At home, after breakfast, Lin Yi originally planned to go to the antique market to find some treasures, but Empress Dowager Ye did not allow it.
In the end, Lin Yi could only return to his room to study.
When he arrived at the office, Father Lin looked at the remaining half a tin of tea leaves and could not help but sigh, "Cooking the tea eggs used almost a kilogram of tea leaves. This is really something…"
In fact, there was something he did not tell Empress Dowager Ye. This tin of tea leaves did not only cost $400 but $1,400.
However, he was afraid of being scolded by his wife, so he did not say much. This was also the reason why Father Lin's heart ached so much.
After all, this $1,000 had been painstakingly saved by him!
"Sigh, forget it. I'll just put it in a small box."
For safety's sake, Father Lin simply used a small wooden box he bought online to store a small portion of tea leaves. It was enough for him to drink for half a month. When he finished drinking, he could just replenish it.
Just as he took out the tea leaves from the large tin, Father Lin felt that something was wrong. Why did this tea look different from yesterday?
Why did this color look brighter than yesterday? Also, this fragrance seemed to be different?
As he packed, he was extremely puzzled. After storing this small wooden box, Father Lin sealed the large barrel of tea leaves and placed it in the cabinet of his office.
He picked up the small tea box again and looked at it. Then, he pinched out a few pieces and placed them in his teacup to fill it with water.
Although Father Lin liked to drink tea and knew a lot, he was only a group leader after all. To put it bluntly, he had not reached the level of setting up a tea set in the office.
Therefore, Father Lin usually used his purple clay teacup to brew it.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just as Father Lin covered the cup, the office door was knocked from outside. Before he could shout for him to enter, the door was pushed open.
Immediately after, an energetic little old man walked in unhurriedly.
"Haha, you're here so early, Little Lin."
When he saw who it was, Father Lin hurriedly stood up to welcome him with a smile.
"Oh, President Chen, why are you here personally? If you have any instructions, just call me."
This little old man was not anyone else but the current leader here, the factory director, Chen Tianpeng.
Although Father Lin was already 40 years old, he could still be called Little Lin in front of Chen Tianpeng. After all, the little old man was about to retire.
Speaking of this Chen Tianpeng, the little old man was very strict and responsible. In the decades he had been in charge, there was almost not a day when he did not come to the factory.
Recently, because Chen Tianpeng had something to deal with here, he would come to the factory an hour early every day. Every time he walked into the factory an hour early, he would discover Father Lin.
Today, as usual, when his car entered the factory, he saw Father Lin riding an electric scooter in front.
Although this old man was usually very strict, he liked hardworking people like Father Lin the most. Compared to the group of higher-ups under him who were waiting to retire, Father Lin's work attitude was even more impeccable.
Half a month ago, Chen Tianpeng had been wondering if he should give Father Lin a promotion.
Chen Tianpeng waved his hand at Father Lin who came over and said with a smile, "When I just entered the factory, I saw you in front of me, so I passed by and came to take a look."
As they spoke, the two of them chatted on the sofa.
After chatting for a while, Chen Tianpeng suddenly sniffed and asked in confusion, "Eh? Little Lin, did you make tea? Let me smell it later. If I'm not wrong, it should be Dragon Well Tea! Hmm, this smell is very good! Haha, if you don't mind, can you treat me to a drink?"
Hearing Chen Tianpeng's words, Father Lin immediately slapped his forehead. He stood up with an embarrassed expression and took the tea leaves.
"Oh, look at me. When I saw you, I was so excited that I forgot about this. It's my fault. Coincidentally, I took out some good tea leaves and even said that I would send some to you. It saved me from going over, haha."
No matter what, Father Lin had been in the factory for more than ten years. He naturally knew that Chen Tianpeng liked to drink tea.
No matter where he was, every time Father Lin saw Chen Tianpeng, he would see him holding a large teacup. In fact, half of Father Lin's habit of drinking tea was because of him.
Hearing Father Lin's words, Chen Tianpeng did not stand on ceremony. He smiled and handed the teacup in his hand over.
"Haha, I can smell it. Your tea leaves smell better than mine. Come, pour me out and let me try yours."
A moment later, Chen Tianpeng held his large teacup to his nose and smelled the refreshing fragrance. He looked at the tender shoots spreading in the water and could not help but praise the good tea!
After taking a sip, the fragrance lingered.
"Yes, good tea! Good tea! Your tea is much better than mine. It's not cheap, right?"
He looked at the small box of tea leaves placed in front of him by Father Lin. Chen Tianpeng was envious, but he did not accept it directly. Instead, he asked.
After all, if it was too precious, he would not want it.
Hearing this, Father Lin smiled and waved his hand.
"Sigh, how can I afford to drink tea that's too expensive? I just bought it yesterday. It's $1,400 a tin."
As soon as he said this, Chen Tianpeng almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
$1,400 a tin? He glanced at the tea tin in front of him. This tin only contained one or two taels of leaves!
In other words, $1,400 per tael! This was not expensive??
Even if he liked tea leaves so much, the most expensive one was only one or two hundred dollars per tael.
Seeing this, Chen Tianpeng smiled helplessly.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect your family to be so rich. Alright, I've already drunk the tea. I'll go back first. I won't take this tea. After all, it's quite expensive."
After saying that, Chen Tianpeng prepared to stand up and leave. At the same time, he was more or less disappointed in Father Lin. After all, with his current income of $5,000 a month, it was a little impractical to spend $1,400 per tael on tea to drink.
Seeing this, Father Lin was stunned. They had just started drinking tea, so why was he suddenly leaving?
However, Father Lin's mind was very sharp. After seeing Chen Tianpeng's gaze, he immediately understood that the other party might have misunderstood. Therefore, he hurriedly smiled awkwardly and explained, "Cough, don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about this tin…"
After saying that, Father Lin hurriedly stood up and walked to the cabinet. He reached out and picked up the 1.5-kilogram tea tin.
