Si Ning wanted to jump right into the discussion about his army but he knew he had to exercise patience to avoid looking like he had been expecting Shao Lang to come and visit him or he needed his advice so he had to wait and folded his hands to avoid tapping the table while he stares at the tea Shao Lang was brewing like it was the most interesting thing to watch, he watched how Shao Lang poured it in the two teacups, placed one in front of Si Ning and the other in front of him.
Si Ning took his cup and took a sip. It tasted nice that he nodded in approval. "This tastes nice." He said.
"Thank you, General Si Ning, I would have love to bring some of the green tea leaves planted in the Shao's farm which I tended to myself." Shao Lang said as he took a sip of his tea. "I planted the trees myself."
