Chapter 195 Afternoon Tea and Restlessness

After going through the turmoil, Arsenal got on the right track in December, winning both the league and the League Cup. However, at the beginning of the new year, Li Yuxin still had things to do in his busy schedule. Today he had afternoon tea with Shuoshuo at home, and Yangyang started to prepare.

First is the appliance

Porcelain teapot (pot for two, pot for four or pot for six.. depending on the number of guests); colander and small saucer for sieving; cup set; sugar bowl; (for serving tea).In addition, lace hand-embroidered table runners or tray mats are very important accessories for Victorian afternoon tea, because they symbolize the important home accessories of the aristocratic life in the Victorian era.

The display of tea drinking should be elegant, orthodox English afternoon tea, the tea used is "champagne in black tea"--Darjeeling black tea is the first choice, or Earl Gray tea, but it has evolved to even flavored tea.For formal afternoon tea in the UK, the decoration of the tea table, cutlery, tea set, and dessert plate are very particular. The props include tea cups, tea spoons, tea knives, saucers, tea trays (for snacks), forks, sugar bowls, milk cup bottles, napkins, etc., as well as teapots, skimmers, and sandwich plates. Put these tableware on the round table, and the tablecloth can also be embroidered or lace. Play beautiful music, and the atmosphere of the afternoon tea is created.With these atmospheres, there must be beautiful decorations to embellish. Flowers, funnels, candles, photos, or satin flowers on napkins can be used for decoration. These are all good decoration methods. However, the afternoon tea utensils have been simplified a lot, and many tedious details are no longer so important.

Then there was the dim sum ordered, which was finally finished after a busy afternoon, but there was one more guest unexpectedly, that was Mendes who came to Li Yuxin's house,
Process Trilogy

Part [-]: Enjoy delicious snacks.

Usually the first layer of the three-story tower is filled with various salty sandwiches, such as ham, cheese and other flavors, but these sandwiches are not made by the pastry chef, but by another sandwich chef.Desserts are placed on the second and third floors. Generally speaking, strawberry tarts are placed on the second floor, which is a must for English afternoon tea. Others, such as puffs, biscuits or chocolates, can be matched by the chef. There is no fixed dessert on the third floor, but the chef chooses suitable desserts, usually cakes and fruit tarts
After the British afternoon tea, which pays attention to everything in everything, spread across the ocean to my country, the refreshments have also made some changes accordingly, and various new tastes have been developed.There are bite-sized desserts topped with caviar and gherkins, handmade biscuits, and an English muffin called a scone that can be eaten with cream or jam. More than 20 kinds of refreshments are small and exquisite, with different flavors, just like exquisitely crafted works of art, making people linger in the elegant pleasure of appreciating the exquisite products and not willing to taste them.

Part Two: Appreciate the exquisite tea utensils.

Victorian afternoon tea is a comprehensive art, simple but not shabby, gorgeous but not vulgar... Although the time to drink tea and what to eat (referring to pure English snacks) are the most important parts of orthodox English afternoon tea, without good tea, porcelain, music, and even a good mood, drinking afternoon tea will be a fly in the ointment.

The third part: Tasting tea.

Afternoon tea, "tea" is the absolute protagonist.The special afternoon tea is divided into Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Ceylon tea and so on.Generally, the tea leaves are brewed directly, and then the tea dregs are filtered out with a tea filter before being poured into a cup for drinking.Transparent glass teapot, when hot water is poured down, you can see the tip of tea leaves slowly blooming in the water.The most beautiful is rose tea. Watching the small rose petals dance in the water, my mood also dances.But in this season, milk tea is my favorite.The combination of black tea and milk is like an elegant aristocrat meeting a celebrity gentleman. Whether it is a sip or a big sip, in the cold winter, hot milk tea is undoubtedly a warming secret recipe, which instantly slips from the tip of the tongue to the wall of the stomach. After a long time, there is still a touch of sweetness in the mouth, which is memorable. The simple and honest pineapple buns are both Chinese and Western, and milk tea can be happily accompanied.

But Li Yuxin and Yangyang didn't know the Portuguese tea drinking habits, and didn't know whether they also put white sugar in the tea they drank like the British, so Li Yuxin nervously stared at the teapot in Yangyang's hand, watching him fill Paulus' cup with the tea in the pot.Mendes thanked him in blunt English, raised the teacup to his nose, sniffed it, and drank it down.After drinking the tea in the cup, he handed the teacup to Yangyang again, and said in English: "Lovely Yangyang, please have another cup."

The atmosphere in the room became more harmonious after Mendes finished the first cup of tea cooperatively, and Yangyang happily filled his teacup with black tea with white sugar added.

Seeing Mendes drinking his second cup of tea like a British gentleman, Li Yuxin and Yangyang couldn't help admiring the cultivation level of this international broker!And Mendes came uninvited because of the incident a day ago:

Turning the time back to a day ago, Mourinho, who was in a bad mood, did not communicate with Mendes in the office as usual, but chose a coffee shop.

"boom--"

"Jorge, they are simply deceiving people too much."

Mendes knows that what Mourinho really cares about is the transfer of these companies.So he folded the newspaper, put it on top, and said with a smile: "There's no need to be angry. Last year it was just a blunder, and it's fine to win this year."

"Everyone is improving their strength. But Chelsea have not moved at all. And look at the transfer this summer, who has discussed with me."

This is what Mourinho is most dissatisfied with.Mourinho is a very controlling head coach, and he does not allow anyone else to intervene in the competitive field.But this summer Chelsea's signings as the head coach turned out to be a decoration.

Chelsea are spending money now.That is from the introduction of Ballack and Shevchenko, but these two transfers were not discussed with Mourinho at all.Then there was no response to Mourinho's request.

Chelsea's transfer is completely different from Mourinho's signing idea.Seeing Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool all expanding their strength, Mourinho couldn't help being angry.

"Jose, calm down. You are too disrespectful to Roman. It's okay to use Shevchenko more."

One of the most direct causes of the current problem is Shevchenko's problem.Shevchenko is Abramovich's favorite star, but Mourinho did not reuse Shevchenko much.This seems to be a direct slap in the face of Abramovich, and because of this, there will be a series of things behind.

"I said I don't need Shevchenko, there is no place for him in my team."

Mourinho is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart.He understands a lot of things, but he just can't bear it.Since I am the head coach of the club, it is logical that I should be responsible for the club's competitive aspects.Abramovich is rich, Peter.Kenyon is a myth in commercial promotion, but what qualifications do they have to judge themselves in the competitive field.Do they understand what football is? Do they understand football tactics? Since they are the head coaches, they should believe in themselves and trust themselves.Instead of interfering with your own coaching.

"Jose, you..."

Mendez shook his head.It's hard for him to say anything about a character like Mourinho.Although such a character is easy to offend people, but now Mourinho has such a high popularity in European football, why is it not because of this character.

In terms of performance, there are not a few coaches who are as famous as Mourinho at present.Like Ancelotti and Benitez, their results are no worse than Mourinho.But the two of them are not as popular as Mourinho when they are tied together. In addition to Mourinho's handsome looks, his personality is also a reason.

"Jorge, I don't want to go any further."

If you agree, you will come, if you don't agree, you will go.Mourinho is a proud man, he will not stay in one place.Now that Chelsea's top executives don't trust him, restrict him everywhere, and don't even listen to his opinions on transfers, Mourinho will not stay here with the cheek.If you should go, go, why stay and suffer.

"But, Jose. It's almost January now, and the new season is about to start. What are you going to do with Chelsea at this time? How can you be so irresponsible."

Mendes was startled, and immediately comforted Mourinho.He is not really because of Chelsea, but if Mourinho resigns and leaves by himself, the loss will be great.Mourinho still has a long contract left, which is a big contract exceeding tens of millions of pounds.This big contract cannot be wasted.

"kindness."

Mourinho nodded sullenly.Although Porto is where Mourinho started, it is Chelsea who really made Mourinho famous in world football.Mourinho himself has deep feelings for Chelsea.Hearing what Mendes said, he did feel that he was too impulsive.Leaving now is a big problem for Chelsea's arrangements for this season and next season.

But Mendes next to him has already thought a lot.There are more and more conflicts between Mourinho and Chelsea's top management. From the perspective of this summer's transfer, they completely ignored Mourinho.Mourinho is not a character to swallow his anger, and sooner or later conflicts will break out.Mendes has already begun to think about how to negotiate with Chelsea to get the best breakup fee.

However, the photo of their secret meeting asked the reporter to publish it in the newspaper, which actually made people feel that Li Yuxin was poaching Li Yuxin, which made Li Yuxin very depressed. As a last resort, Mendes had to come to explain. After all, Li Yuxin is his own trump card besides Ronaldo.

"Well, Jose may be leaving?" Li Yuxin asked thoughtfully. It seems that history has not changed because of his arrival. The era of the Blue Army's madman is coming to an end!
"Well, maybe next season, but you can't tell the media about Li, and don't tell others!" Mendes urged

"Well, don't worry, Jorge!" Li Yuxin replied!
