Chapter 225 Flower Arrangement and Tea Tasting
When Lin Qinglan was choosing courses, she had considered flower arrangement and tea tasting long ago.
Coincidentally, all the teachers were introduced by acquaintances.
Flower arrangement teacher Ms. Tang is the group leader of the flower lovers’ group of Mr. Wang’s son Xiao Wang. She owns her own training school and has 5 chain flower shops in the city. She has been in this business for more than ten years.
Mr. Zhuang, who teaches the tea tasting class, is Aunt Xu’s cousin. One of the siblings loves silk scarves, and the other is addicted to tea.
Xiao De teased her: "Host, the school is getting better and better, and you have established your own network of contacts."
Two courses were offered at the same time, and the students were so eager to get the courses that their hands were smoking.
This semester, there are more people online in the course-grabbing system. Teacher Li from the mobile phone class and Teacher Ye from the e-sports class have maintained the system again, but it still collapsed due to the "enthusiasm" of the students to grab classes.
They were so eager to get the course that they even found someone to help them get the course.
……
The first day of classes is even more lively.
Uncle Wang hurried into the classroom as the bell rang, and when he looked up he found that he had entered the wrong class.
He signed up for tea tasting and went into the flower arrangement class.
Teacher Tang, who was an acquaintance of his son Xiao Wang, recognized Uncle Wang and said, "Uncle Wang, what a coincidence. Your son told me to take a good look at you if I see you at school."
"What do I have to see? Let's go to class first." Uncle Wang was embarrassed and panicked. After looking around but couldn't find a seat, he could only sit in the first row with Aunt Zhong and her classmates.
Uncle Wang is absorbed in flower arrangement but his mind is on tea tasting. He is also thinking about returning to the tea tasting class.
His good brothers from the physics class, his "troublemaking brother" Uncle Li, and his "fellow sufferer" Uncle Zhao from the planting class are all in the tea tasting class.
"I went to the wrong classroom. Where is the tea tasting class? Isn't it said to be on the second floor? Why can't I find it?" Uncle Wang asked Aunt Zhong quietly.
Aunt Zhong was immersed in admiring the flowers on the table. She was startled when she heard this: "Both new classes are on the second floor, one on the east side and one on the west side. The classroom you are looking for is on the other side."
"Ah, I have to go through the corridor to get through." Uncle Wang wailed. On the way there, he had to pass by the teacher's office.
Uncle Wang had just "burned" the lettuce seedlings that he had just planted this semester with fertilizer in a planting class, and he failed his final exam.
The blackboard was knocked down in the physics class. Although he put it back in time, it was put back in a hurry and it was a little crooked.
He hasn't figured out how to face the teachers yet.
As Uncle Wang struggled, Teacher Tang closed the door and made the choice for him.
"Classmates, let's start the class."
Uncle Wang was surrounded by a bunch of flowers and plants and took a flower arrangement class with the aunts.
……
In the tea tasting class next door that he had been longing for, the teacher was checking homework.
Homework was assigned before the class even started. This was the first time for the uncles and aunts to encounter this after so many days of school.
The day before class, Teacher Zhuang assigned an assignment to the uncles and aunts, which was to make a cup of tea that you think is the best and bring it to class to share.
The uncles and aunts had thermos cups, some had canning bottles, and some had hot water bottles.
Old Fu’s was the biggest.
He brought a very new set of tea sets, the box was wrapped in silk on the outside and there was an appraisal certificate inside.
Uncle Li and Uncle Zhao tacitly understood each other, one looking at the name and the other counting the price.
“Ru kiln underglaze red.”
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand?"
Uncle Zhao quickly withdrew his hand, knowing that Mr. Fu was rich and dared to bring such expensive things to school.
Old Fu really just took it randomly from home. He is not a picky person and he doesn't understand tea, otherwise he wouldn't have been tricked into buying a bunch of inferior tea.
He prefers wine to tea.
Fu Lanshan knows more about tea than this old man, and this set of tea set was given by Fu Lanshan to support his learning.
There were exclamations from all around, one after another, and some knowledgeable uncles gathered together to discuss the quality of the tea sets.
Others were more curious about what kind of tea Mr. Fu would use with such expensive tea sets?
Old Fu wanted to keep everyone in suspense: "You go first, I'll be the last to appear so it's more impressive."
It happened that Teacher Zhuang came back from getting teaching aids and asked the students to sit down.
"I brought my favorite tea today mainly to let you know about the types of tea, regardless of quality and price."
"Tea drinking is about mood, so everyone should relax and watch it together."
After he finished speaking, Uncle Zhao raised his hand first: "Teacher, I'll go first!"
Uncle Zhao came on stage holding his transparent tea cup.
"This cup of tea I brewed is Maojian, which is a type of green tea."
"From what I understand, green tea is the only type of tea that is not fermented, so its color is closer to that of fresh tea leaves, which is very green."
"The brewed tea is also green in color and quite translucent."
"It tastes quite refreshing, who wants to try it?"
Several uncles in the front row have already raised the smallest disposable cups prepared on the table.
Uncle Zhao went around and poured tea for everyone. Teacher Zhuang commented: "Uncle Zhao's explanation was very comprehensive. It seems that he has a certain understanding of tea."
"We will talk about the specific classification of tea later."
After Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, Mr. Zhou from the physics class raised his hand and said, "Teacher, let me do it! I happen to have white tea."
"White tea is a tea that has been fermented a little bit, and it has a white color just like its name."
"The brewed color is slightly yellower than green tea, but it's still green overall."
The uncles and aunts in the front row raised their cups and lined up to taste the white tea, just like they were tasting food in a supermarket.
Teacher Zhuang exclaimed: "I didn't expect that several people in our class knew so much about tea."
He just wanted the uncles and aunts to show it, but he didn't expect that there would be not only a show but also an introduction.
After Uncle Zhou, the trend became a little strange.
Some introduce scented tea, some introduce tea brewed with Chinese medicine, and some introduce tea brewed with corn silk.
After the introduction, the uncles and aunts tried many different flavors of tea.
Teacher Zhuang began to "take orders": "Which student do you want to see?"
"Old Fu, Old Fu!" Uncle Li and the others joined in the fun.
"Keep a low profile." Old Fu stood up slowly and adjusted his collar. "Let me introduce my favorite to everyone."
Old Fu took out something with strange packaging from his schoolbag and introduced it: "This tea is quite special. It has certain temperature requirements."
“I wrap it in a cloth so it maintains the optimal temperature.”
He slowly unwrapped the outer cloth layer by layer, gaining enough anticipation.
"Hurry up and stop keeping us in suspense." Uncle Li urged him impatiently.
"Don't be anxious, the excitement needs to wait." Lao Fu is like an advertiser who adds commercials during prime time on TV, insisting on keeping people on edge.
Finally, the cloth was untied.
Covered underneath is what everyone has been waiting for - iced black tea.
"What? You really brought a bottle of iced black tea?" Uncle Zhao asked again in disbelief.
“This is no ordinary iced tea.”
Old Fu explained seriously, "This is iced black tea that has been refrigerated."
“I call it truly the best drink in the world.”
"Hey, I knew you wouldn't bring anything serious."
Uncle Li looked as if he had expected it, and asked Lao Fu in a low and mysterious voice, "Guess what I brought?"
