Chapter 714: Allusion

Suddenly, there was silence in the small banquet living room.

Boiling tea is a very elegant thing, and all of you here are the daughters of the family, and when you pay the most attention to your demeanor and face, when you don't care about your own body, everyone wants to show your knowledgeable side in front of others.

Therefore, at this time, no one spoke in the hall, only the sound of the piano flowed, ethereal and far-reaching.

An Sheng and Lu Jiamin sat opposite each other, their faces were all half-hidden in the heat, Lu Jiamin looked up at An Sheng, but he couldn't see An Sheng's expression clearly, but seeing An Sheng's calm and calm attitude, for some reason, his heart suddenly sank, and he always felt that something was out of his control......

Boiling white water, you can already start boiling tea.

Lu Jiamin saw An Sheng uncover the lid of the copper kettle with a cloth towel, and didn't want to fall behind with others, so he hurriedly moved on his own, no longer distracted, but he couldn't help but feel a little solemn between his movements, and there was a little more nervousness in his expression that he hadn't even noticed.

The subtle changes in the two of them, but outsiders don't know, in their eyes, the movements of these two people are like flowing water, and if you look closely, they seem to be indistinguishable from top to bottom.

For a while, most of the people who were joking in their hearts couldn't help but put away their playfulness and carefully watched the movements of the two.

A good tea master cooks tea, pays attention to smooth movements, precise starts, what kind of fragrance is matched, when all kinds of materials are added, how much is added, and what is added.

Xie Wanrong is obviously also proficient in this way, and the materials prepared are extremely complete, even the mint leaves are freshly picked.

However, it is not surprising that Wenfu has its own conservatory with herbs such as mint.

However, the fact that fresh mint leaves can still be seen in this winter day is enough to show the financial resources of the Wenfu.

This small mint leaf naturally aroused the envy and jealousy of the young ladies, and everyone saw that Xie Wanrong used this thing very casually, as if she didn't care much, and couldn't help but think in their hearts, this Xie Wanrong seems to be very loved by the Duchess of Wenguo, and in the future, when she marries into the Wen family, it must be extraordinary, and it is easy to offend.

With this understanding, in the future, these young ladies get along with Xie Wanrong, and they are even more careful, and they don't dare to offend her easily, which makes Xie Wanrong secretly a little surprised, but this is all a later story, so I won't mention it here for the time being.

Let's talk about An Sheng and Lu Jiamin.

After the two of them boiled the water, they were ready to start adding tea to decoction, and at the same time adding tea, they also put all the ingredients into the same boil.

This point is also quite controversial in the way of boiling tea, in this world, people's tastes are strange, even the best chef can not guarantee that the food he makes can be loved by the world, let alone boiling tea?

For example, some people like to drink strong tea, and some people prefer clear tea, so when making tea, what ingredients to add depends on the craftsmanship of the tea maker and the degree of understanding of the guests.

Lu Jiamin is still very confident at this time.

Although not all of these ladies here are familiar with her, most of them also have some personal relationships, poetry meetings, tea parties and even some banquets, and a few of them are her handkerchiefs, who have grown up together since childhood, even if she is not familiar with the preferences and tastes of these people, she is always better than An Sheng.

With this cognition, Lu Jiamin calmed down again.

She quickly selected the ingredients she wanted to add, put them into the tea powder, and prepared to decoction, after doing all this, she wanted to see what An Sheng had added, but unfortunately, when she looked up, An Sheng had already added the ingredients and began to decoction the tea soup, so she had to give up.

The tea soup needs to be boiled for a while, and after three boils, the bowl is turned and shaken to get the finished product.

At this time, the two of them stopped together, but they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

With their background, they naturally have some knowledge, and it is not unheard of that a good tea maker has never seen, but it is really eye-catching to see such a beautiful woman cooking tea, and everyone has a love for beauty.

These two people are wearing plain clothes today, with wide clothes and wide sleeves, but they are really shocked.

If it was on weekdays, Lu Jiamin would be secretly happy to get such an admiring and amazing gaze, but today half of this gaze is directed towards An Sheng, and she is really not happy.

But she has always been elegant and noble in front of outsiders, and she didn't want to lose her dignity for An Sheng, so she endured the anger in her heart and didn't show it.

The tea soup soon boiled again, and almost at the same moment, An Sheng and Lu Jiamin both lifted the lid of the pot, twisted the salt into it, and covered the lid again, which is called "one boiling".

When "the edge of the edge is like a spring with beads", it is "two boiling", An Sheng and Lu Jiamin each took a wooden spoon to scoop out a spoonful of boiling water, put it in a porcelain bowl on the side for later use, and began to stir the water in one direction, and stopped when there was a whirlpool in the center, scooped out the excess foam floating on it, and covered the pot again.

As everyone knows, when the "three boils" are waited, the tea soup is cooked, and then, turn the bowl and shake the incense, you can taste the cooked tea soup.

At this time, the fragrance of the tea soup had slowly wafted out of the pot, arousing the curiosity of the spectators, and Xie Wanrong had already instructed the kitchen to prepare suitable refreshments for later.

Everyone praised her thoughtfulness, Xie Wanrong said that there was nothing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

Just when everyone was waiting for the tea soup to be cooked, Miss Li suddenly clapped her hands.

The crisp sound drew everyone's attention together, and everyone saw Miss Li smiling mischievously, and said: "Everyone has been sitting for so long, it must be boring, I suddenly thought of a good idea to tell you, I don't know if you want to hear it?" ”

This was clearly to hang people's appetites, and the anxious young lady heard it, and shouted anxiously: "Since this is the case, you just say it directly, why bother to make everyone anxious?" ”

When the others heard this, they also echoed it, urging Miss Li to speak quickly.

Miss Li was urged by everyone, and she was not annoyed, but even more happy, which made Xie Wanrong's heart beat wildly twice, and she always felt that there was something in Miss Li's words.

Sure enough, she had just thought about it, and then she heard Miss Li say: "Actually, I also saw that everyone was tired of sitting, so I suddenly thought of an idea, but whether it can be done or not depends on whether Miss Lu and Miss Gu Er agree?" ”

When everyone heard her say this, there was nothing they didn't understand.

Miss Li said such things at this time, just for this competition.

Although An Sheng and Lu Jiamin did not say that they wanted to compete, everyone knew that this was clearly a tea art competition.
