037. Hot pot is the characteristic of Chongqing
"What I just said may have put some pressure on you, but don't worry," said Aika Iori. "From today's rehearsal, the tea shop owners' tea orders are in my opinion not as good as the tea ceremony you performed for us that day. I have not been moved by them at all."
Qian Linya smiled. Of course. Middle-aged greasy men, no matter how serious the tea is, the possibility of making people feel friendly is very small. Not everyone is Qian Xuanfang.
Ayaka Iori continued, "So I am still very confident in you. As long as you look at your tea, anyone with eyes can see the extraordinary."
"Thank you." Qian Linya lowered his head modestly.
"What do you want to ask me when Chisang called?" said Aika Iori.
"I want to ask you about what specific links and process will be there for tomorrow's tea party." Qian Linya said, "You participated in the rehearsal throughout today and you will definitely have more confidence in the process."
Ayaka Iori smiled: "You are really a cautious person. Even if I say that, do you have to be fully prepared?"
"That's of course. For tea men, the tea table is the battlefield." Qian Linya said, "Knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This is the truth."
"In fact, the process on that day was not complicated, there were many places to play freely..."
Aika Iori began to tell him about the process of the tea party. She had a woman's delicate work, and she explained to him in detail the overall grasp of the normal tea party and even every detail of the specific process.
During the time they were talking, the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen became more and more noisy. It seemed that the three girls had a disagreement about how to cook, and then returned to calm, so calm that it was a bit terrible.
Unexpectedly, the three of them entered the house with a basin of Japanese hot pot and laughed. They didn't know what was happening in the kitchen.
Qian Linya had finished the call, hung up the phone, and was sitting in the living room thinking. Meng Ye smiled and said, "Brother, you'll have hot pot today!"
"Wow, it smells so good, alas..." Qian Linya stood up.
"What's wrong? Why sigh?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly want to eat Chongqing hotpot."
Mengye put the hot pot on the table, covered her mouth and said, "Hey? Chongqing hot pot? Can't make it."
Misaki Misaki said on the side: "It will add a very spicy base."
"Then do you want to change it now?" Meng Ye asked simply.
Qian Linya hurriedly took the chopsticks handed by Mari Kikuchi: "No, no, it's done, why are you doing that? I just thought about it. Eat quickly."
After putting down the dishes and chopsticks, the four of them said together at the table: "I'm starting!"
The hot pot was unexpectedly delicious.
The thin fat beef rolls are made of high-quality beef without a trace of fascia. At the same time, they inhale the soup and bite them in their mouths and smell full of fragrance. The muscles on the fat beef rolls melt when they touch the tongue. At the same time, they are very strong. The meat torn by the teeth seems to have their own ideas. In the mixing of lips and teeth, the deliciousness has sublimated into a great sense of satisfaction.
The mushrooms are as soft as meat, the bamboo shoots are crispy and delicious, the kelp is tender and smooth, and the shrimps are fragrant. Even the soup is rich and mellow. Qian Linya ate two big bowls of rice and wanted to add it again.
Mengye sighed with a happy smile on her face, "It's like a family having dinner together."
Qian Linya rubbed her head a little dotingly. Since both of their parents passed away, they have been dependent on each other and have not had such a lively meal for a long time.
However, Kikuchi Mari obviously misunderstood her meaning. Her face was flushed and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Misaki Misaki snatched a fat bull roll that Chi Linya had liked and said, "My younger generation, I'm just curious. I'll ask, what you've talked about before is that you want to participate in a tea ceremony performance, right?"
The other two were also very interested in this topic and both raised their ears.
"To be precise, it's a wild tea party, I'm a special guest," Qian Linya said, "it's tomorrow."
Meng Ye knew about him going to attend the tea party, but she didn't know the specific details. She asked, "Is anyone planning to be against you after hearing the phone call just now?"
"It's not bad for me. This is the world of tea ceremony, full of intrigue," said Qian Linya.
He told the three of them about the teahouse owner Ikeda. After listening, the three of them were temporarily confused.
The three girls, the oldest, are still underage. It is a bit terrible for them to have "adults have malicious competition for themselves".
"You are from a serious tea ceremony family, so there should be no problem, right?" Misaki Miyagi asked.
"Actually, my identity is not an advantage in a wild tea party," said Qian Linya. "It is more beneficial to the tea house owner."
"Why do you say that?"
He took a few bites of rice and said, "On the day of the wild tea party, there will be 100 tea tables on site, totaling 300 tea tables, and they will also receive their own tea tables. It is the weekend, and I don't know how many people will attend. Once there are more people, the situation will easily become complicated."
"It's not easy to control?" Meng Yewen.
"So," he nodded, "the tea ceremony is a path between the seats. When there are more people, the subtlety of the subtleties cannot be reflected, and it may become a voice competition. It is difficult for me, an authentic tea person, to exert its advantages."
He continued: "And the tea house owner prefers the atmosphere of more people than me. He is the businessman who welcomes and sees him off. He gets used to the big scenes. The more people they are, the more they act, the more popular they may be."
"So that's it." Misaki Misaki and Kikuchi Mari nodded.
"And, Ikeda Ikeda's image has always been more suitable for this battlefield," Chi Linya stretched out his chopsticks. "He has always advocated that 'tea ceremony is the way for everyone'. The occasion of tea partying in the wild is exactly what suits his philosophy."
Qianmengye frowned worriedly, while Misaki Miyagi clenched his fists heartlessly: "Junior, I will go to the scene to cheer you on that day!"
"No need." Qian Linya had his own meal.
Meng Ye frowned and said, "It seems that the cram school will be removed tomorrow..."
"Absolutely not possible, there is no need. You can cook the meal at home and wait for me after you finish the cram school."
Mari Kikuchi said with a broken face: "Chanjun, I will follow my mother to another tea party tomorrow..."
"Then go and participate."
Kikuchi obviously felt guilty about not being able to attend Qian Linya's activities and was always depressed.
After finishing the hot pot, Misaki Miyagi realized it and said, "Then tomorrow, wouldn't I be the only one who has time? Junior, don't worry, I will only applaud you on the scene, not others!"
“No need.”
There is no banquet that never ends. After dinner, it is getting late, and Mari Kikuchi and Misaki Misaki finally return home.
After coaxing Mengye to study, Qian Linya took out his cell phone and called a phone that he had never made before.
In the address book notes, it simply says "Black Cat Omaeda".
