Chapter Seventy-Five: The Fear of Domination
When Carrotes finished announcing the title, as it had done yesterday, the crowd slowly dispersed in an orderly manner, with the Funeral Society and the Clouft family working together to maintain order, so nothing happened unexpectedly.
Regarding the candidate to participate in this second oath, there is no doubt that it is the Third Highness, an answer that although helpless, but has no choice.
Out of various concerns, unlike yesterday's attitude of ignoring Xiang, Ye Qing decided to implement emergency additional tutoring for the Third Highness, otherwise it would not be surprising for His Highness to make any jokes on the field tomorrow.
"Do you understand what a fireless tea is?" Ao Xuehua asked the girl in black who was sitting there calmly.
The Third Highness blinked his eyelashes, as if with a hint of thought: "Is it just tea that doesn't need to be brewed with fire?" ”
Ye Qing next to him shook his head: "In a sense, it can indeed be understood like this, but it is not entirely so. ”
Saying this, Ye Qing discharged different drinks one by one on the table, and then pointed to them and explained: "Although the tea in the current context refers to tea made from tea leaves and derivatives, the tea in the imperial oath is far more than that. ”
"The so-called literature, utensils, tea, martial arts, food, medicine, jade, its scope is far more than what it literally represents, just like a simple vessel, in the hands of a monster like Xiang and that guy, it can be turned into a work that can represent its own peak field, in fact, tea, refers to all drinks."
"Whether it's water that relies on pure taste without adding anything, or tea that refreshes the mind with the fragrance of plants and trees, or milk syrup that is sweet and rich in animals, or the different flavors brought by grinding the fruit of plants, all liquid drinks that can be drunk separately can be classified as tea."
"Therefore, the competition of tea in the imperial oath is far from a competition of tea, but a competition to compete with all drinks."
"Of course, because the scope of such comparisons is so broad, the title is often prescribed in the imperial oath, and the tea without fire is a very rare, but at the same time very famous topic."
"To put it simply, it means that the drink you make should not be allowed to boil at any time, because many people are convinced that boiling water destroys many of the flavors of the original drink."
"Hmm." His Royal Highness replied softly. "I'll remember."
Ye Qing just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ao Xuehua: "Senior sister, among your Su Hui, there are indeed incredible opinions about all kinds of tea, but now in your hands, there are more or less deviations, just like the tea you cooked at the beginning, because of overconfidence, the tea always boils in an instant so that all the tea leaves are crushed into tea powder, although this method releases all the aroma of tea in the shortest time, but at the same time, we have all tasted it, and its taste is still unforgettable." ”
"Even if you can make a pretty delicious tea today, it's not enough by the standards of the Emperor's Oath, or more bluntly, relative to Christie."
Ao Xuehua held her chin and said seriously: "So, we all hope that Senior Sister can try to make the best tea in her memory, and it meets the requirements of the Imperial Oath topic." ”
"Of course, we all know that there will be many failures in the process of practicing, so we are now here to accompany the senior sister to practice this tea, provide tasting services and give suggestions for improvement."
The Third Highness tilted his head, thought carefully for a moment, and then replied very sincerely: "I suggest not." ”
"We have nothing to fear." Zhou Xi clasped his hands in front of his chest on the side and said with a look of intoxication and nymphocy: "To be able to taste the new tea handmade by my senior sister, there is nothing better in this world, no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, I will not take a step back, this is my belief, my persistence." ”
Ao Xuehua glanced at Senior Zhou Xi angrily, and then didn't think about it: "First ask Senior Sister to try to make a pot of tea from when we met for the first time." ”
The Third Highness is such a simple child, she will never refuse a suggestion that seems to have no malice, so when her left hand was raised, the small purple sand teapot that she once called cute appeared in her hand, and then a right hand, and a bag of tea appeared, and the tea was poured into the teapot, and there was clear water poured into the pot from nowhere, and then the third highness raised the tea leaves with his right hand and disappeared again, and then put the purple sand pot filled with water into the tea leaves in a natural posture in the void, and the right hand was held at the bottom of the teapot. A dazzling red flame grew from the palm of his hand.
As Ge Sheng had once seen, the teapot boiled almost instantly, and then the refreshing and charming fragrance filled the room, and just smelling this aroma almost confirmed that it was a cup of earthly tea that was so delicious that it would taste good just by drinking it.
However, some of the people present had shuddering expressions on their faces at the same time.
On that day, humanity finally remembered the horror that had once been dominated by it, and the shame of being flattered against its conscience.
However, some people do not include Senior Zhou Xi after all, and Zhou Xi was elated: "Senior sister, it turns out that you still have such a great tea, why have you been reluctant to make it?" Could it be that this time is the kung fu at the bottom of the box, the trump card that will win with one blow, okay, okay? I can't wait to taste it. ”
Ye Qing smiled slightly, revealing the expression of a little devil: "Since it is rare for senior sister to make such a tea again, then we should taste it together, appreciate the strange text, and analyze the doubts." ”
Although Ge Sheng wanted to stop it at that moment, he saw the blazing eyes of Ye Qing and Ao Xuehua at that moment.
Yes, the pit I once fell into, you will fall into me without any land.
Even if Ge Sheng couldn't read minds, he could clearly see such thoughts in their eyes.
However, at the end of the summer, ten people from the Friends Society were present at this time, so His Royal Highness skillfully took out ten cups of different styles, and then poured tea for each teacup elegantly one by one.
At the end of the summer, there were ten people from the Friends Society, Ao Xuehua, Ye Qing, Ge Sheng, Zhou Xi, Qi Xia, Three Highnesses, Mo Xiaojing, Lan Che, Shi Feng, and Ziquan.
Although there is an illusion that is very familiar, in fact, there are only four people who were lucky enough to taste the tea of the Three Highnesses under the ice house on Ye Qingfen's New Year's Day, and one of them is the Three Highnesses themselves.
"Come on." Ye Qing warmly invited, and then took the lead in raising a glass: "For tomorrow's imperial oath, this is the first trial product we have tried, cheers." ”
Under the example of Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, the rest of the people raised their glasses one after another, and then drank them without suspicion.
I think that from that day on, everyone in the Friends Society at the end of summer will recall the fear of being once dominated by the Three Highnesses.
