Chapter 164: Tea Tasting
"And rightfully so." Chen Kexin said, the only thing that is inappropriate is that you are a newcomer, so you make this kind of suggestion, which is really not low-key.
"But Han Dujian said that the current focus is on flood relief and disaster relief, and if you want to settle the accounts, you will talk about it later." Wang Anshi said lightly: "I said, I don't have anything to do anyway, so I handed over the accounts to me to clarify, but Han Dujian found various reasons and resolutely refused to allow it." I said that these reasons were too far-fetched, and the result was that he was furious, and the people below him followed. β
"Oh." Chen Ke nodded and said with a smile: "It's really not a good time now, most of the ministers will calm down." β
"If you don't check now, when the flood waters recede and the losses are counted, they don't want to report what they want, so they can report it." Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "Either transfer me away, or let me investigate to the end, there is no third possibility." β
Chen Ke only asked politely, he didn't want to wade into the troubled waters of the herdsmen, Wang Anshi didn't mean to implicate him, and after a few words, he sent the guest away.
Coming out of the view, Chen Ke and his peers visited the neighboring victims as usual, but saw that there were no one left in ten rooms and nine empty, and when I inquired, it turned out that there was Kabuki today, performing on the nearest stage, and everyone went to listen to the music.
When they heard this, they were very excited, and said, 'I'll go to the stage and visit.' ''It's the pole, it's the pole. So everyone walked to the platform in front of the view, and not far away, they saw a temporary stage, and there was a dense crowd of people under the stage, and it was rare that it did not rain at this time, so the music on the stage could be heard clearly from a very long distance.
Seeing that Chen Ke and them were coming, the people took the initiative to give way and let them go to the front, so that they could listen carefully...... People's hearts change people's hearts, these days, the hard work of the students, the victims are grateful to their hearts.
Chen Ke and the others whispered thanks, and after a while, they arrived at the stage. Song Duanping looked at it and whispered: "I said that it sounds so familiar, it turns out that Xiao Du is singing." After a pause, he said with great anticipation: "Xiao Du is here, will Da Du be far away." It turned out that when I listened to Du's singing in the restaurant, he completely became a fan of Du Qingshuang.
did not disappoint Song classmates, and after Xiao Du sang, he introduced to the audience that there was a lover for her master below, the water fairy Du Xing, who made his debut.
The audience couldn't believe their ears, and the audience was silent for a moment, until a woman wearing a turquoise emerald cigarette shirt, a scattered pale pink pleated skirt, a thin emerald water veil, a shaved shoulder, a waist, and a skin better than snow walked onto the stage, and then burst into a burst of deafening cheers.
"What a water fairy!" Song Duanping shouted excitedly: "Oiran actually came to the place where civilians gather to perform, it is worthy of the water fairy who is ice clear and jade, I worship you too much!" β
Chen Ke and the others hurriedly stayed away, lest they be recognized, and they were in the same group as this embarrassing guy. However, they also admired Du Qingshuang for appearing here. Because Oiran, a precious species, has always only appeared in front of three kinds of people, high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and romantic talents. The former can give them shelter, the middle has endless wealth, and the latter can increase their fame.
This sounds too realistic, but it's understandable. For these famous prostitutes who eat youth, time is their capital, and they must maximize the utility of every moment in order to stand out from the 100,000 fat powder in Bianjing City and become a generation of famous prostitutes who gain fame and fortune.
The area around Wanshouguan is a place where poor people and commoners gather, and there is no value to famous prostitutes, so let alone the top ten oirans like Du Qingshuang, even the famous official prostitutes will not appear here...... Anyway, the government just asked them to perform for the victims, and there was no limit, they had to perform somewhere.
But Du Qingshuang not only came, but also did not have the slightest perfunctory. She sang three songs first, but in the audience's long-lasting applause, she returned to sing four more songs, making a total of seven. Song Duanping was moved to tears: "Seven songs, seven songs, everyone has never sung so many songs at one time." β
"You've only been in the capital for a few days?" Chen Ke laughed.
"I'll inquire," Song Duanping took out a small book from his arms, shook it in front of Chen Ke and said: "This is all the information of the water fairy, and it took me several months to collect it." β
"Really." Chen Ke scolded with a smile: "My Uncle Song wants to know that you are a paparazzi, and the big-eared melon seeds have already been fanned." β
"I can't communicate with a rough guy like you." Song Duanping shook his head and said: "The water fairy is the embodiment of art, I am pursuing the true meaning of art, do you understand?" β
"I'm done listening to the song, it's time to get down to business." Chen Ke shook his head, stretched his waist and said, "The old rule, each person visits ten households, and then summarizes it to me." β
Today, the victims of the disaster are gathered together, which is convenient for Chen Ke and them, more than half an hour, they have completed today's task, and then it is free time, they discussed where to go for the tooth sacrifice, and walked to the original mountain gate and the current wharf.
When they arrived at the dock, Chen Ke and the others were looking for their boat, but they heard a pleasant call: "Chen Gongzi, please stay." β
Chen Ke and the others followed the prestige, and saw a stunning woman wearing a long cyan cloak and holding a silk umbrella in her hand, standing on a flower boat, and bowing deeply to him.
"Du, Du, everyone......" Song Duanping's eyes popped out, and everyone gasped.
"Did Du Xingshou call me?" Chen Ke rubbed his nose a little embarrassed.
"Exactly." That Du Qingshuang straightened up, and said in a low voice: "I have been invited several times, but the son refuses to give advice, so Qingshuang has no choice but to wait here." β
'Huh......' Everyone exclaimed together, looking at Chen Ke's gaze, there were all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Huh." Chen Ke smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that something is wrong." β
"I don't know if Childe is free today." Du Qingshuang said softly: "I just heard Gongzi say that it seems that there is nothing to do in the afternoon." β
Okay, he couldn't say anything else, Chen Ke saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay." β
"Pity the flowers, cherish the moon, quickly invite Chen Gongzi to get on the boat." Du Qingshuang smiled, but this smile was not to Chen Ke, but to Wulang beside him: "Little brother, you are also here." Although it was a very light touch, it made the heartbeat of a group of students suddenly skip a beat, it turned out that the cold beauty smiled occasionally, and it was so fascinating.
"Then, you can go back first." Chen Ke saw that in the same year when he lost his mind, he didn't need the support of two little maids, so he jumped on the boat.
Gorou also jumped on it, and the flower boat quickly drove away, leaving only the goose-headed students on the dock, and they had two thoughts in their hearts, one was, this must be a dream, and the other was, why wouldn't I take it too?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The guest hall of the painting boat is very spacious and exquisite, the four walls are hung with pale green gauze curtains, and the four corners are set up with a few incense burners, porcelain bottles, and a small bonsai covered with moss on the mountain stones, all of which are fresh flowers...... This is extremely rare in today's Bianjing City.
There is a piano table at the back of the guest hall, on which a guqin is placed, and at the back end is a low couch, on which a low table is placed, and the host and guests sit on the futon. There is a servant girl serving a very light gold drawing machine, on which are placed tea hangers, tea bowls, gargles, mouth cloths, etc., and there is a servant girl, serving a tray, on which are more than a dozen plates of delicate refreshments.
When there was a whining sound in the tea hanging, Du Qingshuang actually made tea for the guests with her own hands, only to see her black hair curled up high, and her eyes were focused and peaceful. She lifted the kettle with a handkerchief, poured it into the teapot and teacup, and then poured the water inside, and then put a spoonful of tea leaves in the teapot, which was a tea leaf with complete branches, not tea powder crushed from the tea ball.
After putting the tea leaves, she filled the pot with boiling water and poured it out......
Then she poured boiling water a third time before she began to pour the tea. I saw her holding a pot in one hand and holding her wrist in the other, like a dragonfly dotting water, pouring tea soup into the pot. The action is like flowing water, in one go, without the slightest fireworks, no matter if you have smoke in your heart, or full of grass, after reading it, you will unconsciously calm your heart like water, and you will not be shocked.
Without adding any spices, Du Qingshuang stretched out his hand to invite.
When the maids on both sides presented the teacup to the two guests, Chen Ke took the teacup with both hands. Seeing that the tea soup was green in color, it was not as thick as it was seen on weekdays, and he was full of expectations. The lips are light, a wisp of fragrance goes down the throat, warm and fragrant, there is a trace of bitterness at the beginning, and then the mouth gradually grows, and I can't help but praise sincerely: "This is tea!" β
Seeing him so admired, Du Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is Qingshuang's self-created method of drinking tea, and even the tea is specially asked for from the tea businessman, and I am worried that Chen Gongzi will be too bitter." β
"It's a pity, it......'s a pity," Chen Ke tasted again, and said: "This tea should be excellent, but it's a pity that there is one less process." β
"Advice, please?" Du Qingshuang smiled slightly.
"Finished." Chen Ke said with a smile: "Tea is new and good, but if you use fresh tea leaves directly to make tea, not only will you not be able to brew the true taste of tea, but you will also be poisoned if you drink it for a long time." β
"Poisonous?" Du Qingshuang's expression changed and said, "Is what Childe said true?" β
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said, "The tea needs to be finished before it is suitable for drinking." β
"Yes......" Du Qingshuang said curiously: "How should I finish it?" β
"Stir-fry." Chen Ke said with a smile: "Tea leaves need to be fried, and the fried tea can be brewed to make a real tea aroma, and it is easy to preserve." "Roasted tea is a great progress in the history of tea, probably starting in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and no one understands it yet.
"Unexpectedly, Childe is also well versed in the tea ceremony," Du Qingshuang said seriously: "Another day, Qingshuang must try according to Childe's method." β
"Hehe......" Chen Ke smiled, put the teacup on the table and said: "I have seen Du Xingshou for a long time, but it is not consistent with the rumors." β
"Rumors are boring." Du Qingshuang said lightlyββ
