He had barely brought the teacup near the tip of his nose when the fragrance rushed straight to his nose.
The tea was steaming. Looking down, Yu Daoyi saw the clear and translucent tea with a pure reddish-brown color, which was very beautiful.
"It's Gao Huo Tie Luohan," Yu Daoyi said inwardly.
He sniffed the fragrance of the tea and only took a sip when the fragrance surrounded the tip of his nose.
"Authentic," Yu Daoyi murmured without opening his mouth.
He had no choice. If he spoke while drinking the tea, he would probably be beaten to death by the intoxicated Ji Feng at the side.
The tea was mellow and mellow. When it entered the mouth, a light fragrance of medicine flowed into the mouth along with the soup, followed by a light and gentle fragrance of flowers. The combination of the two created an indescribable taste.
In the description of tea drinkers, the tea was soft but firm. It was soft but didn't lose the bony feeling of rock tea. The whole tea was mellow and soft. It was a tea that combined firmness and softness.
"The taste is really wonderful." Ji Feng squinted and drank up the tea in the cup unhurriedly.
"Indeed. The fragrance lingers in the mouth." Chu Xiao nodded his head and put down the teacup.
"Good tea," Zhou Shijie said.
"It's indeed good tea. But it lacks some taste when I make it," Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
"It does indeed lack some of the aftertaste of sweetness." Without waiting for the others to answer, Ji Feng took over the conversation and said seriously.
Only Ji Feng could answer. Yuan Zhou's tea skills were beyond Zhou Shijie's expectation. Naturally, he wouldn't say that Yuan Zhou's tea skills were bad. No matter how mean he was, he had never doubted Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.
Only Ji Feng, who wasn't in the culinary circle or had nothing to do with the culinary circle, could point at Yuan Zhou's first-class tea skills and say that he wasn't good enough and hadn't reached the super-first-class level.
That made the others at the table speechless. Even Yu Daoyi, who didn't understand the world, was speechless.
No one in the whole country could surpass Ji Feng's tea skills. According to Ji Feng's standard, it was really absurd.
"Yuan is good at cooking," Zhou Shijie said helplessly.
Ji Feng nodded and said, "I know, but the art of tea and cooking require 120% effort."
"Master Ji is right. I'm really not proficient in the art of tea." Yuan Zhou also nodded seriously. "I still need Master's guidance."
Ji Feng said, "That's easy, but how much you learn will depend on yourself."
Yuan Zhou thanked him.
This time, Zhou Shijie had nothing to say to these two people who had no self-awareness.
Yuan Zhou was less than 30 years old, yet he had such top-notch culinary skills and a first-class tea art. This was already very impressive. How could he still act as if he had shallow knowledge? This kind of grievance made everyone present feel uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Chu Xiao suddenly felt that he seemed to know too little and was somewhat inadequate. As Yuan Zhou's lifelong rival, Chu Xiao felt that he should increase his knowledge.
Therefore, the atmosphere became silent again.
In the end, Yu Daoyi broke the silence and said, "Have some snacks."
"Try this," Zhou Shijie said.
"Okay." Ji Feng nodded, then picked up a piece of lemon and ate it.
The lemon was very sour, but it had been soaked in sugar. It tasted sweet and sour, and it immediately neutralized the residual fragrance of the tea in the mouth. The combination of the two made the mouth feel fresh.
It also made people feel refreshed.
"There are many varieties of Wuyi rock tea. Other than the two main varieties and the traditional five famous clusters, there are hundreds of cultivated varieties and cultivated clusters. It can be said to be innumerable." Ji Feng ate a piece of lemon and started talking about tea.
"Indeed, the government of Wuyi Mountain stipulated that all the rock tea in Wuyi Mountain belongs to Da Hong Pao, so the Iron Arhat cluster naturally belongs to Da Hong Pao. Therefore, people now call the Iron Arhat Da Hong Pao of Wuyi Mountain, "Zhou Shijie nodded and said.
"But the tea in the market is still uneven, and it is difficult to distinguish the good from the bad. But the tea here is good." Yu Daoyi raised his teacup and said.
"The tea for this tea party is picked in the spring and only 3 to 4 leaves are picked. After sun-drying, cooling, stir-frying, initial kneading, re-stir-frying, re-kneading, water roasting, winnowing, spreading, picking, re-roasting, winnowing again, and adding fire, the tea is made strictly according to the craftsmanship of Tie Luohan." Yuan Zhou explained the process of making the tea leaves in detail.
"You can tell that Boss Yuan put in a lot of effort." Ji Feng nodded. A serious and capable person like Yuan Zhou, even if he was not good at socializing, would leave a good impression.
"Don't mention it. Master Ji, please make the next tea," Yuan Zhou said as he stood up and made way.
"Okay." Ji Feng did not stand on ceremony and directly nodded.
Seeing such good tea, it would be strange if a tea master did not want to make the tea himself. Therefore, Ji Feng was not modest at all.
Even though Yu Daoyi was also good at making tea, he had said that he would be playing the guqin today.
On the other side, Yuan Zhou's table was enjoying the tea and talking about the culture of tea.
On the other side, they also began to taste the tea. The tea was so good that even Grandfather Ling could not bear to let Ling Hong drink it.
"What are you drinking? What a waste." Grandfather Ling glared.
"If I don't drink it, you won't be able to take it away," Ling Hong said impatiently.
"That's true." Grandfather Ling instantly became listless.
"It is indeed fragrant." Ruan Xiaoqing held the teacup and smiled with her eyes squinted.
"Right? There is nothing bad in Boss Yuan's restaurant," Ling Hong immediately added.
"Indeed. It would be great if I could finish all the dishes on Boss Yuan's menu in my lifetime," Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.
"That would be difficult. After all, Boss Yuan is still producing new dishes." Ling Hong did not hear clearly and thought that Ruan Xiaoqing was talking about eating all the dishes on Yuan Zhou's menu.
Ruan Xiaoqing did not want to repeat herself. She pouted and said, "That's a pity."
"It's okay. You can come here every day. As long as Boss Yuan is old, you can eat until you are old. As long as the Earth doesn't explode and the restaurant doesn't close, you will finish all the dishes," Ling Hong suggested as he stroked his hair.
"That's a good idea." Ruan Xiaoqing nodded.
"Xiaoqing, you come to the restaurant every night and go back late. Do you mind if someone sends you back?" Ling Hong continued.
Ruan Xiaoqing was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Usually, I go back with my two sisters at night."
"Oh, that's good." Ling Hong did not mention this again.
Compared with Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing, the atmosphere at the table of Wuhai and Hang Tian was much more harmonious. That was because Wuhai was really greedy for tea.
He had already finished four plates of pastries with a cup of tea. Although he couldn't have more pastries, it was enough to fill his stomach.
Wuhai was eating noisily while Hang Tian and Director Lin, who were not familiar with each other, chatted enthusiastically.
By the way, Director Lin was not a director but a section chief in the past. He was promoted when the previous director retired. Yuan Zhou played a part in it. However, only Director Lin and the leaders in the team knew the details. Anyway, Yuan Zhou did not know.
"This is just Oolong Tea. The tea before the Ching Ming Festival is also very good. How about it? Brother, do you want to make a pot of it yourself?" Director Lin asked with a smile.
"No, it's okay. I just want to drink it. I can cook, but I'm not good at making tea. Don't waste the good tea leaves." Hang Tian waved his hand hurriedly and said.
"Okay. I won't force you. I'll do it." Director Lin nodded readily.
Wuhai nodded without saying anything. His eyes were fixed on the snacks that went with the green tea. Eating was the way of the king.
The grandpa and his friend, Wang Shuyuan, were also drinking tea in harmony.
