Chapter Twenty-Four: Tea, Memory

Murong Zhi returned to the room after exercising, and when she sat at the table and waited for Hanyue to prepare something for the bath, she poured herself a cup of tea by the way, looking at the slightly rippling tea, she couldn't help but think of Jin Xia......

It was also an early spring morning, a rare weekend, Su Xiaomo woke up but didn't want to get up, "Ding Dong"! Su Xiaomo picked up her phone and looked at it, it turned out to be Jin Xia's news-

"Xiaomo, are you awake?"

"Well, no." The corners of Su Xiaomo's mouth rose slightly.

"And who is the lazy pig who is replying to the message now?"

"Uh-huh, it's getting more and more skinny, huh?" Hmph, I dare to say that I am a lazy pig.

"I'm so happy to skin it/"

"Xiao Xiazi, if you don't fight for a day, you go to the house to uncover the tiles, isn't it/"

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm floating/"

"The bed kidnapped me, come and escort me."

"It's too late to save the driver, but it's still here, Mo'er, come and open the door."

"Aha?" This style of painting is changing a little fast! "When-" The doorbell rang, and Su Xiaomo went to open the door with a bird's nest. "Ahh Su Xiaomo hurriedly closed the door, but it was not as fast as Jin Xia's hand.

"Su Xiaomo, do you dare to close the door and try?" Jin Xia looked at Su Xiaomo provocatively, Su Xiaomo lowered her head and pouted.

"What are you that I haven't seen before? What's there? Jin Xia smiled and rubbed Su Xiaomo's bird's nest.

"Oops! Don't rub it, it's already so messy. ”

"Okay, okay, you go wash up, I'll buy you breakfast, and then I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are you going?" Su Xiaomo suddenly came to her senses.

"I won't tell you." After Jin Xia finished speaking, he took the door to buy breakfast.

"Hmph, it's a mysterious ...... again" Although he complained, the movements in his hands sped up, and his heart was happy.

An hour later—

"Wow! Are these tea trees? Su Xiaomo walked among all kinds of trees, bathed in the fragrance of tea.

"Yes, this tea garden has just opened today, and I heard that there is also a tea ceremony master cooking tea here, and today we will also come to vassal Fengyabei."

"Vassal?" Hearing this, Su Xiaomo playfully stuck out her tongue at Jin Xia, and Jin Xia smiled dotingly.

As you enter the depths of the tea garden, it becomes more and more quiet, and people's impetuous hearts become more and more peaceful. While Su Xiaomo sighed-

"Here we are." Jin Xia pointed to the wooden house not far away, then took Su Xiaomo's little hand and walked towards the wooden house. Su Xiaomo looked at the hand held by Jin Xia, and raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction. When she got closer, Su Xiaomo found an old man sitting in a wooden house cooking tea, and two students kneeling beside him. Although Su Xiaomo didn't know much about the tea ceremony, he was very novel and looked very seriously, and after a while, Jin Xia pulled Su Xiaomo and signaled that he could go in and watch. It turned out that Jin Xia saw that Su Xiaomo was serious, so he asked the master inside, and the master was also a good talker. After they entered the wooden house, the master began to talk eloquently: "This tea ceremony is originally Chinese culture, but it was learned by Japan and carried forward, so now Japan's tea ceremony is also famous all over the world, but as the ancestor of tea, how can the Chinese forget?" In fact, there are still differences between Chinese tea cooking and Japanese tea ceremonyThe difference between Japanese tea ceremony and Chinese tea culture is mainly in four aspects, namely connotation, constituent elements, production technology and genre. There are five elements of the Japanese tea ceremony: tea food, tea ordering, camellia, architecture, and utensils. The so-called tea food refers to one soup and three dishes, namely miso soup, cold vegetables, stewed vegetables, and grilled fish. Ordering tea refers to the stove and hearth (the hearth is used from November to the month of the following year, and the wind stove is used from May to October). Camellia refers to the flower that is inserted when cooking tea according to the month. Otome Tsubaki in January, cauliflower in February (February 28, Rikyu Death Day), Red Otome Tsubaki in March, Peony in April, Tani Sogi and Oyama in May, Ki Tenkin and Thistle in June, Ya Mango, Maiden Flower, Bellflower and Begonia, and Ota in July, Jade Hydrangea and Golden Water in August, Red Hibiscus in September, Sakura, Begonia, and Autumn Kirin in October, White Tsubaki in November, and Tsubaki in December. Architecture refers to tea gardens and tea rooms, which are equivalent to the places where tea is waited and tasted in China. The Tao has niches, boiling water, adding charcoal, ordering tea, tea and other major categories. These categories can be further subdivided: niches have hanging scrolls, vases, incense boxes, boiling water, wind stoves, hearths, tea kettles, and furnace ashes; There are charcoal buckets, kettle rings, fire chopsticks, kettle mats, and ash vessels; There are strong tea cans, tea cans, thin tea boxes, tea storage boxes, tea bowls, tea spoons, tea brushes, clear water cans, water injections, water spoons, water spoon tubes, kettle lids, sewage tanks, tea towels, silk towels, tea set racks, strong tea cans, tea cans; Tea affairs are divided into two categories: tea garden and tea food. The tea garden has hot water buckets, buckets, water spoons, open hats, open straw shoes, open clogs, round seat cushions, tea food has a food table, rice bowl, sauce soup bowl, stew bowl, clear soup bowl, rice utensils, rice spoons, pot soup pots, hospitality discs, hospitality long plates, cold dishes, wine pots, wine glasses, cup tables, grilled fish plates, wine plates, vegetable bowls, pickle bowls, middle section chopsticks, two-pointed chopsticks, tail chopsticks, rice cho......psticks, "The master talked a lot about the knowledge of tea cooking technology, although it is like a spring breeze, But Su Xiaomo, who is a scumbag, also has a headache. I don't remember very clearly some of the techniques of cooking tea later. However, the master's last sentence, "Young people, you come and try it." It made Su Xiaomo's heart tremble.
