Chapter 144: The Story of Biluochun (Adding more to the Court of the Leaves of the Moe Lord!)
This teahouse is called Ming Yaju, and it is also very close to Qianyu Media Company, and it takes about ten minutes to arrive by car, which is one of the more reputable teahouses in this area.
The scale is relatively large, and the consumption is naturally not low.
Usually Li Yuxing and his wife don't have time to cook, so they either eat in the company canteen or order takeout, but Li Yumin and Qiqi came over at noon today, of course, they have to take them to a better place to eat.
As soon as I was about to enter the door, a waiter greeted me.
"Hello sir, are there two of you here?"
"Four, two more haven't arrived. ”
At this time, the waiter saw Sika in Li Wanqi's arms, Sika was looking at the surrounding environment curiously with wide eyes, and its little master who looked a little green, how cute and cute this combination was.
It's just that the waiter is still embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we can't bring pets in here......"
"Oh, we booked a private room and it won't affect other diners. Li Yumin told the waiter the box number.
"Well, yes, sir, please come with me. The waiter nodded, and took Li Yumin and Li Wanqi to the side of the box.
The environment of Ming Yaju is really good, Li Yumin also likes it, the three brothers like to drink tea, as soon as they come here, they can smell a trace of tea fragrance wafting in the air, as well as the surrounding antique decoration, in Shanghai, a super first-tier city, it can be regarded as a high-end tea house.
Li Wanqi hugged Sika, and also looked at the surrounding environment curiously, this is the first time she has come to a teahouse of this quality.
After all, drinking tea, when I hear it, it seems that only adults like it, and when they go to find something to eat, they will not run to the teahouse.
Follow the waiter slowly upstairs, a burst of guzheng music sounded leisurely in his ears, Sika and Li Wanqi looked for the sound, only to see a young lady dressed in Hanfu playing gently in the stage of the attic opposite, with this antique decoration and tea fragrance, the artistic conception suddenly rose.
Li Wanqi touched Sika's head and said with a smile: "Sika, do you think that young lady is as good-looking as Sister Lime?"
"Meow. ”
Definitely not, Lime looks better than her.
Sika thought about it, why don't you persuade Lime to learn Guzheng in the future?
After going up to the second floor, walking through the long mural painted with the picture of the river during the Qingming Festival, the waiter opened the door of a box and let Li Yumin and Li Wanqi in.
The doors and windows here are all ancient styles, although they are not window paper, but they are already very immersive.
"The two of you will take a break. ”
"Okay, thanks. ”
The waiter left, but soon a little girl in a cheongsam came, knocked on the door and came in, lit the sandalwood in the incense burner, and after covering the incense burner, the fragrance slowly spread in the wing.
This is exquisite, worthy of being a high-end place, Sika secretly sighed.
Qianyu Media was originally just a little-known small brokerage company, but over the years, its strength has continued to expand, and it has also gained a high reputation in the entertainment industry.
These artists are the core resources of the company, and Li Yuxing's status in Qianyu Media is also very high, and I heard that there is also a part of the company's equity.
Li Yuxing is not short of money, he is really busy and busy, among the three brothers, he is the youngest, but he is the first to have white hair.
"Wow, Dad, it's so upscale here. Li Wanqi's face was full of surprise.
"Your third uncle chose, I said to eat as much as you want, and he has to make a place like meeting a big customer. Li Yumin smiled helplessly.
The father and daughter sat separately at the coffee table, Li Wanqi didn't hold Sika anymore, and he was not afraid to wander around in the box.
After the cheongsam girl lit the sandalwood, she did not leave, but came over to light the charcoal fire, put water in the purple sand pot, and set it on the small stove to burn.
The water itself was hot, and it boiled quickly, and the little girl in the cheongsam asked Li Yumin what kind of tea she wanted to drink, and then picked up the small purple sand pot, roughly controlled the temperature, and made the tea very skillfully.
The temperature of the water used to make tea is also very particular, the old tea is usually brewed with boiling water, and the water temperature of about 80 degrees can be used for new tea.
Of course, it is impossible to say that you can take a thermometer to measure it, it all depends on the experience of the tea artist to control the temperature.
Li Yumin's Dongting Biluochun has a water temperature of about seventy or eighty degrees.
Sika had already returned from a stroll around the box, watching the cheongsam girl make tea with the same interest.
Making tea is also an art, and her slender and white fingers seem to dance between the cups, and the refreshing aroma of tea wafts through the flow.
"Sir, please use tea. ”
The cheongsam girl brought a cup of tea to Li Yumin.
Li Yumin stretched out his finger and knocked on the table to express his gratitude.
"Miss, please use tea. ”
The cheongsam girl brought another cup of tea to Li Wanqi.
Li Wanqi learned Li Yumin's movements, and also knocked on the tea to express her gratitude, but she was more blunt to do, and Li Yumin had taught her this etiquette a long time ago.
It's just that Qiqi usually drinks less tea, and always forgets how to knock, and occasionally can't remember, so he helps to support the teacup with his hand to show respect.
Li Yumin laughed and said: "You have made a mistake in this tea knocking." ”
"Oh? no, I'm just learning from you, knock three times. Li Wanqi was confused.
"I'm an elder to the younger generation, just knock one finger, if you are a junior, you should use your index finger and middle finger together, and knock three times to show respect and gratitude. ”
"I see, what if the younger generation expresses gratitude to the elders?"
Then put the five fingers together and knock three times with your fist, which is equivalent to the kneeling of the five bodies to the ground. ”
Li Wanqi was deflated, originally thought that a few simple knocks on the table would do, but it turned out that there were so many doorways inside.
"The reason why our China will be known as a country of etiquette is that all aspects of etiquette alone are enough for you to learn for a long time. Li Yumin said with a smile.
Of course, modern society pays attention to openness and diversity, and many complicated etiquette has been gradually abandoned.
After pouring the tea, the cheongsam girl nodded.
The conversation between Li Yumin and Li Wanqi did not shy away from her, she actually liked the father and daughter, many guests who came here, most of them were rich and powerful, and there were not many people who could knock on the table to thank her for pouring tea.
And the big cat they brought with them is so cute......
With a big round face and eyes like a sea of stars, he was playing with the little folding fan at the table.
It's so cute!
If it weren't for work, she wouldn't have been able to pet the big cat.
Li Wanqi picked up the tea and took a sip gently, the tea soup was clear in color, but the aroma was overflowing, and the fragrance immediately overflowed in the mouth, and the taste was endless.
"What kind of tea is this? It's quite delicious!" Li Wanqi couldn't help but pick up the teacup and take two more sips.
"This, Dongting Biluochun. The picks are the latest tender bud tips, and a pound of dry tea will cost about 50,000 or 60,000 tea buds. ”
"No wonder it's so delicious. Li Wanqi suddenly realized.
"Biluochun also has an allusion. It is said that a man on the shore of Dongting Lake fell in love with a girl named Biluo, and later the girl was kidnapped by the evil dragon, and the man desperately saved her, but he was also seriously injured. Later, Biluo girl found that a tea tree appeared in the place where the man and the evil dragon were fighting. In order to save the man's life, she took the tea buds in her mouth, kneaded and roasted them, and brewed them into a green and fragrant tea soup for the man to take, day after day.
In the end, the man survived, but the girl lost her vitality and finally died of emaciation. The man lost his beloved girl, and was so grief-stricken that he buried her under the tea tree, and the tea leaves picked by the tea tree were named 'Biluochun'. ”
Li Yumin's storytelling ability is first-class, and his voice is full of emotion, Li Wanqi squeezed around him and listened attentively, even the cheongsam girl listened to it with relish.
Li Wanqi likes to listen to stories, if this story is related to eating, it will be even better, just like "Lettuce Girl" she listened to when she was a child, a story that made her fall in love with eating lettuce.
After listening to the story, Li Wanqi sighed, what a poignant love......
"It turns out that this tea has an allusion, no wonder it tastes so good......"
Qiqi picked up the teacup and gently drank the remaining tea in the cup.
The cheongsam girl got up and came over to pour tea.
"Sister, your tea is so good. Li Wanqi smiled sweetly.
It is a very happy thing to be praised by others, and the cheongsam girl also smiled: "My sister's cat is also very cute." ”
Sika: "?"
The big cat, who was playing with a small folding fan at the table, looked back at her warily.
Forget about making tea, don't you want to make me!
