Chapter 55: The Tea Utensil and the Silver Kettle
Xiaochan put the pot with a handle and a number of tea pots for daily use, all of which were laid out on the stone bed.
Ming Yi held the [wax stack] and saw that she had packed up the tea cooking utensils, and she was also ready. But as soon as I eat and drink, I mediate from this bed, and I can't help but get a little oily.
Shang Chen saw that she was always silent, knowing that she was more honest in the tea matter, and Su liked to be clean, so he walked towards the carriage without waiting for her to speak.
Ming Yi came to his senses and was about to whisper to Lang Jun, when he saw him approaching with the [Capital Basket], and he was really happy in his heart. But after thinking about it, I was afraid that Xiaochan's mind would be wasted, and her family would lose face. So he thought about it and said to her with a smile: "Sister, this is a special item for tea at my house, and you have prepared this before you can take it out." In this way, according to my idea, brew it together, compare and see the tea sets of different materials, and eat the wonderful use of tea! ”
Hao Dangjia had heard that Kyoto's tea affair was prosperous, and he was extremely extravagant. The tea utensils I saw now were exquisite, and I was chilling, but I didn't expect Ming Yi to be so thoughtful, and said with relief: "That's a good dare, and I also appreciate it seriously, and I'm no longer afraid of the generals passing by laughing at me!" ”
When Shang Chen heard this, he hurriedly looked at Ming Yi and whispered: "Teach them how to behave, usually greet business, and bring it out through words and deeds, without being deliberate, and can attract the attention of barbarians, the best of both worlds." ”
Ming Yi was not without pride, "That's! ”
As she spoke, she took out the [Vortex Gilt Silver Cauldron] from the basket, handed it to Ah Xiu, who was full of doubts, and said with a smile: "Look at you, your eyebrows are all twisted together with your nose, you first fill your own small red clay stove and set it on fire." Scoop some water into this kettle, and it's seven points full! ”
Seeing Xiaochan's sigh, Ming Yi understood the poor family's confusion, and hurriedly said: "Sister wait to take your brother's silver kettle and help boil the water, and the water surface will stop with the waves." ”
Xiaochan was studious and asked, "How about rolling over?" ”
Ming Yi said patiently: "The water is old, if you use it to make tea, it will be stiff and not fresh to eat." ”
Shang Chen listed a number of [Kuikou Shallow Bottom Hong Goose Pattern Gilt Silver Bowl] and [Gilt Six-petal Flower Shape Round Pattern Flat Belly Silver Holding Pot]. Seeing the three faces looking at each other, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be stubborn, and sit down." Your own lady cooks tea, you also taste it, and you have nothing to do with a pestle, and you are more and more uncomfortable. Pay attention to the comparison for a while, and if you can use it in the future, you are not afraid of famine! ”
When they heard this, they also felt reasonable, and after they settled down, they watched intently, and said in their hearts: If you can eat Lang Jun to death, you have a three-plate axe!
Ming Yi cleaned the plantain at the seal of the bamboo tube, took a clean handkerchief, and wiped the edge of the mouth and the barrel one by one.
Shang Chen took out two bowl-like [Flame Pattern Gilded Circle Foot Plates] from the basket and placed them, and handed her the [Gilded Arabesque Pattern Long-handled Silver Spoon] to her.
Ming Yi took it with a smile, took the silver spoon and picked it into the cylinder a few times, and took out a handful of tea leaves with residual temperature, roasted until they were curled and yellowed. Wu Zimu had enough strength, and slapped it unceasingly towards the barrel, and the tea leaves fell one after another, forming a hill on the silver plate, like autumn wind and falling leaves, and the clouds were rolling up.
Suddenly, the soup boils.
Ming Yi and Shang Chen each held a plate of [Wax Stack] and slowly dialed it into the teapot in front of them. Gestures, invariably, have a soul, envy others.
Shang Chen learned from her, scooped water into the pot with a scoop, drenched the entire tea surface in a circle, and hurriedly divided the bowl.
Seeing that Hao Dangjia and others were about to eat, Peng Xin hurriedly stopped: "Ming Niangzi calls this a wake-up tea and cleans the tea face, not for eating." ”
Ah Xiu sighed, Xiao Chan bowed his head, Hao Dangjia looked sideways, and the rest were not surprised.
After adding water for the second time, the brown color is moisturized and deeper than before, and it is ready to eat. Peng Xin and the others shouted at everyone to serve the bowl, but Shang Chen stopped again.
Seeing the panic on everyone's faces, Ming Yi smiled and said: "Lang Jun uses a clay pot there, you should eat him first, and then take half a bowl of warm water to moisten your throat and eliminate the afterglow in front of you, so you can eat mine!" ”
Hao Dangjia knew that Ah Xiu was puzzled, and when he saw that he was about to ask a question, he hurriedly pulled his shirt, "You do it, and the tea lady will talk about it later, so you don't have to delay the work!" "Listening to Ah Weng's good words, Ah Xiu is not good at distinguishing the certificate, so he has to give up.
Xiaochan didn't pay attention to smelling the fragrance when she ate tea, so she had to put it on her mouth, and a refreshing fragrance struck, which could not be said, and a vein of Qingfen gushed out of the heart of the straight teaching. In the mouth, the sweet tea is mixed with a little astringency, mellow and fresh, but after all, it is not as amazing as when you first smell it.
After drinking half a bowl of white water, everyone ate the tea that Ming Yi made with a silver pot.
Xiaochan picked up the silver bowl with her head back, and couldn't help but be cautious, for fear of losing her hand and causing people to laugh. Unexpectedly, as soon as he ate half a bowl, he unloaded the obstacles in his heart and said in surprise: "Isn't it that even tea is poor and loves rich, why is the tea of Ming Niangzi more frivolous, soft, fresh and sweet, and the astringency is not as sluggish as Fang Cai." ”
Ah Xiu chimed in: "That's exactly what I said. ”
At this moment, Hao Dangjia admired this little lady tightly, and said respectfully: "Ming Niang, we all think that your tea is better to eat." Don't sell lawsuits, let's solve our doubts! ”
Peng Xin smiled: "Ming Niangzi, say it quickly, we can't wait to know the reason!" ”
Peng Ze and Peng Xiao didn't have a word, and reluctantly acquiesced to Peng Xin's words.
Ming Yi concentrated on eating the tea in the bowl, sucked his tongue, and said: "The most unbearable thing about tea is the smell of contamination. Secondly, silver utensils can be tested for poison in the theory of food utensils. In terms of jewelry, it can remove evil spirits and drive away moisture. As for the pot, it has the effect of running water without decay, which is also the reason why the brewed tea is exceptionally sweet and soft. In [Tianzhu] and other countries, the royal family and nobles mostly use it to store water, just to maintain health and prolong life. ”
