Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

Gu Hongcheng smiled and said, "Okay, let's share the happiness!"

After a pause, he continued, "You promised to help me deliver that calligraphy to Secretary Tang..."

Before this, Gu Hongcheng heard that Tang Shaoying liked calligraphy very much, so he specially wrote a piece of calligraphy and asked Chen Zixing to send it to him, asking Secretary Tang to comment on it in order to get closer to him.

Because of the "stealing credit" issue, Chen Zixing held back the calligraphy and didn't give it to Gu Hongcheng. But when Gu Hongcheng asked him about it, he certainly couldn't say that: "Old Gu, I've already given your calligraphy to Secretary Tang. But you have to know that Secretary Tang is a nobleman from Beijing and has met too many famous artists. It's probably difficult to get his comments!"

Gu Hongcheng said with a smile: "I understand. This is an opportunity after all. It would be an honor for me to receive some comments from Secretary Tang."

Chen Zixing nodded and said, "That's true. Only by sharing common interests with the leader can we quickly build a close relationship. Next time I report to Secretary Tang, I will definitely ask about you."

……

After careful planning, Liu Fusheng's chess strategy has basically taken shape.

After Gu Hongcheng and Chen Zixing took action according to Tang Shaoying's instructions, Liu Fusheng also came to Song Village in Jiyang City and visited the Zhao family again.

This time, Zhao Qiuwei took the initiative to go to the village entrance to greet them.

Liu Fusheng laughed and said, "Secretary Zhao is too polite. How can I accept it?"

Zhao Qiuwei said, "I lost the bet with you, so I must treat you to a glass of Dongfanghong. Today, I will fulfill my promise and welcome you home respectfully."

The Zhao family has protected those Song-type tea trees from generation to generation. Their obsession with this tea has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and even written into the family rules.

Since Zhao Qiuwei had promised to treat Liu Fusheng to Dongfanghong, the best Song-type tea, the ceremony must of course be made extra grand.

Liu Fusheng didn't know that before he arrived, Zhao Qiuwei even entered the Zhao clan ancestral hall and reported the matter to all the ancestors.

When they arrived at the gate of the Zhao Clan Ancestral Hall, Liu Fusheng looked at the elderly and trembling elders in the hall, and suddenly felt that he had underestimated the status of Song-type tea in the hearts of the Zhao family.

The main hall of the ancestral hall has been cleaned spotlessly, and the positions of the tables and chairs appear extremely solemn.

Zhao Qiuwei invited Liu Fusheng to take the seat of honor, and he sat next to him. The other respected clansmen all sat on both sides.

Liu Fusheng said apologetically, "I didn't expect Secretary Zhao would go to such great lengths to have tea this time. The bet we made a few days ago was a bit abrupt."

Zhao Qiuwei smiled and said, "In the ancestral hall, Secretary Liu, don't address me by my title. You can call me Old Zhao or Brother Zhao."

Liu Fusheng nodded. He knew that the fact that he could drink Dongfanghong proved that Zhao Qiuwei had regarded him as a friend. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to his ancestors.

"I prefer to call you Uncle Qiu."

Since others give Liu Fusheng face, he naturally has to reciprocate.

Last time when he called him Uncle Qiu, Zhao Qiuwei looked cold and distant. But this time he didn't say anything, which meant that he accepted the title.

While the two were chatting, a member of the tribe respectfully placed the firm, plump and tempting tea leaves in front of Zhao Qiuwei and Liu Fusheng.

Zhao Qiuwei pushed the tea over and said, "Please have Secretary Liu taste it."

After careful observation, Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "The tea is in perfect shape, roasted just right, and has a fragrance that is neither too strong nor too weak. It is refreshing and really lives up to its reputation."

Zhao Qiuwei said: "Secretary Liu really knows tea."

Then he poured the tea leaves into an exquisite covered bowl and slowly brewed it with water.

According to the Chaojiang Kung Fu tea brewing method, the tea is divided into three cups.

"please!"

Zhao Qiuwei made a gesture to Liu Fusheng, inviting him to drink.

Liu Fusheng understood how to drink Kung Fu tea, so he picked up a cup and drank it with Zhao Qiuwei.

When the tea soup goes into your mouth, the fragrant aroma goes from your throat straight to the top of your head, and then a sense of tranquility spreads from your eyebrows to your whole body.

Faintly, Liu Fusheng felt that fine beads of sweat were emerging from the pores all over his body.

“It’s full of tea flavor.”

Liu Fusheng praised without hesitation.

Zhao Qiuwei looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for further comments.

Liu Fusheng said: "After this tea enters the throat, it penetrates the seven orifices and flows through the five internal organs, and the fragrance lingers. Now, every breath I take is filled with the rich fragrance of tea. This Dongfanghong is worthy of its reputation."

Zhao Qiuwei laughed out loud, and the respected members of the Zhao family around him also laughed with relief.

If Liu Fusheng didn't understand tea, and didn't have any special feeling after drinking the Dongfanghong, or just said a few perfunctory words, they would definitely think that he was playing the lute to a cow, burning the lute and cooking the crane, which was a real shame and a waste of a cup of Dongfanghong.

At the same time, the Zhao family’s personal impression of Liu Fusheng will be greatly reduced.

But it is different now. Liu Fusheng not only praises Dongfanghong highly, but also tells us in detail the characteristics of this tea and even some exquisite details.

As the saying goes, BMW is given to martyrs and sword is given to heroes. It was very appropriate to use the Dongfanghong to entertain Liu Fusheng.

After drinking the tea, Zhao Qiuwei made a gesture of invitation to Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng was not polite. He picked up the third cup of tea and drank it in three sips. He then exclaimed: "Great! The skill of roasting and making tea must have taken decades of immersion. If I have the chance, I really want to meet this skilled tea master."

Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Zhao Qiuwei's face.

A member of the Zhao family said, "Secretary Liu has seen this tea master before. In Song Village, Dongfanghong has always been roasted by the clan leader himself, and the temperature is controlled by the clan leader."

Liu Fusheng looked at Zhao Qiuwei in astonishment: "Is this the tea roasted by Uncle Qiu himself?"

The Zhao family member smiled and said, "Every year when roasting Dongfanghong, the clan leader has to stay up for days and nights. His devotion to tea has reached the extreme. He is the best tea master in Song Village!"

Zhao Qiuwei said somewhat embarrassedly: "I am ashamed. I have not made any achievements in politics, but I am obsessed with plants and trees. Secretary Liu is embarrassed."

Liu Fusheng waved his hand and said, "Uncle Qiu, there is no need to be modest. Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. Under Uncle Qiu's governance, all industries in Jiyang City have developed in an orderly manner. Although the economic growth rate is not as fast as the other two cities, the residents' happiness index is higher."

Zhao Qiuwei smiled, acknowledging Liu Fusheng's praise. The so-called happiness index is not only about economic development, but also about caring for vulnerable groups and the stability of social security.

Zhao Qiuwei thinks he has done a pretty good job in this regard.

The two of them drank and chatted, and for a moment, the aroma of tea filled the air, and both the host and the guests were in great joy.

After drinking the Dongfanghong, Zhao Qiuwei led Liu Fusheng into the side hall, and exchanged another kind of tea with Liu Fusheng alone.

Zhao Qiuwei said as he made tea: "Secretary Liu chose this time to come to Song Village as a guest. Besides drinking tea, he must have something else to discuss with me, right?"
