Two girls with common hobbies got together, and it became an endless chatter, hearing the sound of chirping downstairs, Bai Xia also shook his head helplessly, silently took some tea, and warmed the pot of hot water for his own amusement.

The tea culture of European and American countries refers to the development and continuation of tea culture on the European continent, which has the meaning of a light meal in the afternoon, and the tea drinking emphasizes efficiency and convenience, and does not want to waste time and action for brewing tea leaves and pouring tea residues.

In the West, the first tea was introduced from China to Russia, and from China through the Mongolian steppe to Russia, there was a "tea road". The Russians invented the "samovar" for boiling tea, similar to a small boiler, generally made of copper, with a charcoal fire in the middle, a teapot for boiling tea on the top, and a faucet below, and the boiled strong tea is diluted with water from the faucet, and it is drunk with sugar and lemon juice, that is, lemon tea. Hot tea is readily available and is a must-have for families in the cold Russian climate. Nowadays, it is generally heated with electricity, and it is also made of stainless steel. Because it is very popular, it can be designed and manufactured into various decorative patterns, and it is a more conspicuous piece of furniture in Russian homes.

France was also one of the earliest European countries to come into contact with tea, as early as 1636, the first tea arrived in Paris, France, which was 22 years before the earliest contact with tea in England. But for a long time, per capita tea consumption in France was much lower than in the UK. In recent decades, a tea culture craze has quietly emerged in France, and tea consumption has continued to grow. At present, France is the fourth largest tea drinker in Europe, and its per capita tea consumption is second only to Ireland and the United Kingdom, and almost the same as Germany. However, less attention has been paid to French tea culture in the academic community. At present, the author has not retrieved any treatises that systematically discuss French tea culture. This paper makes a preliminary investigation on the evolution of French tea culture, aiming to attract the attention of the academic community to the study of French tea culture. If there are any deficiencies, please correct them.

Tea was seen as an aristocratic drink in the early days, and was largely only popular among the upper echelons of society such as the court and nobility. In the eyes of ordinary French people, tea has even become a symbol of the French royal family. The French upper class regarded Chinese tea as an aristocratic drink, and cultured people drank tea together, often discussed the brand quality of tea, and often conveyed tea information from China, and they always tried to search for a mysterious cultural sign from the tea itself.

French tea is generally sweetened with milk and sometimes sugar. But more often than not, it is added to orange slices, jasmine, etc. to make the so-called Earl Grey black tea, jasmine black tea, jam black tea, bee black tea, etc. Tea can be drunk at any time of the day. Morning tea when you wake up in the morning and before you get out of bed or at breakfast; Around 11 a.m., there is a 15-minute "tea break" to drink "morning tea"; Afternoon tea is held during a tea break at 4~5 p.m., which is also about 15 minutes. Refreshments are generally ready-made foods, including bread, butter, jams, pastries, and biscuits. A variety of pastries are more popular than bread, such as scones, muffins, tea snacks, and toast slices, to name a few. Tea is available in hotels, teahouses or snack bars, restaurants, and fast food restaurants in town.

Bai Xia first took the utensils and then set them up. Measure the tea into a cup. Equivalent to the amount of tea after entering the cup. Then pour into boiling water, high-grade black tea to choose a white porcelain cup is appropriate, in order to see its color. Flush until it is full for eight minutes, smell its fragrance first, and then observe the color of the black tea, and when the tea soup is hot and cold, you can raise a glass to taste.

When drinking high-grade black tea, if there is leisure and elegance, tea drinkers need to work the words, sip slowly, savor carefully, and taste the mellow taste of black tea in the slow observation and appreciation, understand the true interest of drinking black tea, and obtain spiritual sublimation.

took a sip lightly, and there were a few footsteps downstairs, I was afraid that Sikong Yao and Yao Xiaoyu had already become them, so I went upstairs.

In an instant, the aroma of tea and the fragrance of baked snacks blended together, and there was an intoxicating and wonderful aroma that greeted you, which made people feel comfortable.

First of all, a little salty and fragrant taste is strong and rich, Bai Xia knew that Yao Xiaoyu took the material from the cheese in the cellar and made a marble cheesecake, this cheesecake is based on sponge cake, pie crust, etc., and the processed cheese mixture is poured into it, and it is baked and decorated.

This cake is as smooth and delicate as tender tofu, mellow and pleasant, and has a unique flavor, and the baked cake cannot be directly demolded or upside down, and needs to be refrigerated before taking it out and eating. The other type is the use of coagulants to coagulate cream cheese or whipped cream, which is then combined with biscuits or the above traditional cakes, which do not need to be oven-baked and can be eaten after refrigeration and curdling. The cheesecake is slightly harder than other cakes, and depending on the cheese used and the specific method, the appearance and taste of the cheesecake can vary a lot. Some cheesecakes are dense, some are fluffy, some are made with gelatin powder, some are made with egg yolk or egg whites after a little treatment, etc., in short, this cake has a variety of methods, flavors, and colors are more bright and attractive.

Yao Xiaoyu shared: "To make the surface of the cake show a beautiful baking color, when the surface is baked until the surface is dry and elastic, when the surface has not yet been colored, turn off the heat, raise the baking tray close to the heat, turn on the oven temperature to a maximum of 250°C, and bake for 5 minutes to make the surface have this burnt yellow baking color." ”

Cheesecake with black tea has always been the best choice for afternoon tea, even if you drink it in the evening, it will make people feel a strong sense of comfort, salty cheese with soft cake, light like clouds, people can't help but take one bite after another.

Yao Xiaoyu's works are simple but very intriguing, without too many eye-catching gimmicks, but they are also very likable, but Sikong Yao's desserts are incomprehensible to Bai Xia, a sweet taste that has never been seen lingers, which is really unpredictable.

Bai Xia asked, "Xiao Yao, what are you doing?" ”

Sikong Yao saw that Bai Xia and Yao Xiaoyu were looking forward to it, and said very playfully: "Hehe, you have never eaten this dessert, cherry blossom jelly!" ”

Lifting the lid, Sikong Yao appeared a mysterious cherry blossom jelly, which immediately attracted the attention of Bai Xia and Yao Xiaoyu, who fell deep into the cherry blossom-like dream, with the clarity and delicacy of a cherry blossom petal, the crystal clear appearance, people can't help but want to take a bite, very romantic and elegant, just like a cute and naughty and sweet girl.

Sikong Yao originally thought that this cherry blossom jelly would definitely scare the two, but Bai Xia suddenly burst out laughing, and even Yao Xiaoyu's expression couldn't help but laugh, Sikong Yao was confused by these two people, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What are you laughing at? ”

Bai Xia sighed and said: "I made some amazing dessert for you, and said that we have never seen each other, it turned out to be this, have you seen the original predecessors of the battlefield of Renqian Flavor House?" ”

Sikong Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You don't want to say that you will do this too......

Yao Xiaoyu burst into tears with laughter, and explained: "The amber jade that Bai Xia recently developed is based on cherry blossom jelly. ”

Sikong Yao was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said with a sense of resentment: "What, the formula I worked so hard to learn, I didn't expect to be preempted by you again!" ”

Bai Xia couldn't help laughing, and after holding back a smile, he explained: "I can't say that, my amber jade is actually based on Shuixin Xuan Cake, and there are still some differences from cherry blossom jelly, but the teacher comes from the origin, you cherry blossom jelly, you can't fool me." ”

Sikong Yao sighed helplessly, although she also knew that Bai Xia was comforting her, she still felt a little unhappy, how could this Bai Xia always seem to be ahead of others, it was really infuriating.

Bai Xia comforted again: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, although I know this cherry blossom jelly, but I haven't got the recipe, so this is a novel dessert, so I'll reluctantly make it unpalatable." ”

Sikong Yao patted Bai Xia's hand and said unhappily: "I won't give it to you!" ”

Bai Xia smiled: "If you don't eat it, forget it, Xiaoyu, you do me a favor and help me take out the egg cake in that closet." ”

Yao Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Even you installed an oven on the second floor, my God, when did you make the cake?" ”

The egg custard taken out of the closet is as firm and cute as a soufflé, and it is very cute when placed in a small cup, and girls are almost defenseless to it.

Bai Xia smiled and said: "This is not difficult, only four ingredients are used: eggs, milk, flour and sugar, try it." ”

Yao Xiaoyu took three more spoons, one for each person, and then took the lead in starting, this egg cake is like nothing, almost no weight can be felt on the spoon, if it is not for the eyes to see the truth, but also mistakenly think that it is just air, light and delicate, melt in the mouth, the thick egg fragrance instantly blooms on the taste buds, amazing.

Yao Xiaoyu was surprised: "Is this really only using eggs and milk?" ”

Bai Xia smiled and said, "Did you taste something else?" ”

Yao Xiaoyu frowned, not knowing how to respond to Bai Xia's question, this egg cake obviously only has eggs and milk, but it gives people an irresistible deep taste impact, as if thousands of ingredients are intertwined and blended together, but it only reflects two flavors, Bai Xia's dessert skills are profound, it is really shocking.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yao Xiaoyu said humbly: "It's me who lost, you guy is really getting more and more perverted, and I won't dare to compete with you in the future." ”

Bai Xia glanced at Sikong Yao again, and said, "Eat it, it's not poisonous, so that you can know how big the gap is between us, and you have to work harder, haha." (To be continued......)
