"Tea?"

Mo Jingchun squatted by the charcoal basin to roast the fire, and the timely Hang Sheng also brought a sugar cube, she threw one in the ginger tea, and stirred it with a spoon.

Hearing Bo Qingshan's words, she looked up at him.

"Burning incense, ordering tea, hanging paintings, and arranging flowers, all kinds of idle things, should not be tiring at home. Today's snow is clear, the idle family has nothing to do, and it just happens to teach you to order tea to pass the time, come, you come and try. ”

Seeing that Mo Jingchun was full of interest, he brushed off the sundries on the square table to make a large space for her: "First of all, crush the tea cakes and put them in a bowl for later use, and boil water in the kettle." ”

Mo Jingchun had already heard that it was very popular to order tea among the dignitaries and nobles of the dynasty, and the guests set up tea instead of meals, and the guests came to order tea to welcome the guests, and the guests ordered soup to send the guests, which was considered an elegant move by the people of the time.

If the children of any family go out to the banquet and the tea is very bad, they will be laughed at.

However, this is also the leisure and elegance that can only be found in high-ranking households, when the common people have not even solved the problem of living food and clothing, where will they have the heart to pursue these?

Suddenly, there was an opportunity for her to get a glimpse of the lives of the nobles outside, and Mo Jingchun was also aroused: "Okay." ”

She picked up the small tea mallet on the table and pounded the tea cake into small pieces, and then ground it into powder with tea, and after sifting it, the water in the kettle was ready to boil.

Just as she was about to ask what to do next, Bo Qingshan's voice sounded above her head again: "The water for making tea should be the second boiling water of fish eyes and crab eyes, and the water after three boiling is already old, and you can order tea when the water in the kettle is slightly boiling." ”

"There are a total of seven times to order tea and pour water, from the first soup to the seventh soup, you can watch me do this step first."

He sat down beside Mo Jingchun, took the teacup in her hand, and poured boiling water into the teacup.

"Measuring the tea and receiving the soup, the tone is like melting glue. Mix the tea paste first, scoop a spoonful of tea powder into each tea cup, and add water along the periphery of the tea cup when pouring water, and the technique should be light and do not touch the tea cup. Stir the center of the tea cup as the axis, and gradually boil it with force, so that the soup flowers grow from the tea surface. ”

"The second soup has to be fast and hard to have a pearl."

His hands were large, white and protruding, slightly calloused because he was practicing the sword every day, and his demeanor was elegant when ordering tea, so that Mo Jingchun ignored the simple environment around him, as if he was in the courtyard of the prince's mansion, admiring the leisure between the sons and ladies.

"Can you see clearly? First, we should pay attention to the ointment, second, we should pay attention to the timing of water injection, and third, there is a priority when the tea whisk is blown. If you see it clearly, you can try it yourself later. ”

Bo Qingshan divided the tea soup into the bowl and motioned for her to taste it.

Mo Jingchun looked closely, the tea soup in the tea cup was pure white, and the tea foam was uniform.

She was reluctant to spoil the complete tea foam, and did not drink it, but held it in the palm of her hand and played with it, blowing lightly from time to time to make the foam swirl in the cup.

"Bucket tea one bucket soup color, two buckets of soup flowers, in the test to the tea soup color bright white is better, tea foam retention time is longer wins. The key to the final victory lies in the length of time the tea foam is retained, if the tea foam can be cooked to boil, the tea foam rotates in the tea cup, condenses but does not overflow, as if it is bitten, it is the 'samadhi hand'. ”

Bo Qingshan saw that she couldn't put it down, and explained to her how to play tea fighting.

"Why is it called Samadhi? What a strange name. She muttered quietly, but was still heard.

"Samadhi is because of a sentence in a poem written by everyone in a certain dynasty before the Taoist came out of Nanping Mountain to try the tea Samadhi, which is famous. Later generations called those who were skilled in ordering tea by the hands of Samadhi. Shocking spring girl, the other people's house specially asked the nurturing grandmother to teach their children to order tea, and I am a free gentleman again. ”

Mo Jingchun immediately defended himself: "It's Brother Bo who said that it's boring to be idle, it's better to teach me to order tea to pass the time, how can this account not be relied on on me!" ”

Bo Qingshan was silent and made a gesture of please.

Mo Jingchun only saw that he was about to catch the ducks on the shelves once, and he was worried.

"It's okay, don't be nervous. Even if the tea you order is more difficult to eat than the water, Brother Wei and Hang Sheng will also cheer for it. ”

“.” It's better not to say it.

Mo Jingchun was afraid that he would listen to him again, so he secretly said in his heart.

After cleaning your hands, you will scoop a scoop into a kettle in a small wooden bucket with clean spring water on the side and boil it.

Then, according to the impression, the first step that the Chinese side had just done was to crush and sift the tea cakes, and then when the water boiled slightly and the initial ripple, it was whisked seven times.

She carefully presented the tea cup to Bo Qingshan, for fear that if she moved too much, the tea foam would disappear.

The tea soup in the cup is blue and white, and although the tea foam is not as good as Bo Qingshan's bowl, it is already good for beginners.

"The children can be taught." Bo Qingshan seemed to be very satisfied with the little apprentice he taught, and praised it, "It's much better than Hang Sheng." ”

Hang Sheng was unconvinced: "It is clear that the color of the tea soup I ordered is whiter than that of the girl in the spring." ”

"Look at you, you're distracted again, aren't you?" Bo Qingshan picked up the fan and was about to knock him on the head, "Your grandfather is still there to say, the key to winning or losing the tea fight in the end depends on the time of the tea foam." Your tea foam will disperse after two steps, and you may not be as good as a five-year-old child. ”

Mo Jingchun saw that Hang Sheng was still unconvinced, and silently mended the knife: "Brother Hang Sheng, don't be embarrassed, after all, I am a cook, and the strength of my hands when I am preparing vegetables is similar to that of cutting vegetables and chopping meat when I prepare vegetables, and they all require stability and strength, and it will inevitably be difficult to learn if you are not good at cooking."

"Who says I'm not good at cooking? I'll cook it myself tonight to make my reputation as a hangsheng! He was stabbed in the heart and slammed his head.

"Poof."

A room of laughter.

It was snowing, and at noon, Bo Qingshan saw that she was dressed so thinly, so he said: "Don't be busy, there is no food at home, let's deal with eating two bites." ”

"Okay, why don't you just eat the clear soup pot? I took a pot and put it under the porch, and cut a plate of any food to shake it. Mo Jingchun said with a smile.

It is said that it is a clear soup, not only water, but also a soup made of lamb bones or pork stick bones, which is boiled with green onions and ginger slices, and eaten is umami.

Mo Jingchun was improvised, and it was close to noon, so he didn't have time to boil the soup, and saw that there were still a lot of radishes and corn, so he cut them out and boiled them in the pot, which could have some umami.

Look at the rest of the dishes, there is a big black fish in the tank, and there are several live "yellow girls", the black fish is sliced, the yellow girl is cut into sections, and two dishes are obtained.

There are no green leafy vegetables – it's hard to find in winter, but bean sprouts, turnips, cabbage, tofu and the like are always available.

In addition, she also found the mutton that was frozen hard in the snow, cut it into thin slices, and scrambled a plate of fried rice with a few eggs.

It is simple and rich, and it is also heartfelt to be hasty.

In the first snow of winter, while enjoying the scenery and eating a steaming pot, how can it not be called a happy thing?

Finally, after mixing the water according to everyone's taste, Hang Sheng and Wu Bo worked together to bring it to the corridor outside the study, where the table table and hot wine had been set up—and the hot honey tea specially prepared for her. (End of chapter)
