Chapter 350: As soon as he took a bite, he knew that the tea leaves were grown at an altitude of several hundred meters.
Yu Shuichun took me to the Lihua Hotel at exactly 5:30. I sat down at the leisure teahouse next to the lobby.
When Baibai came in, I stood up and called him twice. He responded and walked towards me.
We sat down, and I said, "I've already explained the situation in the History Hall. When you're there, please keep your mouth shut, especially don't make jokes about women. Just talk about food or other small talk, but don't touch on the gay scene."
He nodded and said, "Okay."
"Secondly, you have to act rich and ask them if they like seafood. If they say yes, order seafood. If they say they only like Upstate food, order something more expensive."
He said, "Teacher Wan, don't worry. I won't be stingy."
After giving the instructions, I asked about Chen Ting's situation. He told me that Chen Ting was becoming more and more mature and was recently reading a book on physiognomy at home.
I laughed and said, "It's impossible to understand this without guidance. It's just like acupuncture. The book says that a certain acupoint is located in a certain place, but it's just a description. To really get it right, you need a master to teach you step by step."
"He probably suffered from a misjudgment of people. That's why he read physiognomy books."
"In fact, if you are not a professional fortune teller, you just need to remember Zeng Guofan's four words."
"Which four sentences?"
“Good and evil are judged by the eyes and nose, and truth and falsehood by the lips.
To judge whether a man's mind is right or not, one must look at his eyes. To judge whether a man is sincere or false, one must look at his mouth and lips.
"How do you explain this?"
"Shifty eyes, crooked nose, evil intentions; square, round, big, thick mouth, loyal and reliable; thin lips, be careful."
"What about the second sentence?"
“Success depends on character, wealth depends on spirit.
A person's aura and demeanor can reveal his future success and his mental outlook can reveal his future wealth.
"People with strong aura can infect and influence those around them. When everyone adds fuel to the fire, the future is limitless. A person with strong spirit, who is indomitable in the face of setbacks and difficulties, will eventually achieve great success."
"Oh, what's the third sentence?"
"The idea is in the fingertips, and the storm is in the tendons.
People with long, thin fingers are often intellectual workers, with a delicate mind and many ideas. They are also well-educated. On the other hand, people with short, thick fingers lack independent thinking and determination.
A person with strong hamstrings, a healthy body, and abundant energy is more capable of doing hard and tiring work and can stand firmer in the face of adversity.
"And the fourth sentence?"
“If you want to see the logic, it’s all in the language.
"To judge whether a person's thinking is organized, you need to look at what he says. See if his words are logical. People who speak without logic are unreliable."
Mingbai smiled and said, "This is what Master Zeng calls the simple judgment method."
"The above four points are basically correct. If they are not correct, this is for men and may not be accurate for women."
"Why?"
"Because Zeng Guofan's four points were mainly for selecting his own generals. For example, in the second sentence, he believed that big, round, and thick lips were good. If a woman had lips like this, it would be difficult for her to get married.
I understand.
"And fourthly, a person's hamstrings need to be strong and robust to have steadiness. Women with these 'elephant legs' can't wear short skirts and stockings. They're probably the type to marry later in life, and they blame all the men for not knowing what they're made of."
Mingbai pressed his chest and said with a smile, "You are much more approachable than you were that night."
I said, "The theme of tonight is to be relaxed, so let me help you adjust the atmosphere first."
At this moment, my cell phone rang.
"Oh, all right. Come up when you get to the gate."
I stood up and said, "The Pineapple Room on the second floor."
As we walked, I explained to Mingbai that all the private rooms in this hotel are named after fruits. Pineapple, along with coconut, mango, and banana, are known as the four major tropical fruits. Choosing a room named after pineapple signifies a close relationship.
"Is there any knowledge in this?"
"Of course, that's what business people pay attention to. Pineapple is also called pineapple, and pineapple is sweet."
Ming Bai said: "It is indeed exquisite."
I whispered, "They are particular, so I have business."
The two of them went up to the second floor while talking and laughing. The waiter stood at the entrance of the lobby and asked, "Sir, did you make a reservation or..."
"The Pineapple Room."
"Oh—please follow me." The waiter bowed slightly and led the way in front. I whispered to him, "This kind of legs doesn't meet Zeng Guofan's standards."
I understand. Don't smile away.
When we arrived at the door of the box, Yishu was the first to see us and came over to greet us.
Mingbai and I walked over. Shi Ting had already stood up. Nearby, another man, about forty years old, with a pale, beardless face and a slightly plump figure, also stood up.
I introduced: "I understand, that is, you understand there are no two words, order chef."
Then he introduced Shi Ting and Yishu to Mingbai.
Shi Ting hesitated for a moment, looked at my face, then at Mingbai, reached out his hand and shook Mingbai's, then asked, "Is there such a profession?"
Ming Bai said, "I am good at eating, so Teacher Wan gave me this title. I work in the Construction Department."
Shi Ting pointed at my nose and said, "You're just teasing me! You're just teasing me!"
At this time, Yishu introduced me to the white-faced, beardless man: "This is also a master, Master Zhang Chi from the Provincial Tea Company. He is a friend of mine and Mr. Shi."
I extended my hand and shook it, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Master Zhang Yiyao, the 'accurate one-shot'."
Zhang Chi laughed and said, "Compared to that master like you, Mr. Wan, I am nothing."
"No, you're a master awarded by the government. Mine is just a nickname given to me." I turned to Mingbai and explained that Mr. Zhang Chi only needed to bite the tea leaves to know that they were grown on a hillside several hundred meters above sea level."
Mingbai reached out and shook Zhang Chi's hand, saying, "I've heard a lot about you."
Zhang Chi said to me, "You know about my little fame?"
I smiled and said, "Once someone gave me a box of tea. He said it was authentic Taiwanese Alishan tea, grown on a hillside at an altitude of 800 meters, and it had been authenticated by Mr. Zhang Chi.
I can't doubt him either. After he leaves, I'll search for Zhang Chi Tea on Baidu, and your name will be etched in my mind."
He said, "It's fate, it's fate."
Shi Ting said: "You will give Master Zhang a fortune telling later, and Master Zhang will teach you how to bite the altitude."
Everyone laughed.
I said, "Mr. Shi, today's meal is hosted by Mingbai."
He asked, "Why?"
"When I come back, you have to welcome me home. When you leave, I have to see you off. We'll just cancel each other out. It's like the Chinese teacher and the math teacher fighting over extra lessons, and the students say, let's just have physical education instead."
Everyone laughed, and I glanced at Yishu. Yishu said, "That's fine. You can treat me next time."
Shi Ting refused, so I said, "Cook, please order."
Ming Bai asked, "Does seafood suit your taste?"
Shi Ting said, "Let's not eat seafood. If you must treat us, let's eat Shangzhou cuisine. The chefs here are very good at cooking seafood."
Mingbai went to take the order with the waiter, and Shi Ting and I continued chatting. However, Shi Ting was still uneasy, probably wondering why Mingbai had invited us to dinner.
