Zeng Cheng also understands that the tea produced by these tea trees growing on Qilin Mountain is not as good as those tea trees next to Baicao House in the Baicao Space. The tea trees next to Baicao Ju, although they were originally transplanted into the most ordinary tea on the earth, but after all, they have grown in a special environment like Baicao Space for I don't know how many years, and now they must have grown into spiritual plants.

And the tea trees on this Qilin Mountain, although there are now spiritual spring irrigation, and even because Zeng Cheng planted a lot of spiritual trees and spiritual grasses near his villa, they have become full of spiritual energy, but after all, the time is still short, and the tea trees have not changed essentially, and the tea produced is naturally worse.

In the subsequent conversation, Liu Haohong intentionally or unintentionally asked about the situation of Zeng Cheng's tea plantation and the output of tea. Zeng Cheng knew his idea, after all, Liu Haohong's family was in the tea business, and he must have taken a fancy to Zeng Cheng's tea to see if there was any possibility of large-scale planting and promotion.

Zeng Cheng knew in his heart that he would naturally not be fooled, but he just said that his tea garden was very small, the yield was very low, and the growing conditions of his tea trees were harsh, so there was no way to expand the scale. This made Liu Haohong have no choice but to dispel the idea in his heart.

However, Zeng Cheng had an idea in his heart. As the first of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world today, tea not only occupies a dominant position in China, where it originated, and nearby Japan and South Korea, but also has a pivotal position in Western countries such as the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States. In the UK, in particular, it is reported that nearly 80% of the British population drinks tea, and the proportion of tea drinkers over the age of 65 is as high as 85%. As a result, the UK has the highest per capita consumption of tea in the world, with an average of 165 million cups of tea drunk every day. Therefore, there is a wide market for tea.

Some famous teas have now been speculated to sky-high prices, not to mention the tea at the auction, there are many tea prices on the market alone, which have reached thousands or even tens of thousands of catties.

Zeng Cheng believes that with this kind of tea in his own family, not to mention tens of thousands of catties, with a little operation, hundreds of thousands and one catties will definitely be no problem. If it is operated well after a period of time, it is not impossible to hype up the price of those top famous teas in the world.

Just when Zeng Cheng accompanied Liu Haohong and his wife to drink tea and chat, his parents, two sisters and two brothers-in-law came back one after another. When they saw the guests, their parents warmly invited them to lunch, and then actively began to prepare lunch.

First serve a few cold dish platters, authentic herb space best vegetables. The vegetables eaten by Zeng Cheng's family can all come from the Baicao space, which is a grade better than the vegetables produced on the farm. When you don't move your chopsticks, the smell alone makes your mouth water. Shoot cucumber strips, steamed beans, eggplant with garlic sauce, pickled pepper and cabbage, pure natural taste, no extra seasoning, let people feel the charm of the best vegetables.

Zeng Cheng has been seriously studying cooking skills recently, and his cooking level has improved rapidly. These most ordinary home-cooked dishes actually made a table of people drool. If the hot dish is not served, no one usually uses chopsticks, but this routine can also be broken at will, such as cold dishes are too tempting, and the wine is too mellow.

Today's table has both of them. Liu Haohong took out a box of 53 degrees Feitian Moutai from the trunk of the car, and when he dismantled the wine, Zeng Cheng found that the long date of the wine was more than ten years ago, and after careful calculation, it should be fifteen years old. After dismantling, the house is full of fragrance.

Although Daniel Zhang does not read much, after all, he has worked in a four-star hotel, and he went to the Yuemei Hotel Group headquarters in Yudu for a period of time before, and he has some insight, but he is a little breathless, holding the wine bottle and shouting: "Wow, this is Feitian Moutai, or 1993 vintage, my brother has a bottle at home, which is regarded as a treasure by his father, and I heard that now a bottle can be sold for six or seven thousand yuan." ”

Liu Haohong smiled very modestly: "I have saved a lot of this wine, and the original cost was not so high, and it was only a few hundred yuan a bottle when it left the factory." I love this mouthful, I can smoke without smoking, I can eat less food, but I can't go without alcohol for a day. Hehe, today everyone let go of the belly to drink, I brought two boxes, everyone can drink as much as you want, drink as much as you want, if it is not enough, I will bring more next time. ”

What Liu Haohong said is true, he is indeed a person who loves wine, otherwise it would be impossible to have two boxes of wine in the trunk of the car at any time. Just like today, he originally planned to find a random restaurant in Jiuli Township to deal with lunch, but he still put two boxes of wine in the car.

"Come on, come on, everyone is full, the hot food hasn't come up yet, let's taste the good wine first." Zeng Cheng's father said happily. He is also an alcoholic, and every meal is free of alcohol. Now I am very happy to have encountered such a good wine. Holding the wine bottle, first fill a glass for Liu Haohong, then pour it for Wu Yue, and then it will be his family's.

The table was all eaten, and the eldest sister Zeng Min asked Zeng Cheng to accompany the guests, and then she turned out to be in charge. Although her cooking skills are not as good as Zeng Cheng's, now the most exquisite dishes have been served, and she is fully competent for the rest of the work.

Today in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, the emphasis is on a fun and casual, the rules are not said, everyone first made a small glass of Moutai, the stronger sauce fragrance spread in the mouth, the aroma rushed up, so that the nose from the inside out, have smelled the fragrance.

"Good wine, I've drunk Moutai twice before, but it can't be compared with today, it's not a grade. Come on, everyone will eat after drinking, don't be polite. As the host at the wine table, Zeng Cheng is responsible for making the wine and food, so that the guests can feel the enthusiasm of the host.

In the eyes of today's city people, it seems that it is too fake, but most of it is a habit, and the whole place is this habit, which will be called a tradition.

In fact, Zeng Cheng also felt that it was too fake, usually when he ate by himself, he almost didn't let him, but there were too many guests today, and if he didn't let the wine and food, he would definitely be criticized by his parents and say that he couldn't be a man.

However, few people in the city know how to be polite, and since they really stay for dinner, they will not be polite. Without Zeng Cheng's persuasion, he got off the chopsticks, crunched, and chewed the cucumber strips crispy.

Fortunately, the hot dishes came up soon, braised hare, potato stewed pheasant, salt and pepper yellow eel, and a large pot of sauerkraut fish, which may be the habit of the chef, I don't know what means they use, with two pots, to make these four dishes at the same time. Although it is four dishes, it is full of portions, and each serving can only be served on a deep plate like a small pot.

Now no one is really polite, the main dish comes up, and I am not afraid of eating all the dishes on the table and embarrassing the host's family.

As the host, after everyone has a drink, it's time to toast, according to the status or importance of the errand. The local cups are small cups, only one or two cups, which is convenient for toasting, and a few more toasts will not fall down immediately.

Zeng Cheng stood up, raised the cup to shoulder height, and said to the two guests: "Brother Liu, Sister Wu, welcoming two distinguished guests to the Humble House today really makes our family shine." I won't say much if I'm polite, it's all in the wine, I'll toast you two with a glass!"

After speaking, Zeng Cheng did it all, reversed the wine glass, and lit the glass, which was regarded as indicating that he had drunk it all.

Liu Haohong and Wu Yue also smiled and toasted, but after drinking, Wu Yue said with a smile: "Zeng Cheng, are you showing off or showing off, if your house is a humble house, then how can other people live." ”

The crowd laughed, and then ate and drank happily.

Liu Haohong tasted a piece of sauerkraut fish, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed: "Good fish, chewing is really strong, spicy and fragrant can't hide the aroma of fish, this is the best fish I have eaten in recent years." ”

Wu Yue also tasted a piece, and nodded again and again, praising the good fish. This fish is the grass carp weighing seven or eight pounds, and the quality of the meat is considered to be at the upper level of freshwater fish. If it is pure wild, the meat quality will be better. And this fish was caught in Qinglong Lake, and after a few months of washing with spiritual energy spring water, it can also add a little bit of deliciousness.

Another red carp was cut by Zeng Cheng with a squirrel flower knife, patted with dry powder, fried in oil, and poured with tomato sauce, which became another special dish, called squirrel fish, suitable for all ages, both men and women.

After being served, it was immediately robbed by everyone. Although the carp has many spines, as long as it is handled properly, the taste is not to be said, and everyone is full of fragrance when they eat it, and they can't stop it.

"I've never eaten such delicious fish...... "Although Daniel Zhang's family background is not good, the villagers who live by the Shicheng River have never lacked fish to eat, but their parents' cooking skills are very average, and the taste of the fish is naturally not very good. And today's dish was prepared by Zeng Cheng and basically done, plus the best ingredients, it is impossible to make it unpalatable.

Zeng Cheng, a person who has been raised by the ingredients of the Baicao Space and has a tricky taste, thinks that this table of wine and food is excellent, not to mention others. After the squirrel fish is served, the pickled wild boar meat is served with sharp peppers, and a shredded pepper is fried, which immediately detonates everyone's appetite, fresh and spicy and delicious, with fine wine, and some people drink too much unconsciously.

There are more than ten people at a table, although there are four little guys and Zeng Cheng's two sisters who don't drink, but Liu Haohong and his wife plus Zeng Cheng's father, two brothers-in-law, as well as Zeng Cheng and his mother Cheng Yan, there are also seven people who drink, and everyone's alcohol is not bad, four bottles of wine are not enough to drink, Liu Haohong went to the car again and moved out another box of Feitian Moutai in the trunk.

After eating this banquet for almost two hours, the curtain came to an end, and after it was removed, a pot of green tea was brewed and a cup was poured for each person, which was regarded as a sobering tea.

It was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Haohong and his wife took their daughter Liu Yingying to the strawberry field again, continued to pick some strawberries, and then happily drove back to the city. Before leaving, he also said that he would come to Zeng's house to pick strawberries for a while and drink with Zeng Cheng. However, Zeng Cheng knew that Liu Haohong was a drunkard, not in wine, but that he still did not give up on Zeng Cheng's tea, and wanted to see if there was any possibility of cooperation between the two sides.
