Text Season 5 Red Dust Old Things_Chapter 745 Tea Ceremony 2

And those noble children immediately saw themselves as saviors, since Richard took the lead, how could they let go of such a great opportunity!

"Since you are all going, then Xiao Lun and I will go and prepare first!Richard will take them to the fifth floor later!" the Duchess said with a slight smile after looking around.

"I know, Mother!" Richard hurriedly agreed. Lady Serena's tea banquet is set up in a large room on the fifth floor of the villa, and the environment here is elegant, like a bar surrounded by water! Standing outside the window, you can clearly see the night view of the old city of Edinburgh in the distance! The lights are dim and blurry, revealing from different directions, there are chairs, there are under the tables, there are floors, the beauty of this viewing room is vividly displayed. Coupled with the sparkling stars slanting down from the night sky, the two different landscapes converge into a brilliant spark.

"Everyone, please come in!" Under the leadership of Master Richard, everyone slowly walked into the room.

"Wow!" When Li Xiaoqiang just entered the door, he was stunned by the luxury in the room! What stunned him even more was Xiao Feixu, who was sitting in front of him.

I saw that in the center of this room, there was a couch with an arc shape like a banana! Not to mention the twenty or so of them, even half of them could sit down! In front of the sofa was a glass table with the same arc shape, and behind the table was also an arc-shaped sofa! Seeing these two furnishings, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel that this was clearly the shape of a Taiji diagram!

And Xiao Feixu, who came first, was sitting on the sofa at the moment. The ten fingers of his hands were crossed together, and his hands were stretched out, just the moment Li Xiaoqiang entered the door, he stretched his waist! Such a lazy action almost made Li Xiaoqiang squirt out of his nose with excitement!

Xiao Feixu's charm is absolutely rare in this world! Especially under such lighting effects, Xiao Feixu is like a fairy!

"Such a special and beautiful girl, no matter in any scene, can bring everyone a different new sensory experience!" This is the emotion that Li Xiaoqiang wants to express most in his heart at this moment!

"Uncle Pikaqiu, what are you still doing standing there, why don't you come and sit down!" After Xiao Feixu stretched his waist, he looked up and saw Li Xiaoqiang, who had been staring at him, and said. I don't know why, she was embarrassed by the bearded man in front of her for a while, and quickly patted the seat next to her and said.

"Oh my God......! Xiao Feisu actually invited me to sit next to her in front of so many people......! This happiness is simply too fast!" Hearing Xiao Feisu's greeting to him, Li Xiaoqiang was almost so excited that he didn't kneel down and kowtow to many gods and Buddhas in the sky on the spot! Xiao Feixu talked with him for a long time last night, and forget it, this is ...... Now I invite myself again...... Li Xiaoqiang's little heart at this time had already begun to beat wildly! If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in this room, Li Xiaoqiang didn't know if he couldn't help but unmask himself!

But the good luck ended here, just when Li Xiaoqiang had just reacted, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him! Richard quickly staggered past Li Xiaoqiang, turned around in a dashing way, and sat next to Xiao Feixin! After he sat down, he raised his eyebrows at Li Xiaoqiang with a smug expression!

"Huhu! I almost couldn't help but do it!" "Just now, Li Xiaoqiang thought that this was an attack, and he was about to turn around and do it! But fortunately, he held back, otherwise if he beat Xiao Feisu's brother violently, it would be troublesome!

"Brother Richard......! Why are you ...... this" Xiao Feixu asked with a strange expression. Then more than a dozen aristocratic young men walked in from outside the room one after another, because the places next to Xiao Feixu and the others were occupied by Richard and Scheffman, and the other people had to sit down in their positions!

The closest Xiao Feisu's position has been snatched up, Li Xiaoqiang had no choice but to walk to the edge of the couch and sit down! He looked at Mrs. Selina helplessly, he originally wanted to be alone with Xiao Feisu for a while, but who would have expected these people to change their minds temporarily! But this is okay, with so many people present, it is estimated that Mrs. Selina will not have a chance to talk to him about any tea ceremony, right? This is just enough to cover up the horse's feet of his own half bottle!

Mrs. Selina sat on the sofa opposite and fiddled with the tea set! The teapot is an electric stove, and it only needs to be plugged into the socket, but from the perspective of workmanship, even a layman like Li Xiaoqiang can see that it must be worth a lot. After all, they are a duke family, and any piece of furniture can be exchanged for a lot of income.

"Do you know? This tea is an invention of the Chinese in the East, but the first to bring tea to Europe was a Dutch merchant ship!" Mrs. Selina turned over the tea cup on the lid in front of her one by one, the porcelain was facing up, and some aromas began to slowly diffuse from the electric kettle.

"Because they were the first country to bring back tea, the Dutch had a bit of a head start in the tea ceremony! They combined the Oriental habit of drinking tea with black tea with sugar, milk or lemon! It made it rich in flavor but without losing its fragrance, which was really a good product! The Arabs living in the Netherlands loved to drink the sweet, strong mint green tea, and among the hundreds of Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh, the fragrant jasmine tea was more popular. ”

At this point, the Duchess couldn't help but pause slightly. A nobleman next to him who was eager to show off himself hurriedly said: "My father has a tea room specially for him, and his tea set, even if I admire it for a day, I can't read it!" After speaking, the face of this aristocratic young man was full of pride and pride!

"Come on, there are only teapots in your father's tea room, and those tea sets have never been unpacked at all, okay? Who doesn't know that your father, Count Emma, is a gentleman who wants to save face! Haha! How can your father be compared to a duchess!" a nobleman next to him immediately said with a sneering face.

"It turns out that the tea was passed on by the Dutch. I said why there are so many ways to drink tea in their country! I see, that's the reason! Today it is thanks to Madame Serena that we have popularized some knowledge, otherwise we would not know these basic knowledge!" Some other scheming nobles did not pay any attention to the two quick talkers, but pretended to listen to the Duchess very attentively!

In fact, as early as the early 17th century, Dutch merchants took advantage of the seafaring advantage to send tea from the Chinese port of Macao to Java and then to Europe. You may not know that when this tea first appeared, it caused a rush of buying in the entire market! Because of the business acumen of the Dutch, they strictly controlled the quantity of tea on the market every time, so that the supply exceeded demand! At one time, the price of tea was raised to a price comparable to gold, and ordinary families had no choice but to sigh at tea! As a result, tea became a luxury item for the court aristocracy, wealthy families, and families as a health and social etiquette. At that time, the aristocrats were proud to have a unique tea room, precious tea leaves and exquisite tea utensils at home. ”

A nobleman kept telling everything he knew! He believed that with his profound knowledge, he would definitely be able to impress Xiao Feisu and Lady Selena!

As expected, Xiao Feisu glanced at the aristocratic young man with a smile on his face! Just this smile made the surrounding noble children look envious and jealous! And that nobleman looked even more proud after getting Xiao Feisu's appreciation! He looked at Li Xiaoqiang defiantly, and also raised his eyebrows at him, as if he was announcing his victory!

"Cut! It's just a big fool!" Seeing that he didn't know when, he actually became the public enemy of these noble children, Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but curse in his heart!

"I think the tea ceremony is a reflection of personal cultivation, just like the book, our Great Eagle Empire always likes to mix black tea with milk! Hehe! The perfect blend of these two different cultures, the taste is amazing! By the way, I forgot to tell you. The tea leaves for today's banquet are the finest black tea imported from China, and the milk is the high-quality milk source from the Scottish pastures.

Li Xiaoqiang was simply flattered that Mrs. Selina looked up to him so much! He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reached out and took the cup of mixed tea! Now not only Mrs. Selina was staring at him, but even the noble children sitting around him were also looking straight at him! They were all waiting for this pickup autumn chef god, what would they say about this cup of tea?

Gently poured a small sip of tea into his mouth, Li Xiaoqiang put the teacup on the table with a bitter face! For the many aristocrats around him who were waiting for him to speak, Li Xiaoqiang felt a heartbeat in his heart! You must know that Li Xiaoqiang is a layman when it comes to tea tasting! Not to mention that there is also a lady Serena present, if he says the wrong thing, it will be terrible!
