Chapter 99 What did Master Ma do when he was young?
Uncle Xu came out of the back room and saw Zhang Yu at first glance. He felt that this young man looked familiar.
"Young man, are you the friend Xiaobai mentioned?"
"Yes, the leader, I am Xiaobai's friend."
Zhang Yu didn't know how to address Uncle Xu for a while, so he could only call him "leader."
After all, as soon as Xu Chi showed up, Zhang Yu knew that he was right, he was the big leader in the play.
This leadership is rightly called.
"Hey! Young man, you are being too outspoken. You should just call me Uncle Xu like a novice."
"However, I think you look familiar!"
Uncle Xu thought for a while, but still couldn't remember where he had seen Zhang Yu.
"Haha, Uncle Xu, you are a noble man who forgets things. My profession is a welder in a steel rolling mill. During the assessment at the end of last year, you were still there."
When Zhang Yu mentioned this, Xu Chi immediately remembered it.
"Ah! Yes, yes, I remember you, Zhang Yu, right?"
Zhang Yu was really surprised. He didn't expect Uncle Xu to remember it right away. He didn't expect that a small person like himself could be remembered by such a big leader.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to still remember me!"
Can’t remember?
That is an insult to Uncle Xu's memory. Zhang Yu performed too well that day, and the young man has a good skin. It will never be forgotten.
"Remember, can you not remember? You are so outstanding, and you were promoted to two levels in a row that day. This is the first time I've been here, and it's hard for people to forget."
"I didn't expect that we are really destined. Xiaobai's friend is actually you. Not bad."
"Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk, Xiaobai, Mengyi, you all sit down."
Uncle Xu did not forget to ask his wife to make a pot of tea for everyone.
Mengyi quickly grabbed Mrs. Xu.
"Aunt Xu, stop working and let Zhang Yu do it. Zhang Yu is good at making tea, so let him do it."
"No, no, how can this be possible? It's the first time Zhang Yu has come to Aunt Xu's house. He is a guest of the Xu family. How can he let the guests make tea by themselves?"
Aunt Xu quickly waved her hands to express her disagreement.
Zhou Xiaobai, a clever little ghost on the side, received the signal from Mengyi and quickly got up to help Zhang Yu get the teapot, tea leaves and cups.
I went to the kitchen again and picked up a thermos.
Aunt Xu pointed at this girl Zhou Xiaobai.
"Hey, you novice, Zhang Yu is a guest, how can you let Zhang Yu make tea?"
"Madam, okay, since you are Xiaobai's friend, you are our junior. It is natural for the junior to make tea for your elders. Don't worry so much about your children."
Uncle Xu quickly helped to smooth things over.
Mrs. Xu looked at her husband and did not refuse. Then she stopped talking about the toner cartridge and sat down next to her husband.
However, I still complained a few words.
Zhang Yu didn't hold anything back. He opened the paper bag containing the tea leaves and smelled it. He found that it was Pu'er tea from Yunnan, which was some years old.
I remembered that Zhou Xiaobai mentioned that Uncle Xu had stayed in Sichuan, and it was normal to have Pu'er tea from Yunnan.
Zhang Yu estimates that these tea leaves should be tea leaves from Iceland Village, Mengku Town, Yunnan Province. This place has been making tea for generations and is considered a source of Pu'er tea.
In the old village of Iceland, there is a 600-year-old Pu'er tree. The most precious thing is the first spring material. The entire Icelandic village only produces tens of kilograms a year, which is very rare.
So I don’t dare to let the apprentices stir-fry, only the senior masters do it themselves.
Zhang Yu did not ask Uncle Xu where the tea came from. After all, for such a big leader, it is normal for someone to give gifts.
It can be seen that Xu Chi is a tea lover.
According to this kind of tea, Zhang Yu uses the brewing method that is most suitable for this kind of tea.
Uncle Xu, who was dubious, couldn't take his eyes away and stared at Zhang Yu's technique.
This is the first time Uncle Xu has seen someone using such a correct operating procedure since he returned to BJ.
When Zhang Yu handed the teacup to Uncle Xu.
"Uncle Xu, please have some tea."
Uncle Xu did not praise easily. After all, the right technique does not mean the taste is right.
I picked up the tea cup and took a sip. As the saying goes, "it's sweet when you enter it, and it's sweet when you wake up".
The tea has almost no bitterness, is good for promoting fluid production, and has no other strange smell.
After taking a sip of tea, I feel a slight sweat on my back. This is an experience full of surprises!
Uncle Xu was really surprised. This was more authentic than what he drank in Sichuan.
"Zhang Yu, that's good. I didn't expect you to do research on tea!"
“Not bad, not bad, very delicious, fully embodies the characteristics of Pu’er tea.”
"Come on, madam, Mengyi, Xiaobai, you all should try it too."
The three of them picked up the tea cups and took a sip. As Uncle Xu said, it tasted great.
Zhang Yu also picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It is true that better tea tastes better.
I directly added 100 experience points to Zhang Yu's experience bar, which was still 20 experience points short of being promoted to level four.
"Uncle Xu, I also have a hobby, right? My master likes to drink tea very much. I help him make tea every day."
"You can develop this skill just by going back and forth."
"As for your high praise, I don't deserve it!"
Uncle Xu pointed at Zhang Yu angrily and put the tea cup forward, indicating that Zhang Yu would pour water for him.
If just now, Uncle Xu was still doubting Zhang Yu's cooking skills, now he somewhat believes it.
"You little brat, what kind of tea does your master drink? Isn't it big leaf tea?"
"I really thought I didn't know your master. Lao Ma and I have known each other for many years. How can I know about his hobbies?"
"Just hide your clumsiness, I'm not telling you, you are a young man and don't be afraid to show off. As long as you are talented, you will be popular wherever you go."
Zhang Yu was a little surprised when he heard that his master actually recognized Uncle Xu.
I have some doubts about what my master did when he was young and how he could have so many friends.
Could it be that you participated in any sports back then?
"Uncle Xu, do you recognize my master?"
"I recognize it. Not only me, but your aunt also recognizes it. We have been old friends for many years."
Aunt Xu nodded, indicating that her husband said you were right.
"Can you tell me, Uncle Xu, how you and my master met?"
How did we know each other? It has been a few years. When Uncle Xu heard this, he knew that Lao Ma had not mentioned the events of that year to his precious apprentice.
"How did we meet? It was just a coincidence. Your master was not a peaceful master back then."
"He has participated in some sports. He said that he represents the working class."
"Later, when we came to Peiping, we often went to that small restaurant. We met Lao Yuan, Mengyi's father, at that time."
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, are you Mengyi dating?"
For Uncle Xu to find out, it can only be said that Mengyi did not do it covertly, her eyes never left Zhang Yu.
This made Uncle Xu guess the relationship between the two at once.
