Chapter 93: You're Not Wrong, Are You? Yellow tea?
For tea, Bai Yueling can be said to be quite proficient.
However, in front of Mrs. Xia, she didn't dare to boast of her ability, so she still had to be modest, and replied with a smile calmly: "Aunt Tang is smiling, Ling'er only understands tea." ”
Mrs. Xia listened to the little girl's answer, and did not stop the movements in her hand, while carrying the kettle to the tea set, she asked again: "Does Ling'er know when tea began to originate?" ”
The origin of tea, according to Lu Yu's "Book of Tea", originated from Shennong, and it was written in the book: Tea is drinking, originating from Shennong's.
However, if you answer like this, it will seem too ordinary, Bai Yueling thought about it, smiled, and replied: "It is said: Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, encounters seventy-two poisons every day, and gets tea to solve it." ”
Although it is just a sentence, it is different from the ordinary way of answering, which makes Mrs. Xia feel that it is not simple when she hears it.
The corners of her mouth raised an appreciative smile, and she praised: "It seems that Ling'er's understanding of tea is not just a little understanding. ”
Bai Yueling naturally wouldn't be proud, after all, he had to disguise his erudition in front of the Shen family in order to slap his face more strongly.
Thinking about it, she chuckled again, pretending to be modest: "Ling'er just happened to have read a few tea books. ”
Such a modest answer made Mrs. Xia feel even more that the little girl in front of her did not have an in-depth understanding of tea simply because she had read a few tea books, but had really studied it carefully.
In order to confirm her thoughts, she continued to ask, "What kind of tea does Ling'er like?" ”
Bai Yueling knows all the varieties of tea, green, green, black, yellow, black, white and flower tea.
However, she did not choose to name some particularly famous teas, such as Longjing in Hangzhou Mansion, but chose to name a relatively niche tea.
Bai Yueling said indifferently: "Compared with green tea with a pure taste, Ling'er prefers yellow tea with a relatively mellow taste, especially Huoshan Yellow Buds, Ling'er likes it the most." ”
Listening to the little girl's mouth, she actually said the four words Huoshan Huangya, and the look of surprise on Mrs. Xia's face was already overflowing.
Not to mention the Shen family, she had never heard of it at all, and there was any yellow tea.
Almost subconsciously and instinctively, Shen deliberately asked, "Ling'er, you're not wrong, right?" Yellow tea? ”
In her eyes, there are only green tea, black tea, oolong tea and flower tea, where do you know what yellow tea is.
However, just when Shen was proud and felt that he could make Bai Yueling embarrassed, Mrs. Xia, who was making the tea set, corrected it seriously: "Ling'er is right, there is indeed yellow tea." ”
In this way, it seemed that Shen was particularly ignorant, and the look on his face became a little embarrassed.
But because this sentence came out of Mrs. Xia's mouth, she couldn't question it, so she could only cooperate and pretend to be surprised: "Really? Then I'm really lonely, and I must study hard with my cousin today. ”
As she spoke, she also turned her head and glanced at Bai Yueling on the side, only thinking that the little slut could say such a thing because she was bored in the house and read too many books, so she stumbled into it by mistake, right?
As for Mrs. Xia, she didn't bother to say too much to Shen, who didn't understand tea, so she ended the action of making tea utensils and began to take tea.
Then, he asked: "Ling'er likes Huoshan Yellow Buds, which is also good, but does Ling'er know that this Huoshan Yellow Buds also has certain shortcomings?" ”
