Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 230 Show off your skills to Teacher Kong

After a while, Mr. Kong finally appeared.

Kong Fengyan looks younger than his actual age and appears to be in his sixties.

Unlike what one might imagine, Kong Fengyan looked a little plump, but he stood straight, and it was obvious that he had received training when he was young.

However, looking at Kong Fengyan's eyes and temperament, he does have the feeling of an artist, this is not fake.

Wang Qiu Ming quickly stood up and greeted Kong Fengyan.

Hu Jiangshan naturally couldn't sit still anymore.

In front of the old artist, Hu Jiangshan must show respect.

Chen Yifei stood next to Kong Fengyan, looking very well-behaved.

Wang Qiuming smiled and said, "Teacher Kong, long time no see. You look very healthy!"

Kong Fengyan laughed and waved his hand: "Director Qiu Ming, you are so good at talking. My body is not good now. I am out of breath after walking outside for a few minutes. It is much worse than before."

Wang Qiu Ming smiled and said, "You're exaggerating, Mr. Kong. Your body is stronger than mine. I'm out of breath even after walking for a while."

Kong Fengyan laughed.

This guy Wang Qiu Ming really knows how to talk.

Kong Fengyan's gaze fell on Hu Jiangshan.

"Who is this……"

Wang Qiu Ming quickly introduced: "This is Mr. Hu Jiangshan, the grandson of Mr. Hu Yingxiang."

When Kong Fengyan heard that he was Hu Yingxiang's grandson, his expression changed. He looked at Hu Jiangshan for a few times, and then looked at Chen Yifei beside him.

Chen Yifei seemed a little embarrassed and couldn't help but cough lightly.

Hu Jiangshan understood that he had indeed harassed Chen Yifei during a charity event before.

Chen Yifei must have told Kong Fengyan, otherwise he wouldn't have behaved like this.

Just when Hu Jiangshan thought Kong Fengyan was going to get furious and chase them away, the other party asked them to sit down and asked someone to prepare tea.

There are two possibilities why Kong Fengyan was not angry.

One possibility is that he is too well-educated. He is a guest coming from afar, and was brought here by Wang Qiu Ming, so he has to give him face and not get too carried away.

The second possibility is that Chen Yifei did not make it very clear when she spoke at the time. She might have just said that Hu Jiangshan was a very annoying playboy, but at least she did not say that he was a playboy.

This situation is not so bad. Kong Fengfang will only think that Hu Jiangshan is uneducated and will not say that he is a pervert.

There is a tea table in the living room where you can make Kung Fu tea.

Chen Yifei placed the tea set on the tea table and took some tea leaves from the tea can to put into the teapot.

Kong Fengyan waved his hand: "No, no, Yifei, you are doing this wrong. You should warm the teapot first, otherwise the tea you brew will not taste authentic."

Chen Yifei sighed and had to put the tea leaves back into the teapot.

Hu Jiangshan could see that Chen Yifei was not very good at making tea.

This is also normal. Although Chen Yifei lived in mainland China when she was a child, she went to live in the beacon country on the other side of the strait before she was ten years old.

There is no atmosphere of drinking hot tea in the Lighthouse Country. People usually drink coffee or ice water. Hot water is rarely seen.

In Chen Yifei's mind, making tea is nothing more than putting tea leaves into the teapot first, and then adding hot water to make it into tea water.

In fact, this is essentially correct, but there are many details that need to be paid attention to, otherwise it will indeed affect the taste and mouthfeel of the tea.

For example, the first step is not to pour tea leaves directly into the teapot, but to warm the tea set.

For tea lovers, this step is indeed not insignificant, nor is it purely for the sense of ritual, but it is to give the tea temperature so that the aroma of the tea can be better volatilized.

Hu Jiangshan understands this very well.

Why does he know this?

As mentioned before, Hu Jiangshan was also a fan of both tea and coffee in his previous life. He drank both coffee and tea, and sometimes even drank both, which was quite exaggerated.

Hu Jiangshan was quite knowledgeable about how to make tea at that time. As long as he had a little time, he would make a pot of good tea and enjoy it for a moment.

Hu Jiangshan took a look at the tea leaves. It was top-quality Nanyun white tea, which was very rare. It would be a waste if it was not brewed properly.

"Or, let me do it."

Chen Yifei was stunned, and even Wang Qiumin glanced at Hu Jiangshan with an incredible look on his face.

Kong Fengyan smiled: "Can you make tea?"

Hu Jiangshan said: "I can't say I'm very good at it, but I know a little bit. If Mr. Kong doesn't mind, I'll try to make a pot of tea."

Kong Fengyan was a little surprised.

Isn't Hu Jiangshan an uneducated and unskilled prodigal? Why is he so modest?

Although Kong Fengyan is not a native of Hong Kong Island, she has many local friends there.

Kong Fengyan’s friends are certainly not ordinary people. They must be from the circle of wealthy people, so Kong Fengyan is not isolated from the news.

Kong Fengyan had long heard that Hu Yingxiang's grandson was indeed a funny guy and a fighter among the playboys, and he had also heard a lot of ridiculous things about Hu Jiangshan.

Later, when Chen Yifei was harassed by Hu Jiangshan at a charity dinner, she did mention it briefly to Kong Fengyan, but did not say much.

Hu Jiangshan was indeed right in his guess on this point.

Kong Fengyan didn't care at the time. He just lamented that Hu Yingxiang was so wise throughout his life, but how could he raise such a grandson. He was even worried that Hu Yingxiang would lose his integrity in his later years because of his grandson when he got old.

Now that I have seen Hu Jiangshan in person, my first impression is different from the rumors and even different from what his granddaughter Chen Yifei said.

It's really weird.

Of course, Kong Fengyan has come into contact with many people, so it is possible that Hu Jiangshan was pretending.

But when Kong Fengyan looked at Hu Jiangshan's sincere expression, she felt that it was not quite the case.

Kong Fengyan nodded: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Hu."

Hu Jiangshan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no."

While saying this, Hu Jiangshan had already started taking action with his hands.

I saw him swiftly pick up the kettle and pour the water into the teapot, then pick up the teapot and slowly shake it in a circle.

This is the tea warming set that Kong Fengyan mentioned just now.

In fact, this step is easier said than done, but it is quite difficult to do it properly.

Hu Jiangshan did a very good job. His speed and rhythm were impeccable. It was obvious that he was a veteran.

Kong Fengyan showed a slight surprise, as if it was quite strange.

Wang Qiu Ming is also a well-informed person. As a director, he has visited teahouses and coffee shops many times.

When Wang Qiu Ming saw Hu Jiangshan's move, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, Brother Hu, you're pretty good at this. Have you practiced it?"

Hu Jiangshan responded casually and started to proceed to the next step.

He poured the hot water in the teapot into several small teacups in turn, waited for a while, and then poured out all the water in the teacups.

This move surprised Kong Fengyan and Wang Qiumin even more, and even Chen Yifei showed a look of surprise.

Hu Jiangshan is not afraid of the heat?

You have to know that there is boiling water in the kettle, and the teacup is so thin that the boiling water is very hot when it is poured in, but Hu Jiangshan behaved as if nothing had happened and was calm as usual. Chen Yifei was secretly shocked, what a strong hand!

Just for this reason, the delicate-skinned Chen Yifei felt inferior.

Hu Jiangshan waited quietly for a few seconds and finally put a few spoonfuls of tea leaves into the teapot.

Hu Jiangshan picked up the teapot and shook his head.

Kong Fengyan was amused: "Oh, you are really an expert!"

People who know tea know that this technique is called shaking the fragrance. To do this step well, it also requires amplitude and rhythm. It is not enough to just shake it twice. Hu Jiangshan did it very well.

Hot water was poured into the teapot, and the fragrance was instantly stimulated.

Chen Yifei couldn't help but shudder, secretly surprised, how could it smell so good?

It was indeed magical. Chen Yifei had made tea before, but she had never smelled such a strong tea aroma, as if it burst out in an instant.

"Oh, it smells so good!"

The one who shouted was Kong Fengyan.

Kong Fengyan's voice was very excited, like a gambler who had seen gold.

There is no doubt that Kong Fengyan is an avid tea lover.

Hu Jiangshan has already started taking the next step.

Scrape off the foam, shake well, pour out the first pot of water, refill with water, then place several small teacups neatly in order and pick up the teapot.

Han Xin inspected his troops, Guan Gong patrolled the city, and the tea was poured accurately into the teacup...

Hu Jiangshan's hands are incredibly steady; the amount of water in several teacups is almost the same, which really shows his skill!
After a few cups of tea, Hu Jiangshan made a "please" gesture.

Kong Fengyan couldn't help but pick up a cup, took a sip, and his eyes lit up.

"Mm, delicious! Really good tea! Mr. Hu..."

Hu Jiangshan quickly said, "Teacher Kong, you can just call me Xiao Hu."

"Ah, Xiao Hu, you are really good at making tea. Have you learned this before?"

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand and said, "I just learned it by myself, based on my feeling. I have never learned anything."

Kong Fengyan couldn't help but drink up the tea in the cup, and Hu Jiangshan quickly refilled his cup.

It seems that Kong Fengyan really likes to drink.

Wang Qiumin also took a sip and was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Hu Jiangshan's skills were really good. The skills were not worse than those of the tea masters in the top teahouses, and seemed to be slightly better. The tea was particularly mellow.

Of course, it is also possible that the tea from Kong Fengyan’s home is good.

But I guess this is not the main factor.

The so-called good teas are actually all similar, just with different types of tea and different tastes. The key still depends on the skills of the tea master.

Seeing that her grandfather Hu Fengyan was drinking happily, Chen Yifei couldn't help but pick up the teacup and take a sip, and couldn't help but glance at Hu Jiangshan.

It’s really strange. How did Hu Jiangshan, a young man who loves to play, learn how to make tea?
The skill of making tea is acquired over time. You will get better and better with each pot of tea you make. There is no shortcut.

Hu Jiangshan is still so young, does he have the mentality to make tea?

It's impossible just by thinking about it.

But today she saw it with her own eyes, and Chen Yifei had no choice but to believe it.

While sipping tea, Kong Fengyan said, "Hu... Xiao Hu, your skills are really amazing, much better than mine. Does your grandfather like drinking tea?"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded: "Yes, my grandfather also loves tea."

"Then your grandfather is really happy."

Chen Yifei said: "Then you are not happy."

Kong Fengyan immediately laughed out loud: "Yifei, Yifei, why are you so jealous?"

After hearing this, Hu Jiangshan suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Hu Yingxiang is indeed a tea lover, but his grandson Hu Jiangshan has never made tea for him.

Yes, not once until now.

After all, Hu Jiangshan never drank tea before, let alone made tea himself.

Although Hu Jiangshan is different now, he still takes care of Hu Yingxiang's hobbies and fulfills his filial piety.

Hu Jiangshan secretly decided that he must always make two pots of good tea for Hu Yingxiang to make the old man happy.

When Hu Jiangshan showed off this skill, the effect was immediate and he immediately narrowed the gap between himself and Kong Fengyan.

Kong Fengyan even acted very close to Hu Jiangshan.

To be honest, even Wang Qiu Ming didn't expect Hu Jiangshan to be so powerful. It would have been fine if he hadn't made a move, but he subdued Kong Fengyan with one move.

You have to know that Kong Fengyan is getting younger and his temper is becoming more and more willful, sometimes he is just like a child.

Of course, only Chen Yifei's granddaughter can conquer Kong Fengyan

Therefore, Wang Qiu Ming was not completely sure whether Kong Fengyan could help him, but looking at the situation now, he estimated that there would be no problem.

Hu Jiangshan poured another cup of tea for Kong Fengyan. This was the umpteenth time he had to refill the pot of tea, and the whole pot of tea was almost finished.

Wang Qiuming said, "Teacher Kong, we came here this time because we have something to trouble you with."

Kong Fengyan held the teacup and laughed, "Director Wang, I've been waiting for you to speak. You are the kind of person who never comes to visit someone for no reason."

Wang Qiu Ming quickly waved his hands and said awkwardly, "Teacher Kong, what you said is true. I see you a lot."

"Hahaha, just kidding. Come on, what do you want from me?"

Kong Fengyan's gaze fell on Hu Jiangshan again.

The old man's brain has not degenerated. He knows that this matter must be related to Hu Jiangshan.

Wang Qiu Ming simply let Hu Jiangshan speak for himself.

Hu Jiangshan waited for Kong Fengyan to finish the tea in his cup, then refilled it quickly and said, "Teacher Kong, it's like this. My grandfather's birthday is coming up, and I want to give him a gift. He likes calligraphy and paintings, so I went to look for them, but I couldn't find a good one. Later, Director Wang told me that you were in Hong Kong Island. I was overjoyed, so I wanted to ask for a piece of Teacher Kong's work to give to my grandfather to show my filial piety."

Kong Fengyan heard it and said, "Oh, so that's it. It turns out that it's Mr. Hu's birthday. You are really thoughtful."

Hu Jiangshan quickly spoke a few humble words.

Chen Yifei looked at Hu Jiangshan and couldn't help but look at this young man with new eyes.

It is said that Hu Jiangshan is a playboy who only knows how to play around. It seems that this is a rumor. He is actually quite humane.

You should know that wealthy families usually give expensive gifts to their elderly parents on their birthdays, and they will choose to buy even works of art directly.

This is called spending money to save trouble.

The fact that Hu Jiangshan came to Kong Fengyan for help on this matter showed that he was much more sincere than just buying something ready-made.

Kong Fengyan put down the teacup and immediately slapped his thigh.

"Okay! You are so filial, and this is for Mr. Hu. If I don't agree, it would be unkind. How about this, you guys follow me."

Having said that, Kong Fengyan stood up.
