Chapter 1378 Tomorrow Rises From the Sea

Ji Feng's meaning was a bit obvious. It was obvious that even Chu Xiao could tell that it was because of Yuan Zhou that he was interested in performing the tea show.

But now Chu Xiao is indifferent to this, because tea tasting has never been his strong point, but he is still more interested in the pastries on the table.

"Sister Zhao, go and prepare the grinding tools." Yuan Zhou called to Technician Cheng.

"Okay, master." Technician Cheng immediately ran to get the tools for grinding tea leaves.

You must know that although Yuan Zhou does not know how to play with tea, the red, white, black and green tea cakes mentioned above require the use of fine tea powder.

"Since we have prepared the tea set, let's try these refreshments." Chu Xiao suggested.

"Okay." Zhou Shijie nodded.

"Are these four-color tea cakes made from tea powder?" Ji Feng asked.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou said.

"In that case, let's start with this one." Ji Feng said.

"Please." Yuan Zhou extended his hand to signal.

"I'm not polite, old man." Zhou Shijie started eating with a spoon.

"I won't be polite to Yuan Xiaoyou's tea," Yu Daoyi said.

The temperature of this tea cake is slightly cool. The layers of different colors are overlapped and cut into diamond shapes. It looks particularly small and beautiful.

Chu Xiao picked up the small plate and looked at it carefully before eating.

But Ji Feng was different. He held the plate in his hand and smelled it carefully.

There is no need for Yuan Zhou to explain these colors of tea. Everyone sitting here knows that they are nothing more than white tea, dark tea, black tea and green tea.

But what is rare is how these tea leaves are perfectly blended together and the aromas are blended together. Otherwise, the aromas of these teas are messily intertwined and would not be delicious.

Therefore, Ji Feng immediately smelled the aroma of tea.

But this smell made Ji Feng understand the level of Yuan Zhou's cooking skills. Whether it was the aroma of black tea, the fresh taste of green tea, or the special aroma of white tea and black tea, he could clearly smell it, but there was a strange... A sense of integration.

It is said that it is a pastry, but it is actually more like a jelly, which is bright and transparent.

"The smell is very good." A smile appeared on Ji Feng's face, then he picked up a small spoon and stuffed the pastry into his mouth.

When eating this pastry, he didn't eat it slowly like Zhou Shijie or Chu Xiao. After tasting it slowly, he swallowed it in one bite.

But it was in this bite that I tasted something different. The texture of the pastry was like jelly, but it tasted soft and waxy, and the texture was warm but not cold.

The entrance is smooth like jelly at first, but it is soft and waxy when chewed. After biting open, a fresh tea fragrance explodes in the mouth.

But it is not like real tea, which is bitter at first and then sweet. Instead, the fragrance of tea spreads in the mouth with a touch of sweetness.

"Bah, bah, bah!" It wasn't until Ji Feng finished eating and swallowed the four-color tea that the faint bitter taste of tea spread in his mouth.

However, this hint of bitterness is not so much bitterness as it is the flavor of tea, which is both bitter and sweet, and the taste is memorable.

"Nice refreshments." Ji Feng kept nodding.

"Indeed." Zhou Shijie also nodded in praise.

"It's more refreshing than Western tea snacks." Chu Xiao commented objectively.

"It's delicious." Yu Daoyi was much simpler and said directly.

As for the diners at the other tables, except Wu Hai, others also commented a few words, and even Hang Tian couldn't help but praise it.

You must know that in addition to knife skills, Huaiyang cuisine is also famous for its dim sum. Although Hangtian is not good at it, he can taste it.

"Chef Yuan is young but proficient in various skills. He is really formidable. My old bones seem to have been shot to death on the beach." Hangtian laughed at himself.

"This world is originally dominated by young people." Mr. Ling continued.

"Indeed." Zhou Shijie nodded in agreement.

Ji Feng looked at Yuan Zhou with satisfaction and then at Technician Cheng and asked, "Are these the tools?"

"Yes, because I don't know how to divide the tea, so this is all I have for now. Master Ji, what else is missing?" Yuan Zhou said.

"In this case, let me show you a life on the sea tomorrow. The rising sun is always radiant." Ji Feng looked up at the sun that had slowly set, but said with a smile on his face.

After speaking, Ji Feng started grinding tea leaves with the tools he had just delivered without waiting for anyone to answer.

In fact, tea play is divided into tea, water painting, soup play, tea play, etc. It is an ancient tea ceremony that can make the veins of tea soup form physical images. Its characteristic is that it only uses tea and water without other raw materials to appear in the tea soup. Produce words and images, and just now Ji Feng also said that he will draw a picture of the rising moon on the sea.

"This time I use ancient green tea to demonstrate the rising sea." Ji Feng said, taking out the green tea box and starting to grind it.

Tea Baixi first requires fine grinding and sieving of tea leaves, superb brewing technology with extremely fine tea foam, and stirring with a tea spoon to form tea lines to compose the image.

Therefore, the first tool to grind tea leaves is very important.

What Yuanzhou provided was a small hand-held stone grinder. The gears of this stone grinder were very delicate and could turn the tea leaves into fine tea powder even in one pass. However, Ji Feng still grinded the tea leaves carefully three times until they were green. The tea powder is so fine that the particles cannot be seen clearly.

The tea foam was carefully sieved by Ji Feng three times before brewing.

The most important part of this tea show is brewing and stirring with a spoon. It is precisely because of the different brewing techniques that the various patterns and characters of the tea show come into being.

This time, what Ji Feng used was no longer a white porcelain tureen or glass, but a large brown-black flat bowl with a rather large mouth and a shallow bottom.

This can facilitate brewing and make the pattern clearer. Of course, it is said that the ancients were able to brew a seven-character poem in a small tea cup.

"It's begun." Ji Feng stood up and said seriously.

"Hey" Ji Feng lifted the teapot with his wrist, and the thin and powerful boiling water rushed down, forming a vortex along the edge of the bowl and stirring up the tea powder stacked at the bottom of the bowl.

The water flow was fast and hurried, but not a trace of tea powder was splashed. The vortex formed at the bottom of the brown bowl spread layer by layer. When the bowl was eighty percent full of water, Ji Feng immediately put down the teapot, and then He quickly picked up the tea spoon with his right hand.

Just stir it gently with your right hand, and then press the edge of the bowl with your left hand. The tea in the big brown bowl slowly stopped.

The water above no longer showed a whirlpool shape, but slowly undulated into a wave shape. The green tea foam was divided into two sides, and the dark part on one side slowly sank to the bottom and became as deep as the ocean. .

On the other side, the color gradually became lighter, and the white foam formed by the water rushing down from the high place slowly gathered into a circle from the dark tea soup, and then floated along the water lines to the lighter color.

Such a group of rising stars floats gently along with water ripples in the brown bowl.

Just like the masterpiece of an ink painting painter.
