On the other side of the garden is a children's activity area with a small fence. There are two rabbits and a duck in the fence, which seem to be Ax's pets.

In front of the yard is a fish pond with goldfish in it. There are some bamboo branches stuck on the grass beside the fish pond, with small dishes stuck to the bamboo branches.

Everyone sat down around the big coffee table on the terrace. Zhou Zhi looked at the bamboo branches in front of him: "What are those for?"

"That's what my dad feeds the birds." Cousin An Ran said with a smile: "Every morning, he puts rice grains on the plate for the birds to eat. It's so lively."

"Uncle is really good at playing." Zhou Zhi was a little envious: "Why didn't I think of that?"

"There is also a wooden box there with earthworms in it, for fishing." Cousin An Ran pointed to a place where there was a small vegetable patch with a wooden box next to it.

"Mom and dad still like to grow vegetables?" Li Laosan found this pattern a bit novel.

"This is the easiest one." Su Datou said with a smile: "That's the big balcony of my uncle's house. It's all planted with vegetables for grandma."

"Uncle, have you started practicing Kung Fu tea?" Zhou Zhi looked at the tea set on the coffee table and prepared to do it.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Li Laosan quickly took over: "I heard that dad likes to drink tea, so I got him eyebrows."

"Well, exports have been switched to domestic sales." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

It’s funny to talk about the tea market in Hong Kong Island. After the opening up, many customs and languages ​​in the mainland were greatly influenced by Hong Kong Island, but only about the preference for tea, Hong Kong Island was in turn influenced by Guangdong Province, and it has remained the same

.

Nowadays, the most popular ones are Gongmei and Shoumei, but they have begun to transition to Tieguanyin and Gaoshan Oolong. After a while, Dancong and Dahongpao will start to be hyped, and then there will be Pu'er, Xiaguantuo, and then they will become Xiaomei.

Green tangerine, Fuding white tea, Xinhui tangerine peel...

In the years when "the whole country is looking at Hong Kong Island", tea has stepped out of its own "countercurrent".

Both Gongmei and Shoumei belong to white tea. White tea is semi-fermented. Due to problems with the production process, the newly made white tea will have a "grassy smell" and needs to be stored. The longer it is stored, the more fragrant the taste will become.

mellow.

This tea is popular in Guangdong mainly because of its "great clearing fire", which is said to be able to replace rhino horns.

Today's products are just like the soy sauce from Zhou Zhi's hometown. Once Hong Kong Islanders take a fancy to it, mainlanders cannot afford it.

For example, Chen Gongmei, who has been admired by Zhou Zhi for the past twenty years, is not accessible to everyone not to mention the mainland, even Hong Kong Island.

However, when this guy appeared in the mainland, he was almost a secret admirer. My uncle, who was used to drinking green tea, definitely didn't like him.

Sure enough, I heard cousin An Ran say: "There were only so many tea leaves last time I came here, and now there are basically still so many..."

"I'll take it away later." Zhou Zhi said politely, "It's very hot in the dormitory. In summer, I can make a big cup in the morning and take it to the study room to drink for the whole day."

"This tea has a special feature. It has a soft taste and tastes better cold than hot."

After dividing the tea for everyone, Li Laosan said: "What is dad busy with? How about me and An Xin help too?"

"That's a shameful thing to say." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Cousin An An is a master who never touches Yang Chun Shui, not to mention you may not be able to recognize all the ingredients in Shu."

"What kind of food is this? It smells so good." Li Laosan sniffed.

"Steamed pork with vermicelli and rice flour is my uncle's specialty, but his process is too complicated and he can't make it more than once or twice a year." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "After all, it's your uncle who's here, so we can take advantage of you."

"It's true." Sister Cancan smiled and said, "I got up after four o'clock this morning and started preparing. I have been busy until now."

"By the way, I've always been curious. When did you start?" Jin Cancan asked, holding the ax over and giving him a drink of water: "I stopped An Xin when he said he was going to Shenzhen City to build a factory. Fortunately, I didn't stop him.

Cheng, were you before or after that?"

"Sister Cancan, you are such a hindsight." Zhou Zhi expressed disdain. Now that he could decipher some things, he smiled and said, "When did Cousin Anxin start learning Cantonese?"

"Learning Cantonese?" Jin Cancan was shocked: "Not that early, right? Did you start after going to the Canton Fair for the first time? It's impossible, impossible..."

Zhou Zhi raised his eyebrows and drank a drink: "Sister Cancan, you and cousin An An have been classmates since childhood. Let me ask another question. As far as you know, what is cousin An An's attitude towards learning? What is her attitude towards learning Cantonese?"

After saying this, Sister Cancan immediately understood that Xu Anxin, a scumbag, had never cared about learning. Otherwise, how could such a smart person end up in a technical school? However, the seriousness in learning Cantonese was indeed very different from before. I thought

This best friend felt sorry for her brother who bravely shouldered the burden of developing the market, and she was so moved at the time.

"Damn girl, you actually kept it secret from me for so long!"

Xu Anxin laughed so hard: "Don't listen to Jiuzi's nonsense. We had just met at that time, and we were all so busy. How could we have the heart to think about this..."

"Really?" Jin Cancan looked at Xu Anxin and Li Laosan suspiciously.

Zhou Zhi looked at Li Laosan: "Jack, do you know that one day in my second year of high school, my cousin suddenly called me and asked me what the Cantonese word 'I love you so much' means. Did you guys keep in touch on the phone at that time?"

"I remember." Li Laosan said: "That was the first time I confessed to An Xin, but An Anxin just said yes and then hung up, which made me worry all day long..."

"Didn't you think that she didn't understand it at all? Her Cantonese skills at that time were very poor..." Zhou Zhi laughed like crazy: "It's fine even if you say you love Tiger Oil, why did you remember to express your love in Cantonese?"

Ha ha ha ha……"

Sister Cancan was also laughing so hard, she hugged her ax and confessed: "We axes must study hard in the future, otherwise we will have to hire an interpreter to fall in love, hahaha..."

When Sister Cancan said this, Zhou Zhi couldn't stop laughing: "I actually helped translate a love letter for the Light Industry Bureau in Jiachuan..."

"Ah? What's going on?"

When Zhou Zhi told the story about how Director Li of the Youth Labor Bureau took the letter in English very seriously, asked Zhou Zhi to translate it, and then discovered that it was a love letter written by his daughter's classmate to her, everyone was in a state of joy.

"Come and eat." My uncle greeted the overjoyed crowd at the door: "Can Xiao Li have something to drink?"

Li Laosan was a bachelor, so he immediately hung up his exemption card: "You can drink a little with dad, but not too much. I have learned how much you Shu people can drink."

"Really? Have you ever drank with us Shu people?"

"Uh, this..."

Cousin An An heard this just as she took the bowl out of the kitchen, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue behind her uncle and make a curse face.

Zhou Zhi quickly picked up: "Have I not been to Hong Kong Island? Thanks to Third Brother for hosting me, people in Hong Kong Island pay more attention to health."

"By the way, the longan wine prepared by my fourth cousin is ready to drink. This time I brought two jars to my uncle. How about we drink that one?"

"Okay, let's just drink for fun today," my uncle said with a smile, "I don't want to persuade you, but don't overdo it. We mainly eat vegetables!"

"It smelled so good just now." Li Laosan said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad."

There is a small table and chair on the side of the axe. Sister Cancan and Zhou Zhi are setting him up. After hearing this, Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "This is my uncle's special skill. It is very delicious, but the process is too complicated than ordinary steamed pork."

"

Steamed pork can be as simple as it is simple. Just mix the meat with watercress and rice noodles, put it on a plate and put it in a steamer to steam until cooked.

But if we say complicated, it can be very complicated.
