Chapter 138: Golden Needle Black Tea

Xia Qingyun turned his head, and a handsome woman wearing fox fur, skin like condensed fat, thin eyebrows and big eyes, holding a snow-white long-haired cat in her arms, walked into the pavilion with a smile, and sat down between the third princess and the eldest princess.

The woman's eyes fluttered, falling on Xia Qingyun, and she got up again and saluted: "This is the Taiping County Lord?" ”

Xia Qingyun hurriedly returned the salute, "Qingyun sees the county lord." ”

The county lord of Changping smiled gently, and was about to sit down, but the cat in his arms writhed uneasily, arched his back, and seemed to be very scared.

"What's wrong with this little thing, it's going to run away when it sees a living person." The county lord of Changping handed the cat to the maid behind him, and when he saw that Xia Qingyun was still standing, he sat down with a smile and said, "You and I are both county lords, so you don't have to be restrained, just treat it as if you were in your own home." ”

The eldest princess said: "Changping, you invited us to drink tea, but you set up such a table, it seems to be to eat wine." ”

The county lord of Changping covered his mouth and giggled, "Sister forgot, what I wrote on my post is a plum tea party, it's cold, eat a few glasses of wine to warm up your body, and then go to my plum garden to taste tea." ”

Speaking of this, she turned to Xia Qingyun again, "I heard that my sister is the owner of Qingyun Tea Garden, I can be regarded as the right person today, and my sister will perform tea art for us later, so that we can open our eyes." ”

Xia Qingyun smiled and bowed her head, and asked Xue'er to put the tea and tea utensils she was carrying on the table, "For the first time, I also prepared some light gifts, please taste them together." ”

The lord of Changping County clapped his hands, and the mermaids rushed up, serving steaming more than a dozen side dishes and a few pots of hot fruit wine.

There are drinks and food to occupy the mouth. The conversation of the guests at each table was suddenly lowered, and only the sound of a piece of chopsticks and cups and saucers could be heard. It is obvious that these people are eager to finish eating and disperse early.

The county lord of Changping didn't seem to care, and frequently raised his glass and toasted with everyone present.

Xia Qingyun secretly observed that the county lord of Changping was plump, lively, and spoke appropriately, and he didn't see any mental problems at all.

After three rounds of drinking, the county lord of Changping slapped again. Lang Sheng laughed: "There are many rare varieties in my plum garden. In previous years, it was only opened after the New Year, but this year it opened early, so please come and enjoy the plum blossoms, it is even more rare. There is also the visit of the lord of Taiping County. Let's go into the garden now. Is it good to enjoy plum blossoms and taste tea? ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and the lord of Changping County took the lead, and walked along the verandah to the plum garden.

The end of the verandah. There is a moon gate in connection, and the lintel is engraved with the word plum garden with a seal. Xia Qingyun secretly thought, from the entrance of the villa to this back garden, plum trees are planted everywhere, and they are very enthusiastic, enough for people to watch, I don't know what else there is in this plum garden.

Entering the garden, a burst of elegant plum fragrance came to her nose, she couldn't help but shine in the eyes, the plum garden is naturally also plum trees, but the varieties are different from other places.

There are more than 20 kinds of palace powder alone, in addition to the common faint halo and large feather, there are also rare varieties such as Yulu palace powder and green branch palace powder. The more you go inside, the rarer the varieties are, there are white as jade money green calyx, long stamen green calyx, as well as pink and white double petal jumping branches, small and delicate small plum Miliang, unique shape of Longyou plum, flower shape of jade butterfly plum, color delicate iron bone cinnabar and so on.

Just collecting so many varieties is amazing, and I don't know what method the lord of Changping used to make these different varieties of plum blossoms bloom almost at the same time. These plum blossoms alone made Xia Qingyun feel that the trip was worthwhile.

The plum garden covers a wide area, at least a thousand plum trees are planted, and when you walk a stick of incense, you only visit half of the garden. Xia Qingyun secretly praised the county lord of Changping for making a good arrangement, if he hadn't eaten a few glasses of hot wine in advance, these people would have been frozen to the point that their hands and feet would have been cold.

A tree of delicate plum blossoms also aroused the interest of the guests, from time to time there was the sound of poetry against the voice, if in the previous life, I am afraid that everyone has to take out their mobile phones, cameras click and take pictures non-stop.

There are also several pavilions built in the depths of the plum garden, and there are root tea tables produced by Qingyun Tea Garden in the pavilions, and the lord of Changping County invited Xia Qingyun to the tea table, and pressed her shoulder with a smile, "It's time for my sister to show her skills!" ”

The two were very close, and when the county lord of Changping raised his hand, the fox fur was also opened, revealing a pink-purple brocade jacket embroidered with plum blossoms, and the heat emitted from his body brought out a sweet and greasy fragrance of lily of the valley.

Xia Qingyun chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the eldest princess, the eldest princess and the concubine were playing with the county lord of Anping, and the family of three was happy and shared the joy of family.

She secretly laughed at herself and was suspicious, lily of the valley is not a very valuable spice, many daughters like it, and besides, during the banquet, the master of the horse took care of the eldest princess and the county lord of Anping, and was humble and polite to the county lord of Changping, and there was nothing to overstep.

Seeing Xia Qingyun making tea, everyone gathered around, Xia Qingyun picked a box of superb golden needle black tea, poured it on the tea lotus and invited everyone to appreciate it.

The reason why it is called golden needle black tea is because it is smoked with pine needles, pine needles are harvested from Tianyun Peak, which is a mutated golden pine needle affected by the golden ring, Black Star and Xue'er received the golden ring, and the pine needles in the future are restored to normal, so this batch of black tea is rare but not sought, and there is no more after drinking.

People who don't understand tea, when they see the black tea leaves, they all frown, I don't know what delicious tea soup can be brewed from this black tea leaves.

The tea leaves are put into the pot, the boiling water is high, and the cups of soup are red and attractive and the tea soup is presented in front of everyone.

The maid sent the tea cup to everyone, under a product, the aroma is high and long, with a faint aroma of pine smoke, the taste is sweet and mellow, there is a faint sweet fragrance of longan, a hot stream goes down the throat, the abdomen is warm and melting, so comfortable.

The snow scene, the fragrance of plums, and the black tea with the unique smell of pine smoke make everyone feel like they are in a fairyland.

"Good tea!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and everyone responded one after another, and came to the table, asking the name and price of the tea, and where to buy it.

Xia Qingyun smiled slightly, got up and said: "This tea is called Golden Needle Black Tea, which I made by accident, and the quantity is very small, so I didn't take it out for sale, only because the county lord of Changping invited me to bring it to you for tasting." ”

The county lord of Changping was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes were even more eager when he looked at Xia Qingyun. On weekdays, others look down on her and stay away from her, but the lord of Taiping is willing to take out the best tea from his collection, but it gives her a great face.

Since he brought it, Xia Qingyun was not stingy, he divided some of them, taught everyone to brew them on the tea table in other pavilions, and told them that although Jinzhen black tea is rare, other varieties of high-grade black tea can still be bought in the Qingyunxuan teahouse between the rivers. Black tea can be eaten and warmed up, and it is best to drink in winter, and it can also be flavored with milk sugar, the fragrance is not reduced, and it tastes unique.

The third princess originally brought some excellent tea leaves such as Baihao Silver Needle and Bitan Piaoxue, and wanted to show off at the tea party, but she didn't expect to be preempted by Xia Qingyun again, she gritted her teeth and whispered to the fourth princess: "You can't get rid of the copper smell of profiteers!" It's a shame to come here to sell her tea! (To be continued......)
