Speaking of tea, I believe that most Chinese people will not feel strange, after all, Huaxia is the source of tea culture and the hometown of tea. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info there are countless stories about tea in China, and tea art has long been an important part of Chinese culture.

Tea is the national drink of China, and it has a terrible influence in the whole of China, almost all the people drink tea, but there are countless people who like to drink tea, but there are very few people who really understand tea.

The vast majority of people drink tea that they grab some tea leaves and throw them into the quilt, and then start pouring water with a hot water bottle, and then they can drink it.

For tea, Bai Ye still knows a little bit about it, after all, he has been a neighbor with a tea shop for many years, and when he goes to have morning tea every morning, occasionally the boss will come over and chat with Bai Ye when he is not busy, and for a while Bai Ye in order to pretend to be forced outside, he also deliberately asked the boss a lot of questions about tea, and the boss did not hide his secrets, and he was very generous to Bai Ye A lot of dry goods. Therefore, although it is not as good as that kind of tea master, Bai Ye can be more or less able to get started.

And the predecessor of this life is also a person who likes tea, after all, people who came out of that kind of ancient family, influenced by the family, have more or less learned some ancient etiquette, and making tea is one of them.

Therefore, the tea ceremony kung fu of the white night, which has been combined with the experience of two lifetimes now, can be regarded as a small achievement.

"Well, let's take a look at all the teas here. ”

Bai Ye walked to the side of a shelf in front of the side, there are several tea cans on this shelf, this is not surprising, after all, the eleventh district is too much influenced by China, tea culture since the Tang Dynasty from China to the eleventh district, the people of the eleventh district were quickly conquered by this magical drink, to this day tea is also a popular drink in the eleventh district, it is said that in the eleventh district it is said that eight out of ten people drink tea, this proportion is not much worse than that of Huaxia, so, as a person from the eleventh district, Xiaolin's kitchen has a few cans of tea, which is not surprising。

"Hey, it's mostly green tea. ”

Opening the jars in turn, the rich aroma of tea suddenly came to the nose, Bai Ye looked into these tea jars, and found that most of the jars were green tea. In addition, there are a few flower teas.

"Also, it seems that ninety percent of the tea produced in District 11 is green tea, and it is normal for Xiaolin to prefer green tea. ”

Thinking of the more green tea in the eleventh district, Bai Ye suddenly realized, but this is fine, after all, he himself prefers green tea.

"Hey, this is Longjing?"

In fact, Bai Ye is not very good at identifying tea, but he still recognizes one of these kinds of green tea, for no other reason, just because this tea is so famous.

"The shape is like a bird's tongue, flattened, the tea leaves are delicate, the strip is neat, the width is consistent, greenish-yellow, this is really Longjing, well, just use it." ”

After carefully looking at the tea leaves in this jar, Bai Ye was sure that he was not mistaken, and immediately decided to use this tea leaves.

"Tut-tut, Xiaolin is really extravagant, looking at the color of this tea it seems to be a relatively high-grade Longjing, hahaha, I have a good mouth today, you can taste the taste of this luxury." ”

This set of tea sets is placed below the tea leaves, the tea set is made of purple sand, and the tea set of purple sand is the best, which shows that Xiaolin seems to really like to drink tea.

Holding the tea set and tea leaves, Bai Ye walked aside to prepare to make tea.

However, this is not enough to have tea leaves and tea sets, tea and tea, tea and water are the focus, and good tea should be brewed with good water.

"Well, since the tea is a good Longjing, and the tea set is also the best purple sand tea set, then if the water for making tea is used tap water, it is really a bit cheap, no, I have to find some high-grade good water." ”

Tap water contains chlorine used for disinfection, etc., and tap water that stays in the water pipe for a long time also contains more iron, and the tea will be very bitter if you use tap water to make tea, generally speaking, the tap water used to make tea is best stored for a day, and then used to make tea after the magazine settles, but even so, the quality of the tea will not be very good, so Bai Ye does not want such a good tea to be spoiled by tap water.

Generally speaking, the best way to make tea is to use mountain spring water, mountain springs are clear and pollution-free, and contain a variety of minerals that are beneficial to the human body, using mountain spring water to make tea can make the color, flavor and shape of tea get the greatest play, and in addition to mountain spring water, the pollution-free river and lake water in the inaccessible mountains and forests is also used to make tea The best water source, in addition to these two, well water is also a good choice.

In addition to these natural waters, there is also a kind of Tianluo water can also be used to make tea, and the so-called Tianluo water is actually rain and snow water to put it bluntly, but modern industry is developed, the ancients like to use rain and snow water to make tea, it is said that the taste is not bad, but that is ancient, modern times, because of the developed industry, air pollution eyes, pollution-free rain and snow water that is even rarer than mountain spring water.

The most common and easiest water to obtain in modern times is undoubtedly mineral water, which is artificially made of relatively pure water, and a lot of minerals are added to it, which is considered to be synthetic mountain spring water, and the higher the quality of mineral water, the more suitable for making tea.

Bai Ye looked at the kitchen, and in the corner he saw a box of mineral water, the brand he didn't recognize, but judging from the packaging, it seemed to be a more high-grade kind, probably this is the water that Xiaolin usually uses to make tea.

"Well, do you use this mineral water, I always feel a little unwilling. ”

Bai Ye is a little entangled, in fact, the river water in this wild forest is the kind of pollution-free, and the effect of taking it to make tea should be much better than using mineral water, but the nearest river is also not a short distance from this camp, and it is really inconvenient to take water deliberately.

"Alas, if only there was mountain spring water. ”

After hesitating, Bai Ye finally didn't bother to go all the way to fetch river water, which was too much of a waste of time, so he reached for the mineral water in the corner, but then he was suddenly stunned.

"Hey, wait, it looks like I really have mountain spring water. ”

Thinking of something in his bag, Bai Ye's eyes lit up.

took out his backpack and opened it, only to see that there were two gourds in the bag, one purple and one orange, the two most valuable things on the white night, the lake of time and space and the ranch gourd, two eight-star artifacts.

Bai Ye picked up the orange pasture gourd, and then with a thought, a stream of water flowed out of the gourd.

"Sure enough, it's a high-quality mountain spring. ”

Carefully looked at the water quality, Bai Ye was overjoyed, this ranch gourd has a mountain forest inside, although now because Bai Ye has no other things in this except a few insects, so it seems a little dead, but this mountain and water itself is a good thing, absolutely pollution-free, this water flow is the authentic mountain spring water that Bai Ye took back from a mountain in the gourd.

"Hahaha, this way the materials are complete. ”

The water problem has also been solved, and this time it is finally possible to officially make tea.

Pour the mountain spring water taken out of the gourd into the kettle and boil, wait for the time to boil, and rinse the tea set in the night.

Washing tea sets should be washed with hot water, this step is called the hot pot, a very important part when making tea, one is that hot water can remove the peculiar smell of the teapot well, and the other can also increase the temperature of the teapot, so that the temperature in the pot is more stable when making tea, which can better play the tea aroma, and at the same time make the tea in the pot become less easy to cool.

In addition to the teapot to be hot, the cup of tea also needs to be hot, this is called a warm cup, and the effect is similar to that of a hot pot.

Once you're done warming the kettle, wipe the teapot and cups dry, and it's time to make tea.

Bai Ye carefully took out the tea leaves from the tea can, and gently poured them into the teapot, the amount of tea is also particular, generally speaking, the ratio of tea and water is one to fifty, of course, this is not fixed, it needs to be different from person to person, just like this time Bai Ye's tea is brewed for Altoria and the three foreigners to drink, although Britain also drinks tea, but there is black tea, green tea they may not be able to drink habitually, so Bai Ye this time the amount of tea is not too much.

The tea leaves are put away, and the water in the kettle on the other side has almost boiled, although the water has not yet boiled completely, but the water temperature is actually just right, and it is a mistake to go higher.

Longjing belongs to the kind of tea that is not fermented, the tea itself is relatively tender, if you use 100 degrees Celsius boiling water to brew, the high temperature will destroy some nutrients in the tea, and at the same time, it will also make the color of the brewed tea easy to turn yellow, and the taste will be very bitter.

Therefore, this kind of water that is slightly boiling and the water temperature is about 80 degrees is the most suitable for making tea.

Pick up the kettle, Bai Ye began to pour water into the teapot, when making tea, pay attention to high lifting and low pouring, the so-called high lifting is to pour hot water into the teapot when the kettle is to be raised, the hot water forms a column of water into the teapot, so that the tea leaves are tumbling in the teapot, so that the tea leaves are in full contact with the hot water, so that the aroma of the tea is easier to release.

Bai Ye's hand lifting the kettle is lifted up and down, making the water column also go up and down, this technique looks much more beautiful than the fixed holding the kettle without moving, and this technique is what Bai Ye learned from the tea shop owner in his previous life, and has a very nice name, called Phoenix Three Nodding.

In fact, this technique should not be used when making tea alone in the kitchen, but should be used in front of the guests, the phoenix three nods up and down three times, as if nodding to the guests, can also be understood as three bows, including both respect for the guests, but also for the respect for the tea.

But even at this time, only Bai Ye was alone in the kitchen, but he still used the technique of the phoenix three nods, first, whether the guests could see it or not, it was good to have the mind, and secondly, the water column was lifted three times, and the height was different three times, and the thickness of the water column changed to make the tumbling of the tea leaves in the teapot more durable, so that the tea fragrance could be attractive.

"Well, done. ”

Putting down the kettle and looking at the pot of tea, Bai Ye nodded with satisfaction.

At this point, the morning tea is considered to be successfully completed, and then it is time to taste.

Several kinds of food and tea were placed on the tray, and Bai Ye walked forward with the tray.
