Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Personally, I think the food here at Xiao Zhou’s place is the most satisfying,” Xiao Yang said, patting his round belly with some emotion.

Old Master Xiao, who was sitting aside, gave him a disdainful glance and said, “Humph, you little brat, daring to snatch meat from the old man just now. I think you need some serious training!”

His gaze then shifted towards Xiao Zhong, who was concentrating on his tea.

Feeling the pressure from his elders, Xiao Zhong set down his cup and cleared his throat. “Xiao Yang, I think your grandfather is right. In a few days, I’ll talk to your boss. You’ll take half a month off for some training.”

“Dad, Grandpa, are you kidding me? Is this just a prank?” Xiao Yang’s resolute face was now filled with pleading, hoping that what they said was untrue.

“Humph, now you’re scared. This matter is settled. I’ll make the call myself!” Old Master Xiao snorted lightly, his face showing a hint of seriousness.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xiao Yang slapped his thigh harshly. “Oh no, why did I say so much? Now I’m in trouble!”

Jiang Li, who was sitting beside them and watching the family squabble, couldn’t help but laugh, covering her mouth.

“What are you guys talking about? You seem so happy. I could hear Xiao Yang’s yelling from afar!” Zhou Chao descended the stairs.

After dinner, he had tidied up the study upstairs in preparation for the discussion later.

“Hahaha, Brother Chao, you missed a good show just now. It was so funny!” Jiang Li chuckled.

Zhou Chao was a bit puzzled, but when he saw Xiao Yang’s desolate look, he guessed that he was the victim.

“Gentlemen, the study is ready. Shall we go upstairs?” Zhou Chao didn’t want to rub salt in Xiao Yang’s wound any further, so he changed the subject.

“Sure, it’s quite cold today. Let’s settle this quickly and go home to sleep!” Old Master Jiang shook his body and gave a meaningful glance to Old Master Xiao, then stood up from the sofa.

“You can watch TV downstairs. We’ll be done soon!” Zhou Chao affectionately ruffled Jiang Li’s head.

“Got it, you go ahead!” Jiang Li squinted, enjoying Zhou Chao’s touch. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Seeing Jiang Li’s joyful expression, Zhou Chao suddenly leaned down and planted a surprise kiss on her lips before quickly jogging up the stairs.

“You rascal,” Jiang Li muttered with a smile.

Fortunately, Zhou Chao’s tea table was quite spacious, with plenty of room for six people to sit comfortably.

Watching Zhou Chao’s skillful tea-making, even Old Master Jiang, who had been drinking tea for many years, couldn’t help but admire him.

Smelling the fragrance of the tea, Old Master Xiao and Old Master Jiang exchanged a surprised glance, each detecting a hint of amazement in the other’s eyes.

“Xiao Chao, is this Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao?” Old Master Jiang asked tentatively.

“Yes, authentic Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao!” Zhou Chao chuckled, it seemed the old men could taste the difference.

Xiao Zhong, on the side, somewhat puzzled, said, “Isn’t it just authentic Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao? Grandpa, I’ll have Xiao Yang bring you half a pound tomorrow!”

Old Master Xiao became instantly displeased at this remark. “Isn’t it just authentic Da Hong Pao? Since when did you become so arrogant? Fine, you go ahead and get half a pound of tea just like this. From now on, you can do whatever you want!”

Xiao Zhong was also surprised by his father’s outburst. He looked at Old Master Xiao and then at the tea canister on the table, understanding that there must be some hidden secret he didn’t know about.

Turning to Old Master Jiang for help, he asked, “Grandfather, is there something wrong with this tea?”

As for why he didn’t ask his own father, Old Master Xiao, as a lover of alcohol, asking him or not made little difference.

“Xiao Chao’s Da Hong Pao isn’t just any Da Hong Pao. It should be authentic Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao from the mother tree, and it’s quite fresh, probably made in the last two years.”

Old Master Xiao paused here, looking at Zhou Chao with hesitation for a while before saying, “Xiao Chao, this tea wouldn’t happen to be from someone who gave it to you, would it?”

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their gaze on Zhou Chao, who was pouring tea.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Chao’s lips curled slightly. “Hmm, it was No.1 who asked me to have a chat. I happened to see his large jar of tea, and since he couldn’t finish it himself, I reluctantly helped him out!”

As soon as they heard this, everyone rolled their eyes at Zhou Chao, including the two old masters.

And silently in their hearts, they all muttered, “Young people these days, they have no shame when it comes to showing off!”

“Ahem, Xiao Chao, I’ve been drinking too much lately, so I wanted to change my taste and have some tea for a change. Your tea leaves in this canister looked good, so I’ll reluctantly take it home and drink it!”

Old Master Xiao reached out his hand towards the tea canister containing the authentic Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, a mischievous smile creeping onto his face as he saw the tea almost within his grasp.

But to his surprise, another hand reached for the tea canister first. Old Master Xiao, left empty-handed, looked to see whose hand it was, only to find it was his good friend, Old Master Jiang.
