"How is it? Mr. Liu Mang, are you still satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Liu Mang nodded again and again: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

The yacht headed in the direction of the South China Sea, and along the way, Hachiro Higashino was very enthusiastic and kept greeting everyone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Liu Mang, you won't sail to the open seas, will you? Once you leave China's sphere of influence, it won't be easy. Li Ruonan saw the yacht driving farther and farther, and asked with some concern.

"Captain Ding, what do you think?" asked Liu Mang sideways.

"It's okay, it's still early, Mr. Lin Xiao was already on the phone with me before departure, and the helicopter of the anti-smuggling team was already on standby. If there is a situation, they will be there in half an hour. Ding Li took out his mobile phone, looked at the signal on it, and replied.

Liu Mang's worries were unnecessary, and the yacht continued to sail forward for more than ten minutes, and a huge cruise ship appeared in front of everyone.

"Here, this is our group's 'Poseid', which travels between China and Dongying once a month, can carry 5,000 tourists at a time, and is a luxurious mobile palace on the sea!" said Hachiro Yamano with a slight smugness.

The yacht approached the cruise ship, and a staircase commonly used on airplanes was lowered.

"Please, everyone!" Hachiro Higashino leaned sideways and made a gesture of please.

Liu Mang and his entourage walked on the cruise ship, only to find that the cruise ship was much bigger than they imagined.

The building on the deck alone has seven or eight floors, equipped with various recreational facilities such as tennis courts and swimming pools.

"This way, please!" Hachiro Higashino led the group to the elevator on the deck and pressed a button on the third floor.

"Boss, this is a nice place. Wuyan touched the gilded wall in the elevator room, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden for the first time.

And Ding Wu and Jieba were one left and one right, firmly protecting Liu Mang and Li Ruonan in the middle, with restrained expressions and vigilant expressions.

"Take it easy, when I got on the boat just now, I saw that there were a lot of Chinese tourists on it, and the cruise ship was also going to the mainland, so there should be no problem. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Ding!" the elevator doors opened.

"Liu Mangjun, we're here!"

What appears to everyone is a Japanese restaurant with a quaint décor, and the tone of the entire restaurant is dominated by black and white.

The walls are deliberately made of heavy paint, and the decorative walls on both sides are mixed with a variety of natural woods, with fine granite furnishings, the whole environment is permeated with a leisurely charm of ancient trees.

Pushing open a wooden door framed with white paper, he walked into a box, and the three middle-aged men sitting cross-legged inside stood up and bowed deeply.

"Mouth you seven wow!"

"What?," Five-eyed looked confused.

"Hello, stupid!" Li Ruonan gave him a blank look.

In addition to Jiro Ida, who has already been seen, the other two men have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they look mighty. A white-faced, beardless, shaved head, and wearing a crisp white chef's suit.

"I would like to introduce you, this is our President, Mr. Futsuo Muraya. ”

"Hello! Liu Mangjun! Nice to meet you!" the imposing-looking middle-aged man said in stiff Chinese.

"This is the head chef of Muraya Cuisine, Inoue Ueno. ”

Inoue probably didn't speak Chinese, so he only smiled and nodded to Liu Mang.

"Please be seated!" greeted Muraya Futako, who then clapped his hands three times.

Hearing the applause, a seductive-looking maid in a kimono soon walked in with a wooden lacquered tray.

"Jeba, Captain Ding, you go outside and wait first, if Nan and Xiao Wu stay with me. Liu Mang took off his shoes and sat down cross-legged on the tatami mat.

"Okay, let's go outside and keep watch. Ding Li nodded, put his hand to his mouth and gestured, meaning to shout loudly whenever there was a situation.

"Let's get straight to the point! Mr. Erxiong, why are you looking for me to come to the bottom?"

"Liu Mangjun, I have always admired Chinese culture, especially Chinese culinary culture, so this time, I just want to discuss it together. ”

"Oh, not for my puffer fish skills?"

"Of course there is. Unexpectedly, Muraya Futako was very calm and did not hide his inner thoughts.

"Please drink tea first! Our matcha has a different taste than Chinese green tea. ”

The Dongying woman pours some green tea powder from a quaint clay pot, adds hot water, and then uses a small tool like a stirring spoon to gently stir in the tea bowl.

"You're here to cook fugu skills, I'm here to get back our country's recipes, is Yuji-san ready to exchange for equal value?"

"Why exchange instead of learning from each other? Although I have heard about the magic of Liu Mangjun's cooking skills from Hachiro's mouth, I have never tasted it myself, and I still can't believe it. ”

"Oh, then what do you want?" Liu Mang took the tea mixed by the maid and took a sip gently: "Well, this tea is not bad, the entrance is fragrant, elegant and mellow, compared with Chinese green tea, it really has a different taste." ”

"Haha, of course, use the best for the things you use to greet distinguished guests. "Seeing that Liu Mang is very knowledgeable, the two heroes of the village house are very complacent.

"This kind of tea is called Gyokuro, and it is the highest grade of our Dongying tea, and it is said that it is not possible to find one out of a hundred tea trees to produce, which shows its high requirements. ”

"I mean, although it has a different taste, it is still a lot worse than our top green tea in China. Liu Mang still couldn't figure out what the two heroes of the village house wanted to do, so he could only talk nonsense.

"Oh, but as far as I know, didn't the Chinese tea ceremony fall into decline long before the Emperor Zhu of your Ming Dynasty?" said Muraya Fukio, sneering.

"Huh?" Liu Mang was shocked, it seems that this village house Erxiong is still a China expert, and he even knows this.

He is right, the decline of the Chinese tea ceremony is indeed related to Zhu Yuanzhang, a rogue emperor.

The earliest time when the Chinese tea ceremony appeared should be the Jin Dynasty. In the first days, it was made of tea powder and mixed in a hot soup.

In the Tang Dynasty, cake tea became popular. In this method, the tea leaves are steamed and mashed, made into a cake shape to dry, and then pounded into powder in a mortar when used.

This kind of tea made into a biscuit-like tea is also called a tea ball, and it is labor-intensive and time-consuming to make, and it is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Later, there was a more elaborate grinding method than pounding. When making tea, stir it with bamboo chopsticks to make it foam, which is the method recorded by Lu Yu in the "Book of Tea" in the Tang Dynasty.

This matcha method was first introduced to RB, and Emperor Saga had a verse in the early Heian Dynasty that said, "I don't get tired of making fragrant tea."

According to the Chinese tea ceremony, tea is a spiritual enjoyment, an art, or a means of self-cultivation.

"The Tao is understood by the heart" - we must use our hearts to understand the tea ceremony, in order to elevate a life custom to the level of 'Tao'.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, established the country, because the manufacture of group tea was time-consuming and laborious, and the people's labor was wasted, he ordered the abolition of group tea and directly paid tribute to tea. It was the fashion of the tea leaves to be directly fried and drunk in later generations.

As a result, the Chinese tea ceremony, which has been prevalent for nearly a thousand years, has officially withdrawn from the stage of history, but the opposite island country Dongying has always retained this tradition and passed it down from generation to generation.
