Chapter Twenty-Eight: Boiling Tea
Everyone turned around and saw an old man in a red dress walking in, followed by the young lady of the Qian family who had left before, looking at Li Tianzhao's side a little shyly.
Huang Shi smiled with his beard, and his old friends were ecstatic when they saw each other.
There is still an age difference between the two.
Huang Shi is a few years away from this ancient rarity.
And Qian Dawei's age is only about half a hundred, and the two belong to the old friends, and they still cherish each other more after meeting.
"You kid, how did that thing go?"
"Brother Mo is going to torture my younger brother, since the war, my business is naturally broken, the grand cause in my heart is halfway dead, when I am old, it is time to think about Qingfu!"
"Don't mention it, I don't know what the old brother is doing when he comes to the cold house?"
The so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, Brother Huang Shi has not been here for more than ten years, and there must be something important to discuss this time, Qian Dawei guessed in his heart.
"Oh, by the way, it's the little girl that this son saved, the old man is polite, Xie Gongzi's life-saving grace to the little girl!" Qian Dawei bowed his hand to Li Tianzhao in front of him.
Li Tianzhao raised his eyes and looked at this old man with a slightly tyrant atmosphere, this Qian Dawei seemed to know his identity.
In the face of a junior, it is impossible to have such respect even if he saved his daughter, and listening to his tone is more intriguing, this person is estimated to be a person.
"Since everyone is an acquaintance, you might as well open the skylight and say something, Huang Shi is okay with him!"
"This! Okay then!" Huang Shi didn't expect His Highness to be so free and easy, and directly admitted his identity, but from Qian Dawei's tone, he also heard something that was not wrong with his identity.
Qian Dawei is a kind person, but in fact, there is a sense of arrogance flowing in his bones, it is rare for ordinary people to be respected, not to mention a junior, this guy actually guessed the identity of His Highness?
But where did the dew go?
"This is His Royal Highness Tianzhao, my brother came to you to give you a chance!"
"It's really Your Highness!" Qian Dawei showed a look of surprise, although his daughter had already mentioned it, but if he really wanted to believe it, he would inevitably be a little hard to believe, after all......
"Cao Min Qian Dawei, and the little girl Qian Qianjin have seen His Royal Highness, and they are not well entertained, and they hope that His Highness will atone for his sins!"
Qian Dawei pulled his daughter to kneel. Since ancient times, there have been differences between the monarchs and the people, His Royal Highness's status is noble, and ordinary people need to bow and bow when they see it, otherwise it is a great crime of disrespect.
There is a lot of appreciation in Huang Shi's eyes, this Qian Dawei is delicate, but he has doubts, and the number of etiquette that should be done is natural and thoughtful, this person is not an arrogant person, he understands proportion, knows how to advance and retreat, and the businessman is mercenary, but the giant businessman is not just like this, which is also one of the reasons why Huang Shi has made friends with him.
The corners of Li Tianzhao's mouth rose slightly, others respected him, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for others, raised his hand and said: "When you go out, you don't need to be so polite, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Qian Dawei stood up and said again: "I wonder if Your Highness can allow the grass people to talk to the elder brother in detail?"
Li Tianzhao nodded, I am afraid that Qian Dawei is also respectful and respectful of his identity, but what he thinks in his heart, Li Tianzhao is not clear, and it is naturally better to talk to Huang Shi.
Seeing that His Royal Highness agreed, Qian Dawei breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that the first time he met this temple that fell from the sky, the lion opened his mouth and made a lot of unreasonable demands, and he was really a little embarrassed at that time.
He is unclear about the origin of this highness, and he can't offend him rashly, but if he rashly blocks the entire Qian family, this behavior is also inconsiderate, and it is contrary to the ancestral teachings of the Qian family for several generations.
More time to discuss is also the best policy.
"Qianjin, boil tea and serve Your Highness, I'll talk to your Uncle Huang Shi about something!"
"Hmm!" Miss Qian has a gentle temperament, at this time she changed into a white dress, dignified and generous, and even more decent, which is really everyone's beautiful demeanor.
"Your Highness, how about a daughter make tea for you?"
Qian Qianjin looked at Li Tianzhao gently, tender as water, with affection, which made Li Tianzhao look a little demented, and couldn't help blushing a little. In the face of this kind of woman, as long as it is a man, I am afraid it is difficult to refuse.
"That's it!
Looking at the somewhat messy tea sets on the tea shelf, Qian Qianjin didn't say anything else, cleaned them up by herself, and then took out a pair of excellent tea sets from the cabinet in the main hall.
Although the tea set on the peacock covered table is also a high-end product, it can be compared with the real top grade, it seems a little clumsy, and the tea in the tea tray is only for ordinary guests.
For a person of noble status like His Royal Highness, it is reasonable to use the best tea.
Tea culture can be divided into two types: brewing tea and boiling tea.
Although there is no difference, the literati are more accustomed to boiling tea, and there is more of an aristocratic atmosphere.
There is a copper furnace in the main hall, in which smokeless charcoal is placed, and once burned, it can be adjusted according to its own needs.
Place a purple clay pot on top of it, scoop a scoop of melted spring water from the snow-capped mountains and throw it on it.
Miss Qian carefully observed the water phase in the pot, concentrated, calm, quiet and tranquil, beautiful as a picture.
The most important thing to make tea is people's patience, which has a lot to do with cultivation, and if the cultivation is not good, the impatient person will not be able to make good tea.
In the purple clay pot, there was a blister the size of a "fish eye", accompanied by a slight sound, and the Qian family's daughter finally showed a satisfied smile on her delicate face, picked up a teaspoon and scooped up half a spoon of white matter from a ceramic container and put it in it.
Li Tianzhao looked puzzled.
Is there so much attention to making tea? It's just that he doesn't ask well, so he can only watch patiently.
Wu Qi watched silently from the side, in his heart, Miss Qian's tea art is indeed much more elegant, and the control of the water temperature and the amount seem to be quite moderate, but he doesn't know how the last tea tastes.
In all fairness, it is much better than His Royal Highness's "nonsense" way of making tea.
Time passed for a while.
Qian Qianjin picked up a wide golden spoon and scooped out a spoonful of boiling water and put it aside, picked up a bamboo clip and put it into the water, stirred up a whirlpool, and then took out the star-dotted tea leaves from the tea tray and put them in it.
When the water boiled, Qian Qianjin covered the boiling water that had just been put aside on it again to protect the essence of its tea.
When the water boiled slightly, Qian Qianjin scooped out a layer of black mica-like film on it and put it in another tea bowl.
This series of actions looks at Li Tianzhao in the clouds, what the hell, boiling tea looks much more cumbersome than making tea.
When the water boiled again, Miss Qian adjusted the temperature of the fire, scooped out a bowl of soup and tea from it, raised the soup tea with her bare hands, and served it in front of Li Tianzhao, and said softly: "Please taste it, Your Highness!"
Li Tianzhao was stunned, isn't the tea all cold to drink?
It's not boiling!
Wu Qi smiled at the corner of his mouth, His Highness's mind estimated that he could guess a point or two, and then explained: "Your Highness, this is timeless! The taste is extremely delicious, if you wait for the tea to cool, the essence of the tea will be scattered, and it will not be as good as the tea feeling at the beginning." ”
Oh!
Meaningful?
It sounds quite fresh, so let His Royal Highness taste what it means to be timeless, and after taking the soup tea, he couldn't help but touch Miss Qian's plain hand, which was slightly cool to the touch, delicate and silky, so that Li Tianzhao's heart couldn't help but waver.
Hey, this damn goblin, trying to seduce people.
On the bright side, he took the soup tea casually, looking like a gentleman.
Clear smell, the mellow fragrance of tea, overflowing fragrance.
Taste, the aftertaste is endless, and it is wonderful.
This......
Li Tianzhao was stunned, even if he didn't know how to taste tea, he could feel the charm, needless to say.
Compared with his lame tea art, one heaven and one earth.
At this time, Li Tianzhao was a little embarrassed, embarrassed.
Recalling his arrogant expression when he was making tea just now, Li Tianzhao seemed to dig a pit and bury himself.
Shame on you! Shame on you!
Glancing slightly, noticing Huang Shi's unfinished teacup, Li Tianzhao said in a broken heart: This old man boasted about himself on the surface, but in fact he only took a small sip, this damn old fox.
Qian Qianjin was a little shy, her face was like a peach blossom, and Fang Cai's skin-to-skin kiss made her a little uncomfortable, and said softly: "But Qianjin is not cooked well?"
