Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 222 The Mystery of Baochai

When the girls approached, they found that there were a total of twelve colored glass three-cai bowls, each with its own unique color and shape, or birds and animals, or flowers, or auspicious patterns, or characters, just like using this cup. Like the twelve masters, each has his own style.

But the tea in the cup is colorful flower and fruit tea.

Shui Yan, the head of He'an County, couldn't help but praised: "What a handsome cup, what a handsome tea. Whose idea is this? I have also drank a lot of flower and fruit tea, but no one thought of serving it in a colored glass teacup. Liuli The brilliance of the tea and the color of the flowers and fruits complement each other, and this tea can be called colorful tea."

Yuan Chun nodded and said, "Yes. It's worthy of the name, and it's very interesting. But, why do I think there's something strange about this glass cup?"

Lin Daiyu chuckled: "Sister Yuanchun has good eyesight. Glass is an expensive tribute. The reason why these cups are different is because they didn't have cups before. Some are vases, some are water bowls, and some are even trays. All of them were made into tea cups by skilled craftsmen due to flaws in the firing process. It has to be said that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is exquisite. With such a transformation, these tea cups can not hide their flaws, each with its own characteristics. It happens to be twelve, and I love them so much that I never want to use them, but today I use them for the first time because all the sisters have come.”

Qin Keqing also said: "Isn't it unique? I have seen foreigners use crystal cups to make wolfberry tea in the past. You can see the contents in the transparent cup. It is very beautiful. Today, this glass cup of herbal tea can only It's even more amazing. Little aunt is so ingenious."

Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "Where is my ingenuity. I love tea very much on weekdays, but because I often take medicine and can't drink tea, I came up with the idea of ​​making herbal tea. I can't eat it in summer The melons and fruits are washed and dried, and then mixed with dried flowers and brewed in boiling water. Different things are added to people's constitution, such as Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, Ginkgo biloba, Honeysuckle, Lycium barbarum, Lily, Dried longan, Dazao or white fungus, try it quickly and see if it suits your taste?"

Although the things put in are different, the herbal tea is sweet and sour after all.There is no girl who does not love sweets, and there is no girl who does not love fragrance, and the appearance of this tea is also on the line. Naturally, it has won the favor of all the beauties present. Everyone said it was very good.

Daiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because she would have a barbecue in the evening, so Daiyu did not arrange too many refreshments, only a few pieces of sweet lotus leaf lotus root powder hibiscus cake, everyone was immersed in the charm of herbal tea Among them, naturally no one cares about others.

In the evening, except for Wang Xifeng who was unable to eat barbecue because she was pregnant and left early, the rest of the beauties were thinking about the barbecue at night, and happily gathered together to chat.

When Lin Daiyu came back after packing a large bag of flower and fruit tea and sending Wang Xifeng into the sedan chair, she found that everyone was shaking with laughter.Daiyu asked, "What are you talking about? Tell me too."

Feng Ting and Yingchun said in unison: "Go and ask Bao girl."

But Baochai didn't take it seriously: "I just said a few brain teasers that my second elder brother told me, why are you laughing? Is it unreasonable?"

Li Wan said: "What's a 'brain teaser'? I don't know, I only know the nonsense you said, which is very unreasonable."

But Wu Linzhu said: "That's not the case. You think about it carefully, but it's also interesting, isn't it?"

Daiyu became even more curious when they kept talking like this: "What are they talking about? Tell me now!"

Baochai saw that she was curious, so he repeated all the things he just said: "Then let me ask you: the fish's home is in the water, so where is its new home? What kind of egg can only be admired, not eaten?" ? What doesn't have a tongue in its mouth?"

Baochai asked three questions at once, but Daiyu stopped her. She frowned and said, "What are these questions? I only know the third one. The teapot has no tongue in its mouth, but the first two what is it?"

Baochai laughed and said, "It's Yu'er after all, she's much smarter than you, and I can guess one out of the three."

Tan Chun was dissatisfied and said: "Sister Bao, you are using strong words. Sister Lin, listen to what she said. The fish's home is in the water, but its new home is in the pot. You can only admire the face, but not eat it. These... are all what!"

When Tanchun made such an explanation, everyone fell down laughing, only Baoxiang scratched his head: "The fish will die when they come out of the water. If you want to eat the dead fish, of course you have to boil it in a pot. Don't you have a cheeky face?" Is it not edible? My sister is right..."

This time, Bao Xiang's silly and cute appearance made everyone laugh even harder, and Wu Linzhu burst into tears: "Bao...Bao girl, what are you two sisters doing..."

Baochai deliberately said: "What do you do? It's just because waiting for the barbecue is too boring. Shall I find some riddles to pass the time for everyone? How about it? I still have more. Can you guess?"

As soon as Baochai finished speaking, the fragrant barbecue was brought up, and the girls didn't care, they just sat down and ate, but they were all ladies after all, and they ate very elegantly.After eating a few skewers, Qin Keqing urged: "Miss Bao, what good mystery do you have, tell us quickly and let us guess?"

Everyone also almost figured out the routine of Baochai's questions. Before that, only Lin Daiyu could answer a question, and the others could also get a few of them right.

When Baochai saw this, he took this as an order, and everyone took turns to guess. If they guessed right, they would go to the next family. punished.This punishment is nothing else than cooking skewers for everyone.

I only heard Baochai ask: "What is something that belongs to you but someone else uses it more than you?"

"Own name!"

"Who can best grasp the propriety?"

"tailor!"

"What are the differences between rivers, lakes and seas?"

"Their right sides are different."

All the beauties are smart, and almost everyone can answer such questions, so Yingchun's reaction was a little slow, and she was standing by the oven grilling meat for everyone, but because of the fun of the job itself, Yingchun was very happy .

Baochai saw that it was not difficult for everyone, so he smiled and said: "I will come up with another one, and no one can guess the safekeeping. Listen carefully, three 'mouths' are called pins, three 'woods' are called forests, and three 'ghosts' what is it call?"
