Chapter Twenty-Nine: You Think I'm Drinking Tea?
Shi Qilin had already thought about it, drinking a few strange glasses of wine and eating some good things would have such a good thing as being promoted to the third rank in a row, and in the future, as long as the old man didn't give him something that he vomited out disgustingly when he saw it, he would accept it all.

Now Shi Qilin sat cross-legged opposite the old man, quietly watching him make tea.
Shi Qilin has not seen others making tea, once he suffered from a cold and went to Doctor Bai's clinic to grab medicine, and he was making tea at that time.
Since Shi Qilin's memory, he has watched his father grow older and faster, and he found that Doctor Bai has changed very little in more than ten years.
He once asked Physician Bai, and his explanation was health preservation, and in addition to regular eating, drinking, and exercise, there was also a tea ceremony.
Since I don't know how many years ago, this kind of magical leaves appeared in the east of this Xianxuan Continent, whether it is the mortal world, the immortal cultivation world, the Xuan cultivation world, or the martial arts world, a unified name has appeared, - "Tea Ceremony"
Shi Qilin followed Doctor Bai to make tea behind his father's back.
The first step in making tea is to scald the kettle, before making tea, you need to use boiling water to scald the kettle, one can remove the odor in the pot, and then the hot kettle can help volatilize the aroma of tea.
The second step, warm the cup: pour hot water into the tea cup with a hot pot, and then warm the cup.
The third step is to place the tea: use a teaspoon to put the tea leaves into the teapot, the amount of tea leaves is about one-third to two-thirds of the teapot depending on the type of tea.
The fourth step, high chong: when brewing tea, it is necessary to lift the kettle high, and the water is injected into the teapot from the high point, so that the tea leaves roll and spread out in the teapot, so as to brew the tea flavor more fully, commonly known as "high chong".
Step 5, Scraping foam: When the fourth step is high, there will be foam in the teapot due to dry tea leaves and boiling water, usually the foam is bitter and will affect the taste, so the foam needs to be scraped off. Then close the teapot lid and let it sit for a few moments.
The sixth step, tea tasting: tea tasting is subdivided into three steps, one is to smell, first look at its color, smell its taste, in order to be ready to drink; the second is to wrap, take a small sip of tea into the mouth, do not let it to the back of the mouth, repeatedly around the tip of the tongue, feel the characteristics of tea; the third is to drink, which varies from person to person, and the tea behind it can be determined according to their own preferences, more or less.
In addition to this, some special tea leaves or tea brewed in a cup will have a special way to pour the first tea to remove its bitterness.
Although he didn't know much, seeing Fu Lao's way of making tea, Shi Qilin was different from the way he knew.
First, there is no hot water, and second, there is no teapot, so how can you make tea?
When it came to the step of setting the teapot, Shi Qilin finally couldn't help but say, "Old Fu, are you making tea?"
Fu Lao gave him a blank look, "Why? can't you see it?"
Shi Qilin swept the tea set on this table again and nodded honestly.
"You don't smell the tea?"
"The smell?"
Fu Lao saw that Shi Qilin didn't understand anything, and helplessly pointed to a round item under the table of the Eight Immortals.
Shi Qilin looked down, there was actually a teapot-sized delicate incense burner under the table of the Eight Immortals, and when he smelled it carefully, the strong fragrance came from here.
After closing his eyes and sniffing again, Shi Qilin's comfortable eyes couldn't be opened. "Old Fu, what kind of incense are you burning, how can it be so strong?"
Fu Lao glanced at the teapot and said indifferently, "Three hundred years of Long Yanxiang." ā
This sentence surprised Shi Qilin, "Three hundred years of Long Yanxiang!" Don't say three hundred years, even if it is the best of a hundred years, Shi Qilin can't afford to buy half a penny if he is bankrupt!
Long Yanxiang is a special substance secreted by the stomach of the giant sperm whale in the ocean when it is scratched after eating, after being expelled by the sperm whale, it continues to drift in the seawater, at first Long Yanxiang is dark brown, and the impurities in it are all gone, at least a hundred years!
At this time, the dragon incense is already white, and after it is salvaged and dried, the original fishy smell is replaced by a faint fragrance, and it is even more intense!
So, Fu Lao is burning incense here? This is simply burning money!
Glancing at the incense burner, Shi Qilin remembered another faint aroma, this smell was very strange, and it actually made people feel restless and irritable!
After careful discernment, "Does this smell so strange?"
Fu Lao didn't know why, he didn't pick his nose and pick his ears today, but put his hands in front of him very honestly.
"Do you think I can't make tea with ice water? ā
After receiving Fu Lao's order, Shi Qilin stared closely at the teapot without a lid, Fu Lao's voice disappeared for three seconds, and something strange happened, the teapot that was originally filled with ice water was now actually steaming!
The heat was steaming for about ten breaths, and the water in the teapot actually began to churn!
Originally, the water in the pot was colorless, but now it is slowly turning green! After green, it has not ended, but slowly turns red, which is different from ordinary black tea, but as transparent as ruby.
The white leaves that tumbled out with the blisters in the pot from time to time attracted Shi Qilin's attention, "Old Fu, what kind of tea is this, why am I a little familiar?"
"Where did you get the fruit you ate last time?"
Shi Qilin thought for a while and looked at the potted plants over there, two of them were white leaves, and if you looked closely, they were exactly the same as the white leaves in the teapot.
Raised his hand and touched the teapot, it did look like it was piping hot, put the teapot at one end, there was no heating device below except for the tea tray, thinking of the dragon chair with temperature, Shi Qilin looked at the teapot carefully, it was definitely an ordinary purple clay pot.
After thinking about it, he couldn't find the mystery, Shi Qilin could only look at Fu Lao with a teapot.
Fu Lao looked like a master in the world, slowly took the teapot in Shi Qilin's hand, and poured out two cups of tea.
Putting down the teapot in his hand, Fu Lao pointed the palm of his right hand towards Shi Qilin, indicating "please".
After making the gesture, Fu Lao directly picked up the teacup as if drinking, and drank it dry in one gulp!
Shi Qilin, who saw everything in his eyes, couldn't help but wonder if this Fu Lao would make tea......
He lifted the teacup, sniffed at the rim, and looked at the tea liquid as transparent as a ruby, Shi Qilin took a small sip, letting it reverberate on the tip of his tongue.
"Huh, why does it smell of bamboo?"
"Can you try it all in one gulp?"
Shi Qilin followed Fu Lao's example, as soon as he raised his head, the cup was empty, and he smacked his lips, "Strange, why is there still a smell of commotion?"
At this time, Fu Lao finally couldn't help it, and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! You are drinking my pot water, haha!"
"Old Fu, don't be kidding, you've drunk everything. ā
Immediately, Fu Lao put away his smiling face, raised his left hand, stretched out his index finger, and put it on the top of the tea tray, "Did I really drink it?"
Then a blood-red liquid came out of his fingertips, which was clearly the stuff of the teapot before, but he didn't expect Fu Lao to force out the water he had just drunk!
"Haha, do you remember the iron bamboo worm? The last time I used this teapot, I just brewed its dung!haha!"
Hearing this, combined with the smell of bamboo and the smell of suffocence just now, Shi Qilin immediately became disgusted and wanted to spit out the cup of pot water, but it turned out to be useless......
Watching Mr. Fu pour the teapot, the white leaves inside also came out.
Shi Qilin picked up a piece, "Could it be that this thing is hot?"
Fu Lao touched his beard, "That's right, this thing is called Huoli Leaf, it will heat up when it encounters water, I was just using it to wash the pot just now." ā
"Fu Lao ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, let's start making tea, haha. ā
Fu Lao took out a sandalwood box from the drawer of the Eight Immortals Table, opened it, and it was divided into several colorful small boxes, Fu Lao looked at it for a while, he picked out one of the gray ones, and started to make real tea.
The pot has been warmed just now, so now you can make tea directly, and the small box is opened, and there are only a few tea leaves in it.
The next steps of Fu Lao were all decent, and it was not until more than a quarter of an hour later that a cup of dark brown tea was placed in front of him, looking at this cup of tea, Shi Qilin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and tasted the tea in a serious way, which made him sigh involuntarily, "Tsk, I didn't expect it to be so delicious!"
As soon as the tea was in his stomach, Shi Qilin suddenly felt a strange state, just like a drowsy person who was poured a basin of cold water, and instantly refined his body a hundred times, Shi Qilin beat a spirit, poured himself another cup, and began to taste it slowly.
After this pot of tea was exhausted, Shi Qilin just drank three cups of tea!
At this time, Shi Qilin found that there were some more things on the wooden table in the pavilion.
Shi Qilin's stomach also happened to scream in embarrassment.
"Old Fu, let's eat now. Look, my stomach is starting to protest!"
Fu Lao stood up and smiled, "Haha, it's a good thing to be able to eat, it's a blessing to be able to eat, your blessing is great! ā
When Fu Lao walked in front, Shi Qilin followed, and now he began to fantasize about the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table.
When he sat down at the pavilion, he realized that there was only one dish on the table!
