The next day, at half past seven in the morning.

Gu Kaiwen woke up full of energy, and after a simple wash, he went out for a morning run.

About half an hour later, Gu Kaiwen, who was jogging in the morning, received a call from Saburo Hashimoto.

"Mr. Gu, I have arrived at Shengqing International Airport and arrived at Porcelain Street about an hour later. "Saburo Hashimoto's Xia Chinese is very good, although the accent is a little strange, but overall it is flawed.

"Oh!" Gu Kaiwen was secretly shocked, Hashimoto Saburo had already arrived in Shengqing City?

That means that Saburo Hashimoto chose a red-eye flight and departed from Neon Country at two or three o'clock in the morning, and it also means that Saburo Hashimoto attaches great importance to this cooperation, and it also means that he can indeed slaughter a wave of Saburo Hashimoto.

"Okay, we'll see you later. Gu Kaiwen responded.

"I'll see you later. Saburo Hashimoto also responded.

After Gu Kaiwen hung up the call, he immediately turned around and went back, Hashimoto Saburo arrived in about an hour, and it would take him about half an hour to run back, not to mention that it would take a little time to wash.

Nearly an hour later, Gu Kaiwen had finished washing, and he was having breakfast at the Old Things Tea House.

Saburo Hashimoto walked into the old teahouse and took the initiative to greet, "Mr. Gu, good morning!"

Gu Kaiwen put down his chopsticks, wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and then stretched out his right hand and greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Hashimoto." ”

Hashimoto Saburo hurriedly stretched out his right hand and shook it with Gu Kaiwen's right hand, he held it a little harder, and shook it up and down, thus showing his respect for Gu Kaiwen.

"Mr. Hashimoto, did you have breakfast?" Gu Kaiwen asked politely.

Saburo Hashimoto had originally eaten a flight meal on the plane, but Gu Kaiwen was so obviously invited, it was naturally impossible for him to say that he had breakfast.

"I haven't eaten yet!" Hashimoto responded.

Gu Kaiwen naturally couldn't answer the answer of 'find a place to eat if you haven't eaten', he asked, "Xia Guo's special breakfast, soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns and steamed buns." If you don't like it, we also have matcha cake and matcha mousse at the old tea shop, would you like to try it?"

Saburo Hashimoto did not respond politely, "I want to try matcha mousse and matcha cake." ”

"No problem. Gu Kaiwen directly scanned the code and ordered a matcha cake and matcha mousse for Saburo Hashimoto.

In less than a minute, Fan Xiaorong brought them over.

Gu Kaiwen took the initiative to beckon, "Taste the taste first." In addition, I heard that your neon matcha technology is the best in the world, you can judge what level of your neon is not authentic matcha in our old tea shop. ”

"Okay. Saburo Hashimoto responded politely, and then began to taste the taste of matcha mousse.

Gu Kaiwen continued to eat soy milk fritters.

It's not that Gu Kaiwen doesn't like Jingshan matcha's cakes and mousse, it's that he has been eating them for many days in a row and wants to change his taste.

I have lived in the orchid room for a long time and do not smell its fragrance.

Saburo Hashimoto scooped a spoonful of matcha mousse into his mouth with a shiny stainless steel spoon, then closed his eyes and savored the taste of matcha mousse.

It took him nearly a minute before he finally swallowed the matcha mousse.

Gu Kaiwen didn't ask in a hurry, and Saburo Hashimoto didn't rush to comment, he scooped another spoonful and fed it into his mouth.

Five or six minutes later, after Saburo Hashimoto had finished a piece of matcha mousse, he exclaimed, "The unbeatable taste, the impeccable technique, from the raw materials to the cooking skills, I can't fault anything." ”

Saburo Hashimoto looked at Gu Kaiwen and said in a convincing tone, "Mr. Gu, do you know, I was not optimistic about the Jingshan matcha series products of your old tea shop. ”

"Why?" Gu Kaiwen asked rhetorically.

"Because your matcha is not authentic. Saburo Hashimoto said without suspicion, "Strictly speaking, your matcha should be green tea powder, not matcha powder." ”

Gu Kaiwen nodded, "Strictly speaking, this is indeed the case. ”

"That's why I'm not optimistic about your matcha products. Saburo Hashimoto lamented, "However, I just tasted it and realized my ignorance. Your matcha products have a flavor that ordinary matcha doesn't have, and it blooms on the tip of the tongue like spring, and the taste is so wonderful!"

Gu Kaiwen laughed, "Do you know that matcha was invented during the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Xia Kingdom?"

Saburo Hashimoto nodded.

Gu Kaiwen continued, "The traditional way of making matcha is to use steam to finish the tea instead of the raw pot in the finishing process. After the steam is finished, it is made into tea cakes and preserved, and when it is needed, it is baked and processed, and finally ground with a stone mill, right?"

"Yes. Saburo Hashimoto said proudly, "Our neon's top-quality matcha is made using ancient methods. ”

Gu Kaiwen chuckled, "Let's do a math problem, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10, right?"

Of course, this elementary school-level math problem can't stump Saburo Hashimoto, "That's right. ”

"Let's put it another way, is 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 also equal to 10?" Gu Kaiwen asked again.

Hashimoto Saburo was stunned for a moment, not because he was stunned by the math problem, but because he guessed what Gu Kaiwen meant.

"Mr. Gu, do you mean that even if you use a raw pot to finish the tea, you can still get the most authentic matcha?" Hashimoto Saburo asked in a faint shock.

Gu Kaiwen nodded indifferently, "There is an idiom in Xia Kingdom: different paths lead to the same destination, which means that through different ways, you will reach the same destination. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Kaiwen picked up a cup of gaiwan tea, he took a sip, and then continued, "Our Gu family has established the Gu family tea house and the old tea house since 1921, and we have a history of nearly 100 years on the way to tea. In addition, we have a veteran roasted tea chef with more than 50 years of experience. ”

Faced with Gu Kaiwen's sudden pretence, Saburo Hashimoto was shocked!

In particular, the old roasted tea master of Gujia Tea House, who has more than 50 years of experience in the industry, shocked Saburo Hashimoto.

"In fact, I've seen on Weibo questions about the inauthenticity of matcha from our old tea shop, but I've never explained it. Because whether it is matcha powder or green tea powder, it makes no difference to our old tea shop. After all, its taste is enough to prove its worth. Gu Kaiwen said detachedly.

Actually, there is another reason. Gu Kaiwen suddenly lowered his voice, "The Jingshan matcha series products are just a transitional product, it is part of my planned experiment. Now that the time is ripe, I have established the 'Pure Enjoyment' brand to redefine the pastry made by Jing Shan Tea. Mr. Hashimoto, you know what I mean, right?"

Saburo Hashimoto nodded abruptly, "From the very beginning, you have planned to create a high-end pastry brand based on Jingshan tea?"

"Who doesn't want to be a black swan?" Gu Kaiwen nodded with a smile.
