"If I remember correctly, there are still five hours before the tea party begins. These people are really early." Yuan Zhou silently estimated the time and then said.
"Fortunately, I have finished my exercise." Yuan Zhou silently tidied up the Han Chinese clothing and then carefully looked at himself in the mirror.
Because it was a formal occasion today and he needed to make tea, Yuan Zhou was actually dressed very casually. He was wearing a cross-collared shirt with a white top and a blue bottom. On his feet was a pair of cloth boots given by Yin Ya, which matched well.
This time, the pattern was not shown at the collar position. The cross-collared part was made in the same color as the lower skirt, and then a white collar could be seen on the pure white shirt inside.
The side pocket was tied very tightly, and the waist belt was the same color as the dark lotus leaf pattern on the chest of the shirt.
The lower skirt was made of soft grayish-blue hemp, which was very soft to wear.
Yuan Zhou's personality was as strict as ever. The center of the shirt, the pleats of the lower skirt, and the middle seam of the back were all neatly arranged without a trace of disorder.
"Shua", Yuan Zhou reached out to touch the cuffs and then nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, this daily dress could be matched with a hand-embroidered cloak, but obviously it was not needed today.
"Dadada Ta", Yuan Zhou walked up the stairs to the backyard step by step.
A lot of people had already gathered there, such as Engineer Cheng and his daughter, Zhou Jia and Shin Min, and Director Lin who came to help spontaneously.
Director Lin didn't treat himself as an outsider at all. He was busy happily, either wiping the table with Zhou Jia and Shin Min or arranging the tables and chairs with Engineer Cheng.
The distance between each table, chair, and bench had been precisely measured. There was not the slightest bit more, and the spacing was exactly the same.
And now, Engineer Cheng was making the final adjustment with his daughter and Director Lin who came in from time to time.
However, there was another person in the yard, and that was Yin Ya.
Yin Ya didn't have work today. After hearing that Yuan Zhou was going to hold a tea party, she mentioned it while drinking and came to help.
As soon as Yuan Zhou entered the door, he saw Yin Ya arranging some flowers and plants.
Today, Yin Ya was wearing a floor-length dress. It was a lotus-colored long-sleeved dress with a wide hemline. When she walked, the embroidered cherry blossoms on the hemline fluttered in the wind, giving off an ethereal feeling. It was very beautiful.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Yuan Zhou had seen Yin Ya wearing such a fairy-like dress. After all, when Yin Ya came, Yuan Zhou was still upstairs tidying up his appearance, so he did not see it immediately.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhou saw Yin Ya like this, he was very amazed.
"Teacher's father." Cheng Ying was the first to notice Yuan Zhou's arrival and immediately greeted him.
"Master." Then, Engineer Cheng immediately stood still and greeted Yuan Zhou when he saw him.
"Hello, boss." Zhou Jia and Shin Min also said in unison.
"Boss Yuan is very spirited today." Director Lin stretched out his thumb and made a gesture with a smile.
And Yin Ya raised her head to look at Yuan Zhou and then said, "Good morning."
"Good morning, everyone." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Master, we are almost done here. Is there anything else that needs to be improved?" Engineer Cheng said.
While talking, Engineer Cheng had already taken Yuan Zhou around the small yard and introduced the arrangements they made today to Yuan Zhou one by one.
"It's very good." Yuan Zhou stood still and said.
"As long as you are satisfied, master." Engineer Cheng smiled and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Seeing that the business was done, before anyone else could say anything, Director Lin moved to Yuan Zhou's side and said flatteringly, "Boss Yuan, what tea leaves are the main characters today?"
When Director Lin spoke, his eyes were eagerly looking at the tea sets on the table. It was as if he wished he had X-ray vision so that he could directly see the tea leaves inside.
At the same time, he felt a little resentful in his heart. Why was the tea can so well sealed? Not even the slightest smell of tea leaked out. It was really a pity.
"Didn't you open it for him to see?" Yuan Zhou did not answer Director Lin, but turned to look at Engineer Cheng and asked.
However, before Master Cheng could answer, Bureau Chief Lin interrupted him. Bureau Chief Lin quickly waved his hand and said, "That won't do. You can't open it. If you open it, the smell will disperse. It would be a pity."
"That's exactly why," Engineer Cheng said helplessly.
"Director Lin is a tea lover," Yuan Zhou said.
"That's for sure." Hearing Yuan Zhou's words, Director Lin nodded proudly as if he had received some praise. Then he asked, "What tea did Boss Yuan prepare today?"
"A serving of Oolong tea and a serving of green tea," Yuan Zhou said.
"Is it the Qingqian Tea that I was lucky enough to drink last time?" Director Lin asked while looking at the green tea box on the table with his eyes shining.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"That's really lucky. I can actually have such a tea with me for a day," Director Lin said with satisfaction.
"No, you can drink it," Yuan Zhou said.
"Really?" Director Lin was not young, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but jump up. He was so happy as if he had won five million yuan.
"Of course, it's all thanks to your hard work." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Hehe, that's great. Come on, Engineer Cheng, I think the tables and chairs can be wiped again." Director Lin smiled foolishly. Then he suddenly pulled Engineer Cheng up and ran away energetically, saying such words while running.
"What is Oolong tea?" Just when Yuan Zhou saw the two running away, a clear and beautiful female voice came.
At the same time, there was also a faint fragrance on Yin Ya's body. The fragrance was not the smell of perfume, but the smell of shower gel and shampoo after daily cleaning. The faint sweet smell was very comfortable.
"Do you want to try it?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"No, I'm just curious." Yin Ya didn't like drinking tea, so she shook her head and said.
"Will you stay for tea today?" Yuan Zhou asked casually.
"I will stay to help," Yin Ya said.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded and was about to say something, but he was called away by Engineer Cheng.
The reason was that the national treasure tea master invited by Engineer Cheng had arrived.
"Dadada," Yuan Zhou walked a few steps and suddenly turned back to Yin Ya and said, "It's Iron Luohan."
"What?" Yin Ya tilted her head and asked in puzzlement.
"Oolong tea is Iron Luohan," Yuan Zhou said again.
"Um." Yin Ya pursed her lips into a smile and nodded.
Seeing that Yin Ya understood, Yuan Zhou turned around and continued walking this time.
"What's going on?" Yuan Zhou stood in front of Engineer Cheng and asked seriously.
"Master Ji arrived ahead of time. He said that he had parked in the parking lot of Taoxi Road," Engineer Cheng said.
"Then go open the door and wait for Master Ji at the door," Yuan Zhou said and walked out first.
"Okay, master." Engineer Cheng nodded and followed behind Yuan Zhou.
"Master Ji? Master Ji Feng? " Director Lin repeated the name with a dumbfounded face. This was too exaggerated. Even Ji Feng was invited.
Then, Director Lin also ran to the door excitedly. He didn't get the news before. Those who got the news had the same reaction as Director Lin.
How could those who loved tea and drank tea not know the famous Master Ji? It was just like those who liked Hayao Miyazaki's anime didn't know Rang Hisaishi.
