Chapter 99: Ice Water
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
”An ice water” soon became famous in Binhai City.
Zhang Zian’s order was out of everyone’s expectation.
Jiang Tianda was so angry that he wanted to beat up Zhang Zian through the computer monitor.
The female owner already had the water boiled and was about to clean the tea set with it. As she heard Zhang Zian, her hand shook and some steaming hot water spilled.
The waitress was looking at Zhang Zian as if she could not believe what he said.
Even the benevolent and righteous cat napping next to the stove slightly moved. Zhang Zian confirmed that she was not sleeping nor deaf. Just like humans, some cats lose their hearing ability as they get old. Sometimes they yell and sometimes they don’t respond to their master. These are all signs of cats losing their hearing ability.
”What? Is water not available?” Zhang Zian asked.
The waitress turned around and looked at the female owner for help.
The female owner put down the silver teapot. She put a thermometer in the teapot to monitor temperature change. She slightly nodded after thinking for a bit.
The waitress then announced with a shaking voice, ”One…iced…water!”
Zhang Zian nodded with satisfaction. ”Cool. Please hurry!”
The broadcast room was once again heated up.
”What the f*ck?! Hurry up?!”
Ordered an iced water in a teahouse? Man, you are shameless!”
”Mr. Scrooge in real life!”
”Agreed!”
”Shameless indeed! Couldn’t find a better word for him!”
Snowy realized her live show broadcast room was a lot more active since she met Zhang Zian. Not only the number of viewers had gone up but also the number of tips she received.
Before she met Zhang Zian, she had a certain number of fans every time. Most fans watched her show quietly. Only a few people talked during the show. Sometimes she was even in doubt when she had thousands of fans watching online. Ever since Zhang Zian made his appearance, fans could not stop talking about him…even that mysterious rich person [Binhai Local] had changed. Usually, he only spoke when he tipped. Now he had been actively scolding Zhang Zian like everyone else.
What an interesting person! She thought to herself, ”He always does something out of people’s expectations.” The female owner picked out a tea tin from the shelf, used a small spoon to pick up some tea leaves and put them in the tea bowl. When the temperature dropped slightly, she poured hot water into the tea bowl. Loose tea leaves swirled as water was poured in. A light tea color came out as the leaves swirled. The aroma from that tea soon filled the whole room.
When water was about half an inch from the top, she stopped pouring, covered with a lid, picked out some bubbles and then threw away the tea. The first brew was only for cleansing the tea leaves and wakening the taste of tea.
That tea was expensive. She dumped it out like that?
”What a waste!”
”May I work there? I could replace that waste tea bucket!”
She did everything again, poured water in the tea bowl for the second time. This time she didn’t dump out the tea. Instead she closed the lid tightly.
