Chapter 915 (1/2)
According to the different ways of drinking tea, it can be divided into four kinds: Tasting Tea, drinking tea, drinking tea and pouring tea.
Zhao Lingzhi's way of being totally stuffy is to drink tea at a good point and drink tea at a bad point.
On the wine table, it is forthright to drink, but it is not elegant to drink tea.
On the contrary, it is solemn, but it is slow. First of all, I bring the cup to my eyes and scan the tea soup with my eyes. It seems that I am observing a wonderful landscape painting.
Chu Yu couldn't help nodding his head. Only in this way can he be called ”tasting tea”. It seems that this young man was just a little bit stiff. Once he got familiar with it, he showed his accomplishment far beyond that of ordinary young people.
Solemnly holding the cup for a moment, he immediately raised his head to Chuyu and said, ”good tea.”
Chu Yu wanted to take the examination seriously, so he asked, ”what's good about it?”
Solemn and unhurried, he replied, ”if I read it correctly, this is Qihong, the queen of black tea. Top grade black tea is only judged from the shape, color, aroma, soup color, taste and leaf bottom. The shape of the cable is tight and even; The color is black and oily, and the bud tip is golden yellow; The aroma is subdivided according to different varieties, small black tea has rosin, Gongfu black tea has sugar, Chuanhong has orange sugar. Qihong is fragrant with orchid and fruit. I don't think it's necessary to say much about the fragrance. It's already in my heart; The color of the soup is red and bright. There is a bright gold ring on the edge of the bowl, and there is a phenomenon of ”cold turbidity” after cooling. This is the unique feature of top grade black tea. I was just observing this. The Golden Circle of this tea is bright. The whole bowl of tea looks like the afterglow of the setting sun. It's intoxicating. Naturally, it's excellent. The remaining two points, taste and leaf bottom. Tea soup taste mellow, fresh and sweet, buds and leaves neat and even, soft and thick, bright red color, fresh for the first. But it needs to be evaluated later. ”
”Well said! I didn't expect that there are still young people who understand this, but I didn't expect that. ” Chu Yu thought that he was solemn and just spoke casually, but he didn't expect to speak so carefully all of a sudden.
However, she did not know that the origin of Qimen black tea was only a hundred kilometers away from Qingping mountain, and the two provinces were already bordered. Based on the principle of proximity, Zen master has been drinking Qimen black tea. Under the influence of solemnity, I don't drink less. Of course, they were all encouraged by Fang Cun and stolen from Zen master. As for the other half moon pot of Zen master, it has been used solemnly and secretly.
”I'm flattered.” Solemnly raise your glass to thank you, then stop talking and start drinking tea.
The taste of Qimen black tea has its own red tape. As the saying goes, if you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you can recite them even if you can't write them. I have more solemn contact, and I have mastered some of these.
The first brew of Qimen black tea is not to drink. Add boiling water to the pot and soak for one minute. Then take the opportunity to wash the cup and pour out the water. Chu Yu had done this before, but there was no need to repeat it solemnly. Now he was holding the second cup of tea.
Solemnly, I picked up another tea cup from the table and tasted it. Use your right hand to cover the tea cup on the smelling cup, put your thumb on the bottom of the tea cup, and put your index finger on the bottom of the smelling cup. It's called carp leaping to the dragon's gate.
Then, hold the bottom of the cup with your left hand, lift the smelling cup from the cup with your right hand, and turn it around the cup mouth to create the artistic conception of ”sightseeing”.
After making this set, I put the smelling cup in my left palm solemnly, with the mouth of the cup facing down, rotated 90 degrees, the mouth of the cup facing myself, covered the mouth of the cup with my thumb, and put it under my nose to smell the fragrance.
However, he felt that the strong aroma came to his face. It was obvious that Chu Yu used Qihong tea, whose leaves and aroma were far more than those of Qihong tea which he had drunk. Although Zen master uses a valuable half moon purple clay pot, he drinks ordinary Qi Hong that the general public can afford.
After smelling the fragrance, he took the cup and drank it slowly.
And next to him, Zhao Lingzhi, who looked at him in amazement, was already stunned. He had already had a cup of tea. After so many days of serious agitation, he began to drink it. However, looking at the solemn appearance and Chu Yu's expression, it seems that he did it right. Zhao Lingzhi can't help the secret way. Fortunately, he brought Zhuang chonglai, otherwise he would be disgraced.
Three mouthfuls is a word for tasting tea, so we should drink three mouthfuls of tea, taste it carefully, and find out the sweetness of tea.
Solemnly slowly drank three small mouthfuls, on the tip of the tongue to taste a circle, just reluctant to swallow.
Then he closed his eyes, as if in the aftertaste, a moment later solemnly slowly opened his eyes, said: ”the taste is sweet, fresh and mellow, the fragrance is very long, like flowers, like fruits, like honey, like orchids. After drinking your cup of tea, I feel that I used to drink all boiled water. ”
Solemn and sincere, his face is full of regret and aftertaste. But without integrity, he sold the Zen master. Although Zen master uses ordinary Qi Hong, his tea making skill has a certain Zen flavor. Qi Hong is definitely no worse than Chu Yu. However, solemnity just defies his conscience to slander Zen master and praise Chu Yu. If you let Zen master know, you must let solemn face the wall for another three months. The reason is that monks don't lie!
In fact, I don't even know why I would say this kind of words against my heart. There is always a strange feeling in my heart that I want to make this woman happy. She's happy, solemn and naturally happy.
Sure enough, listening to the solemn comments and looking at the solemn expression, Chu Yu laughed happily.
Over the years, no one praised her tea art, but she was polite and modest, and never accepted it as calmly as today.
”There must be a reason why Chu always likes Qimen black tea so much? I dare to guess, Chu is not always the hometown of Qihong? ” Solemnly put down the cup and said with a smile.
Qihong was created by tea farmers of Han nationality in Anhui Province during the reign of Guangxu, but the earliest historical records can be traced back to the tea classics of Lu Yu in Tang Dynasty. It is produced in Qimen, Dongzhi, Guichi, Shitai, Yixian and Fuliang of Anhui Province. The reason why we seriously speculate that Chu Yu is a man of Anhui Province is still inferred from his own economic situation.
As the president of Jike group, Chu Yu's wealth is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Maybe ordinary people think that she is worthy of her identity by drinking Qi Hong. But solemnity knows that Qihong has been declining over the years, and there is a considerable gap with the top tea price.
For example, Pu'er tea, which has been hot fried in recent years, can reach more than 500000 yuan per cake. Qi Hong, the most expensive is only a few thousand yuan. Thousands of yuan, even the local tyrants in China don't like this kind of tea. If they don't make some Pu'er tea, the price will drop. What's more, these rich people abroad? Besides, Pu'er has a collection value.
Unless Chu Yu had a special feeling for Qi Hong, he would always choose this kind of tea. Another point is that Chu Yu's half moon tile pot is made of vermilion clay, and the purple clay pot emphasizes a pot of tea. Basically, a pot can only brew that kind of tea in its whole life, and it can't be used with each other, otherwise it will smell. And different purple clay is also suitable for different tea, half moon tile is the most suitable for Tieguanyin. Chu Yu used it to soak Qi Hong, obviously for a special reason.
To sum up, we solemnly draw the conclusion that Chu Yu is from Anhui Province.
