Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Facing Wanka's concern, Zeng Wangcai held back and waved his hand, saying, "I brought you gifts from the East. I know everyone likes to drink, but I think it is important to keep a clear mind on such an important occasion, so I suggest that you try the tea I brought."

Xiaobao silently went to get the things Zeng Wangcai had prepared in the car.

"Tea? I like tea very much!" Kidov, as a competent host, immediately showed his expectation, "I especially like black tea, but I don't know much about tea."

Now that the owner has expressed his opinion, it is difficult for others to say anything.

But to be honest, the Russians here all like wine, and not many are interested in tea.

The West, represented by Wanka, is generally more interested in coffee than in tea.

But it doesn’t matter. At this moment, what we are drinking is not tea or wine, but money.

A follower who came back first, carrying a large ham, said: "This top-grade ham was offered by someone at 500 dollars for 500 grams, but I didn't sell it..."

This is a show of pretending to be worth $500 a pound.

Immediately, a young girl came with the corresponding tools and handled the ham very skillfully. After cutting off the unwanted parts, she sliced ​​the ham into thin slices.

The other girls held trays and shared the food with everyone.

Zeng Wangcai was given two thin slices of ham. He saw everyone roughly pick up a slice with their fingers and put it into their mouths, chewing and tasting it carefully, with a look of enjoyment on their faces.

But Zeng Wangcai didn't move. Zeng Wangcai was not very interested in eating it raw.

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhang doesn't like ham?" Kidov found that Zeng Wangcai didn't do anything.

"No, I just don't like this way of eating!" Zeng Wangcai said honestly, "I like to turn ham into a dish and enjoy it after cooking."

"Oh no, that's a huge waste!" The guy who provided the ham was obviously a foodie. He exaggeratedly opposed Zeng Wangcai's opinion, "Top-quality ingredients only need the simplest processing. Let us taste the original flavor of the ingredients."

Zeng Wangcai admitted that this view made sense, but he just didn't want to listen to it now.

"In my opinion, your point of view is wrong." Zeng Wangcai said with a smile, "Different things need to be handled in different ways. It is best to find the correct way to open them..."

When it comes to eating and drinking, when my ancestors were very powerful, your ancestors were still drinking urine.

The best thing you guys do is mix vodka with cucumber and slap your mouth...

The guy wanted to say something, but Zeng Wangcai said disdainfully: "If there is a chance, I will invite everyone to taste our food, but today I can't. Today I can only let everyone taste our black tea."

Kidov intervened at the right time to smooth things over and prevent the atmosphere from becoming tense.

Next came wine and tobacco.

Zeng Wangcai tasted the slightly sour red wine briefly. As for the tobacco, he did not touch it. It was obvious that he did not hold the thing normally and rolled it directly with his hands.

This is not tobacco, this is just... everyone knows what's going on.

You can get high right away after smoking this thing!

Kidov also didn't try tobacco, and neither did Vanka.

Then Wanka's Romanee-Conti came. Seeing this thing, Zeng Wangcai couldn't help but think of the real rich man Mr. Zheng, the ceiling of the Mediterranean hairstyle.

To sum up all the pretentious things above, Wanka’s is the most expensive, a bottle of red wine is $2000, and a cigar is $300.

It’s really expensive!

Finally it was Zeng Wangcai's turn. Xiaobao came in with a bunch of things, making a lot of noise. After he put the things in front of Zeng Wangcai, the foreign girls looked at the objects in confusion.

According to the rules here, whether it is red wine or cigars, these girls will prepare them and then distribute them to the people present.

At this moment, they couldn't touch the things that Xiaobao brought in because they didn't understand them.

"Haha, I'll do it myself!" Zeng Wangcai waved his hand to let the foreign girl leave. "You don't know how to do these things. It's more fun to do things like drinking tea yourself. Please take a seat!"

Kidov watched Zeng Wangcai set up a simple table, and moved a tree stump over to sit on it with great interest.

The same goes for Wanka and others!

Sometimes, a sense of ritual is also part of showing off.

At this time, Zeng Wangcai obviously took the initiative through the sense of ritual. He took out a small charcoal stove and asked Xiaobao to get the fire and burn the fruit charcoal in the small charcoal stove.

"Every detail is important when it comes to real tea drinking!" Zeng Wangcai took out the tea set and introduced it, "The process of making tea can relax us and cultivate our sentiments. We have just used ham and enjoyed tobacco. Now it is the most enjoyable to take a sip of black tea..."

Does drinking tea need to be so complicated?

No one understands...

But this did not prevent Kidov and others from finding beauty in Zeng Wangcai's movements.

"Lina, get some water!" When Kidov saw Zeng Wangcai preparing to boil water, he immediately said to a foreign girl.

"No, no need!" Zeng Wangcai raised his hand to interrupt Kidov, "You just wait, the water for making tea is also very important, not all water is suitable..." As he spoke, Zeng Wangcai took out a kettle from the pile of objects and said, "This is mountain spring water, airlifted here, it's best to use this water to make tea."

Just to have a sip of tea, you airlifted plain water here?

Everyone felt a strong sense of oppression from this incident.

But it's not over yet!

"Tea sets are also very exquisite!" Zeng Wangcai took out a set of exquisite porcelain tea sets. "There are also subtle differences when drinking tea with different tea sets... This ceramic set was used by Mr. Lu Yu, the tea saint of my country. It has a history of more than a thousand years and is well preserved!"

An antique from over a thousand years ago...you use it to make tea?

Kidov was shocked. He picked up a porcelain teacup cautiously and said, "Excuse me, how much is this?"

"The one in your hand, if counted individually, would cost about $100,000, but you can't buy it, it's a one-of-a-kind piece!" Zeng Wangcai explained, "Do you know what a one-of-a-kind piece means? It means there is only one in the world. The price of this set is...more than $3 million."

The level of coolness is just maxed out!

These few inconspicuous cups are almost the entry threshold to tonight's cocktail party.

Zeng Wangcai saw that Changmao was stunned and was very satisfied with his performance.

Obviously, the so-called Lu Yu antiques are all fake, but the value of this set of tea sets is real, but that is measured by the price in later generations.

"The water is boiling!" Zeng Wangcai attracted everyone's attention and continued, "Let's talk about this tea. The variety is Da Hong Pao, produced in Wuyi Mountain in my country. There are only six trees, and the annual output is only 20 grams... Yes, you heard it right. Although the history of these six trees is less than years, the output is very low and very precious..."

Make tea and wash the cups.

Kidov and others listened to Zeng Wangcai's introduction and couldn't help but pick up the teacups to drink.

"Don't drink it, it's for washing cups!" Zeng Wangcai stopped everyone from drinking tea and said with a smile, "Take your time, don't rush, I didn't explain it clearly... This tea is very precious. At its most expensive, it sold for 100 million dollars for 500 grams, but drinking it requires..."

Kidov and his friends were holding tea in their mouths. When they heard the price of the tea, they suddenly thought, even if it was tea used to wash the cups, it could be drunk, right?

Obviously, if we talk about who is better at showing off, we have to look at Zeng Wangcai.

Even though these people didn't know how to drink tea, after being persuaded by Zeng Wangcai, they were willing to sit down and taste it sip by sip.

Tea that costs $100 million per pound, paired with air-shipped spring water, and tea sets that cost $300 million... If you miss out today, will you still have a chance to enjoy it?

No!

"Mr. Zhang knows how to live!" Kidov drank two cups of tea and said with great satisfaction, "Then let's get down to business now, about the equity issue of the Erke Factory..."
