Although there were 20 invitations, they weren't all sent out. Or rather, there weren't many unfamiliar faces invited.
Grandfather Ling, the grandpa whom he had met a few times, and Ling Hong and the other two walked toward the store together.
Ling Hong was still as ostentatious as before. Dressed in a white suit, he followed behind his grandfather with his hair bristling.
When the three of them arrived downstairs, they happened to meet Wu Shou who was also going downstairs.
Today, Wuhai wasn't dressed in casual clothes and cotton slippers. Instead, he was dressed formally in a dark blue striped suit and a dark purple shirt. His pale skin could be seen through the open collar and his mustache was neatly combed.
Wuhai looked like an artist with the temperament of Eaves Wu. Even Zhou Xi, who was following behind him, couldn't get used to looking at Wuhai from time to time.
It couldn't be helped. When Zhou Xi got to know Wuhai, Wuhai had been wearing casual clothes every day. It was the first time that Zhou Xi had seen Wuhai dressed up so seriously.
Zhou Xi believed that Wu Shou was a true master. He could wear slippers and also a suit and shirt.
"You look like a decent man," said Ling Hong.
"You are also not bad." Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and retorted naturally.
Just when Ling Hong wanted to continue, the sound of Dadada's high-heeled shoes interrupted Ling Hong's words.
It was Ruan Xiaoqing, who was specially invited by Yuan Zhou.
Ruan Xiaoqing was not wearing sportswear today. She was wearing a thick, thin plaid skirt with a strappy white shirt inside. Her slender, jade-like calves were exposed. She was wearing a pair of light brown nude boots. Her hair was cut to the length of her neck. She looked very delicate and beautiful.
"Xiaoqing, you're here too," said Ling Hong in a gentle voice, no longer as frivolous as before.
Except for Wuhai who didn't react as usual to Ling Hong, the others looked at Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing subconsciously.
"Mm." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded and did not say anything else.
Speaking of which, Ling Hong had been much more stable recently. The number of times he bickered with Wuhai had decreased, especially after Ruan Xiaoqing said that her ideal type was a mature man.
They stood at the entrance of the Yuanzhou shop and waited for the reporters to finish asking questions about Zhou Shijie and Ling Hong.
Of course, they were also protected by the people arranged by Chen Wei. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to squeeze in.
When they arrived at the entrance, they exchanged greetings with each other. Even the most impatient Wuhai answered them patiently. Then, they entered the shop under the guidance of Engineer Cheng.
Of course, Bureau Chief Lin, who had been eagerly waiting, had already followed Master Ji Feng into the door, like a little fan meeting his idol.
Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou was dutifully waiting at the door to welcome them.
The rest of the people arrived one after another. Among them, Zhang Yan came with his daughter. Hang Tian also came in advance. The small courtyard was already bustling with noise and excitement.
Of course, the moment Zhang Yan's daughter arrived, she secretly searched for Jiang Changxi. She only gave up when she couldn't find her.
The tea party was supposed to start at 1 pm, but all the people had arrived at noon.
After everyone was led in by Engineer Cheng, Yuan Zhou stood at the entrance of the shop and said, "Thank you for coming, but this tea party is private. I won't be inviting you in."
Before the reporters could object or say anything else, Yuan Zhou continued, "See you next time."
After saying that, Yuan Zhou nodded slightly. Then, he went back into the shop and decisively closed the door.
Looking at the closed door of The Kitchen God again, the reporters didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, they were somewhat helpless. With the previous example, no one dared to challenge the Queuing Committee, especially the president.
Moreover, they couldn't afford to offend Yuan Zhou, who had two Guardian Martial Souls, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan.
Those who played dirty couldn't defeat the president. Those who played fair, the Chinese Association and the Sichuan Association should know each other.
Fortunately, all the people who could be interviewed had been interviewed, so they didn't return empty-handed.
The reporters knew that the interview was over. Then, Chen Wei began to arrange the people he brought to send the reporters away one by one.
After leaving the outside affairs to Chen Wei, Yuan Zhou directly walked into the sergestes wall view door.
The tea party was about to start officially.
When Yuan Zhou walked into the sergestes wall view door, the people in the yard instantly quieted down.
"Dadada," Yuan Zhou calmly walked straight to the stone table in the front, where Zhou Shijie, Yu Daoyi, Chu Xiao and that Master Ji Feng were sitting.
And Yuan Zhou's seat was also arranged there. This seat was added later. Originally, there were only four stone stools at the stone table, but in order to make tea more convenient, a tea table and a chair were added, so that it was convenient for the person making tea to sit.
The seat that Yuan Zhou was going to now was the seat for making tea.
And the others sat on the chairs facing Yuan Zhou one by one, even Wu Hai was sitting there obediently.
"Thank you all for coming today, thank you." Yuan Zhou bowed slightly to express his gratitude first, and then Engineer Cheng, who stood behind Yuan Zhou, also bowed.
As for the others, they waved their hands, indicating that they didn't need to care about it. It was a blessing for them to be able to come. Only Hang Tian was a little shocked.
He also knew Master Cheng. Therefore, there was nothing he didn't know about Master Cheng's current behavior. He was bowing to Master Cheng just like Yuan Zhou.
"It seems that it's time for me to retire. Even Engineer Cheng has become Head Chef Yuan's disciple." Hang Tian sighed with emotion again in his heart.
"Today, we have prepared two kinds of tea. The green tea is Pre-Ming Longjing Tea and the oolong tea is Iron Luohan from Da Hong Pao Tea. Besides that, we have prepared four kinds of pastries for you to drink," while speaking, Yuan Zhou gestured to everyone to look at the table.
There was a tea set on each table, and apart from the complete set of tools used to make tea, there were also two small bamboo boxes on the side. These tea boxes were sealed tightly, one with green and the other with black. It was very clear that these tea boxes were well sealed.
Besides these, there were also four plates of pastries on the side of the tea table. Such plates were placed on everyone's seat.
There were a total of eight small palm-sized plates. On the right were some different flavors of pastries to go with the oolong tea. There was a plate of marinated lemon slices, a plate of beautiful plain steamed dumplings with butterfly, a western-style fruit pie, and a few tea jellies made of various kinds of tea powder. The tea jellies were red, white, brown, and green in four colors.
Obviously, these were also made of four kinds of tea leaves.
Seeing these four tea jellies, as people who knew Yuan Zhou well, Chief Lin and the grandpa felt a toothache.
It couldn't be helped. After all, Yuan Zhou had a history of cooking tea eggs with Keemun black tea.
On the other side were sweet pastries to go with green tea. They were also placed on four palm-sized plates.
There was a plate of three pieces of meat, a plate of two pieces of red date cake, and green rabbit dumplings made of water chestnut powder, sugar, and condensed milk. There was also a dragon ball sesame roll, which was crispy fried with dragon ball flower tea leaves. It was made of lean meat, shrimp, carrots, and other fillings wrapped in glutinous rice skin and rolled into a "Japanese" shape. Then, it was swept with egg yolk, sesame, and dragon ball flower tea leaves, and fried in a pot until it was golden brown. The tea leaves were embedded in the skin, and they were crispy and fragile. They looked very delicious.
These were strictly in accordance with the ancient method of sweet with green, sour with red, and oolong.
When it came to tea and pastries, Yuan Zhou was very confident.
Not only did his tea party need good tea, but the pastries also had to be good.
This was also the reason why Wuhai didn't make a fuss when they knew about the tea party. There were tea and pastries to go with the tea party. It was better to eat less than nothing.
"Then the tea party officially begins," Yuan Zhou said loudly.
