Chapter 67: Tea Tasting
The old turtle seemed to notice that Foolish was talking to someone, and he didn't pay attention to himself, so he climbed down the bluestone lightly.
"The aroma of this cloud tea you brought today is mellow, and I think that the old turtle must love ......" said in the mouth of the fool, and calmly reached out to get the old turtle that was about to climb out of the bluestone, held it in front of his eyes, frowned and said to it seriously:
"Old turtle, this Cuiding cloud tea is aged in the clouds and mist, irrigated with winter snow melt water, and the tea soup is golden and bright, and the aroma is sweet. If you eat more, you will be able to endow yourself with wonderful fragrances and prolong your life......"
As he spoke, he generously leaned a handful of tea leaves in his palm towards it. The old turtle kicked on all fours, twisting his head and refusing to give in. In the end, he simply shrank his body, and the whole group entered the shell, no matter how he coaxed it, he didn't come out again.
Jin Yi stepped forward and gave an idea to Obscure with a smile, "Why don't you cast a turtle pond for it, pour the decoction of tea soup into it, let it live in it, and after a long time, it can also be dyed with the fragrance of tea." ”
Sima Yulou turned his head and glared at her, with a bit of disdain on his face, "The annual output of this tea may not be able to fill a turtle pond." Your method is too damned. ”
Obscure was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of such a good way?" ”
Only then did he find that Jin Yi was standing next to him, and he stood up hurriedly, his expression was a little cramped, his hand swept a few times on the monk's robe, and he saluted her with a solemn expression, and sang a Buddha name, "...... The poor monk is stupid and has seen a female benefactor. ”
After saying this, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and only pulled Sima Yulou, "Do you still have that tea?" How about a few more cans for me? ”
Sima Yulou shook off his hand angrily, "This tea is only a dozen taels a year when it is paid tribute to the palace, and you still want to use it to raise turtles?" You're really willing. ”
Jin Yi saw the lost expression on his face, and wanted to laugh again, "You don't need to use such rare tea, even these grown in your garden can also be used." The prepared tea leaves do not contain water, and turtles do not like to eat them. If you pick some fresh tea branches to feed it, most of them will be willing to eat it. ”
Hearing Jin Yi speak, Obscure turned his head sideways to avoid her, but his ears were open to listen. He thought for a moment, shook his head and said to himself, "...... The aroma of these tea leaves is so ordinary that even if you eat it, you can't have a peculiar aroma......"
Sima Yulou was speechless, he really deserved to be a tea idiot, he used tea to feed the turtle, and he had to pick three or four. "Go make us some tea to eat." He sneered for a moment, and his tone was casual, as if he was ordering his subordinates.
Foolish was not annoyed, put aside his heart, and happily led the two to his tea room.
The tea room is neat and clean, with some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the lower corner is left with the seal of a famous artist. In the middle of the painting, it is a dragon flying phoenix dancing "tea" word, it is actually the handwriting of calligrapher Wang Xi.
The scholarly and elegant people in Jianye City do not want to be able to drink the tea made by the monk himself as a show off, and look at the calligraphy and painting on the wall to know that although the appearance is ugly and the temperament is eccentric, it is highly respected by the literati and scholars.
Jin Yi looked at his hands carefully, his ten fingers were slender and white as jade, which was extremely inconsistent with his somewhat sloppy appearance. He sat cross-legged in front of the desk, preparing equipment, selecting water, and making fire, and his technique was familiar and smooth, as if playing a natural sound, which was faintly ******** charm.
He is treacherous in the appearance of ordinary people, and at this moment, because of his concentration in Ningshen, he shows a faint light of treasure, which makes people can't help but have a beautiful sigh in their minds, which is very mysterious.
Sima Yulou tilted his head slightly and smiled at her knowingly. Jin Yi didn't speak, but gently bowed her head in admiration.
Waiting for the soup, learning the tea, Obscure slowly poured the tea soup into the two ancient yellow point rhino buckets, gently raised his hand, and motioned for the two to taste tea. There was a hint of solemn majesty in his demeanor.
Jin Yi nodded to show respect, raised his hand to hold the bucket in his hand, the blue cloud-like mist soared on the bucket surface, lingering, the tea soup was clear and clear, the essence floated on the surface, the aroma was condensed, from the tip of the nose to the heart, only to feel the ethereal in the heart, and the worries were gone.
Take a sip gently, the tea will instantly hit the whole body, and the sweet breath between the mouthpieces seems to make the pores of the whole body open and extremely comfortable.
Sima Yulou didn't care about the aftertaste as much as her, but just drank the tea in the bucket casually, "This tea is cooked by you, and the taste is indeed a little unusual." Foolish, don't take this tea to feed the turtle again, otherwise you will want my good tea in the future, but there will be no more. ”
Jin Yi was immersed in the subtle artistic conception of the fragrance of tea, and was interrupted by him, and was a little stunned, looking at Sima Yulou and smiling comfortably, shaking his head helplessly, and sighing regret in his heart.
After three rounds of tea, Sima Yulou stood up, only arched his hand towards Obscurity, pulled Jin Yi and went out again.
Jin Yi walked out of the tea room with him, and then he came back to his senses a little, and nodded again and again, "The tea monk really lives up to his reputation." When he looked down and saw that the old turtle was crawling leisurely under his feet, he turned around in a hurry and fled slowly to the other side.
Unconsciously laughed dumbly, turned his head and asked Sima Yulou, "When will you leave Beijing?" ”
Just heard him say that he was going to leave for a few days, and Jin Yi was a little reluctant in his heart.
Sima Yulou heard the attachment in her tone, and couldn't help but smile with some satisfaction, "I've seen the Lantern Festival with you on the Shangyuan Festival, and I'll go again." ”
The Shangyuan Festival in Beijing is the most lively, the curfew is lifted in the city, and young men and women can go out freely this night, go to the street to watch the lanterns and enjoy the flowers, and play and play.
Jin Yi yearned in her heart and nodded happily. I felt a little rude, how could I go to the street with him, so I shook my head in disappointment.
A strand of weak hair fell from her ear, Sima Yulou couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke it, his fingertips touched her crystal moist earlobe, and a strong urge to embrace her suddenly surged in his heart.
He put his hand down, took two steps away from her unnaturally, pressed his restless heart, and said, "That night, both men and women in the city can travel, you and Jinxuan and them come out together, and I will go to you." ”
Jin Yi was suddenly touched by his hand, and he felt that his earlobes and entire cheeks were hot and about to burn.
The two walked outside the temple, both silent.
Jin Ru was worshipping in the Buddha hall, Jin Xuan stood alone in front of the hall, turned his head to see the two of them coming from behind the temple, and greeted him with a smile, "Where have you two gone?" ”
"Take her to the back to find Foolish for a cup of tea." Sima Yulou replied.
Jinru came out and shouted after listening to it, "Looking for a tea monk to eat tea, he won't take me with him." ”
A few people walked around the temple for a while, and when it was getting late, they went out of the temple and went down the mountain.
Walking along the mountain road, Jin Xuan and Sima Yulou were in front, and Jin Ru whispered beside Jin Yi: "I also said that you two have nothing to do with each other." Sister, I see that my cousin cares about you very much. ”
Jin Yi blushed, just walked with her head down, without saying a word.
Jinru was a little excited, walking happily on the stone steps.
At the foot of the mountain, the wine led the horse out of the woods. Sima Yu walked upstairs like snow like the wind and said goodbye to Jinxuan, "You accompany their car and walk slowly, I'll go back first." ”
Jin Xuan agreed. Sima Yulou turned his head and glanced at Jin Yi deeply, and left on his horse.
