My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy) -
Chapter 162 Tense Atmosphere
"This is tea rice. These are eggs boiled in tea. And this is tea soup with rabbit meat...." Amy was introducing the dishes on the table.
"Are these all tea dishes? But why haven't I seen any tea leaves in them?" Sherry looked at the dishes. They smelled nice, but she could not replace any tea leaves in them.
"This rice is cooked with Hawk tea, so it's very fragrant. These eggs were boiled in tea. Even though the tea leaves used for this dish are just of average quality and not expensive, the eggs are quite nutritious.' Amy introduced the details of every tea dish to Sherry.
Sherry was overjoyed. In France, she only tasted the tea given by her Chinese friends. They would tell her how to brew it, but that was all. Today, she not only tried picking tea by herself, but she could also enjoy a meal consisting of tea dishes only.
She thought the trip today was fruitful and she had really learned a lot.
"Can we meet the owner of the tea garden today?" Yuris was pleased with the activities today, too.
"I'm really sorry. The owner of the tea garden has been away. He is probably busy with his own business abroad. Maybe you will meet him next time you come here." The owner of the tea garden was the brother of one of Amy's classmates. He was always nice to Amy, and he helped Amy a lot today by letting her use his tea garden.
"Oh, what a pity! We can't meet the man with such a good taste today. Fortunately, you have told us a lot of things we didn't know. Thank you very much, Amy." Yuris was very grateful to Amy.
"Mr. Keller, it's very kind of you to say that. Have more fish. The fish tastes yummy and tender, and there are very few bones in it." Amy picked up some fish for Yuris. Fish was Yuris' favorite food.
When they left the Evergreen Tea Garden, Amy took many tea leaves on the car. They were all gifts from the owner of the tea garden to Sherry and Yuris.
"We had a lot of greasy food at noon. And let's go to a tea house to have some tea and have a good chat there." Amy also invited another person who was already waiting for Sherry and Yuris in the tea house.
In the antique tea house, even the decorations were teapots and teacups. Amy took Sherry and Yuris to the private room she had booked, and Cathy was already waiting for them there. The water was boiling and bubbling. And the entire room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
"Ms. Rose, Mr. Keller, she is my mother-in-law. She is an expert in making tea. I invited her to make tea for you so that you can enjoy different tea arts in China." Amy introduced Cathy to Sherry and Yuris. Now Amy finally got the chance to sit down, chat, and enjoy the time today.
They talked about black tea, green tea, flower tea, and all kinds of delicate sweets that went with tea. Soon, their topic shifted from the tea culture to business. And finally, Sherry and Yuris made a business deal with HD Group.
"Yuris, do you feel that we are tricked into making the deal?" Sherry suddenly asked Yuris after they went back to the hotel.
"Yes, and we are happy to do it. Amy didn't force us. It was us who brought up the topic of cooperating with them. We will sign the contract tomorrow. You still have time to change your mind." Yuris said to Sherry affectionately.
"But I don't regret it. I feel that doing business with someone like Amy is the right thing. She is really a smart girl. Somehow, she reminds me of Eliana Rice. Both of them make you want to cooperate with them." Sherry went back to her room, and Yuris followed her inside to give her a massage. It was a long day for them.
"I don't regret it, either. We can only gain win-win results by cooperating with people like her. HD Group is really lucky in having her." Yuris helped Sherry take off her shoes and lie face down on the bed. And then, he massaged the back of her waist.
Yuris had been pursuing Sherry for more than ten years, but Sherry never said yes to him because of some old story. And now even if they weren't together, they had become as close as family.
After sending Cathy back, Amy also went home. She had talked a lot and walked in high heels today, so she was exhausted.
Fortunately, Grandma Eva was not in the living room, so Amy directly went upstairs. She fell asleep immediately after climbing into her bed.
Richard was also busy today. He did not go home for dinner, so no one came to ask Amy if she wanted to eat.
By the time Amy woke up again, it was already dark outside. And she felt very hungry.
After changing her clothes, she went downstairs to see if there was anything to eat. However, when she got to the living room, she saw that it was joyful there. Grandma Eva, Addy, and Sophia were sitting on the sofa watching TV. They were chatting so happily with laughter.
Grandma Eva immediately put on a long face when she saw Amy.
"Don't you know how to respect me? Why didn't you greet me and tell me that you were at home? Are you waiting for me to greet you first?" Grandma Eva said harshly.
"Grandma, don't be angry. It's not good for your health. Amy is the Vice President of HD Group now, so she is definitely very busy. You should forgive her for forgetting to greet you." Sophia spoke as if she wanted to ask Grandma Eva to forgive Amy. But in fact, she was just trying to make more trouble and enrage Grandma Eva.
"Vice president? A woman should just help her husband and bring up their children. It's so indecent for a woman to go about the city and do business. Haven't we given you enough money?" Grandma Eva became even angrier.
Amy could never have expected that Grandma Eva would scold her so harshly. She just wanted to see if she could replace something to eat at home.
"Grandma, I was very busy today, so I was really tired when I came home. That's why I didn't go to greet you. I'm hungry now. I want to see if I can replace something to eat." Amy tried to explain politely. "Are you trying to show off? Do you think you're the only woman who has a career in the family and we're all trash?" Grandma Eva did not care whether Amy's excuse was reasonable or not. She would just scold Amy whenever she had a chance.
Amy felt that she had been patient enough with Grandma Eva. Amy did not want to say anything after she realized that Grandma Eva was just targeting at her. She then went to the kitchen to look for food. "Mrs. Carter, what do you want to eat? I can cook something for you." The cook knew that Amy did not have anything for dinner, so she asked Amy in the kitchen.
"Could you make me some noodles? I'm good with something simple." Amy was so tired that she didn't want to talk anymore. She wouldn't even have gone downstairs if she wasn't too hungry. The Carter's was such a depressive place for her. She almost couldn't breathe there.
"It was your own fault for skipping dinner today. Cook for yourself! The servants also need to rest!"¶¶¶¶¶¶
