Chapter 19: This Tea Was So Good!
The audience was shocked when they saw the dense patch of golden cicada flowers.
Lin Tian was equally stunned.
At that moment, the Panda mom, realizing she had unearthed golden cicada flowers, had her eyes light up. She quickly dug through the soil with both paws, swiftly pulLin out a golden cicada flower.
Before Lin Tian could stop her, she stuffed it into her mouth.
“Pfft… pfft…”
Golden cicada flowers, eaten raw, naturally didn’t taste good. The Panda mom’s mouth filled with a bitter taste. The bitterness made her stick out her pink tongue.
She sprawled on the ground, spitting.
> “Haha, did Panda mom think the golden cicada flower was tasty?”
> “She just shoved it right in her mouth.”
> “Pandas are foodies too, huh.”
> “She must be bitter out of her mind now.”
…
The audience burst into laughter at the sight.
Lin Tian helplessly held his forehead. How could Panda mom eat anything? Golden cicada flowers were medicinal herbs. Eating raw herbs naturally tasted bitter.
Lin Tian rubbed Panda mom’s round head to comfort her. Then he looked up at the patch of golden cicada flowers in front of him. Thanks to Panda mom, he wouldn’t have known there were so many golden cicada flowers under that rotten log.
So many—they were probably worth a few thousand yuan. Lin Tian didn’t waste them. He carefully dug them up, roots and all, and placed them in the bamboo basket on his back.
After tasting the golden cicada flower, Panda mom lost interest in them. Bamboo was still tastier. She waddled back to the bamboo forest, grabbed a bamboo stalk, and started munching.
Lin Tian shook his head and didn’t disturb her meal. He instructed her to come back after eating, then took the cubs and the golden cicada flowers back to his residence.
At the entrance to his residence, he ran into Wang Jian.
“Brother Wang, what brought you here?” Lin Tian was surprised to see Wang Jian.
Wang Jian had already taken him on a forest patrol the previous day, so there was no need for him to come again today.
“Came to check on you and brought you some food,” Wang Jian said. Wang Jian smiled and patted the vehicle he had driven over.
Only then did Lin Tian notice that Wang Jian had come by car this time. It was a white Great Wall pickup truck. The truck looked somewhat old, probably several years old. Lin Tian glanced at the truck. His attention was quickly drawn to the items in the truck bed.
In the bed of the pickup, there were two large bags of rice, a basket of fresh vegetables, and two meat chickens tied with rope. Besides those, the truck also carried several bottles of soy sauce, vinegar, and salt.
“I know you just started and haven’t had time to stock up on food,” Wang Jian said. “I set aside some of my own supplies and brought them for you. Take a look, see if you’re missing anything.”
Wang Jian smiled as he unloaded the items from the truck, grinning at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian looked at the items in the truck and froze for a moment. He quickly waved his hands and said, “Brother Wang, these are from your own stock. How could I take them…”
“Hey, just take them. If anything, you can pay me back when you go shopping in town,” Wang Jian said. Wang Jian pressed Lin Tian’s hand, insisting he accept the supplies.
Seeing this, Lin Tian was deeply touched and couldn’t bring himself to refuse further. He helped Wang Jian carry the items into the house.
Once inside, Lin Tian suddenly remembered the golden cicada flowers he had picked from the bamboo forest.
He planted the golden cicada flowers in the courtyard. Then he watered them with spiritual water. After waiting a few minutes, Lin Tian picked the golden cicada flowers, washed them clean, boiled water, and brewed tea.
Soon, amid the gurgLin sound, the fragrance of tea filled the air. Lin Tian took a gentle sniff and felt refreshed and clear-headed.
Good tea!
After being nourished with spiritual water, the golden cicada flowers smelled even more fragrant. The tea had a faint, refreshing aroma when sipped.
“Brother Wang, try the tea I brewed,” Lin Tian said.
After brewing the tea, Lin Tian poured a cup for Wang Jian first.
Wang Jian was a tea enthusiast. As soon as he took the cup, he caught the aroma wafting through the air. His expression froze.
“Huh, what kind of tea is this? So fragrant?” Wang Jian was puzzled and looked down at the tea. The tea wasn’t ordinary green or black tea. Instead, it had a faint golden sheen, like a rich broth. What kind of tea is this? Wang Jian was curious.
He took a sip, and his eyes widened instantly.
This tea … is so good!
And after drinking it, he felt as if his body was filled with energy, his spirit noticeably uplifted!
Lin Tian saw Wang Jian’s eyes light up after drinking the tea. He knew the tea’s effect was impressive. He poured himself a cup as well.
After taking a sip, his eyes lit up too. It was indeed delicious! Sweet with a hint of bitterness, it Linered on the palate.
Most importantly, golden cicada tea had the effect of boosting immunity. A few sips could enhance the body’s immunity and reduce the chance of illness.
Lin Tian refilled Wang Jian’s cup. Then he poured another for himself. The two drank another cup! They immediately felt warm and cozy all over.
So comfortable!
At that moment, Panda mom, having finished eating in the bamboo forest, waddled back to the courtyard.
She caught the sweet aroma in the air. Her attention immediately fixed on the teacup in Lin Tian’s hand.
“Ying ying…”
(Want to eat!)
The panda grabbed the feeding bowl Lin Tian had prepared for her and shuffled to the table. She nudged the bowl while looking at Lin Tian.
From her expression, it seemed she wanted a cup too!
Lin Tian was a bit stunned.
How come the panda wanted to drink tea too?
Panda mom tilted her head, still looking up, her glossy black eyes fixed on Lin Tian. Her small eyes were filled with longing.
Faced with such an adorable, pleading gaze, Lin Tian’s heart softened, and he poured her a cup. He figured, since it was tea brewed with spiritual water, Panda mom probably wouldn’t find it bitter.
Lin Tian let the remaining half-pot of tea cool, then poured it all into Panda mom’s feeding bowl.
Panda mom happily clutched the bowl, sat to the side, and started gulping it down!
> “Panda mom probably thinks it’s something tasty.”
> “Brother Tian, feeding tea to Panda mom? I want to see her scrunch her face!”
> “I want to see Panda mom’s bitter tea face!”
> “+1”
…
The comments erupted, all eager to see Panda mom wince in discomfort.
But after Panda mom drank the tea, her small eyes lit up.
“Ying…!”
This water … tastes like good water!
Panda mom instantly recognized the spiritual water flavor in it! Her dark eyes sparkled with excitement. She lifted the bowl and started gulping it down!
The half-bowl of tea was gone in no time. After finishing, she still wanted more, grabbed the bowl, and went back to Lin Tian.
Panda mom clung to Lin Tian with her front paws, her round head nuzzLin him coyly.
“Ying ying…!”
(The tea was good, more!)
Lin Tian: …
Lin Tian looked at the now-empty spiritual water tea, dumbfounded.
She drank all that tea in one go???
