Chapter 1376: The two people without self-awareness
As soon as the teacup was placed near the tip of his nose, the fragrance had already rushed straight to his nose.
The tea was steaming, and when Yu daoyi looked down, he saw the clear and bright tea with a clear reddish-brown color. It was very beautiful.
Its the high fire iron Arhat. Yu daoyi thought.
He sniffed the aroma of the tea and waited for it to surround his nose before he took a sip.
Authentic. Yu daoyi didnt even open his mouth, but directly mumbled something.
He had no choice. If he were to drink this tea and speak, he would probably be beaten to death by Ji Feng who was intoxicated by it.
The tea was rich and mellow. When it first entered the mouth, a light medicinal fragrance entered the mouth along with the soup, followed by a light and gentle flower fragrance. The two combined together had an indescribable taste.
In other words, this tea was soft but also hard. It was soft but didnt lose the bone-like feeling of rock tea. It was a kind of tea that combined hardness and softness.
Its a wonderful taste, Ji Fengs eyes narrowed as he slowly finished the tea in the cup.
Indeed, its fragrant and my mouth is full of fragrance. Chu Xiao also nodded and put down the teacup.
Good tea. Zhou s.h.i.+jie said.
Its indeed a good tea, but its still lacking in flavor when brewed by me. Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
It does lack a bit of sweetness. Before anyone could reply, Ji Feng took over the conversation and spoke in a serious manner.
Only Ji Feng answered. Yuan Zhous tea-making skills had exceeded Zhou s.h.i.+jies expectations. Naturally, he wouldnt say that Yuan Zhous tea was not good. As for Lee Yanyi, no matter how sharp-tongued he was, he had never doubted Yuan Zhous craftsmans.h.i.+p.
Only Ji Feng, who wasnt in the cooking world or had nothing to do with the cooking world, could point at Yuan Zhous first-cla.s.s tea making skills and say that he wasnt good enough and hadnt reached the Super-first-cla.s.s level.
This made the people present speechless. Even Yu daoyi, who was the least popular, was speechless.
There was no one in the entire country who could suppress Ji Feng in terms of tea brewing skills. It was really strange to measure it according to Ji Fengs standards.
The cooking skills that little Yuan is good at, Zhou s.h.i.+jie said helplessly.
I know, but tea-making skills and cooking skills both require 120% of effort. Ji Feng nodded and then said.
Master Ji is right, Im not proficient in the art of tea. Yuan Zhou also nodded his head earnestly,I still need your guidance, master.
Sure, but how much you learn will depend on yourself, Ji Feng said.
Yuan Zhou expressed his grat.i.tude.
Well, Zhou s.h.i.+jie had nothing to say to these two people who had no self-awareness.
Yuan Zhou was less than 30 years old, yet he already had such excellent culinary skills and first-cla.s.s tea art. This was already very impressive. Why did he still appear to have such shallow knowledge? this kind of sullen feeling made everyone at the scene feel uncomfortable.
However, Chu Xiao suddenly felt that he seemed to have understood too little and was somewhat lacking. As Yuan Zhous lifelong opponent, Chu Xiao felt that he should recharge himself.
As such, the atmosphere fell silent again.
Have some snacks. Finally, Yu daoyi broke the silence.
Try this. Zhou s.h.i.+jie continued.
Alright, he said. Ji Feng nodded, then he picked up a slice of lemon and directly ate it.
The lemon was very sour, but it was coated with sugar on the outside. It tasted sweet and sour, which immediately neutralized the remaining tea fragrance in the mouth. The combination of the two actually made the mouth feel fresher.
It also raised everyones spirits.
There are many varieties of this Wu Yi Rock Tea. Other than the two main varieties and the traditional five famous cl.u.s.ters, there are hundreds of cultivated varieties and famous cl.u.s.ters. It can be said that there are too many to count. Ji Feng ate a piece of lemon and started to chat, talking about the tea.
Indeed, the government of Mount Wuyishan City has stipulated that all the rock tea on Mount Wu Yi belongs to Da Hong Pao, so the famous iron Arhat bushes naturally belong to Da Hong Pao. Thats why they call the iron Arhat Da Hong Pao of the iron Arhat of Mount Wu Yi. Zhou s.h.i.+jie nodded his head and said.
But the tea leaves on the market are still uneven, and its hard to tell the good from the bad. The tea here is good. Yu daoyi raised his teacup and said.
The tea for this Tea Party is picked in spring, and only three or four new branches with wide open leaves are picked. They are made in strict accordance with the process of iron Arhat. They are dried, cooled, made, fried, primary kneading, re-frying, re-kneading, baked in water, picked with a basket, spread to cool, picked, re-baked, re-baked, picked again with a basket, and added fire. Yuan Zhou explained the process of making the tea leaves in detail.
I can tell that boss Yuan has been very attentive in drinking it. Ji Feng nodded his head. For a serious and capable person like Yuan Zhou, even if he didnt know how to socialize well, he would still have a good impression of him.
Youre welcome. Let master Ji serve the next one. While saying that, Yuan Zhou stood up and made way for her.
Alright, he said. Ji Feng didnt stand on ceremony and directly nodded in agreement.
Seeing such a good tea, it would be strange if a tea art master didnt want to personally brew it, so Ji Feng didnt give in at all.
Even though Yu daoyi was also skilled in making tea, he had said that he would play the zither today.
On the other side, Yuan Zhous table started to eat the refreshments and chat about the culture of tea.
On the other side, they had also started to taste the tea. The tea leaves were so good that even grandfather Ling was reluctant to let Ling Hong drink them.
What are you drinking? its a waste. Grandfather Ling glared at him.
If I dont drink it, you wont be able to take it away. Ling Hong said unhappily.
It seems so. Grandfather Ling instantly wilted.
It is indeed very fragrant. Ruan Xiaoqing held the teacup and smiled.
Right? theres nothing bad in boss Yuans restaurant. Ling Hong shouted immediately.
Indeed. It would be great if I could eat all the dishes on boss Yuans menu in my lifetime. Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.
Thats probably difficult. After all, boss Yuan is still serving new dishes non-stop. Ling Hong didnt hear her clearly. He thought that ruan Xiaoqing meant that she had eaten all the dishes of Yuan Zhou and thus answered subconsciously.
Ruan Xiaoqing had no intention of repeating herself. She mumbled,Thats such a pity.
Its fine. You can come here to eat every day. As long as boss Yuan stays here until the end of the day, you can eat until the end. As long as the earth doesnt explode and the restaurant doesnt close, you will finish the food eventually. Ling Hong suggested while stroking his spiky hair.
Thats a good idea. Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
Xiao Qing, you come to the shop every night and go back a little late. Do you mind if someone sends you back? Ling Hong continued.
Ruan Xiaoqing was silent for a few seconds, then said,I usually go back with my two sisters at night.
Oh, oh, its pretty good. Ling Hong didnt mention it again.
Compared to Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing, the atmosphere at the table of Wu Hai and hang Tian was much more harmonious. It was because Wu Hai was really greedy for tea.
He had already finished four plates of refreshments with a cup of tea. Although he couldnt add any more refreshments, he was still full.
While Wu Hai was eating his food, hang Tian and bureau chief Lin, who were not familiar with each other, started to chat in full swing.
By the way, director Lin was not the director of the Bureau but the Section Chief. When the previous director retired, he was promoted. Yuan Zhou was also a part of the reason, but only director Lin and the leaders of the team knew the details. Anyway, Yuan Zhou didnt know.
This is only the oolong tea. The pre-Ming Tea will also taste very good. How about it, elder brother? do you want to make a pot of it yourself? Bureau chief Lin asked with a smile.
No need, no need. Ill just drink it. I can cook, but Im not good at making tea. Dont waste these good tea leaves. Hang Tian hurriedly waved his hand.
Alright, I wont force you. Ill do it. Bureau chief Lin nodded.
Wu Hai also nodded his head noncommittally. His eyes were only focused on the small desserts with the green tea. It was only right to have something to eat.
The old man and his friend, w.a.n.g Shuyuan, were also drinking tea in harmony.
