Chapter 262 – Three Men Talking

“Mr. Xu, please take a seat.” Fan Chengxu invited Wei Ruo to take a seat.

Wei Ruo then sat down in that seat.

Before taking her seat, Wei Ruo did not specifically greet or salute Chu Lan. Her current identity was Xu Wo right, Xu Wo right did not know the seventh prince, so before Chu Lan took the initiative to show his identity, it was the right choice for her not to salute.

“You don’t recognize me?”

Wei Ruo had just sat down when Chu Lan’s inquiring voice rang out.

Wei Ruo’s heart shook once again, and that bad guess was almost completely confirmed.

“Who is this gentleman?” Wei Ruo inquired with feigned confusion.

“Chu Zongyu.” Chu Lan said.

“So this is what Mr. Zhu looks like.” Wei Ruo pretended to be surprised.

“Thanks to you, my face is barely visible.” Chu Lan said.

There were still very light scars on Chu Lan’s face now, but they weren’t very visible if he was far away.

“If Mr. Zhu uses another half a year, the rest of these traces should be eliminated.” Wei Ruo replied, trying as much as possible to act normal and not show any cracks.

At this moment, Wei Ruo’s heart only had one thought, she couldn’t let Chu Lan discover her true identity.

“Uh-huh. When the medicine runs out in a few days, I’ll have to trouble Mr. Xu again to prepare some medicine for me.” Chu Lan said.

“I will prepare and put it in the manor at that time, Mr. Zhu will just send someone to the manor to pick it up at that time as before.” Wei Ruo said.

It’s best not to meet if you can.

“Good.” Then Chu Lan asked Wei Ruo, “You want to talk business with Brother Qing Yuan?”

“Yes.”

Wei Ruo avoided Chu Lan’s gaze that was projected over, at this time there was some nostalgia for the time when he wore a bucket hat and the veil covered his eyes, at least he didn’t have to face the gaze that he was looking at him directly.

“If there’s anything I can do to help you, just ask, I owe you for saving my life, let me pay back some of it when I get the chance.”

“Mr. Zhu doesn’t have to be so polite, I am treating Mr. Zhu for the consultation fee, so Mr. Zhu doesn’t have to take it to heart.” Wei Ruo hurriedly explained.

In the beginning, if she had known that he was Chu Lan, she would definitely not have saved!

Hearing this Chu Lan’s gaze sank slightly, everyone else was trying as much as possible to make their behavior of saving people selfless and noble, while Xu Heyuu preferred to go in the opposite direction, and every time he mentioned it, he had to say that he was doing it for the sake of money.

Chu Lan didn’t know if he was really such a man of nature, or if he was only so to him.

Seeing that the two mentioned themselves, Fan Chengxu interjected at the right time; ”Mr. Xu, since you met with Brother Zong Yu today, why don’t you help to take a look at Brother Zong Yu’s injuries along the way, he just suffered some injuries a few days ago, and hasn’t recovered fully even a few days have passed.”

Chu Lan died somewhere else Fan Chengxu did not care much, but dying in his place is not.

Wei Ruo was not surprised that Chu Lan was injured, that battle had heavy casualties and Chu Lan was involved in it.

But Wei Ruo didn’t want to treat Chu Lan’s injuries again, so she excused herself and said, “Nowadays, Mr. Chu should have a highly skilled doctor by his side to treat his injuries, so I won’t show off my skills.”

“How can we say that it’s a show-off? We’ve all witnessed Mr. Xu’s medical skills, when Mr. Zhu was seriously injured, Mr. Xu saved him. Later on, when the disease broke out in the city and almost spread, it was also thanks to Mr. Xu that the disease was finally contained within the city and did not result in a large-scale plague. With such medical skills, who can say that Mr. Xu is just showing off his skills?” ….

Fan Chengxu was busy touting Wei Ruo’s medical skills. In order to ensure that Chu Lan’s body was unharmed, he had also gone to great lengths.

Wei Ruo secretly cursed the talkative Fan Cheng Xu several times in her heart, yet her face remained unchanged, unable to let the two people in front of her see a break.

Then Wei Ruo once again excused herself and said, “Mr. Zhu is looking rosy now, so I think he is no longer in any serious trouble.”

Chu Lan followed suit, ”I’m no longer in any serious trouble, so I won’t trouble Mr. Xu.”

Chu Lan in his heart did not want to trouble Xu Wo right again, did not want to always be in a state where Xu Wo right owed favors and was saved by Xu Wo right.

He’s a proud man at heart.

He didn’t like to always be in a weak position in front of Xu Heyuan, and he didn’t want to be in Xu Heyuan’s impression that he was always a person who needed to be taken care of.

Fan Chengxu thought to himself, dare he be the only one to be nosy?

Immediately after that, Fan Chengxu heard Chu Lan open his mouth and say to him, “Isn’t Brother Qingyuan going to talk business with Mr. Xu?”

“Yes.” Fan Chengxu had a smile on his face, but in his heart he was muttering, clearly it is you who want to see Xu Worui, why do you have to shift the blame to me?

It was just a matter of time, and he did have something to talk to Xu Heyu.

Then Fan Chengxu asked Wei Ruo, “Why did Mr. Xu propose to let the tea leaves picked today be spread out in a dustpan? Tea leaves should be picked and stir-fried quickly as the best, if they are left for a long time, the tea leaves will not be fresh and the color and flavor of the stir-fried tea will be affected.”

“I don’t intend to fry the tea leaves directly.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Not going to fry it?” Fan Chengxu wondered, “Then what are you going to do with the tea.”

“I plan to ferment the tea.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Fermentation?”

Fan Chengxu was a bit surprised.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo with the same probing and curious eyes.

“Yes, just like making wine from grain or soy sauce from soybeans, after a period of fermentation, the taste of the crops will change.” Wei Ruo explained.

Wei Ruo’s statement made Fan Chengxu feel very novel, it was the first time he had heard that tea could also be fermented.

“Do you think the flavor of fermented tea leaves will be better than direct frying?” Fan Chengxu inquired again.

“That’s not easy to say, I can only say that fried tea and fermented tea are two different flavors. Nowadays, these tea leaves in the tea garden with the traditional means of frying can no longer be sold at a high price, how about a different way, a different flavor, there may be unexpected effects and harvests?” Wei Ruo said.

“Interesting, interesting, I’d like to see what this tea will be like after fermentation.” Fan Chengxu’s tone was filled with anticipation.

Wei Ruo continued, “If you want to ferment, there are a few more processes to follow, I’ll write them down on paper in a moment, and I’ll also ask Boss Fan to instruct the people in the tea garden to follow them.”

“Good, whatever you want to do, the people in the tea garden will do.” Fan Chengxu turned his head to Boss Shen again and said, “What Mr. Xu wants to do back there you do what he says, there’s no need to come and ask me for instructions, since I said I want to cooperate with Mr. Xu, that means I believe in Mr. Xu.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.” Boss Shen busily answered.

Immediately after that, Fan Chengxu ordered someone to bring paper and pen, placing them in front of Wei Ruo, making it convenient for her to write down the next process of handling the tea leaves.

Wei Ruo didn’t take a pen, but said to Fan Chengxu, “I can’t read much, so why don’t I read it, and Boss Fan will write it for me.”

Hearing this, Fan Chengxu was surprised and said, “Mr. Xu doesn’t know much about words?” .
