However, Zhou Dong is a kind person, and it is not his habit to make trouble through this. It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and I feel a little angry, but in fact, most of it is related to his illness, so I also said coldly: "Since it is Mr. Yuan who made the question, I won't choose it, just ask for it......"

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

Guo Yigang wanted to stomp his feet when he heard this. Who would have thought that Yuan Zidan would be arrogant, and his brother Zhou would be even more arrogant, and such a good opportunity to narrow the 'scope of the exam' would be directly given up by him?

Yuan Zidan looked at Zhou Dong and smiled slightly: "The king of noodles is the king of noodles." Well, it seems that I have to come up with an earth-shattering problem to become ......"

Yuan Zidan laughed, walked out of the pavilion, and then didn't see him for more than half an hour.

Lao Guo waited for a void in his heart, and couldn't help muttering: "Brother, I see that this Mr. Yuan is mysterious, he doesn't want to think of any tricks to embarrass you, right?"

Teacher Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Gangzi, you are a fan of the authorities, you don't want to think about who Brother Zhou is? The big one is the king of Huaxia noodles, and the small one is the first person in the white case! If Brother Zhou is seventy or eighty this year, it would be okay, but he is still so young......

If you are Yuan Zidan, will you take this opportunity to fight with Brother Zhou?"

Lao Guo said helplessly: "It's troublesome now, Brother Zhou, are you sure...... This, it's not that I don't believe you, Yuan Zidan is notoriously difficult. ”

"It's not good to say, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it. ”

Zhou Dong felt nothing, from the beginning of entering the early department, he came step by step, saw the 'Big Four', went to the meeting to impress Huai Liangren alone, and won the name of the king of Huaxia noodles with eight treasured noodles, what kind of diligent master has not seen it? Although the reputation of the Yuan family is not small, Yuan Mei's legacy accounts for at least more than half, and what about Yuan Zidan is still to be known.

After more than half an hour, Yuan Zidan still didn't come, but Yuan Gongzi, who greeted them at the main gate, walked into the water pavilion with a pot of tea and smiled: "Two teachers, Zhou Mian Wang, my father is still preparing for the exam questions, and he told me to make tea, how many of you can drink some tea first?"

After speaking, 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 red and bright and beautiful, but the taste goes straight to the nose, as if there are oil stars floating on it.

Lao Guo is also a person who loves to talk about the ancients, and he is quite familiar with the tea ceremony, but he has never drunk such a unique tea.

'Yuan Gongzi' didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Dong with a smile.

Lao Guo and Teacher Yu glanced at each other, and immediately understood in their hearts that the serious exam questions had not yet come out, and the pre-hall test was coming.

Lao Guo and Teacher Yu picked up the tea and took a sip, and then quickly put it down, seemingly not interested in taking a second sip, the taste of this tea is really strange, and the two of them can't accept it.

Zhou Dong looked at the tea in the teacup: "Yuan Gongzi, is this cup of 'ancient tea' also an exam question?"

Yuan Gongzi smiled and said: "It's just a thing to entertain guests in the garden, but my father said that King Zhou Mian is a diligent master, and he will definitely be able to drink the geometry of the materials used in this tea and the wonder of cooking, so I have to pay attention to it and learn more from you."

My father also said that if King Zhou Mian did not study the tea ceremony, I must not ask questions, which would be very rude. ”

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

Zhou Dong smiled and picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and nodded: "Mr. Yuan is really worthy of his name, this is not making tea, but cooking tea, that is, boiling tea in ancient times."

From the Western Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, the way of cooking tea flourished, people would add salt, green onions, ginger, cinnamon, mint and other ingredients to the tea, and some of the more ferocious would even add lard......

It is said that the literati of that period would use their taste buds to feel the wonderful taste of tea soup layer by layer, and they would also write poems to praise it.

It was not until the tea saint Lu Yuzhi "The Book of Tea" that he gradually abandoned this way of boiling tea and drank clear tea instead.

Mr. Yuan's brewed tea is definitely based on the ancient method, at least transformed the civil and military fire more than 13 times, the taste and effect of each ingredient are vividly displayed, although it is difficult for modern people to accept, but it really achieves the role of ancient tea 'tonifying, invigorating, cold, and warming the body'.

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

In fact, whether or not they can accept the taste is just a matter of habit. Cooking tea appeared in the era of poor natural environment, people's lack of understanding of nutrients, and single cooking means, which has certain historical reasons and historical necessity.

Mr. Yuan made this tea for us, in fact, it was not to test my understanding of the history of the tea ceremony, nor to let me identify these simple ingredients, but to pass on a message to us.

Remembering history, facing history squarely, and respecting the ancient law are sometimes not necessarily retrogression, but may also be progress.

If I have to say that I drank the sincerity of a gentleman and the heart of your father in this tea, I wonder if I am right?"

Yuan Zidan is really powerful enough, this tea seems to be only a test of the common sense of ancient tea and a few ordinary ingredients, but it is actually a test of Zhou Dong's knowledge.

The exam questions are very hidden, but fortunately, the master-level tasting can not only help Zhou Dong distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the other party's craftsmanship, but also provide a large amount of relevant information, so that Zhou Dong can see through Yuan Zidan's mind at a glance.

"Hahaha, that's a good point! King Zhou Mian really deserves to be my diligent leader in China, and this insight alone does not deserve the name of the king!"

I saw Yuan Zidan laughing and walking into the water pavilion, and gently put a dish in his hand in front of Zhou Dong: "I heard Teacher Yu say that the bright moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges in the ideal life is from the hand of King Zhou Mian, I watched that episode of the show, and it was really amazing."

Since King Zhou Mian has studied the 'Jin Xue Cuisine' so deeply, I wonder if he might be able to see what this dish is in front of him?"

"What about this dish?"

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

couldn't help but sigh softly, this Mr. Yuan is really competitive enough, he made a bright moon night on the twenty-four bridges, and he took out this 'jade flute' to test himself?

Don't ask, this 'jade flute', who listens to Luomei', must be more complicated and difficult to distinguish than the one made by Qiao Huang Rong, this is to test whether your tongue is better than the nine-fingered beggar Hong Qigong?
