Mommy stared at Ye Jian with wide eyes, with a complicated expression on her face, and swallowed her saliva.

This kid is really direct, and he shouts Bao Ye when he enters the door.

"Ahem, this, master, my daughter usually doesn't stay overnight. ”

"Generally, you don't have a night, so you can still book a night?"

Ye Jian looked at Mommy playfully, he really wants to be a and set up an archway, there is no business that cannot be discussed, it is nothing more than a matter of price.

Ye Jian slapped the storage bag, his consciousness was divided, and there was a bang, and a thousand gold coins flew out, and then divided into dozens of stacks, neatly stacked on the square table in front of him, under the light of the pink light, it was extremely dazzling.

Mommy's face, which was still hesitating just now, bloomed into a trumpet flower again.

"This, it's not a matter of money, my daughter has a high vision, and the average guest will drink tea and play a little song at most, ouch, of course, the dragon and phoenix among people like you, Xiaoye, is naturally not comparable to ordinary guests,,,"

Mommy said as she ran her hand around the dozens of stacks of gold coins on the table.

"Master, I know you are sincere, but even if you pay so much money, my daughter can only keep you in the side room for one night, and I have to discuss it with my daughter, I don't know if she agrees, alas, I spoiled her. ”

"Poof!"

Ye Jian was drinking tea with a teacup, and when he heard Mommy say that he could only spend the night in the side room, a mouthful of water squirted out directly.

If Lao Tzu can't go to the guest house, he only needs 20 gold to open a room and sleep comfortably.

Of course, Ye Jian didn't really want to spend the night with that young lady, what he sought was to spend the night safely, like this kind of red card box, usually few people disturb it, even if someone comes in to check, Mommy will send someone to warn and stop it in advance.

Mommy glanced at the gold coins on the table. got up and entered the room that Xiao Cui had entered just now, and closed the door casually.

Xiaocui was combing a young woman's hair, the soundproofing between the two houses was not very good, Ye Jian and Mommy were talking. It's also very clear here.

The young woman looked at herself in the mirror, did not look back at Mommy, but said softly and simply: "Which young master is it? Mommy, you know my rules." ”

Mommy smiled lightly: "Daughter, Mommy knows." However, the master outside made a thousand, and you know that there are not many such big deals. ”

Mommy spread out the ten fingers of her two palms, gestured in front of the young woman, and then leaned into the woman's ear and said softly: "I think he is a chick, very tender, you are so clever, just fool him for a night, let him sleep in the side room of Xiaocui in the back." ”

The young woman hesitated with a look of displeasure. still endured: "Mommy, you remember, don't take it as an example, no matter how much it is." ”

"I know, I know, if this is a tiger and wolf like Jia Gongzi and Master Wang, how dare I let them in?"

Mommy was overjoyed, chuckled a few times, and said a few innocuous words of care. Then he turned and walked out of the boudoir.

Ye Jian held a cup of tea and looked up at a picture of Lamei above the living room.

Mommy walked over: "Master, I'm so good at talking, my daughter can easily agree." You're lucky, I see that you are extraordinary, a few days ago, Mr. Wang in the vegetable market paid 2,000 gold, and only drank a cup of tea. ”

In fact, a few days ago, Master Wang gave out 500 gold to round the house, but he was scolded by the woman, and he almost fought.

At this time, Xiaocui came out. Mommy began to collect the gold coins on the table, and it looked like she received about 500 gold coins.

"Xiao Cui, quickly collect the master's bounty and wait for it. ”

"Hmm. Xiaocui is also familiar with the way, so she picked up a small box to collect money.

Ye Jian turned around and said to Mommy, "There won't be any more guests here to disturb at night, right?" ”

"Don't worry, master, this place will belong to you tonight, and there will be no more guests to disturb you. ”

Mommy said as a gust of wind went downstairs, humming a little song in her mouth.

After Xiao Cui received the gold coins in the basket, she entered the room, and after a while, she walked out and said to Ye Jian, "My young lady is invited." ”

Ye Jian smiled slightly, and followed Xiao Cui into the room inside, the inner room was just a simple corridor with a big dresser, and the corridor connected three rooms, Xiao Cui took Ye Jian to open one of them, said please, and stood at the door and did not enter again.

Ye Jian stepped in with his feet raised, and Xiao Cui behind him closed the door casually.

Behind a rosewood coffee table, there was a young woman, dressed in light blue, with her hair tied casually, lazy and pleasant, the woman was facing the window of the room, and the nearby houses and trees could be seen outside the window, although it was night, you could also see some lights outside, after all, most of the small cities were bungalows, and there were not many three-storey buildings like the Red Pink Building.

The woman turned her face sideways, said lightly the word "sit", and concentrated on making tea, the tea set is a very particular set of white porcelain, but in Ye Jian's opinion, this set of tea sets seems a little too big.

Although he only saw one side of the woman's face, Ye Jian still felt that this woman had a good face.

There was a seat in front of the coffee table, which must have been for him.

Ye Jian walked over, sat down, and took a closer look at the woman who was concentrating on serving the tea set.

The woman raised her head slightly, smiled faintly, and then continued to make tea, there was a small charcoal stove beside her, there was a porcelain pot on the stove, the charcoal fire in the small furnace was licking the flames, and the water in the porcelain jar made a slight squeak.

The woman smiled, it can be described as charming, Ye Jian thought, there is such a stunning woman in this small city, but it is a pity that she has fallen into the dust.

The woman didn't care at all about Ye Jian's eyes looking at her, she seemed to be used to it.

After a while, the water in the porcelain jar boiled, and the woman picked up the porcelain jar with a piece of black cotton cloth and quickly poured the boiling water into the large teapot where the tea leaves had been placed in advance.

With the infusion of boiling water, a refreshing aroma of tea rises and fills the room.

Ye Jian took a breath softly: "The best Tieguanyin, good tea." ”

The woman didn't seem to expect Ye Jian to call out the name of the tea in one mouthful, raised her head, and glanced at Ye Jian with some surprise, with a hint of strangeness in her eyes.

This superb special Guanyin is a friend of a woman who loves tea, according to ancient records. Occasionally found in a deep mountain, and according to the ancient method of roasting roasted tea, her friends will send two catties to her after picking tea every year, she is usually easy and reluctant to drink. Today, seeing that Ye Jian gave out 1,000 gold, which can be regarded as a distinguished guest, he took out the best Tieguanyin in his collection, but he didn't expect Ye Jian to say the name of the tea when he smelled it, and he was immediately surprised.

She knows. Although her friend baked this Tieguanyin according to the records of ancient books, there are very few people who know the name of this tea, and it is only circulated in a very small circle.

Ye Jian was also a tea lover before he crossed, and in the former city, Tieguanyin was a very ordinary tea, but the aroma was unique and easy to distinguish.

The woman originally only regarded Ye Jian as the son of a rich and noble family who came to admire her, and she didn't take Ye Jian seriously in her heart, so she couldn't help but restrain her inner contempt a little at this time. The expression on his face also softened a lot, less contemptuous and more casual and more respectful and solemn.

The woman made tea, poured a large cup and put it in front of Ye Jian: "Childe, please drink tea." ”

"Thank you!"

Ye Jian picked up the cup and glanced at it, the tea soup was rich and the smell was fragrant, and he took a sip gently, and it was really good tea. Refreshing.

It's just that the cup of tea is larger, there is more tea soup, and the freshly baked tea is very hot, but it doesn't taste so refreshing. When the tea soup cools down a little, the fragrance and taste of the tea are much worse.

Ye Jian took a closer look at the tea set used by the woman, a relatively large teapot with tea leaves in it, and then filled it with a pot of tea.

It seems that after these 5000 years. Even the art of tea has been lost, and now people only know how to make a big pot of tea to drink, without a little attention to the tea ceremony.

If I tell her about Tieguanyin's specific way of making tea and tasting tea, I don't know how she will feel?

The woman saw Ye Jian staring at the big teapot on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Childe, have another cup, this tea has been brewed for a long time, and the taste is slightly bitter, so you should drink it hot as soon as possible." ”

"Maybe you can make tea in a different way. ”

"Another way?"

"Yes, you bring a small teapot, and I'll show you how?"

Ye Jian took a sip of the tea in the cup, this second cup of tea was already a little bitter because the tea leaves had been soaked in boiling water for a long time, and it was far less sweet than the first cup of tea.

The woman hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Cui'er." ”

Cui'er stood outside the door and quickly agreed.

"You go get two small teapots,,, hmm, do you need anything else?" the woman looked at Ye Jian.

I have been in this world for a long time, and I didn't pay attention to the tea ceremony before, but now if I think about it, people in this life drink tea with big bowls and big cups, and there is no teacup of extremely small kung fu tea in the previous life, but there are very small wine cups for drinking, and the size of the kung fu tea teacup in the previous life is about the same.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Bring a few small glasses." ”

"Wine glass?"

"Yes, the smallest kind of wine glasses, porcelain. ”

"Okay. "The woman should play a game with Ye Jian, and she won't argue about anything, anyway, Ye Jian spent 1,000 gold coins, whatever he wants.

Cui'er outside the door naturally heard it clearly, and after repeating it correctly, she went downstairs to get a small teapot and a small wine glass.

After a while, Cui'er took two small teapots and four small wine glasses and placed them on the coffee table in front of Ye Jian.

The porcelain jar on the tea stove also has half a jar of boiling water, which squeaks.

Ye Jian stood up: "Let's change positions." ”

The woman smiled and stood up, Ye Jian glanced at it, and then realized that the woman was in excellent shape, bumpy and convex, and exuded a seductive charm all over her body, like a ripe fresh peach, delicate and gorgeous, making people want to take a bite.

The two changed seats, Ye Jian sat down, took half a can of boiling water, scalded the newly brought teapot and wine glass, poured half a can of cold water again, and put it on the stove.

The woman looked at Ye Jian and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you use the remaining half of the pot of boiling water to make tea?"

"The water for making tea can only be used to boil water, such water to make tea, the tea soup is clear, the tea is sweet, you just put the half jar of water, put it on the stove and boil it repeatedly, the water quality has changed. ”

The woman was a little confused when she heard this, Ye Jian suddenly woke up, I can't explain to her that there is calcium carbonate in the repeatedly boiled water, right?

So I hit for example.

"This tea is like a woman, and the cold water before it is boiled is a girl before the age of sixteen. Ignorant of the world and lacking in style, this freshly boiled water is like a girl after the age of sixteen, delicate and bright. It is sweet and delicious, but once it is cooked on the stove repeatedly, it is like a woman who has married and given birth to several children, and it is muddy. ,”

"Poof!"

Cui'er's laughter was heard outside the door.

The woman also hid her face and chuckled, looking very cute.

The woman said, "It's funny, I've heard of it for the first time." ”

After a few moments, the water in the porcelain jar creaked.

Ye Jian put a small pinch of Tieguanyin into the newly taken small teapot, and after the water in the porcelain pot boiled, he poured the boiling water, covered the lid, and quickly poured the tea from the first small teapot into the second small teapot, and then poured the boiling water from the porcelain pot into the first small teapot again. Close the lid.

Ye Jian poured the tea for the first time into the four small wine glasses.

The woman thought that she could drink it, but knowing that Ye Jian quickly poured all the tea in the four small wine glasses into a spare small basin and discarded it.

The woman's face looked suspicious.

Ye Jian picked up the small teapot that had just been filled with boiling water again, poured all the tea in it into another small pot, picked up the small teapot full of boiling tea, and poured three cups of tea in turn.

Ye Jian took a cup and put it in front of the woman, stretched out his hand to make a gesture to invite tea, and said, "Be careful!"

The woman stretched out her white jade-like fingers, gently picked up the small wine glass, and felt the hot tea temperature transfer to her fingers. It's hot, but it's not so hot that you can't stand it, a different feeling.

The woman gently inhaled the fragrance of tea and took a sip. Suddenly, his brows stretched, and his heart was happy.

The woman finished drinking a cup, put the teacup on the coffee table, and looked at Ye Jian.

Ye Jian smiled slightly, holding a small teapot, and there was half a pot of tea soup in it. Because the tea and the tea soup have been separated, the tea soup does not suffer from the continued brewing of the tea leaves.

Ye Jian filled the woman's cup with tea again.

The woman drank three glasses in a row, still unsatisfied, and looked at Ye Jian with appreciation.

"What kind of tea is this?"

"This is the art of tea, also known as the tea ceremony. ”

"Tea ceremony?"

"In fact, it is very simple, use freshly boiled water to make tea, the water quality is just right, use a small pot to make tea, and quickly separate the tea leaves from the tea soup to avoid the tea leaves becoming hot under the continuous high temperature, and the tea soup becomes bitter. ”

"Why, why do you discard the tea soup you used to make tea for the first time?"

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she also has to take a bath, not to mention the tea? A tea, after how many people's hands and the pollution and dust of the packaging, etc., one needs to be cleaned, remove dust and other debris, and the other is quickly rinsed at high temperature, which can make the tea wake up instantly, and when brewed for the second time, it can completely exude the fragrance and sweetness it contains. ”

The woman looked at Ye Jian, surprised in her heart at his research on tea art, swept away her contemptuous mentality, and nodded slightly: "Listening to your words, it is better to read ten years of books and be taught!"

"Where, I'm just talking nonsense, that, Cui'er outside the door, can you come in for a drink?"

Cui'er outside the door had already been salivated by the fragrance of tea, and when she heard Ye Jian's shout, she didn't know whether she should come in or not, so she only said, "Thank you, son." ”

"Since Childe invited you to tea, you can come in and have a drink. ”

The woman smiled.

Cui'er hurriedly came in, drank it in one gulp, and was full of praise, Ye Jian poured her another glass, Cui'er was not polite, drank it all again, thanked her, and walked out of the door to guard.

Ye Jian sat on the chair and looked up at the woman, with casual black hair, delicate facial features, under the light, there were thousands of styles between the eyebrows, and thousands of postures, it was really a stunner in the world, and it was rare.

The woman's face was slightly red, and she was about to ask Ye Jian if she wanted to listen to the music, when she suddenly noticed that Ye Jian's expression was abnormal.

Ye Jian saw that on the wall behind the woman, there was a copy of calligraphy hanging on the wall, although the light was not very bright, but for him who had loved calligraphy in his previous life, he still recognized it at a glance.

"The Monument of the Gall?"

Ye Jian shouted loudly.

When the woman heard this, her face changed greatly. (To be continued.) )
