Chapter 182 Fresh Pine Smoke
Su Zhongkang led Cao Lei to the office where he was just now.

As soon as he entered the door, Deng Yin took out a gift box and forced it to Su Zhongkang, saying: "Congratulations on opening a new teahouse. A small gift is not a respect."

Su Zhongkang didn't reach out to pick it up, but said: "It's good for you to come, what gifts do you bring, it's too polite."

Cao Lei stood aside, took the gift box, and said, "If someone hadn't reported it in the morning, we would have missed it. Committee member Wu and Mr. Hu also ordered us to cooperate with your team before they left. what about work!"

"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, thank you so much." Su Zhongkang could only reach out to pick up the gift box when he heard that, and then put it on the small coffee table next to the tea table, and then said: "Don't stand still!" Come on, let's have tea together."

After Su Zhongkang finished speaking, he took out the tea set under the tea table and started to drink tea.Seeing this, the two of Cao Lei hurriedly surrounded them.Since the “Southern” region of Fujian was defeated in the top ten tea capitals, the development of tea ceremony has stagnated in recent years, so some star-rated tea masters have moved to other places, so that the only star-rated tea masters staying here are Very few.

Normally, it is not easy to drink a cup of tea soup brewed by a star tea art master.Even someone with a status like Cao Lei can only have a drink once in a while.

Now, Su Zhongkang intends to brew a pot for them himself, and they will definitely not be polite.What's more, they still have some matters to consult with Su Zhongkang.

"We definitely have to drink the tea you made." Deng Yin smiled and patted Su Zhongkang on the shoulder.

"It is said that you brought back several good teas a while ago. We have to give it a try." Cao Lei felt a big stomach, and quickly found a place to prepare.

"Hey, those tea leaves were sold to my brother." Su Zhongkang looked up at Cao Lei, and replied embarrassedly.He said badly in his heart, how come everyone knows about these things, fortunately he didn't sell the better tea he made to Subian before, otherwise they would all know about it.In this technologically-advanced world, you really can't just come here casually, and if you are not careful, you will be turned upside down.

"Haha, it's sold! Then we're out of luck." Cao Lei laughed at himself in embarrassment.

"My tea is not bad, you can drink it later." Su Zhongkang took out a tin of tea boxes after cleaning the tea set.As soon as the lid is lifted, the tea smells tangy and fills the room.

"Zhengshan Xiaozhong?" Cao Lei took a few breaths and blurted out.

"Chairman Cao's nose is amazing!" Su Zhongkang said with a smile. He picked some tea leaves with a teaspoon and put them into a tureen. When he was about to put the tea box away, Cao Lei took it directly.

"Our president's favorite drink is Lapsang Souchong tea." Deng Yin looked at Cao Lei who was nervously observing the tea leaves, and said to Su Zhongkang.

"Oh, I've never heard of this." Su Zhongkang also glanced at Cao Lei next to him.

Holding the tea box, Cao Lei lowered his head and poked forward. He frowned after smelling the tea, then placed the tea box on the tea table, picked some tea leaves with a tea spoon, placed them in his palm, and carefully Identifying.

"The quality of today's Lapsang Souchong tea is really mediocre, let alone Keemun black tea, even Sri Lanka or India." Deng Yin sighed.This Lapsang Souchong tea is the originator of black tea, but its current status is very embarrassing.When people mention black tea, the first thing that comes to mind is the three most fragrant black teas in the world, Keemun black tea from Huangshan Mountain in China, Darjeeling black tea from India and Uva black tea from Sri Lanka.As for Lapsang Souchong black tea, few people know about it.

Su Zhongkang also empathized with Deng Yin's emotion.This is also one of the main reasons why Su Zhongkang wanted to take Lapsang Souchong black tea to participate in the Huaxia District Tea King selection competition. He wanted to justify the name of Lapsang Souchong black tea and wanted to make it famous both at home and abroad.

"The quality of this tea is the best among the Lapsang Souchong teas I have ever seen." Cao Lei tasted it for a long time, and interrupted their conversation mercilessly.

Deng Yin turned his head to look at Cao Lei, and then turned back to look at Su Zhongkang.

At this time, Su Zhongkang smiled lightly. He picked up the clay pot with one hand and poured it down from a high place into a tureen, and then covered it with a tea lid with the other hand.He turned the tea cover with his hands, and with two or three strokes, the floating tea foam disappeared. His movements were clean and neat, without muddling.

Afterwards, Su Zhongkang pointed to the three white porcelain teacups and said, "Drink tea."

Cao Lei didn't immediately reach out to pick it up, but squinted his eyes to look at the teacups on the tea tray.In the teacup, the soup is bright red, and there is an obvious "gold circle" on the rim of the cup, especially the white porcelain tea set that Su Zhongkang chose this time, which makes the tea soup appear transparent and bright, making people salivate when they see it.

On the other hand, Deng Yin was not as cautious as Cao Lei.As soon as Su Zhongkang said that he could enjoy it, he immediately picked a teacup from it and tasted it happily.

"This black tea is delicious." Deng Yin took a sip of the tea soup and praised it.

Cao Lei looked at the teacups and nodded, then he also reached out to pick up one of the cups, took it to his nose, shook it carefully a few times, then fanned the tea fragrance into his nose with the other hand, aftertaste After a few times, I just drank it in small sips.

"Good tea, good tea." After taking the first sip of tea soup, Cao Lei sincerely praised him.He watched it very carefully just now, whether it is the color of the tea, the strands of the tea, especially the aroma of the tea, it is the best choice.

Deng Yincai was not as fastidious as Cao Lei, and he finished the tea soup as early as when he was still smelling the tea.After hearing Cao Lei's praise, Deng Yin was a little surprised. He said: "Our president has a particularly paranoid love for black tea, so he always evaluates the quality of black tea very strictly. In these years, from his mouth , I rarely heard him praise anyone whose black tea is delicious."

Su Zhongkang took the last teacup and tasted it attentively.There is a mellow aroma of fresh pine smoke at the entrance of the tea soup, and the taste is very smooth. After swallowing, there is also a sweet aftertaste of dry longan aroma, which lasts for a long time.

The Lapsang Souchong tea brewed this time is his most satisfying work in this period of time.Compared with the tea he roasted before, its quality has been greatly improved, at least above the fine-quality level.

If it wasn't for the two of Cao Lei coming here, he wouldn't be willing to take it out to entertain guests.However, he was very happy to be praised by them.
