White tea legend

Chapter 196 White Tea Tea Art
There is a simple plaque hanging on the lintel of the teahouse, with three characters "Tingyuxuan" written on it. The writing is graceful and graceful, giving off a good atmosphere.

This is the "Tingyuxuan" where "Xiangming Yaxu" is specially used to entertain female relatives.

There are two pots of emerald green bamboo placed on both sides in front of the door, swaying in the wind, seeming to welcome every guest who comes. The door is ajar, and a faint scent of tea comes out, which makes people yearn for it.

When you push the door open and enter, the first thing you see is a huge landscape painting, hanging on the wall opposite the door. In the painting, there are mountains and mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist. It is as if you can hear the gurgling springs in the mountains, which makes people feel peaceful. There are several exquisite calligraphy works hanging on the surrounding walls, and every stroke and every stroke reveals the taste and cultivation of the owner.

The furnishings in the tea room are extremely elegant. Mahogany tables and chairs are arranged in an orderly manner. The tables are covered with fine embroidered tablecloths and exquisite tea sets are placed on them. Each seat is equipped with a small cushion to make the ladies sit more comfortably.

In the corner, there is a pot of peonies in full bloom. The colors are bright, but they do not look tacky. Instead, they add a bit of vitality to this quiet tea room.

At this moment, in "Tingyuxuan", the sound of the piano could be heard.

A guzheng tune sounded melodiously, and the notes flowed like a clear spring, clear and distant.

Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin and a group of female relatives were sitting here, watching the tea art performance of the White Tea Lady.

Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin and the female relatives sat around a long table. A set of exquisite white porcelain tea sets and several unique palace lanterns were placed on the table. They exuded a soft light and added a bit of extravagance to the tea art performance. Mystery.

The White Tea Lady is wearing plain clothes and holding a purple clay pot in her hand. Her movements are gentle and smooth, and every step seems so natural and solemn.

"The first step is to wash the tea and wake up the sleeping tea leaves..." White Snake said with a smile.

The white lady gently poured hot water into the purple clay pot, and then poured it out quickly to wake up the sleeping tea leaves.

"Then comes the warming pot..."

White Snake warms the inside and outside of the pot with boiling water to ensure the perfect release of the tea aroma. Then, she gently poured the white tea into the pot, revealing a casual grace in her movements.

Mrs. Pei and the female relatives all held their breath and did not dare to make any sound. The White Snake's tea art performance seemed to make the whole world stand still, leaving only her conversation with the tea.

Immediately afterwards, the white lady gently poured in hot water. The water temperature was moderate, not urgent, not slow, just right.

I saw the tea buds standing upright in the water, as if silver needles were suspended in the water, it was so beautiful.

"White Snake, what kind of tea is this? It's different from the tea we usually see and drink. What we see when we drink are leaves, which look like needles..." Someone couldn't help but ask.

Her question was echoed by other women.

All the female relatives nodded, indicating that they also wanted to know the answer.

The white lady couldn't help but glance at the woman who asked the question.

It was a young woman, wearing a long brocade dress with gold peonies embroidered on the hem, and the colors were bright and eye-catching. The top is a light purple skirt and a green belt is tied around the waist, making her figure look graceful. The embroidered soft shoes on her feet were as light as clouds.

The face is like a peach blossom, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, the face is gentle, the skin is as white as jade, and the eyes are like autumn water, shining with the light of wisdom. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a slight smile. The hair is tied high into a bun and fixed with a hosta. A few strands of green silk hang down the side of the neck, adding a bit of femininity.

She was sitting among a group of female relatives, her manners were dignified, she seemed friendly yet solemn, and her speech was bookish. She must be the daughter of an official.

This outfit made Bai Cha think of a poem in his mind: crimson silk shawl, green feathers slanting on the temples.

People in the Li Dynasty liked to compose poetry, and the streets were full of poets. After living in Chang'an for a long time, Bai Cha became poetic and picturesque.

Seeing Bai Cha sizing up the young woman, Mrs. Pei, as the sworn sister, hurriedly introduced: "Sister, this is Mrs. Yao, the Fourth Lady of Mr. Yao's family."

"Mrs. Bai, you are polite." Mrs. Yao Si nodded hurriedly to Bai Cha.

"Mrs. Yao Si is polite," Bai Cha returned the gift and said, "The tea I brewed for you ladies today is called Baihao Silver Needle. It comes from Taimu Mountain in Changxi County, Minzhong County. The shape of this tea is straight like a needle, full of It is covered with white hair, like silver and snow, hence its name.

Just brew Baihaoyinzhen. There are a few things you need to pay attention to when brewing:
The first is the selection of tea utensils. The most suitable tea utensil for Silver Needle is a white porcelain tureen because it can highlight the color and shape of the tea leaves. The second is the water temperature. High temperature helps to better release the aroma and taste of the tea, but boiling water cannot be used. The boiling water needs to be allowed to cool for a while.

The third is the water injection method. When brewing Baihao Silver Needle, you can use fixed-point water injection or ring-wall water injection..."

Bai Cha introduced and demonstrated how to pour water.

"Fixed-point water injection refers to injecting water directly into the center point of the tea leaves, allowing the water flow to pass through the tea leaves and gradually spread outward, so that the tea leaves can evenly release the tea soup.

When filling the water around the wall, start from the edge of the tureen and pour water in a circle from the outside to the inside. This can evenly infiltrate the dry tea and fully release the aroma and taste of the Silver Needle.

When filling water, you should also pay attention to lowering the kettle and keeping the spout as close to the tureen as possible to ensure the stability and accuracy of the water flow.

Finally, master the soup time to get the best taste and aroma. "

The explanation of white tea assisted the tea art display, which was so smooth that the female family members were amazed.

"I really want to learn." The female relatives whispered.

Bai Cha smiled and said: "Don't worry, today all the ladies are the distinguished guests of 'Xiangming Yaxu', please rest assured that I will serve you. In the future, I will arrange a special time to invite all the ladies to learn tea art together." , okay?”

"Okay!" The female relatives cheered, with smiles on their faces.

The waiting time seemed to become interesting. Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin and the female family members quietly observed the changes of the tea leaves and enjoyed the tranquility of this moment.

I thought I could taste the tea, but Bai Cha poured out the first tea water, and everyone let out a pityful sigh.

"Oh, what a pity." Mrs. Yao Si said.

White Tea explains: “This is to remove dust and impurities on the surface of the tea leaves and make the tea soup clearer.

Next, it’s finally time to pour tea.

White Tea gently lifted the pot and poured the tea into everyone's cups. The tea showed a light golden color and exuded a fresh breath.

"Ladies, please have a drink of white tea soup."

Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin and the female family members all picked up the tea cups and tasted them carefully. The tea soup melted in the mouth and was sweet and long-lasting, making people feel relaxed and happy.

In such an elegant environment, listening to Zheng music and sipping tea, everyone experienced the spiritual joy brought by tea art and looked forward to the next tea party.

The tea party is coming to an end. Outside, the adults are preparing to go home, and the women must also get up and say goodbye.

Suddenly, a bug broke through the window and danced in the room. The insect's wings were noisy, its body was huge, and its color was like charcoal. It came suddenly and disturbed the peace in the room.

All the female family members were spoiled and spoiled. They had never seen anything like this before. They screamed and fled in all directions. Some were hiding under the tables, and some were hiding behind the curtains. For a while, there was chaos in the tea room, and screams and crying could not be heard.

Bai Cha was about to drive away the insect when he heard Mrs. Yao Si said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just a locust. It has no malicious intent. It probably just entered by mistake."

Lady Yao Si smiled calmly, and just when she was about to appease everyone, the locust seemed to be attracted to her, and actually flew to her exposed arm and settled quietly.

Everyone was stunned, including Mrs. Yao Si. Just as he was about to drive them away, the locust seemed to be disturbed by the sound, fluttered its wings, circled around the room, and finally flew out of the window and disappeared into the blue sky.

The female relatives breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and all praised Mrs. Yao Si for being fearless and courageous in the face of danger.

Bai Cha looked at Mrs. Yao Si, then looked out the window, but his brows furrowed.
