Chapter 71: Hakurei Shrine Spring Festival Continued II

A vessel carved from purple bamboo roots depicts a banquet scene similar to that of Hakurei Shrine tonight.

Sixteen Nights Sakuya took it over, first looked at the appearance of the container, and saw the exquisite carving and perfect polishing, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face. She lifted the lid, examined the packaging inside, and nodded in the affirmative again. From the box to the packaging, it's an expert process. What particularly satisfied her was the temperature of the whole box, which was slightly warmer in her hand, about five degrees higher than the surrounding environment - obviously in the environment of constant temperature and humidity, which is also expert-level.

Then her slender fingers peeled off the moisture-proof cotton paper and gold leaf, picked it up and sniffed it gently, "Huh?!" The scent is peculiar. For the first time, Sakiya's face showed an expression of surprise and confusion.

"Dirt... Ahem... Mr. Lu, can I taste it? Sixteen Nightsaki, who almost called the wrong name, twisted his head to the side and said.

This made it difficult for Lu Yuan, he was still quite sure about making zuò tea, but what about tea art...... That's it. Only Monk Peng made tea for him to drink, and he would simply brew green tea.

What's more, what Sakuya said in the sixteenth night must be European-style black tea...... Lu Yuan had only heard of such a tall thing-did he ever drink a pot of three hundred and seventy yuan in a teahouse?

"I'm sorry, I can't help it, I can't handle the craftsmanship below." Lu Yuan pointed to the tea set he had made and said. These tea sets are enough for their own use, and they are enough to entertain guests. But for a European aristocratic tyrant like the Red Devil Pavilion, it is still far behind, at least it has to be a crystal base. He had seen Anne demonstrate to him once in the castle. The full set of aristocratic etiquette of dining, drinking, dancing and drinking tea, the cumbersome Cheng dù made Lu Yuan completely shocked.

When etiquette became a culture. It's not about pretending to be X.

After looking at the tea set that Lu Yuan was entertaining, Sixteen Nights really felt that it was inappropriate.

"I'm sorry. It's me who is asking too much. She bowed lightly and said, "Wait," and her body flickered in place. Lu Yuan's spiritual power has been vaguely locked on Sakiya, so the flickering of that moment made him in a trance. Lu Yuan was keenly aware that something must have happened at that moment, triggering the chaos of locking up the spiritual power.

But when he calmed down, he saw that Sixteen Nights Sakuya was still standing there, but a bamboo basket suddenly appeared in his hand. She took out the transparent crystal tea set and the kettle with hot water stored in turn from the basket, skillfully warmed the cup and the warm pot, took out an appropriate amount of black tea with a teaspoon and put it into the pot, and brewed black tea. Because this time it was to taste the taste of tea. No added sugar and no milk.

"Price." Sixteen Nights Saki said sternly.

"What?" The whole process was too jumpy, and Lu Yuan was in a trance for a while, before he heard the question of Sixteen Nightsakiya clearly.

In the case of Sixteen Nights Sakuya, who can manipulate the ability of local time, the storage of time is completely discontinuous. For Lu Yuan, who is accustomed to locking the surrounding environment with mental power, almost every time he changes time is an impact, and he also needs to keep repeating the lock, which is a very peculiar feeling.

Lu Yuan was still watching her flush water into the teapot just now, and in the blink of an eye, a cup of black tea had been raised to her lips, and then in the blink of an eye, she restrained her expression of surprise. The tea set is being carefully packed after washing...... Jumping again, Sixteen Nights Sakuya was already looking at Lu Yuan with a hundred times more energy, ready to negotiate the price.

"Are you fast forwarding?" Lu Yuan felt like he was watching an island movie......

But sixteen nights are very strict. Because when she tasted it, she realized a problem. The price of such a superb black tea may not be affordable even in the Red Devil Pavilion...... There are indeed many things in the world that cannot be measured by money. So. For the eldest lady! She wants to come out with twelve points of bargaining power! Not...... But when she tried to draw strength from her memories, all she remembered was that she never asked the price. The scene of taking it away...... The local tyrant has lived for too long, and my Saga ability ...... It's zero!

The price. Lu Yuan also felt a headache, and he couldn't set a price.

Theoretically, this tea, even though it is of the third grade, is still too good. So good that no one can afford to drink...... Even the Red Devil Pavilion is the same for local tyrants...... It is not an item that can be measured in terms of money. Three or four years later, the tea leaves are still about ......

"Forget about the price or something, this kind of special black tea is newly made by me, and I don't know if it's good or bad, after you take it and taste it, you can give feedback......" Lu Yuan thought about it, and was afraid that they would be ruined when they were a sample. Therefore, Lu Yuan still explained, "The annual output of tea of this quality is not much, and it will only be produced in the past three or four years at most, and I am afraid there will be no more in the future." ”

"Thank you." Sixteen Nightsaki said these two words sincerely.

If she had seen Lu Yuan "beating" Hong Meiling before, she would have been a little disdainful; Seeing Lu Yuan "bullying" Leimi, he would feel angry. At this moment, after she tasted black tea, she had already admired Lu Yuan's ability to cultivate and make zuò tea. "I wonder when the next black tea will come out?" After hearing that it would only be produced for three or four years at most, she already planned to buy all the black tea in Jiamuwu.

If Remi had tasted this black tea, she would have only been more fanatical than her.

"Six months later......" Lu Yuan calculated, I still have to analyze scrolls, accompany girls, forge divine swords, and have enough sleep time, I am really busy to death...... How can you make black tea? He glanced at Sixteen Nights Sakuya very detachedly, and said vaguely, "The right weather will only be available in autumn......"

Sixteen Nights Sakiya is once again captivated by his professionalism!

Such a good black tea must be available for half a year! If you tell me to squat in the back for ten minutes, I'll give you a face!

"The Red Devil Pavilion will send the deposit in advance." Sixteen Nights Sakuya has already figured out what to use as a deposit - I'm afraid the money won't work, and the weapons of the eldest and second misses won't work either—so only ...... Patsy's precious magic books! Anyway, if you put it in the library, it will be taken away by the black and white thief for free, so it is better to give it to Lu Tuhao as a deposit! (He's a human anyway, so it's better to get it back after he dies!) Don't black and white thieves often say that...... )

"By the way, is there a question about the Red Devil Pavilion?" Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked. When he met Hong Meiling in the back mountain yesterday, he asked about the original incident by knocking on the side. Although Hong Meiling still insisted on not saying anything, Lu Yuan still learned through Guò's inquiring skills that the person who provoked the Red Devil Pavilion and Jiamu House in the first place was in the Red Devil Pavilion.

"Please." Sixteen Nights Sakuya said politely, there was no longer the alienation at the beginning in his tone, and his face was no longer cold. She got the best black tea as a gift, and her impression of Lu Yuan has also changed greatly - from a despicable and shameless villain who bullies the weak, to a master of art with quirks and flaws! - As for the honey tea that Remi wanted, it was nothing to a tea ceremony master like her.

"Did you have before... Oh... Men and the like... Run to the Red Devil Pavilion... Applying for a housekeeper? Servant? Dim sum? Toy? Lu Yuan listed some strange points.

Sixteen Nights Sakuya showed a look of "no one can know about this", she gently covered her lips, and then replied affirmatively, "There are such people." ”

She wondered in her heart, was that nasty housekeeper causing trouble outside? That guy has been constantly trying to get close to the eldest lady, using all kinds of small games to please the eldest lady, which is really hateful! (Remi is mine!) )

"Really?!" Lu Yuan just asked casually, but he didn't expect the answer to be so simple. "Can you tell me what kind of person it is?"

"Well, he worked as a housekeeper in the Red Devil Pavilion for a while, he was dutiful, and he was a good person." Sixteen Nights said reluctantly. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have said a good word about him!

"For a while? So where has he gone now? ”

"He, huh...... I am accompanying the second lady...... When playing, it was missing! That's right, that's it! Sixteen Nights Sakuya persuaded herself. As for "this person was sent by me to deliver food to the second miss, but the second miss accidentally broke it and turned into a pile of minced meat", I haven't seen it!

Sakuya tidied up the maid outfit on her body and regained her solemn appearance. When she picked up the basket, she asked, "Is he your friend?" ”

"Enemy!" Lu Yuan said affirmatively.

"That's fine." Sakiya bowed perfectly, then smiled and prepared to leave. But...... Well, in order for Remi not to be sullen all the time, she still had to ask where that guy was!

"Actually...... I have a question here as well...... Do you happen to know where the lost door of the Red Devil Pavilion went? "After all, we've lived together for a long time, and she's just left, and everyone wants to know how she's doing now." ”

"Oh...... Why don't you go to the back mountain of Hakurei Shrine? "Well, speaking of this, Lu Yuan is not very embarrassed. He now feels that he said so much at the beginning, just salty and eating radishes, and people want to be the first thing in the world to shut me down. "When I was walking around the cherry blossom forest that day, I happened to see a small line on the wings of a wild bee...... Presumably, there must be someone living in seclusion near the wild beehive. ”

"Thank you!" Sixteen Nights understood Lu Yuan's hint, and Hong Meiling was in the back mountain of Boli, near the hive of wild bees, and she was living miserably...... But she couldn't help but ask, "What is written on the wings of wild bees?" ”

Lu Yuan's eyes as a tea ceremony master became nostalgic and long-lasting in an instant.

"At the bottom of love, I'm desperate."
