Chapter 321 "Zhou Xiaoli's System"(2/2)
Of course, the above are all speculations. Anyway, Zhou Xiaoli’s decision to study abroad has basically been decided.
Uh~ It seems like the topic has gone a bit far.
Today Chen Li was here for a banquet, so when he led Liu Qingqing into the courtyard, he suddenly discovered.
This courtyard house is actually a private restaurant!
In vain, Chen Li thought about a lot of things outside the courtyard, but when he came in, he found that this was actually a private kitchen in normal business.
It was as if Chen Li had taken off his pants, but the other party showed him this. This somewhat disappointed Chen Li.
Originally, Chen Li thought that this courtyard house that belonged to Zhou Xiaoli's father's friend was so luxurious.
After discovering that this was a private restaurant, I instantly felt that the quality of this courtyard house had dropped to rock bottom!
Yes~ even though Zhou Xiaoli said that this private kitchen is quite awesome.
But no matter how awesome the private kitchen is, it is still a business place to make money.
Compared with a private mansion or something like that, this is not even the slightest bit inferior!
"Dad~!"
Entering the small courtyard, Chen Li found that there was an Eight Immortals table in the courtyard, and a tea set on the table.
At this moment, opposite the Eight Immortals table, a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked a bit polite just got up.
"Uh~!"
At first glance, Chen Li felt a little surprised.
Because Zhou Xiaoli’s father looks a bit young!
But after getting closer, Chen Li found that Zhou Xiaoli's father's temples were already a little gray, but he looked full of energy and the smile on his face looked quite confident!
Okay~ I have to admit that Zhou Xiaoli’s father is a bit handsome.
It was precisely because of this handsomeness that Chen Li felt the "youthful" state of the other person!
In fact, he has a good spirit and doesn’t feel like Zhou Xiaoli’s father, but like Zhou Xiaoli’s eldest brother?
Of course~ Zhou Xiaoli even shouted out, so naturally Chen Li would not recognize her blindly.
"Hello Uncle Zhou!"
"Hello Uncle Zhou!"
Chen Li and Liu Qingqing stepped forward to greet each other, while Zhou Xiaoli's father, Zhou Bowen, smiled and nodded.
"Okay~Okay!"
"Sit down and drink some tea first!"
Zhou Bowen stretched out his hand as an invitation, motioning for Chen Li and Liu Qingqing to sit down.
But to be honest, Chen Li really wanted to complain!
Although it is already April, the temperature today is actually not high!
Moreover, in April in Yanjing City, not only is the temperature not high, the weather is even not very good!
Yanjing always encounters some extreme weather in March and April every year, such as sandstorms!
Of course, there will definitely be no sandstorm today, but the weather is not very good either.
The sun has disappeared in the sky, and there is a slight breeze from time to time. Drinking tea outside in such weather is really mind-blowing.
Okay~ Come to think of it, Chen Li would definitely not say these words.
The two sides started to chat, or to be precise, they were complimenting each other!
Chen Li praised Zhou Bowen for being "young" and doing well in business!
Zhou Bowen praised Chen Li for being young and promising and doing well in business! He also praised Liu Qingqing for being beautiful and having good grades. She was admitted to Yenching University and so on.
In short, this set of opening remarks is basically indispensable.
After some pleasantries and courtesies, Liu Qingqing was dragged by Zhou Xiaoli to visit the courtyard, while Chen Li stayed for tea!
The tea was brewed in advance, but what Chen Li was more concerned about was that Bowen Zhou did not use a teacup, but a purple clay pot.
"Oh? Xiao Chen likes purple clay teapots?"
Who is Zhou Bowen? He is an old man who has worked hard in the business world for many years. At a glance, he noticed that Chen Li seemed to be interested in the purple clay pot in front of him.
However, what Zhou Bowen didn't know was that Chen Li was not actually interested in purple clay teapots, but felt that people who drank tea from purple clay teapots were actually quite boring.
Why? Because this purple clay teapot is too small!
It's such a small pot that's a little bigger. You can drink it dry with just one sip. I don't know what the point of drinking tea from this thing is.
Okay~ This is naturally because Chen Li has never seen the world!
Because whether Chen Li drinks tea, coffee, or even milk tea, he actually has only one purpose. Demand!
For example, when you are thirsty, drink mineral water!
When you feel no taste in your mouth, drink something!
When you feel sleepy, drink coffee!
Drink tea while talking with people outside!
Especially this tea drinking, after Chen Li in his previous life returned to Chengdu, this tea drinking took on another meaning.
In Chengdu, if a friend asks you to come out for tea, it does not necessarily mean that he wants to see you for something, because there is another possibility.
That’s playing mahjong!
The teahouse in Chengdu can hardly be called a teahouse. In fact, it should be called a mahjong parlor!
An automatic mahjong table, and a cup of vegetarian mahjong for each person! Ha~ so comfortable!
Especially when the sun is out, the business of the teahouses in Chengdu is very good.
Therefore, what Chen Li understands as drinking tea is actually not drinking tea for the sake of drinking tea.
This is why Chen Li doesn’t understand how some people feel about drinking tea from a purple clay teapot!
"Uh~ I can't say I like it, I'm just interested!"
"And I'm not interested in purple clay teapots either."
“Compared to the purple clay teapot, I am actually more interested in the value of the purple clay teapot!”
"Uncle Zhou, this purple clay teapot of yours is probably worth a lot of money, right?"
Naturally, Chen Li didn't know much about the purple clay teapot. But one thing he knew was that although it looked small, it was actually quite expensive.
It is said that as early as the 1980s, a high-quality purple clay teapot could be sold for six figures.
Anyway, Chen Li in the previous life didn’t quite understand this! And Chen Li now~ actually doesn’t understand it very well either!
But it doesn’t matter whether he understands it or not. There are so many things he doesn’t understand, and it won’t have any impact!
"Haha! This purple clay pot of mine is a priceless treasure!"
"Look at this signature!"
When it came to the purple clay pot, Zhou Bowen also seemed to be interested. He picked up his own small pot and showed the signature to Chen Li.
But how can Chen Li understand this? He doesn’t understand purple clay pots. Even if this small pot is the work of some famous pot maker, he doesn’t recognize it?
Moreover, Zhou Bowen's priceless words left Chen Li speechless.
He knew that good purple clay teapots were expensive, and he vaguely remembered that some purple clay teapots could even be sold for tens of millions.
But these tens of millions also have a price, and Zhou Bowen's priceless treasure is somewhat exaggerated.
But then Chen Li was a little dumbfounded because he saw the signature on the purple clay pot!
At that time, Chen Li almost said "fuck me", but luckily he restrained himself and didn't really say it.
But he was still a little speechless, because the bottom of this purple clay pot had four big characters written in simplified Chinese!
"Made by Zhou Xiaoli"
