Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Chapter 126
Hearing Xie Linfeng say that the rent was forgotten, Master Ma became a little unhappy before Xie Zhiyao said anything.

"No, you still have to collect rent, and you should collect it!"

"After all, I am a tenant, and I still have to pay the rent!"

"I, as a person, especially don't like to take advantage of others!"

"But you can give me a discount or something because I'm the first customer!"

When he said the last sentence, Mr. Ma winked at everyone in a funny way.

That look was quite funny, and it was considered a little joke by Mr. Ma on everyone.

I have to say, what kind of people make what kind of friends.

Master Ma is indeed Xie Zhiyao's friend. He has the same personality as him and is quite humorous.

Moreover, Mr. Ma's familiar temperament has long been reflected in Xie Zhiyao.

The two of them are almost identical. What's the saying?Birds of a feather?
Xie Linfeng here couldn't help but laugh when he saw Master Ma talking so funny:
"Okay, discount!"

"For the sake of Mr. Ma, you are my first tenant, I will give you a fracture!"

Xie Linfeng also made a small joke.

When Master Ma heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said:
"Broken bones? Then what...don't, otherwise you'd better not discount it!"

"You see, my old arms and legs can't stand up to a strong young man like you, right?"

What Xie Linfeng didn't expect was that Master Ma actually cooperated with Xie Linfeng in acting.

Xie Zhiyao and the two women who were watching the conversation couldn't help laughing.

After the fun, Xie Linfeng and everyone welcomed Mr. Ma into the house.

Later, Xie Zhiyao took Ma Ye to choose a room downstairs.

Mr. Ma chose the room closest to the door with the largest area.

In his words, based on his "status", he should live in the largest room.

Of course, this sentence was also a joke, and no one took it seriously.

Anyway, there are many rooms downstairs, and no one is staying there for the time being, so it doesn’t matter which one Mr. Ma chooses!

After Mr. Ma selected the room, Xie Zhiyao helped put the suitcase into the room.

Then, after a while, the two people walked out of the room again.

At this time, Mr. Ma had a green can in his hand. It seemed to be a can of tea?
After returning to the roof with Xie Zhiyao, Ma Ye looked at everyone and said with a smile:

"Everyone, I heard that you have a special tea room here?"

"Do you want to have some tea together?"

Tea room?There are two special tea rooms in the courtyard, one is outside the kitchen and dining room.

The other place is the balcony upstairs!
I just don’t know if the tea room Mr. Ma is talking about is upstairs or downstairs?

As if seeing the doubts in everyone's eyes, Xie Zhiyao on the side quickly smiled and said:
"Let's go to the tea room in the kitchen. It's close and I'm too lazy to go upstairs!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he looked at each other and the two women, and then accepted it happily.

Then, everyone walked towards the kitchen and tea room nearby.

After arriving at the tea room outside the kitchen, Mr. Ma looked around curiously.

Then he chuckled and said: "It feels good here. The light is bright and it doesn't make people feel stuffy!"

Everyone sat down around the coffee table in the center of the tea room. Xie Zhiyao had already taken out a small electric stove.

After plugging in the small electric stove, put the teapot filled with water and start boiling the water.

Looking at the electric stove that Xie Zhiyao took out, Mr. Ma couldn't help but laugh a little and said:

"Times are developing, and I didn't expect that this rural place would actually use such a modern small electric stove!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity! It would be even better if it were replaced by a charcoal stove!"

Xie Zhiyao on the side saw Master Ma starting to "make" again, and couldn't help but chuckled:
"What a pity. You like the charcoal stove. There is one in the utility room. How about I go get it for you?"

"Don't you want to waste too much time? Don't you want to waste a lot of time by upgrading carbon?"

"It's almost 04:30 in the afternoon, and it will be time to prepare dinner in a little while."

"If you don't mind waiting, how about I go get the charcoal stove and satisfy your desire for perfection?"

After hearing the first half of Xie Zhiyao's words, Ma Ye's eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't expect that the small courtyard actually prepared a charcoal stove.

Therefore, after listening to the first half of the sentence, Mr. Ma was indeed a little moved.

However, after hearing the second half of Xie Zhiyao's sentence, he couldn't help but look at the time.

Indeed, it is getting late today, and raising the charcoal stove now will indeed waste some time.

Therefore, Master Ma quickly said after hearing this: "Forget it, forget it, let's not waste any more time."

"Let's just make do with it today. When I have time in the future, I'll make a pot of authentic tea for everyone!"

As he spoke, the boiling water in the teapot began to boil slowly.

After Master Ma heard the sound coming from the teapot, he immediately began to concentrate.

Not long after the water in the teapot boiled, Master Ma turned off the electric switch.

When most people make tea, they wait until the water has completely boiled and the electric stove automatically cuts off the power before starting to brew.

But Ma Ye is different, he has his own way.

No, before the electric stove automatically cut off the power, he had already manually cut off the power when he heard the water starting to boil.In Ma Ye's own words, the water for making tea should not be too hot. It should be just right when it is boiled.

Mr. Ma took the matching tea set on the coffee table and gently soaked it in boiling water for a while.

Then, use wooden tweezers to pick up the soaked tea set and put it on the coffee table for later use.

After that, Mr. Ma made a series of tea-making actions.

This action dazzled everyone, and even Xie Zhiyao on the side asked curiously:
"I said Master Ma, when did you learn this trick?"

"I remember you didn't know how to do this before, and I didn't hear you like drinking tea in the past two years?"

Hearing this, Mr. Ma raised his head and smiled proudly at Xie Zhiyao, saying:
"I just learned how to drink tea in the past two years. I was hooked as soon as I learned it."

"It is indeed a traditional culture passed down by our ancestors. Drinking tea is more comfortable than drinking that kind of coffee!"

"Drinking tea here can not only maintain health, but also calm people's minds and cultivate their sentiments."

"On the other hand, the coffee you young people like is not only bitter and unpleasant to drink, but it is also harmful to the body."

“Moreover, coffee itself doesn’t have any sense of history, and it is far inferior to the cultural heritage left by our ancestors!”

Everyone felt the same way about Master Ma's words.

Indeed, coffee itself tastes very weird. I wonder how it became so popular?

Is it just to worship foreign countries?
On the other hand, the tea culture passed down by our ancestors has a strong sense of history.

Moreover, many people may say that tea does not taste good!
This is just an excuse. No matter how bad it tastes, can it be as bad as coffee?

After all, the original taste of coffee is bitter, and the ones sold in coffee shops are seasoned.

In the original coffee, some flavorings are added, and there is no shortage of technological products!

Even if some people like to grind their own coffee, they still need to add sugar, right?
The addition of sugar itself has destroyed the original flavor of coffee.

What is the difference between this and eating Xiang with seasoning?
I’m afraid not many people can drink the most authentic coffee taste, right?

So, stop saying that tea is not as delicious as coffee. This is just an excuse made by capital.

The real situation is not some fallacy thrown out by capital in order to occupy the market!
To be honest, drinking coffee is not as good as drinking milk tea, and technology is also added.

Moreover, milk tea tastes better than coffee and is more popular among the public.

More importantly, guess why milk tea is called milk tea?

Everyone gathered around the tea room to drink tea for a while, not to mention that Mr. Ma was really good at making tea.

Moreover, the tea brought by Mr. Ma is also very good, at least it tastes more refreshing than what everyone usually drinks!

In the evening, Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao specially cooked some local delicacies.

It can be regarded as a small welcome banquet for Mr. Ma!

During the dinner, Mr. Ma was quite happy and chatted well with everyone.

After the meal, the girls started to clear away the dishes. Xie Zhiyao was not planning to go home today.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao took Ma Ye to the balcony upstairs.

The three of them once again enjoyed Ma Ye's tea-making skills here.

Soon after, the two women who had finished washing the dishes also went upstairs to join in.

Everyone drank tea leisurely while enjoying the wind and enjoying the night view.

On the balcony, Xie Linfeng took a sip of tea, then turned to look at Mr. Ma and said:

"Master Ma, during the day Ayao said that you had just quit starting a business recently. What industry were you in before?"

Hearing this, Mr. Ma couldn't help but be slightly startled, then smiled and said:

"Me? I used to make some small investments, but I just quit a paid knowledge company!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he suddenly asked curiously:

"Paid knowledge? Does it mean real-life knowledge, like Zhihu?"

"Or are you referring to paid novels, such as websites like Singularity and Zhongheng?"

Hearing this, Mr. Ma chuckled and said, "Realistic knowledge is just a small company, not too big or too small!"

"I run several online paid websites, none of which are very big!"

"Oh!" Xie Linfeng nodded suddenly after hearing this.

“In the past two years, the concept of online payment for knowledge was indeed very popular.”

“However, in the past two years, as the industry has gradually matured, a lot of capital has intervened.”

"In the past two years, this line of work has probably become a bit difficult, right?"

Hearing this, Mr. Ma nodded and said, "Yes, this line of work has become increasingly difficult recently!"

"With the continuous intervention of capital, the online knowledge payment industry now has three pillars."

"Except for those few with strong capital, other small and medium-sized enterprises are constantly taking sides and being acquired!"

"The company I invested in was also financed and acquired by a large capital not long ago."

"So, I just cashed out and left. Anyway, I won't make much profit if I continue like this!"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng nodded and said with a smile:

"Financing mergers and acquisitions? That's not bad. You didn't suffer a loss. At least you cashed out in time!"

"Then Mr. Ma, you must have made a lot of money, right? I'm curious, how many times your profit will be this time?"
