Pet King - Chapter 99

Chapter 99
"An ice water" soon became famous in Binhai City .


Zhang Zian’s order was out of everyone’s expectation .
Jiang Tianda was so angry that he wanted to beat up Zhang Zian through the computer monitor .
The female owner already had the water boiled and was about to clean the tea set with it . As she heard Zhang Zian, her hand shook and some steaming hot water spilled .
The waitress was looking at Zhang Zian as if she could not believe what he said .
Even the benevolent and righteous cat napping next to the stove slightly moved . Zhang Zian confirmed that she was not sleeping nor deaf . Just like humans, some cats lose their hearing ability as they get old . Sometimes they yell and sometimes they don’t respond to their master . These are all signs of cats losing their hearing ability .
"What? Is water not available?" Zhang Zian asked .
The waitress turned around and looked at the female owner for help .
The female owner put down the silver teapot . She put a thermometer in the teapot to monitor temperature change . She slightly nodded after thinking for a bit .
The waitress then announced with a shaking voice, "One…iced…water!"
Zhang Zian nodded with satisfaction . "Cool . Please hurry!"
The broadcast room was once again heated up .
"What the f*ck?! Hurry up?!"
Ordered an iced water in a teahouse? Man, you are shameless!"
"Mr . Scrooge in real life!"
"Agreed!"
"Shameless indeed! Couldn’t find a better word for him!"
Snowy realized her live show broadcast room was a lot more active since she met Zhang Zian . Not only the number of viewers had gone up but also the number of tips she received .
Before she met Zhang Zian, she had a certain number of fans every time . Most fans watched her show quietly . Only a few people talked during the show . Sometimes she was even in doubt when she had thousands of fans watching online . Ever since Zhang Zian made his appearance, fans could not stop talking about him…even that mysterious rich person [Binhai Local] had changed . Usually, he only spoke when he tipped . Now he had been actively scolding Zhang Zian like everyone else .
What an interesting person! She thought to herself, "He always does something out of people’s expectations . " The female owner picked out a tea tin from the shelf, used a small spoon to pick up some tea leaves and put them in the tea bowl . When the temperature dropped slightly, she poured hot water into the tea bowl . Loose tea leaves swirled as water was poured in . A light tea color came out as the leaves swirled . The aroma from that tea soon filled the whole room .
When water was about half an inch from the top, she stopped pouring, covered with a lid, picked out some bubbles and then threw away the tea . The first brew was only for cleansing the tea leaves and wakening the taste of tea .


That tea was expensive . She dumped it out like that?
"What a waste!"
"May I work there? I could replace that waste tea bucket!"

She did everything again, poured water in the tea bowl for the second time . This time she didn’t dump out the tea . Instead she closed the lid tightly .
During that time, the waitress delivered Zhang Zian’s order on a tray…an iced water .
"How much is it?" he asked .
The waitress looked at the female owner again . The owner didn’t give a specific response .
"Um… 88 Yuan," the waitress had to make something up .
Zhang Zian didn’t take out his wallet but looked at her . "May I say something?"
The fans were extremely mad . What a goofball! How could he be so demanding ordering only an ice water?!


The waitress didn’t know how to react so she turned to the female owner for help again .
The female owner cleared her voice and said peacefully, "Of course . We don’t have a comment book yet . Sir, please tell us . We will remember it . "
"Okay," Zhang Zian said . "First, you should have a comment book . "
The female owner nodded, "That’s true . We just opened so we didn’t think of that . "
"Very well," Zhang Zian continued . "Second, you charged me 88 Yuan for this water . Honestly it isn’t expensive because it is Fiji water carried up by a porter . However, iced water is not listed in your menu and you are selling this water for 88 yuan . It is a breach of pricing regulations . You should list everything you sell clearly . I am a businessman so I wanted to remind you . "
The female owner paused, then nodded, "Sure . We accept your comments . As a thank you gift, your water will be free . "
Zhang Zian then nodded happily, "It is not too late to take my advice . "
…
In the corporate building of Jiang’s Group, a huge noise came from Jiang Tianda’s office . The secretary thought something happened . She quickly ran in his office and saw that Jiang Tianda had thrown the monitor on the floor . Jiang Tianda started stepping on the monitor a few times . He scolded as he stepped on the monitor, "F*cking liar!" The secretary was so shock she didn’t know what was going on and how to react . Jiang Tianda, the CEO had never been this angry before .
After letting out his anger, Jiang Tianda fixed his suite and said seriously, "Please get me a new monitor . "
…
Time was up! The tea was done after one minute . The female owner picked up the lid, poured the amber color tea into a smaller teacup on a tray . The waitress sent the tray to Snowy’s table .
"Please enjoy, madam . "
Snowy pointed her cell phone at the tea cup .
[Art of Tea]: Different tea cups should be used for different types of tea . Green tea, yellow tea, and lightly fermented oolong tea is light . A glazed smooth china tea cup, such as porcelain, celadon and Ruding Jun cup releases the best aroma . Black tea, Puer, and heavily fermented oolong tea need to use Yixing clay or ceramic cups . Those cups have a rough surface with large pores which only retain a perfect level of aroma . This is what our Chinese culture value the most – balance . Snowy’s cup is a celadon cup specialized for making tea .
People admired Art of Tea’s knowledge and forgot scolding Zhang Zian .
"Holy Sh*t! I feel like I am drinking tea with a dog’s bowl . "
[Art of Tea]: If it is glass, it is fine . Glass is similar to porcelain .
"Thank you! Let me cry alone…"
Snowy giggled, "You guys embarrass me . "
[Art of Tea]: "After all, only professional teamakers care about these things . A normal person really doesn’t care, as long as tea is good . Thinking too much about the tea cups will only be an interruption to enjoy a good cup of tea . "
