Chapter Fifty-Nine: Two People Drinking Tea
It is said that it is traditional not only because of the interior decoration style, but also because it allows customers to change into the kimono prepared in the store and drink tea in this environment.
"Under the snow, are you really not going to change into a kimono?" Sitting in the small cubicle between the two of them brought to them by the clerk, he still tried to convince Xue Xia to let her change into a kimono. He really wanted to see it, and although it was common to see women and men in kimonos walking through the streets, they didn't have anything to look at under the snow.
"I've already said it, please don't have any more strange thoughts."
"But you see, this place has a traditional atmosphere, don't you think there is a lack of a beautiful girl in a kimono now? Then the beautiful girl poured tea, what a match. ”
"As long as the waiters outside pay more, they will come and pour you tea." Under the snow looked at him mockingly.
"Forget about them, what I want to see is how you look in a kimono, what is there to look at them."
"Buckle ~"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and he pushed it open without waiting for them to reply. Then Takeshita saw that the female clerk who had led them the way was kneeling on a tatami mat, and there was a wooden tray on the right, full of tea sets, and a bamboo thermos next to it.
......
Am I walking without a sound or am I too focused under the snow? I didn't even notice her coming, and what she said was heard, no, it must have been heard.
Although I said what was in my heart, it was still embarrassing to be caught. Although Takeshita was sometimes cheeky when facing the snow, he was prepared at that time, and he felt his face hot in a sudden situation like this.
His seat was on the left relative to the door, so he looked back and looked straight in the direction under the snow.
Hey, don't laugh, the corners of your eyes are upturned, this is a sign of holding back a smile, your shoulders are shaking, it's so amazing that you can still hold back.
At this time, the clerk did not get up and took a few steps in a kneeling position to move the tray in, and then placed the items on it one by one on the low table, and finally put the hot water bottle with hot water in front of the low table.
"Please take your time." After saying this, he faced them face them again, and walked out of the door on his knees, and closed the door for them.
He listened carefully to the sounds outside, and could not hear any movement. After a while, still feeling that there was no movement, he gently moved to the door a few steps away, and then pulled the door open. There was nothing outside the door except closed shoji doors and empty aisles.
Close the door and sit back in her place, then look at the snow and smile and say, "This door is all made of wood and paper, I didn't expect her to walk without even hearing the sound or shadow." ”
"I don't think they're happy to ask them to serve and pour tea now." Kneeling under the snow on a tatami mat whispered, unexpectedly gentle.
"It's really bad for them to hear that, but I also said that I just want to see you look like you in a kimono, so there's nothing wrong with what you said, it's your fault to say that there's something wrong, and you're the source of it all."
"I'm sorry that I can't even fulfill your last wish."
"It turns out that your apology is because of the latter sentence." He smiled nonchalantly.
"Now, do you know how to have a tea ceremony?" looked at the indifferent snow under the snow, and then looked at the two people who prepared a lot of various tea sets.
As if she felt that she was sitting straighter under the snow than before, she replied simply. "Yes."
"Then why don't you start your tea ceremony? I haven't been exposed to tea art, I can only put tea leaves, pour boiling water, pour it, pour boiling water. "From our tea art, I have not really seen, because what I have seen is very Japanese-style, speaking of tea art, the whole world thinks of the tea ceremony of mud bombing, I wonder if the original side is lost, not to mention that now this has formed a tea ceremony with mud bombing characteristics.
"So, just like this, such a cumbersome tea art is too wasteful for you who don't know how to taste tea."
"I really think what you said makes sense." Self-identified replied, he didn't think about any tea ceremony, anyway, just to find a place to rest and pass the time, the most important thing is to sit opposite him under the snow, the two of them can sit like this alone outside the study and service department, this is enough.
Pick up a can of bamboo jars that look like tea leaves, open the lid on it, "Put this enough amount in such a large jar at one time?" Ran Wei put three jars. ”
Pour all the tea leaves into the teapot, then pick up the hot water bottle next to it, open it, pour boiling water into the brown teapot, as for what "Phoenix three nods" technique, look at the hot water bottle that the store only prepared, it has not been used for many years, and this body does not have that feel or forget it. Cover the lid of the teapot and shake it gently, then pour the water into the two cups prepared, and then use the bamboo tweezers next to it to hold the cups and gently shake the tea to evenly fill the cup, and finally pour it out.
In fact, he didn't know why he poured out the first pot of tea, he only knew that during the New Year's holidays, whether it was a guest at home or someone else's house, everyone made tea like this, and he followed suit.
Then pour in the boiling water again, cover the pot and let it soak for a while.
"It's really not pretty." The whole time I watched him under the snow, after he did all these actions, she made her comments.
"So let you come, you don't." Angrily replied to the words under the snow, "Do you prefer to drink something a little stronger or a little lighter?" ”
"Whatever." He could clearly see that under the snow he had just replied with a smile.
"It's not like what you say, and I like to give casual answers, but it's hard to answer casually. Then I'll take it lightly, it's whatever you say. ”
As he said, casual responses to other people's answers are the simplest responses, so answers like this that make it difficult for others to choose will sooner or later be obtained by yourself.
Although it was said to be lighter, before he could act, Xue Xia took the initiative to take over the matter of pouring tea. He could clearly see her middle and ring fingers pinching the handle, her index finger resting lightly on the twist of the lid, and her thumb pinching the handle.
Tea ceremony is a kind of practice, since it is a kind of practice, that is, there are not too many distracting thoughts, in addition to sincerity is respect, drinking tea can calm the mind, calm the mind, help to cultivate sentiment, remove distracting thoughts, at this time under the snow to give him this kind of "quiet" feeling, and very elegant.
Am I hopeless, I can have so many feelings about her action of pouring tea, and if it goes on like this, it will really become a hentai in the end.
"This is a way for a lady to hold a pot in the tea ceremony, and if the pot is bigger, it is not like that. And you rarely use this kind of teapot, which is the kind of spout and handle at a 90-degree angle. And also...... Well, forget it, it's too complicated for people who haven't been exposed to the tea ceremony. ”
"I don't think the latter sentence needs to be said." The teapot you mentioned looks like it is used to decoct Chinese medicine, with the thumb and middle finger clasped on the edge of the teacup downward, and the index finger slightly cocked to take a sip of the teacup, and taste it in the mouth before swallowing.
"How?" Xue Xia also asked softly.
"That's it." He said vaguely.
"I can't get it."
"I know all about it and ask."
"Well, after all, the Itoen brand of tea is for the public, so it can't be said to be bad or too good, and it's just sencha, and there is gyokuro on it, so it's a good tea." So there's nothing wrong with your 'just be it'. Xue Xia said what she knew, obviously teaching him some knowledge about the tea ceremony, but the reason for the tsundere seemed to be hurting him.
Gyokuro? Does it mean gyokuro? According to your meaning, this is the second best, and it's really picky.
"Aren't your feet sore when you sit like that, I heard that it's easy to circle your legs when you sit on your knees." The division of labor between the two is very clear, he pours water, pours tea under the snow, and then one of them drinks and tastes it, at first he talked about the topic of tea, and then he thought of what to say.
Of course, their chat format becomes a conversation after chatting.
"However, I don't mind if you sit like this, it's still very touching to think about kneeling down to me under the snow that is the first in the school year and the first in beauty, isn't it."
"I usually respect my ancestors." Under the snow she looked at him with a smile.
"Why do you say that everything you say is about my death, or do you still think that I will haunt you after I die, so you curse me like this? It seems that I am not very attractive. He touched his chin and looked under the snow with a grin.
"Ah, you're hallucinating, I've heard that before you die, you will have the most thoughts in your heart and the review of your life, and you've become obsessed with me as your last wish when you die."
Quietly drinking about one-third of the tea in the cup, he slowly spoke under the snow: "But I still have some ability to invite a master at home." ”
"Master, who knows, if you really have the Tao or if you have the Tao?"
Mage? What's the use, even the monks on the other side of the sea have begun to use the temple as a tourist attraction to make money and form a company to go public, and the monks here can get married and still want to catch ghosts?
But it's still good that the monks here can get married, unlike over there, in order to adapt to the national conditions, one of the original branches has become the mainstream.
When they walked out of the tea room, they saw only a few people waiting at the bus stop on the opposite side, and they glanced at each other, waited for the green light, walked to the opposite side, and waited for a while until they got on the bus that passed through Makuhari Honhi Station, got off the bus for fifteen minutes, and bought a train ticket back.
After returning to the apartment, in front of the elevator, Yukixia took the initiative to invite him, inviting him to go with her tomorrow to buy Yubihama's gift and let him be a reference.
