Chapter 403: Tea Party

Behind the screen is a ten-meter-square tatami mat, and several people take off their shoes and go up to the tatami mat from the entrance, and the first thing they see is a cool woman in a black kimono, kneeling there.

The woman is the same age as Xia You, and she is also wearing a Poke Ball on her head, even if she doesn't introduce it, it can be seen from this strange outfit that she must be one of Yin Bu's five sisters!

And so far, Xia You and these five sisters have all met each other.

Seeing Xia You and a few people coming in, the woman gave a deep salute according to standard etiquette.

Xia You had learned about it when she chatted with Lijia before, and knew that this was a true ceremony, that is, the etiquette used by the host and guests, and it was the most solemn etiquette in the bowing ceremony, requiring a ninety degree ceremony, which was generally used when attending a tea party or other important occasions.

"Welcome both to my tearoom."

Lijia also returned the salute with the same etiquette, only Xia You was not used to such etiquette, and just nodded heavily to Xiaoyu.

Xiaomei introduced the two of them, "This is Sister Xiaoyu, my third sister."

After speaking, she introduced Xiaoyu's identities to Xia You and Lijia.

"Sister, this is Mr. Xia You, this is Miss Lijia, one of them is the champion of the quartz conference, and the other is the owner of the gym in the Guandu area!"

Since learning the identity of Xia You's champion, Xiaomei also learned from Xia You's mouth that Lijia turned out to be a gym owner!

This made her very happy, who would have thought that the two audience members she met in the dance hall were not ordinary people, and they had become her friends!

You must know that Pokémon has been integrated into all aspects of this world, and Pokémon battles are the most popular events for people, so the status of the hall owners and champions related to them is undoubtedly extremely high, and it is naturally better to be able to make friends with such people!

Of course, this is not to say that she is more snobbish or vanity-minded.

In fact, with the status of the five sisters in Yuanzhu City, their performances are so popular, and since their debut, they have also met many celebrities, including Matsuba, the owner of the Yuanzhu Daoguan, who often comes to see their shows.

But those are all her sister's connections, or they came to the name of their five sisters.

As the fourth of the five sisters, she is still young, but she is only 17 years old, and she has not really stepped into the society yet, and she usually only rehearses with her sisters, so Xia You and Lijia can be said to be the first friends she made in the real sense!

"Miss Xiaoyu, excuse me."

The two greeted Xiaoyu.

Xiao Yu's gaze stayed on Lijia for a moment now, and finally moved to Xia You.

Just like Xiaomei, she was obviously surprised that the two of them were here.

"What's the matter with both of you coming to the city?"

"We're here to travel and prepare for the Silver Alliance."

"I see."

After a few words of greeting, Xiaoyu stepped into the topic.

"Now I'll make tea for both of you."

There were many tea sets beside her, and a jug warmed by a small fire with firewood, and I saw her take out a tea towel from the side and start wiping tea boxes, tea ladles and other utensils.

Seeing Xia You's curious gaze, Lijia knew that it was the first time for him to participate in the tea party, and couldn't help but whisper: "This is a thin tea technique, the whole tea party starts with etiquette and wiping, and then you have to scoop some hot water into the tea bowl with a water spoon and pour it into the tea bowl for cleaning exercises, but it is the end of the reed, the tea throwing, the tea ceremony, the tea tasting, and finally the tea bowl, the utensils, the cleaning of the tea set, and the end of the tea thanks."

"It's so troublesome......

When he was on earth, many fastidious people had a lot of cumbersome steps when making tea, but for him, drinking tea was to put in the tea leaves first, then pour hot water into the cup, and wait for the tea to become warm and cold, and then he could drink it in a big gulp.

As long as it quenches your thirst, it's all good tea!

However, the tea party and tea party sound different from ordinary tea drinking, after all, it has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and as a ceremonial tea, it should be more cumbersome.

Just look at Lijia on the steps

So familiar, Xia You couldn't help asking, "Do you also cook tea like this?"

"Of course." Lijia nodded, "When I was in the gym, I occasionally held a tea party, if you are interested, I can cook a pot for you alone when I return to Guandu."

Sure enough, he was born in a famous family, and he is really proficient in everything!

After sighing, Xia You didn't say anything, just quietly watched Xiaoyu's every move.

When watching tea, guests should be silent.

Although the voices of the two were very soft, the tea room was so big, and it naturally inevitably came into Xiao Yu's ears, but she didn't say anything, just continued to do her own thing, her movements were skillful and smooth, and she had already operated countless times at a glance.

Xia You watched her carefully wipe the tea bowl, then scooped some hot water into the tea bowl with a water spoon, held the tea bowl close to her body with both hands, performed the exercise of cleaning the tea brush, and then poured the water into the sewage tank.

Then pick up the tea can, scoop the tea powder with a teaspoon, scoop it three times with the teaspoon, then pour out all the tea powder, and then use the teaspoon to evenly mix the tea powder, and tap it on the tea bowl to make a crisp sound.

The whole process looks pleasant, especially the beauty cooking tea, which is even more pleasing to the eye.

In the end, when Xiao Yu used the tea brush and stirred evenly and vigorously in the bowl for a long time, she immediately served it with both hands and handed the two bowls of green tea to the two of them.

"I've been waiting for a long time, now I can enjoy tea."

Xia You glanced down.

He originally thought that he would drink tea with a teacup, but he didn't expect it to be a bowl! And it's not tea leaves, it's a kind of tea powder!

In the gray porcelain bowl, the green tea is still slowly swirling, and even a dense layer of small foam has formed.

How to say, this bowl of tea does not feel like tea to Xia You, but like a bowl of washed soup, not clear or strong, but it does smell the unique fragrance of tea.

He didn't pick up the bowl immediately, but looked at Lijia, intending to learn how to drink it first.

I saw that Lijia first nodded slightly to Xiaoyu, expressed her gratitude, and then picked up the tea bowl, and after turning the tea bowl around, she tasted it gently.

"Hmm..." Lijia tasted it for a while, then smiled, "Whether it is the skill or the taste, it is all of the highest quality, and the water temperature is just right, so I have been taught."

Following her example, Xia You also picked up the tea bowl, spun it in his hand, and took a shallow sip.

In one sip, the tea can be sweet, and there is a lingering fragrance in his mouth, but he doesn't understand it very well, so he can't say why, so he can only pretend to nod his head, and pretend to be determined: "Hmm... It's really good tea."
