Yunding Ranch

Chapter 78 One move away from chess

The night is dark, the smiling face is like a flower, the bright moonlight is shining down, the wheat-colored skin is like soft satin, and the ruddy lips are covered with a hazy halo, charming and charming.

Before the brain reacted, the body had already taken the initiative to attack, and took a step forward. The distance between the two people was slowly narrowing between the breathing, and the sound of the beating heart began to intensify on the eardrums. It seemed that even the body temperature Start to rise slowly.

At this moment, Chloe boldly stepped forward, the faces of each other rapidly expanded and enlarged in the eyes, just when the lips were about to touch, she turned her head slightly, stood on tiptoe, and approached Lu Li The two people's faces are so close to each other's ears, they can even feel the thin layer of hair on each other's faces, a little bit of itching stirs the atrium, and the entanglement of breathing between the ears and temples makes the temperature of the blood rise rapidly. He smelled a fresh breath, entwined with a faint aroma of wine, as if even the air had begun to ferment.

"Have a nice night, good night." Chloe lowered her voice and whispered into Lu Li's ear, then she took a quick step back, her eyes gleamed with a sly light, and before Lu Li could react, she began to look toward the master. Step back in the direction of the house.

Suddenly approaching, suddenly retreating, and leaving suddenly, the scorching temperature has not had time to make the blood boil, the turbulent cold air swarms in, the extreme frenzy and the extreme cold collide, and the brain wakes up instantly .

Seeing the bright smile on Chloe's face, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, and said loudly, "It seems that the prince is indeed a worthless idiot."

The teasing voice passed along the wind. Chloe obviously didn't expect Lu Li's reaction. He paused, and then burst out laughing, "Then you admit that you are a prince?"

Lu Li shrugged frankly, "At least the prince is handsome enough, I am willing to accept it."

Chloe smiled even more happily, "Thank you for sending me back."

Lu Li waved his hand, without pausing too much, turned around and walked towards home.

Chloe couldn't help but stop, and her gaze stayed on Lu Li's back that was drifting away. Originally, she wanted to play a prank as a joke, but now she felt a sense of loss in her heart. She couldn't help thinking, if just now If she didn't avoid it... After this thought popped into her mind, her cheeks became hot immediately, so, was she expecting something to happen?This made her a little at a loss, but fortunately, no one saw it now.

Quietly, she just quietly looked at that figure, waiting for the night to completely swallow that figure, and then reluctantly entered the house.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and Lu Li felt his footsteps fluttered. The spring night was still chilly, and his brain was completely awake.

Everything went too fast tonight, deviated from the normal track, completely out of his usual style, as expected, alcohol and the atmosphere were causing the trouble, now that he calmed down, Lu Li himself felt a little funny, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. .It seems that he still needs to avoid drinking too much alcohol in the future, especially not mixing it.

When I got home, everything outside was cleared away, except for a lump of charcoal glowing dark red, reminding people that there was a party here today.Walking into the main room, everyone was sitting around the dining table, talking about something, seeing Lu Li coming in, Jessica was the first to wave her hand, "Fourteen, what exactly is this, please explain, Ke I explained it for a long time, but we were all confused."

Lu Li stepped forward and found that they were holding Tieguanyin in their hands; looking at the table, the Tieguanyin in the teacup had been completely boiled, and the large pieces of tea were almost overflowing, and the strong tea fragrance wafted across the room. floating around.A sense of absurdity hit my heart, as if I saw a group of children messing around here, "Do you want to try tea?"

"Yes, we were arguing just now whether tea is the same. Cole insisted that tea leaves and tea bags are different, so, I thought..." Finley looked excitedly, Looking at Lu Li, he was obviously very curious about these things.

"Not the same, of course it's not the same." Lu Li said bluntly, but he noticed Justin's eyes out of the corner of his eye. Justin always looked at Finley involuntarily, as if he was not satisfied with Finley's enthusiastic and reckless actions. "To be precise, tea bags are not tea at all for those who really understand tea. If you go to the UK, I refuse to recognize those afternoon teas."

Talking about tea, Lu Li's words inevitably contained a sense of arrogance. This is a Chinese culture that has been passed down for thousands of years. After being improved by the West into tea bags, it has lost its original charm.

Walking to the table, Lu Li picked up the teacup, poured out a cup of tea, and then shook his head, "This tea must have been brewed for a while, right? It's too strong, not to mention you guys, even I don't drink it too much It is easy to have phlegm when drinking strong tea, and the strong tea of ​​Tieguanyin is indeed too bitter, so it is better to drink Sophora flavescens tea directly than to drink the strong tea of ​​Tieguanyin.

"I only know superficially how to taste tea. Every time my dad sees me drinking tea, he frowns and thinks I'm wasting good tea." Lu Li laughed heartily. Lu Huaijin is a tea lover, more or less He lacks the paranoia of a literati, so every time he sees Lu Li ruining good tea like a cow, he always looks sad.But every year when Lu Li went out, Lu Huaijin always gave him the good tea at home. "If you just want to taste it, you can actually drink the second tea."

"What is the second cup of tea?" Finley asked eagerly, leaning forward slightly.As a result, Justin grabbed her arm and said with a frown, "That's impolite." Finley curled his lips and muttered something, "Fourteen is not such a rigid person", but he sat down politely after all.

Lu Li couldn't help but smile, "We usually brew the tea for the first time. At this time, there will be some tea foam in the tea, which not only tastes bad, but also is dirty, so we use this tea to wash the cups. The boiling water not only It can sterilize, and it can also preheat the teacup a little bit."

"Wow." Everyone showed amazed expressions, and Sean couldn't help sighing, "I thought the British were troublesome enough, but I didn't expect the Chinese to be more troublesome."

Lu Li laughed loudly, "This kind of tea is fairly simple. If you go to drink Kung Fu tea, or more expensive high-quality tea, it will be more complicated. Of course, if you don't like trouble, there are simpler ones. Throw them in It’s fine in a water cup. However, in our hometown, drinking tea needs to be tasted slowly, and the process of making tea and tasting tea is a kind of enjoyment in itself.”

While explaining, Lu Li's hands didn't stop - he made a new cup of tea from scratch.As he said, he is not a professional tea taster, and he only knows how to make tea with the simplest hands, but everyone still focused on Lu Li's slender fingers, the crystal water drops, the dense heat, and the curling tea. Xiang, the clean and neat movements have an indescribable charm, just like... just like ink paintings-they can't tell the reason for the ink paintings.

"I've always wanted to buy a tea set, but it's too difficult here in the United States." Lu Li explained that they are all using stainless steel water cups now. If Lu Huaijin saw it, he would probably say "spoiled", even if there were no porcelain cups , at least a glass should be used.

The real way to make tea is to use a white glaze cup to make clear tea, that is the visual enjoyment.

Finley opened his mouth to ask, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again, "What do you want to ask? Tell me." Lu Li noticed it, and couldn't help but chuckled, solving Finley's problem.

Finley's eyes lit up immediately, "Why do we have to buy tea sets? Aren't they all the same?"

"For those who really taste tea, they will choose different containers according to different teas, and even the water, temperature, etc. are different. Compared with tasting red wine, it will only be more complicated and not easier." Lu Li simply He explained clearly, "But I don't understand those things, and I want to sleep after listening to it." The sudden change in the style of the painting made everyone stunned, and then burst into laughter, "It's just that a good set of tea sets is easy to make tea. It’s more convenient, and it’s more suitable for the original quality of tea. We think glass or porcelain will be more suitable.”

Finley suddenly realized, "This is really interesting. However, I'm sure it won't be popular in Texas." Texas is about simplicity and roughness, and things as complex and delicate as the tea ceremony are naturally incompatible.

Faced with Finley's bluntness, Lu Li also laughed out loud, "So when you were interested in this just now, didn't you see that my jaw was about to dislocate?" Everyone laughed again.

Lu Li distributed the clear tea to everyone - although the rough color of the stainless steel could not tell the color of the tea, at least he could feel the elegant fragrance that was different from before. "You can taste it."

Lu Li didn't rush to drink his own tea, but looked at the five people in front of him. Among them, only Cole had drunk Lu Li's Tieguanyin, so he knew what it tasted like, and the other four looked at a loss.

After Jessica drank it, she nodded calmly, as if there was no reaction; Sean sniffed the tea seriously, and then took a sip. It can be seen that he seems to taste tea in the same way as tasting red wine— — After rinsing my mouth, I want to fully contact the tea with my taste buds, but tea does not need to be in contact with the air like red wine, so the taste may not change much.

Justin also took a sip, and immediately frowned. He wanted to stop Finley, but before he had time, Finley poured it into his mouth directly, as if drinking beer, and then her whole face became tangled, The surging bitterness made her speechless.

Seeing Finley's appearance, Jessica quickly turned her head and spit out the tea, "This... this... is really bitter!" Apparently, she had been pretending just now just to wait for everyone else to be fooled. Finally couldn't bear it and broke out.

Sean next to him also picked up the beer next to him and poured it into his stomach. Even Justin went to the refrigerator, brought two bottles of beer, and handed Finley a bottle.

Lu Li and Cole... clapped their hands and laughed.
