Chapter 1375 - Not good at

With Yuan Zhou’s announcement, the Tea Party officially started. Master Cheng also stood up and started to speak.

“Today’s Tea Party is private. The tea sets prepared represent that everyone can make their own tea.” Master Cheng repeated this sentence at every seat very seriously.

When the grandpa at the remaining three tables heard that, he smiled and immediately occupied the position to make tea. Good tea was not only to be drunk, it was also a blessing to be able to make it himself.

As for Ling Hong’s table, needless to say, it was naturally grandfather Ling who took the seat.

As for bureau chief Lin’s table, it was naturally him, who had just been promoted from Section Chief to bureau chief, because hang Tian had no intention of making tea, and Zhang Yan also just wanted to drink tea.

Very quickly, everyone was in their positions and began to wash the cups.

At that time, Cheng Cheng, Yin ya, Zhou Jia, and Shen Min started to get busy.

After all, the water for washing the tea and cups had to be personally brought over by them.

During the process, Yuan Zhou wanted Yin ya to sit down and drink tea, but she didn’t agree. Instead, she just helped to get water and pour it for him seriously.

Something happened to the people at Yuan Zhou’s table.

“I’ll make tea. ” Ji Feng spoke with a serious tone.

Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Ji Feng.

“Isn’t that why you invited me here?” Ji Feng continued.

“I’ll be the first one. After all, you’re all our guests. ” Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to get up from his seat and just said lightly.

“Alright,” he said. “Yes.” Ji Feng nodded his head seriously and sat down.

At the mention of tea, Ji Feng would become very old-fashioned. Just like earlier, his words seemed to be very impolite, but once there was a legitimate reason, Ji Feng would decisively obey.

He was different from Lee Yanyi on this point. Lee Yanyi would insist on his own opinion even if you had a good reason. He was very subjective and mean. Many times, when he tasted the dishes, he could even make the restaurant owner cry.

Of course, when facing Yuan Zhou, Lee Yanyi would restrain himself a lot.

Yuan Zhou’s old-fashioned way was that when faced with different reasons, he would argue with reason. If the other party had a reason, he would listen to it. But if the other party didn ‘t, he would insist.

Judging from that, Yuan Zhou’s character was somewhere between Lee Yanyi and Ji Feng.

“Master Ji is really serious about the tea.” Zhou Shijie said to ease the atmosphere.

“Of course, just like how head chef Yuan treats the refreshments,” Ji Feng nodded his head and said naturally. After a pause, he continued,””This is the best pastry I’ve ever seen.”

Ji Feng didn’t like to praise people, but he had to praise the exquisite refreshments in front of him. He had drunk a lot of tea and had also eaten a lot of refreshments. However, Yuan Zhou’s refreshments had already surpassed most people in terms of appearance.

“Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship is indeed reflected in all aspects.” Chu Xiao also nodded and said.

“Little friend Yuan’s craftsmanship is really good. I have also experienced it.” Yu daoyi also nodded in agreement.

“Thank you for the compliment. Let’s start the tea.” Yuan Zhou said.

“I’m not good at making tea. I hope you don’t mind. ” Yuan Zhou said while washing the cups.

“You have something you’re not good at?” Chu Xiao asked with rapt attention.

“Of course, there are still many things I’m not good at.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“It’s already very good to be able to do one thing to the top. ” Chu Xiao said with a seemingly comforting tone.

Yu daoyi, Zhou Shijie, and Ji Feng didn’t say anything.

Zhou Shijie was used to Yuan Zhou saying that he wasn’t good at cooking and then saying that he cooked very well. On the other hand, Yu daoyi’s personality was like that. His attention was all on the tea leaves now and he couldn’t distinguish anything else.

Like Yu daoyi, Ji Feng was also looking at Yuan Zhou seriously.

“It’s already past noon, and I’m sure everyone hasn’t had lunch yet. Green tea is easy to hurt your stomach and make you hungry on an empty stomach. So, I’ll start with oolong tea, which is suitable for afternoon tea.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou directly opened the tea box with red words written on it.

This tea box was very small, so small that it could only hold 50 grams of tea leaves. However, when the lid was opened, the unique fragrance of the oolong tea was still revealed.

The faint and strong fragrance slowly entered the nose of the people sitting down.

The tea leaves in the box were of the color of sandalwood, and the ropes were tied tightly and evenly. Overall, the ropes were long, thick, strong, and very beautiful.

“Good tea.” Ji Feng’s eyes burned as he looked at the tea box, and his expression became serious.

“The taste is not bad.” Yu daoyi’s eyes were also shining.

“It is indeed a good tea, but old Daoist Yu, you said that you would play the zither to liven things up?” Zhou Shijie looked at Yu daoyi and asked with a smile.

“What’s so difficult about playing the zither? once I see little friend Yuan’s tea brewing skills, I’ll immediately play a song to liven up the mood. ” Yu daoyi said as he stroked his short beard.

“Then don’t forget.” Zhou Shijie reminded him.

“Of course I won ‘t, I always keep my word.” When Yu daoyi called himself an old Daoist, it was when he was very happy. He didn’t know where he learned it.

“That’s good,” After Zhou Shijie said that, he looked at Yuan Zhou and then went to make tea.

As for Yu daoyi, he didn’t miss a single thing during the entire conversation.

It was no wonder that Zhou Shijie specially brought up the matter of playing the zither. This matter had to start from the vegetarian banquet yesterday.

Yu daoyi, who never surfed the internet, heard others talking about Yuan Zhou’s Tea Party when he came to eat the vegetarian banquet. As soon as he asked Yuan Zhou about it, he immediately requested to attend.

Moreover, in order to persuade Yuan Zhou to let him participate, he even said that he was good at playing the zither and could liven up the Tea Party.

In Dao Yi’s own words, it was: “Poems, wine, flowers, and tea are all elegant things, and elegant things naturally have to be matched with elegant music. It just so happens that I play the zither quite well.”

“Boss Yuan, don’t you think drinking tea and listening to the zither is a nice thing to do?” Just like that, Yu daoyi convinced Yuan Zhou. At the same time, Zhou Shijie gained a new understanding of the thickness of Yu daoyi’s skin.

As a Daoist priest, Yu daoyi was really noble and virtuous. Not to mention recommending himself to play the zither, someone had offered him a lot of money to play a song, but he rejected it without even looking at it.

That desireless look was the same as when he said that good food was just a desire for the stomach before he came to the restaurant to eat.

Zhou Shijie reminded him so that Yuan Zhou’s Tea Party could be more complete, because Yu daoyi played the zither very well.

“In order to show the skeletal feel of this tea, I brewed it with a 120 ml covered bowl.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Pour eight grams of tea leaves into each bowl.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou picked up a pinch of tea leaves with the wooden clip and added them into the White porcelain bowl one by one.

Moreover, the number of tea leaves in each bowl was the same. This was the performance of Yuan Zhou’s steady hands.

“The water’s boiling to 100 degrees Celsius. I’ll make some tea now.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he picked up the small teapot with his right hand and started to make tea.

The water filling method used by Yuan Zhou was the wall filling method, which was fast and accurate.

“Peng, Peng, Peng” Yuan Zhou quickly covered the cup and poured out the tea immediately. The whole process was controlled by Yuan Zhou within five seconds.

“Your hands are fast and steady, and your timing is very good.” Ji Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“Indeed. If it’s too slow, the tea will be bitter.” Yu daoyi also nodded.

“Little Yuan’s tea-making skills are much better than when he treated that old man Colin to a cup of tea last time.” Zhou Shijie said.

“Yes, I’ve specially trained for it.” Yuan Zhou didn’t try to hide anything and said directly.

“Although he’s not the best, he’s fast and has a good smell. He’s also good at quantity. He’s already the best among the younger generation.” Ji Feng’s expression had also calmed down as he spoke.

“Master is the most powerful.” Master Cheng couldn’t help muttering proudly in a low voice.

At the side, the most depressed person was Chu Xiao. Didn’t he say that he didn’t know how to do it and was not good at it?

Fortunately, Chu Xiao adjusted his state of mind very quickly. Yuan Zhou had always misunderstood the words “not good at it.”

“Everyone, please enjoy your meal.” Yuan Zhou placed the teacups in front of everyone one by one.

“Alright, then I won’t be polite.” Yu daoyi said as he lifted the teacup with both hands.

“Please,” he said. Yuan Zhou just reached out his hand and said.

Meanwhile, Zhou Shijie, Ji Feng, Chu Xiao and the others also raised their cups and started to taste the wine.

After all, drinking tea was all about quality.
