Chapter 64: The Mysterious Master
Yiyi held the bud glass cup, and a refreshing fragrance of tea wafted out, and took a sip gently, with a clear and sweet aftertaste. She didn't even have the heart to eat the prepared fruit, so she went out of the house with a cup.
In the left front of the house, Chiqiong built several rows of shelves for her with bamboo, on which some daisies, spices, and sweet potatoes were dried on bamboo sieve stalls, full of the taste of an authentic farmhouse courtyard.
At this moment, Chiqiong was burning tea cans in front of the right side of the house, and when she saw that she was intoxicated and came out with a cup like a treasure, he tilted his head to signal her to come closer.
Yiyi rushed forward like a butterfly wearing flowers: "This tea is really ...... You...... Ay! Before she could say a word, Chiqiong had already tasted a sip of tea on her hand.
Tea leaves containing a faint aura, brewed with ordinary well water, reveal a fragrance like an orchid, but the water quality is too poor, and Chiqiong is a little dissatisfied.
Yiyi's delicate face as porcelain suddenly burst into a touch of red. "I remember that I have something to do, and I'll be back later."
Chiqiong unexpectedly watched her run away.
Out of the space, Yiyi was still holding a teacup in her hand, she loved the pure fragrance of tea, and took a sip of her lips and teeth. At the moment, the water temperature is just right, Yiyi took a sip of the beauty, the new tender green tea head is fragrant, the second bubble alcohol, and the third bubble is elegant, how can I drink enough three bubbles today.
While tasting tea, Yiyi took a pot of fresh leaves from the space of the original space Longjing. I first chose the tea with my divine thoughts, and then lit the stove fire, and as soon as my hand got out of the pot, Chiqiong's voice sounded in Yiyi's mind: "You are not allowed to fry tea with your bare hands, you still ......"
Yiyi immediately turned off the Divine Sense Communication Circle, she is a girl who always has a private moment to wash and go to the toilet every day. This unexpectedly closed the formation and forbade the Red Dome from probing himself, which he had done for several days.
The maids in the courtyard suddenly smelled that there was an indescribable elegant fragrance wafting from the kitchen, which was a little familiar and couldn't be said. As the smoke of the burning plants and trees rose, a stronger aroma slowly wafted through the small courtyard.
Yiyi fried a few pots of tea and the courtyard was fragrant, she originally just wanted to fry a pot of tea to cover people's eyes, but the quality of the space tea she fried was not as good as the ordinary tea fried in the red dome. The roasted tea skills that he is proud of actually lost in front of the beginner Chiqiong, and he only fried several pots in a row because of the strength to not admit defeat.
After repeated defeats, I have to admit that the tea that is absolutely fried with my current strength is too far away from the red dome.
Yiyi resisted everyone's curious eyes, and ordered someone to move a few jars of ordinary tea fried from the kitchen to the upper room. The third uncle happened to come to the courtyard to talk to Yiyi, and he became her first tea guest.
Yiyi had people bring tea bowls, teapots, and freshly boiled well water. It was the first time Lin Zhaoxian had seen this fresh scene, and he even forgot what he wanted to ask for a while.
Nowadays, boiling tea pays attention to tea appreciation, water tasting, fire watching, and discernment. It is unheard of to bring an empty tea set and boiling water directly to the table to drink tea like this.
At present, the most exquisite tea-making in Xun is to pick the fresh leaves, steam them in the retort kettle, and then pound them with a pestle and mortar, and then shoot them into a cake, and finally wear the cake tea to roast and seal. There are certain rules for the auction system: the rules are made of iron, or square or round; It is also known as a platform or anvil, often made of stone, and is the method of making tea or cake tea. In a few places, there are also loose tea and end tea that are steamed but not pounded or pounded but not patted.
That is to say, the current tea is now steamed, so that although the grass smell can also be removed, the tea is also steamed; The lock incense relies on roasting, and the unique aroma of the tea is locked, which is not much different from the modern tea-making process, but the tea is steamed, and the fresh aroma in the tea is also destroyed, and the effect of the lock incense is not good.
High-grade tea, especially green tea with delicate buds and leaves, cannot even be brewed with boiling water at 100 degrees, and it is generally more appropriate to use about 80 degrees. The more tender and green the tea leaves, the more attention should be paid to the water temperature, so that the brewed tea soup will be tender and green, fresh and fresh, and fragrant.
When the tea leaves are scalded at the high temperature of boiling water, the tea soup will turn yellow and taste astringent, not to mention the tea leaves that have been completely steamed.
Therefore, although Xun advocates tea drinking, and tea trade is still the main product of the country's export foreign trade, the "color, fragrance, taste, and shape" of modern high-grade tea has not been reflected at all at present.
Yiyi doesn't have a teaspoon at the moment, so she grabbed a pinch of tea leaves from the purple bamboo shoot tea jar and put it in the teapot. Remove the lid of the kettle and cover it again after dissipating the heat slightly. Then carry the kettle high and pour the water into the teapot at a uniform speed. Swing up and down the wrist halfway, so that the water flow in the spout of the pot reciprocates three times from high to low, so that the tea leaves turn up and down, and the tea soup in the pot is evenly concentrated up and down, which is called "Phoenix Three Nods" in the tea art is a very practical brewing technique.
With the infusion of hot water, a pure fragrance of tea permeated the entire hall, and after a breath of time, the lid of the teapot was closed when the tea was poured, so as not to suffocate the tea soup.
When a cup of clear and turquoise tea was brought to Lin Zhaoxian, he looked at his niece in surprise and asked, "This is the method of drinking tea that I learned in Fanbang?" ”
After Yiyi sent everyone outside the hall, he lowered his voice and said, "This is the method of making tea taught by the master who gave his niece the elixir. The third uncle might as well try it first. After speaking, I tasted it first. Yiyi loves to drink tea, especially green tea, followed by black tea, and then flower tea. The purer the taste, the better, and the drink is the original taste of fresh and tender tea.
"The aroma is clear and sweet in the mouth, and it is really extraordinary." Lin Zhaoxian drank the fried tea for the first time, and after taking a sip of tea, he only felt comfortable all over his body, and the annoying turbidity between his chest and abdomen was discharged a lot, and he couldn't help but be very happy.
Yiyi is accustomed to drinking high-grade fresh bud green tea in modern times, and tastes Chiqiong to fry this high-grade bud tea to the level of the best green tea.
The best dry tea pays attention to "new, dry, even, fragrant and clean". This tea is made of fresh leaves just picked on the same day, and the "new" is well-deserved; Fried by the red dome dry without scorching spots, the subtlety of fire control and temperature control far exceeds that of the roasted tea machine, and the "dry" is second to none; The young leaves before the rain with one leaf and one bud are "uniform" in size and shape; The finishing is done in one go, the drying is full and timely, and the lock "fragrance" is intact; The mind removes impurities without residue, kneades extremely well without crumbled, and "clean" without impurities.
Today, this tea is a super dry tea, and the super first-class roasted tea technology has produced a super one-quality tea. At this time, a handful of dry tea in the palm of her hand, Yiyi didn't need to breathe, just a little warmth in the palm of her hand, and the dry fragrance of tea overflowed in a moment, but this was still far from the space tea she drank in the red dome for the first time.
Yiyi then brewed another line and fried the space Longjing tea by herself. This quality is also rare and beautiful in hand-fried tea.
With only a very small amount of crumbs, the shape is slightly inferior to that of a tea roaster, but the taste is far superior to that of ordinary tea leaves fried in the red dome.
The happiness that came out of the body was indescribable, and the third uncle was shocked. Although I have heard all kinds of miraculous deeds of the national teacher since I was a child in Xunguo, I have never been in contact with it after all.
Today's cup of tea can be regarded as allowing him to experience the magic of a master outside the world, not to mention how many extraordinary effects the carefully refined elixir has, just the daily diet of the niece and daughter who has been instructed by them is absolutely extraordinary.
He knew that Yiyi had some skills far beyond ordinary people, and he was happy for the eldest brother's family, and now the eldest brother would not be sad even if he was sick, and his burden would be shared. He saw that Yiyi was cautious and cautious, and he knew that he could keep his secret, so he didn't ask more questions. Secrets can only be kept for longer if fewer people know about them.
