Chapter 103 Long planned
Chen Mo finished singing and walked off the stage and just sat down.

Da Mai picked up the glass and said, "Brother Mo, thank you. Your song touched my heart. I'll drink it."

"Hey"

Before Chen Mo could stop him, Da Ma drank it all in one gulp.

"And Mr. Hu, I used to think you were noisy, so I did it too."

Barley poured himself another cup, finished talking, and drank it in another gulp.

"It's okay. I'll have a drink with you, too."

Hu Youyu wanted to say a few more polite words, but seeing that Damai had already drank the whole glass, he held back his words and also drank the glass.

After drinking two cups, Da Mai's face turned red.

Hu Youyu put down his wine glass and joked, "Sister Damai, you usually don't drink when I ask you to, but I didn't expect you to be so generous once you start drinking."

Barley nodded when he heard that, picked up the wine and poured it, "Yes, and the previous ones, let's make up for it together."

"Hey, no, no, no."

Judging from Da Mai's expression, he was obviously a little drunk, so Hu Youyu hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Cheers." Barley said nothing more and drank another cup.

Next, Da Mai pulled Xu Hongdou, Chen Nanxing and Nana beside him to drink.

In the end, as expected, Barley got drunk.

Chen Mo and Hu Youyu looked at each other and shook their heads.

It can be seen that the girl usually doesn't drink much, but when she gets excited, she drinks quickly and has no idea of ​​her alcohol tolerance.

A few people returned to Yunmiao Village and got off the car at the entrance of the village. The road in the village was narrow and they could not drive in.

After getting off the car, Chen Nanxing and Nana held Damai on the left and right.

Da Mai has entered drunken talk mode, constantly "telling" about past events that have made him unhappy.

What? I met a weird blind date, but after getting to know her, he was not suitable. He asked her for money for milk tea. I spent 2,800 yuan on action figures. Her father forced her to run.
It was obvious that he was too depressed and had a lot to say.

When Da Mai talked about his sad moments, he raised his finger to the sky and sang loudly: "I am the smallest one, but I have big dreams~~"

"Okay, okay, it's a big dream. Let's go back and realize it." Chen Nanxing held down Da Mai's hand that was gesticulating randomly and kept comforting him.

Xu Hongdou originally wanted to persuade Damai to drink less, but Damai persuaded him to drink a lot instead.

The cocktail had a strong aftereffect, so Xu Hongdou was fine when she came out of the bar, but when she got out of the car after returning to Yunmiao Village, she started to walk unsteadily.

Chen Mo quickly supported Xu Hongdou, looked at her flushed face, and shook his head helplessly:

"I told Damai not to drink too much, but he drank so much himself."

Xu Hongdou smiled innocently and spread her hands, "Back~~"

Chen Mo's eyes were helpless but doting, and he replied softly, "Okay."

Chen Mo turned around and half squatted, and Xu Hongdou hugged Chen Mo's neck and lay on Chen Mo's back. Her body was gentle, like a pool of warm jade.

"If I'm not by your side in the future, you can't drink so much outside." Chen Mo warned.

Xu Hongdou smiled drunkenly without saying anything, her warm breath gently blowing on Chen Mo's neck.

"Did you hear that?" Chen Mo patted Xu Hongdou's buttocks lightly.

"Hmm~~" Xu Hongdou let out a soft moan.

Chen Mo looked back at Hu Youyu and said, "Old Hu, are you okay?"

Hu Youyu, with several straw hats stacked on his head and carrying large and small bags of the spoils of Four Golden Flowers' shopping spree during the day, was at the back of the pack.

"Okay, how can a man not be able to do that?" Hu Youyu said with a smile.

They were just some clothes and accessories. They weren't heavy, but there were too many large and small bags, making them difficult to carry.

Walking on the quiet and dim village road, illuminated by the orange street lights, six people were walking in groups of two or three, and one was alone.

The moon followed all the way, sending them home.

The next day, the kitchen.

Da Mai covered his face with two bottles of iced mineral water, while Xu Hongdou applied a frozen spoon to his eyes.

Chen Nanxing cooked porridge in the kitchen and Nana helped.

Chen Nanxing and Nana laughed as they talked about Da Mai's "drunk truth" last night.

After hearing all of his embarrassing stories, Da Mai was terrified and said, "I will never drink again."

"On the way back to the courtyard last night, you insisted on singing, and both of us almost couldn't hold you back." Chen Nanxing said with a smile.

"Ah? I'm still singing? What song?" Da Mai looked confused.

Thinking of Da Mai's expression last night, Nana couldn't help but laugh, "It's the song that Chen Mo sang to you. It seems you like it very much."

Da Mai covered his face in embarrassment and whispered, "I just think that song is very exciting."

"You are quite aggressive and almost disturbed others." Chen Nanxing joked.

Yunmiao Village becomes very quiet after nine o'clock. The villagers go to bed early and get up early.

Da Mai was immediately devastated. He closed his eyes and said to himself: This is all a dream.

"Hongdou had the easiest time last night. Someone carried her as soon as she got off the bus, and she fell asleep before we even reached the yard." Nana said.

Xu Hongdou smiled embarrassedly when she heard that.

Her memory of last night was that she lay on Chen Mo's back, and then she fell asleep peacefully. But in her dream she felt like something hit her butt.

Xu Hongdou guessed that Chen Mo's hands were not keeping quiet when he slept again.

"You should find a boyfriend as soon as possible, then someone will carry you." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"Then we have to find someone with a good physique." Nana smiled.

"The distance from the village entrance to our courtyard is quite long. I don't want someone to carry me and ask me to lose weight."

She didn't know why, but whenever she heard words like "physique" and "physical strength" about her boyfriend, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but recall certain images in her mind.

Chen Mo's physique is quite tiring.

Xu Hongdou's face was a little hot. "Da Mai, give me a bottle of ice water to warm myself up."

"Oh, here you go." Damai handed Xu Hongdou a bottle and didn't notice anything unusual.

Ever since Master Ma said that when one is too still, one will think of moving, it has been a while since Chen Mo and Master Ma had a chance to drink tea and discuss philosophy.

When Chen Mo went to the horse farm to ride a horse, he ran into Ma Ye talking about something with Xie Zhiyao.

Later, from Xie Zhiyao, Chen Mo also learned about some of Ma Ye’s glorious past.

When the Internet was at its most prosperous a few years ago, Ma Ye kept chasing after popular businesses, including group buying, knowledge payment, sharing economy, etc. He did whatever was popular and always managed to get out of it safely before the wind died down.

So during those years, Ma Ye's business grew bigger and bigger. At its peak, the company had an office space of more than 10,000 square meters and hundreds of employees in the most prosperous science and technology park in the capital.

The last time, I tried hard to develop the sharing economy, but the wind stopped and I fell down, and all my years of hard work were in vain.

But fortunately I don’t owe any debt.

Mr. Ma sold his property, paid his employees’ wages and cleared Party B’s debts, then came to the courtyard to meditate.

On this day, Master Ma sent out another invitation for tea tasting.

Chen Mo, Xu Hongdou, Chen Nanxing and Damai were invited and gathered together.

"Master Ma, are you changing your product to milk tea?" Chen Mo asked, looking at the milky white bottles and jars on the table.

"We have pure tea and milk tea, you can choose." Mr. Ma smiled and gestured with his hand.

"I thought that Mr. Ma, who pursues the tea ceremony, would not like such sweet things." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Personally, I like pure tea, which is bitter at first but sweet later, with a long aftertaste, just like life."

Ma Ye spoke in a slow and soft voice, and then changed the subject, "However, personal preferences are personal preferences, and entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship. When doing business, we naturally have to consider the vast young consumer group."

"This time, I want to create a new tea brand that combines leisure and social interaction, making tea culture younger, so I will never set my own threshold or pretend to be elegant."

"Not only traditional brewed tea, but also non-pure tea beverages that meet the tastes and needs of young people should be included."

When talking about his entrepreneurial philosophy and ideas, Ma Ye finally lost the mysterious "immortal-like spirit and disillusionment with the world", and became an entrepreneur full of confidence and high spirits.

"Like a coffee shop?" Chen Nanxing asked curiously. "Similar, but I think tea should have a higher ceiling than coffee." Ma Ye said.

"In our country, our tea culture has a longer history, a wider audience and a larger audience base."

"You can drink good tea worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, or you can drink broken tea worth a dozen yuan. Whether it's on the streets or in the houses of the rich, tea is everywhere."

Master Ma waved his hand and described the grand blueprint with a bright and energetic look.

Da Mai was surprised and said, "But it seems that when we talk about blind dates, dates, and work, we seem to go to coffee shops most of the time."

Ma Ye nodded and said, "That's right, that's why we want more young people to get in touch with, understand and like tea and tea culture."

Xu Hongdou smiled and said, "Master Ma, this is the first time I see your 'jianghu' side."

Upon hearing this, Master Ma coughed awkwardly and said, "I am just an ordinary person. I cannot become an immortal. It is more comfortable for me to roll around in the mortal world."

Chen Mo eased and said, "Escape from the world and practice the mind in the mortal world, which are all cultivation."

Master Ma shook his head with a smile, "Let's not talk too much, let's taste the tea first, and then I'll trouble you to give us a score, give us your evaluation, and give us your opinions."

"Okay, no problem." Several people nodded.

Master Ma poured a few cups for each of them and even prepared some mineral water for them to cleanse their mouths.

Ma Ye introduced: "This is Pu'er, and it is made with whole milk. If you are lactose intolerant, you can add soy milk."

"Then I want soy milk." Barley raised his hand.

Master Ma nodded and smiled, "No problem, I still have mare's milk."

Chen Mo looked strange, "Could this be because Mr. Xie's horse farm was crowded?"

He remembered that a foal was born at Xie Zhiyao's horse farm a few days ago.

Master Ma said proudly: "Yes, it is absolutely fresh."

Chen Nanxing's eyes lit up: "Then I want mare's milk. I've had too much cow's milk and soy milk, but I've never had mare's milk."

"No problem, where are Chen Mo and Hong Dou?"

"I'm fine with anything, as long as it's normal."

"me too."

After everyone finished drinking, they gave their comments.

Xu Hongdou said: "I personally prefer green plum tea, which has a milder sour taste."

Chen Mo said: "I still like the pure tea series, I don't like the ones that are too sweet."

Chen Nanxing said: "I like this one with pearls. I am used to chewing some small ingredients while drinking it, otherwise I always feel like something is missing."

Ma Ye proudly introduced: "Pearls are made of konjac flour, without brown sugar and corn flour. They are friendly to people who are losing weight and can help with constipation."

Chen Mo was delighted when he heard this: "These pearls are sugar-free? Why would you drink milk tea if you want to lose weight?"

"Alas, that's wrong." Master Ma shook his head slightly.

"Cola has sugar-free options, so why can't milk tea have sugar-free options?"

Chen Mo was speechless. He felt that he was just deceiving himself.

Whether it is cola or milk tea, the essence of why people feel happy after drinking these is actually the intake of sugar.

What happiness can there be without sugar?
Sugar-free generally means no sucrose. Sweeteners like xylitol actually still produce a small amount of calories, but less than sucrose.

If you want to produce no calories at all, you have to add non-nutritive sweeteners such as saccharin, cyclamate, sucralose, etc.

Drinking sugar-free beverages in the short term may satisfy your appetite and control your weight.

But if you drink it for a long time, it may actually cause obesity.

Because sweetness may deceive the brain and make the body secrete insulin, which can easily cause endocrine disorders over time and make people fat.

If you drink a cup occasionally, it doesn’t make much difference whether it has sugar or not; if you drink it for a long time, you will gain weight regardless of whether it has sugar or not.

So if you really want to lose weight, just drink plain water when you’re thirsty, and don’t always think about drinking sugar-free drinks.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Existence proves that there is market demand."

Master Ma nodded and said, "That's right."

"Barley, what's your opinion?"

Barley blinked and said, "I think they are all delicious."

Master Ma said with a sigh, "Da Mai, as a writer, you can't be so poor in expression."

"I can only write, not speak. How about I write it for you?" Da Mai suggested.

"Okay then." Master Ma didn't force it.

Da Mai picked up his phone and started typing, sending out several long paragraphs:

What "Dianhong Pearl Milk Tea is a wedding of the aroma of time-fermented milk and the sweet taste of milk", "Osmanthus Oolong Tea, Osmanthus and Oolong are a natural pair and do not need any embellishment at all".

Finally, Damai also wrote a story about a nobleman and Cinderella for Pu'er soy milk.
Ma Ye was stunned. "Da Mai, are you writing a novel?"

Chen Nanxing also looked at it curiously and said: "The love between soy milk and Pu'er is not tolerated by the world."

Chen Mo laughed when he heard this and said, "Da Mai is writing a brand story for Master Ma."

Ma Ye's eyes lit up, "That's great, can Da Mai help me write a more complete story?"

Barley shook his head, "No."

"Ah?" Master Ma was stunned.

"We have to charge a fee. We are all members of society. There is no such thing as friendly manuscripts."

Barley said this seriously, then his expression changed and he smiled with crooked eyes: "But I can give you a friendly price."

Master Ma laughed and said, "Hey, I thought it was a small matter."

"No problem, it's a pleasure to work with you."

The waves are soaked in the setting sun, and the water dissipates for thousands of miles.

Listening to the sea water gently crashing against the shore, the seagulls soaring and crying, and the rustling wind, Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou walked hand in hand along the edge of Erhai Lake.

"Auntie, do you like the gift I gave you?" Chen Mo asked.

Yesterday was Liu Guiqin’s birthday, and Chen Mo selected a gift and sent it to her in advance.

"I like it. I am more satisfied with it than the one I gave you."

Xu Hongdou felt a little jealous when she thought of her mother laughing so hard that she couldn't stop.

Chen Mo knew that Liu Guiqin often went to dance square dance, so he asked someone to design several beautiful dance costumes for her.

There is no shortage of fashion designers in the entertainment industry, and compared to those red carpet dresses, this is a piece of cake.

It couldn't be easier to use better fabrics and simply design a few nice and novel styles.

This is enough to make Liu Guiqin the most eye-catching among the aunts, at least you can't find the same one on the Internet.

Xu Hongdou thought that her mother was probably now really like a mother-in-law looking after her son-in-law.

"Hehe, that's good." Chen Mo said happily.

"How do you always think of the right things to give?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously.

Last time it was Xu Jianguo’s birthday, Chen Mo gave him a fishing rod. Now Xu Jianguo uses it to go fishing whenever he has time.

This time, Liu Guiqin received the dance costume and wore it to dance every day.

It probably won’t be long before all her relatives and neighbors in her hometown know that she has a boyfriend.

Xu Hongdou was a little suspicious that Chen Mo gave it with this in mind, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that he gave something that could be taken out for socializing.

Chen Mo smiled proudly, "If you're not careful, how can your uncle and aunt trust you to me?"

"It turns out you have been planning this for a long time." Xu Hongdou glanced at Chen Mo.

"Of course." Chen Mo nodded in acknowledgement with a bright smile.

"Didn't I tell you that when I met you, I had already thought of the name of my future child."
