Chapter 896: Cold in the Well
Shang Liujia put the empty teacup aside and said, "Okay, then I'll talk about it." ā
Tang Chengnian and the three of them also put down the teacup like him, anyway, the teacup was empty, and it looked strange in his hand.
However, Miss Wang also did an extra procedure, which was to help everyone clean the teacups and then fill them with water.
This is used to moisten their throats later, and by the way, the taste of the previous tea is cleared, so as not to affect the taste of the following tea.
This kind of procedure is as rigorous as tasting dishes, Tang Chengnian has only heard of it before, and he has only found it when he tried it himself, which is quite interesting. Although, after a while, she won't think like this, but now, Tang Chengnian still finds it quite interesting, and it is also quite pleasant.
He reached into the jar containing the plum petals, took out a petal, and chewed it carefully.
After tasting it, Shang Liujia said: "Actually, I have also tasted dim sum made with plum blossom petals before, although it also has a sweet taste, but I can taste that the taste definitely does not belong to plum blossoms, but is made of sugar, which is unique to ordinary sugar. Therefore, I guess the plum blossom petals outside may not taste the same as here, the plum blossom petals here are not only plum blossom aroma and light bitterness, but a little sweet and sour. ā
After saying this, Shang Liujia seemed to feel a little incredible.
But he glanced at Miss Wang and knew that he was not wrong, it seemed that the plum blossoms planted on this mountain were different from those outside.
Sure enough, Miss Wang quickly nodded, and said proudly: "That's right, the plum blossoms here have bloomed many times, and I have used special cultivation methods, all of which are secret books handed down from ancient times." Perhaps because the feng shui on this mountain is good, when improving each plant, it is quite smooth. ā
"I see, then I can understand." Shang Liujia nodded.
He did think that there was something wrong with his taste buds, and he deliberately took a plum blossom petal to try, only to understand that it was not his taste buds that were wrong, but that the plum blossom petals here did have an unusual taste. Of course, it is still a "plum blossom" in itself, and although it adds sweetness and sourness and reduces bitterness, it is not twisted into other flavors, and it is closer to plum than apple and orange.
"As for the ...... of this fruit," Shang Liujia pointed to the dried plum fruit, "they come from the same source and have similar tastes, so they are soaked in the tea, which gives this flower tea the same sweet and sour taste, and besides, apart from the plum blossom petals, the dried plum fruit, and Yu Luochun, nothing else is added here, so the taste seems close and natural, and their flavors have been very gently connected together, with a faint fragrance of plums." The most important thing is that although the aroma of Yuluochun has not been stripped away, it has not been taken away, but it is indeed a cup of plum tea, and it can be said to be plum tea or plum tea. ā
"Why don't you call it plum blossom tea? When the time comes, those who drink it will be surprised and wonder what the taste of the dried plum fruit is. Miss Wang showed a rare playful smile, and she liked to use this ingenious method to tease those who were good at tea, of course, without malice.
Tang Chengnian stroked his palms and laughed, agreeing very much.
She wasn't concerned about whether she understood tea, but she thought it would be fun to play like this.
"So, I'll just go ahead and make the next one?" Miss Wang looked at Shang Liujia, she was very grateful for Shang Liujia's evaluation, if he still had something to say, she would definitely be willing to listen, but this time Shang Liujia shook his head, what he was going to say had already been finished, naturally he didn't need to add anything, just thinking about the taste of the plum blossom petals was already very draining on his mind.
There are many cups of flower tea to try, so naturally you shouldn't spend all your time here.
Although the plum blossom tea at the beginning had several twists and turns, the final result was very good.
However, the next tea brewing did not go very well, and Miss Wang tried several combinations, but they all failed.
As for Tang Chengnian, she has already left behind the fun that sprouted not long ago.
No matter how interesting things are, if they are done mechanically, they will make people feel disgusted, no matter how much they liked them before.
She could barely drink anymore, and she always felt ...... Ah, bitter, sour, too sweet...... Probably so.
And I have to rinse my mouth, use water to constantly gurgle the feeling, do it a few more times, inevitably feel that the muscles in my mouth are about to be numb, do this once or twice and feel quite professional, come a few more times, it is purely for the sake of face, the mood is mostly out of - everyone is like this, I have to continue to hold on, but I don't know that everyone is this idea, at least, there are more than half of them.
Miss Wang is not tired.
She studied the brewing of those teas, the soaking of flower petals, the cultivation of plants, and so on...... , neither tired nor lonely. Miss Wang grew up in a place where only she lived with her mother and a large group of servants. Her mother forbade her to be close to her servants, nor was she herself close, and in her little world, only the occasional cousin could bring her some warmth. This is the original plot, and Miss Wang naturally continues this setting in this novel, but here, as a supporting role, she also got the opportunity to see her cousin's true face in advance.
However, in this world, she has only crossed paths with one man, her cousin, so after being heartbroken, she came here alone to live in seclusion, and then met Ella. Her mother really likes her to keep her distance from people, so she only sends someone to help her design Lin Yuan and run errands for her to protect her, in addition, her mother is different from the one in the original book, giving her great freedom.
Because of this, Miss Wang did this, although she was repeatedly defeated, but because she succeeded in a plum blossom tea, she is still full of hope, and it seems that sooner or later she will be rewarded again.
The last kind of flower tea failed again, and Miss Wang indifferently changed the tea bowl again, clear water.
This time the water she used was new again.
"This is well water, which is very cool, and uses ice jade to maintain the temperature." Miss Wang took out a light blue jar from the Sumeru bag, and there was a faint cold air floating on the jar. In the cold air package, there is a faint sound of water flowing, and this jar is obviously not a hole. Come to think of it, it was also Miss Wang's mother who found it for her, and it is not something that a mortal can do to find such a precious thing and bring it back.
Miss Wang was very entangled: "I think it's good that the well water is cold, but if I put it in a tea bowl and boil it, I'm afraid it won't continue to maintain such a temperature, so it makes no sense to choose this well water." It's a little sweet, but it's not like rock sugar, it's a little sweet, and I think it should be sour. So I'm going to use these two ......"
She ordered two jars for Tang Chengnian and Shang Liujia to see.
As for Ella, she recognized every jar on the stone table.
"This is the strawberry flower, this is the strawberry pulp, it was brought from Ella and their Furui Town, I tried it in the mountains, I can feed it, and then I don't have to go to Furui Town." Miss Wang explained the origin of the strawberry.
After all, the only acquaintances in Fury Town are Ella's abusive stepmother and her two half-sisters.
Ella doesn't need to, and doesn't want to see them all the time.
"Strawberries?" Tang Chengnian was very surprised, he really didn't expect to hear this name in such an antique scene.
Strawberries used to be called "foreign berries", which shows that they are foreign.
However, if you think about it carefully, in this world, the East and the West are parallel, but the continents are different and have different forces against each other, and a typical Western beauty like Ella is now sitting in front of them calmly? Shang Liujia was obviously not surprised, he had traveled to so many places, and he was used to seeing such a type of beauty.
Shang Liujia saw that she was puzzled, thinking that she had not heard of strawberries.
After all, the situation on the Yunze Continent is special, although it is not completely devoid of communication, but the isolation of each is also slightly stricter.
"Sweet, with a bit of sourness, I think you'd like this more than a plum." He built yƬ.
Tang Chengnian nodded and said with a smile: "I know, it's just that I will see it here by accident." ā
"Oh, by the way, can I try the strawberry taste?" Shang Liujia looked at Miss Wang and asked.
With the experience of plum blossom petals just now, he suspected that the things here were different from the taste outside, so he naturally wanted to try them first.
"Okay." Miss Wang nodded generously.
When tasting in Shang Liujia, Tang Chengnian looked at the jar containing strawberry flowers.
She did know strawberries, but it was the first time she saw strawberry flowers, and she really didn't expect that strawberries were so red, but the strawberry flowers were snow-white, and only a few petals were occasionally dyed with a hint of light red in white.
"It's beautiful." She sighed.
At this time, Shang Liujia had already finished eating strawberries, and sure enough, as he thought, the strawberries here were different from the outside.
The strawberries on the outside are sweet and sour, mainly sweet, but there is also a bit of sourness; But the strawberries here are extremely red and ripe, and he had this idea just now when he looked at the color, and now he has tried the taste himself, and sure enough.
"This strawberry is sweeter." He said vaguely, anyway, he just needs to make Miss Wang aware of it.
Miss Wang nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. ā
The well water is sweet and the strawberries are extremely sweet, and the two may collide.
Among the several flower teas I tried just now, there was a situation where it was too sweet and disgusted to the taste.
Miss Wang pointed to the jar containing the petals of the strawberry flower and smiled, "You can try this." ā
Shang Liujia twisted a piece, tasted it, and nodded silently.
The petals of this strawberry flower are a little sour, but the sour taste is the most suitable for sweetness. The strawberries and the well water are both sweet, and if you use strawberry flowers to match them, it is indeed appropriate.
But Miss Wang quickly smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's a pity that there is still a small problem here that has not been solved." āR1152
