The beautiful young woman turned around and smiled apologetically at the guest to show that the other party was waiting. Then he turned his mind to the copper kettle. When the water in the pot is a little louder, remove the lid and use another silver spoon to skim off the fine foam on the water surface. Then, cover the copper kettle again.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled like falling beads. The beautiful young woman lifted the lid of the pot again, but this time she did not skim the water, but scooped out two large spoons of boiling water with a large copper spoon and poured them into the magnetic bowl prepared in advance. Immediately, a bamboo tong was gently stirred in the water, and while stirring, a silver spoon was used to scoop some tea powder as fine as broken rice from another azure porcelain bottle, and slowly put it into the boiling water.

At this time, the felt bag was already full of tea fragrance, and there was no need to drink it, and it was already drunk. The two girls had never seen anyone deal with a pot of tea so patiently, their eyes widened, and their small mouths opened in a semicircle.

For the amazement of teenagers and girls, the beautiful woman is unaware. Stirring the tea wholeheartedly, when the tea "soaring waves", he stopped stirring, added the two large spoons of water scooped out before, covered the lid of the copper kettle, and turned the charcoal fire weak, so as to raise the taste of tea.

When the water in the pot made a faint bubble sound again, the young woman slowly got up, lifted the copper kettle, poured most of it into the fine magnetic pot in front of each guest, and then poured half of it for herself, gently put the copper kettle down, and raised it between her eyebrows to invite.

Needless to say, the four teenagers returned at the same time. Boiling tea in this way is no longer the effect of quenching thirst. Except for Xu Dayan, a wealthy child who has been cultivated by the family as a hope since childhood, the other three people just mechanically raised the lamp with the woman's action of tasting tea and inviting tea, and straightened their waists with the woman's movement, only feeling that each of the other party's movements implied rhythm, and the beauty was like expressing their arms in the wind, and they had forgotten what it was like to taste the tea in their mouths!

The girl in the blue shirt is okay, she usually admires the young woman very much, and no matter what noble and charming behavior the other party makes, she thinks it should be. The girl in the yellow shirt was both envious and admired in her heart, and there was a faint feeling of jealousy. She has been taken care of by the other party since she was a child, and two or three years ago, she also worshiped Aunt Qing like her sister. When he was a little older and understood some things in the world, he slowly began to be indignant for his biological mother.

There are few men in the tribes, so men can marry several wives at the same time. As the head of a clan, his father could not have a group of wives and concubines like a Turkic prince, and there were more than ten wives behind him. Among the many wives, including the mother of two young girls, they are either older or younger than Aunt Qing, but no one is favored by Aunt Qing.

The woman in the yellow shirt usually only thinks that the Han woman is different from the grassland woman, and the blooming time is late, so her face is retained for a long time. Today, I watched the tea art that I had never seen before, and I only felt that if I was a man, I must take Aunt Qing in my arms and protect her, and I didn't dare to let her be wronged. As a woman, I still have this idea in my heart, let alone my father, a hero on the grassland.

Therefore, the woman in the yellow shirt secretly swore that in the future, she must learn this set of tea-making actions from Aunt Qing. In this way, after marrying the patriarch of a neighboring tribe, no matter how old he is in the future, no one will be able to snatch his husband from his hands.

"This woman will never be born in the dust! No Qinglou can cultivate this kind of temperament! Peeking at the distraught appearance of several companions, Xu Dayan secretly sighed in his heart. After the Two Jin Dynasty, the Han family traveled to the south in good clothes, taking with them a large amount of wealth in the north, and at the same time swept the books, music, etiquette and customs accumulated over hundreds of years since the Qin and Han dynasties to the south. The two Jin Shi clans pay the most attention to freedom and ease, and the way of drinking tea has long been formed with the condensation of the giant family, and a complete set of procedures and actions have long been formed. The beautiful young woman is treated with the gift of making tea by herself according to the hospitality of the Han people. What is shown to everyone is only the last process, and there are four processes in front of it: baking, colding, pounding, and sifting are not shown. If you have done a full set of work and replaced the copper kettle with a white pottery pot, it is estimated that everyone will not take a look at the milk tea boiled in the big copper kettle again in half a month, even if the copper kettle is the most expensive tea cake.

But the woman's demonstration of the tea ceremony in front of everyone was not for show, but because she had been influenced by it since she was a child, and thought that these were the etiquette that should be used to entertain distinguished guests. Therefore, no matter what she does, bystanders such as Li Xu, E Ru, and Tao Kuo Tuosi feel cordial and natural. And looking at Xu Dayan's eyes, he was even more firm in his speculation.

The copper kettle was not big, and in a moment, a pot of water was finished. The woman surnamed Chen said a few modest words, which meant that she was not well prepared, and she did not mean to snub the distant guests. And where could Xu and Li, who had been treated with such courtesy, still have half a sense of blame, and thanked them again and again, until their arms began to be sore, and they were thanked.

The blue-shirted girl changed her usual urgency, and made an exception and did not urge Aunt Qing to measure the clothes for herself and her sister as soon as possible. It wasn't until the beautiful woman removed the tea set and took the ruler and string that she woke up like a dream and asked Li Xu in a low voice: "You, do you Central Plains people drink tea like this on weekdays?" It's so beautiful, it's like dancing, and you can get hooked up before you know it! ”

"Ping, I don't usually drink tea. Only, I just like to drink! Li Xu began to stutter again. He wanted to tell the truth that it was the first time he had drunk tea like this, and he was afraid that it would make Mrs. Beauty feel disgraced. I had to give the girl a plausible answer.

The beautiful woman's behavior made Li Xu feel a little ashamed of himself, feeling that he was also a Han person, and he was like a stubborn iron compared to a woman. As everyone knows, the royal family of the Great Sui Dynasty has Xianbei blood, and the behavior from the king to the courtiers tends to be rough and heroic. This kind of way of drinking tea from wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River is not only uncommon in the homes of the people in the north, but even if it is placed in the homes of Yang Su, Yu Wenhua and these ministers, it may not be able to be so elegant and beautiful.

"Yes, I forgot you're an alcoholic!" The blue-shirted girl said loudly. Li Xu's feat of cooking several bags of mare's milk wine in one night has long been spread throughout the tribe, and almost everyone knows that the young man in the Central Plains who has wolves as his company has a superior amount of alcohol, even the strongest hunter in the tribe can't compare to him in terms of drinking.

Li Xu smiled and didn't dare to respond. Falling drunk after being amazed that night was the most embarrassing thing in his life. Especially when a young girl falls asleep and runs away, every time I think about it, I feel ashamed.

Losing the limelight in front of others, finding someone weaker than themselves is a common psychology of girls. The blue-shirted girl didn't realize that she was bullying, frowned slightly, and continued to taunt: "I can't walk after drinking, and my body is heavier than a dead camel!" ”

Li Xu's face was red again, and at this time, he realized that it was the girl who helped him back to the tent that day. In this way, wouldn't your behavior that night be even more excessive? According to the details found from Zhang San and others in the past few days, if the Hu women get into your tent at night, and you don't do anything, they will not only blame you, but will also show respect to you. But whether the deserted and escaped can win respect, no one has done this in the past, so Zhang Laosan and others don't know.

"Wine is the companion of heroes, and it is good to be able to drink. If the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest didn't have wine, they wouldn't have written such a wonderful article! The beautiful woman smiled and opened her mouth to relieve Li Xu.

Who are the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, the girl in the blue shirt doesn't know. Seeing Aunt Qing speaking for Li Xu, she decided that the seven sages were all great heroes among the Han people. glared at him fiercely, no longer looking for fault.

The beautiful young woman has been through all the ups and downs, and she has seen the thoughts of these young people very thoroughly. smiled kindly, and asked Li Xu and Xu Dayan to sit quietly for a while. Then he dragged the two girls to another tent next to them to measure the size of their clothes. After a while, the three women walked back with a smile and a smile, as close to each other as siblings.

Xu Dayan and Li Xu went out to carry Shu brocade into the felt bag and cut six pieces according to the young woman's instructions. The three women each had two pieces, and none of them was less than the others. When the two girls began to pay the bill with the silver bell, Aunt Qing's eyes widened in surprise, and she involuntarily asked, "Is Shu Jin very expensive in the Central Plains?" Under the rule of the Great Sui Dynasty, he was so tired? ”

"No, it's not very expensive!" Li Xu was ashamed like a thief who was caught red-handed. His original intention was to give half price to the three women. Before the words could be spoken, they were blocked back by two girls. Now that I have the silver bell in my hand, it is too late to change the price.

"Ha, it turns out that you are in a strange place!" The blue-shirted girl finally used a Central Plains idiom correctly, glared at Li Xu and shouted: "Aunt Qing also said that you are a decent gentleman, it turns out that you are only honest on the surface." Say, did you earn us twice or triple the benefits? Have you always planned to make money like this? ”

Not only Li Xu, but Xu Dayan's face was also red to his heels. Taking advantage of the fact that the people did not know the price of Shu brocade to exchange money, this idea was completely from his own hands. According to the comparison of silver and copper coins in the Central Plains, the profit of Shu brocade sold by him and Li Xu was more than ten times. The girl took the triple price hiker as the villain, if she knew that the two people in front of her had made so much money, wouldn't she pinch Li Xu to death on the spot?

Xu took a step forward with a red face, and just wanted to stand up and take all the mistakes on one person, but saw that Aunt Qing lightly nodded the forehead of the blue-shirted girl, and said with a smile: "They came from thousands of miles, one?" It must be difficult and dangerous. Sensei said that he earned twice as much, that is, he earned ten times, and it was also the income that people deserved. If you don't make money doing business, what do people still do in our tribe? ”

Hearing this, the two teenagers breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been amnestied, and cast their grateful eyes on Aunt Qing. The beautiful young woman smiled apologetically at them, as if admitting that she had caused them trouble by talking too much. Then he opened a small cabinet in the felt bag, untied several silver bells one by one, and paid the cost of Shu brocade at the same price as the girl.

"No, not so much?" Li Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said sincerely. People are content, and although they have suffered some hardships for the first time, the harvest is more than ten times that of expectations. This result was already very satisfying to him, and he didn't want to give the impression of insatiable greed to the women in front of him.

"Take it, if you don't need money, who would run so far when winter comes?" Aunt Qing said very reasonably, looked at Li Xuhong's face, smiled, and began to whisper a few words of comfort, "Doing business is not as good as studying, and you can't be hard-hearted." Looking at you like this, it must be the first time to run a business. Slowly get used to it, just get used to it! ”

"Hmm!" Li Xu nodded lightly. Although there was not much contact, the woman in front of him made him feel very close to him like an elder in the family. Thinking that I still have to stay in the Kabu for a while, I have the opportunity to return this favor. So he smiled gratefully at the woman, and carefully put the silver bell into the purse at his waist.

With Shu brocade, the girl's mind immediately focused on the clothes. Seeing that it was already dark, Xu and Li hurriedly got up and said goodbye. The beautiful young woman did not leave the two of them to sit for a long time, and with a young girl in one hand, she got up and sent out of the tent.

"It's rare for people from the Central Plains to come to our tribe, and today I have spoken my hometown dialect for a while, and my heart is very comfortable!" Before parting, the young woman looked at the dome sky above her and said softly.

"If Aunt Qing likes it, tomorrow they will collect the stall, and I will bring them to drink tea, okay?" The girl in the yellow shirt knew the taste of the marrow, and asked in a somewhat pleading tone.

"They will collect the stall tomorrow, they should sort out their packing back to the Central Plains!" Aunt Qing thought about it and looked at Xu and Li with inquiring eyes.

"If the patriarch allows, we may stay in the tribe for the winter!" Li Xu replied honestly. If he has the opportunity, he is willing to do something within his power to make the other party happy for the young woman in front of him. In order to relieve herself several times today, and to appreciate the charm of drinking tea again.

"Li Xu, you, do you really want to stay?" The blue-shirted girl was the first to jump up, pulled Li Xu's arm and asked. This Han family is greedy and shy. But according to the explanation given by Aunt Qing, he did everything for a reason. Including sneaking away that night, in Aunt Qing's mouth, it was all an act that only a gentleman in the Central Plains would do.
