Chapter 749: Tea Fight
Youwang was stunned, nodded and said, "What Gu Guogong said is that I am in love." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info please! ”
The two of them first cleaned their hands, and then sat down separately.
At this time, the tea supervisor walked up to the two and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
"That's it!"
"White crane bathing!"
With the shouts of the tea supervisors, Li Shouli and Wang Shunkai began to wash the cups with boiling water.
"White crane bathing!" Li Longji said with a smile: "Wash a cup, and give it such an elegant name, this is also Bao'er's masterpiece!" ”
Xue Chongjian nodded.
"Oolong enters the palace!" The tea supervisor shouted again.
I saw Li Shouli and Wang Shunkai pouring their respective tea leaves into the cups.
"Your Majesty...... Shisanlang, do you know how to judge the quality of tea? Xue Chongjian asked in a low voice.
Li Longji shook his head, he really didn't know.
"The criterion for winning or losing a tea fight is the color of the soup and the other is the soup flower."
"What is soup?" Li Longji was very curious.
Xue Chongjian said: "The color of the soup refers to the picking skills of the tea, and the tea soup is pure white, indicating that the tea is fat and tender when it is picked, and the production is just right; The color is greenish, indicating that the heat is insufficient when steaming; The color is gray, indicating that the heat has passed when steaming; The color is yellow, indicating that the harvest is not timely; The color is red, which is baked over the heat. ”
Li Longji didn't expect that there were so many famous halls here, and he suddenly became interested: "What do you say about this soup flower?" ”
"After the soup flowers are flooded, the water marks appear sooner or later, the early one is negative, and the late one wins. If the tea powder is ground delicately, the soup is ordered and whisked just right, and the soup flowers are evenly fine, you can bite the edge of the cup tightly and gather for a long time. This has the best effect, and it is called 'biting the cup'. On the contrary, the soup flowers are overflowing, and they cannot be bitten, and they will spread out quickly. As soon as the soup flowers disperse, the place where the soup meets the bowl will reveal 'water marks'. ”
Li Longji couldn't stop nodding.
"Hanging pot high charge!"
As the tea supervisor shouted, Li Shouli and Wang Shunkai slowly rushed the boiling water into the cup along the rim of the cup.
"The spring breeze is blowing!"
The two of them gently scraped off the foam with the lid of the cup.
Li Longji couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Bao'er really has two hits, and she has made so many famous names. ”
Xue Chongjian asked again: "Thirteen Lang, do you know that in addition to the tea itself, water quality and heat, you must also master the brewing skills. ”
"This boiling water is also particular?" Li Longji felt that he was a little lonely.
"Exactly! The degree of boiling of water is the key to the success or failure of tea fighting. Boiling tea pays attention to three boiling waters, one boiling 'boiling like a fish's eyes, with a slight sound', two boiling 'edges like springs and beads', and three boiling 'waves and drum waves'. The water is boiled just three times when the tea is cooked, and the water is not edible when it is boiled again. ”
"Dreaming of Fang!"
Covered with half a column of incense, the two people on the field opened the lid of the cup and smelled the fragrance.
"Han Shin Point Soldiers"
The two of them poured the tea into smaller cups, and the waiter served the tea to everyone sitting at the table. Li Longji is still drinking this tea for the first time, the soup is green, the taste is sweet and fresh, the taste is fragrant, it swirls in the mouth, precipitates on the tip of the tongue, the bitterness and fragrance are like the taste of the world, there is an unprecedented feeling.
After everyone in the field tasted three teas, the winner was finally decided, and Li Shouli, the king of You, was slightly better than the prince of Guguo.
As soon as the results were announced, the audience was immediately sensational, and the praise rang out.
Wang Shunkai was quite self-contained, and he said to Li Shouli: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Youwang for winning a 100,000 bonus!" ”
Li Shouli replied: "Gu Guogong, you and I fight tea, just to enjoy the fun, not for the bonus, if you think so, then you will be inferior." ”
Li Longji did not pay attention to Li Shouli and Wang Shunkai in the field, but set his eyes on Zhang Baoer.
I only heard Zhang Bao'er smile and ask Li Chengqi on the side: "His Royal Highness King Ning, how about the batch of 'chewing incense' I gave you this time?" ”
"Yes, the things of the Cen family are really good, remember to send me some next time!" King Ning was very satisfied.
Li Longji asked Xue Chongjian softly, "What's going on with this 'mouthpiece'?" ”
Xue Chongjian said: "Dingguo referendum Ning Wang favored, so that the Cen firm made the 'chewing incense' thing, it is said to be made of agarwood and musk mixture, every time King Ning talks with the guests, he will always chew a piece in advance, so as to clean the mouth and fresh the breath, so every time he speaks, the aroma is overflowing, the room is full of fragrance, quite the style of Wei and Jin celebrities." ”
Li Longji was completely speechless.
"I also have it here, do you want to try it?" Xue Chongjian handed over a piece of "chewing incense".
Li Longji tasted it, nodded and said, "It's really good." ”
"His Royal Highness King Qi!" Zhang Bao'er's voice came again.
Li Fan, the king of Qi, was the younger brother of Li Longji, who was good at calligraphy, worked in poetry, and often drank poetry with a group of literati.
Xue Chongjian took the initiative to introduce to Li Longji: "His Royal Highness King Qi listened to the advice of Dingguo Gong, and hung crystal clear jade pieces in the bamboo forest of the palace. The last time Dingguo Gong gave King Qi Yu'an, it was a rare treasure. It is said that when you take it out and enjoy it in winter, no matter how cold and cold the weather is, you will feel warm and comfortable when you sit on it. ”
After hearing this, Li Longji said to Xue Chongjian: "Okay, let's go!" ”
On the way, Li Longji asked, "Chongjian, why don't you participate in this tea fight?" ”
Xue Chongjian smiled: "This bucket of tea is not my strong point. ”
"What's your strength?"
"Fighting crickets!"
"Fighting crickets? Why haven't I heard of it? Li Longji said strangely.
Xue Chongjian said with a smile: "Every few days, Dingguo Gong will organize the activities of the Fenghua Society, such as pounding pills, juju, throwing pots, fighting crickets, cockfighting, juggling, listening to music, circus, storytelling and many other new things, everyone is full of interest!" ”
Li Longji seemed to understand a little, why King Ning and King Zhao would rather be fined money than be expelled from the Fenghua Society.
Li Longji suddenly asked, "Chongjian, when can you fight crickets?" ”
"The day after tomorrow is a cockfight, and five days later there will be a cricket fight." Xue Chong replied briefly.
"There will be cockfights the day after tomorrow?" Li Longji's eyes lit up.
"Exactly!"
"Chongjian, the day after tomorrow, I will go to see the cockfight with you, and it will be the same as today, don't reveal my whereabouts."
After that, Li Longji waved his hand to Gao Lishi: "Go!" Back to the palace! ”
Watching Li Longji leave, Xue Chongjian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
……
"What do you think, sir?" Zhang Bao'er asked Wei Xianyun with a smile.
Li Longji thought that his whereabouts were secretive, but he didn't know that his every move had already fallen in Zhang Bao'er's eyes, and he told Wei Xianyun about Li Longji's change of appearance and going to Fenghua Club today.
Wei Xianyun said with a smile: "It seems that Your Majesty can't hold his breath, but he still doesn't feel at ease with you, let him watch it for a few more days, Bao'er, don't demolish him first." ”
