Chapter 106: A Smile
Lin Xiaozhu didn't delay, picked up the third cup of tea, tasted it, raised his head and said: "This cup, the tea is the same as the original, but the water used is ordinary snow water." As for the other ......," he pondered for a moment, then continued, "but the water is boiled older than the others, and it seems to have been boiled for a long time before it is used to make tea." ”
"Haha, Lin Xiaozhu, I have completely convinced you. The water has been boiling for a long time, and you can taste it. Tang Ningyuan's eyebrows fluttered, and he didn't know that he thought it was him who tasted the tea, not Lin Xiaozhu.
Lin Xiaozhu didn't say much to him, rinsed his mouth, and directly picked up the fourth cup of tea. Although the room is warm and the tea is freshly poured, after a long time, the tea in the cup will become cold and affect the taste, and the tea in the pot will be soaked for too long will affect the taste of the tea soup. So she had to hurry.
"This cup of ......" has not yet tasted, she opened her mouth as soon as she saw the color of the soup, "The tea is the same as just now, it is still the Maofeng of Huangshan Mountain." Speaking of this, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yuan Tianye. I don't know if Yuan Tianye only has this kind of tea in the house, or because she has drunk this one, so for the sake of fairness, she only brews Huangshan Maofeng.
Lin Xiaozhu's results in the first three cups were too good, so it was not unusual to be able to tell that this was Huangshan Maofeng before tasting it. When the five men heard this, the expressions on their faces did not change, and even Tang Ningyuan, who liked the most color, was silent at this time.
Although he saw that the color of the tea soup was different, for the sake of safety, Lin Xiaozhu still tasted it and said, "The water used in this cup of tea is the well water in Gongzi's yard; However, the quality of the tea brewed is not as good as the first three cups, and the tea leaves are relatively old. ”
"Isn't it? This brews tea. When I drank it, there was no difference from the previous three dishes except for the difference in water quality. Tang Ningyuan twisted his eyebrows and said. Then, for fear that he would remember wrong, he took a cup, poured the tea in the pot, and tasted it carefully. It was indeed the tea that he had drunk, yes, he couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaozhu suspiciously.
Lin Xiaozhu smiled slightly, and glanced at Yuan Tianye again. If she guessed correctly, this pot of tea should have been made by Yuan Tianye himself. But this man is still a gentleman. didn't induce himself like Tang Ningyuan. And Tang Ningyuan's current performance is just a doubt, and he wants her to solve his doubts.
Since she was asked to explain, she explained, "The water quality is not good. Tea is not good either. But the person who makes tea is a master, whether it is the boiling degree of the water, or the temperature of the water in which the tea is made. The amount of tea and the time to make tea are just right, so drink it. Except for the watery taste, there is no difference between the plum fragrance, rosin fragrance and Qingchun of the first three courses. Visible. This superb tea-making skill can make up for the innate shortcomings. ”
"Wonderful, really wonderful." Tang Ningyuan didn't say anything except appreciation, staring at Lin Xiaozhu up and down, "Lin Xiaozhu, listen to what you mean, could it be that you are also a master of making tea?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu was not panicked, and said with a smile: "If someone keeps reciting the knowledge of making tea in your ear Tang Gongzi, you can be proficient in this way without brewing tea." ”
Yuan Tianye only stood there with a smile. He stared at Lin Xiaozhu quietly with his dark eyes, without saying a word.
Lin Xiaozhu had long been accustomed to his thoughtful and slightly scrutinizing gaze, and picked up the fifth cup of tea without care. took a sip and frowned slightly. raised his head and looked at Yuan Tianye: "Childe, this tea, but it's been a long time." It's always a year and a half to two years, right? And Childe's house was a little damp in the spring, and the tea was soaked. This tea, the soup is dull and gray, smells a little bit of old mold, the taste is light, and the tea fragrance is not there. It's a pity that it should be the same good tea as the first, second, and third courses. ”
"That's right, this is last year's pre-rain tea." Yuan Tianye nodded slightly and admitted directly.
"Hehe, you might as well try the next one." Tang Ningyuan stared at the next glass with an expectant look on his face.
It seems that the next drink is more difficult. Otherwise, Tang Ning, who had a certain recognition of her tongue, would not have shown such an expression. Lin Xiaozhu secretly thought, rinsed his mouth, picked up the cup of tea, and took a sip gently.
She pondered for a moment, then tilted her head and looked at Tang Ningyuan.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ningyuan hurriedly asked.
"This is the old tea from before the original, and then added plum snow and pine snow to brew." Lin Xiaozhu said. Seeing a flash of disappointment in Tang Ningyuan's eyes, her heart moved, and she opened another sentence, "But if you want to say that plum and pine and snow are mixed, the taste should not be so thin." Here, there should also be ordinary snow, and the ratio should be three equal. ”
Tang Ningyuan could only sigh: "It's all right." ”
"This is Ning Yuan's expression that reminded you." Lin Xiaozhu's expression changed, and he did not escape Yuan Tianye's gaze at all, and reminded him lightly on the side.
Lin Xiaozhu glanced at him and said with a little dissatisfaction: "If the son thinks that this tea Xiaozhu is cheating, it won't be good." ”
Yuan Tianye stared at her, and there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes: "This son is not a cheater, he is what he is." Even if you can coax Ning Yuan to tell you the answer, that's your ability, how can Ben Gongzi deny it? ”
Lin Xiaozhu was victorious and retracted his gaze with satisfaction: "That's good." ”
Ignoring Yuan Tianye's instantly darkened face, she picked up the seventh cup of tea, and after tasting it, she looked at Yuan Tianye in surprise: "Childe, when did you send someone to our yard to bring well water to make tea?" ”
When Tang Ningyuan heard this, he pointed to Yuan Tianye and said, "Cousin, what was in the urn just now was the well water in the courtyard where Lin Xiaozhu and the others lived?" After speaking, he quickly took two cups, poured some of the seventh and fourth cups, tasted them, and said to Lin Xiaozhu suspiciously: "These two courtyards, if you don't turn around and go straight, they are not far apart, how can you taste the difference between the well in your yard and the well water in this courtyard?" ”
"Although it is the same place, there are streams and small lakes in Childe's yard, there are many plants and trees, and the water smells clear, unlike the well water in our yard, rainwater, and water that rushes to the ground every day, all of which are immersed down, and the water quality is not as good as that in Childe's yard, the taste is dull and turbid, and there is a faint smell, very light earthy smell."
Tang Ningyuan listened to her explanation, tasted two cups of tea again, and finally put down the cup in frustration and arched his hand: "Willing to bow to the wind." And he said, "Seven cups, and the last one left." ”
Everyone's eyes were on the last glass.
The last cup should be the hardest. What will it smell like? Lin Xiaozhu curiously picked up the teacup.
Looking at the color of the soup, it is still the apricot yellow of Huangshan Maofeng, and the color is slightly darker. At first glance, the color seemed to be a little more yellow-green than the top Mao Feng, but when I looked closely, I suspected that I was dazzled just now. The translucency is not as simple as what I just saw, and it feels like it should be clear and translucent, but it seems to be covered with a thin veil that is invisible, as if it is nothing, which makes people not very real at a glance.
Brought the teacup to the nose and smelled it, the tea fragrance is very strong, high and long-lasting, and there is no other peculiar smell, it should be the top Mao Feng. But Lin Xiaozhu always felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that this tea color is slightly darker than other colors, which should be because there are too many tea leaves, so there is such a strong tea fragrance. But the clear height and durability are a little thinner than those soaked in top hair peaks. Thinking of the yellow-green touch she had just seen, she had a bottom in her heart.
Inhale a mouthful, hold it in your mouth, sip it carefully, and the mellow taste gradually spreads from the root of the tongue to the tip of the tongue, as if an ink painting has just been inked, allowing the thick and light ink to slowly soak on the paper, and the mouth is filled with the unique aroma of the top Mao Feng. This aroma is like a hundred grasses sprouting in spring, dewdrops rolling on the leaves, and then slowly rising in the warm sun, turning into mist, diffusing between the mouth, and the tip of the tongue has the fresh and pure breath of the vigorous growth of plants. In this smell, there is the fresh smell of the aromatic plant such as tea, as well as the plum blossoming plum, the pine that is not afraid of ice and snow, the crystal white snow that covers them, and the ...... In summer, the lotus leaves are like naughty children who are constantly rolling with the dewdrops, stained with a touch of lotus fragrance, with other water quality unprecedented cleanliness and clarity.
A knowing smile rippled from the corner of Lin Xiaozhu's mouth.
Regardless of whether she can get the silver reward or not, she has gained a lot from today's tasting. Is there anything better in the world than to have a tongue that tastes all kinds of flavors? What could be more touching than putting the best delicacy in the world on your tongue and giving your taste buds a sexual encounter?
There was silence in the room. Originally, everyone saw that after Lin Xiaozhu took a sip of tea soup, she closed her eyes, and everyone naturally held back their breath, for fear of disturbing her gentle dreams. However, everyone was stunned when they saw this smile, this delicate and beautiful smile that rippled from the snow-white skin like water waves, like a hundred flowers blooming in spring.
The women who are more beautiful than Lin Xiaozhu don't know how many they have, and their smiles are more touching than this smile, but Yuan Tianye feels that no smile can move him so much and pull his heartstrings. This is the Lingshan meeting, the Buddha picked up a golden Bora flower, his attitude was serene, but he didn't say a word. Everyone didn't understand what he meant, and they looked at each other, but Mahakala smiled lightly. The Buddha immediately announced that he would bestow the golden robes and bowls that he used in ordinary times to the Kasya. This is the realm of "smiling flowers".
What the Buddha preached is a state of mind that is most peaceful, tranquil, leisurely, and wonderful, which is pure and untainted, indifferent, open-minded, desireless, greedless, unrestrained, calm, formless, transcendent, unshakable, and eternal, which can only be perceived and comprehended, and cannot be expressed in words. Ka Ye's slight smile was precisely because he had comprehended this realm.
And now, Lin Xiaozhu smiled slightly, Yuan Tianye felt that he didn't need to use any more words, he had already felt the wonderful taste felt on the tip of Lin Xiaozhu's tongue, he had already felt the incomparable emotion contained in Lin Xiaozhu's heart, they had the same heart, they didn't need to repeat it. As long as they gently pluck the flowers, they can smile slightly. He only felt that there was no need for anything else between heaven and earth, and that with him and her, it would be complete.
(Discharged from the hospital today.) So, in order to celebrate my Hu Hansan's return, I decided to add more. That is, there is a shift in the afternoon or evening. (To be continued)
