Chapter 3 The so-called tea appreciation
Xu Huai'an was indignant: "Nonsense! Qing Ming is good for me?! ”
"Young master," Chang Yi was very faceless, "Do you believe this yourself?" ”
"Believe it."
"Answer with a good conscience."
"I have no conscience!"
Long memory: "......"
Xu Huai'an looked sweet: "Where is my heart in Qingming?" ”
Chang Yi shook goosebumps all over his body, he didn't want to talk to him, and he didn't know if the disease was contagious, so it was better to stay away.
Xu Huai'an saw that the only person who could listen to him left, and hurriedly chased after him: "Hey! You girl don't know how to count etiquette! Be careful that Master Ben punishes you! ”
Chang Yi watched Xu Huai'an grow up, so he naturally understood his temperament, and he would not punish her, but it was possible to ask for something, so Chang Yi was followed by him to see how long he could endure it.
Sure enough, Xu Huai'an couldn't bear it for a while, and he said slowly: "Sister Changyi-"
Young Master Xu is willful, this "sister" has not been called for many years, and he is only willing to open Chrysostom when he begs her.
"What?"
"What do you girls like? What can I do to please me? ”
Chang Yi sighed, sure enough, it was still about An Qingming.
"Young master, Miss An is not an ordinary girl, and she can't look down on what ordinary girls like."
It is more difficult to please Miss An than to please the Queen Mother, this Changyi is not only embarrassed to say it to hit him, but also afraid that he will impulsively ask his father to write an excerpt into the palace and ask the Queen Mother what she likes.
The young master of her family may be able to do it.
Chang Yi sighed and sighed softly, and comforted: "After seeing people's hearts for a long time, and getting along for a long time, Miss An will definitely be able to see your mind." ”
"It's been five years."
It's been five years.
Spring goes to autumn, the white horse passes by, and time is the most unforgiving.
It has been five years since An Qingming was really in charge, and the reputation of "Moon Drink" is getting better and better day by day, the business of An Family is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and the reputation of Miss An is getting louder and louder day by day.
Sanjiang County is located in Huainan, the tea industry is prosperous, if you want to talk about which tea industry is the most outstanding, it is definitely Anjia.
The Great Xia Dynasty was in the prime of life, the wind and rain were smooth and the sea was clear, the people were open, and although the merchants were the end of the four people, they were also helped, and not many people looked down on them.
Five years ago, Mr. An died suddenly due to illness, relatives and uncles fought for power, there were tigers and wolves waiting for the opportunity to move, and jackals and leopards were eyeing each other, and the huge Anjia house left two orphans and widows.
At that time, the eldest girl of the An family was still a thirteen-year-old child, and her indifferent little face looked at a group of people who were vain, waiting for the opportunity to devour the An family's business, borrowing a year's time to go to the shopping mall, taking charge of the family business, and the eldest girl of the An family was famous, and now it has been five years.
Eighteen years old, old girl.
An Qingming sighed secretly, and the azaleas outside the window swept across her palm, trembling slightly.
When Mrs. An entered the door, she saw An Qingming standing in front of the window, and couldn't help but say: "The wind is cool in front of the window, watch your body." ”
An Qingming came back to her senses and reached out to help her: "Mother? How did you get here? ”
Mrs. An sat down with her hand and coughed twice before saying, "I can't lie on the bed all the time, my body has improved in the past few days, so I want to come out and take a look." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned the maid behind him: "Taste it, I'll make it for you." ”
It's a plate of lotus root cake.
When Mrs. An saw her reach out and take it, she patted her hand away and said, "How old a person is, he still uses his hands, like a child." ”
An Qingming smiled and took the silver chopsticks: "It's a child!" ”
Mrs. Ann's eyes smiled at her childish coquettish words, dispelling the slightest sickness.
"My bones are getting worse and worse day by day, so I'll make more of them as soon as I can make them for you to eat. In the past, when your father was here, you two liked to eat this sweet and greasy thing, and you rushed to eat it......"
An Qingming listened to her words, and after a pause in her hand, half of the lotus root cake stuck to her throat, unable to go up or down, and panicked.
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Mrs. An patted her daughter's hand and pushed the broken hair from her forehead behind her ear: "You, you're not small." Don't always spend time settling in, if you ...... Even if I leave, I won't feel at ease, how can I explain to your father? He bought you so much dowry just to see you as a new ......"
"Mother!"
The silver chopsticks slammed on the porcelain plate, making a crisp sound.
Mrs. An wiped her tears with a handkerchief, An Qingming had a good meal, and finally coaxed Mrs. An to be happy, and went back to the room, An Qingming stood expressionless in front of the table for a moment, and with a wave of her hand, the vase and porcelain on the table jingled and fell all over the ground.
An Qingming breathed a sigh of relief.
The mother's illness has not improved, some people's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and the Song family tea garden in Linxian County is pressing step by step, and the burden on her shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.
In the past few days, the rain has continued one after another, and the fine rain silk seems to have spread a net all over the world, covering the entire Sanjiang County tightly.
An Qingming opened the window, but the rain was dense but silent, she held a pen in one hand, opened the account book with the other, and checked it carefully.
Just after noon, the personal maid Hitomi came to knock on the door, saying that the eldest prince of the county order was here.
An Qingming remembered that she had agreed with Xu Huai'an today, she sent Tong'er to get some tea, locked the account book by herself, stood up, took two steps towards the front hall and turned around, and went to the bedroom to change her shirt.
The rain hits the plantains, and the dew reflects the new green.
Xu Huai'an heard someone shouting at him, and as soon as he looked up, he saw An Qingming in a tender green Luo shirt approaching, fresh as a gust of wind to cool off, with mint fragrance.
Xu Huai'an's teacup was almost not steady, and he stood up in a panic: "Qing ...... Miss Ann, are you here? ”
An Qingming apologized first: "It's Qingming who is late, and Xu Gongzi has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Not long after," Xu Huai'an hurriedly said, "I'm waiting for comfort." ”
It's very comfortable, he sits on the chair and sipps tea, thinking about this chair maybe Qingming has sat on, this cup may have touched Qingming, all he can see is Qingming day and night opposite things, he is very comfortable, from the heart to the throat and eyes are full of bubbles.
An Qingming saw that Xu Huai'an was covered with rain, and remembered that when he came in, he didn't see the little guy next to him, nor did he see the paper umbrella he carried, so he was concerned.
Xu Huai'an was a little flattered because of this sentence, and when the words came to his lips, he turned around and changed his words: "I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't care about anything, and when I saw that the rain was not heavy, I ran over directly." ”
What was he in a hurry to do, he didn't point it out, and his bright eyes hung on An Qingming like a hook.
Although he was stained with rain, it was only concentrated in the corners and sleeves of his robe, and the rest of the place was still dry.
An Qingming pretended not to see anything, and said, "Really? That Xu Gongzi's feet are very fast, have you ever practiced light skills? ”
"Not really." Xu Huaian didn't understand why this topic turned so quickly, so he could only answer honestly.
An Qingming glanced at him meaningfully, and did not say anything more, leaving Xu Huaian full of doubts.
Just when Xu Huai'an was seen by her to stand upside down and sit still, Hitomi came in with a tray, and a few small jars the size of teacups were placed on it, An Qingming asked Hitomi to put things down, and motioned for Xu Huai'an to step forward.
Xu Huai'an looked dazed: "What is this?" ”
An Qingming couldn't afford to roll her eyes anymore.
This idiot, obviously the reason for making an appointment is to learn to appreciate tea, but when he sees tea, he shows such an ignorant look.
"Tea, didn't Xu Gongzi come to learn to appreciate tea today?"
"Huh?" Xu Huai'an finally remembered what the excuse for today's appointment was, his mind was full of seeing Qingming today, happy! Excited! Agitated...... Where do you remember what the excuse was used, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, tea and tea, then let's start now?" ”
"Why don't you give Xu Gongzi some refreshments first?"
Xu Huai'an: "Is it so polite?" ”
An Qingming: "......"
"Hahaha......" Xu Huaian laughed dryly, "Then let's start, let's start." ”
An Qingming said: "Looking at the tea, we are divided into 'wet looking' and 'dry looking', and the good and bad can be distinguished from the taste, shape, color, soup, and bottom. Xu Gongzi first smelled the difference in the taste of these cans of tea. ”
The tip of Xu Huai'an's nose moved slightly, and he sniffed one can after another, like when he was looking for food.
After a long time, he hesitated: "It's no different, it's all the taste of tea." ”
He saw that An Qingming's expression was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "My nose is not very good, and everything that smells salty is sweet!" What's the other way? One for the other! ”
An Qingming said: "Even so, it doesn't hurt to change the way. ”
She called Tong'er to take the teapot again, and motioned for Xu Huai'an to come closer, Xu Huai'an saw her pick up one of the purple sand teapots, holding the teacup in her hand, and said while pouring tea: "Mr. Lu Yu once said, boil tea, its water, use mountainwater, river water, well water. This is the spring water that the servants of the family went to the mountains to pick up, and the taste of tea is not easy to disperse. ”
An Qingming handed the teacup to Xu Huai'an: "Taste it." ”
Xu Huai'an took it cautiously, looking at An Qingming with sparkling eyes, An Qingming said, "See what I do?" Look at the tea. ”
Xu Huai'an let out an "oh", picked up the teacup and drank it all.
An Qingming: "......" Lao Niu drinks water more than this, and feels sorry for her good tea.
Xu Huai'an, who swallowed it, praised again and again exaggeratedly: "Good tea, good tea!" It's extraordinary! ”
An Qingming suspected that this cup of tea had passed his throat, and he didn't even taste it.
Xu Huai'an said: "I'll just say, although my nose is not good, but my mouth is smart, I know it is a famous product when I taste it." ”
An Qingming pinched another teapot and poured it for him to drink: "Try this." ”
Xu Huai'an took the tea and recalled An Qingming's actions just now.
When she made the first cup of tea, she looked focused, caressing the teacup with one hand, and looked very cherishing. And when she made the second cup of tea, she moved quickly, and handed him the cup casually without even looking at it.
Instantly had an idea in his heart, and after the tea was in his stomach, Xu Huai'an pretended to be so deep that he frowned: "This tea ...... It's not good, it's not as good as the tea just now, and it's not a grade when you taste it. ”
After speaking, he stole An Qingming's expression.
An Qingming stared at him with a smile and asked, "Really?" ”
"Naturally, take it seriously."
"Xu Gongzi made it himself?"
"That's for sure."
An Qingming poured herself a cup of tea with two pots, and took a sip of each with a smile: "The same tea, the same spring water, the same temperature, the same clay pot, Xu Gongzi thinks there is a difference between these two cups of tea." Qing Ming is only a shallow learner, and I hope that Xu Gongzi will give me more advice. ”
Xu Huai'an: "......" So this is a set.
