Luo Baiqiong's smile froze on her face, a pair of slender beautiful eyes stared at the maximum, she turned her head to look around, and found that except for Peng Yan, everyone, including the old lady, had spit out the tea into the mouthwash cup at hand—and the cousin named Peng Jian actually exaggerated a sip of tea on Peng Shi's face, which made Peng Shi angry.

Luo Baiqiong was shocked, lowered her head and took a sip of the tea in her hand, and immediately spit the tea on the exquisite carpet. "Phew, what's going on? Momma! Didn't you say this tea ......" Luo Baiqiong's voice suddenly became sharper, judging from the previous elegant tone, she was at a loss, first turned sideways to look at Mama Tang, then went to see the old lady in the hall, and finally turned her head to glare at He Angelica.

He Angelica is also confused about everyone's reaction after drinking tea, for more than ten years, no one who has drunk her red fruit tea has made such a reaction, but today there are eight people who spit out her tea in a row? So He Angelica picked up his cup suspiciously and took a small sip, and he was also stunned under the first product.

Seeing that a good tea ceremony performance was messed up like this, the old lady suddenly turned blue with anger, stood up suddenly, stared at He Angelica on the last seat and asked, "Sister Yi, what is going on?!" ”

What's going on? He Angelica also felt strange, how could the red fruit tea, which has always been sweet and sour, be so sweet that it is greasy! If it weren't for the fact that those people added too much sugar to make their tea, it would be ...... Too much sugar when making your own tea?

Since moving into Taoyao Courtyard, He Angelica and they have a spacious and bright small kitchen of their own, even if the three meals a day sent by the big kitchen are clear soup and little water, so that people can't eat enough and can't starve to death, they don't have to worry anymore. As long as they stuffed the scattered silver coins into Wang Buliu, who was working in the food room, they could buy any ingredient they wanted at a price 20% higher than the market price.

It's a pity that although He Angelica is not short of money now, even more than Luo Baiqiong's cash, she has not yet found a chance to sneak out of the house and go to the money bank to deposit large silver tickets and exchange change. The bag of broken silver exchanged in Rabbit Town is now spent more than a dozen taels, and they can't spend all of them in order to deal with emergencies that require money, which means that before He Angelica tries to hide people's eyes and leave the house, they have to save some money. So, He Angelica first gave Cicada Yi two taels of silver, and asked her to go to Wang Buliuxing to pick the most important rice, noodles, melons and fruits to buy, and buy a little grain for their new kitchen, and those "luxuries" of chicken, duck and fish had to wait until later to buy.

Cicada Yi did as ordered, but she bought back one more thing - sugar. Not one or two packs, but full of sugar in four large clay pots. According to Cicada Yi, she proudly said that she bought all the sugar in the food room! He Angelica estimated that each clay pot contained seven or eight catties of sugar, four clay pots, that is, more than thirty catties of sugar, and a large piece of white flowers made He Angelica a little dizzy when he looked at it, and asked her why she wanted to buy so much sugar. Cicada replied as a matter of course, because it was delicious!

Thinking of the tea he asked Cicada Yi to help watch the fire when he fried tea a few days ago, remembered the cup of sweet chrysanthemum tea that Cicada Yi brought to him before going to the banquet in the afternoon, and thought of Cicada Yi's unusual persistence and love for white sugar, He Angelica estimated that in the two catties of red fruit tea he gave to the old lady, Cicada Yi must have grabbed a few handfuls of sugar into it to make this tea outrageously sweet.

In fact, according to the standard of He Angelica, this tea is not so difficult to drink that people will spit it out immediately, but now most of the people sitting in the main hall are golden and noble people who are used to eating in brocade clothes, and their delicate tongues can't eat a little rough stuff that has been spoiled. In addition, before, they were impatient by the fragrance of this tea and Luo Baiqiong's tempting introduction, and they thought that this tea soup would be very refreshing, but who knew that it was a sweet and greasy soup in their mouths, and the greater the expectation, the greater the gap in their hearts, so they would spit it out one after another without giving face.

He Angelica sneered in his heart, if this tea is as delicious as before, then there is nothing to do with himself, the old lady and the guests can just praise Luo Baiqiong to their heart's content. But now that there is a problem in the tea, Luo Baiqiong panicked and asked the old lady for help with her eyes, and at the same time, she did not forget to look back at herself, which shows who the original maker of this tea is, Luo Baiqiong is clear in her heart, and she just introduced her homemade tea to everyone without changing her face and heartbeat. The old lady didn't say a word and came to ask herself about the crime, should she take down this crime? Let's just say that you accidentally put more sugar when making tea? And then be blamed by the old lady?

Although Mama Tang didn't drink tea, she already knew that something was wrong after looking at everyone's reactions, and then seeing that the third lady didn't reply to the old lady's words, Mama Tang was also anxious: "Third Miss, what's going on?" What the hell is wrong with this tea? ”

When the guests heard the old lady and the two of them questioning the Miss Luo Jiabiao sitting in the corner in unison, they naturally had doubts in their hearts, and Peng gradually couldn't help asking: "The tea was made by the second sister, and she personally cooked it for us, what is the matter with the third sister?" What are you doing to her? The old lady and Mama Tang couldn't answer, but just stared at He Angelica, as if they wanted to stare at a flower from the top of her head, and the guests also looked at He Angelica when they saw this.

In front of everyone's eyes, He Angelica finally raised his head, looked at Mama Tang with a surprised face and asked, "Mama, could it be that this is...... Red fruit tea? Seeing that the other party nodded hesitantly, He Angelica slowly got up from his seat and walked out, unhurriedly walked to the center of the hall with a noble lady, and saluted the main seat with a light white gauze handkerchief, and said: "Back to the ancestors, this red fruit tea is slightly different from the last time, and the brewing method is also very different. ”

Licorice hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Back to the old lady, there were many people in the pantry that day, and I was also very busy, so I didn't hear what the little maid who brought the tea said, as for the paper of the bag of tea...... We poured the tea into the tea jar and threw it away! As he spoke, he turned his head and apologized to He Angelica, "I'm sorry, Miss San, the slaves didn't know that you wrote the method of making tea on it, and you only discarded it as a useless piece of paper." ”

"Well, you didn't mean it, so why are you guilty?" What's more, it's really a useless piece of paper.

He Angelica smiled slightly, she knew that the old lady's pantry had always been well maintained, and the foreign tea leaves and tea fruits would also be included in the storage room as soon as possible; Those that are easy to string flavor are poured into tea cans for preservation, and those that are not easy to string flavor are connected to the original packaging and put into numbered drawers like medicine cabinets in a pharmacy. The fragrance of red fruit tea is strong, so He Angelica gambled, they would pour it into the tea can and then throw the paper, only to make up a temporary method of making tea, and push the mistake to the mistake of handover, the old lady's pantry has nearly 20 maids and grandmothers, the so-called law does not blame the public, so that a mistake will be eliminated.

Of course, the red fruit tea was added with more sugar, and it would not taste good no matter how it was brewed, but He Angelica's ear power was very good, and he heard a series of sounds of walking quickly in the distance, guessing that the person serving the food was almost there, and when the banquet began, this unpleasant tea tasting experience was naturally brushed aside. Sure enough, the footsteps of "Da Da" were getting closer and closer, and the aroma of the food also came, and the old lady immediately saw the opportunity to act, as if such a thing had never happened, and as soon as the first batch of exquisite dishes were arranged, the old lady began to enthusiastically persuade the wine and food, and no longer stopped the little boys from drinking, and let the maids waiting next to her fill everyone with glasses.

Mama Tang also led Luo Baiqiong to sit at the bottom of Peng Shi and Peng Yan's table in a timely manner, and at the same time comforted her softly and said that what happened just now was purely an accident, and the second miss didn't have to take it to heart.

Luo Baiqiong is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and she can't say her bitterness, because this matter was caused by her own whim. In the past few months, when she returned to her grandfather's grandson's house, she intermittently listened to a few lectures from Master Huang, a famous tea artist, "Tea Wuxiang", and thought that she had a first glimpse of tea art, so she wanted to perform on a big occasion, and even the routine words when serving tea had been memorized, just because her grandfather's little uncle died, and her mother would not hold a poetry tea party for her to show her talent in the past few months, which made her quite depressed and gave birth to some sad feelings of pearl dust.

Today, I heard that Baoding Bo Mengshan and Meng Qigongzi came to the family, and the ancestors were going to feast guests, so she immediately began to prepare the clothes and accessories to wear to the banquet, but she picked and picked and picked, so that it was delayed for a long time, and she hurried to the outside of the Xinrong Palace, and she met Mama Tang who was planning to serve tea.

Luo Baiqiong understood that the Baoding Bo invited for today's banquet was a distinguished guest who had not met for ten years, and she was late for such an important occasion, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart. As we all know, the daughter of a family with exquisite tea skills is the first choice for all wealthy sons to choose a wife, if she can show her hand in front of all guests, not only will her value double, but also may make her cousin Peng Shi look at her differently!

Although Mama Tang heard about her plan, she hesitantly told her that this porcelain bottle was not filled with ordinary tea, but the red fruit tea made by Miss San, if it was not appropriate to make a false confession; However, her eyes lit up even more after hearing this, what a coincidence, she just memorized a "fragrant fruit tea" recommendation a few days ago, which happened to be used on this occasion, it was really God to help her! It's just that I didn't expect her wonderful performance, but in the end, she was messed up by the tea of "Savage He Angelica", which really annoyed her!

Sitting in the main hall at this moment, Luo Baiqiong only felt that her face was like fire, and her back was full of thorns, she guessed that these people in the hall must be laughing at herself now, and all of this is the fault of "Savage He Angelica"!

Because the second wife, the eldest young master, the eldest lady and others who were originally scheduled to come did not come, and Guan Bai, the young master Guan Bai, who had originally scheduled to visit the mansion three days ago, did not appear, so that a lot of seats were vacated in the palace at once, so after Mama Tang settled Luo Baiqiong, she moved He Angelica in the last seat to the upper seat, and the people sat tighter, and the banquet was a little more lively. As a result, He Angelica was moved to the opposite side of Luo Baiqiong, and he was really tired of seeing each other, and no matter how good the dishes were, they had no taste in their mouths.

The banquet officially began, the main seat in the center sat the old lady, under the five steps are two rows of seats, the first on the left is Meng Shan's father and son, the second on the left is the Peng Shi brothers, and the third on the left is Luo Baiqiong; The first one on the right is Ning Yuan's master and servant, the second on the right is given to Guan Bai, who has not arrived for a long time, and the third on the right is He Angelica.

These people are either strangers who meet for the first time, such as Meng Shan's father and son to Peng Shi's brothers, and Peng Shi's brothers to Ning Yuan's master and servant; Either it is a familiar stranger, than how to attribute it to Luo Baiqiong; Either they want to treat the other party as strangers, such as Peng Shizhi and Luo Baiqiong. Such a group of people who have nothing to do with each other occupy a table, drink wine and eat dry food, and there is no banquet atmosphere at all. The old lady was anxious in her eyes, so she began to chat one by one, first asked Meng Xuan if she was married, and then asked Peng Shi if the brothers were satisfied with Xichangyuan, and then asked Luo Baiqiong if the vegetables were enough to eat, and all she got were concise answers such as "no", "satisfied", and "enough to eat", and the atmosphere was not mobilized at all.

The old lady turned her head to the right again, remembering that the last time she had a good conversation with Ning Yuan, she decided to talk to Ning Yuan again, but before she could speak, Ning Yuan suddenly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I'll go change clothes, everyone use it slowly." The old lady nodded, and wanted to chat with Fake Fengyang again, but Fake Fengyang was patted on the shoulder by Ning Yuan, and immediately stood up and said, "I, I also change clothes, everyone use it slowly!" With that, both of them hurried out the side door.

Two men going to change together? This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, and also made the atmosphere a little warmer, Peng gradually turned his head and smiled at his brother: "Brother, is this Fengyang really the newly rising 'Whisk Willow Sword' on the rivers and lakes?" Why does it feel like a girl? ”

Before Peng Shi could answer, Meng Xuan suddenly interjected and said, "I saw the 'Whisk Willow Sword' a few months ago, and it looks the same as this Feng Yang. ”
