Chapter 41 Osmanthus Oolong Tea
Chapter 41 Osmanthus Oolong Tea
Early the next morning, Lieutenant General Russell drove a small spaceship and took his family of three to the planet Loras on the edge of the Milky Way.
Lieutenant General Russell Delano always had a solemn face, with the nasolabial folds left by his usual stern face.It's fine if you are not good at expressing words, but the tone of voice is also majestic, which makes people feel afraid when they see it.
In fact, his personality is not as harsh as it appears on the surface. He has always treated his wife with a gentle attitude, and he will not severely punish his subordinates if there is no serious mistake.
This time Heidi was ill, so he immediately took a long vacation and decided to drive the spaceship to take his daughter to recuperate.
Luo Bai silently blessed in his heart, hoping that Heidi's condition would improve on the low-gravity star.
However, the gene optimization plan also explained his long-standing puzzlement: there are no students with lactose intolerance, nut allergies, etc. in the cafeteria, because these gene chains that do not have the advantage of environmental adaptation have been screened out.
Perhaps because he took time out of his busy schedule, Luo Qiong noticed that Luo Bai's achievements in the Imperial Conservatory of Music far exceeded his imagination.After the cooperation in the supply of ingredients in the cafeteria, I hope that Luo Bai can go home for the second time and tell him in detail what he has seen and heard recently.
"What do I want to talk about..." Luo Bai was anxious and anxious, not thinking about how to deal with his shrewd old father.
"What's the matter?" Xi Weier noticed that he was squatting in the garden to pull weeds, and even pulled out the vegetable seedlings next to him, so he hurriedly stopped this dizzy behavior and asked.
Luo Bai sighed: "My father wants to see me and listen to me talk about my experience in running the cafeteria in the college. Maybe he will bring up the matter of taking over the company again."
"Isn't this very good?" Xi Weier was puzzled: "I remember that what you studied was financial management."
Luo Bai said quietly: "Then why don't you remember that I dropped out of school because I failed too many subjects?"
The original owner was indeed repeatedly warned by the school because of poor grades, and getting married early also gave him a chance to break away from school life.
"...Then I'll go with you?"
"Forget it," Luo Bai put away the distressed look on his face, "I'll just tell the truth and go home as soon as possible."
When Xiver heard him say "go home", he automatically regarded Delano's house as his home, and he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.To have a sense of belonging shows that Luo Bai still cares about him, which is great.
Tuliu Luobai looked at the major general's silly smile, and left without knowing why, to prepare a gift for Luo Qiong.
………………
The next day, Luo Bai simply tidied up and went out.
This is the first time he took the city light rail alone to return to his home.Because it is not very far from Draenor Mansion, he can walk slowly all the way to see the bustling Emperor Star capital.
The upper layer of the city has a magical sense of technology, the skyline and light rail are intertwined, and occasionally a few birds pass by in mid-air; the middle layer is a fluorescent bustling city under holographic projections, with busts of virtual idols and punk-style slogans displayed on the tall buildings. In the huge signboards of the rooms and business districts, the lights of various colors flicker in succession, complementing each other brilliantly and colorfully.
Although they are both on the Emperor Star Ess, the Draenor house and Luo Qiong's house have completely different styles.The Delano house is surrounded by dense vegetation, which is a completely rural mansion scene; while the Luo family is located in the center of the capital economic zone, a high-tech residence suitable for office and yet prosperous.
When Luo Bai got off the airship and stepped into this huge mansion, his dormant memory gradually woke up.
The original owner spent his childhood and youth here.Because Luo Qiong is too busy, Xiao Luobai wakes up from early morning to dusk every day, and there is no other life in the huge house except robots.
At first, little Luo Bai would still stare at the direction of the gate earnestly every day, hoping that Luo Qiong would take time out of his busy schedule to visit him, or... just to make contact, and see his father in the holographic projection. good.
But Luo Qiong never returned home as promised.For an hour, a day, or even a week, Xiao Luobai could only see the back of his father in a hurry.Every time he misses an appointment, Luo Qiong will put a large amount of money on his personal terminal and let him buy his favorite things, which will be regarded as compensation.
As time passed, Luo Bai no longer expected Luo Qiong to accompany him often, he was used to playing games with himself alone in a big empty house.
When he gradually grew up and was no longer restricted by electronic anti-addiction control, Luo Bai began to throw a lot of money into the star network. Seeing that he exchanged interstellar points for things that others could hardly even dream of owning, his empty heart It seemed to be filled with the pleasure of vanity.
Until one day, people who didn't like his behavior started to provoke him, saying that he couldn't buy everything with money after all, such as that high-ranking major general, he wouldn't even look at Luo Bai.
Unwilling to admit defeat, Luo Bai began to use all means to prove that he can use money to forge ahead in any place.But the major general naturally looked down on people like him, so Luo Bai finally thought of his clever father who seemed to be omnipotent.
——I want to marry Xi Weier, no matter what method is used.
Luo Qiong agreed to him.
——The memory came to an abrupt end here, Luo Bai didn't quite understand why a person like Luo Qiong, who was so busy for his own interests that he rarely came home, would artificially raise a child?Is it just to let someone inherit your property?
At this time Luo Qiong had led Luo Bai to the back garden of the house, the evening breeze was blowing gently, and the fragrance was floating.Branches and flowers swayed, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
At sunset, sunlight passes through the atmosphere and becomes a remarkably blue sun after Mie scattering.
"Why, it's only been a long time since birth, and I still have things with me when I go home." Luo Qiong keenly noticed the things in Luo Bai's hands, and greeted him to sit down.
Luo Bai smiled embarrassedly, and explained: "This is my own smoked osmanthus oolong tea, suitable for people with weak stomachs."
Osmanthus oolong tea is mainly prepared from summer and autumn tea as raw materials.After the tea is scented with fresh osmanthus, it will not lose the taste of tea, but also has a strong aroma of osmanthus. After drinking, it can ventilate and calm the stomach. It is a special tea in oolong tea.
Luo Qiong was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved her hand, asking the intelligent AI butler to replace the fruit tea on the table, and prepare to make the osmanthus tea brought by Luo Bai.
The brewed tea soup is golden and bright, the center of the bottom of the leaf is yellow-green, the edge is vermilion, the cord is tight and thin, and the color is bright.
When sniffing carefully, the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus tea is elegant and refreshing, with the unique aroma of oolong.
The taste is even better if you taste it carefully, pure, sweet and fresh, taking a sip is like drinking a golden sweet-scented osmanthus.
Luo Qiong showed appreciation: "The tea made in this way is special. If it can be packaged and promoted, it will definitely be more popular than the current Jinlingzi tea..."
The father and son began to discuss about tea, but one was talking about the scenting method and taste effect of sweet-scented osmanthus oolong, and the other was thinking about how to promote it as a new product. Although it was not right, the chat was quite pleasant. .
Several methods of making scented tea turned in my mind, and Luo Bai's mouth was dry, and Luo Qiong finally put down the topic and turned serious and said: "Recently, you have uploaded dozens of patents for recipes in the patent office, and Has it been rented out at a low price?"
Looking at his serious face, Luo Bai felt nervous for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth: "...Yes, because I didn't want to use it to get a lot of income."
Luo Qiong's question was beyond his expectation. He thought that it would be enough to come here today to explain his pleasant experience in school, but he never thought that Luo Qiong's first concern was the recipe patent.
Several bad guesses flashed through Luo Bai's mind for a moment - Luo Qiong wanted him to use the recipes to gain monopoly benefits?Or do you think his behavior is suspicious and want to beat him up?
"I have no objection to your research on cooking, even applying for patents and opening up authorizations to the outside world. But your actions are too big... The scope of influence has gone beyond a few small college cafeterias, and even the far star regions have heard of it."
"But, is there any harm in knowing more people?" Luo Bai asked a little confused.
Looking at his appearance, Luo Qiong sighed, and had to break the words into pieces to explain to his stupid son: "You rent out cooking methods at a low price, which essentially infringes on the interests of other restaurants and chefs. If there are Now that more delicious and simple cooking methods are popular, who would pay the price several times more expensive than natural ingredients to go to restaurants?"
Luo Bai was stunned: "But... the restaurant can also obtain the production method at a low price?" He didn't expect that the cooking method that would not monopolize food would still hit the market in a real way.
Luo Qiong frowned, and continued: "But people who can go to restaurants are tired of needing to apply in advance. Isn't it more convenient to ask someone to go home to cook after a long journey? As far as I know, there are already people I can't help but want to attack you, it's just because of your identity."
"My... identity?"
"You wanted to marry Xiwell back then, and I agreed." Luo Qiong rubbed his temples wearily. His temples turned gray prematurely. It's hard to tell if it was the sequelae of exhausting himself in the mall, "Our family Although he has a huge amount of property, he has no ability to guard it after all. Marrying with the Draenor family and giving away half of the money can be regarded as stability in exchange."
He went on to say: "But the emperor star is not at peace after all, the next contest for the election of the emperor is about to begin, I don't know how long the marshal can stay in the position... Before that, you still have to restrain your arrogant character and rest assured. Let's stay at Delano's."
Luo Bai didn't expect to hear these secrets here. He knew little about the struggle for power in the upper echelons of the Galactic Empire, but it didn't prevent him from grasping the key words in Luo Qiong's words: "So...my marriage with Xi Weier is actually not just Are you seeking refuge for my wish and for the wealth of the family?"
Luo Qiong glanced at him lightly, and said in a calm tone: "It's the best of both worlds. I have already gone to Delano's house to ask you if you will regret it. Since you are determined not to go home, you can no longer mention the dissolution of the engagement. Not to mention betraying Xiver—that would be a court-martial."
Luo Bai felt a desire to keep his mouth shut.
He didn't know if it was the strong will left by the original owner that was affecting him, or simply the overlapping impact of memory and reality was too strong, he asked out of control: "When I need you, you never go home Take a look at me, and just when I thought you were finally trying to make it up to me, you told me it was for a stronger interest—"
"Why did you raise me?"
"..." Luo Qiong pretended to be interested in the black tea in the cup, he looked down at the swaying tea leaves and said in a low voice: "During the year my father passed away, I couldn't get out of my memories almost every day , pretending that I am working seriously during the day, and being tortured until I can’t sleep at night... Money, power, title, these can’t bring me a little happiness.”
"I finally realized that I have no ties in this world anymore. I want a child that belongs only to me, so you were born, but I also can't let go of the career that has just started on the right track," he finally looked out of the cup. Pulling out the shaken tea, he looked at Luo Bai with a painful look: "I...I actually don't care about you. Can you understand me? Will you forgive me?"
"..." Luo Bai didn't meet Luo Qiong's eyes, he was not the original owner, and he was not qualified to forgive his lonely childhood on his behalf, let alone easily give him the affection that didn't belong to him.
"It's getting late, Xavier is still waiting for me to go back." Luo Bai put down the sweet-scented osmanthus oolong in his hand, brushed off the dust that didn't exist on his body, and got up and said, "I will handle the relationship with Xavier properly, and it won't affect the family. Status. You... also pay attention to safety."
When he was about to step out of the mansion, Luo Bai turned around and took a look. Luo Qiong was still sitting on the chair, his figure seemed a little hunched.
Luo Bai opened his Xingwang account, looked at the ten-figure deposit, hesitated for a while, and then his eyes became firm and calm.
He contacted a reliable agent who was responsible for donating 99% of the star points in his account.If the original owner had a grudge against Luo Qiong's money, he would also not use it with peace of mind.
This donation will be used to aid the infrastructure of the poor planet, care for the treatment of children with genetic defects, and increase pensions for veterans.
"The names of the donors... Luo Bai and Luo Qiong." After clicking to confirm the terms of the donation, Luo Bai's steps seemed to be much lighter.
The blue sunset has almost sunk below the horizon, still sinking slowly.Countless clouds in the sky merged into a blue-purple sunset glow, which outlined a layer of gold due to the halo.
Gradient sunlight and magnificent extraterrestrial sky, dark blue, light purple, light pink... These refracted halos penetrated the atmosphere and landed on Luo Bai's thin figure.
There was a breeze blowing his short black hair, and that gorgeous light also shone on the corners of his slightly raised lips.Luo Bai walked towards the intercity light rail station against the light, behind him was the entire sunset, as if he was covered in clouds.
The expression on Luo Bai's face was firm and soft. Although he came to the interstellar world alone and had no one to trust him to, he was always clear about his goal and worked hard for it.
As long as you have no regrets.
The author has something to say: OS: Ah, the interstellar people really died early, the misunderstanding between Luo Qiong and Luo Bai will be resolved in the end.
The body temperature has dropped a little today, here is a long chapter... Everyone must take care of your health QwQ
