Chapter 176: No Talking While Drinking Tea

Chapter 176: Don't talk while drinking tea

"Since I'm back, hurry up and come to the back kitchen to help me wash the vegetables!" Xia Yu couldn't see how happy she was on her weathered face.I haven't seen my son for a long time, and his first words are as simple as a greeting like "Have you eaten?"

Outsiders can't understand such a father-son relationship. The son has been studying overseas for five years, and the last time he came home was a year and a half ago.When we meet for the first time, do you want to say something?For example, if a person is doing well abroad, it will be fine when he comes back.
Only those old people who have lived in this restaurant for half their lives can understand the complex emotions between the father and son, because no matter how far the son travels, or how long he has been away from home, in his father's heart, he does not seem to have left. .

Charlotte curled her lips, and asked herself to wash the vegetables just after returning home. Is this really okay?No matter what, you should let yourself cook two dishes, the inheritor of a dignified family of chefs has no reason to wash vegetables.

Charlotte's mother quit, and she stared at her husband: "Is there anyone like you as a father? Just let your son wash the vegetables just after he came back?" The dissatisfied look seemed like the other party had made a big mistake. .

Charlotte on the side immediately pretended to massage her mother's shoulders: "Mom is mighty and domineering, my son gave you 32 likes!!"

In front of his son, Xia Yu is as mighty and domineering as a lion, but in front of his wife, he is a gentle hello Kitty.After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "Then what do you say?"

Charlotte was looking forward to his mother letting him go home to rest directly, or simply go home from closing today.But it is destined that Charlotte's thinking is too much, and the reality is more cruel.

"Of course I order and serve the food!" Mother Charlotte said as it should.

Charlotte: "."

What left Charlotte speechless was his father. Xia Yu nodded without hesitation: "It's such a happy decision!"

"Hey, Dad, where's your integrity? Where's your backbone? You can't be so afraid of power, this is not the style of our old Xia family!" Charlotte wept.

Xia Yu originally wanted to go back to the back kitchen, but she stopped when she heard what Charlotte said, turned her back to Charlotte, and said a very calm sentence that made Charlotte unable to calm down: "Since I gave birth to a son like you, I have never been so virtuous. It's a passerby!"

Without waiting for Charlotte to refute after speaking, he went straight into the back kitchen.

Charlotte was helpless: "Mom, to be honest, am I really your own?"

The domineering Mrs. Xia patted Charlotte on the head: "I never told you that we were born!"

Charlotte's egg hurts, is it possible that there is some secret in her own life and death?For a while, words such as adoption, young master, and old servant appeared in Charlotte's mind, and when threaded with a thread, it became a wonderful online novel.

"Then how did I get here?" Charlotte asked expectantly.

Mrs. Xia turned around to greet the new guests: "It's a free phone charge!"

Charlotte: "."

Watching Charlotte put on her apron and honestly go to serve the dishes, the diners were completely speechless about this restaurant. They have never met such a family before. It is so weird.

Wonderful?This is the correct way to open our old Xia family!

Charlotte can finally feel relieved. In a sense, he really just traveled through time and space and returned to the present from a few years later.Rather than some kind of time travel, or parallel space.My parents are still the same parents, even the words they quarreled with themselves have not changed.

It's a bit like dreaming about the future world a few years later in a dream, but when I wake up from the dream, I find that every step of the dream has been confirmed in reality.

But this is not important to Charlotte, his family and friends have not changed.

In fact, although the restaurant in Xia's family is doing well, it is not that busy.A few years ago, Xia Yu accepted Charlotte's proposal, and invited some people to help her wash and prepare dishes, and even invited two chefs who were very good at cooking.So now Charlotte's parents are actually not busy, there are usually people who are busy with these things, his mother usually just does the calculations, and his father only cooks a few very rare signature dishes, and others are busy.

It's just a bit of a surprise today. The waiter who is in charge of the reception outside is a part-time college student here. Usually there are three people in rotation to help, and there are usually two people every day.But today is the day of the university final exam, so none of the three part-time college students came to work, and Mrs. Xia entertained customers in person.

After lunch is over, traditional restaurants usually close to rest and prepare for the next dinner, but this restaurant in Xia's family still has afternoon tea, so it still has to operate normally.

Afternoon tea time is usually not so busy, so Charlotte took a walk to see this ancestral restaurant.The current restaurant is completely different from the one that was handed over to Charlotte's father before.

The building has not changed, it is still the main house of this old courtyard house.The difference is that the decoration has been slightly modified. The bookshelves inside are filled with all kinds of books. There is a pot of green plants on each table, and there are many plants and flowers in the room, which look pleasing to the eye.

There are still many old objects on the shelf, such as old-fashioned black and white TV sets and video recorders, as well as some locomotives and models of the old man.

Looking around, Charlotte realized that even though her father scolded her idea bloodily on the phone, she finally adopted his idea and decorated the whole restaurant in a very literary style!
This is what Charlotte decided to do after being inspired by the travel foodie youth who came to eat in the restaurant.The current catering industry is no longer the era when you can cook with good taste and cheap price to prosper your business.

The current catering industry still has to compete for environment, decoration style and culture.And this hotel of the Xia family has very good resources. After all, this courtyard house is very romantic, so if you make good use of the inside of the restaurant, you don't have to worry about not being able to attract those pretentious, er, literary youths.

The high-quality courtyard environment, coupled with mainstream literary and artistic decorations, is matched with unparalleled food. If it is not popular, there will be problems.

Inspired by Charlotte, even Liu Niang on one side changed her Chuan Chuan Xiang shop.I don't know where to collect some literary and artistic ornaments on the Internet, just put them on the wooden frame in the house, and then made a lot of flowers and green plants.

What surprised Charlotte even more was that several of her seats were placed under the eaves inside and outside the house, and several stone tables and chairs matched the environment.If it is summer, sitting here on the road with a few sticks of incense, and then having a bottle of cold beer, and finally watching the heavy rain in the small courtyard, it is very refreshing to think about it.

"Continuing on like this, our place will become the third paradise for foodies in Chengdu after Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli." Charlotte sighed.

"Jinli and Xiangzi basically take care of tourists. Do you think how many people from Chengdu go there for snacks?" Charlotte's father said abruptly behind him.

Charlotte was taken aback: "Old man, you can't make a sound when you walk?!"

Xia Yu glanced at her son: "I have been standing here for a few minutes, and you are behind me."

Charlotte thought about it carefully. He came back from Liu Niang's side. He walked along the corridor and stood directly in the middle of the door of the main room. He really didn't look at the situation behind the door.

Xia Yu greeted her son: "Come with me!"

The two walked to the very center of the courtyard, where there was an old sycamore tree that could only be kept by a three-person siege. At this time, the leaves of the sycamore tree were green and it was just a shade from the sun.At the far end, near the door, are those few sweet-scented osmanthus trees.

It is worth mentioning that there was once a quack warlock who passed by here and helped Xia Yu count it for free, saying that the feng shui here is excellent, and then he said something: "The fragrance of osmanthus in front of the door, the breeze in the garden Falling into a dream, planting plane trees, attracting phoenixes.”

The words of the wandering Taoist priest were not taken seriously by the Xia family, and they were forgotten after a long time. After all, there were too many liars at that time.

But such a strange thing happened to Charlotte, and then he remembered what the wandering Taoist said back then.Although his words are not very neat, but the meaning is very simple, and basically anyone who has completed nine years of compulsory education can understand the meaning.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but think carefully, could it be that the old Taoist priest had seen everything clearly back then?
Xia Yu interrupted Charlotte's wandering, he beckoned Charlotte to sit down on the stone bench under the sycamore tree, and then started to make tea with a tea set on the table.

Washing cups, washing tea, high flushing, warming pots, and Guan Gong's tour of the city were done in one go. Although Xia Yu is not a tea master, she is still very particular about drinking tea. Even father and son use three teacups when drinking tea. It can be seen from small details, and Charlotte's good tea is naturally influenced by her father since she was a child.

Xia Yu handed the teacup to Charlotte on the left, and Charlotte took it with both hands.

"Not long ago during the Qingming Festival, your second uncle came back to worship the ancestors, and specially gave me some Emei bamboo leaf green! The best Mingqian tea was picked by your cousin, and your second uncle roasted it himself."

Although the uncles of the Xia family were not rich or powerful, their family conditions were not bad, and they belonged to relatively well-to-do families.Xialuo's second uncle contracted a tea mountain on the side of Mount Emei. Due to the low production of bamboo leaves in Emei and the high requirements for tea picking and roasting, the price of Mingqian tea is relatively high every year.

For example, the bamboo leaf green that Charlotte is currently drinking must be picked by a virgin after the first rain before Qingming. Because the tea leaves are from the negative side, even the tea picked by a virgin man is not as good as a virgin. One-thousandth of tea picking.

The specific process of frying tea is not clear to Charlotte, but when I was a child, I went to the second uncle's house in Emei once as a guest, and saw with my own eyes that my second uncle didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights in order to fry a good Zhuyeqing.

And the tea leaves picked by the cousins ​​and cousins ​​themselves, and the tea leaves fried by the second uncle himself are even more pitiful.This kind of tea is not sold by Uncle Xia, and is usually given to relatives, friends, important customers, and masters in Emei Temple.

When Charlotte clinks glasses, she first smells its fragrance, which is fragrant, and then observes the clear and transparent tea soup, then takes a few sips, and finally drank it down!

The mouth is full of fragrance, and the mouth is sweet and long-lasting.

"Good tea!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Xia Yu smiled smugly, her second brother's tea-making skills seemed to have improved a step further.

Then Xia Luo's words made Xia Yu smile on his face.

"It's a waste of such good tea to give you a cook to drink it. I'll take some away tomorrow!"

Xia Yu was very angry: "Could it be possible that you, a brat, can become famous after drinking it?"

"It's better than you, a smelly cook who is all smoked by oil!"

Xia Yu couldn't bear it, picked up a dead sycamore branch on the ground, and slapped it on Charlotte's back: "I taught you not to talk while drinking tea since you were young, and you still can't learn it at this age!"

Charlotte grinned in pain: "."
