Chapter 126
The King of Strategy’s Ability
Eve was curious about one thing. How would a merchant as wealthy as Marco Polo have his tea?
It was no surprise. She commanded the kitchens at the castle. And so she was interested to see how things were done at other houses.
The tea that we were served seemed like common black tea to me, but Eve took note of how it was poured.
A pretty maid poured the tea into enough cups for everyone with smooth movements and said, ‘the tea is ready.’
Personally, I didn’t see any difference with what I was used to seeing, but Eve claimed that the maid’s technique was first-rate.
“The selection of tea leaves, the way she steamed them. It is all impressive.”
And so I tried drinking the tea, and it was definitely good. There was almost no bitterness and the scent spread delightfully through your nose.
“I’m glad that you like it.”
