Zhang Xuanmeng was puzzled: "What are you doing?" Li Yuxin whispered: "Fool, this is a commonly used method of testing poison in the rivers and lakes." I saw that the scholar was not an ordinary person, and it seemed that I was too careful. As he spoke, he also picked up chopsticks, took a piece of bamboo shoot and chewed it slowly in his mouth, saying it was "delicious".

Xiao Er brought the meal and said, "Two guest officers, do you want some wine to eat? This is the authentic daughter red, our lord spent a lot of effort to get a few jars, and it is difficult for ordinary people to drink. ”

Li Yuxin knew that he was going to show his tongue again, and said with a smile: "Xiao Er, we don't drink it, I want to vomit when I smell that smell." Xiao Er had to shut up and greet other guests, and his mouth never stopped. Li Yuxin and Zhang Xuanmeng looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, the lobby was already full of people, and from time to time they heard a foreign accent, and they secretly paid attention. After a short while, the scholar walked out of the inside and said to the two, "How are you two eating?"

Li Yuxin praised: "It's really high-quality, how many times can we have such good dishes in the world? The man clenched his fists and said, "I've talked about it." "Back to the table. But he saw that he took out a few teacups from a bag, two of which were carved from wood, with ancient seals carved on them, thinking that they were very old, and two of them were carved from bamboo, and a few lines of words were also carved. He also took out small things such as a pinch, a photograph, a tube, a spoon, and two small bags from his bosom. I saw him take out some tea leaves from a small bag, each piece is about half an inch, slightly yellowish in the green, the color is oily and shiny, the sharp buds are close to the leaves, like a bird's tongue, and the whole body is white and fine, and it is placed in two wooden cups. I took some tea leaves from another bag and put them in a bamboo cup, this tea is very different from the previous tea leaves, this tea shape is two leaves holding a bud, flat and straight, not scattered, not warped, not bent. Baihao is all over the body, containing but not revealing. The leaf color is pale green and even, the back of the leaf is green, and the veins are saffron in the green.

He asked Xiao Er to send a pot of boiling water, but after a glance, he said: "Change another pot, don't have any tea dirt, the water should be just boiling." Xiao Er really changed to another pot. The man poured it into the cup. After a while, I smelled a fragrance like white orchid. Someone shouted "good tea".

Zhang Xuanmeng and Li Yuxin saw that the man's behavior was strange, and they paid more attention. Although Zhang Xuanmeng has never tasted tea and does not know the taste of tea, he smells this fragrance and knows that it must be a famous tea.

The man stirred the wooden cup with a thin spoon and poured boiling water into the bamboo cup. After a while, there was also a fragrance, but this fragrance was different from the fragrance just now, and it felt refreshing and lasting.

The man made the tea, took a sip of the wooden cup, and praised himself, "Good tea." After drinking it again, he suddenly picked up a wooden cup and a bamboo cup and walked over to Zhang Xuanmeng and Li Yuxin, put the two cups on the table and said: "This brother and this girl, I don't like literature and martial arts in my life, and I am not good at making money and governing the family, but I like to cook and taste tea and mix tea." It is a great honor for these dishes to get two blue eyes. How about you two taste my tea again?"

Zhang Xuanmeng stood up and hugged his fists and said: "This brother, we are fortunate to be able to taste your craftsmanship, how dare we expect the famous tea of Brother Tai?"

The man smiled and said, "Don't be polite, this brother. To tell the truth, it is impossible for anyone to smell the tea I have blended, let alone taste it? It is only when I meet such characters as Brother Tai and the girl that I am willing to offer it. I love it, and I want to meet my soulmate, and I would like to ask you two to judge the tea I mix and the dishes I cook, which is better or worse?"

Zhang Xuanmeng and Li Yuxin saw him politely and tactfully, and secretly raised their identities, the two of them were young people, they were very happy, and said, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Xuanmeng stretched out his hand to take the bamboo cup, and saw that the tea leaves in the cup were blooming, or hanging, or floating, or sinking, and there were many little monkeys stretching out their heads and shrinking their tails in the tea, and the soup was clear and green. Just wanted to drink it, Li Yuxin suddenly said: "I like the color of the tea in this bamboo cup, this wooden cup is for you." Zhang Xuanmeng changed with her, and saw that the tea in the wooden cup was pale yellow and clear, and the tea was foggy.

Zhang Xuanmeng learned from the scholar's appearance, tasted it gently, and said, "Good tea, really good tea." In fact, he had never tasted tea, and he didn't know the quality of tea, even if the bitter herb leaves were soaked in it, he drank it the same, just to make the man happy, and deliberately smacked his lips.

The man was really happy and said, "Thank you, brother." This tea is called Huangshan Maofeng, only in the area of this mountain lotus hermitage, if you move to other places, the soil quality is different, the tea taste naturally changes, far less than the production of this mountain. It is usually difficult to buy, and most of them are taken away by the emperor. How about you taste your cup again, girl?"

Li Yuxin looked at the tea in the cup, and faintly felt that something was wrong, how could she and Zhang Xuanmeng have such a good blessing, to be able to eat his dishes, and to be able to taste such a precious tea, could it be that there are ghosts in it?

"This tea is also the famous tea of Huangshan, called Taiping Houkui, which is only produced in this mountain. This tea is picked between the valley rain and the beginning of summer, and after this period, the taste is not mellow. This tea has the effect of moistening the throat, brightening the eyes and refreshing the mind, and the girl will know it when she tries it. ”

Li Yuxin said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, this tea is called Taiping Monkey Kui, it is really good, there seem to be many little monkeys stretching their heads and shrinking their tails in the tea, which is very good-looking." Brother, please go back, I see that this tea is cute, a little reluctant to swallow it, I want to appreciate it again. ”

The man smiled and said, "Okay, girl, use it slowly." He glanced at Zhang Xuanmeng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Li Yuxin saw that he was smiling strangely, her heart was furious, and she hurriedly said: "Xuanmeng, stop, how do you feel?"

Zhang Xuanmeng stopped and said, "Yes, the tea tastes great." Li Yuxin was still not at ease, and said, "You really don't feel anything unusual?" Zhang Xuanmeng said: "There really isn't." Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and with an "oops" sound, he fell down with his hands in his arms.

Li Yuxin knew that something was wrong, and drew her sword to chase the man, but saw an old man at the table behind Zhang Xuanmeng, and when Zhang Xuanmeng was about to fall, he hit him on the back with a palm. When he boarded, Zhang Xuanmeng was hit and flew out, knocked over the table, and fell to the ground.
