Charlie looked at Paul before he asked curiously," Paul, did you come to Oskia often previously?"
Paul shook his head before he smiled and said, "I only visit for business purposes occasionally but I've never stayed here for more than a week for each trip."
Charlie had a puzzled look on his face as he asked," Then, how do you know so much about tea, furniture, and wood?"
Paul smiled before he said, "It's mainly because my mother really likes these things. Therefore, I have already come into contact with these ever since I was a young child."
After that, Paul continued speaking, "Although I am mixed race and even though I resemble an American more, I am a downright Oskian down to my bones. I've been particularly influenced by my mother ever since I was a child. I especially love the culture, food, and traditions here." 6
"I see." 1
Charlie nodded slightly as he boiled some water for the tea. After that, he began to prepare the tea leaves that his father-in-law had been tricked into buying on WeChat. 6
After he was done brewing the tea, Charlie poured a cup of tea for Paul and himself before he smiled and
said, "Come, have a taste of my father-in-law's tea." 5
Paul thanked him before he nodded slightly. After that, he took the teacup on his hand before he placed i t at his lips and took a small sip.
The expression on his face turned a little weird immediately afterwards.
After tasting it for a long time, he said embarrassedly, " Uncle Wilson's taste in tea is really strange. To be honest, I really can’t taste anything good or special about this tea at all. Why is Uncle Wilson treating these tea leaves as his precious collection? Where did he get this tea from?"
At this time, Charlie immediately realized that Paul was indeed so much more knowledgeable about tea compared to his own father-in-law. 6
