Chapter 1374: Exquisite tea and snacks
Although there were 20 invitations, not all of them had been sent out, or rather, not many new faces had been invited.
Then, grandfather Ling, the old man whom he had met several times, and Ling Hong walked into the restaurant together.
Ling Hong was still as ostentatious as before. He was wearing a white suit and following his grandfather with his hair bristling.
When the three of them went downstairs, they happened to see the crow coming downstairs as well.
Wu Hai wasnt wearing his home clothes and Cotton Slippers today. Instead, he was wearing a formal dark blue striped suit with a dark purple s.h.i.+rt. His pale skin could be seen through the open collar and his two small mustaches were well-groomed.
Such a Wu Hai was extremely artistic. Even Zhou Xi, who was following behind him, was not used to the temperament of eaves Wu and looked at Wu Hai from time to time.
It couldnt be helped. When Zhou Xi got to know Wu Hai, Wu Hai was always dressed in home clothes every day. He had an eccentric character from time to time. It was the first time for Zhou Xi to see Wu Hai dressed up so seriously.
Zhou Xi thought that this was a master who could wear slippers and also suit s.h.i.+rts.
Hes a decent man. Ling Hong said.
Youre alright too. Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and refuted him naturally.
Just when Ling Hong was about to continue his dissing, the sound of high heels broke his words.
It was exactly ruan Xiaoqing who was specially invited by Yuan Zhou.
Ruan Xiaoqing wasnt in sportswear today. She was wearing a thick plaid dress with a white s.h.i.+rt underneath, exposing her slender legs and a pair of light brown bare boots. Her hair was cut to neck length, and she looked very delicate and beautiful.
Little Qing is also here. Ling Hongs voice was mild, no longer as casual as before.
Apart from Wu Hai who didnt have any reaction as usual, the others all looked at Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing subconsciously.
Yes. Ruan Xiaoqing nodded and didnt say anything.
Speaking of which, Ling Hong had become much more mature recently. He even quarreled with Wu Hai less often, especially when ruan Xiaoqing said that her ideal type was a mature man.
They stood at the door of Yuan Zhous restaurant and waited for a while. Only after the reporter finished asking Zhou s.h.i.+jie and Ling Hongs questions did they go forward.
Of course, they were also protected by the people arranged by Chen Wei. Otherwise, they wouldnt be able to squeeze in.
When they arrived at the door, they naturally greeted each other. Even Wu Hai, who was the most impatient among them, answered him patiently. Then, he entered the restaurant under the guidance of master Cheng.
Of course, chief Lin, who had been looking forward to it, had already followed Ji Feng and master Ji into the door like a fan who had seen his idol.
Yuan Zhou, however, was waiting at the door to welcome the guests.
The remaining people arrived one after another. Among them, Zhang Ji had come with his daughter, and hang Tian had also arrived in advance. The small courtyard was already bustling with activity.
Of course, the first thing Zhang Yans daughter did when she arrived was to search for Jiang Changxis location without leaving any trace. She only gave up after she didnt see her.
The Tea Party was supposed to start at one in the afternoon, but everyone had already arrived at noon.
After all the customers were led into the restaurant by master Cheng, Yuan Zhou stood at the main entrance of the restaurant and said,Thank you for coming, but this Tea Party is a private one, so I wont invite you in.
Without waiting for the reporters to object or say anything else, Yuan Zhou continued,Then, well meet again next time.
After Yuan Zhou said that, he slightly nodded his head to show his acknowledgment. Then, he returned to the restaurant and closed the door decisively.
Looking at the closed door of master chef Restaurant, the reporters didnt know whether to laugh or cry, but they were helpless. With the previous example, no one challenged the queuing Committee, especially the president.
Moreover, you cant offend Yuan Zhou, who has two martial souls protecting him, Zhou s.h.i.+jie and Zhang Yan.
It was impossible to beat the president if they played dirty. If they played straight, the Chinese and Sichuan a.s.sociations would have to understand.
Fortunately, he had interviewed everyone he could, so he did not return empty-handed.
The reporters knew that the interview had come to an end. Then, Chen Wei began to arrange for his men to send the reporters off one by one.
After leaving the matters outside the restaurant to Chen Wei, Yuan Zhou directly walked into the Sergestes wall landscape.
The Tea Party was about to officially begin.
When Yuan Zhou walked into the Sergestes wall landscape, the people in the courtyard instantly became quiet.
Ta ta ta. Yuan Zhou walked straight to the stone table in front of him, where Zhou s.h.i.+jie, Yu daoyi, Chu Xiao and Ji Feng, master Ji, were sitting.
Yuan Zhous seat was also arranged there. This seat was added later. Originally, there were only four stone chairs at the stone table, but in order to make tea more conveniently, a tea table and a chair were added.
The place Yuan Zhou was heading to was the place where the tea was made.
The others sat on the chairs facing Yuan Zhou one by one. Even Wu Hai was sitting there obediently.
Thank you for coming today. Thank you. Yuan Zhou first bowed slightly to express his grat.i.tude. Then, master Cheng, who was standing behind Yuan Zhou, also bowed.
The others all waved their hands to indicate that they didnt need to mind. It was a blessing to be able to come, and only hang Tian was a little shocked.
He also knew master Cheng. There was nothing he didnt know about master Chengs current style of doing things. He was bowing to Yuan Zhou, his master.
It seems that I should really retire. Master Cheng is already head chef Yuans disciple. Hang Tian sighed in his heart again.
Ive prepared two types of tea today. The green tea is pre-Ming Longjing tea, and the oolong tea is iron Arhat from Dahongpao. In addition, Ive prepared four-colored snacks to go with it. While saying that, Yuan Zhou signaled everyone to look at the table.
There was a tea set on each table. Besides the complete tools for making tea, there were two small bamboo boxes on one side. These well-sealed tea boxes were marked with the words green and black.
Other than these, there were four plates of desserts on the side of the coffee table, and such plates were placed in everyones seats.
There were a total of eight small palm-sized plates. On the right were some refreshments of different flavors to match with the oolong tea. There was a plate of marinated lemon slices, a plate of plain-colored b.u.t.terfly steamed dumplings, a Western-style fruit pie, and then a few pieces of tea powder made into tea jelly, which presented four colors of red, white, brown, and green. This combination would not overshadow the main dish.
Obviously, it was also made from four kinds of tea leaves.
When they saw the four tea jellies, director Lin and the grandpa, who knew Yuan Zhou well, felt their teeth ache.
Well, Yuan Zhou had a previous record of using Keemun black tea to cook herbal tea eggs.
On the other side, there were desserts with green tea, which were also served on four palm-sized plates.
There was a plate of three-slice meat, two-piece red date cake, and white Rabbit dumplings made with water chestnut powder, egg yolk, and condensed milk. There was also a Dragon Pearl sesame roll fried with Dragon Pearl Flower tea leaves, which was wrapped with glutinous rice with lean meat, shrimp, carrots, and other fillings in the shape of a . Then, white sugar, sesame, and Dragon Pearl Flower tea leaves were swept over, and it was fried until it was golden yellow. The tea leaves were inlaid on the outer skin, looking like stars, crisp and fragile, and looked very delicious.
These were all strictly in accordance with the ancient method of matching sweet with green, sour with red melon seeds with Black Dragon.
Yuan Zhou was quite confident when it came to the refreshments.
His Tea Party not only needed good tea, but also good refreshments.
This was also the reason why Wu Hai didnt make a fuss when he knew about the Tea Party. There were desserts and refreshments at the Tea Party. It was always better to eat less than nothing.
Then, the Tea Party will officially begin. Yuan Zhou said loudly.
[Ps: its the beginning of the month. Im a noob cat. Please give me a monthly ticket.]
