After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 656 Being looked down upon when buying tea, tasting it
But now that we're already here, turning back is something the people in front of us definitely wouldn't want to do.

Jiang Hanying, who was planning to eat while shopping, said, "Okay."

I'll just have to keep my mouth shut for now.

We arrived at the floor where we had previously bought the bracelet and gifts.

What kind of gifts do your uncle and aunt like?

Li Chengxiao thought for a moment and replied, "My uncle and aunt both like to drink tea."

"Then let's buy tea leaves and teaware?"

"Ah."

What Li Chengxiao didn't say was that the tea those two usually drank probably couldn't be bought in this shopping mall.

But as long as the sentiment is there, that's enough.

After wandering around for almost a whole time, the two finally found a tea shop.

The decor is antique and elegant, and you can smell a faint aroma of tea as soon as you walk in.

However, compared to the shops that were so busy with customers that the staff couldn't keep up, this shop could only be described as deserted.

Hearing footsteps entering the shop, the shop assistant, who was sitting at the tea table playing on her phone, looked up at the door and saw a couple who looked like college students. She casually greeted them, "Take your time and look at any tea you want."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued playing on his phone.

Their tea shop is located in a shopping mall and occupies such a large area, which is enough to prove that the owner is not short of money.

The customers coming and going are mostly friends and regulars of the owner, and these people usually send their subordinates or nannies to buy tea; they rarely come in person.

People who happen to wander into their shop while shopping usually just take a quick look, marvel at the prices of the tea, and then leave.

You might not find even one in ten people who actually spends money to buy it.

She was used to people just looking and not buying, so she had no interest in getting up to greet and introduce the products.

Jiang Hanying couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the listed tea prices.

This was the first time she had ever seen something sold by the gram, and even the cheapest item was in the hundreds.

Some gift boxes even have the price tag directly displayed, with several zeros at a glance.

It feels more expensive than gold!

"Are all teas this expensive?"

She doesn't usually drink tea, but she has had tea and other beverages served by other actors and directors a few times while filming on set. They smelled similar to the aromas in the tea shop.

But those tea drinks, the cheapest one costs only a few yuan, and the most expensive one costs around twenty yuan.

Li Chengxiao wasn't surprised that she didn't understand the price of tea.

There is tea in the Canglan Realm, and it is even spiritual tea, but at that time, the Hanying Sword had not yet taken human form and could not eat or drink, so it naturally did not pay attention to what it ate.

I've become a foodie since coming into this world, but I've only been here a short time, so it's normal that I don't understand the ins and outs of tea.

He explained in a low, detailed voice: "Tea is graded. Ordinary tea is cheap, while good tea is much more expensive. The less produced and the rarer the tea, the more expensive it is."

"I understand. Since this tea is so expensive, can we taste it before buying it?"

Wouldn't a single bite cost hundreds?
Li Chengxiao glanced at the shop assistant who was still looking down at his phone and seemed to be chatting with someone not far away. He frowned imperceptibly. He was about to ask what kind of tea his uncle and aunt usually liked to drink, and then choose one that was reasonably priced in the shop.

Even if it's not as good as what they usually drink, my uncle and aunt will still brew it for me a few times because of their good intentions.

Looking up, I saw a shop assistant in the same uniform hurrying in from the back door and waving.

When the others quickly arrived, they asked, "May I try some tea?"

The shop assistant was taken aback at first, then nodded, "Sure, which one would you like to try?"

"Ganlu and Tieguanyin tea."

"Okay, this way please. I'll brew some sample tea for you two right away." The new employee walked up to the tea table. "Sister Xiao Zhen? Sister Xiao Zhen, I'd like to use this tea table for a bit."

There are more than one tea table in the shop, but very few people actually come in to sample the tea. This is the first time she has encountered this since she started working here.

Currently, only this tea table is usable; the others need to be set up temporarily.

We can't just leave the guests waiting around while we're cleaning up.

The shop assistant, Xiao Zhen, couldn't help but glare at them, then looked at the two customers standing to the side, her eyes practically saying that they were there to get free good tea.

Ultimately, he was still concerned about the surveillance cameras overhead, so he got up and left the table.

What's the point of being proactive? In the end, it'll all be a waste of time!

She simply couldn't believe that a college couple whose clothes weren't exactly designer brands could afford the tea in this store.

"Please take a seat, both of you."

After the two guests were seated across from each other at the tea table, the new employee turned on the shop's sound system, and the melodious sound of a guqin immediately filled the air.

Then he lit some incense sticks that were placed on one side of the tea table.

The atmosphere of burning incense, listening to music, and sipping tea is immediately created.

Finally, I washed my hands again meticulously before officially starting the tea-making process.

First, he took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to the two customers. "We use this brand of mineral water to brew tea in our shop. It has a slightly sweet taste. Please take a look. This bottle has never been opened."

Jiang Hanying nodded.

"Checked and found to be correct." Only then did the clerk open the bottle cap and pour the water into the glass kettle next to it.

While waiting for the water to boil, she took the two tea sample packs that Li Chengxiao had just asked for. After checking that they were unopened, she opened the packaging and poured the tea into the disposable cups for tasting later.

"You two may take a sniff first."

Jiang Hanying took the cups and smelled them one by one through her mask. Thinking that she would have to take off her mask to taste them later, and seeing that there were no other customers in the store besides her and her cheap owner, she simply took off her mask. "They smell pretty good."

The shop assistant glanced up and was stunned when she saw the face revealed after the mask was removed.

After finally coming to her senses, she opened her mouth to speak, only to see the other person put their index finger to their lips in a shushing gesture, and then nod, suppressing their excitement.

Then she looked at the man next to her.

This must be whoever it is, right?

What luck she has!

Thank you, Sister Xiaozhen, for giving her the opportunity to host the guests.

No, we should thank her for her professionalism!
After the water boiled, it was left to cool for a while, and the staff finally calmed down and began to brew the tea more meticulously.

Then came another period of waiting.

It wasn't until the shop assistant raised his hand and gestured for them to enter that they finally said, "Alright, you two can try it now."

Jiang Hanying picked up the cup, blew on it to cool it down, and took a sip. "It's delicious!"

She didn't know how to describe it, but it was definitely much better than the tea she drank on set before, and the water used to brew the tea was also quite good.

No wonder it's so expensive!
Even though it tastes good, it's still expensive!

Li Chengxiao also took a small sip, swallowed it, and nodded. "Not bad."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a soft, ambiguous laugh came from the other side of the embroidered screen.

New employee: "..."

She now had an urge to go behind the screen, grab the person, and see the faces of the two guests who were currently tasting the tea.

Let's see if we can still laugh then!
