It turned out that Mrs. Luo's mother's family recommended a powerful tea master earlier, specializing in teaching Cen Erniang a few tea-splitting skills, Cen Sanniang, who has no talent in other things, is quite talented in dividing tea, although the learning time is not long, but it is already a small success, I heard that I can already point out a "gold" jade "full house" on the tea soup!

This technique of dividing tea and fighting tea was prevalent in this dynasty, especially loved by literati and scholars. Therefore, the technique is quite popular in the noble family of the high 'door', such as the Cen family, a big family with a high 'door', will ask famous teachers to guide their own girls and young masters to share tea. The upper-class scholars who boasted of being elegant and noble were even more proud of their ability to divide tea.

Cen Sanniang's 'sex' has always been very flamboyant, and she can't hide anything, so as soon as she learns a little successfully, she clamored to hold a tea party, and she wants to 'show' her hand in front of Cen Wuniang, Liang Jingxian and others.

Mrs. Luo has always been very fond of Cen Sanniang, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to let Cen Sanniang show her skills in dividing tea, so she agreed to Cen Sanniang's request without saying a word, not only asked Chen's mother to organize a tea party for Cen Sanniang in person, but also personally invited Liang Jingxian and others.

But it was said that Cen Sanniang and Gu Zheng competed a few times, and after Cen Erniang's teaching, they gradually admired Gu Zheng, no longer hated Gu Zheng as much as they did at the beginning, and the relationship with Gu Zheng was unconsciously much better......

After the relationship between the two gradually got better, Cen Sanniang did not reject Gu Zheng as much as before, although she and Gu Zheng were not good sisters, and they would turn their faces and be angry at any time because of some small contradictions, but Cen Sanniang must share with Gu Zheng as soon as she has anything, this time she proposed to hold a tea party, and the first one to invite was Gu Zheng, unlike Cen Siniang, who was the last to receive Cen Sanniang's invitation.

The so-called tea party is nothing more than choosing a 'shade' cool and ventilated water pavilion in the garden, placing colorful brocade mats, carp playing lotus sandalwood tea 'beds', Dingbai porcelain tea cups and eight-edged fine 'flower' purple clay pots, gluttonous beast-faced copper tea stoves, as well as bamboo tea roasting, silver tea cages, golden anvil vertebrae, golden tea bells, silver tea milling and golden teaspoons, and porcelain soup bottles and other tea utensils; Then put a table full of refreshments and fruits, and a group of people gathered together to have some fun and taste tea.

Of course, after everyone gathered and warmed up, the protagonist of this tea party, Cen Sanniang, had to 'show' his hand in front of the big guys, only to see that Cen Sanniang sat in front of the tea 'bed' generously, and ordered the maid Li'er to boil boiling water to rinse the tea bottle and tea cup.

Li'er rinsed the tea set, Cen Sanniang had already taken a ball of dragon and phoenix group tea, methodically roasted the tea cake and crushed it finely, and then used a golden teaspoon to spoon the tea into the purple sand tea that was divided into two layers and the bottom of the upper layer with several holes, and rinsed the tea powder with a little boiling soup for a while, so that the impurities of the tea flowed down the small holes to the lower layer......

After Cen Sanniang put the washed tea powder into the porcelain tea bowl, she did not forget to glance at Cen Wuniang proudly, and generously showed off her tips for dividing the tea: "Put the washed tea powder for a while before making tea, and then it will be more able to send out the tea fragrance and make the tea fragrance overflow!" ”

After Cen Sanniang finished speaking, she took the soup bottle with a handle and a long stream to fry the soup, and did not forget to introduce Gu Zheng, who was curious and knew little about tea sharing: "This tea drinking water is very particular, and it must be slowed down and boiled by live fire!" Even boiling water has the 'three boils'! ”

This tea-splitting technique is no longer widely spread after the Song Dynasty, and it is almost lost in the 21st century where Gu Zheng is located, so Gu Zheng has really only heard of the saying of dividing tea, and has never seen it with his own eyes......

This made Gu Zheng very curious when he saw Cen Sanniang's decent tea, and couldn't help but lean over and ask: "Third sister, what is 'three boils'?" ”

Cen Sanniang saw Gu Zheng, who had always been omnipotent and better than her in everything, and when she didn't know how to ask her for advice, she immediately subconsciously 'stiffened' her 'chest', and replied proudly: "This is my master's exclusive secret, never passed on, you have to listen carefully——— these three boils are so distinguished: the water boiling like a fish is 'one boiling', the edge is like a spring gushing for 'two boiling', and the churning splash is 'three boiling'......"

Cen Sanniang carefully recalled the words taught by the master as she spoke, and only after confirming that she remembered it correctly did she shake her head, pretending to be deep, and then explained: "After the three boils, the fire side is 'handed over', and the kettle is only blazing. ”

Although Gu Zheng doesn't know much about dividing tea, she is not stupid and understands it at one point: "Is this 'tender water' the most suitable for ordering tea?" What if you don't take this tender water that has been boiled three times? ”

Liang Jingxian on the side obviously knows this, as soon as Gu Zheng showed interest in dividing tea, he took the initiative to answer and explained: "If the water is over ten boiling, the soup has lost its 'nature', which is called "old water", and the old water cannot give out the fragrance of tea, which will greatly reduce the quality of good tea...... Look, it's time to order tea! ”

As soon as Liang Jingxian reminded, Gu Zheng hurriedly moved his gaze to Cen Sanniang again, only to see Cen Sanniang holding the pot in one hand to make the boiling water from top to bottom, and directly pouring the boiling water into the rabbit cup containing the tea powder, while brewing, using a bamboo tea whisk or silver teaspoon to stir in the ring, so that the soup noodles appeared an infinite picture of change——— tea and water meet, and on the surface of the rabbit cup conjured up a strange and strange, virtual and real picture, like a light and elegant danqing and like a strong cursive script, so that Gu Zheng was amazed and amazed!

Liang Jingxian, an expert on the side, quickly saw the 'door' coming, and whispered next to Gu Zheng: "She should want to point out a golden 'jade' full hall, you look at the upper left corner, there is already a goldfish with a tail." ”

Liang Jingxian didn't say that Gu Zheng really didn't see any 'door' path, as soon as he said it, Gu Zheng immediately felt that the white 'colored' soup 'flower' floating in the upper left corner really looked like a goldfish playing with its tail!

As soon as Cen Sanniang pointed out the tail tail goldfish in the tea soup, everyone 'revealed' the "color" of amazement, and they were all impressed by her, even Zhao Hongyue was impressed by Cen Sanniang, and praised her without hesitation!

However, Cen Wuniang was amazed and soon became jealous of Cen Sanniang, thinking that if she also had the opportunity to get the guidance of the tea master recommended by the Luo family, she would definitely not be worse than Cen Sanniang when she came to share the tea today! It's a pity that Mrs. Luo hid her 'private' and only let the famous tea master 'private' guide Cen Erniang's daughters.

The more Cen Sanniang thought about it, the more unwilling and jealous she became, and when she saw Cen Sanniang, who had already separated the second goldfish, she was touted by everyone like a starry moon, and couldn't help but secretly bit her lip——— you can't let Cen Sanniang continue to be in the limelight in front of everyone, otherwise how can Liang Jingxian see her in the eyes in the future?"

With crooked thoughts and bad thoughts, Cen Wuniang immediately seized the opportunity to squeeze to Cen Sanniang's side, and without waiting for Cen Sanniang to completely divide the tea and show a complete piece of gold 'jade' in front of everyone, she pretended to accidentally tilt her body heavily towards Cen Sanniang's body, not only squeezing Cen Sanniang to the side, but also squeezing all the things on the tea 'bed' overturned...... This little accident also made Cen Sanniang's hand shake, completely destroying the original flawless masterpiece!

As soon as Cen Wuniang stood firm, she apologized to Cen Sanniang with a guilty face without waiting for Cen Sanniang to accuse her: "Third sister, I'm really sorry, Li'er Tu, who was standing behind me before, leaned forward on tiptoe and wanted to see the third sister's ability to divide tea...... I never thought that she didn't stand firm for a while and accidentally pushed me, so that my whole person accidentally leaned forward, bumped into the third sister, and broke the work that the third sister was about to complete. ”

This Cen Wuniang didn't fall early or late, but she fell down when Cen Sanniang was about to shine when she was about to shine, saying that she didn't mean it, Cen Sanniang didn't believe it!

Especially as soon as Cen Wuniang deliberately destroyed her masterpiece, she pretended to look guilty and angry, and even hung two tears to win everyone's sympathy——— Cen Wuniang pretended to be pitiful and weak when she hung tears, if Cen Sanniang did not forgive her "unintentional mistakes", she would turn into a narrow-minded person.
