Chapter 919 Tea
Chapter 919 Tea
"After all, Professor Sterling should be very busy," Tang Tang said, "Let's get the documents done sooner so that we don't waste any more of the professor's time."
There was even something of a collaboration between her and Edwin, so naturally the conversation didn't need to be too serious or tentative.
Or, at least, there is no need to test too much on the surface.
As for people, no matter what, face is always the basis of social interaction.
So Tang Tang chuckled as if teasing, breaking the awkwardness, "After all, Nobel Prize winners... should really believe that time is life?"
Edwin's eyebrows moved slightly as he looked at Tang Tang under the umbrella.
This girl, who has recently gained international fame, has a face that is completely oriental.
When she smiled gently, her purple eyes were very bright, and her facial features were as beautiful as precious gems. No matter whether people were from the West or the East, they would be amazed by her beauty.
And this beautiful and charming girl is the heiress of an ancient Italian mafia family. What a contrasting and curious identity!
A hint of interest flashed through Edwin's iron-gray eyes. He felt that the girl in front of him was much more attractive than many boring and easy experiments.
When Tang Tang came forward, Edwin handed over a neatly folded handkerchief. On the top of the handkerchief was embroidered a black raven, and next to the raven was a circle of bird of paradise embroidery.
It is the family crest of the Sterling family.
Tang Tang didn't hesitate and took the cup which still had a faint scent of cedar.
However, it was not just cedar. Cedar was just a simple top note. Tang Tang casually wiped the raindrops that did not exist at all with the handkerchief.
Soon she detected the scent behind it, a mixture of orris root and oakmoss.
Like what?
Combined with the feeling of water vapor coming from the falling rain, Tang Tang knew what this faint smell was like.
It's like a library in the rain. When it's quiet, you can even smell the scent of book pages and the smoke floating on the countless wooden bookshelves.
However, the cold cedar aura on his body always revealed its presence, making this quiet library feel a little colder.
This noble gentleman who looks gentlemanly and polite seems to have a little...contrast.
……
"Even though he already knew Miss Newman's age," Edwin was followed by a butler who was about the same age as old William.
After Tang Tang sat down, the butler immediately served them both hot tea.
“But it was still a surprise to meet Miss Newkman today.”
Edwin was a typical elite aristocrat. When he talked to people sincerely, he seemed to be able to make anyone feel warm.
However, these old money families often have an unparalleled arrogance - they hardly accept any outsiders.
But now, Edwin's attitude towards Tang Tang is very good, although both Edwin and Tang Tang are just being polite and testing each other at this moment...
But even so, Edwin, who spoke calmly and interacted with Tang Tang at this moment, was enough to make the students who had chosen his class cover their faces and cry bitterly.
Edwin was very critical of people, and while he was polite... well, maybe "polite," he had very little tolerance for anyone other than himself.
For example, he would not teach his students a lesson, let alone make malicious sarcasm towards them.
But he would not give gentle guidance or answer questions personally.
He would just put on a gentlemanly and reserved smile, look at others calmly, and then politely let them leave.
But in fact, this polite "non-blame" makes people feel even more ashamed than direct accusation.
But did Edwin really not know this?
No, of course not.
Of course he knew, but he didn't care.
Because Edwin knew his own nature clearly - and was satisfied with it.
"Even in Harvard, where there are so many talented people, Miss Newkman's age and achievements are still among the top."
Tang Tang raised his eyebrows and leisurely sipped the black tea.
Seeing Tang Tang take a sip of black tea, Edwin also leisurely picked up the silver teacup and took a sip.
Then, he looked at Tang Tang and asked, "I wonder if this black tea is to Miss Newkman's liking."
Tang Tang took a sip, raised his eyes to look at Edwin, and said confidently and affirmatively, "Uva's Golden Haojian can be said to be the best among Ceylon black teas."
"I like the minty scent in the middle," Tang Tang said in a steady tone, seeming extremely familiar with it.
"Miss Newkman is indeed a person who knows how to enjoy life," Edwin picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Tang Tang himself. "Compared to those boring politicians, I still prefer to communicate with people with taste like Miss Newkman."
Tang Tang lowered her eyes and looked at the beautiful silver teapot in Edwin's hand.
"This doesn't seem to be an ordinary teapot either."
Edwin said, "The Victorian silver kettle...it has changed over time, but it's still beautiful, isn't it?"
Indeed.
Tang Tang was not very polite. Even when Edwin was adding milk to her tea, she enjoyed the service of dear Professor Sterling very naturally.
Golden Haojian is only produced in Uva, Sri Lanka, and only grows in the fog line zone on the east side of the plateau at an altitude of about 1300 meters.
In the 19th century, the then British Governor even opened a tea garden here, and the tea was only supplied to the court of Queen Victoria.
This kind of tea is extremely delicate and must be picked by hand from the top buds of the tea tree before they unfold.
And the yield is extremely small, with 5 buds leaving less than 2 pounds of tea.
Each of these perfect tea buds has golden hairs evenly growing on it, and because of their high price, they are eventually called "Golden Tips".
"This is probably fate," Tang Tang ordered Tang Xiao, who was waiting outside the door, to get some tea.
"Professor may be used to black tea," Tang Tang said, "maybe we can also try Chinese green tea."
"Oh?"
Edwin looked at Tang Xiao, his eyes falling on the celadon jar in his hand, "China... is indeed a magical country with rich resources."
"Anji White Tea Ancestor," Tang Tang said, "I heard that the professor's new topic is about the mystery of time."
“Humans can’t outrun time, but maybe this tea tree can.”
Edwin apparently knew just as much about tea.
As he looked at Tang Tang, he felt more and more that they would be very compatible partners.
"This is the only thousand-year-old tree in the world," Edwin said. "Miss Newkman's gift is a little too expensive."
This tea can only produce 100g per year.
The term "worth a thousand gold" cannot be defined because even if one has money, one cannot buy this tea.
Although the Stella family is rich and powerful, they are not in China after all. Edwin does not like coffee and prefers tea.
This small gift from Tang Tang made him bring up a small decision that he had put on hold before.
