Chapter 484 Where can I buy such delicious black tea? (Second update)
Although it was so early, the place was already crowded with vendors taking a break for tea. The important thing was that Ali saw several familiar maritime merchants.
At the moment, he was drinking something with great excitement, chattering excitedly.
Even the people from the Song Dynasty who were drinking tea in the tea shop looked very surprised. They were pointing at various teacups and muttering quietly.
That really aroused Ali's curiosity, so he gave up waiting for an opportunity to intervene and headed that way instead.
Then when I came closer, I smelled the alluring aroma of lycophylla that I had never smelled before. It was somewhat similar to the aroma of tea, a favorite drink of the Song Dynasty people.
Ali couldn't help but become more and more puzzled. He wanted to know that the tea tea of the Song Dynasty was very famous in the Song Dynasty and its surrounding countries.
Maybe it’s his fault, coming from Maloma, that he’s really not used to the bitter and astringent taste.
He said, those big food vendors are not very used to it, but now, look at their relaxed expressions when they drink that kind of tea soup.
Ali couldn't help but smell the smell carefully again. When he smelled it carefully, it seemed that it didn't smell like tea, but instead had a fruity smell.
At that time, he noticed a table of merchants from Dashi in front of him, where he was pouring milky red liquid into his cup.
As a maritime merchant from Maloma who also often drank dairy products, Ali recognized at a glance that it was either cow's milk or goat's milk.
I couldn't help but get curious, so I walked over and said hello to those people and asked.
"May I ask some of you, are we doing anything?"
One of the elderly food merchants glanced at Ali, cheerfully picked up his cup of tea with milk, took a sip of it happily, smacked his mouth and then said.
"There is a new type of tea made in the Song Dynasty. Not only can it be drunk alone, but after adding milk, the flavor will be even more unique."
"The newly made tea can be added with milk?"
Hearing this, Ali finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked towards the counter of the tea shop where he was making a ball.
Just when Ali came to the counter and wanted to ask for tea, a waiter responsible for ushering people to their seats couldn't help but look around with a embarrassed face.
At this moment, the entire tea shop had no space left, and we were in a dilemma.
Ali heard a clear and childish voice.
"Staff, since Wei Qinke is alone, if he doesn't mind sharing a table, let him come over there."
Ali and the boy turned their heads and looked over there, and saw a handsome young man in rich robes and robes.
She was walking in front of a square table, and walking beside her was a great beauty from the Song Dynasty with picturesque features and charming features. Even though she looked stunning, even people like Ali found her stunning.
But the slender woman wore a long sword at her waist, and the undisguised heroic spirit between her eyebrows seemed to repel others thousands of miles away.
Behind the two walking people, there were many tall and tall men standing with swords in their hands, which showed that the handsome young man was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Then..." Ali stood there and didn't know whether he should go east or not.
At this time, Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng had gone to the expo to wander around, leaving Gao Zhang alone to stay there.
Gao Zhang nodded at the mostly empty square table and said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, can I just walk away? I live in the east and my surname is Gao. I wonder where that Tibetan merchant comes from?"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Gao. You can just call him Ali. He is from the country of Maloma. The country of Maloma is thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty. It takes more than a month to get there by boat."
As soon as he shut up, the waiter brought over the black tea Ali ordered. In addition to a pot of black tea, there was also a cup of milk.
Looking at the cup of milk, Gao Zhang felt quite sad and wanted to know if he had really spent all his energy on that expo.
It takes a lot of energy just to find the source of cow and goat milk for entertaining guests.
Fortunately, those Tibetan merchants from the Middle East continued their own eating habits when they came to the Song Dynasty, and even specially brought cattle and sheep from there to cross the ocean to come to the Song Dynasty.
And Gao Zhang had people spend a lot of money from those merchants, so he bought some cows and sheep with high milk production.
Rumor has it that those cattle and sheep are supplying dairy products for the Hangzhou Expo.
After going to that exposition, Gao Zhang would definitely not kill them directly for meat.
Instead, prepare to find a place to raise them in captivity and breed them first to expand the group.
After all, there are many special delicacies, and most of them are related to dairy products, whether they are sweets like toffee that everyone loves.
A variety of cakes, biscuits and delicacies, as well as ice cream and popsicles to quench your thirst in the hot summer months, will no longer be a dream and luxury.
At this moment, Ali had forgotten about the noble young man from the Song Dynasty who was choking.
Everyone was already immersed in the tea in front of them. The black tea without milk and the golden color of the tea soup looked so tempting.
The smooth and sweet taste and the warm feeling after swallowing it seem to drive away the ever-present dampness and coldness.
After mixing it with milk, not only does it not make me feel strange, but it actually makes you feel like one plus one is greater than two. The silkiness of the milk and the refreshingness of the tea are harmoniously intertwined.

"Ali, he said Ali?" Gao Zhang called out several times, only to find that the barbarian Hu merchant in front of him was drinking tea and shaking his head in excitement.
Even though there was some noise around me, I was a little too intoxicated.
Just when Gao Zhang was about to raise his voice and shout, Ali raised his head and waved to the store clerk.
"Where can I buy black tea?"
The shop assistant came forward and smiled at Hu Shang, who was looking very energetic after a few cups of hot tea.
"If you, sir, want to buy tea, you have to go over there..."
Ali turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by the shop assistant's thigh. Wasn't that the specialty booth that he had been unable to squeeze into?
"I also want to buy that kind of black tea?" Gao Zhang looked at whether the person looked like a European. He had a high nose and deep eyes. His eyes were light blue, but his skin color was darker than that of red people.
Ali saw the young man in front of him asking, and Dong nodded consciously.
Copying his proficient Jiangnan Mandarin.
"That kind of tea not only tastes sweet and smooth, but also suits his taste very well.
So I want to buy some. Even if I can’t sell them after returning to my country, I can drink them myself.”
"In that case, I'll wait a moment."
Gao Zhang turned to call Fu An and gave him a few instructions. Fu An quickly walked away with understanding.
