I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

Chapter 226: A Hearty Tea Tasting Class

"Is that what you brought?" Old Fu looked at Uncle Li's schoolbag expectantly.

"Yes, that's the one I brought. We both like it." Uncle Li nodded affirmatively.

"What is it? What are you two talking about?" Uncle Zhao was confused. How come he didn't know what they were talking about?

"It's the hot one with double pearls and 70% sugar." Old Fu stood up excitedly: "Take it out now!"

Uncle Li took out a cup of brown sugar pearl milk tea with double pearls under Lao Fu's urgent urging, raised the milk tea above his head, and introduced it confidently.

"This is milk tea. It's not just any milk tea. It's a milk tea with a black tea base and fresh milk. One sip is fragrant, two sips are sweet, and three sips make you feel like you're floating in the air."

"A cup of milk tea, three kinds of happiness, you deserve brown sugar pearl milk tea."

"People with high blood sugar levels should not drink it, and people with bad teeth can skip the pearls."

Uncle Li passionately recommends milk tea and even thought of the advertising slogan.

Old Fu slammed the table excitedly and shouted, "Give me a drink."

He held up his expensive tea set, the rim of the cup was as big as a fist.

The two of them sang in unison, which made Teacher Zhuang stunned. After thinking for a long time, he commented: "This student is right. Tea can be processed in a variety of ways. I didn't expect that milk tea, as a new type of beverage, is also very popular among our students."

"Teacher, Mr. Li and his friend can also place orders on their mobile phones," added Uncle Zhou.

Uncle Li had treated them to drinks before, but Uncle Zhou prefers fruit tea with coconut flakes, which is his favorite sour and sweet taste.

Uncle Zhou finds it magical. He places an order on his mobile phone before school is over and picks up the milk tea near the school when he goes out. He just needs to tell the clerk a number. It is very convenient.

Uncles and aunts were clinking glasses and tasting milk tea, each of them looking very satisfied after finishing the drink.

After tasting white tea, green tea, iced black tea and milk tea, Teacher Zhuang officially began his lecture.

“Conventional tea brewing consists of two steps: adding tea leaves and pouring hot water.”

"But when taking the tea art skills test, there are more steps to brewing tea, so I will demonstrate it completely first."

"Students who are interested can follow the teacher to try it out. We will explain the specific details in class later."

Teacher Zhuang put the tea set away, warmed it with boiling water on the table, and spoke slowly:

"The tea prepared on everyone's table is Da Hong Pao, which is classified as oolong tea in the tea classification."

"Oolong tea is warm in nature and suitable for a wide range of people. It has a mellow taste and suits the tastes of most people."

As he spoke, he put the tea leaves that had been sorted in advance into the tea bowl.

The uncles and aunts below picked up the tea sets and were eager to try.

"Warming the cup and adding tea are our first two steps. I don't need to go into too much detail here. Please note that the water temperature is very high and you should not burn your hands."

As soon as Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, Mr. Zhang wailed, "Ouch, it's hot, hot, hot."

Uncle Li quickly grabbed Mr. Fu's still slightly icy iced black tea and put it into Uncle Zhang's hand to cool it down.

"It feels good." Uncle Zhang took the opportunity to wink at Old Fu. After getting a positive answer, he poured himself a small cup of iced black tea.

Teacher Zhuang paused and continued, "When adding tea, pay attention to the amount. A small pinch like mine is enough for one bowl."

Teacher Zhuang didn't even say how many grams it was, but just showed everyone the amount in the bowl.

"There are two ways to pour tea: top-up and bottom-up. Let me demonstrate it briefly."

The teacher was talking at the front while Mr. Fu and a few others were discussing quietly below.

"What do you think of the tea-making method if I put the tea leaves directly into my mouth and then pour water into it?" Old Fu tried to be creative.

"It's probably the method of taking medicine. This is how I drink the powder." Uncle Li gave him advice very seriously.

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li pointed at each other's bowls, comparing the amount of tea used.

Uncle Li: "My portion is too little, and it tastes like water."

Uncle Zhang: "I put too much in it. Do you think it looks like pork with preserved vegetables?"

The tea leaves added to hot water came out of Uncle Zhang's cup, and the cup was full of tea, like the vegetables in the braised pork with preserved vegetables dish.

"What's the next step?" asked Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Li gave him a thumbs up and said, "The next step is to pour hot water. We are already ahead."

After brewing the tea, it’s time to wake up the teacup.

“To wake up the tea, you need to pour out the first brewed tea and let the tea leaves sit and expand.” Teacher Zhuang’s movements are very ornamental.

When it comes to the hands of uncles and aunts, the scene becomes funny.

"Why do you have to pour it out? Where did you pour it? Can I drink it now?"

"It's drinkable, but it's quite hot."

"It's not hot, not hot." Uncle Li said as he poured the tea out with shaking hands.

"Are you trying to comfort yourself by saying it's not hot?" Old Fu laughed while holding his stomach.

"There is also a step called scraping the foam. Use the tea lid to skim off the floating foam. Be careful not to burn your hands." Teacher Zhuang came down to see the students' progress and gave instructions.

When I walked to Aunt Shen's side, I heard Aunt Shen say, "What a refreshing wash of hands with hot water."

Uncle Mu next to her agreed: "The first few steps are hot, and the last few steps are hot."

There are also outstanding students. Uncle Duanmu suffered a lot in Subject 1, but he is an expert in making tea. He sits firmly in the last row. The wind outside the window blows up his Taoist robe and his hair tied with a wooden hairpin, revealing a mysterious feeling of an immortal.

The tea in his hands was like a flowing stream, making a pleasant sound when it collided with the cup.

Teacher Zhuang was more and more satisfied as he looked at it, and nodded appreciatively, "Student, are you interested in being the class representative for our tea tasting class?"

Uncle Duanmu readily agreed, and the two hit it off immediately. Uncle Duanmu held Teacher Zhuang's hand on the spot and wanted to read his palm.

Finally, Lao Fu, the tea artist who had been busy with a class, poured himself the last glass of iced black tea.

……

In the flower arrangement class, Uncle Wang’s challenge has just begun.

As a "plant idiot" and "plant killer", Grandpa Wang has a history of mistaking daffodils for garlic sprouts, tulips for onions, and roadside flowers for weeds. In Grandpa Wang's eyes, these flowers all look the same.

The ones that bloom are called flowers, and the ones that don’t bloom are called grass.

The red one is called red flower and the yellow one is called yellow flower.

Aunt Xu did not attend her cousin's class. She firmly chose the flower arrangement class and sat with Aunt Zhong and the others.

Uncle Wang was next to Aunt Xu. Aunt Xu took a lily and asked again: "Tell me again, what kind of flower is this?"

"Little white flower?" Uncle Wang hesitated.

"No, think again."

"Big white flower?" Uncle Wang affirmed.

"No, it's lilies!"

Aunt Zhong seemed to have discovered something magical. "What about this?"

Aunt Zhong bought another bunch of baby’s breath and asked him.

Uncle Wang answered firmly: "I know, this is definitely right, it's called leek flower."
