Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

After eating, the two of them took a slow walk along the Qinhuai River, feeling the leisure brought by the ancient capital of Jinling.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhuo looked up and saw a shop along the street, and his eyes lit up.

Zhang Yun noticed Zhao Zhuo's movements, looked in the direction of Zhao Zhuo's gaze, and immediately understood why Zhao Zhuo had such a look.

It turns out that there is a tea shop in front.

Zhang Yun knew very well that Zhao Zhuo liked drinking tea, so she could tell what Zhao Zhuo was thinking by looking at his eyes.

Zhang Yun asked with a smile:

"Shall we go in for a walk?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"Jinling's Yuhua Tea and Biluochun are famous teas. It would be a pity not to buy some."

Two people entered the store.

There was only the owner in the shop, drinking tea.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun come in, the boss did not get up. Instead, he finished the work in his hands and then smiled and extended his hands to the two of them:

"You two, please take a seat."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled knowingly and didn't say anything. He just nodded lightly and then followed the trend.

Zhang Yun couldn't help but asked strangely:

"Boss, why don't you ask us what we are here for?"

The tea shop owner smiled slightly:

"Guests who come to my place are naturally inseparable from tea. Visitors are guests, so let's drink tea first, right?"

The boss asked back this question, and Zhang Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly, nodded, and sat down.

Just as a pot of tea was brewed, the boss skillfully took out two cups, washed them, and then poured a cup of tea for Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun:

"please."

Zhao Zhuo was not polite, took a sip of tea, and then nodded with a satisfied expression...br

Seeing this, the tea shop owner also asked expectantly:

"how?"

Zhao Zhuo did not answer in a hurry, but took another sip and tasted it carefully.

After that, Zhao Zhuo still didn't speak. Instead, he looked at the empty teacup and then at the boss.

The boss's eyes suddenly showed an expression of surprise, and without saying anything, he slowly poured Zhao Zhuo another cup of tea.

Zhao Zhuo waited until the tea had cooled down a bit, took a third sip, and then said:

"Biluochun has the fresh fragrance and sweetness. It is authentic in taste and classic enough. It is undoubtedly the authentic Qingshan Biluochun."

Hearing Zhao Zhuo's comments, the boss smiled subconsciously, with a look of complacency in his eyes that could not be concealed, but there was also a hint of contempt that was difficult to detect.

Zhao Zhuo didn't look at the boss's eyes. He paused and continued:

"However, after taking two sips of this tea, the fragrance and freshness and sweetness reach the peak, and after the third sip, it is already a bit less so, so it can only be regarded as good, far from being great."

Upon hearing this second sentence, the boss immediately put away his contempt and his whole expression became very surprised:

"Can this gentleman analyze why this is happening?"

This is a deliberate investigation of Zhao Zhuo.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo didn't panic and said with a faint smile:

"It's very simple. First, the tea itself should be produced in the green mountains, not on the top of the mountain, so the overall lasting taste is a little worse.

In addition, boss, when you were pouring water, you accidentally poured all the water on the tea leaves, which washed away a lot of the aroma of the tea leaves.

But this is also because we disturbed you when we came in, so I should say sorry."

After saying this, the tea shop owner's eyes were not simply surprised, it was as if he had seen an alien.

No, to put it more appropriately, it was as if he was seeing Lu Yu reincarnated, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"I really didn't expect that my husband, who looks so young, could have such a profound knowledge of tea. It's so simple.

It’s really rare!”

Zhao Zhuo heard this and said modestly:

"Although the tea ceremony is a small way, it may not be impossible to advance from small to large. My knowledge is still far away."

The tea shop owner shook his head quickly:

"No, no, no, sir, you are too modest!"

With that said, the tea shop owner quickly stood up and walked towards the warehouse at the back while not forgetting to say to Zhao Zhuo:

"Sir, please wait a moment and try my tea again."

Hearing the two people's chatting style, Zhang Yun was stunned.

In her eyes, this tea is just a drink. She didn't expect it to have such great knowledge.

Seeing Zhang Yun's incomprehensible expression, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly:

"Why, do you think we are a little strange?"

Zhang Yun nodded sincerely:

"I can't understand what you both did just now. Why did that boss respect you so much when you didn't say anything at first?"

Zhao Zhuo explained:

"I just drank Qingshan Biluochun. There is something special about tasting this kind of tea. One cup of tea should be divided into three sips. The first sip is to test the temperature of the tea, the second sip is to appreciate the aroma, and the third sip is the time to drink the tea."

The boss may have thought that most people who came to drink tea would not be aware of this problem, so the cups they gave us were too small and we could only take two sips from one cup.

After I drank two sips of the cup, I looked at him without saying anything, and he naturally understood what it meant.

Next, while the cup was still hot, he quickly poured half a cup into it, which was a remedy.

Although I didn't finish three sips of tea, it was basically completed.

So after three sips of tea, he couldn't wait to ask me what I thought.

After listening to this explanation, Zhang Yun finally understood a little bit.

Zhang Yun nodded, and then continued:

"So you tasted that the tea was of average quality, so the boss quickly went to change the tea."

Zhao Zhuo nodded and said with a wry smile:

"Actually, the quality of this tea can be considered pretty good. It has the authentic taste of Qingshan Biluochun. It's just that when I evaluated it, I evaluated it according to the standards of the top Qingshan Biluochun, so it seems to be average."

After a pause, Zhao Zhuo looked at the boss who was busy in the warehouse and couldn't help but smile and said:

"The boss is also a real person. When he heard what I said, he seemed to be preparing to take out his collection of top-quality Qingshan Biluochun to try."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tea shop owner carefully walked out holding a very small ceramic tea can.

The tea can is really small, so small that it can be completely held in one hand, just like a handle.

But the tea shop owner handled it very carefully, fearing that something might happen to the jar accidentally.

After arriving at the table and sitting down, the tea shop owner glanced at Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun with a smile, and then said with some solemnity and pride in his tone:

"What's in this jar is the top quality Qingshan Biluochun that's really picked from the top of Qingshan Mountain!"
