Chapter 73 It’s too early
Gao Moqi missed Mo Qingyan's kumquat lemon tea yesterday and had originally planned to drink it today.
Unexpectedly, today the H City Food Association suddenly called him and asked him to come over for a video conference to discuss the change of time and place for the state banquet-level chef competition.
Normally, meetings would be announced in advance. The reason why this time it was so sudden was entirely because the time and location of the state banquet-level chef competition were changed at the last minute.
Originally, this state banquet chef competition was to be held in Hai City next month.
However, the foreign food association suddenly proposed to the Chinese food association to hold an international food exchange meeting next month.
I hope that by then, China can send young chefs under the age of 30 to the state banquet.
Therefore, the state banquet-level chef competition was temporarily decided to be held in advance.
The third-level state banquet chef competition will be held in Shangjing together with the second-level and first-level state banquet chef competitions.
Gao Moqi is the chief judge of this third-level state banquet chef competition, so he is required to participate in discussions via video regarding all matters related to the state banquet chef competition.
So, even though he was reluctant, Gao Moqi had no choice but to go.
Unexpectedly, this meeting lasted for several hours.
When he came back, it was already afternoon and Mo Qingyan's kumquat lemon tea had been sold out.
Gao Moqi heard from Xu Yi that Mo Qingyan made him a large cup of kumquat lemon tea.
But Xu Yi drank it all.
Xu Yi still shouted that he hadn't drunk enough.
They asked Gao Moqi if he could find a way to buy some Biluo tea leaves so that they could make their own kumquat lemon tea.
Gao Moqi asked him curiously, if he wanted to drink it, he could just buy it tomorrow, why did he have to make it himself.
After all, even if the ingredients are the same, the taste will be different when cooked by different people.
The key to the delicious kumquat lemon tea is that Mo Qingyan personally supervises the most important step.
The tea base and the concentration of honey determine the taste of kumquat lemon tea.
However, Xu Yi said that Mo Qingyan would stop selling kumquat lemon tea after she sold it today because she had run out of tea leaves.
Xu Yi sighed, "Mo Qi, I think you and Brother Mo are not meant to be together. Look, you've missed Brother Mo several times."
Gao Moqi glanced at him calmly and said, "Whether we are destined to be together or not is not up to you to decide."
"You said that as if I wanted to break you and Brother Mo apart. If someone didn't know, they would think you and Brother Mo were in love!"
Xu Yi suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, "Mo Qi, why don't you go chase Brother Mo? Brother Mo is rich, handsome, and a great cook. He's simply the ideal life partner. If you can chase Brother Mo, then I won't have to worry about eating for free for the rest of my life, right?"
Xu Yi felt extremely happy when he thought that in the future he would be able to go to Mo Qingyan for free food and drinks at any time like Song Beichen and others.
In response to Xu Yi's fantastic idea, Gao Moqi only said, "The sun has set now."
So don't daydream.
Gao Moqi treats the matter of love very seriously and solemnly.
From the way he chooses his friends, we can tell that he is a very cautious person.
The partner he is looking for can only be the one he likes and wants to find.
Rather than the kind of thing you seek just to achieve a goal.
Now, Gao Moqi felt that he simply admired Mo Qingyan and regarded him as a friend.
In the evening, Mo Qingyan sent him a message asking him if he wanted to go jogging, and Gao Moqi agreed.
He had originally made an appointment with Mo Qingyan to drink the kumquat lemon tea he made, but he broke the appointment.
No matter what, I should explain it to Mo Qingyan.
What Gao Moqi didn't expect was that Mo Qingyan actually brought him a cup of kumquat lemon tea.
"Here, your kumquat lemon tea." Mo Qingyan handed the kumquat lemon tea to Gao Moqi.
Gao Moqi took the kumquat lemon tea handed to him by Mo Qingyan and was a little surprised.
"Isn't it gone?"
"Just because there is no tea in the store doesn't mean I have no tea." Of course Mo Qingyan had to leave some tea for herself.
After all, he also likes this tea very much.
"Thank you." Gao Moqi immediately inserted the straw and took a sip.
The sour and sweet taste instantly conquered Gao Moqi's taste buds.
The first thing you taste when you take a bite is the refreshing aroma of kumquat and lemon.
Although these two things have a fresh fragrance, they taste sour and astringent, and are generally used as seasonings.
But it was the first time for people like Mo Qingyan to use it to make tea.
After the refreshing fragrance of kumquat and lemon, the fragrance of Biluo tea follows.
The tea fragrance of Biluo is very strong, but in this tea, the tea fragrance of Biluo does not even cover up the fragrance of kumquat and lemon.
On the contrary, they move forward one after another, step by step, and are quite harmonious.
The proportions of all ingredients are well controlled, not too much or too little.
After the rich tea aroma has passed, you can faintly taste the sweet aftertaste of lychee flowers.
Gao Moqi said to Mo Qingyan, "Did you add lychee honey?"
Mo Qingyan gave him a thumbs up, "You are indeed a gourmet. Yes, I added lychee honey. Although the taste of lychee honey is a bit mixed, it can suppress the sour taste of kumquat and lemon very well. At the same time, it can also enhance the flavor."
There are many varieties of lychees, and each one tastes different, so the floral scent is also different.
Therefore, the taste of litchi honey is a bit messy.
Those who like lychee honey will find it very fragrant.
If you don’t like lychee honey, you will think it tastes weird.
Although the taste of lychee honey is complex, it is very sweet. Often, just adding a little bit of honey water can make very sweet honey water.
Besides being sweet, lychee honey also has the effect of nourishing the skin and lubricating the intestines.
Mo Qingyan chose to use litchi honey to make kumquat lemon tea, which is the best choice.
Everything in this kumquat lemon tea is just right.
After kumquat lemon tea is refrigerated and ice cubes are added, the taste is greatly improved.
After taking a bite, you will feel as if your soul is completely cleansed.
All the heat in my body was eliminated.
The whole person feels thoroughly refreshed.
Gao Moqi commented: "Good tea."
This is indeed a good cup of tea.
For traditional tea ceremony lovers, this kumquat lemon tea is rebellious and unreasonable.
But for people who are open to new things, this kumquat lemon tea is fantastic, imaginative, and incredible.
Gao Moqi is not the kind of person who sticks to the rules. People who stick to the rules cannot become qualified gourmets.
After all, all delicious food requires imagination and innovation.
"The proportions of all the ingredients in your cup of tea are close to perfect."
Mo Qingyan was happy when Gao Moqi gave her high recognition.
"Thank you for the compliment, judge. I won't charge you for this cup of kumquat lemon tea."
Gao Moqi nodded, "Thank you."
Mo Qingyan patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "After all, I am also in your friend list, so I still have to treat you to a cup of kumquat lemon tea."
Judge Gao was slightly stunned, knowing that Mo Qingyan was teasing him about what he had asked his friend to verify yesterday.
Apart from Xu Yi and a few others, there were really few people who joked with him like this.
This relaxed feeling seems pretty good.
"I have something to tell you." Gao Moqi said to Mo Qingyan, "The time and location of next month's Level 3 State Banquet Chef Competition have been changed."
Mo Qingyan asked curiously: "Why did it change suddenly?"
Gao Moqi said, "Next month, there will be an international food exchange meeting abroad, and we are inviting Chinese state banquet chefs under the age of 30 to participate."
Mo Qingyan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Then what time was it and where did it change to?"
"Time: 30th of this month, location: Shangjing Food Hall."
"Wouldn't that mean it would be held together with the Level 2 and Level 1 State Banquet Chef Competition?"
Mo Qingyan had read the time and location of each state banquet chef competition sent to him by Gao Moqi.
The Level 1 State Banquet Chef Competition is held half a month earlier than the Level 3 State Banquet Chef Competition this year.
Now, if the time of the Level 3 State Banquet Chef Competition is moved forward half a month, it will coincide with the Level 2 and Level 1 State Banquet Chef Competition.
Moreover, the venue of the competition happens to be Shangjing Food Hall.
The artificial lake is quite large. If you run around it, it is about six or seven hundred meters.
Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi jogged for an hour, and at most ran a dozen laps.
An hour later, Mo Qingyan parted with Gao Moqi in a sweat.
When Mo Qingyan returned to the villa, Song Beichen and others were still playing games.
Mo Qingyan greeted them and went upstairs.
Yin Yiyi asked in confusion: "Do you think Brother Mo is acting strange today?"
Song Beichen continued playing games while answering, "Weird? Weird and beautiful? Oh my, Tao Zui, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Come up and save me, I'm almost dead."
Qi Na said speechlessly: "What kind of cheesy love talk are you talking about? Yiyi meant that Brother Mo might have another dog outside.
"What, there are other dogs?" Song Beichen threw down the game controller in his hand and said in disbelief, "Which fox dog out there dares to seduce our Brother Mo?"
"Who knows where this fox dog came from? He's quite powerful. He even got Brother Mo to personally treat us to kumquat lemon tea. We have to pay for the food if we want to drink it!"
As the saying goes, extreme jealousy makes people ugly. Zina felt that she was very ugly now.
Tao Zui watched Song Beichen throw down the controller, and he also threw down the controller and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the dog that hooked Brother Mo out should be Gao Moqi."
"Gao Moqi?" Yin Yiyi asked, "Does he live here too? How did you know?"
Tao Zui took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and said, "When Brother Mo went out for a walk last night, I happened to go upstairs to make a phone call. I saw Gao Moqi and Brother Mo standing under the street light by the lake and chatting on the balcony of my room."
"Wait, it seems like we are quite far from the lake, how do you know it is Gao Moqi?" Yin Yiyi asked puzzledly.
They were several hundred meters away from the lake. Even if they stood on the balcony, it was difficult to see the people on the other side of the lake clearly, especially at night when the light was dim.
Song Beichen said: "Of course Taozui can see it, because he is farsighted. He can see things very far away. Moreover, he can see especially clearly at night."
Song Beichen grew up with Taozui and knew that Taozui's farsightedness was congenital.
Yin Yiyi was a little surprised, "Are you farsighted? Sometimes when I see you wearing glasses, I thought you were nearsighted!"
"Oh, whether Tao Zui is farsighted or nearsighted is not the point. The point is that Brother Mo has someone else outside." Song Beichen covered his chest and said with a distressed look on his face: "No wonder Brother Mo specially made a large cup of kumquat lemon tea for Gao Moqi today. I thought he really wanted to bribe Gao Moqi. It turns out that it's because they are together?"
"I think that they are not together, maybe we just misunderstood?" Yin Yiyi's woman's intuition told her that Brother Mo was not in a relationship now.
"Didn't you just say that there was something wrong with Brother Mo? It's you who are saying there is a misunderstanding." Song Beichen felt that Yin Yiyi's words were too unreliable.
Yin Yiyi rolled her eyes at Song Beichen and said, "Just because something is wrong doesn't mean they are together. They may still be in the ambiguous stage."
"We are just guessing now. Let's go there together tomorrow night and we will know." Tao Zui yawned, stood up and said, "Let's stop talking. It's late. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
Song Beichen also stretched and said, "I'm going to take a shower too. I've been cutting lemons all day, and I smell like lemons all over."
Then the group of people went back to their rooms, took a shower and went to bed.
After Mo Qingyan finished taking a shower, she opened the lottery page.
Sure enough, the spending progress bar has been fully filled.
Mo Qingyan immediately chose the bicycle worth 80 million.
[Congratulations to the host for winning the Blue Tail Limited Edition bicycle. The prize will be delivered at 9 am tomorrow. Please check it. 】
The bicycle will arrive tomorrow morning, so let's go out and have some fun tomorrow.
Mo Qingyan immediately went to check and found that there was a tree-lined road on the beach that was quite suitable for cycling.
Mo Qingyan immediately sent a message to Gao Moqi.
Mo Qingyan: Are you asleep?
Gao Moqi: No.
Mo Qingyan: Are you free tomorrow? Interested in cycling on the beach? I'm getting a new bike tomorrow and I want to go out and try it out.
Gao Moqi: Yes.
Mo Qingyan: Do you have a bicycle? No, I'll buy you one?
It was the first time that Gao Moqi encountered Mo Qingyan's behavior of giving away a car without saying a word, even if it was a bicycle.
Thinking of the scene when Mo Qingyan bought things at high prices and sold them at low prices, Gao Moqi suddenly felt that there was nothing strange about giving away a bicycle.
However, Gao Moqi himself is rich and would not accept gifts without merit. He has already accepted a cup of kumquat lemon tea from Mo Qingyan today, so he definitely cannot accept this car.
Gao Moqi: No need, I have it.
Mo Qingyan: Okay, let’s gather at the gate of the community at 10 o’clock tomorrow.
Gao Moqi: Okay.
After making an appointment with Gao Moqi, Mo Qingyan fell asleep.
The next day, because they didn't have to open the store, Mo Qingyan and the others got up a little late. After breakfast, it was almost nine o'clock.
After breakfast, Tao Zui asked Mo Qingyan, "Brother Mo, what are your plans for today?"
Mo Qingyan replied: "I'm going to ride my bike to the beach. It just so happens that my bike is almost here today."
"Going to the beach to ride a bike? That's possible. I want to go too." Song Beichen just likes to join in the fun.
"Do you have a bicycle?" Mo Qingyan asked him.
Song Beichen said: "I don't have one, but why not just go buy one now? I have time after breakfast."
"Cycling? Then Zina and I won't go. The sun is too strong outside. Zina and I have an appointment to get a beauty treatment." Yin Yiyi and Zina made an appointment last night to get a full body beauty treatment together today.
I've been running around a lot lately and haven't had time to take good care of my skin.
Tao Zui said: "Then I'll go cycling with you, Brother Mo. It happens that I haven't exercised for a long time."
Song Beichen said, "By the way, Brother Mo, what kind of bicycle did you buy? I'll buy one too."
Mo Qingyan reminded: "My bicycle is not cheap, are you sure you want to buy it?"
The audience in the live broadcast room became curious when they heard Mo Qingyan say the three words "not cheap".
"What kind of bicycle did Brother Mo buy that makes him feel it's not cheap?"
"Yeah, Brother Mo is the kind of person who can spend 20 million on tea without blinking an eye."
"Could that bicycle cost several million?"
"A multi-million-dollar bicycle? Made of gold?"
"Who is our Brother Mo? He is a super spendthrift. Even if the bicycle is made of gold, Brother Mo can afford it."
…
Song Beichen didn't think a bicycle could be that expensive.
"It's just a bicycle, how expensive can it be?" Song Beichen said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Brother Mo, I haven't spent much of this month's pocket money yet, let alone one bicycle, I can even afford ten. Brother Mo, what brand is your bicycle? I'll look for it."
Mo Qingyan opened her mouth and was about to answer.
As a result, the phone suddenly rang.
Mo Qingyan answered the phone and found that it was from the bicycle company.
"Yes, I am. Okay, I'll ask the guard to let you in."
After Mo Qingyan hung up the phone, she picked up the phone in the villa and called the security guard.
Then he said to Song Beichen: "It just so happens that my car has arrived. You can come and have a look later."
A large truck slowly drove into the villa area.
Then it stopped at the door of the villa where Mo Qingyan and others were.
Then several workers in blue work clothes got off the truck.
The team leader walked up to Mo Qingyan holding a document.
"Hello, Mr. Mo. I am the person in charge of transporting your car. Your car has been delivered. Do you want to unload it here, or do you have a designated unloading location?"
Mo Qingyan looked at the large truck in front of her and said, "Let's unload it here."
"OK."
Several staff members immediately took action.
Song Beichen and others were standing beside Mo Qingyan, and they were surprised when they heard the words "Blue Tail Seiko".
Song Beichen couldn't help but ask, "Brother Mo, is the bicycle you bought a blue-tailed one?"
Bluetail Seiko is the top automobile brand in China. It is also one of the world's top automobile brands.
Blue Tail only makes high-end cars, and the prices of its cars start at at least one million.
Of course, in addition to cars, Blue Tail also makes bicycles.
However, the price of a blue-tailed bicycle also starts at one million.
However, not everyone can buy a car with a blue tail.
Because I want to buy a car in Lanwei, I need to verify my funds.
Cars of different prices require different amounts of capital verification.
Moreover, the card used for capital verification must be your own card.
If you want to buy a million-dollar car, you must have over 10 million yuan.
If the car you want to buy is worth tens of millions, then the funds must be over 100 million.
Rich second-generations like Song Beichen usually use their family’s credit cards to pay.
Therefore, they are not actually qualified to buy a blue-tail car.
I can't even afford a million-dollar car.
Don’t think that these second-generation rich people are rich just because they spend money lavishly.
In fact, these second-generation rich people basically don’t do business and make money. I used the cards given by my family.
There are very few people like Mo Qingyan who can easily take out tens of millions in cash.
While watching the staff unloading the bike, Mo Qingyan answered Song Beichen: "Yes, it's the blue-tailed one. This bike is very beautiful. I fell in love with it at first sight. Didn't you say you wanted to buy one too? Otherwise, why don't you order one while their staff is here? However, if you order it now, it may not be delivered today."
Song Beichen smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Mo, stop joking. You should have said earlier that you bought a blue-tailed bicycle! How can I afford a blue-tailed bicycle?"
Tao Zui smiled and said, "Isn't it too early to brag?"
Song Beichen said embarrassedly: "It's too early to say that. My face hurts a lot now."
Tao Zui laughed at him, "Don't you think about it, can anything Brother Mo buys be cheap? Judging from the appearance, this car must cost at least five million. Right, Brother Mo?"
Mo Qingyan: "Uh..."
Should I tell Tao Zui honestly that his vision has become narrow-minded?
Seeing that Mo Qingyan didn't answer, Tao Zui thought he guessed right.
A bicycle worth five million is already very expensive for Taozui and others.
After all, their sports cars only cost a few million.
When the bicycles were unloaded and the staff opened the outer packaging, revealing the entire bicycle, Song Beichen and others were amazed.
The car is so beautiful, with blue and white as the main colors, and the body design is light and simple yet not simplistic.
The body and wheels have blue feather prints.
When the sunlight shines on it, it immediately reflects colorful light.
That is the unique mark of the blue tail.
“This car is so beautiful!”
"Yeah, it's so beautiful."
Even Yin Yiyi and Qi Na were attracted by the appearance of the bicycle.
"No, I'll buy one even if I have to sell everything I have." Before, Song Beichen definitely couldn't afford it.
However, after Mingyue Company's business is closed today, he will be able to earn a large sum of money.
If you want to buy a blue tail car worth several million, it is still possible.
Oh my god, this bike is so beautiful and eye-catching. If you ride it on the road, it will be even cooler than driving a sports car.
Song Beichen is so rare.
"Yeah, I want to order one too."
Taozui also took a fancy to this bicycle.
He turned around and asked Mo Qingyan, "Brother Mo, how much is this car?"
Mo Qingyan smiled and said, "It's not expensive, only 80 million."
I thought this bike looked great when I saw it in the picture, but I didn’t expect it to be even more beautiful in person.
Mo Qingyan fell in love with him at first sight.
"How much?" Tao Zui was stunned. Did he hear it wrong?
"80 million."
"80 million?"
Tao Yu suddenly felt something slapping him in the face.
Oh my god, it’s too early!
