Not only did Adrian have a strange expression on his face, but the expressions of the four people standing on the canopy of Rivendell were also very strange. Vicky made great determination and swallowed the milk tea in her mouth.
Enze kept his expression silent, but after swallowing, he put the tea cup aside, obviously not intending to touch it again. Only Baggins kept thinking about something again, and did not swallow the milk tea in his mouth for a long time.
After thinking about it, I still frowned and thought.
Adrian is also hesitating now. The thing in his mouth is really different from the milk tea he drank in his previous life. The milk taste is very strong, but the tea leaves do not have that unique fresh smell, only a heavy burnt smell.
The taste is a bit bitter, not the bitterness of tea with a sweet aftertaste, but a burnt bitterness.
Adrian hesitated for a moment, but decided to swallow it, not for the sake of face. Although the tea was made by him, neither Orn nor Vicki would question him.
He is a high-ranking elf noble, the lord of several people. Neither Ornn nor Vicki will doubt him because of this. But in front of Baggins, the actual maker of tea, if Baggins spits out the milk tea in his mouth, Baggins will
It would be very shameless.
Although Adrian is a high-ranking elf noble lord who owns everything in the territory, and Baggins is just a vassal chef, Adrian is obviously not the kind of person who knows nothing about management. As expected, he has already swallowed the milk tea in his mouth.
And after Baggins finished thinking, he saw Adrian frowning and swallowing the milk tea in his mouth. Baggins showed a grateful smile on his face:
"Sorry, Lord, I seem to have betrayed your trust. Although I don't want to admit it, this milk tea really doesn't taste good. I'm not questioning the idea you provided, but I seem to have messed up. It's my problem.
,I apologize again, Lord."
Baggins took the initiative to take over all the responsibilities, but Adrian could not let Baggins take the blame. He waved his hand indifferently and said:
"It's not your problem, Baggins. As far as I know, it took tens of thousands of years for coffee to change from a fruit core to a popular beverage. You can do this in one afternoon. It's already
Very good, it’s okay, I’ll try with you a few more times and maybe you can succeed.”
"Thank you for your generosity, Lord, I will not let you down. However, although the finished product of this milk tea is really not delicious, I found that there seems to be a refreshing taste hidden between the bitterness and astringency. It seems that
There is still a little bit of Hui Gan that is hard to find, but I have to say that the direction you pointed out, Lord Lord, is correct."
Adrian couldn't help but look at Baggins with admiration. As expected, good chefs are gourmets. Baggins' ability to perceive taste clearly surpassed the other three people present. For example, Adrian really didn't notice the hidden meaning in Baggins' mouth.
There is a refreshing aftertaste under the sweetness of milk, bitterness and astringency.
However, Baggins's words also gave Adrian confidence. He did not doubt that Baggins was talking to please him. It seemed that Baggins did not need to do that. As Baggins, who was so close to the "Ciel" level of life, he had no interest in food.
Yu Wei's belief does not allow him to do such a flattering thing, and his reputation is guaranteed.
Adrian nodded and said: "Now that we have seen the direction, we will definitely be able to avoid many detours. Come on, Mr. Baggins, you are now responsible for the future of the territory."
At this time Vicki had to stand up and speak: "Lord, Chef Baggins, Mr. Orne, now that the sun is almost setting on the back of the world, I think we should consider this issue again tomorrow. Mr. Baggins, you
It’s time to prepare the lord’s dinner.”
Vicky's reminder made Baggins show an annoyed look on his face. He slapped himself on the forehead and said angrily: "Damn it, I neglected my duty. As a chef, I actually made the lord miss dinner time. This is unforgivable.
, Lord, please allow me to resign first, I have to make up for my mistakes at work."
Adrian did not feel that he was being treated poorly by his subordinates. He said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Baggins. For the future of the territory, we should all overcome obstacles. Besides, you have not neglected your duty. Go ahead and remember to experiment more."
Next time, I will temporarily transfer the two halflings who have become tailors to your staff."
Baggins quickly packed up the tea pots and tea sets, and hurried back to the kitchen without stopping for a moment. Orn was also about to leave. Adrian thought about it and took out a large bag from the space bracelet.
The quartz sand was handed over to Aoun and said:
"Mr. Aoun, I would like to ask you to make more tea sets without affecting the preparation of weapons in the territory. Of course, it is not limited to the shape I told you. You can use it freely and make some tea sets of different styles.
, if the tea and my promotion plan are successful, the tea sets born from your hands can also become a major source of income for the territory."
Aoun thought for a while and said: "Can any shape be used? I want to know if you have found a specific style for this crystal substitute in your mind. Lord, you know that in terms of intelligence level, I can't even catch up.
Where is your half?"
Adrian was somewhat pleased with Aoun's flattery. He thought about it and found that although he had seen a lot of tea sets in his previous life, if he was asked to describe it now, he couldn't describe it. For example, how would he describe Xi Shi to Aoun?
Where's the pot? There's no way to describe it, so in the end Adrian could only talk in general terms:
"Regarding this issue, Mr. Baggins just said that this new type of drink called tea has a fresh and meaningful taste, and the bitterness has a sweet taste, which is also like the process of life, so I hope that the tea set
The overall style can show a style that is detached from ordinary affairs."
In the previous life, if a product manager made such a request to a designer, the designer would probably beat the mediocre product manager half to death and put ten thousand feet on his head. But here is Si
In the world of Planti, both Adrian and Aoun are in Adrian's territory, and here, Adrian has supreme rights.
So although he didn't know what Adrian's specific request was, Aoun didn't ask any more questions. While thinking about what a "detached from worldly affairs" style was, he resigned and left the World Tree in Rivendell.
Seeing Aoun's doubts when he left, Adrian also laughed. He really embarrassed Aoun. To be honest, he didn't even know what request he made. But there is no need to worry about this issue. At most, Aoun is really
When I can't come up with the product, I'll draw a few sketches for him. Maybe I can build up my reputation as a genius again.
Vicky had been standing aside and watching all this quietly. She didn't speak except to remind Baggins that it was dinner time. She just looked at Adrian quietly.
To be honest, the failure of Baggins made Adrian somewhat frustrated. The success of tea in his previous life made him take it for granted, but he did not expect that the whole plan of making tea had not yet reached the stage of promotion, which Adrian found to be the most difficult.
After encountering a failure on the basis of the plan, Adrian looked up at the gradually darkening sky, sighed, and said to Vicki:
"We're going to make it, right Vicky."
"Of course, Master Adrian, I have never doubted that."
Adrian sighed again, "Okay, let's work hard together. Let's prepare some fresh tea tree buds with Luke. Vicky, we have to be prepared for a protracted war."
Adrian took Vicky to the canopy of Rivendell to enjoy the chilly evening breeze for a while, then returned to his World Tree Manor to wait for dinner.
…
In the time that followed, Adrian seized the time to write the "Glenson Tower Encyclopedia Natural History Volume 3" that was used to maintain his reputation. At the same time, he and Baggins studied and improved the preparation process of tea. The path of exploration was
It was difficult, but fortunately it was not a complete trial and error. After Adrian grasped the general direction, Baggins only took three days to make real green tea, and another three days.
After taking time to perfect the green tea preparation process, Adrian summoned all the senior officials in the territory to prepare to hold an internal tasting meeting for tea, a new drink "born" in his hands.
Alfred, Vicki, Orn, Baggins, Mellie, Orch, Bronn and the three female swordsmen, as well as all the earth elves and stone elf mages are present. Master, although in this world
Not noble enough, but still more knowledgeable than the warriors. It is worth mentioning that Tutam, the leader of the bugbears, was specially invited by Adrian to attend the tasting because of the performance of the bugbears.
.
Adrian looked at Tutam, who was short and strong, trying to make a serious expression on his fleshy face, and at the same time sitting upright on a low stool and looking nervously. As for why everyone else was sitting on the chair,
But Tutam could only sit on a low stool, not because Adrian discriminated against bugbears, but because bugbears were goblins too, and they were still too short. The seat would make Tutam even more uncomfortable.
Adrian smiled kindly at Tutam, telling him not to be so nervous, but Tutam became even more nervous because of Adrian's smile, and his whole body collapsed even tighter.
Adrian was not only impressed that the people under his command were really a group of lovely guys.
Adrian no longer paid attention to Tutam, because Baggins and Vicky had already arrived with tea sets. Under Adrian's teaching, Vicky transformed into a tea master and used a tea set in front of all the senior officials in the territory.
The dazzling yet fluent tea art made a group of country bumpkins who had never seen such high-end gimmicks breathe lightly without even realizing it.
When cups of green tea were brought to everyone who attended the tasting, they even didn't know how to drink the emerald green liquid in the "crystal cup" in front of them into their mouths.
What Adrian wanted was this effect. He picked up his teacup and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, I would like to thank you all for your efforts in the construction of the territory during this time. I, Adrian Aragund, Foehn Wind Windflei, will
I will always remember your selfless dedication. This is the latest drink discovered in our territory. I call it tea. I think this is a drink that can replace coffee and start a new trend. Now, please
Everyone, join me to taste the world’s first cup of tea.”
