Chapter Twenty-Four: Drinking Tea is Deep

Kung Fu tea is exquisite, and it takes a lot of steps to brew and drink, and if you want to drink a cup of kung fu tea, you have to work hard!

In ancient times, kung fu tea first had to burn incense and calm down, and there were many complicated customs, but such a complete kung fu tea process can only be seen in high-end teahouses or clubs.

The water used by the Song family to make tea is collected from the spring water on the mountain on the outskirts of the city, and the mountain spring is put into the kind of plastic bucket used in the water dispenser, and after paying for it, naturally someone will send a bucket every day. There is no need to plug in the water dispenser upside down, a simple water absorption device, plug it directly, press the plastic water pump on the top, squeeze out the air in the water pump, and under the impetus of atmospheric pressure, the mountain spring will flow out of the water outlet.

Yang Guo filled half a pot of mountain spring water and boiled it in an induction cooker. Half a pot sounds a bit petty, but in fact, this stainless steel kettle is really a bit big, and half a pot is enough.

Without waiting for the water to boil, hearing the sound of the water rolling in the pot becoming smaller, Yang Guo lifted it up, picked up the purple clay pot and purple sand cup with special tweezers in turn, rinsed it, and then put the kettle back to continue boiling.

"You are just like Lao Song, you have to toss so much to drink tea, in my opinion, you can't just soak it in a big tea jar and drink it." Liu Suqin watched from the sidelines, she didn't like so much red tape, and the unrestrained Song Zhiwen just followed her character.

In the teapot, Yang Guo poured the tea leaves into it and stuffed most of the teapot. When the water boiled, when the bubbles that had surged to the surface of the water at the bottom of the water were connected into a string, Yang Guo turned off the induction cooker, lifted the kettle, and poured boiling water along the edge of the kettle. The first tea was not drunk, Yang Guo poured it into a fair cup, and then poured boiling water the second time. Cover the pot with the lid and pour boiling water on the body of the pot, this step can make the tea leaves in the teapot more flavorful.

The first pass of tea in a fair cup can be used to rinse the cup again. After pouring out the waste tea, Yang Guo added a strainer to the fair cup. The thumb, index finger and middle finger three fingers pinched the appearance of the dried purple clay pot, poured all the brewed tea into the fair cup, with the spout of the tea foam was blocked by the strainer, and when the strainer was removed, the rest is clear and yellowed tea soup.

Yang Guo poured a cup first and brought it to Liu Suqin with a small cushion.

"Godmother, you drink tea."

Liu Suqin picked up the teacup and covered her left hand underneath to prevent the hot water from dripping onto Qiqi, so she drank it all while it was hot.

"Well, that's good." But she can't say what is good.

Yang Guo filled her up, and then poured herself a glass. Hold it up, sniff it in front of your nose, then take a sip and drink it all in one gulp. The tea leaves placed in the dining room of the Song family are not top-notch, but they are also very good Quanzhou Tieguanyin, which smells fragrant and fragrant, and has a faint bitter taste at first. The second time the taste of the tea is the most fragrant and strong, you have to drink it while it is hot, usually one cup per person, but today there are only two people to drink, and Yang Guo drank the remaining cups one after another.

Drinking tea slowly, Liu Suqin also started a family routine with Yang Guo.

"I heard Zhiwen say, you quit your job now?" Liu Suqin asked.

"Well, yes, Kiki can't do without me now, she refuses to drink milk when I'm not around, and she doesn't stop crying. You know about my job, I have to work overtime, and recently my manager wanted me to go on a business trip to England. It's better to just resign, and don't delay. Yang Guo said.

"Alas, the delay is on you!" Liu Suqin sighed, "You did a good job, it's a pity not to do it." ”

"Isn't this about taking care of her? It's a pity to talk about something. Yang Guo said with a smile.

"You discussed it with me before, let me bring it for you, and you can pick it up when you come back from work, wouldn't it be good?"

"I tried it before, but at noon the neighbor made a phone call, and Kiki summoned me back again, and the main thing was that Kiki was seriously ill that night, and I felt that this was not the way, so I had to come."

"You said it lightly, if you don't work anymore, how can you have the money to take care of children? I'll settle an account with you, buy her diapers and buy milk powder, to say the least, it will be as fast as 1,000 yuan a month. When I grow up, I have to buy a bunch of nutritious products such as cod liver oil and calcium powder, which will cost at least three or four hundred yuan a month. When you buy clothes, you estimate that it will cost you an average of three or four hundred a month. There are also physical examinations, vaccinations, and usually a child who has a minor illness or something, it also costs money. Now you don't prepare 3,000 yuan a month, it's not enough for her to spend! It's still easy now, but what about when she grows up? When you go to kindergarten and elementary school, you have to throw tens of thousands of dollars into it. Liu Suqin snapped her fingers and said to Yang Guo.

Yang Guo was said to be sweating profusely.

"So, what you think about now is light, with your little savings, you can't afford to raise a child at all!" Liu Suqin concluded.

At length, Liu Suqin's mouth was dry, and she drank the tea in the cup in one sip, and Yang Guo hurriedly poured it for her.

"Godmother, it's not like I haven't thought about it. But then I figured out that since I speak English, I can translate for someone! Before, I looked at a Xinda translation company, and if it did a good job, it could earn 300 yuan for translating 1,000 words. You can do it at home! I've tried, I can finish a thousand words in two hours, usually work hard, turn 5,000 words a day, and earn 30,000 yuan a month! ”

"Xinda, I've heard of a big company over there. It's good to earn 30,000 yuan, but don't you also say it's a good job? Liu Suqin said, "Don't look at me that I don't know English, it's the same in every line of society!" Only the best of the best make a lot of money. ”

"Yes, yes, godmother, you are right." Yang Guo said admiringly, "That's right, they do have gold medal translators there for this price, but I have been reviewing for the past few days, and when the review is good, I will go to test them as gold medal translators." I'm still confident in this, don't worry. ”

Liu Suqin sighed, she said: "You are also an adult, and your godmother won't help you make up your mind, just think about it yourself." If you can't do it, don't worry too much, when Qiqi grows up, I'll help you talk to Lao Song and help you introduce a job. ”

"Well, thank you, godmother." Although he has confidence in himself, he is still very grateful to the old lady for this heart.

"You didn't tell your mom about it?" Liu Suqin asked.

Yang Guo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I haven't told her yet, I'm afraid she knows about it." ”

"Look at what you kid said, what do you mean by worrying nonsense?" Liu Suqin pointed at him with her right hand and scolded, "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, who doesn't want their children to live better?" That's for your sake! ”

Yang Guo hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"It's not a problem if you don't tell your mother." Liu Suqin shook her head.

Although Yang Guo admitted his mistake, he still insisted on saying: "I really can't let her know now, I quit my job now, if she knows, she will definitely be worried and can't sleep." It's better to wait until I make money and the conditions are better, and then tell my family. ”

Liu Suqin couldn't stand him, and she didn't talk about this topic anymore.

"Yesterday Zhiwen went to your house, and I heard him say that you fell out of love?" Liu Suqin asked.

"Well, I broke up with my girlfriend." When Yang Guo said this, his face was light and light, as if he was talking about other people's gossip.

"Because of Kiki?"

"No, it's mainly because of the mismatch of personality." Yang Guo lied, he didn't know why, and he was a little resistant to others saying that Lu Yunran left him at such a difficult time as himself. Probably because she doesn't want others to think that she is a heartless person......

Liu Suqin is a person who has lived for so many years, and she can't understand Yang Guo's careful thoughts, but she doesn't understand it. She comforted Yang Guo: "Don't worry too much, the eldest husband has no wife, wait for a few days, and my godmother will introduce you to a few." ”

Yang Guo was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he quickly put down the teacup, quickly shook his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Godmother, you don't have to worry about this, I'm not old, so I'm not in a hurry to get married." ”

What he doesn't like the most is a blind date, two men and women who don't know each other come to a café, pretend to put on a score, intrigue to test each other, and do everything possible to find out if the other party has a house and a car.

"You don't understand, now your daughter is young, and you are not very old, it is easier to find a suitable one, and when you are older, others see that you are still dragging a daughter a few years old, and it will be difficult to do it at that time." Liu Suqin persuaded him.

Yang Guo's scalp was numb when he heard it, he had long heard Song Zhiwen say that he liked to be a matchmaker for others, and he wanted to introduce objects to the lonely young people in the community every day, but now he really saw it. He hurriedly prevaricated with a procrastination: "Don't worry, I just broke up now, and I'm not in the mood to start a new relationship." ”

As soon as Yang Guo said this, Liu Suqin didn't want to persuade him anymore, but said that she would help pay attention to whether there was a suitable girl. Yang Guo saw that he had dealt with the past, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, let's talk about it later!

Yang Guo was about to go out to buy vegetables, but Liu Suqin stopped him and said that there was everything in the refrigerator, so there was no need to go out to buy it.

The Song family's refrigerator is the kind of large refrigerator with double doors, and when you open it, you can see that it is full of fruits and vegetables. Mackerel, sea bass, shrimp, pork belly, beef, ribs and half a chicken are in the freezer, and all kinds of vegetables and fruits are in the freezer, which is almost half the market crammed.

Yang Guo looked at it and smacked his tongue, he had never seen so many dishes before. Liu Suqin explained that those seafood were sent from the county and city by a relative yesterday, and the other dishes were bought by the nanny in the morning and prepared for a few days. It's really better to come early than to come by chance, Yang Guo is in a hurry today. He took out the dish he was going to make tonight from the freezer and put it in the freezer to thaw it a little.

While talking, Qiqi woke up, and Yang Guo wanted to go up and hug her, but Liu Suqin pushed him away and said, "It's okay, let me try." ”

Qiqi just woke up, her eyes were a little open, she squinted and closed, she seemed to feel a body temperature that was not familiar to her father, and began to hum and twist in Liu Suqin's arms. Liu Suqin hugged and coaxed in a circle, Qiqi suddenly caught a glimpse of her father, and then quieted down, but as Liu Suqin turned in a circle, she kept twisting her head to look in the direction of Yang Guo.

Yang Guo said to Liu Suqin funny: "Godmother, don't turn around, Qiqi is about to be stunned by you." ”

Liu Suqin saw that Qiqi was very obedient in her arms, and her heart was open, she kissed Qiqi's little hand with a smile, and said to Yang Guo: "Look, Qiqi and I are very close." ”

Yang Guo didn't expose it, the old man felt happy, he took out Qiqi's milk powder and bottle from his backpack, and went to make milk powder for Qiqi. Kung Fu tea is exquisite, and it takes a lot of steps to brew and drink, and if you want to drink a cup of kung fu tea, you have to work hard!

In ancient times, kung fu tea first had to burn incense and calm down, and there were many complicated customs, but such a complete kung fu tea process can only be seen in high-end teahouses or clubs.
