Vinegared shredded potatoes, stir-fried asparagus, cucumbers, celery stir-fried beef, a small plate of each, plus a pot of fragrant chicken soup, filled the table.

After experiencing the fine operation of searching for recipes, concentrating on mastering the heat, and even weighing oil and salt with an electronic scale, Yin Shaoguang felt very tired, and the level of exhaustion was no less than that of completing a rigorous drug ingredient analysis experiment.

However, looking at Mu Tiancha's small appearance of staring at the table full of dishes and swallowing saliva, he was instantly filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

After a while, Yin Shaoguang really couldn't stand the silent atmosphere and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Mu Tiancha stopped his chopsticks and thought seriously for a while.

"Well, it's not salty or light, except for the cold dishes, it's all cooked through."

"I mean, do you like to eat?"

"Hehe, to be honest, it's not delicious. But the taste is very balanced, and I don't hate to eat it. ”

Mu Tiancha's honesty made Yin Shaoguang a little surprised, and indeed he didn't feel good about it.

"Well, the chicken soup is delicious, and the others are not delicious."

The two of them solemnly expressed their true feelings about the lunch, and then continued to eat in silence until all the plates were gone.

After the meal, Mu Tiancha began to clean up the kitchen. Yin Shaoguang was a little tired, leaning back on the sofa and pretending to sleep.

However, Yin Shaoguang was quickly woken up by the pleasant ringtone of his mobile phone, and it was the mobile phone that Mu Tiancha put on the coffee table that rang.

He got up neatly, picked up his phone, and walked into the kitchen.

"Cha Cha, phone?"

Mu Tiancha awkwardly raised her hand full of foam, a little anxious.

"Pick up?"

Mu Tingcha nodded.

Yin Shaoguang swiped the answer button, walked behind Mu Tiancha, and put the phone to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Cha Cha! Why aren't you in the teahouse? Come and save me! ”

On the phone, Yu Ruoqing's crying voice came out.

"What's wrong?"

"My grandfather didn't know how to make an appointment with the old man of the Yin family to come to the teahouse. I make them tea. ”

"My grandfather said that I didn't make it good, and that I wasted good tea in vain, and that I lied to him or something......"

"I cried, and I kept talking! He had never been like this before! ”

"And then?"

"Come on, make a pot of tea and plug my grandfather's mouth! When it comes to tea, he goes on and on! ”

Yin Shaoguang lowered his head and sniffed the girl's hair, his hand holding the mobile phone was very steady, and he didn't look impatient.

It wasn't until a "beep" sound came from the other end of the phone that he did

Lower your arm and hold your phone in your hand.

He could hear Fang Cai's phone call clearly.

"In the past?"

Mu Tiancha still held up her little paw and said, "I'll wash the dishes first?" ”

Seeing her like that, Yin Shaoguang held her with one hand, rubbed the top of her hair with his chin, and then walked out of the kitchen.

Mu Qiancha's face was still red with shame, and he continued his work with his hands and feet.

It had been an hour and a half since the two of them arrived at the old courtyard.

The two old men were drinking tea with Mu Jiamu, and Yu Ruoqing was gone, and I didn't know if she was still there.

The two went to the tea table, greeted a few elders politely, and then sat down.

Just a little thirsty, three cups of tea down, Mu Tiancha squinted his eyes with great satisfaction. She secretly looked at Yu Ruoqing's grandfather, a very kind old man, not like a person who cried his granddaughter fiercely.

Old Man Yin's eyes turned back and forth between his grandson and Mu Tiancha, and his smile was a little meaningless.

Mu Jiamu seemed to be engrossed in making tea, but in fact, he was panicked, and it was not good to show it in front of Old Man Yin.

Yu Ruoqing heard the movement, and also went out of the middle courtyard, hiding behind the door and waving to Mu Pour tea.

Mu Tiancha greeted politely and got up to find Yu Ruoqing.

Yu Ruoqing pulled Mu Tiancha into a private room in the middle courtyard, wrinkling her little face and looking unhappy.

"Cha Cha, I make tea exactly according to your steps, why is there such a big difference? I am also a certified senior tea master for several years! I don't think that pot of tea tastes good myself! ”

Mu Tiancha thought for a while and said, "Brew it again, I'll take a look?" ”

Yu Ruoqing thinks about it, but it is indeed too abstract to describe it simply.

Quickly took out the tea leaves, took out the purple clay pot from the cabinet in the private room, and began to brew.

Her movements are elegant and smooth, and her sitting posture is also very stable, which looks like a posture that often makes tea.

Mu Tiancha didn't speak, carefully watched her every movement, and drank every cup of tea.

When Yu Ruoqing rushed to the eighth brew, Mu poured tea to make her stop, and then began to explain.

"The problem with your pot of tea is first of all to wake up the tea."

"Throwing the tea into the scalding pot to dry up for a while is mainly to let the dry tea stretch out in the water vapor, and the fragrance breaks through the barriers formed on the surface of the tea during the storage process."

"When you scald the kettle, the bottom of the pot was not poured clean, and the fragrance couldn't come out."

Yu Ruoqing recalled carefully, it was indeed like this.

"The second is the water temperature."

"This tea is stored for more than 20 years, and you can use boiling water directly when brewing, as long as the water in the kettle is no longer churning, you can fill it with water, and you don't have to wait for the water temperature to drop too much."

"When pouring water, it should be evenly injected along the side of the spout, and try to avoid pouring directly on the tea leaves; The waterline does not need to be raised, so that the water temperature will drop. ”

"Then it's time for the soup."

"The first brew you came out of the soup too quickly, and you didn't brew the rich taste of the tea, and I felt that the water and the soup were thin."

"The second brewing soup is slow, and the tea soup is too thick."

"Then the third bubble starts, no matter how you soak it, the taste can't come out."

Yu Ruoqing was a little frustrated.

"This tea can be brewed for more than 20 brews if you master it well. You've just taken your eighth bubble, and the taste and texture are no different from the tail water twenty bubbles away. ”

"Pu'er tea is balanced, and the heat of each brew is just right, and the wonderful aroma and taste can last for a long time."

After listening to Mu Dumping's words, Yu Ruoqing was devastated by the blow.

She raised her head and asked, "Cha Cha, this tea is not cheap, is it?" I'm thinking about practicing my hands a few more times, and maybe I'll be able to soak it up. The loss of tea you deduct from my salary? ”

Mu Tiancha put one hand on the tea table, thought for a few seconds, and said: "It's really not too expensive, the Chuncheng store is only 981 kilograms, and the price is the same here." ”

Yu Ruoqing's eyes widened instantly, and the hand holding the purple clay pot trembled.

Mu Tiancha glanced at the lid of the pot that fell on the soft bamboo mat spread on the kettle, and continued: "This entry-level all-handmade faucet gossip old purple mud, my dad only had 16,000 when he bought it at that time, and he has been raising it for five or six years. But the author of this pot was rated as a national arts and crafts artist three years ago, and now he is a legendary master? ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruoqing reflexively left her hand off the purple clay pot, then carefully lifted the lid of the pot, carefully looked at it and saw that it was not cracked, and put the lid back on the pot.

With a sad face, she said, "I know why my grandfather is so excited!" ”

"Just now, with a shake of my hand, I wasted hundreds of tea leaves, and almost dropped more than 10,000 pots? No, this pot has to be revalued! ”

"Cha Cha, is it too late for me to resign now?"

"It's too late! I'm going to hire you as our family's chief tea master! ”

"But ......"

"No, but, you have a solid foundation, and you can soak it up with more practice."

"Practice with that ninety-eight?"

"Hehe, you think beautiful......"
