Chapter 81 The Gap
"Is this considered simple?" Wu Mingshun felt that his brain was running out. It took more than ten minutes to make this tea powder alone, which is still called simple.

At this time, Deng Yin spoke up, and he said: "It is indeed the case. There are a series of regulations on this tea law, ranging from the texture of charcoal to the strength and frequency of pushing the stone mill. These have many restrictions. This Su Sir is really an expert in ordering tea, I am willing to bow down."

Deng Yin, who has a profound family education, has been very interested in some lost crafts since he was a child.When he learned that there was a tea ordering method in the Song Dynasty, he devoted himself to studying it for more than ten years before he lifted the veil of mystery.

When he heard that Su Zhongkang also knew a thing or two about how to make tea, he was very excited.Because, this means that there is another like-minded partner on this road.

Therefore, when he watched Su Zhongkang prepare some tea with joy, he just watched silently from the sidelines.He was verifying whether this Su Zhongkang really knew a thing or two.

Su Zhongkang's follow-up actions and explanations were like enlightenment, and those things that he didn't know well at first were directly uncovered like piercing the window paper.

Then, he verified with the records in the ancient books one by one, and found that Su Zhongkang really didn't just know a little bit.If Su Zhongkang knows a thing or two, then he himself can only be regarded as a layman.

Deng Yin put away the shock in his heart, and continued to observe the following steps with a learning attitude.

Su Zhongkang took the soup bottle that Cao Lei handed over, which was already filled with six to seven cents of mineral water.

He put the soup bottle directly on the tea stove. This tea stove is also specially made, and it fits closely with the seam of the soup bottle.

The charcoal fire in the tea stove is extremely lively, as if it has life.The charcoal fire is very strong, and the silver soup bottle has better heat conductivity, so after a while, there are noises of different sizes in the soup bottle.

"Is the tea boiling?" Wu Mingshun asked, because he found that the water was stuffed in the soup bottle, and he couldn't see whether the tea was boiling.If it is normal, you can judge the degree of boiling water by watching the size of the water droplets when the water boils, but this trick will not work at this time.

As we all know, the best tea can be brewed only by mastering the proper temperature of the soup.For the tea ordering method, this point is even more important, but this soup bottle makes it difficult for the tea orderer to grasp the heat.

Everyone was looking at Su Zhongkang nervously.As the tea order progressed, they found that this method of ordering tea was really extremely difficult. Whether it was preparation work or starting to order tea, they all had to overcome various difficulties.

Su Zhongkang didn't rush, he picked out some tea powder from the tea box with a teaspoon and put it in the teacup.

These teacups are relatively rough in texture, and they are not black tires, so they seem to be used by ordinary people.

However, now is considered a special period, so there is no need to pay attention to these.If it was in the Song Dynasty, the black kiln tea cups from Jianzhou or Jizhou are better.

The water in the soup bottle was buzzing. At a certain moment, Su Zhongkang picked up the soup bottle, then put it aside and paused for a while. After the boiling of the water in the bottle stopped completely, he poured it into the teacup first. A small amount of boiling water.

"This step is called creaming." Su Zhongkang picked up the tea whisk, and mixed the soup and tea powder in the tea bowl into a very uniform tea cream.

Then, he picked up the soup bottle with one hand and filled it with water, while whisking it with a tea whisk.

When he was pouring water, he poured it from the side of the tea, moving back and forth in a line, rushing to stop quickly, and with the other hand, he first stirred the tea paste with the tea whisk, and gradually increased the force of the whisk, with light and heavy hands, and twisted fingers around the wrist.

When the soup reached six-tenths of the wall of the bowl, Su Zhongkang stopped pouring water, then put down the soup bottle, and turned to hold down the teacup. His other hand kept moving and brushing, but the stroke was fast and slow , sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and so on.

After a while, the white foam in the teacup became more and more, and the foam layer slowly overflowed. When the foam solidified and did not move, Su Zhongkang put away the tea whisk, and put the bowl of teacup on the tea cup. Go up, bring it to Wu Mingshun, and say: "I am a guest from afar, please taste this bowl of tea soup."

At this time, the tea soup in the teacup is yellowish white, the tea foam on the tea soup is slowly subsiding, and water marks appear on the wall of the bowl.

Wu Mingshun stretched out his hands to take the teacup, but he felt unable to drink.

"Just drink it directly." Su Zhongkang raised his head and said, and then continued to order the second bowl of tea soup.

Wu Mingshun carefully smelled the white smoke rising from the tea soup, and a strong tea fragrance penetrated from the tip of the pen to the bottom of his heart.

After pondering for a while, he took a sip. At the entrance, the tea soup was rich and smooth, with a kind of silky softness. However, when he felt it again, he could feel the fine particles in the tea soup. This ruined the taste a bit.

However, the taste of this bowl of tea soup is still good. It is different from the various teas he has drunk before, and it is also different from the matcha he drank in Fusang.

After he drank two or three more sips, he found that he fell in love with this extremely delicate tea soup. He could directly feel the various flavors in the tea soup, whether it was sweet, refreshing, or even bitter. Want, but can be combined in two, in short, a bowl of tea soup gives him ever-changing feelings.

"This tea soup is really amazing!" Wu Mingshun was so excited that he couldn't speak, and he found that he couldn't describe this feeling.

Wu Mingshun's reaction appeared clearly in the eyes of the other two.There was also an incredible look in their eyes.

They have actually drank the tea soup ordered by this tea ordering method before.

After drinking it, I feel that the tea soup is more fragrant and thicker than the general brewed tea soup. It tastes good, but the taste is a little bit worse, after all, there are some tea powder particles in it.

Therefore, they were surprised by Wu Mingshun's excited expression.

Judging by his expression, he doesn't seem to be fake. Could it be that the tea soup ordered by Su Zhongkang will be very different?
Thinking of this, they were full of anticipation for the tea they were going to drink next.

The steps of ordering tea seem cumbersome, but Su Zhongkang's movements are also very fast. After a while, Cao Lei and Cao Lei each got a bowl of tea soup.

When they couldn't wait to take a sip, their performance was no more restrained than Wu Mingshun's, on the contrary, their immediate reaction was more exaggerated.

Why is this tea soup so different from the tea soup they ordered before!
They looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

The same steps yielded two completely different results.

Are they too stupid or Su Zhongkang is too strong?

At this time, Su Zhongkang gradually became taller in their eyes.Only after comparison can they know how big the gap is.

When their hearts were filled with the tall and mighty image of Su Zhongkang, Su Zhongkang finally freed up his hand to order a bowl of tea soup for himself.

Speaking of which, it was really the first time for him to drink tea soup ordered by this method of ordering tea.
