Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 445 The Qi Family Turmoil

It's important to know that not only the old man in the family, but everyone else in the household also had high hopes for this medicinal tea.

This is not just about losing a house.

Moreover, perhaps because they were confident, after the old man obtained Feng Qingqing's herbal tea recipe a few days ago, the older generation in the family couldn't wait to confirm the efficacy of the herbal tea made according to the recipe, and couldn't wait to show it off to some colleagues and friends.

Even he, a junior, had heard about these things.

Even more shockingly, her second uncle took a portion of the herbal tea that his grandfather was drinking—which his younger uncle had sent from the provincial capital—that was actually made by Feng Qingqing herself, and brewed it for those they valued to taste.

The old man was somewhat reluctant, worried that his homemade herbal tea wouldn't be finished by the time he finished drinking it.

But after his second uncle's repeated assurances, he still agreed to give out a portion.

The old man was well aware of his children's and grandchildren's thoughts, and he was naturally pleased to see it happen.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get Feng Qingqing's prescription.

Now that the project is almost complete, it's understandable that their children and grandchildren are eager to get started.

On this day, under the watchful eyes of the entire family, the medicinal tea, which had been prepared for many days and had taken a great deal of effort from the family, was finally completed.

To ensure that the herbal tea recipe is not resold, they have put a lot of thought into the details of its preparation.

Even if the quantity produced is small, it is essential to ensure that the herbal tea recipe remains in the hands of one's own family.

Currently, within the family, there are no more than a handful of people who have full authority over the prescription.

This way, the recipe can be kept secret to the greatest extent possible.

They were well aware of the amazing effects of the herbal tea made with this recipe.

Once the herbal tea produced by his family is promoted to a wider extent and on a larger scale, there will definitely be people who want a piece of the pie.

After all, anyone can see the enormous profits involved.

Moreover, it's not just about economic gains; there are many more hidden benefits that cannot be measured in money.

Therefore, in making this medicinal tea, the entire family spared no expense or manpower, working together wholeheartedly to complete the recipe.

The medicinal tea, which they had high hopes for, was sent to the old man for tasting and verification as soon as it was made.

After all, when it comes to the family members who are most familiar with and knowledgeable about the taste and effects of herbal tea, no one else but the old man is the best choice.

The old man picked up the medicinal tea he had been eagerly anticipating, blew on the floating leaves, took a deep sniff, and exhaled after a moment.

But halfway there, the old man frowned.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt a pang of unease, wondering if something was wrong.

However, considering that the old man hadn't even taken a sip yet and things were still uncertain, they held their temper and continued to observe the old man's behavior.

At this moment, the old man also felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, he had been drinking this medicinal tea for quite some time.

He was extremely familiar with the domineering aroma that the herbal tea emitted after each brewing.

But for some reason, he didn't detect any familiar scent from that deep breath.

That's really strange.

It shouldn't be.

But he was a shrewd and experienced man, and worried that things might have gotten out of his control.

But he was a man of deep thoughts and did not show his worries on his face.

He continued to hold the cup of herbal tea with a calm expression.

After blowing on it again, he took a small sip under the watchful eyes of his children and grandchildren in the study.

Then he closed his eyes and savored it carefully.

He didn't open his eyes for a long time.

But the others nearby were getting impatient, with Uncle Qi being the most eager, speaking up rather impatiently:

"Dad, what exactly happened? Give me an explanation."

He's already spread the word that his family's herbal tea is plentiful.

Moreover, the effect remains unchanged.

If something unexpected happens, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Qi family?

Moreover, those people were all formidable individuals, carefully selected by him, who would later be of great help to his family.

They can't afford to offend people like that.

Let alone so many people, even just one or two would be more than the Qi family could handle.

Therefore, when Uncle Qi saw the old man's actions, he was so nervous that beads of sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead.

At the same time, there was also a hidden resentment in his heart.

At this point, why don't you hurry up and say something? Keeping us hanging like this is really making me anxious.

The old man probably sensed the anxiety in the hearts of the people in the room, and soon he opened his eyes again.

This time, however, his eyes were calm and undisturbed.

There wasn't a single emotion whatsoever.

Upon seeing this, Qi Ming, who had been standing to the side, thought to himself, "This is bad."

Ever since Feng Qingqing handed the prescription to Grandpa Qi, he has been in charge of handling the matter.

I also had several dealings with the old man.

This also shows how much importance the old man attaches to this matter.

If things had gone well, the old man would never have had that expression.

He thought for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke somewhat cautiously:

"Grandpa, is there something wrong with this herbal tea?"

If there really is a problem, it's not something that can't be adjusted.

Moreover, although there is a recipe, the final taste and efficacy of medicinal tea involve many factors.

This includes the tea's production season, the heat and time used during processing, and the quality of various medicinal materials involved, among many others.

It's not surprising if there are some discrepancies in the results.

The old man saw his eldest grandson and asked him the first question. Although he was somewhat cautious, judging from his expression, he probably didn't realize there was a problem.

He glanced at his children and grandchildren a few more times before letting out a deep sigh.

“There’s a huge problem. You should try it yourselves.”

This is truly a case of "hunting geese all day long, only to have one's eye pecked by a goose."

It seems that as people get older, their energy wanes, and even their caution diminishes.

Among the entire Qi family, not a single person raised any concerns about the possibility of a problem arising from the girl giving him the prescription so easily.

Many of them, including himself, were probably fooled by the girl's background.

Everyone felt that with such an ordinary background and family history, the girl would never dare to offend the Qi family.

Even though the Qi family wasn't particularly prominent in Beijing, targeting that girl's family would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Therefore, it was naturally unthinkable that the girl could cause any trouble under such a simple principle.

This also led to the tragedy of this incident.

Although he was old, he knew that his children and grandchildren had become a bit more flamboyant in their behavior recently because of this prescription.
