Chapter 35: The Art of Tea

An Yilun was also distressed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a heavy otaku and dolphin consumer, he doesn't like other otaku who spend the whole holiday at home.

In fact, today he pushed off his holiday odd jobs and stood for almost a morning from Akihabara to Ueno Station.

Listening to a Chinese woman explain to the crowd in English, although An Yilun also had mediocre grades in school, she finally understood, and the Chinese restaurant in front of her actually opened for business at 6 o'clock in the afternoon!

"It's all the guy from Yingli Pear......"

Lowering his head slightly, he pushed the black frames of his glasses, and even if he was as clumsy as he was, his eyes showed a hint of annoyance.

"Have you arrived?" he pulled out his phone and texted.

Doodle. There was an immediate reply from the other side.,"I'm sorry.,Just finished a fan.,I'm taking the train.。 ”

Ay!

sighed long, An Yilun also had no way to take that blonde and double-ponytailed "childhood sweetheart".

In fact, seven years ago, the two rarely communicated, from elementary school, junior high school, to Toyonosaki High School, when they met at school, they seemed to be strangers, and at most they nodded to each other in greetings.

However, the relationship between the two has been recovering in a good direction, and five years ago they began to greet each other with a short two or three sentences, and they began borrowing each other animations and games from before high school. An Yilun also felt sorry for the loss of a sincere housemate, so he was trying to save it.

It's also strange to say.,It's also a "childhood sweetheart" who is a deep house.,But last night I suddenly contacted him by email.,On a whim.,Ask him to go to the old shopping street of Ueno Station to eat Chinese food.。

An Yilun didn't know why, he remembered the odd job, and he was going to refuse, but recently, a game plan that was gradually forming in his heart made him unable to refuse the invitation of the "childhood sweetheart".

After all, among the peers he knew, the blonde girl with two ponytails was a powerful painter, and the other party had another layer of hidden identity, the famous painter of 18-Forbidden Gongkou Comics, who was famous in ACG circles for his delicate and gorgeous painting style, and was called 'Kashiwagi Eiri Teacher' by the otaku.

Game planning requires an artist. An Yilun also desperately wanted to reconcile the relationship between the two, so he pushed off the day's odd jobs and took the tram from home early, who knew that it would be just a morning!

Raising his head, An Yilun also found that the crowd was scattered, and including him, only six people chose to wait.

The three of them are young girls walking together, full of youth, about the age of the third year of junior high school to the first year of high school.

The other two are mysterious young couples wearing masks.

The beautiful Chinese big sister continued to greet the guests in English and greet them into the store.

Call.

Entering the store, An Yilun was also surprised to find that the environment was quite elegant, different from the Japanese style, full of Chinese classical atmosphere. He found a place for himself to sit down alone.

After the young couple took their seats, they cautiously looked around and took off their masks. An Yilun also glanced at the past, and vaguely felt that the couple was a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who it was. He often visits Niconico, but his interests are focused on animation and games, and he rarely goes to the dance and music areas, otherwise he would definitely recognize Renxue and Mizutani Jun.

As for the three girls......

An Yilun also used his observation skills, two of the girls chatted excitedly from the moment they entered the store, but one kept his head down, and his beautiful face was written with apprehension and uneasiness.

Not to mention the guests in the store, Xia Yu washed up and came out, but Mu Xiaoyue blocked the door strongly.

"Do you plan to run this shop well?" Mu Xiaoyue grinded her teeth.

She knew about the small restaurant from Xia Yu, and he was currently the only one in charge of it, the manager and the chef, and his only relative had returned to China in a hurry. Mu Xiaoyue was concerned from the bottom of her heart. Because her stomach was captured.

"What do you say?" Xia Yu was speechless.

"Then what's going on with your service attitude!" Mu Xiaoyue was annoyed, "igo restaurant rating assessment, service is also a key scoring item...... Are you going to stay at the restaurant for one star forever?"

"How is that possible!"

"Then you don't want to go out and entertain the guests well?" Mu Xiaoyue glared.

Xia Yu didn't care about Mu Xiaoyue's noisy posture, but there was a warm flow in her heart.

The manager and chef should do what they should do, entertain customers or something, and leave it to the waiter. However, the shop has no employees for the time being. Xia Yu tilted his head and looked at the pretty Chinese lady in front of him slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I plan to hire you and Sister Anya with a dish!"

"Huh?" Mu Xiaoyue was stunned.

didn't give Mu Xiaoyue a chance to go crazy, Xia Yu immediately said: "It's the kind of glowing dish last time, but it's not magic mapo tofu, it's another vegetarian dish." ”

Regardless of the reason, seeing the sudden influx of guests today, Xia Yu knew that the system's [Emerging Edge] task would be completed within this day or two.

The task required him to entertain 30 guests in seven days and received good reviews from the guests. In other words, the food must be satisfying.

So, isn't the blue recipe of "Fried Chinese Cabbage" rewarded by this quest just in the bag?

When Mu Xiaoyue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"However, we will return to China in a few days, and the flights are all booked......" Mu Xiaoyue said in a reluctant tone.

"It's okay, help me with the top work first, I'll hire one or two waiters as soon as possible these days. You can visit Tokyo during the day, it doesn't matter, just come in at 6 p.m. and leave work at 12 p.m. Xia Yu smiled and put his hands in his trouser pockets, "How about it, the glowing cuisine is the VIP delicacy I envisioned, if I open a VIP dining area in the future, this kind of food will cost about 100,000 yen a plate." ”

"No problem!" Mu Xiaoyue nodded without thinking, and at the same time her heart was full of excitement and expectation, a plate of 100,000 yen of delicious food, the old lady has made a lot of money!

Mu Xiaoyue, who had eaten magic mapo tofu once, felt that the price was very, very reasonable.

"Okay, let's make tea for the waiting guests first-"

Xia Yu beckoned Mu Xiaoyue and asked her to follow her into the kitchen.

Mu Xiaoyue noticed that he was in an old water tank, scooping water to fill two metal pots, and putting them on the gas stove to boil.

"Don't you need pure water or water from the tap?" she blinked.

Japanese tap water, also known as aqueduct water, is a ready-to-drink grade. Some major attractions and supermarkets also offer free chilled running water.

"The water used to make tea is very particular, and although the water in Japan is drinkable, it is far inferior to some mountain spring water, at least in tea. ”

Xia Yu replied unhurriedly, while waiting, the two pots of water were boiling, he opened the pot to let the water vapor escape, took out the tea set from the cupboard, and beckoned Mu Xiaoyue to clean it together.

The Japanese mainly drink green tea, so then he came out with a bag of green tea, and by this time the temperature of the water in the pot had dropped to 70-80C. This water temperature is best for sencha, and brewing with boiling water will ruin the taste of green tea.

Mu Xiaoyue watched quietly, and when she saw his old-fashioned tea-making technique, she couldn't help but feel depressed.

Tea!

How can this kid know everything? People are really angry with themselves more than others.
