Chapter 846: Someone Wants to Die
I gracefully picked up the cup and placed it on my lips, trying not to let myself suck in the nasty way, even though the tea was slightly hot, and then put the cup on the table again.
I looked at Blake, and I said, "The British love tea, even to the point where they don't have tea at all." Unfortunately, the climate and environment of the island of Great Britain are really not suitable for the growth of tea trees. Throughout ancient history, you have relied on the long Tea Horse Trail to transport tea to England. Later, with the opening of sea routes, you can use ships to transport tea back to China. ”
"But at that time, because of the long period of shipments, it led to an increase in tea, and then there was a trade deficit. So......"
When I said this, I smiled helplessly and said: "The British played the image of a disgraceful thief......"
As I said this, I noticed that several people, including Rachel, except for Blake, had a hint of anger on their faces.
Angry!
When you are angry, prick up your ears and listen to what your ancestors have done.
"The East India Company sent a lot of British people to infiltrate Chinese mainland. In order to get closer to the people, they deliberately put on long robes and horse coats. Then they began to steal, collect, and collect tea seeds all over China. ”
"It's an unforgivable act of thieves."
"The British, in Wuyi Mountain, in Anxi, in Hangzhou, in one place after another, took advantage of the kindness of the locals and deceived them of the tea tree seeds in their hands. And then you take the seeds and take them to India. That is, your colonies at that time. ”
"In India, British botanists, after years of hard work, have finally developed tea varieties that can be cultivated over a large area. So, you no longer import tea from China. You go straight from your colony and back to you. ”
"But it's a pity that even if you love the texture and taste of tea, and use it to make one after another very delicious milk tea drinks, it is undeniable that the British have not learned Chinese tea."
Several people at the table were visibly angry.
Sir Black smiled and said, "There is no nation in the world that knows tea better than the English." ”
I laughed: "Wrong, what you love is taste, texture, these intuitive expressions, you can't understand, think." ”
"Thoughts?" Blake is funny.
With a wave of my hand, I pointed to the snacks and cups on the table and said, "Pots, cups, water, snacks, handkerchiefs, what else is there?" ”
Blake raised an eyebrow again: "Japanese tea ceremony? ”
I laughed: "Wrong, it's the Chinese tea ceremony." ”
Blake: "Funny, J, your words are sharp. But we really want to know what kind of idea the Chinese tea ceremony is. ”
I laughed: "The pot of the English aristocracy can't be brewed, the Chinese tea ceremony." ”
Blake haha: "I happen to have a collection of Chinese tea sets, Rachel, go get the Chinese tea sets in my study." ”
Not for a moment.
Tea set arrived.
When you put it in front of you, it is a set of Kung Fu tea sets from Ruyao.
Plus a sea of tea from Xiangfei bamboo
Things are also available, but they are missing, Chinese tea, Sri Lankan Ceylon tea can not make the meaning of Chinese tea.
Blake is a collector.
He actually took out a cake, the old tree Pu'er raw tea produced in the nineties in Xiaguan, Yunnan.
But Blake said that the taste of this tea is too strong, and some people are not used to drinking it.
Well, that's he won't drink. Different teas require different ways to drink them.
Before I taught Blake how to drink tea, I took a gaiwan, pointed to this and said, "Chinese tea set, do you know what it's called?" Its Chinese name is Sancai Cup, also known as Sancai Bowl. ”
"Sancai?" The onlookers, learning from me, uttered stiff Chinese pronunciation.
I picked up the lid of the bowl: "This is the sky." Then he sat down with his fingers: "This is the earth." I pointed to the cup in the center, and I said, "This is a man." ”
"The sky, the earth, and the human beings make up the pattern of this cup. Put tea leaves in it, flush it into boiling water, imply, everything is endless. ”
Blake excited: "GOOD! ”
As I spoke, I took the kettle of boiling water, made a piece of tea, threw it in, washed it, and poured it into the sea of tea.
When I was pouring, I deliberately slowed down.
Then I said, "The first time, the tea soup, you need to bring it and sacrifice it to the god of the tea tree." With this gratitude, he has given us such wonderful things. ”
Everyone was shocked.
Over and over again.
Brew twice.
I said: "A lot of tea, it is not suitable to use a pot, simmering, that way, too high a temperature will reduce the activity of the tea, at the same time, mask its original aroma, therefore, tea, brewing, best." ”
Out of the soup, put the cup, I put a few cups, divided them with a few people, waved my hand and said, "Please tea." ”
The crowd took it and drank it all.
After three seconds, it is all aftertaste......
I went on to say: "The Chinese feel about tea, taste, texture, aroma, pour second, and importantly, the deep meaning inside. It is to let the body and mind merge with the aroma and taste of tea, and then with the help of the mobilization of active substances, so as to stimulate more spiritual thinking. ”
"And this, let's call, sit and forget!"
I laughed again, and then in Chinese words: "A leisurely thought gives the body leisure, the reckless green field plucks the tip of the tea, the ingenuity and skillful hands gather a leaf, and the jade liquid is free and fairy." ”
I read Chinese, but Blake stared at me with a pair of wise eyes.
After a while, he suddenly said in a non-standard Chinese dialect: "J, Mr. Red, you are not looking for the wrong person, you are a wise man from the East!" ”
I nodded politely: "Sir, you're welcome." The ancient British culture is also very good. We need to learn from each other. ”
Blake nodded slightly.
I was a little curious that Blake could speak Chinese, so I asked him, "Sir, where did you learn Chinese?" ”
Blake: "Taiwan, when I was younger, I used to go to a university in Taiwan to be a teacher. I was there and learned the Chinese dialect. ”
Thousands of years ago, the Chinese used the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road to knock on the door to Europe.
Today, I also use a cup of tea.
Knocked on the door of Mr. Black's heart.
Next, while we drank tea, Blake introduced the new life in New York.
So far, it has been learned that two factions have just split within New Life.
As Red said, one proposition, continue to engage in illegal medical practice. The other advocates entering the mainstream medical and pharmaceutical fields, and then using it to gather a lot of money.
What is more interesting is that the leader of the radical faction is a Chinese in France, and his surname is Gu.
Mr. Gu, I have heard his name in Hong Kong.
Interesting!
Another advocate of conservative action was a leading member of the former Cross Order, named Nelson.
Nielsen has a lot of influence in New York. This has a lot to do with his beliefs.
He has a faith of his own.
Cult of the Sun and Moon!
Oh...... NO, sorry for the mistake.
This, as it should be, is the Sect of the Universe.
The United States allows anyone, to establish any religion. The premise is that as long as you have a core set of theories, as long as you have believers, as long as you don't violate the Constitution.
As you see fit!
Then, what this cosmic sect preaches is that the universe of this world is the only main god, and the galaxies are sub-gods and the like.
In short, it's similar to ancient Greek mythology, it's Zeus or something, a variant.
The point is, there are people who believe it, and there are many people who believe it!
What Blake means is that I'm going to win this Nelson over so that he can have a good talk with Blake. In addition, there is a key issue here.
Nelson, a patient!
I don't know what kind of disease it is, but what I know is that the leader of this god cult has been relying on a certain medicine produced by new life to maintain life.
Once the drug is discontinued.
He went to report to the god of the universe.
At the end of Blake's speech, he stretched out his hand and said, "I've come to New York to see how you're doing." Now, I understand. On the British side, I still have a lot of things to do. It's up to you and Rachel to do the work in New York. ”
I smiled at Rachel.
But the British tsundere girl obviously ignored me.
Yes, Blake knows Chinese culture well, and it is not for nothing that he knows what I speak in the vernacular. He can sort of get out of my bottom of me.
But Rachel is different.
Sister, I have never been in contact with Chinese.
The superiority of the bourgeois aristocracy was deeply ingrained.
Want to conquer her?
It's easy to capture meat, but it's hard to capture the heart!
It's true!
Blake gave a brief overview of the work schedule. Then he asked me again, "...... this kid?"
I pulled Luda over.
"Yoshiko! Godson! ”
Lu Luda, gritted his teeth, angry, hated!
In the end, he nodded aggrievedly.
In my heart, I smiled unkindly.
After afternoon tea, Blake said he was going to take an evening flight back to England. Then, he meant to let me live in this house with the little black boy.
Rachel doesn't think she's a girl, but she's the boss of the Cross Society in New York.
She could use all the power of New York.
As for the Black identity.
The old guy didn't say anything, only that he was an English gentleman living in an old castle.
All right!
Gentleman, don't send it slowly.
First she saw off Blake, then Rachel drove me and Luroda back to the hotel, picked up her luggage, and returned to her big mansion.
For dinner, I had the legendary British dark cuisine.
Domineering British chick, she can actually mix the ground meat with flour, then put down a few pieces of thick sliced salmon and send it to the oven to cook.
Dinner was awkward.
Luroda and I struggled to swallow Rachel's own dark treat.
Then, I asked Rachel, "Hey, this house, are you living alone?" ”
Rachel gave me a blank look. 、
After swallowing a large chunk of fish, she said, "A few friends, what?" Do you like to inquire about privacy? ”
I waved my hand.
At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang outside.
Rachel drops her things down and runs out.
After a while, I heard a loud conversation coming from the living room.
"What, he's going to kill himself? Oh my! What's going on. ”
"Think of a way, this ...... If you alarm the police, it's not good. ”
"Oh my God, let me think about it."
My heart moved.
Someone wants to die? Ouch, who is this, is it a husband in love, or is it a practice gone crazy?
Lu Luda looked up at this time: "J, believe it or not, if a person dies immediately, I can quickly take away his soul. ”
"Go to the side!" I glared at him.
I said, "We're doctors, and we have to find a way to make people die, that's the right thing." ”
