Chapter 332 Replacing With My Tea

Beside him, Shangguan Qing, who was sipping tea, was startled when he heard Christopher Yard's words. Even Weiken, who was present, had a look of astonishment on his face. Then, Shangguan Qing and Weiken exchanged a smile, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in their smiles. Christopher Yard looked at the smiles of the two and blinked his eyes. He felt a little embarrassed. Did he ask the question too suddenly? It seemed that these two people didn't want to believe him. But considering the fact that he hadn't achieved anything remarkable in other fields before, he touched his nose and smiled wryly. It was understandable that they didn't believe him. "Chris, Old Su has three hobbies. One of them is the food I just mentioned, and the second one is porcelain. Because of this, countless delicacies and precious porcelain are sent to Old Su every year. Of course, Old Su must have tasted a lot of food, but when it comes to porcelain, he may not necessarily accept it." Upon hearing Weiken's words, Christopher Yard seemed to understand something. "Mr. Weiken means that the birthday gift you want to give to Old Su this time is a piece of porcelain?"Weiken smiled faintly, shook his head, and continued, "First of all, Chris, I will never underestimate your culinary skills. As for porcelain, Su Wang has already set his eyes on a celadon lotus vase." "This celadon lotus vase can be considered a national treasure-level porcelain. If it weren't for the invasion of the island country into our Madrila, taking away many precious porcelains, this porcelain wouldn't have ended up being auctioned here by the island country. They claim that this celadon lotus vase was unearthed in their country." "Such behavior would make any Madrila person extremely angry, but there is nothing we can do about it. We can't just beat them up, as it would be detrimental to Madrila's international reputation. We can only buy it through the auction." After hearing Weiken's words, Christopher Yard probably understood what Weiken wanted to say. The celadon lotus vase, already being called a national treasure-level porcelain, would surely overshadow any other porcelain that appeared. Even if Weiken could obtain other porcelains, they would probably pale in comparison to the celadon lotus vase. Even if Weiken could acquire other porcelains, it would be impossible to avoid the celadon lotus vase. In that case, sending other porcelains would obviously be meaningless. It would be better to choose a different birthday gift. Thinking of this, Christopher Yard nodded in understanding. "Chris, since we don't need to give away the porcelain, but I have a way to make Mr. Su happy with the third thing he likes, which is tea. The tea I just had with Shangguan Qing is Longjing tea from West Lake, mixed with water from Hupao Spring. Can you taste the flavor?" Christopher Yard wasn't surprised to hear the affirmation. The Longjing tea and Hupao Spring in Hangzhou, although precious, wouldn't be difficult to buy, he thought. Christopher Yard even doubted whether Ken would be concerned about losing face if someone else brought the same West Lake Longjing tea. It seemed no different from the porcelain. Seeing the doubt on Yard's face, Ken burst into laughter. "Chris, you don't know this. This West Lake Longjing tea is an Expert Level tea. It's not like other Longjing teas that are machine-roasted. It's hand-roasted, and only 250 grams of tea leaves can be roasted at a time, taking 30 minutes!" "What's more important is that the person roasting the tea is not an ordinary person. He is a descendant of Lu Yu. When it comes to mastery of tea art, no one can surpass him. I have already invited him to Mr. Su's birthday celebration."Hearing Ken's plan, Christopher Yard's mouth slightly opened. Damn, Lu Yu is not an ordinary person. He is hailed as the Tea Immortal, revered as the Tea Saint, and worshipped as the Tea God! If Lu Yu were to ask if there was anyone else, no one would dare to step forward. Are these three titles a joke? In which field can anyone achieve such a level? No, even in the field of poetry, Li Bai can only be called the Poetic Immortal, while Du Fu holds the title of Poetic Saint. Comparing them, one can see how extraordinary Lu Yu is. Even if Lu Yu left behind some random insights, it would be enough for his descendants to benefit from. Just from Ken's words, Yard could tell that Lu Yu's descendant is indeed proficient in the art of tea. The tea roasted by Lu Yu would undoubtedly surpass that of an ordinary person. Not to mention Hupao Spring, even with ordinary water, he could brew excellent tea! Hearing this, Christopher Yard gave Ken a thumbs up. It seemed that the things Ken was giving away this time were all heavyweight items. Christopher Yard's thumbs-up made the smile on Ken's face even more apparent.Although Ken was confident, Christopher Yard felt that he still had room to play. Then, it seemed that Christopher Yard thought of something. He took a step forward and spoke in a casual tone: "Mr. Ken, if I can bring tea that Mr. Su would like even more, would you consider replacing your West Lake Longjing with my tea?" After Christopher Yard finished speaking, a mysterious smile appeared on his face. Ken and Qing, who were beside him, were naturally taken aback, and then shook their heads. It wasn't that they underestimated Christopher Yard, but West Lake Longjing was a renowned tea that couldn't be compared to ordinary tea. Even the Biluochun from Suzhou, the Pu'er from Yunnan, and the Yulu from Enshi might not surpass West Lake Longjing. Otherwise, Ken wouldn't have been so confident earlier. "Chris, if your tea can win my approval, it's not impossible to replace my West Lake Longjing. Not only will I not be angry, but I will also be grateful." "A tea that can surpass West Lake Longjing is rare, even in Madrid. As a tea lover like me, I will definitely feel fortunate when that happens." Ken wasn't angry. He patted Christopher Yard's shoulder, and his smile was extremely cheerful. The sound of his laughter reached Christopher Yard's ears, giving him a warm feeling.However, Christopher Yard, who had confidence in himself, also smiled confidently. "In that case, Mr. Ken, let's make a deal. I will definitely let you taste a delicious tea." "Great! Great!" Ken said two "greats" in a row. Although he had only known Christopher Yard for a short time, he didn't think Christopher Yard was a person who spoke without thinking. Therefore, he directly believed in Christopher Yard. At this moment, Ken raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and then turned his gaze towards Christopher Yard. "Chris, I was wondering if you would be interested in viewing some porcelain."
