Chapter 12: The Heat
"Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural?"
After Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu left, the man in white sat in the pavilion, muttering to himself, "Do you have to drink like this to get the true meaning of the wine?"
He was a good drinker in his life, but he didn't like to drink too much. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He has always felt that drinking is a pleasure, and if you want to drink, the time and environment are just right, and the opportunity to drink is the right time.
But today, after listening to Yang Yi's words about drinking, my heart was quite shaken, "Is my drinking method really wrong?"
He thought for a while, then lifted a jar of spirits and poured a full bowl, "I'll try it too!"
After a few bowls of liquor, he was already drunk and fell to the ground.
..................
Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu had already reached the end of the path at this time.
An old pine stood in front of the two of them, and there was a small mahogany table under the tree, and in front of the small table there was a white-eyed old Taoist man, who looked strange and wrinkled, and was cleaning the tea bowl at this time.
When Yang Yi and Gu Caiyu walked to the table, the tea bowl had just been washed.
The old Taoist picked up the red clay teapot beside him and smiled at Yang Yi: "Xiaoyou came very quickly." ”
Yang Yi was drunk at this time, sat opposite the Taoist in a big way, and said with a smile: "It's better to be earlier than later." ”
The old Taoist smiled: "It's good to come, and drink a bowl of tea to relieve the wine a little." ”
He picked up the small wooden bucket under the table and said to Yang Yi: "This is the spring water of the cold and blue spring of Dangyang Mountain, and the same liter of water is three points lighter than ordinary well water." ”
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Good water, just right for making tea." ”
The Taoist smiled: "Yes, the spring water is clear and light, and it is the most suitable for making tea." ”
After pouring the spring water from the wooden barrel into the teapot, he held the bottom of the teapot with his left hand and said, "Wait a while, just a while." ”
As he spoke, the spout of the teapot held in his left hand began to steam, and in a moment, this person actually used his luck to boil the cold water in the teapot.
Gu Caiyu looked at the old Taoist in surprise, and looked at Yang Yi, as if he was comparing the skills of the two.
The old Taoist picked up a handful of tea leaves from the teapot on the table with his right hand and put it into the teapot, and his left hand still held the bottom of the teapot. He pinched a piece of tea and put it in the palm of his hand, and asked Yang Yi, "Little friend, do you know the origin of this tea." ”
The tea leaves in his palm were the size of a fingernail, and they turned out to be golden leaves, and when they looked roughly, they really looked like they were made of gold.
Yang Yi already recognized what this was at a glance, although this kind of tea is rare among the people, but it is also common in the Taishi Mansion, because this tea has a peculiar color, Yang Yi has drunk a lot of it before, and a can was stolen by Bai Yan.
Seeing Gu Caiyu looking at him, with an inquiring look, Yang Yi smiled and said: "This is the golden silk dragon scale tea of Huangmei Mountain in Qingzhou, the tea soup is golden and extremely rare, and the silver bud snow top of Yulong Mountain, Wushan black jade crystal, and Jinmei iron rock tea are called the four great colors." ”
The output of these four kinds of tea is very small, and they are not the children of famous families, and other idlers have not even heard of their names.
After all, Gu Caiyu's vision and knowledge were still a few points behind, she didn't know anything Yang Yi said, and said curiously: "Why are they called the Four Greats?"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Golden Silk Dragon Scale Tea, the tea is like a golden leaf, the silver bud snow top is as thin as a silver quill, and the black jade crystal of Wushan is like a black crystal, crystal clear, and the last Golden Eyebrow Iron Rock Tea You have also drunk in the Jade City, I don't need to say it." ”
Gu Caiyu said with a smile: "Oh, so that's the case, Jinmei Tieyan tea is cyan, and these four kinds of tea leaves are called the four great colors because of their different colors!"
The white-eyed Taoist nodded and said: "Xiaoyou has extraordinary knowledge, and the tea in Lao Dao's hand is indeed golden silk dragon scale tea." ”
Gu Caiyu said curiously: "I'll take a look, I'll take a look." ”
She took the tea from the Baimei Taoist and put it in her hand to look at it carefully, only to see that the veins of this piece of tea were like thin gold threads all over the leaves, forming scale-like patterns on the leaves.
It seems that this is how the name of "Golden Silk Dragon Scale Tea" came from.
At this time, the tea had been boiled, and the Baimei Taoist poured the tea into the tea bowl, pushed it in front of the two and said, "Please!"
Gu Caiyu looked at the tea bowl, only to see that the tea in the tea bowl was pale yellow, just like ****, the blank smoke curled on the tea bowl, and a smell of tea came to his nose, just smelled it a few times, his mind was clear, and the feeling of slight dizziness after drinking just now suddenly disappeared.
Gu Caiyu was about to pick up the tea bowl and taste it carefully, when he saw Yang Yi bring the tea bowl to his mouth, he didn't stop and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Caiyu said "oops", and said in his heart: "My third brother has drunk too much and has become unable to drink tea! This tea should be tasted slowly, where is it like this? ”
When she was in a trance, she heard Yang Yi say: "Drink quickly, drink quickly, this tea is the best to drink at this time, and after a while, the taste will be a little less." ”
Gu Caiyu was skeptical, but since it was Yang Yi who spoke, even if it was a poison in front of her, she would drink it without hesitation, not to mention that it was just a bowl of tea.
She picked up the tea bowl, took a big sip suddenly, and said in her heart: "This tea is so hot, don't burn your mouth!"
Who knew that this tea looked hot and steaming, but the entrance was extremely cool, like a cheerful sweet spring flowing straight into the abdomen from the throat, and in an instant, the whole body was cold, and then it was hot, after alternating between cold and hot five times in a row, a great feeling of comfort rose in the body, Gu Caiyu's forehead instantly appeared a layer of fine sweat, opened his eyes and said: "Oh, good tea!"
The white-eyed Taoist nodded and said: "This golden silk dragon scale tea, its quality is very cold, you have to drink it while it is hot, and if you delay it for a while, this tea will lose a little taste." The two little friends have extraordinary knowledge, and this bowl of tea has a three-point meaning. ”
Gu Caiyu secretly screamed ashamed, she was also worried that Yang Yi would be ridiculed, it turned out that she was the one who was almost ridiculed.
At this time, Yang Yigang put down the tea bowl, he looked at the Baimei Daoist, shook his head and said, "The taste of the tea is okay, but it is still four points away." ”
When the white-eyed Daoist heard this, the two long eyebrows trembled a few times, and asked, "Four points worse?"
Yang Yi said: "Yes, there is a difference of four points." ”
Baimei Daoren smiled dumbly, "Two years ago, I had the honor to pour tea for my Taixu Sect master, when he drank the tea I boiled, he also praised my tea skills, saying that my tea-making skills are first-class in the world, and his old man is a supreme master, and he has never said that my tea cooking skills are not hot enough." ”
The white-eyed Taoist looked at Yang Yi and said with a smile: "Why did it get to your mouth, Xiaoyou, my tea art is not good?"
Yang Yi said with a smile: "He said that you made tea well, that is a compliment, don't take it seriously." ”
He reached out and took the teapot from the Taoist's hand and splashed the rest of the tea, "The real golden silk dragon scale tea, after it is boiled, the entrance alternates between hot and cold nine times, and it is the best to reach it, your tea has only changed five times, I said that you are four points short of heat, can you still say that it is wrong?"
When Yang Yi stretched out his hand to take the teapot from the Taoist's hand, the Daoist saw his hand clearly, but he could see it clearly, and when Yang Yi's palm came out, he couldn't hide it no matter what.
With a light hand, the teapot was already in Yang Yi's hand.
At this time, Yang Yijiang had already spilled the tea in the teapot, and smiled at Gu Caiyu: "Little lady, give the uncle a smile, and I will make you a pot of tea." ”
