. Anyway, it's impossible for him to take out a large quantity of this kind of tea.

As for giving Li Huaide the Water of Life, Wang Feng never even considered it. This thing was definitely a bomb. Once the higher-ups found out about its existence, they would definitely use all sorts of moral blackmail to force him to hand it over.

After drinking three more pots of tea, Wang Feng moved his recliner to the doorway, where he drank tea, smoked, and read a novel.

......

5:30 p.m.

With the help of an older woman, Sha Zhu returned to the compound.

Sha Zhu's wound reopened. He was supposed to be able to go back to work after two days of rest, but now he has to stay home for another week.

Meanwhile, people in the courtyard gradually returned home after get off work.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard, he heard an old woman say that Sha Zhu had been beaten by Xu Damao, and that Xu Damao had even broken the stitches in Sha Zhu's wound. This made him so angry that his face turned black.

He'll have to rely on Sha Zhu for his old age. Now that Sha Zhu has been beaten up like this, how can he not stand up for Sha Zhu?

With a wave of his hand, he instructed Liu Guangtian to notify everyone in the institute to hold a general meeting.

Unfortunately, Liu Guangtian wouldn't listen to him, and Yi Zhonghai couldn't find anyone to do anything with. Helpless, he had to say a lot of nice things to Liu Haizhong, and only then did Liu Haizhong instruct Liu Guangtian to inform the people in the courtyard.

"A hospital-wide meeting is being held! A hospital-wide meeting is being held!"

Qin Jingru was cooking in the kitchen when she heard that a hospital-wide meeting was going to be held. She took the pot off the stove and ignored it.

He quickly grabbed a long bench, went outside, and pulled Wang Feng along to try and get a good spot.

"Brother Wang Feng, hurry up, the whole college is having a meeting, there's going to be some excitement."

"Hehe, let's go check out the excitement," Wang Feng said with a laugh.

The two arrived at the scene of the general meeting of the whole courtyard. The eight-immortal table had just been carried out from Sha Zhu's house, and the other people in the courtyard came over one after another.

Qin Jingru placed a stool at the front and pulled Wang Feng to sit down, ready to watch the show.
