Chapter 216: The Fusion of Tea and Coffee
As soon as Director Hu heard Lin Siqiao's tone and saw her expression, he knew that this girl must have discovered something good again.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the tea room, Lin Siqiao pushed a cup of tea over with a smile.
Director Hu considered himself a man who had seen a lot of the world and had drunk a lot of good tea, but this kind of tea was the first time he had seen it.
"Xiaolin, what is this?"
Lin Siqiao knew what this was, but since Master Ji was here, she didn't dare to show off her skills.
"Director Hu, let Master Ji introduce this to you personally."
Hearing this, Master Ji did not refuse and took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Director Hu, this is Tea Opera."
"Tea opera?"
"Yes."
In front of Director Hu, Master Ji told the story in detail, and Lin Siqiao gained a lot of knowledge after listening.
Before, she only knew that this was called Tea Art.
The reason I knew about this was because I was browsing Tik Tok when I was bored and came across the tea-fighting segment in the drama.
At first, Lin Siqiao thought that these were all fabricated, or that they were just skills that had been lost for a long time and existed in ancient books.
After all, whether in Shanghai or the capital, Lin Siqiao has never seen any store launch a drink related to Cha Baixi!
Unexpectedly, some time ago, Fang’s people bought a lot of tea before returning to China.
As an entourage, Lin Siqiao also visited many tea shops.
While chatting with the tea-making master, Lin Siqiao learned that there really are masters who can make tea arts.
Later, Director Hu handed over the management of the entire restaurant to her.
Lin Siqiao thought of this the first time.
As a unique tea-making culture in China, tea art can make money and promote national culture at the same time. Why not do it?
However, it is still very difficult to find a master who can make tea arts in such a big city like Beijing.
Therefore, Lin Siqiao just wanted to give it a try.
She asked Director Hu to help find a tea art master who was around 50 years old.
What Lin Siqiao didn't expect was that Master Ji was not only able to make it, but he was also one of the inheritors of the tea art.
This was a huge surprise for Lin Siqiao.
After listening to what Master Ji said, Director Hu took a look at the tea in front of him and would be lying if he said he was not surprised.
This is the same Christmas tree that Xiaolin made.
The materials were obviously very ordinary, but they made him feel out of his reach.
But after a moment, Director Hu frowned.
The tea is good, and Master Ji's craftsmanship is indeed superb.
However, not all foreigners appreciate Chinese tea.
It's probably difficult to make money from this, but without waiting for him to speak.
Lin Siqiao poured a cup of black liquid from the pot next to him, and then poured a cup of hot milk and pushed it in front of Master Ji.
Master Ji took a deep breath and carefully recalled the steps that Manager Lin had just mentioned.
Ten seconds later, he started to take action.
Even after Master Ji finished making three cups of coffee, Director Hu's eyes remained unblinking.
He knows about coffee and milk.
But after Master Ji mixed the two, a cute cat inexplicably appeared in the cup!
He didn't even blink. Which step went wrong?
Looking again, there was a cute giant panda in Lin Siqiao's cup, and there was a giraffe in Master Ji's cup.
“This, this, this…”
Director Hu was so excited that his tongue began to get tied. "Master Ji...Master Ji, your skills are amazing!"
"How did you come up with the idea of combining the two? This is simply brilliant!"
At this moment, what else could Director Hu say except applauding?
He was not sure whether the tea would sell well.
But there is no foreigner who doesn't love coffee.
If they saw this thing, these foreigners would be fascinated to death!
Unexpectedly, Master Ji shook his head after hearing this. He had never even tasted coffee, so how could he know all this.
"Director Hu, this was Manager Lin's idea. I just followed her idea. I don't deserve your praise."
"What?"
The look in Director Hu's eyes when he looked at Lin Siqiao could no longer be described as shock.
Kobayashi! Why is it Xiaolin again?
Lin Siqiao was not panicked at all. She knew everything because she had run a coffee shop before.
Both latte art and coffee carving were not invented until the late 1980s.
Of course, the origins of these can also be said to have evolved from tea arts.
To put it bluntly, it is what our ancestors left over.
Anyway, this is a parallel world, and it has logic and facts. What is there to be afraid of Lin Siqiao?
She even prepared the reasons perfectly!
Meeting Director Hu's puzzled look, Lin Siqiao calmly explained.
The reason she gave was very simple, how could she understand this?
Wasn't it that Mr. Johnson's wife invited her to have coffee in the room some time ago?
She found it bitter, so Mrs. Johnson stirred some milk and added it to her drink.
After the milk and coffee were mixed, there was something similar to a heart in the cup.
Just now, when she was chatting with Master Ji, she suddenly remembered it.
So she asked, since both are painting on cups, then the difference between the two shouldn’t be that big, right?
Master Ji listened to her and gave it a try.
After trying it a few times, he found that the idea really worked.
"Director Hu, this is the situation."
Lin Siqiao's expression was as sincere as it could be, but she still said the same thing.
It’s true that she came up with the idea, but in the final analysis, Master Ji’s craftsmanship is still better.
The reason why these patterns look so realistic is all due to Master Ji’s excellent painting skills!
Looking at Director Hu’s expression, Lin Siqiao knew that he must still be confused.
However, Lin Siqiao was very sure that Director Hu did not doubt what she said.
After all, the highest level of lying is that every word she says is true.
It is true that Lin Siqiao was invited to drink coffee in the middle of the night, and it is also true that Johnson's wife added milk to her coffee!
But no one knows whether anything resembling a heart appeared that night.
Even Johnson's wife might not remember, because the cup was in Lin Siqiao's hands from beginning to end.
So, how can it not be up to her?
"Director, in addition to these, Master Ji also knows many kinds of small animals and patterns."
"Do you think it would be feasible to combine tea and coffee?"
Director Hu was unhappy when he heard this. What do you mean by "is it okay?"
He felt that based on this, it would be hard for the restaurant not to be popular after it opened!
…
The busy days passed quickly, and soon it was a week later.
In fact, all preparations for the opening of the restaurant had been made early in the morning.
However, Director Hu felt that if Lin Siqiao was not present for such a big matter, it would feel like something was missing.
So he deliberately set the opening time on the 8th, which happened to be a Saturday.
Recently, foreign guests come to the restaurant every day to inquire about the news.
However, the restaurant employees all spoke with one voice. No matter who came and asked what, they would answer them with the words "stay tuned."
This can be considered to have whetted the appetite of these people.
Especially in the past two days, at Lin Siqiao's request, the restaurant always plays the song " " on a loop at a specific time.
Not only were the foreign guests' appetites whetted, but they even lost interest in their food.
Everyone is shouting "damn it" and it's not even Christmas yet, but their bodies are very honest.
Look, the crackling sound of firecrackers in the morning has not yet ended.
Many foreign guests had already gathered outside the restaurant.
