Squirrel was taken aback as he flicked his tail and pointed at himself. “Me? Answer questions?”

Boss Qian nodded and said, “Yes, you do the answering!”

It was Squirrel’s first time being One Finger Monastery’s spokesperson. He immediately felt a little excited as he pointed at himself excitedly and asked, “Then what should I answer?”

Many people were extremely entranced by this little guy’s cuteness as they took pictures of him.

There were also people who were worried that Squirrel would be bullied. They increasingly found Boss Qian annoying.

Boss Qian ignored them. Instead, he raised the same question again. “You guys tricked us here with advertisements, but you’re not selling tea. What’s the meaning of this? There’s been so many people waiting at the entrance for so long, yet you’re saying that you’re not selling anything? This is deceit, do you understand?”

Boss Qian spoke with great aplomb. At the very least, he had confidence against a small squirrel.

However…

Squirrel widened his adorable eyes and asked, “What advertisement?”

Boss Qian: “…”

Pfft!

Quite a number of people started to burst out with laughter. This conversation… was too freaking adorable!

Boss Qian stared intently at Squirrel. After confirming that the little guy wasn’t pulling a fast one, he said, “You ran advertisements on television, claiming to have the best Frost Bamboo tea. Don’t you know?”

Squirrel decisively shook his head in a cute daze. “I don’t know. What’s wrong?”

What’s wrong?

What’s wrong?!

Boss Qian almost went nuts. It was only at this moment that he realized that a fight with someone wasn’t necessarily through fists. The most devastating thing was to punch out with full strength only to hit air. It was all a waste of effort and exasperating!

Boss Qian said, “You lied to us. You ran advertisements saying that the tea is good. Now we are here, but you say there’s no tea. Do you get it? This is deceit!”

Squirrel scratched his head. “Deceit? Our tea is good. It’s really good, but why are you here? Did the advertisement say the tea is for sale?”

Boss Qian: “…”

Upon hearing Squirrel’s words, Boss Qian’s eyes nearly popped out. F**k… Is it just being innocent or freaking conniving? These questions were practically killing him!

“Haha…” Song Ming couldn’t hold it in any longer. She held her abdomen and laughed out loud.

The others laughed along with her…

At that moment, Boss Qian felt that he was a complete fool!

Looking at the adorable squirrel, he felt that it was more cunning than the monkey!

Boss Qian waved his hand and said, “Alright, you may leave.”

Squirrel left with a baffled expression.

Seeing that everyone was still laughing, Boss Qian glared at them one by one. Everyone held back their laughter.

Boss Qian rolled his eyes and said, “Alright, since the abbot has said that we’ve come for nothing, we should leave. There’s no tea. I’ve said that the advertisement was all lies. It’s just a way of exaggeration. Frost Bamboo tea? This is the first time I’ve heard that bamboo leaves can be used as tea. Isn’t this nonsense?”

When everyone heard that, they suddenly remembered that they had no chance of getting the tea leaves.

All of them felt resentment. However, since the other party refused to sell or give them the tea, there was no point in them staying.

Hence, everyone began preparing to leave.

At this moment, a faint fragrance drifted over…

Everyone was a tea expert. Their sense of smell, especially towards the smell of tea, were excellent. They could tell the quality just by their sense of smell.

Hence, everyone stopped instinctively…

“What smell is this?” someone exclaimed.

Tang Chen said in surprise, “What a strange aroma. It’s different from ordinary tea leaves. This seems to be the unique fragrance of bamboo! What tea is this?”

Song Ming’s eyes lit up as she said, “It’s fragrant. It doesn’t smell heavy. It’s a refreshing fragrance that reaches the lungs… But where is this fragrance from?There’s no one drinking tea nearby.”

Muddle Tang said, “This tea is fragrant but not thick, yet the wind doesn’t dissipate. This is truly unheard of.”

When Song Ming heard Muddle Tang’s words, he immediately noticed this crucial point.

In the wintry Northeast China, the northwest winds kept blowing. Logically speaking, any fragrance would be dispersed by such strong winds.

However, this faint fragrance seemed to ignore the presence of the wind. It wafted across everyone’s noses and reached deep into their bones.

Boss Jia praised as well. “Good tea, such good tea! It whets the appetite from just a sniff. It has hooked my cravings. If only I could taste it… Slurp…”

Boss Jia really drooled.

While everyone was exclaiming in praise, Boss Qian’s eyes were dark. Clearly, his motive was different from the others. At least, it wasn’t that simple.

Just as everyone was reeling in amazement, they saw a salted fish carrying a big bowl. The big bowl was steaming hot and there were green leaves that looked like jade floating on the surface. Under the sun’s rays, the leaves became even more crystalline. It lit up everyone’s eyes.

Everyone subconsciously surrounded him and looked at the tea leaves carefully. All of them exclaimed, “Top-grade Frost Bamboo tea!”

“This is really top-grade Frost Bamboo tea!”

“The advertisement wasn’t a lie. Frost Bamboo tea really exists!”

“This aroma, it smells so good!”

“It smells even better closeup!”

“Eh? What utensil is that for the brewing of tea? Why haven’t I seen it before?”

“Pui! That’s no utensil! It’s just a big tea bowl. The water used is just plain water!”

“This… No way! What a waste of a treasure!”

…

When Salted Fish heard that, he rolled his eyes at them and said, “It’s just for drinking. What’s there to waste? All of us drink it like that.”

“That’s because you don’t understand the Way of Tea!”

“That’s right. This tea should be brewed with the best Purple Sand teapot!”

“The Frost Bamboo is Yin in nature, so it should be soaked with Yang-type water! Only then can it stimulate its excellent taste!”

“Stop talking. I’m salivating just thinking about it.”

“If I taste this tea, tsk…”

Gulp…

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, Salted Fish raised his head and took a huge gulp. The sound of gulp made everyone’s heart bleed.

An old man beat his chest and shouted at Salted Fish, “What a waste of good things!”

Song Ming also said, “This is not how you drink tea.”

Tang Chen added, “Didn’t you say that the production of this tea isn’t high; yet, you drink it like this. It really… pains me!”

Boss Jia added, “Venerable Salted Fish, don’t waste good stuff. Look, how much is this bowl of tea? Can I buy it?”

Once Boss Jia spoke, someone immediately shouted, “I’ll pay a thousand!”

Boss Jia panicked when he heard that. He immediately said, “I’ll offer two thousand!”

“10,000!”

“15,000!”

“That’s tea that’s even more precious than the Da Hong Pao tea. It’s priceless; is that all you are bidding? Are you bullying an old ancestor like me for not knowing numbers?” Salted Fish rolled his eyes at them and tipped his head. He finished the large bowl of tea in one gulp as everyone watched with disbelief, pain, and rage!
