167 Jade Flute Who Listens to Falling Plum

However, Zhou Dong is a kind person, and it is not his habit to use this to attack. He just felt a little uncomfortable and felt a little angry. In fact, it was probably related to his illness, so he also said coldly: "Since Mr. Yuan gave the question, I won't choose it. Just give the question..."

"Hey, brother, why did you say that?"

Guo Qigang wanted to stomp his feet when he heard this. Who would have thought that Yuan Zidan was arrogant? Brother Zhou was even more arrogant. He gave up the opportunity to narrow the "exam range" so well?

Yuan Zidan looked at Zhou Dong and smiled slightly: "The King of Face is the King of Face. It seems that I have to come up with an earth-shaking problem before I can complete it..."

Yuan Zidan laughed and walked out of the water pavilion. Then he didn't appear for more than half an hour.

Lao Guo felt relieved and couldn't help but gusting: "Brother, I see Mr. Yuan's mysteriousness. He is not going to think of some tricks to make things difficult for you, right?"

Teacher Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Gangzi, you are a mystery to the authorities. You don't think about who Zhou is? The big one is the king of Chinese faces, and the small one is the number one person in the white case! If Zhou is seventy-eighty years old this year, it would be fine, but he is still so young...

If you were Yuan Zidan, would you take this opportunity to fight Brother Zhou?"

Lao Guo said helplessly: "It's so troublesome now. Brother Zhou, are you sure... This is not that I don't believe you, Yuan Zidan is famously difficult to deal with."

"I can't say it well, soldiers come to stop them, and water comes to cover them."

Zhou Dong felt nothing. Since he entered the breakfast department, he came step by step, saw the "Four Giants", went to the meeting alone to convince Huai Liangren, and won the name of the King of China's Face with Eight Delicacies. What kind of diligent master has never seen? Although the Yuan family is not small, Yuan Mei's legacy accounts for at least half of it. It will take only to know what Yuan Zidan is like before he can compare it.

After more than half an hour, Yuan Zidan still didn't come. However, the young master Yuan who had greeted them at the main entrance walked into the water pavilion with a pot of tea and smiled: "Two teachers, King Zhou, my father is still preparing for the exam questions. I told me to make tea, how can you drink some tea first?"

After saying that, he picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup for each person. Lao Guo and Teacher Yu looked at the teacup and frowned slightly. What kind of tea is this? The tea soup is bright and beautiful, but the taste is straight to the nose, as if there are oil stars floating on it.

Lao Guo is also a man who loves to talk about the past and is quite familiar with the tea ceremony. He has never drunk such a unique tea.

"Young Master Yuan" didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhou Dong with a smile.

Lao Guo and Teacher Yu looked at each other and immediately understood that the serious test questions had not yet been released, and the pre-class test came. Is the Yuan family going to test Brother Zhou first by borrowing this pot of strange tea in ancient times?

Lao Guo and Teacher Yu picked up the tea and took a sip, then quickly put it down, as if they were not interested in taking a second sip. The taste of the tea was really weird, and they both couldn't accept it.

Zhou Dong looked at the tea in the teacup: "Young Master Yuan, is this cup of 'ancient tea' also a test question?"

Mr. Yuan smiled and said, "It's just a treat for guests in the garden. But my father said that King Zhou Noodle is a master of diligence and can definitely drink the ingredients used for this tea. The cooking skills are so that I will pay attention to remember and learn more from you.

My father also said that if King Zhou had not studied the tea ceremony, I would never ask questions, as it would be very rude."

"Then I'll drink and watch..."

Zhou Dong smiled and picked up the teacup, drank it lightly, nodded and said, "Mr. Yuan is really well-known. This is not making tea, but making tea, which is the ancient tea brewing.

There is a tea ceremony in China, which is actually after the Western Han Dynasty. From the Western Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, the way of cooking tea has flourished. People will add salt, onion, ginger, cinnamon, mint and other ingredients to the tea. Some of the more ferocious ones will even add lard...

It is said that the literati and scholars of that period had to use their taste buds to feel the wonderful taste of tea soup layer by layer, and also to write poems and essays to praise them.

It was not until the tea saint Lu Yuzhi that he gradually abandoned this way of making tea and instead drank tea.

The tea cooked by Mr. Yuan is definitely based on ancient methods. It has transformed civil and military fire at least thirteen times, and fully demonstrated the taste and function of each ingredient. Although it is difficult for modern people to accept it, it has truly achieved the role of ancient tea in "replenishing the middle, invigorating qi, removing cold, and warming the body".

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pot of medicinal tea.

In fact, whether you can accept the taste is just a matter of people's habits. In an era when tea is harsh in the natural environment, people lack understanding of nutritional products, and single cooking methods, there are certain historical reasons and historical necessities. If people in that era only make tea, it is actually a waste of tea.

Mr. Yuan cooked this tea for us, but in fact, it was not my understanding of the history of the tea ceremony, nor did it allow me to identify these simple ingredients, but to convey a message to us.

People should neither favor the past and ignore the present nor respect the present! Remembering history, facing up to history, and respecting ancient methods may sometimes not be a regression or progress.

If I must say that I drank the sincerity of a gentleman and your father’s heart of passing on the world in this tea, I wonder if I was right?"

Yuan Zidan is indeed amazing. This tea seems to be testing the common sense of ancient tea and several ordinary ingredients, but in fact it requires testing Zhou Dong's knowledge.

The test questions are hidden very deeply. Fortunately, the master-level taste can not only help Zhou Dong distinguish the quality of the other party's craftsmanship, but also provide a large amount of relevant information, which allows Zhou Dong to see through Yuan Zidan's thoughts at first sight.

"Hahaha, well said! The King of Zhou is indeed worthy of being the leader in diligent Chinese history. This knowledge alone will not be denied the name of the King of Fengshu!"

Yuan Zidan walked into the water pavilion with a smile and gently placed a plate of dishes in his hand in front of Zhou Dong: "I heard from Teacher Yu that the 24-bridge moonlit night in my ideal life was written by the King of Zhou. I watched that episode of the show and it was indeed very amazing.

Since King Zhou’s Noodle has such a deep study of ‘Jin Xuecai’, I wonder what the dish in front of me is?”

“What’s this dish?”

Zhou Dong looked down and saw five stacks of meat strips placed in the shape of plum blossoms on the white porcelain plate, each stack of five, each of which was two fingers long and the thickness of a little finger.

He couldn't help but sigh softly. Mr. Yuan was really competitive. He made a 24-bridge moonlit night. He took out this 'Whose Jade Flute' to test him?
