After being stunned for a moment, Qian Ruoyun suddenly laughed.
Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Qian Ruoyun to change his face so quickly. As soon as he heard that his alchemy skills were not good, he changed his face and started laughing so mercilessly.
But I heard Qian Ruoyun continue to say: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you are pitiful, Mr. Zhang, but that the little alchemists who participated in the preliminary competition with you are too pitiful. You don't even have to think about competing on the same stage with Mr. Zhang."
Think about it, you will definitely lose badly, and those with a bad mentality may leave a psychological shadow. Master Zhang, you have to be merciful."
He is not a fool. Just from the tone of Zhang Xiaozu's words, it can be seen that Zhang Xiaozu did not take the preliminary contest seriously at all. He thought that Zhang Xiaozu participated in the preliminary contest just for fun or to experience the atmosphere of the competition, so he
The expectations for Zhang Xiaozu's magic skills have not been lowered just because Zhang Xiaozu participated in the preliminary competition.
To take a step back, even if Zhang Xiaopou's alchemy skills were really rubbish, he wouldn't dare to openly laugh at them like that.
Although his Qian family is one of the wealthy merchants in Paradise City, Qian Ruoyun is just a bastard who is not valued by his family. He has no power and power, and his cultivation level is mediocre. What right does he have to laugh at a strong man in the Holy Realm?
Furthermore, for a guy who wants to buy a pound of Fengjian'er and a pound of Blue Blood and Blue, one can imagine how wealthy he is. He is also not something he, a poor man who can only rely on monthly payments, has the right to laugh at.
Although he was so generous, he invited Zhang Xiaozu and the four of them to Yueyang Louhai for a meal. He seemed to be a man who was not short of money. In fact, this meal cost more than half of his savings.
Although he often frequents high-consumption places such as Jinshiyuan Inn and Yueyang Tower, his real consumption is not high. He often only orders a cup of tea, occasionally two side dishes and a pot of wine, and never dares to eat big fish and meat.
drink.
Even if I want to, my wallet won't agree.
He frequents these places to find a way out for himself, to see if he can be lucky and be appreciated by noble people.
A concubine like him who was born into a famous family would have no shortage of glory and wealth, but if he wanted to achieve something, it would be basically as difficult as climbing to heaven, because the concubines would not allow it and would try their best to suppress them to prevent them from seizing power after their wings are hardened.
.
Unless one has excellent cultivation qualifications, it is possible to become a key cultivation target of the family.
However, Qian Ruoyun's cultivation aptitude was average, but he was unwilling to be lonely and live an ordinary life, so he could only find a way to find a way out on his own.
Zhang Xiaozu smiled and waved his hands, saying: "I just ask that I don't get eliminated in the first round. Otherwise, my ancestors will lose all their face."
Qian Ruoyun walked back to his seat, picked up the wine flask and filled it with wine for Zhang Xiaozu and the other four, then raised his glasses and said, "Come, let's raise our glasses together and wish Mr. Zhang a great victory in the preliminary contest."
The few of them chatted and drank for a while, and when they felt that they had had enough fun, they asked the waiter to clear the table.
Qian Ruoyun took out tea leaves and tea sets.
The tea was packed in two small jade boxes, with only a thin layer spread on the bottom of the box.
The tea set exudes a faint aroma of tea before the tea is brewed. It is not the aroma of spices, but the aroma of tea that has been soaked in tea for a long time.
Such a tea set is expensive.
"I only have so much tea leaves to make everyone laugh."
Qian Ruoyun said awkwardly.
Zhang Xiaozhu and the other four were also a little embarrassed. If they had known that Qian Ruoyun only had this little bit, they would have been embarrassed to let Qian Ruoyun use it for dipping.
Zhang Xiaozu said: "We have just eaten, and we can't hold tea in our stomachs for the time being. Why don't we stop brewing it today and wait for another day."
"No, no, no, no." Qian Ruoyun repeatedly refused, "Since I took it out, it means that I am willing to give it to everyone to drink. If you ask me to take it back, it will be a slap in Qian's face. You must drink it today.
, it’s all soaked.”
Zhang Xiaozhu saw that Qian Ruoyun was suddenly a little excited, so he stopped refusing.
"This is Fengjian'er." Qian Ruoyun pointed to a jade box and introduced, "It is said that tea trees grow on the crater of a foreign land. The whole tea tree is fiery red, and it looks like a sea of fire from a distance.
Haha, I am ashamed to say that although I am a disciple of the Qian family, I have never had the opportunity to enter the tea garden, so my understanding of the tea tree is limited."
The tea leaves are slender, slightly curled, and dark red in color.
There is no tea aroma, and there is a slight burnt smell, which makes people wonder if the fire was too high when frying the tea and it was burnt.
"Fengjian'er needs to be brewed with water from cold pools in the snowy mountains, so that the cold air stimulates the heat contained in the veins of its leaves, and the heat bursts out to release all the fragrance of the tea."
Qian Ruoyun took out a jade box that was filled with cold air from the void space. The jade box contained cold pool water.
He first washed the teapot with pool water, soaked it completely to cool down, then poured out the water in the pot, and poured the Fengjian catechu leaves into the empty pot.
The tea leaves dropped to the bottom of the pot and made a hissing sound, like the sound of red-hot iron sinking into water. Qian Ruoyun quickly poured the Hantan water into the teapot.
Tsk!
Gululu!
The cold water boiled as soon as it was poured into the teapot.
As the heat dissipated, a strong aroma of tea filled the air.
This was the first time for Zhang Xiaozhu and the others to see this method of making tea, and they couldn't help but marvel. The strong aroma of tea that reached their noses made them salivate and wanted to take a sip immediately.
Qian Ruoyun picked up the still simmering teapot and brewed a cup each.
The tea fell into the cup and was still boiling.
"This tea should be drunk while it is hot. It is like drinking strong wine. It will be suffocated after one sip."
"Don't worry, although it's boiling, it's not hot."
As he spoke, Qian Ruoyun picked up the white jade tea cup, raised his head as if drinking wine, took a sip, and then let out a comfortable moan from his mouth.
Zhang Xiaozhu and the four others were even more surprised when they saw this. They quickly picked up a glass and drank it down in one gulp like Qian Ruoyun.
The tea was like a flame in the entrance, exploding in the mouth with a bang, and then rushed into the throat like a wave of fire, burning along the esophagus and into the abdominal cavity.
However, he did not feel any burning pain. Instead, a heat spread in his abdominal cavity, flowing along the meridians to his limbs and bones, making his whole body warm and indescribably comfortable.
At the same time, the strong aroma of tea fills the entire mouth, and it feels like the breath you exhale is fragrant.
In addition, what surprised Zhang Xiaozu and the others was that the tea did contain some laws of power, but it did not have much effect on them. If it was given to cultivators in the Star Realm, it would be helpful.
"Have another drink, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Qian Ruoyun took advantage of the heat and filled another cup for the four of them.
“Really good tea.”
Zhang Xiaozu praised.
"Would this tea be more refreshing if brewed with wine?"
Zhou Jianlai's eyes flickered and he thought he had come up with a good idea.
Qian Ruoyun shook his head and said: "Wine is like a raging fire. It cannot stimulate the heat in the tea leaves, but will burn the tea leaves."
"That's it." Zhou Jianlai took out a large bowl, poured half a bowl of strong wine, then poured boiling tea into it, then picked up the large bowl and drank it all.
"Cough...cough cough..."
Zhou Jianlai was choked and coughed violently.
What frightened Zhang Xiaozu and the others was that he was spitting fire from his mouth while coughing.
