Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tea Universe Reflects the Past Years
"Your Majesty's tea, the concubines are afraid that they can't afford it." Ruoyan took a sip of tea and glanced at him, "Besides, Your Majesty's people bullied me, and I want to settle this matter after a few cups of tea, isn't it too cheap?" ”
"What does Yan want?" Li Yizhe squinted his eyes and reached the root of her ear with a seductive smile, lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't I make a promise tonight?" ”
Ruoyan was half crisped by his bones, his body was soft in Li Yizhe's arms, and a pair of peach blossom eyes stared at Li Yizhe with watery eyes, obviously he was seductive, but the words in his mouth were not very merciful: "Your Majesty's frivolous appearance is exactly the same as the little man who hooked the fence." ”
"How can it be the same? The little guy who hooked the fence and Vasher seduced everyone, but I only seduced you. ”
"Okay, I went to the couch to read a book, and now I'm tired and panicked with such a stomach. If you want to make tea, you can make it, and I can just drink it. Ruoyan was amused by him, and was anxious to get up to avoid him, "Xueying, help me over." ”
Before the snow warbler came over, Li Yizhe had already picked her up. The fox-like phoenix eyes shone brightly. When he looked at Ruoyan, there seemed to be infinite affection in him, and he only taught Ruoyan to look at those eyes and almost sank.
"Your eyes are beautiful." Ruo Yan said suddenly.
"Like?" Li Yizhe laughed, "If you like it, will you look good every day?" Maybe I like you and I like it too. ”
Ruoyan's face turned red and gave him a blank look: "There is no positive shape." ”
"Am I more serious, then?" Li Yizhe rubbed his ears on the couch with her, "Ah Yan is so soft to hold." ”
"You're still not letting me read?" Ruoyan pushed him away a little.
"What are you looking at? I'll watch it with you. Li Yizhe came up, "Tsk, are you reading the historical records?" This kind of long-winded historiography book can't be read by other daughters' families. ”
"Someone else is someone else, and I'm not someone else. What's so bad about historiography books? My aunt once said that reading history books can make people wise. The more you read, the more you can see things more clearly. Ruoyan spread out the book and turned to the page she saw yesterday.
"What are you doing so thoroughly? My father also told me that what I have to learn after being transparent is how to pretend to be confused. In life, if you always see everything through, isn't it fun to lose it? Li Yizhe rested his chin on her shoulder and smiled, "Ah Yan only needs to do what he likes, and leave other things to me." ”
"It is better to ask for others than for yourself. What I like is reading, don't you want to make tea? What is the rubbing? Ruoyan only felt that Li Yizhe was next to her, and she couldn't read a word.
"Okay, I'll go soak it." Li Yizhe licked her earlobe lightly, and was in a good mood when she went to make tea.
Ruoyan turned the pages of the book, but she couldn't read it anyway. sat on the couch and watched Li Yizhe make tea.
Making tea is a delicate job that requires at least six processes.
One is the hot kettle, which needs to be scalded with boiling water before making tea, one can remove the peculiar smell in the kettle, and the other is that the hot kettle can help volatilize the aroma of tea.
The second is to put tea, generally the teapot spout used to make tea is smaller, you need to first put the tea into the tea lotus, at this time you can hand the tea lotus to the guest, appreciate the appearance of the tea, and then use the teaspoon to dial the tea leaves in the tea lotus into the pot, and the amount of tea is one-third of the pot. Then there is the warm cup, pour the hot water from the hot pot into the tea cup, and then warm the cup.
The most important step is high chong, brewing tea needs to be high lifting kettle, water from the high point bet, so that the tea in the pot tumbling, scattered, in order to more fully brew the tea flavor, commonly known as "high chong". This process is a kung fu work, if the water temperature is right, the appearance of the tea leaves will be very beautiful under the action of water.
The last is low bubble, the brewed tea soup can be poured into the tea cup, at this time the distance between the teapot spout and the tea cup, low is better, so as not to dissipate the aroma in the tea soup, commonly known as "low bubble". Generally, the first tea soup and the second tea soup are mixed in the tea cup, and the effect is better; The third tea soup is mixed with the fourth tea soup, and so on.
Even pouring tea is also a kung fu work, called "dividing tea", the tea soup in the tea cup is then divided into the cup, and the tea soup in the cup is full of seven points.
In this way, a cup of aroma is completed, and it is served with a cup holder and drunk while it is hot, so that the whole person is satisfied. Li Yizhe's work in making tea is excellent, and this set of actions is extremely smooth, so that people can't find any mistakes. It looks like he should be a veteran, compared to the tea master. It should look like it used to be.
"Ah Yan, can you taste it, is it delicious?" Li Yizhe held a cup of freshly brewed hot tea and handed it to her.
In addition to the golden tea soup, the tea in the cup also has a blooming flower, which is a jasmine, exuding a charming fragrance. A cup of tea is fragrant and beautiful. Ruoyan tasted it, and it was really sweet.
"Your Majesty, who did you learn this tea-making craft from? So masterful, often practiced? Ruoyan looked at him and asked suspiciously, "The first criterion for judging a good cup of tea is the speed of Shengjin. It's easy to get refreshed, and there are many reasons why it can be refreshed. The time from the entrance of the tea soup to the appearance of the sensation on the tongue is the speed of the birth. For the same variety, the faster the speed, the better.
And then there is the thoroughness of the sweetness. Really high-quality tea, from the beginning of the sweetness, the bitterness is completely over, there is no tongue adhesion, and there is a very sweet feeling in the taste.
There is also the degree of harmony of the aroma. The aroma of high-quality new Pu'er tea is drunk and then comes out of the throat, which lasts for a long time and is very refreshing. Do not feel unwell or unhappy after drinking tea.
and laryngeal depth and persistence. Tea with a deep throat sensation will not have a strong feeling in the mouth when you drink it, and the touch in the deep throat will last for a while.
Finally, whether the throat rhyme is elegant and long. After the sweetness of the throat melts, the sweetness and fragrance of the soothing sensation are also the key. Those who have no bottom rhyme are lost in vulgarity. The rhyme is based on comfort and purity, lasting stability. The longer the throat rhyme, the more stable the tea is. The more stable the tea, the purer the taste.
But in addition to the tea itself, it also depends on the level of the person who brewed it. If the tea-making effort is reached, even coarse tea can also have a good taste. I see that this tea is just an ordinary melon slice with jasmine added. The taste can reach this level, which should be related to His Majesty's tea-making skills. ”
"You're an expert." Li Yizhe took a cup and tasted it, "My father loves tea, so I will raise it under my father's knees, and I will always know how to serve him closely." I learned the kung fu of making tea thoroughly. Later, there was no one in the whole palace who could make tea better than me. This saved the mercy of his father. If one day you learn something as a life-saving talisman, you will naturally be able to reach this realm. It's all forced. ”
Li Yizhe looked lonely when he said this, and he felt a little sorry for him in his heart.
Now that this is in the past, there is no need to be sad about it. I've learned a lot of craft, you see, don't you use it now to please me? Ruoyan wanted to coax him.
In fact, how could Yu Ruoyan not be like this? Although she likes opera, she doesn't like singing. Later, the family road fell and had to find a way to survive. In order to live well, I learned the kung fu of singing to perfection. I used to think that I would never be involved in singing and playing with myself for the rest of my life, and I learned to be proficient.
"Ah Yan, this is coaxing me?" Li Yizhe chuckled lightly and joked, "Do you care about me?" ”
"It seems that the concubines are too careful, and Your Majesty is used to coaxing herself. How can you coax the concubines. "If the face is hard-mouthed.
"If I had known that you could look at me twice, I should have learned this trick earlier." Li Yizhe's eyes narrowed with laughter, "If you sell a pitiful one, it can make you feel distressed, and I will pity you every day, so that you can coax me every day." ”
"The concubine didn't say this, Your Majesty don't put a hat on the concubine." Ruoyan glared at him, she only felt pitiful because she had a problem in her brain, right? is such a person as Li Yizhe. Who can bully him? I'm afraid that I'm not playing with him, but I'm also afraid that he won't have fun.
"Okay, okay, Ah Yan didn't say it." Li Yizhe rubbed in front of her, "Then if I am miserable one day, I am so sad that I am about to die, will Ah Yan coax me?" Li Yizhe asked.
Ruoyan was stunned by his question, and only said, "Who can bully you?" Even a shrewd person like you, can anyone still calculate you? ”
"All I said was if, Yan, would you?" Li Yizhe looked at her, his eyes were full of expectation.
Ruoyan looked at such a pair of eyes, and the ghost made a surprise response: "Yes." ”
Li Yizhe clapped his hands with satisfaction like a child who had won candy: "That's good." Ah Yan, are you hungry? Shall I tell them to set the table? ”
"Your Majesty is in a hurry to say this." Ling Yin smiled and came in with a food box, "See Your Majesty's mother, Meng Zhaoyi's people have been here, this chicken soup is still hot!" Why don't you drink it while it's hot? Otherwise, it will be cold and hot later, and I am afraid that it will spoil the taste. ”
"What Meng Zhaoyi did is naturally good. Take it and try it first. Li Yizhe opened his mouth and smiled, "Try the poison for Ah Yan too." ”
"Yes." Ling Yin brought the chicken soup to the table, and the chicken soup was steaming hot, and it smelled fragrant. Ruoyan wanted to taste it, Li Yizhe took a sip of the bowl first, and who knew that it was just that mouthful, and Li Yizhe's face changed. He spit out the remaining half of the chicken soup and drank, "This soup is poisonous!" ”
Ruoyan was stunned for a moment, how could Sister Meng's soup be poisonous? But then Li Yizhe's face became more and more pale, and Gonggong Lin called the imperial doctor, and as soon as the imperial doctor came, Li Yizhe vomited a mouthful of blood. Ruoyan was so frightened that her soul was almost gone. Hurriedly hugged Li Yizhe and patted him on the back, so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Doctor, what's going on? What kind of poison is this? Ruoyan remembered pulling the imperial doctor's sleeve and said urgently.
