Chapter 334: Why Don't I Have a Friend Like This?

Lin Chuan's private tea garden was incredibly expansive. Bai Yuanche's tea bushes were planted quite a distance away, and since it was already around five in the afternoon, there wasn't enough time to visit that section today. Ning Fei planned to check on them the next day, settling down in the small villa for the night.

That evening, Lin Chuan prepared a top-tier banquet to entertain Ning Fei and Bai Yi.

The meal took place in the villa's dining room. No one else was present; this was Lin Chuan's private territory.

"Master Ning, I specifically prepared these dishes for you. What do you think?" Lin Chuan asked with a cheerful laugh, acting exceptionally polite.

Hearing Lin Chuan address Ning Fei as a "Master," Bai Yi snickered from the sidelines.

Ning Fei didn't bother to correct him. No matter what he said, the man firmly believed he understood Feng Shui and could read fortunes, so Ning Fei simply gave up trying to explain.

"Thank you, Boss Lin."

Ning Fei politely expressed his gratitude.

The delicacies on the table were indeed valuable. It seemed Lin Chuan had gone to great lengths for this meal.

For a business magnate at Lin Chuan's level, most things could no longer pique his interest. His fascination with fortune-telling, however, was growing deeper by the day.

The more of the world one saw, the more one revered it.

Ning Fei knew Lin Chuan had invited him to dinner just to ask more about destiny and fortune. But since the tea garden was on Lin Chuan's territory, Ning Fei didn't want to make things awkward.

"Master Ning, I've been feeling a bit unwell lately. It feels like something is blocking my chest, but when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctors said nothing was wrong. What exactly is going on?"

Lin Chuan asked again as he ate.

"Boss Lin, you must enjoy eating seafood, especially abalone. Abalone is Yin in nature. Eating too much of it can easily cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang. You just need to cut back on the seafood."

Ning Fei possessed the skill of Acupuncture and understood some medicine. He spotted the problem at a glance and gave his advice.

Hearing Ning Fei's words, Lin Chuan's eyes lit up.

Because Ning Fei was absolutely right.

He truly loved seafood, having it at every meal, and abalone and lobster were his absolute favorites.

Later on, Bai Yi asked Ning Fei how he had figured it out. Ning Fei told her that several dishes on the table were seafood, and Lin Chuan only reached for the lobster and abalone. Even a blind man could have seen it.

Throw in a few spouted nonsense phrases, and the other party wouldn't suspect a thing.

Lin Chuan admired Ning Fei more and more, constantly hoping to get a few pointers from him.

Eventually, Ning Fei claimed that the secrets of heaven could not be leaked without damaging one's lifespan, which finally allowed him to catch a break.

"Tomorrow, as soon as we finish picking the tea leaves, we need to leave. I feel like this guy is getting a bit obsessed,"

Ning Fei said to Bai Yi as they rested that night.

"But brother, I thought everything you said sounded great. You really gave off that 'immortal' vibe,"

Bai Yi said with a smile.

"I was just making it up as I went." Ning Fei waved his hand.

Hearing this, Bai Yi blinked in amazement. She had been watching from the sidelines the whole time Ning Fei was spouting nonsense. His speech and bearing had made him look like a genuine master.

"Brother, it's a shame you aren't an actor. If you played a two-faced royal prince in a historical drama, I'm sure a lot of people would love watching it," Bai Yi said, letting her imagination run wild again.

"Go to sleep," was all Ning Fei said.

Bai Yi chuckled softly, secretly thinking to herself that she had new material for her dreams tonight.

The next morning.

The moment Ning Fei stepped into the tea garden, he started his broadcast.

Countless viewers couldn't wait to flood into Ning Fei's Live-stream Room.

Right away, they were greeted by a breathtaking sight.

On the stream, an endless expanse of green tea bushes cascaded downward layer by layer, like a massive staircase.

In the midst of it all, a few young ethnic minority women could be seen weaving through the tea fields with tea baskets balanced on their heads.

The scene was brimming with exotic ethnic charm, offering an expansive and deeply relaxing feeling.

"So beautiful!"

"Is this the tea garden?"

"I'm from Fujian. Where exactly is this place? How can there be such a gorgeous tea garden here?"

"Also from Fujian. I've visited a few tourist tea gardens before, but I've never seen one this nice."

"There are this many Fujianese people here? Any Guangdong people around? Let's eat the Fujianese together."

The stream's chat instantly bustled with activity.

On this trip out, Ning Fei brought along three little guys: Little Dog, Little Fox, and Little Fei.

Little Dog and Little Fei had already run off without a trace. They had probably never seen such a unique tea garden before and were completely fascinated by it.

Little Fox simply followed silently behind Ning Fei.

"Hello, everyone. This is a private tea garden."

"Today, I'm heading deep into the tea garden to pick tea leaves."

"My master planted these tea bushes many years ago. They should have just recently matured, making this the perfect season for picking."

Ning Fei explained calmly.

Once again, his broadcast left the viewers feeling incredibly relaxed and comfortable.

On the screen, a Daoist priest slowly strolled through the verdant tea fields, a white fox comfortably trailing after him, accompanied by a cute girl. It was a sight that truly made one gasp in admiration.

"Tea trees go through seedling, juvenile, adult, and senescent stages."

"During the adult stage, both the yield and quality of the tea trees reach their peak."

"Different varieties of tea trees require different amounts of time for each stage. For a high-quality tea tree, the seedling stage lasts about four months, the juvenile stage takes four to five years, and the adult stage spans twenty-five to thirty years."

"And the absolute best period for a tea tree like this is around its twenty-fifth year."

"The tea leaves are at their plumpest, and the tea flavor is the most fragrant and rich."

"After thirty years, the tea tree begins to age, and the flavor of the tea won't be as good."

"Of course, this also depends on the variety."

"Some special tea tree varieties actually produce better-tasting tea the older they get. A hundred-year-old tea leaf is considered a treasure among treasures."

Ning Fei strolled through the tea fields, quietly narrating as he walked.

Occasionally, passing young tea-picking girls would smile and greet him.

Wearing their ethnic attire, their smiles carried a unique and striking charm.

Lin Chuan was rather eccentric in this regard. Perhaps because he had too much money, he claimed that seeing young girls picking tea in his fields put him in a good mood. Thus, all the tea pickers he hired were girls in their twenties.

Everyone had their own hobbies and interests.

Perhaps in his eyes, watching young girls pick tea simply felt more pleasant.

Ning Fei continued walking uphill.

Bai Yuanche's tea garden was located at the very top.

From outside the estate, Bai Yuanche's plot couldn't be seen at all.

It was situated a bit further back behind the mountain, nestled in a rather unique valley terrain.

Because the sunlight wasn't great, few tea bushes were planted there, and very few people ever went over.

But when Bai Yuanche saw this spot, he believed it was a treasured land of Feng Shui. After Lin Chuan bought the area, Bai Yuanche planted some tea trees in that valley.

Lin Chuan had visited that particular plot many times.

He was a man who understood tea, yet he couldn't see anything unusual about Bai Yuanche's tea garden.

Still, he didn't act rashly. He simply followed Bai Yuanche's instructions and left that patch of tea bushes completely alone.

Now that Ning Fei was here, Lin Chuan was paying close attention.

Calculating the time, the tea bushes Bai Yuanche had planted here over twenty years ago should indeed be mature by now.

However, Lin Chuan was very curious to know what sort of profound mystery these tea bushes held.

Inside Ning Fei's Live-stream Room, as the popularity surged, more and more people kept filtering in.

The scenery of the tea garden was simply too beautiful.

At this point, the netizens began chatting about the tea planted in the garden.

Old Man: "These tea leaves have a vibrant color and a slender shape. Could this be Qingshan Maojian tea?"

Old Man was also an Emperor-tier user on Douniao Live, a VIP status that cost 180,000 a month. So as soon as he spoke, many people immediately echoed his words.

"Qingshan Maojian tea? What kind of tea is that? Never heard of it."

"Maojian tea is definitely delicious, and it's not expensive either."

Old Man: "Regular Maojian might be cheap, but Qingshan Maojian is a different story entirely. Top-quality Qingshan Maojian on the market can sell for over ten thousand a jin!"

"What? Over ten thousand for a jin of tea leaves? Why don't they just rob a bank?"

"Is this the life of the rich?"

While everyone was discussing this, Ning Fei spoke up:

"This entire tea garden is planted with Qingshan Maojian tea."

"It's a very rare variety with extremely high requirements for climate, soil, and hydrology. Under normal circumstances, it's very difficult for it to grow this large."

"At the same time, it requires incredibly careful maintenance, so the investment cost is far from small."

"My friend invested quite heavily in this tea garden, which is why he can grow so much Qingshan Maojian tea."

Hearing Ning Fei's words, the netizens could only silently click their tongues in awe.

Temple Master Ning truly wasn't simple!

Why didn't they have a friend like this?
