Chapter 1377 Tea 0 Drama
The people who came to this tea party were all tea lovers, so the content of everyone’s chats was basically related to tea.
What else is Wu Hai? Wuhai is not a human, that is a beast.
Ji Feng, who had just changed places with Yuan Zhou, sat in front of the tea set and his expression became gentle.
Ji Feng is always gentler when it comes to tea.
At this time, Yu Daoyi stood up and said: "Everyone."
Yu Dao spoke out one by one, and everyone sitting there looked over, but Yu Dao just took the piano from behind to in front of him.
It was a brown-red lyre, with no carvings on the body, but the wood texture on it was clearly visible, forming a beautiful natural pattern. The strings on it were straight and clearly tuned.
"Thank you Yuan Xiaoyou for your invitation today. I'm here to play a piece of music to entertain you." Yu Daoyi hugged the piano and said.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest Yu." Yuan Zhou thanked him first.
"Old Taoist, you are indeed trustworthy." Zhou Shijie teased.
"Thank you, Taoist Master." Mr. Ling nodded.
"Thank you."
While everyone was saying thank you, Technician Cheng laid out a cushion nearby so that Daoyi could sit on it while playing the piano.
The mat was spread on the lawn not far from the stone table. Yu Daoyi followed Technician Cheng's instructions and went directly over to sit down.
Sit with your legs crossed on the ground, place the lyre on your legs, then gently pluck the strings, and the lyre will make a "clanging" sound.
After a little tuning, Yu Daoyi spoke again: "Today I only tuned the strings of Mountains and Flowing Waters, so let's play Mountains and Flowing Waters."
After saying that, Yu Daoyi started playing.
The body of the piano is crisp and sweet, like gurgling water, very beautiful.
After a short period of piano music, Ji Feng said: "Since Taoist Master Yu has started playing the piano, I will start making tea."
After speaking, Ji Feng bent slightly towards all the tea sets and tea leaves, then sat down again and started washing the cups.
“The color of the Iron Arhat prepared by Chef Yuan is sandalwood, and it is obviously roasted at high fire, because this kind of tea has high fire resistance and is also suitable for roasting at high fire. After roasting, the inner substance is mellowed, making the taste fuller. Sweet and thick, this taste is acceptable to most tea drinkers." Ji Feng said while washing the cup.
And Yuanzhou, who knew all this, also listened very carefully.
After a while, the tea cup was washed, and Ji Feng started to make tea. He used a white porcelain tureen as usual, but when filling the water for the first brew, Ji Feng used boiling water, and then poured water along the edge of the bowl to fill the tureen with tea leaves. Injecting it to 70%, this whole set of movements is very smooth and elegant.
The time control is very strict. The first brewing time is completed in five seconds as usual, and then tea is poured for everyone who is doing it.
"This first brew is the first brew and will have a slight smell of fire. The essence of Iron Arhat lies in the second and third brews, and the taste is all in it." Ji Feng said and started brewing the second brew.
The second soaking time was slightly longer, one minute and thirty seconds, and Ji Feng, who had never cooked before, measured the time very accurately.
Ji Feng is worthy of being a master. The color of the tea he brews is bright orange-red, and it is very beautiful when slowly poured into the porcelain white cup.
It's not as bright as Yuan Zhou's slightly dark and subdued one at the beginning.
Yuan Zhou picked up the tea cup and smelled the tea aroma carefully, while Zhou Shijie also slowly tasted it and said: "The aroma is rich but elegant, but also refreshing. It is a good tea."
"Indeed, the taste is fresher and smoother than what I brewed, and the rocky charm is obvious. It makes you feel choked when you enter your throat. It feels like the nourishment of the sun, rain, dew, and mountain soil is reflected in the rich and full tea soup." Yuan Zhou's objective evaluation clearly saw the gap between himself and the master.
"It's true as Chef Yuan said, the aroma lasts in your mouth and tastes great." Chu Xiao nodded in agreement.
"That's true. Master Ji has great tea skills." Zhou Shijie also nodded with a smile.
"The third brew, please taste it." Ji Feng didn't react at all after being praised. He just picked up the third brew again and brought it to everyone.
"Thank you, Master Ji." Yuan Zhou took the tea cup with both hands and said.
The same goes for Zhou Shijie and Chu Xiao,
After taking the tea cup, he thanked him seriously and started tasting.
The second and third cups of tea tasted the most delicious, so we didn’t eat these two cups of tea with any snacks, but just savored them slowly.
Tea inherently has a tea charm, and thanks to Ji Feng's superb tea art, this top-quality Iron Arhat has a mellow taste and long-lasting fragrance, and Yu Daoyi's piano music adds to the fun of drinking tea.
The body of the piano lingers in your ears, and the taste in your mouth is wonderful. This is simply a superb hearing and taste enjoyment.
After the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters Meet a Soulmate" ended, Ji Feng's Iron Arhat also finished.
Yu Daoyi put away the piano again, stood up and nodded slightly, then returned to his seat to drink tea.
Just kidding, it was time to make green tea soon, so of course he had to go back and drink it.
Therefore, Yu Daoyi carefully arranged the performance at this time.
Mingqian tea is as expensive as oil. From this, we can see how precious this tea is. Ji Feng is indeed a master. Whether it is the semi-fermented oolong tea Tieluohan tea or the precious Mingqian tea, he explained the tea art one by one. , and then start to wake up and make tea.
He uses glass tea sets for Mingqian Tea, which allows the green tea to be better viewed.
Drinking tea, the sun shines in the courtyard, and the weather is not so cold. Instead, because there are many people in the small courtyard, it feels warm and warm.
By the time the two teas were brewed, Ji Feng was impressed by Yuanzhou's seriousness and rigorous taste, especially at such a young age and already so famous, yet he could still absorb it with an open mind.
This alone is something that most people cannot do.
Therefore, when he finished tasting the green tea, Ji Feng took the initiative and said, "I wonder if Chef Yuan knows everything about tea?"
"You know, in addition to making tea, tea ordering, tea fighting and traditional tea performances were also very popular in ancient times. This tea play is also called Fencha, and Fencha is a process that continues to improve with the continuous improvement of tea ordering skills. What was produced was a tea art that was brewed in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and formed in the early Northern Song Dynasty. It was popular in the Song Dynasty, declined in the Yuan Dynasty, and died in the late Qing Dynasty." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"It seems that Chef Yuan's knowledge is quite broad." Ji Feng nodded with satisfaction.
"I only understand a little bit," Yuan Zhou said.
"Nowadays, there are very few people who know the tea drama. It's pretty good that Chef Yuan knows the general outline and order of the tea drama." Ji Feng said this with a bit of loneliness.
Because as Yuan Zhou said, these tea plays were lost in the late Qing Dynasty. They have only reproduced some of them now, but after all, too few young people know about them.
"Master Ji is going to perform a tea show today?" Zhou Shijie asked.
"I heard that this skill is extremely difficult." Chu Xiao also asked.
"It's rare to have such good tea today. Although we can't have a tea fight, we can still perform some tea tricks to show my mood." Ji Feng nodded and said with a gentle expression.
"Then thank you Master Ji." Yuan Zhou was pleasantly surprised and said with a calm expression.
"You're welcome, I'm just performing this time, so please watch carefully." Ji Feng nodded, glanced at Yuan Zhou and said.
