Ninth Uncle treated Ren Tingting as a junior and was naturally very happy to see her. He chatted with Old Master Ren about how Ren Tingting looked like back then.
Lu Yuan only returned a polite bow and did not pay too much attention to it.
This made Ren Tingting somewhat curious about Lu Yuan!
Ren Tingting had just returned from the provincial capital. She was only wearing a formal dress to attend the banquet out of courtesy, but soon, Ren Tingting noticed that something was wrong!
The atmosphere in Ren Town could not be compared to that in the big provincial capital. This gown attracted the attention of many people. Almost all the young men were attracted by Ren Tingting, except for Lu Yuan!
Ren Tingting and Lu Yuan were very close to each other, but Lu Yuan only looked like he was lost in thought and did not care about the beauty sitting beside him.
He wasn't pretending to attract girls, but he really didn't care!
Women were like this. If a man was too close to her, she would find him unattractive. However, if the man really did not care, the woman would instead become curious about him!
"Oh, right, Ninth Uncle, what do you and little friend Lu Yuan want to drink? Don't stand on ceremony and order whatever you want!”
Old Master Ren called out, and the messenger delivered a few dishes, one for each of them.
Ninth Uncle opened the menu and saw English. Ninth Uncle was embarrassed. He did not know any English and could only watch Lu Yuan's actions.
Ren Tingting said very familiarly,""Give me two cups of coffee and some egg tarts!”
Lu Yuan glanced at the menu and frowned."Don't you have any Kabuki here?”
As soon as Lu Yuan said that, Ren Tingting's brows froze!
Kabuki?
What was this?
The attendant at the side looked at Lu Yuan in surprise and said apologetically,"The production conditions for Kabnochi are rather harsh. Even the provincial capital might not have it.”
"In that case, two cups of Earl Grey tea!”
Ninth Uncle might not be used to coffee, so he might as well have two cups of tea.
Lu Yuan closed the menu and returned it to the waiter. The waiter knew that he had met an expert. He nodded and quickly ran to the kitchen. He wanted the kitchen to order carefully and make sure that the customer was satisfied.
"Big Brother Lu, what's a Kabuki? Also, what was Earl Grey tea?”
Ren Tingting was like an obedient rabbit as she asked curiously.
Even Old Master Ren and Ninth Uncle pricked up their ears. In this era, most people did not even know what coffee was. They also wanted to broaden their horizons.
"Cappuccino is also a type of coffee. It's a type of Italian coffee. As for Earl Grey tea, it's actually the black tea of the Ying country.”
"Do foreigners drink black tea too? Is it any different from our eastern black tea?”
Ninth Uncle was a little curious. Didn't Westerners drink something that looked like black Chinese medicine? How did he know how to drink tea?
"There are also foreigners who love to drink tea. For example, Country Ying is a big country that drinks tea. Things like coffee are common in Country Ying. On the contrary, tea leaves are very rare.”
Lu Yuan was indeed telling the truth. Whether one wanted to drink coffee or tea, it was a matter of personal taste. However, just by looking at the degree of preciousness, top-grade tea leaves could be several streets ahead of top-grade coffee!
For example, the Da Hong Pao in Wuyi Mountain was hundreds of years old, and the annual yield was only a few catties. In the future, the price of a kilogram was tens of millions. One sip was the price of a car!
Top-grade coffee, such as cat poop coffee, cost at most a few thousand yuan per kilogram. Although the finished product was more expensive, the two were not on the same level.
After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, Ninth Uncle also understood that tea was much better than coffee. Otherwise, why would the foreigners like tea so much!
Old Master Ren also raised his eyebrows. He used to think that Western restaurants only had coffee, but he didn't expect Western restaurants to have tea. He couldn't help but be curious.
"Um, give me a cup of black tea too!”
"And me, I want it too!"
Ren Tingting saw that everyone was drinking Earl Grey tea, so she also ordered a cup.
Just like that, the four of them drank black tea in the western restaurant. Whether they were used to the taste or not was another matter, but the main thing was their face!
The reason why Old Master Ren invited Ninth Uncle to a western restaurant was mainly because western restaurants were too rare. It was a great honor to treat people here!
Everyone in the western restaurant was drinking coffee here, but they did not know that the black tea of the Ying country was much more precious than coffee. It was the most prestigious to drink tea here!
When Old Master Ren saw the surprised expressions of the people around him, he could not hide the smugness on his face!
Most of the customers who could come to this western restaurant paid attention to their reputation. For a moment, the customers in the western restaurant ordered black tea one after another. Earl grey tea was sold out for a while, which was unexpected by Lu Yuan.
However, this was all for the future.
"Brother Lu, how do you know so much about the West?”
In this era, many people had never even heard of the word " Western ", let alone understand the Western world. However, Lu Yuan knew so much Western knowledge, which made Ren Tingting even more curious.
He was so proficient in Western knowledge, but he became Ninth Uncle's junior brother and became a Taoist priest at such a young age. This was simply a mystery!
"I've only been to the West a few times.”
Lu Yuan was very humble, but Old Master Ren was extremely surprised!
"Little Brother Lu, you've actually been to the West?”
In the huge Ren Family Town, there were very few people who went to the provincial capital, let alone the West. Moreover, Lu Yuan had actually been to the West a few times. How could Old Master Ren not be surprised?
Ren Tingting's eyes were filled with stars. She also wanted to study in the West, but it was too far away from here. As a girl, she couldn't go at all.
Ren Tingting suddenly wanted to know more about Lu Yuan, especially about the West.
However, Lu Yuan frowned slightly. The reason he came to Ren Family Town was to go to Happy Red Courtyard to play…cough cough, to sign in. Naturally, he was unwilling to spend too much time here.
Without waiting for Ren Tingting to ask for advice, Lu Yuan stood up first.
"Senior Brother, I want to go outside for a walk.”
"Yes, you remember the way back, right?”
Ninth Uncle did not stop him. He had serious business to discuss with Old Master Ren.
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'll take my leave first. Old Master Ren, Miss Ren, excuse me.”
Lu Yuan bowed lightly and left.
Looking at Lu Yuan's departing back, Ren Tingting bit her lips in frustration. She still had a lot to say to Lu Yuan!
Ren Tingting rolled her eyes and stood up."Daddy, I'm going to buy rouge. I'll leave first!”
Ren Tingting said and hurriedly chased after Lu Yuan's figure.
Old Master Ren smiled apologetically at Ninth Uncle.""This girl has no manners. Ninth Uncle, let's talk about my father's burial…"
