022 Tea
Xu Promise sneered in her heart, disdainful of Xu Erniang's actions, but she also had to think about why she misled herself, and what was the purpose of doing so?
I learned the tea ceremony for the first time, and I will not be able to steal the limelight from her when I fight tea, and I will not please my grandparents at home, and even because I have lived outside for many years, no one will come to propose marriage, no matter which aspect will not threaten Erniang.
Could it be that he was upset about Xu Qian's grounding?
As soon as the idea came up, the promise was immediately vetoed, Xu Erniang is not the kind of person who will fight for others, and adding fuel to the fire is her style.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Promise understood Xu Erniang's intentions, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
If she listened to Xu Erniang's words, she did not ask Ye Niangzi, but did not know how to ask, and she was smart to reduce the strength of the blow, and finally ordered the tea soup that was not tolerable, and wasted the good tea in vain. Ye Niangzi will definitely not like it after seeing it.
Ye Niangzi was originally prejudiced against herself, and if she was disliked again, I was afraid that she would have to learn the tea ceremony or something.
Sure enough, it added fuel to the fire!
Xu Erniang couldn't tolerate herself like this!
In the interval between the breaks, several handmaidens came in, knelt down and filled their lady's soup bottle with spring water, and added charcoal to the stove.
In the second half of the class, Ye Niangzi talked about the "Book of Tea" for a while, and asked Xu Erniang, Xu Sanniang, and Xu Wuniang a few questions each, but did not ask Xu Promise.
Xu Erniang answered very comprehensively, and even answered things other than Ye Niangzi's question. Xu Sanniang didn't answer a question, Xu Wuniang stumbled in answering, but she answered all correctly.
After the three of them sat down, they all turned their heads to look at Xu Promise, especially Xu Erniang, and the ridicule in their eyes couldn't be stopped.
Promise sat with his eyes and nose and nose intent, as if he was completely unaware that he was being ignored. She didn't care about these, firstly, she was much older than them, and secondly, she came to the tearoom just to learn something, so that she was qualified to participate in the tea fight, at least not to lose the face of her father and mother.
What's more, the questions asked by Ye Niangzi are not difficult, she can answer them.
After all, she has listened to the theory of the tea ceremony for 20 years, and she has already been ripe.
After talking about the "Book of Tea", Ye Niangzi washed her hands and burned incense, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please carefully observe my movements when ordering tea, and I will directly divide the tea later." "Dividing tea is also called tea play.
Xu Wuniang snorted lightly: "Directly divide the tea, can I watch it beside you?" After speaking, she found that she was out of shape and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Ye Niangzi was not angry, and said softly: "Don't make a fuss, several ladies will come up when the tea is divided." ”
She wears a narrow gown, which is convenient when ordering tea. Take out the phoenix ball from the tea cage and roast it on the stove for a while, let it cool and put it in the tea mortar to mash it, and then put the tea pieces into the tea mill and crush it quickly. Immediately after that, the soup bottle filled with spring water was placed on the stove, and the crushed tea powder was put into the tea mill and ground twice, and then the tea powder was put into the tea Luo to sieve out the fine powder.
Finely grinded.
Xu Yu couldn't help but admire Ye Niangzi's skillful and elegant movements, remembering that her grandmother once said that you must be quick when crushing tea cakes, otherwise it will affect the freshness of the tea powder, and then affect the taste of the tea. When the speed of grinding tea cakes is fast, the action is not good-looking, but Ye Niangzi can maintain the elegance of the action.
While Ye Niangzi sifted the tea, her ears moved slightly, and the water in the soup bottle was already boiling.
When ordering tea, soup is an important and difficult link, unripe will foam floating, overripe tea will sink, water decoction over the second boil, just to the third boiling is the most suitable for brewing tea.
Water can't be seen when it's boiling in a soup bottle, so listening to sounds and identifying water is an essential skill for tea people.
Sure enough, Ye Niangzi's eyes moved slightly, picked up the soup bottle through the tea towel, quickly warmed the cup, and rinsed the tea cup and tea pot.
Ye Niangzi moves extremely fast, but she is also very elegant.
At this time, Xu Erniang and Xu Sanniang stood up and sat respectfully beside Ye Niangzi, and Xu Wuniang also got up and walked towards Ye Niangzi and sat down quietly.
Seeing this, Xu Yu also stood up and sat next to Xu Wuniang.
Ye Niangzi picks up the tea powder with a teaspoon and puts it in the tea pot, and then pours a little boiling water around the tea powder, and uses bamboo to mix the tea powder into a paste. Then take the bamboo ce in one hand and quickly blow it, and hold the soup bottle in the other hand for the second water filling, and fill the water back and forth into a line, and stop the quick injection...... The sixth water filling is full of tea foam.
Xu Erniang praised on the side: "Ye Niangzi, good craftsmanship." ”
When ordering tea, you are not allowed to speak, Xu Sanniang pulled Xu Erniang's sleeve, Xu Erniang smiled and continued to watch, she just wanted to cheer.
The seventh water injection, between the bottle-mouth bamboo ce moving back and forth, the surface of the tea soup formed a landscape map, far mountains and near water, simple lines, outlining a beautiful scenery.
After reading it, I was amazed in my heart, the tea and milk ordered by Ye Niangzi were compatible, there was no sign of separation between the tea powder and the water, and the tea opera was also very exquisite.
Ye Niangzi put down the soup bottle and bamboo ce, then spoke, and said slowly: "Do you see it clearly? The amount of water injected into the fourth soup should be small, and the blow of the bamboo ce should be soothing. The fifth soup is determined by the state of the tea soup foam, and the weight of the blow is ......"
While explaining, Ye Niangzi scooped out the tea soup with a long-handled wooden spoon and poured it into four small tea cups.
The four of them thanked them first, and then took the teacup.
The fragrance is pleasant, and the aftertaste is mellow.
After drinking the tea soup, several people stared at the bottom of the tea cup to observe, and the tea soup was thick and sticky to the bottom of the bowl.
Biting the lamp!
Xu Erniang and the others were not surprised by this, but it was just to compliment Ye Niangzi that they were surprised and praised again and again, but Xu Niang was really surprised.
In the first half of the class, Mrs. Ye just ordered tea in front, did not divide the tea and make a hundred tea operas, and did not let a few people come forward to watch or taste tea. But now that I watched it up close, I drank the tea she ordered, and I promised that admiration rose in my heart, and I had the idea of worshipping Ye Niangzi as a teacher.
Ye Niangzi also drank one herself, and then said: "The four ladies can already make such a tea opera, and several ladies still need to practice diligently." Go down and practice, and I'll give you some pointers. ”
When it came to Xu Qian, several people had different expressions, Xu Erniang smiled on her face, but there was a look of disdain in her eyes. Xu Sanniang's eyes were gloomy, and she clutched her handkerchief tightly. Xu Wuniang was full of reverence and envy.
Xu Yuguang noticed the expressions of several people, and just smiled faintly.
Ye Niangzi stayed beside everyone for a while, speaking and guiding from time to time, and when she came to Xu Promise's side, Xu Promise was grinding tea cakes with tea.
Promise is a little stronger than an ordinary teenage woman, so the grinding is steady and fast, Ye Niangzi showed a satisfied look, and in an instant, she recovered as usual.
Xu Erniang felt that Ye Niangzi had been staying in the back for a longer time, and hesitated to turn her head, but saw that Ye Niangzi was looking intently at Xu Promise ordering tea, and Xu Promise was picking up the soup bottle and scalding it. She was secretly happy in her heart, and promised that she would be filled with water soon, if the blow was not done properly, Ye Niangzi would realize that she didn't understand the promise but didn't ask, and wasted the tea ball in vain, not really to learn the tea ceremony.
Until Ye Niangzi said: "That's all for today, you ladies still need to practice hard after they go back." Xu Erniang didn't wait for Xu to be punished.
Xu Promise sat in the back, saw Xu Erniang's hesitation and uneasiness clearly, and the corners of his mouth hooked, Since you can't tolerate me in your eyes, then I will return this bitter fruit to you.
