Chapter 217: A faint pretense

The old lady smiled, patted Li Biqi's head twice, and scolded with a smile: "Little girl, what are you muttering in your heart? How can you speculate about Mr. Xu's cultivation? Why don't you thank Mr. Xu quickly?"

Li Biqi came to Xu Xian a little unwillingly, and bent down slightly: "Thank you, Mr. for rescuing my grandmother." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xu Xian touched his nose, hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Miss Li is polite, don't be so polite." ”

Li Biqi pursed her mouth, glared at Xu Xian with some unconvinced, and whispered: "You must not lie to my grandmother, otherwise, I will not spare you, hum, when my grandmother is gone, I must teach you a good lesson." ”

The old lady is a human spirit, and at a glance, she knew that Li Biqi was making trouble, and said, "Stinky girl, what are you doing in front of Mr.? Why don't you come back soon?"

Li Biqi stuck out her tongue and pretended to be obedient and said, "I'm not weird? After speaking, she jumped back to the old woman's side, but Li Biqi's body was shaking, which made Xu Xian a little dizzy, and the other subordinates had already moved their eyes, seeing Xu Xian in a daze, the old lady glanced at Xu Xian a little strangely.

"Sir, please drink tea, this is a fine tea, please sir, please taste it. Steward Li personally brought a cup of tea to show respect, everyone in this family is very respectful to the old lady, this person is Li Gang's mother, the old lady of the Li Mansion.

The tea of the Song Dynasty was basically tea cakes, and when drinking, it needed to be ground into pieces and put into a teacup, and then brewed with boiling water, the procedure was very complicated, and Xu Xian was not used to it anyway.

Glancing at the tea brought by Steward Li, it should be said that it was a thick tea soup, taking a sip, the tea taste was very strong, and I tasted some tea powder, it felt really bad, it was not the taste that Xu Xian liked, Xu Xian liked black tea and green tea from another world.

"How?" the old lady was very knowledgeable about the tea ceremony, and hurriedly asked when she saw Xu Xian finish tasting the tea.

"Good tea, good tea, I have never drunk such a good tea, thank you old lady for your hospitality. Xu Xian hurriedly put down the teacup and hugged his fists in thanks.

The old lady smiled and said, "Sir doesn't need to be so polite, I don't think Mr. likes to drink tea very much?"

Xu Xian smiled and said: "I like to study randomly, a few days ago when I was studying Chinese herbal medicine, I made some new tea, I called it green tea, and we have a lot of differences in the way we drink tea today, it is simpler and faster, but some people who can't get into the eyes of the masters, I made a trick." ”

"Mr. is polite, to create a new kind of tea, enough to prove the wisdom of Mr., Mr. and take it out first, let the old body taste one or two? A trace of excitement flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she stared at Xu Xian directly.

Steward Li and Li Biqi next to him all looked at Xu Xian suspiciously, after more than a thousand years of development, the tea ceremony can be said to have reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, and there are already many books on tea, which has become an art, but it is not something that anyone can create a new tea, if you are not careful, you will be ridiculed by people in the tea ceremony world.

Xu Xian took out a palm-sized flat jade bottle from his sleeve and said, "Please ask the old lady to let people take out a few teacups, and then bring a pot of boiling water, I will make a cup of green tea for the old lady, and ask the old lady to taste it, so that I don't take it out indiscriminately in the future and make people laugh." ”

Steward Li hurriedly said to the servant who was waiting: "Why don't you hurry up and bring a set of tea sets, prepare a pot of boiling water, well, just boil water here, the old lady wants to see a new tea, don't talk too much when you go out, otherwise, you will be severely punished." ”

Soon, the next person brought a set of tea sets, Xu Xian took three teacups, opened the cork of the jade bottle, poured some green tea into each teacup, and then brewed the tea with boiling water, and then poured out the tea in the teacup.

"The first cup of tea can't be drunk, it's called washing tea, and you can only drink it from the second cup. ”

Saying this, Xu Xian added eight points of water to the three teacups, poured the boiling water into the teacups, and the green tea leaves were washed and rotated, and the tea leaves that were originally Zou Cheng began to unfold, verdant and dripping, just like the tea leaves that had just been picked from the tea tree, and there was an urge to taste it when he looked at it.

The turquoise tea, crystal clear, the cup can see the bottom, it is completely different from the tea Xu Xian drank just now, this is called tea, and what you drank just now can only be called tea soup.

Xu Xian nodded, and the next person hurriedly brought three cups of tea to the old lady, Steward Li and Li Biqi.

"Three, don't be in a hurry to taste it first, smell it first, this tea aroma is closest to the taste of freshly picked tea leaves. Xu Xian closed his eyes slightly and made a gesture of smelling the smell.

The three of them were really obedient, they all closed their eyes slightly, and gently sniffed the hot air coming out of the teacup, and suddenly showed a look of shock.

Ignoring anything else, all three of them took a sip impatiently, smacked their mouths, tasted carefully, and only breathed a long sigh of relief after a long time.

"Sir is really a god, this green tea can definitely open up another kind of tea ceremony, that is, I don't know if green tea can be mass-produced? The old lady tasted a few more mouthfuls of it.

"Of course you can, and drinking green tea for a long time is also very good for your health, but green tea is a little different from the tea cakes we drink, I have researched, tea cakes are warm, suitable for winter drinking, conducive to digestion, increase appetite, and strengthen internal organs, while green tea is cold, suitable for summer drinking, but also anti-inflammatory, but I see that most of them like tea cakes now, although there is also green tea, but it is different from mine. Xu Xian knew that there was also green tea on the market, but it was not as good as him, the production process was much worse, and the taste of the tea brewed was much worse.

Therefore, although it is the same green tea and the name is the same, the tea is different.

Li Biqi looked at Xu Xian with admiration on her face at this time, and her original suspicions were swept away.

"Miss Li Biqiong drank more green tea, which was very good for the acne on his face, and this bottle was given to the old lady. Xu Xian put the jade bottle on the table and said secretly: "When I take out the black tea, you will be even more shocked."

"It's noon now, and Mr. will have lunch in the house, and the old man will thank him for saving his life. The old lady smiled, and began to tell the people to prepare lunch.

Xu Xian and the others were chatting in the living room, Xu Xian's knowledge was not comparable to these people at all, and he often said some profound words, so that others could not figure out his depth, and his eyes were all with a trace of awe.

It was already afternoon when he came out of Li's house, Li Gang's wife was old after all, and she went to rest after eating a little at noon, Xu Xian couldn't always wait there to see a doctor, so he could only come out first and come back later.

And when eating, Li Biqi used tea instead of wine, wanted to worship Xu Xian as a teacher, and wanted to learn Xu Xian's martial arts.

This made Xu Xian a little embarrassed, in the Song Dynasty, women worshipped a man as a teacher, or to learn martial arts, there was always something inappropriate, Li Gang's wife also objected, but under Li Biqi's soft grinding and hard bubbles, in the end Xu Xian could only accept her as a registered disciple.

"Inexplicably, there is a registered female disciple, and the days to come will be fun. Xu Xian said secretly. (To be continued.) )
