Chapter 60 Behavior Suspicious
Qian Hongxian's grandfather likes to drink tea.I have been fascinated by it since I was a child, and I know a little about the tea ceremony.For tea lovers, brewing tea is an art, and every step is very particular.The same is true for decocting water and adjusting water.

Water is the mother of tea. The ancients said: "Ten percent of tea is seven percent water; the nature of tea must come from water, and eighth of tea meets ten percent of water, and it is also ten percent; ten percent of tea meets eighth of water, and it is also eight percent." the importance.The reason for decocting and adjusting the water is to make the water taste better.

In the whole process of frying water, there is also special attention to the degree of boiling water.

The water has three boils, the boiling is like a fish's eye, the first boil is made with a slight sound, the second boil is the edge like a gushing spring, and the third boil is the surging water, which is too old to eat.Therefore, the water must be kept at one to two boils before the whole tea soup is used for forming.

At this time, the sound of boiling water is equivalent to the gospel to Qian Hongxian, which means that she does not have to continue to perform wooden stakes.Seeing her happy face, she reminded aloud: "My lord, it's time to drink tea."

Ji Nanjin finally had a reaction, put down the scroll in her hand, raised her head, looked at her calmly and said, "Can you make tea?"

If Qian Hongxian said no at this time, then her reminder just now was undoubtedly self-deprecating, but making tea is like reading a book, something that idlers would have the pleasure to do, if a girl from the countryside said she knew how to tea , it is inevitable to be suspicious.

In particular, the other party's eyes seemed to have the power to see through people's hearts, which made people inexplicably guilty.At this moment, being stared at by the other party, Qian Hongxian couldn't even lie, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I know a little bit."

Ji Nanjin then pointed to the tea leaves and tea sets on the table.

Qian Hongxian was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was going to help him prepare the tea soup, and he felt surprised for a while.

Seeing her standing still, Ji Nanjin reminded: "The water should be old." His voice was very pleasant, like the spring water in a mountain stream, clear and moist, with an irresistible power.

When Qian Hongxian came to his senses, he already had an extra teaspoon in his hand.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Hongxian got rid of distracting thoughts, and began to prepare the tea soup carefully.She first stirs it counterclockwise with a teaspoon to form a vortex, then slowly pours the tea into the pot, and then puts in the main ingredients; after the leaves are fully unfolded, pop into the aroma...

During the whole process, she did it like flowing clouds and flowing water, with an indescribable beauty.

"Okay." Qian Hongxian put down the teaspoon, poured the tea soup into the tea bowl prepared in advance, and raised her head, only to find that Ji Nanjin's gaze had shifted from the book to her at some point, even though the other party's expression did not reveal anything It was strange, but Qian Hongxian still had an inexplicable thump in his heart.

Ji Nanjin watched her skillfully stir, put in the tea primer, the main ingredients including the fragrance, every step was mastered just right, and she was like everyone else.This is obviously something that a person who is proficient in tea ceremony can do.Surprise flashed in Qian Hongxian's eyes, but he didn't show it in front of Qian Hongxian.

Qian Hongxian handed the filled tea to Ji Nanjin, calmed down and found a excuse for himself: "I have seen the old people in the village make tea before, and I have learned a little bit. Please try it, my lord!"

Ordinary old people don't know so much, and the way she made tea just now clearly came from the court.Although they are not exactly the same, they are also seven points similar.
