Shenhao starts with bragging about paying taxes

Li Tianyu: "What time is it tomorrow?"

Ai Baoquan: "Ten o'clock in the morning, start on time."

Li Tianyu: "Okay, then I will go there tomorrow."

Ai Baoquan: "When the time comes, wait for me in the lobby on the first floor, and I will take you there."

Since the Modu Central Building is an internal sales ceremony, not everyone can enter.

Only invited figures like Ai Baoquan can go unimpeded.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Tian Luoning shouted loudly: "Come in."

Several waiters opened the door and came in, pushing a small dining cart.

The small dining car is not loaded with food, but a variety of dazzling tea sets.

Because this is the Magic City Peace Hotel, in addition to Chinese tea, there is also English tea, which is a very authentic British black tea.

A waiter saluted everyone respectfully and asked, "What kind of tea do you all drink?"

Zhou Weijun chuckled: "To be honest, I prefer Central Plains tea to foreign tea."

Tian Luoning waved his hand: "If you don't worry about it, then you need both Central Plains tea and foreign tea."

Ai Baoquan laughed: "That's right, that's right, children only do multiple-choice questions."

Li Tianyu glanced at Ai Baoquan, thinking that you old boy really knows this well.

The colorful flags are fluttering outside, but the red flags at home are not falling.

Having a wife and children who are hot-headed is not at all in conflict with flirting.

Guo Jiangming rolled his eyes and said, "Young people like us like to get in touch with some western things. The British black tea at the Peace Hotel is quite famous. It would be a waste not to drink it."

Speaking of this, Guo Jiangming glanced at Li Tianyu: "Do you think so? Uncle Li."

Uncle Li Tianyu looked up at Guo Jiangming, then at Tian Jinpeng.

Tian Jinpeng really had a smirk on his face.

Obviously, this is what the two discussed.

Just don't know what the purpose is.

How could Li Tianyu be so stupid as to jump into the pit: "Nephew, then you are wrong, I really like drinking Central Plains tea."

Ai Baoquan immediately said: "Yes, you don't know yet, my brother Li is a master of tea ceremony."

When everyone heard it, they were very surprised.

Tea ceremony is not a popular thing among older people.

Few people even drink tea, let alone study the tea ceremony.

Guo Jiangming and Tian Jinpeng looked at each other, a little confused.

At this time, Guo Jiangming said again: "British black tea is also tea. Since Uncle Li is a master of tea ceremony, he must know a lot about it, right?"

Ai Baoquan waved his hand: "Can it be the same? Different cultures."

Zhou Ruiling also noticed that Tian Jinpeng and Guo Jiangming wanted to punish Li Tianyu.

In their eyes, Li Tianyu is the phoenix man, and it's a matter of minutes to embarrass him in public.

For example, this British black tea has a more formal drinking method.

What is this called?

British aristocracy.

Ordinary people in China do not have access to these, so they don't know how to drink them at all, and occasionally they drink them blindly.

Tian Jinpeng: "That's right. Most people don't understand British black tea. Even with our conditions, we can only drink it once in a while. By the way, it's authentic, not instant."

However, Li Tianyu suddenly said: "Mr. Ai, don't tell me, I do have some research on British black tea."

Guo Jiangming pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, you really have research? You are worthy of being a master of tea ceremony, then we really want to hear about your research results."

Li Tianyu walked to the dining car with a smile, glanced at the dining utensils on it, and nodded: "As expected of the Peace Hotel, just looking at the utensils, there is a British aristocratic flavor."

"laugh!"

Zhou Ruiling couldn't help laughing out loud.

Li Tianyu's rhetoric is too greasy, how can he look like a tea ceremony expert?

Tian Jinpeng: "I said, you didn't study for a long time, but you just studied some tea sets?"

Hearing that his son's words were not right, Tian Luoning scolded, "Why are you talking to your Uncle Li!?"

Li Tianyu waved his hand: "It's not my nephew Tian's fault, it's because I didn't make it clear."

The two sisters Zhou Ruiling and Zhou Ruijin couldn't help but smile at each other.

This Li Tianyu's words are really interesting.

Tian Jinpeng opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Uncle Li, Uncle Li yelled, this is really aggrieved.

The key point is that Li Tianyu is still making trouble with Tian Jinpeng all the time, he really wants to piss him off.

At this time, I only heard Li Tianyu continue to say: "Actually, this British black tea is not something special. In the past, there was no tea in the British Isles, and it was passed down from China."

Li Tianyu's tone of speech was light and casual, calm and breezy, as if lifting weights lightly.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

Of course, what Li Tianyu said just now is not unpopular knowledge.

Some people know it, but some people don't.

Zhou Ruijin: "It was spread in China? When was that? It must have been a long time ago, right?"

Li Tianyu shook his finger: "It's not too far away, probably from the Ming Dynasty, only a few hundred years."

Then, Li Tianyu continued talking.

And the next thing to say is more hardcore.

"During the Ming Dynasty, tea farmers in the Wuyi Mountain tea area of ​​Jiannan Prefecture invented the tea-making process of black tea, which is simply fermentation. This tea is called Lapsang Souchong in China."

"Later, in the 17th century, after the so-called Age of Discovery, Britain began to trade with all over the world. At that time, the Central Plains began to export tea to the British Isles."

Li Tianyu looked at the crowd and continued: "But the culture of afternoon tea in Britain started from Portugal. At that time, tea was a very precious product, only the nobles could enjoy it, so it became a status symbol."

Hearing this, Zhou Weijun said in surprise: "Yo, how do you know such details? You can't learn this, right?"

Tian Jinpeng's eyes widened: "You didn't just check Baidu, did you?"

Of course Li Tianyu knew.

His "tea ceremony master" ability is not only effective for Central Plains tea, but he has a very thorough understanding of tea culture in ancient and modern China and abroad.

Li Tianyu ignored Tian Jinpeng and continued: "About 1662, when Princess Catherine of Portugal married King Charles II of England, she brought more than 200 pounds of Lapsang souchong and some exquisite Central Plains tea sets in her dowry. It was not until then that black tea really began to be introduced into Britain, but only those at the court level were eligible to enjoy it."

At this time, Li Tianyu touched the gorgeous European-style teapot: "Because Lapsang Souchong tea is black, it is called Babsp;Tea by the British."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize why Ying's "Babsp;Tea" means black tea instead of black tea.

Of course Guo Jiangming was still unconvinced.

Li Tianyu has said so much, it's all just lip service, he just took the time to look it up on the Internet.

Guo Jiangming: "Uncle Li, after you have said so much, do you really know how to make British black tea? A tea ceremony master can't just rely on words, right?"

Li Tianyu: "Okay, since everyone has time, let's see how to make this British black tea, so that it is authentic."

After Li Tianyu said this, everyone's interest was raised.

Everyone is rich.

The definition of a rich person is not much different from that of an "idle person".

As long as you have money, you can buy time, mainly time to play around.

If someone rich seems busy, there are only two possibilities.

First, he is too ambitious and pursues a fast-paced life, which is self-inflicted.

Second, he is a "fake rich man", with a glamorous appearance, but in fact he has a lot of foreign debts, and he is busy tearing down the east wall and the west wall.

At this time, Li Tianyu signaled the waiter to open up a bit.

Among these waiters, one is a high-level waiter who specializes in live production for everyone, named Mike.

Although Mike has a Chinese face, he is a foreign Chinese, and he was invited by the Peace Hotel with a lot of money.

Hearing that Li Tianyu wanted to show off his skills, Mike persuaded: "Sir, are you sure you want to do it yourself? Authentic British black tea is very complicated."

Li Tianyu waved his hand: "Tea is similar in ancient and modern China and foreign countries. The method is not important. The important thing is to master the heat. I can handle it."

Tian Jinpeng: "Yes, let's see how Uncle Li makes British black tea."

Guo Jiangming: "Oh, you forgot one condition, that is authentic British black tea with delicious noodles."

Zhou Ruiling: "Brother Guo Jiangming, the two conditions you mentioned."

Guo Jiangming: ""

I saw Li Tianyu starting to play with those gorgeous European-style tea sets in the dining car.

At this time, Tian Jinpeng couldn't help but said: "Mike, you have to see clearly. If our Uncle Li makes a mistake, you have to remind him in time, so that this little elder won't get down."

Tian Luoning glared at Tian Jinpeng, but did not reprimand him again.

Everyone present felt that Li Tianyu was bragging, and would mess it up soon.

British black tea looks simple, but it is quite delicate to make, and sometimes it is almost impossible.

In fact, compared with Central Plains tea, European-style tea is much simpler.

To put it bluntly, with Li Tianyu's current level of tea ceremony, he can't even use one hand, and only needs four fingers to do it.

The utensils and raw materials here are all complete.

High-grade European-style black tea leaves, purified water, white sand grains, and fresh paper temperature sterilized milk.

I saw that Li Tianyu immediately began to operate.

He first poured pure water into the kettle, turned on the small European-style tea stove and started the fire.

He didn't stop to wait for it to boil, but put a cup of water in the gorgeous teapot, placed it next to the small tea stove, and changed the angle every ten seconds.

Zhou Ruiling couldn't help asking: "What are you doing? I don't know where to put the teapot?"

Li Tianyu was amused, and said: "Let this little master help me to answer."

"Little Master" refers to Mike.

Mike said in surprise, "Are you heating the teapot?"

Li Tianyu nodded.

At this time, everyone understood.

This is Li Tianyu, he is really an expert, he is meticulous in such small details.

Now let alone the so-called European-style black tea method in other places, even in the Peace Hotel, it is basically not so particular.

At this time, the water in the kettle was already boiling, making a "cuckoo" sound.

Li Tianyu flipped his hands, and saw several teacups placed on the dining table one after another as if they were part of his body, which was called a neat one.

Li Tianyu turned off the fire, took a teaspoon from the tea pot, and put it into a teacup.

Put a spoonful in each teacup, no more, no less, and there is almost no difference in quantity.

After this operation, Mike was shocked.

Too fast, too accurate.

Even his black tea waiter, who has been working for many years, is not so good.
