Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 197
The tea ceremony of later generations can be very complicated.

For noble families, the more complicated it is, the more elegant it is.

The so-called aristocratic etiquette consists of a set of very complicated procedures.

If you really want to talk about the significance of these processes, you may not be able to say why.

After Qin Xiedao's personal training, Yinger's tea art performance was quite satisfactory.

Of course, this standard is only relative to Qin Xiedao's standards.

For others, that's pretty extraordinary.

It turns out that tasting tea can still be played like this.

Even Kong Yingda, who was originally dissatisfied with Qin Xiedao, had an expression of expectation on his face.

Fortunately, Qin Xiedao didn't keep everyone waiting long, and began to personally serve the tea that Ying Er had made to the big brothers.

"Xiedao, you haven't even boiled your tea, just brew it with a pot of hot water, don't you think it's too bland?"

Fang Xuanling took the tea handed over by Qin Xiedao, and couldn't help asking the question in his heart.

Drinking boiled tea every day, and now some people say that tea is not for boiling, but for brewing. Whether it is Fang Xuanling or others, it is a bit unbelievable.

"Seniors, this Biluochun is made using a secret method, and it has a completely different flavor from the tea bricks you have seen before.

Whether this tea is good or not, you will know after drinking it. "

No amount of explanation is as convincing as taking a sip in person.

So even if it was Fang Xuanling who was asking the question, Qin Xiedao was not prepared to explain so much.

"To make a fool of yourself!"

Kong Yingda on the side was a little upset when he heard this.

Mainly the Qufu bookstore of the Confucius family, the current life is really sad.

Even if he was quite curious about Yinger's tea-making technique just now, Kong Yingda couldn't help but want to ridicule Qin Xie a few words.

"Huh? This Biluochun seems to be a bit extraordinary."

Li Gang, who hadn't spoken since he went upstairs, took a sip of the tea in the cup by himself, and then immediately showed a curious expression on his face.

Seeing Li Gang's reaction, the others raised their teacups one after another and drank the first cup of tea.

"The first taste is bitter, the second taste is astringent, and the third taste is sweet. Aftertaste, it is sweet and fragrant. Plainness is its true nature, bitterness is its journey, and sweetness is its gift. To be honest, this Biluochun is indeed better than the previous ones. Tea bricks are amazing."

Xiao Yu, an important minister who has gone through three dynasties, grasped the key point at once.

Soon, everyone commented on Biluochun.

"Seniors, this tea tasting is actually very particular.

A cup of tea is divided into three sips, the first sip is to test the temperature of the tea, the second sip is to taste the tea aroma, and the third sip is to drink the tea. "

As Qin Xiedao spoke, he demonstrated it himself.

"Sipping tea, the tea soup swirls in the mouth, and suddenly feels the fragrance in the mouth and nose. The freshness, freshness and sweetness of Biluochun are all in words."

Looking at Qin Xiedao among the ministers, talking and laughing freely, and the girl Qiqi who was in charge of playing the piano next to her, couldn't help but her beautiful eyes sparkled.

Talented, good-looking, rich, and high-ranking, the key is still young.

Such a person is simply the most ideal client in the eyes of a brothel woman.

"Qin Dalang, may I ask this Biluochun, how is it made? Why does it taste better even though no salt and ginger and onions are added?"

Kong Yingda's question can be regarded as asking the voices of many people.

"That's right, how is this Biluochun made? Why does it seem that each piece of tea leaves exists independently, which is completely different from the situation of tea bricks?"

Fang Xuanling's curiosity was not lacking at all.

However, Qin Xiedao naturally wouldn't say anything about this matter.

"This Biluochun was made with the efforts of the ten techniques of shaking, belting, squeezing, throwing, straightening, stretching, buckling, grasping, pressing, and grinding. It took three days and three nights to make it through a nine-nine-eight process. from.

How do you seniors think Biluochun is better than the current tea bricks? "

"This Biluochun is really good. From now on, my family will not make tea anymore. After drinking this Biluochun, I can't drink the boiled tea full of ginger and onion flavor."

Li Gang gave Qin Xiedao a rare support, which surprised Qin Xiedao.

Among his influences, this prince killer should be a serious and difficult person to deal with.

But judging from the limited contacts, it seems that this is not the case.

Although Li Gang is very old, he is much better at communicating than many middle-aged people.

"Qin Dalang, you held this tea tasting party just to promote your family's Biluochun, right?"

Kong Yingda's words obviously started to cause trouble.

However, Qin Xiedao was not afraid at all.

"That's right, the purpose of the tea tasting party is to promote this Biluochun. But after you have tasted Biluochun, do you still feel that today's tea tasting meeting is a waste of your time?"

Qin Xiedao has never had a good impression of Kong Yingda.

Although the development of Confucianism was very beneficial to the rule of the dynasty, Confucius was indeed a remarkable figure.

But after hundreds of years of changes, many things in Confucianism have begun to change.

However, the Confucian family, who stuck to the rules, did not keep pace with the times to update and improve Confucius' theories.

In this way, in Qin Xiedao's eyes, Confucianism is rather weak.

"How much is this Biluochun? Where can it be sold? When I turn around, I will ask the housekeeper to buy it immediately."

At Li Gang's age, there is no need to worry about losing face when talking about money.

Only when there is no money, is it possible to lose face.

"Master Li, our Biluochun is sold by weight, not by the catty."

"Cut, 16 taels per catty, how much you have set for one tael, and how much is it per catty, doesn't it mean you have it?"

Kong Yingdan retorted disdainfully.

"This Biluochun is divided into three grades, heaven, earth and human, and each grade has three grades: upper, middle and lower.

At present, only the herringbone-level Biluochun is made, ranging from one to two hundred Wen to five hundred Wen. "

As soon as Qin Xiedao's words fell to the ground, various questions rang out on the scene.

"What? It costs a few hundred Wen for a tael? Most of the tea bricks now cost less than a few hundred Wen for a catty. You are stealing money."

"Why is there only Biluochun at the character level now, when will there be one at the level of Tian?"

Facing everyone's questions, Qin Xiedao answered them one by one without haste.

"What about Biluochun and other tea bricks, everyone has their own justice.

This piece of pottery may only cost a few pennies, but a piece of fine porcelain can be sold for a few pennies. Why is that?

As for Biluochun, who speaks Tianzi, he can only wait until after the Qingming Festival next year.

Because only spring tea leaves can produce Tianzi-grade Biluochun. "

With Qin Xiedao's explanation, the scene turned into a noisy press conference.
