Chapter: 5649

"'Leaf Dashi's brother need not be formal.'" Lin Wan'er said, a hint of embarrassment creeping into her voice. "Only Lin Wan'er calculated everything, but didn't calculate that Leaf Dashi would appear when I was bathing..."

Leaf Dashi thought back, his heart feeling a bit awkward.

He then changed the subject, questioning suspiciously: "Ah, you have no spiritual power, why couldn't I erase your memories on that day in North Europe?"

Lin Wan'er let out a sigh: "Ah... this is going to be a long story."

After speaking, she noticed Leaf Dashi's lips were parched and dry, still swallowing mouthwatering saliva, so she hurriedly asked: "Leaf Dashi's brother must be thirsty, right?"

Leaf Dashi nodded lightly.

Lin Wan'er chuckled and said: "Just in time, Lin Wan'er has left over the last piece of Pu'er tea cake, which I've been holding onto until one day I can personally brew it for Leaf Dashi to taste. Leaf Dashi's brother, wait just a moment!"

Leaf Dashi hastily said: "Lin Miss need not trouble herself so much, just pour me a cup of water."

Lin Wan'er stood up and turned away, saying: "The tea cake Lin Wan'er is saving is the best in this world. If Leaf Dashi's brother doesn't taste it, he will definitely regret it later!"

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "Besides, everything Leaf Dashi's brother is curious about will start with that tea cake."

After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Leaf Dashi to respond and quickly got her entire set of tea utensils as well as the piece of Pu'er tea cake that had been treasured for a long time.

Returning to the bedside table, Lin Wan'er carefully lit the charcoal in the copper pot using orange-scented wood chips. She then seized the opportunity to open the Pu'er tea cake while the water was boiling, using a beautiful Pu'er tea knife to pry it open into one piece.

As soon as the tea leaves were opened, Leaf Dashi caught a whiff of a special tea aroma he had never experienced before.

This tea aroma was incredibly rich and fragrant, with a long history of fermentation and storage that gave the cake itself a unique flavor that was difficult to describe in words. It left him feeling carefree and at ease.

Leaf Dashi had grown up watching his father drink tea and occasionally joined in for a cup or two. So he had some knowledge about tea leaves. However, he had never seen such special tea leaves before. He could say without exaggeration that all Pu'er tea paled in comparison to this piece of cake!

Lin Wan'er brewed the tea with elegance, pouring the tea leaves into the water, which quickly released its fragrance after coming into contact with high temperatures. The aroma hit Leaf Dashi's nose and made him feel like his mind was cleared by the tea flavor.

Immediately, Lin Wan'er poured the brewed tea into a small cup, then handed it to Leaf Dashi with a smile, saying, "Leaf Dashi brother, go ahead and take a look."

Leaf Dashi took the cup, held it under his nose to smell it lightly, and then sipped a little. The flavor of the tea was incredibly rich and sweet, perfectly combining the senses of smell and taste, leaving Leaf Dashi astonished with widened eyes.

He couldn't help but sigh: "This tea really is too perfect, far surpassing my understanding of Pu'er tea. I dare ask Miss Lin, where did this amazing tea come from?"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "Leaf Dashi brother, this cake is a 300-year-old tea made from the leaves of the ancient Pu'er tree known as 'Pu Tea Mother'. It's the mother tree of all Pu'er tea, with all Pu'er tea produced through its branches. The earliest farmers would cut off its branches, carry them to different places, and replant them to produce new tea plants."

Leaf Dashi exclaimed in surprise, "This tea leaf has a three-hundred-year history?" Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "Absolutely true. However, this tree was struck by lightning three hundred years ago and turned into charcoal. The tea leaf you're drinking now is its last product from the previous year. Once this tea is gone, there will be no similar flavor in the world again."

Leaf Dashi curiously asked, "Is that story what someone told you?"

"No," Lin Wan'er replied lightly, shaking her head and turning to take out a small package. She carefully opened it, revealing a piece of ancient lightning wood inside.

Lin Wan'er took out the lightning wood and said in a low tone, "Any living being lives for long enough will have its own fate. The same applies to those who cultivate themselves and this tree as well. It lived for tens of thousands of years, nurtured countless tea plants, but it also has its own fate to overcome."

Leaf Dashi asked suspiciously, "Why do you know so clearly?" JrNovels.com
