Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Paimeng's eyes widened instantly. Just when she was about to ask Chang Ming why he didn't play according to common sense...she suddenly stopped.

The man in brocade robe in front of him is most likely the owner of Luo Manor mentioned by Old Lu, and what he is interested in are the technological means similar to Xumi and Fengdan...

Judging from the current situation, the most appropriate thing to do is to use an expatriate from the General Affairs Department to handle this matter. This will not only have credibility but will also have more obvious effects.

Moreover, they were not afraid of these people investigating, not to mention that Chang Ming was by their side, not to mention that the two of them had a good relationship with Qixing.

Thinking of this, Paimon nodded immediately, then shook his little finger and said:

"That's right, we are the expatriates from the General Affairs Department. We heard that Qiaoying Manor encountered some problems this time, so we came here to help!"

Hearing this, Uncle Luo nodded slightly, then put on a business smile and said:

"Welcome, welcome! You are such a rare guest, but you have already heard about this year's situation..."

"Well, logically speaking, we should invite the two distinguished guests who have come from afar to taste the new tea, but this year's tea... well, it's hard to describe..."

"Master Luo, don't worry! We are here to solve this problem!"

"Hahaha...ok."

Uncle Luo lowered his head slightly while responding to Paimeng, as if he was choosing his words. After a while, he gently shook his head and said:

"To be honest, I don't know whether this batch of tea was bad when it was picked, or whether the machines in our tea-roasting workshop are not working properly."

"Ha, that's not difficult! Can't you just compare the previous stock with the tea you're making this time? If one of the teas you're trying is normal, then it's definitely not a problem with the machine."

Old Lu looked at Manor Master Luo in front of him and said with certainty.

"According to common sense...it is indeed true."

Chang Ming nodded, agreeing with Old Lu's point of view.

"As far as I know, tea leaves that have been stored for less than three years will not be very different from freshly roasted ones. The only difference is the aroma and the number of times the tea can be refilled."

"So... Mr. Luo, my personal opinion is the same as Mr. Lu's. Is it the tea or the machine that is not good? We will know after we give it a try."

Hearing this, a look of surprise emerged on Master Luo's face, and then he set his eyes on the old tea in Old Lu's hand.

"Well... never mind. Since you have spoken, let's give it a try according to your method, Jin! Do we still have any stock of the previous batches of fresh tea?"

"Also, they're all in the warehouse, what's going on?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Do you have any sense? Go to the warehouse and get some fresh tea, and stir-fry it in the same way as the tea that Old Lu sent. I'm watching!"

"Yes!"

......

Soon, the worker called Ajin placed the two portions of roasted tea in front of him.

Although the difference doesn't seem to be that big, but... for something like tea, you can only know its exact quality after you brew it.

Looking at the green tea leaves in front of him, Paimeng blinked slightly, then looked at Chang Ming and Funina beside him, and said thoughtfully:

"I remember Chang Ming and Funina often drink tea, right? Every time I went to the office to see Chang Ming, you were basically drinking tea. So, can you tell whether the tea is good or not?"

"Ah? Well... Lady Funina and I usually drink black tea. We rarely drink green tea produced in Liyue, but... we can still tell the difference between good and bad teas."

Hearing this, Manor Master Luo's eyes lit up slightly, and then he called out loudly:

"Ah Jin! Where is he? Where is he hiding to slacking off again? Come and make tea for the guests!"

"Oh! Here it comes!"

Ajin, who was called, quickly ran to the crowd with a pot of boiling water, quickly brewed tea and placed it in front of Chang Ming and Funina.

"You two, please enjoy your meal."

As Ajin spoke, he walked away carrying the kettle.

"Hey... this guy is really..."

Master Luo looked at the figure gradually going away, seeming a little helpless.

Chang Ming pursed his lips and smiled, then he and Funina began to taste the two cups of tea simultaneously.

Although the two of them often drink sweet black tea, the taste difference between the two green teas is too great. Both Chang Ming and Funina find it a little...hard to swallow.

"Uh..."

After drinking two cups of tea, Funina held her forehead and said strangely:

"They are made in the same way... Why does one have a refreshing fragrance, while the other has a weird taste..."

Hearing this, a dazed look suddenly appeared on Master Luo's face. Then he poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it hurriedly.

As expected, when he tasted the tea made from the freshly roasted tea, the expression on his face instantly changed as if he had eaten a fly.

——It tastes bad.

——It’s not just unpalatable.

Seeing the expression on Master Luo’s face, even the most dull-witted person would be able to react to what had happened.

A smile like a winner suddenly appeared on Old Lu's face, and then he said patiently:

“It’s all the same process, so even if the quality of the tea drops due to improper picking or roasting, it won’t have a “weird taste.”

"So...it's not the machine's problem at all, it's the tea leaves' problem."

"Because of the imbalance of water and soil in Chenyu Valley, that's why——"

"Okay, Old Lu, I know what you want to say."

Manor Master Luo sighed slightly, interrupted Old Lu's next speech, and then continued:

"This batch of tea is far inferior to the previous batches in terms of quality, and that's a problem with the tea itself."

"As for whether it's because of the imbalance of water and soil, or because the big tea kettle has been in disrepair for a long time and the immortal has punished it... We don't know either."

“But since we have already invited the technician who maintains the tea kettle from the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, we might as well do this to the end.”

"Hiss... What was that man's name? Walter... Walter what? Forget it, his name is too difficult to pronounce. Ah Jin, go to Yilongbu--"

As Master Luo spoke, he looked around for Ajin, but he couldn't see the laborer at all, and a look of helplessness emerged on his face.

"This guy has disappeared again... Never mind, I'll go there myself."

Hearing this, Paimeng looked at Chang Ming beside him, and quickly winked at Ying, indicating that she should take over this task.

Although Ying didn't know what Paimon was planning, she still said quite honestly:

"Master Luo, there is no need to go to such trouble. I just happen to be going to Yilongbu to do some things, so... I can give him a message."

"As for the tea matter...I will stay in Yilong Port for a while. If you need anything or need any changes, just come to me."
