Chapter 64: Tea Leaves and Eggs

Looking at the grandpa’s rude actions, without any intention of letting him off, Yuan Zhou became speechless. He felt he had been treated unjustly. Since the tea was provided by the system, even he himself had never tasted it. How did he end up risking his life while selling dishes?

Yuan Zhou felt he was now taking a bullet for the deceitful system.

However, the grandpa was triggered by the indifferent tone of Yuan Zhou and thus said, “You brat, come out now. Let me teach you not to waste food.”

While speaking, the grandpa rolled up his sleeves and prepared to jump over the table with the aim of beating Yuan Zhou up. All he lacked now was a decent weapon in his hands. Nevertheless, Vice Division Chief Lee reacted quickly and held the grandpa from aside.

“What’s the matter? Everybody, calm down, calm down, please.”

“You’re asking me to calm down? You don’t seem very young, don’t you drink tea?” the grandpa said angrily while untucking his shirt.

“So it’s true. That dense fragrance of orchid mixed with the scent of sugar is indeed the Keemun Black Tea, isn’t it?” Vice Division Chief Lee was quite familiar with various teas. It could be said to be a necessary knowledge for all civil servants in this country.

“Please excuse me.” After drinking up the last gulp of the broth, Division Chief Lin said to the grandpa solemnly. Then, he held up the small plate and began to observe the Herbal Tea Egg inside it.

“What’s wrong with them?” a customer beside them asked curiously.

“I believe it’s because the Herbal Tea Egg served by Boss Yuan is not as simple as it seems.” somebody else said affirmatively.

“That is pure nonsense. Look at the serious manner of those three old men. I smell nothing special, merely feeling that it is extremely fragrant,” said another customer who didn’t know much about tea.

“How could you say it is nothing special? The Keemun Black Tea is not ordinary.” a voice suddenly chipped in, appearing to know something about it.

Nevertheless, the chirping discussion of the surrounding people didn’t affect Division Chief Lin’s observations.

After a long while…

Division Chief Lin set down the plate, heaving a sigh and said, “This young master used the spring tea leaves of the Keemun Black Tea. The color, that authentic smell and that sweet honey taste have proven it beyond any doubt.”

“This young man is recklessly wasting the precious resources, isn’t he? With such a top grade tea, he actually used it to make Herbal Tea Eggs?” While speaking, the grandpa started getting agitated again.

Actually, almost every customer that had a little knowledge about tea wanted to beat Yuan Zhou up. What is the Keemun Black Tea? It is number 1 among the top three black teas in the world.

The top three most reputable black teas in the world include Keemun Black Tea produced in Mount Huangshan of Anhui Province of China, Darjeeling Black Tea from India and Uva Black Tea from Sri Lanka.

“Yes, only the freshly-picked spring tea leaves of Keemun Black Tea would contain such a sweet honey taste along with that mild and refined orchid-like fragrance.” Yuan Zhou firmly revealed his reason for choosing the tea leaves.

“Why would you ruin such precious tea if you knew about it?” The grandpa felt that he had been brought up too well. It was a good time for him to drop all pleasantries and give Yuan Zhou a good beating. It might have been endurable if Yuan Zhou didn’t know about tea. Yet, he knew about the true value of Keemun Black Tea but still continued to do so. It was absolutely unforgivable, making the grandpa feel a pain in his heart.

“If you ask me which boss I admire the most, it’s definitely Boss Yuan. He can lavishly use the spring tea leaves of the Keemun Black Tea to cook the Herbal Tea Eggs.” the people surrounding murmured quietly.

“I feel suddenly that… the price 888 RMB deserves a 0 in the end… It really is a special offer.”

“Boss Yuan, we cannot be friends if you don’t act so cool.”

“That’s awfully true. Even if the spring tea leaves of Keemun Black Tea are not produced from Likou, Shanli and Pingli areas of Qimen County, they are still quite expensive. I really admire Boss Yuan now.” From another customer who also wanted to beat Yuan Zhou up.

“Oh, my god. Keemun Black Tea. My heart is aching.”

“Don’t touch me. My liver is aching.”
