I deliver food in the Southern Song Dynasty

In July, the heat subsided.

And holding the tea fighting meeting in this midsummer is really suitable.

"Miss Jiang, look, there are so many people in front of Yongjin Building!" Bai Li hugged Jiang Molan happily.

"I'm afraid they all want to go in to watch the excitement, but since people haven't gone in at this point, I wonder if everyone can enter this tea fight."

That's right, so Bai Li and Mo Lan were also stopped by the guys in front of the door.

Until Lan Zhou waved his long sleeves and came to greet him: "Oh, get out of the way, these two are our guests. Ms. Jiang and Ms. Bai, sir, let me pick you up."

Bai Li said: "Has the sir arrived yet?"

"Sir, I've arrived early. This time the tea ordering party is quite special. Only people who have been invited by their Young Master Dong from the Yongjin Building can enter, so the sir asked me to pick you up."

The lobby was already full of seats, and many officials and ministers were pushing cups and changing cups, talking and laughing.Under Lan Zhou's guidance, Bai Qu and Jiang Molan had to sit at a corner table.

After just taking a sip of tea, Bai Qu saw a lot of familiar faces.

Sitting at the front table were Xie Kai and a lady in white with a noble temperament.If you look carefully, the woman in white is wearing an alluring posture of amorous love and moonlight, rain hate clouds and sorrow.

"Miss Jiang, who is that girl sitting next to Mr. Xie?" Bai Li asked in a low voice.

"That? That is Miss Qin."

"Miss Qin? So, Mr. Xie's good deed is about to come to fruition."

"That's natural. Although Miss Qin is the daughter of Lord Yushi, our Mr. Xie and Mr. Ning's background is not small."

The next table was Xin Yi and her husband Fusang.

Thinking about it this way, Xin Yi's husband should also be a tea merchant?

No wonder I had to look for a lady in a teahouse before.

The couple at the front table seems to be...

Wang Xingze and Yanniang!

what the hell!

Bai Quer almost slapped the table and stood up!

"Wang Xingze, you..."

Of course, you still have to pretend nothing happened.

While waiting for the game to start, Jiang Molan chatted leisurely with Bai Li: "Xiaobai, have you seen Xin Yi?"

"I see, it's that table."

"She seemed to have seen the two of us just now, but she pretended not to know each other. It's ridiculous."

"I guess, she is afraid that if her officials see Miss Jiang, she will be dwarfed by comparison."

"Xiaobai said something stupid again..."

"Hee hee. Miss Jiang, look at that table, that sister seems to be many years older than the gentleman next to her, right?" Bai Li was referring to the table of Wang Xingze and Yanniang.

"Isn't that... isn't that Yanniang from Yihongyuan? By the way, I heard that Yihongyuan changed hands and gave it to a little-known young man. I guess it must be the one next to her." .”

"Haha, maybe..." Bai Qu could only smirk.

"I've heard before that Yanniang likes to raise boys who are younger than her as male pets, but now it seems that it is true. It's just that this young man looks quite heroic, and he doesn't seem to be a male pet. of."

The more Bai Li listened, the more uncomfortable he became, so he changed the subject and chatted with Jiang Molan about some other Lin'an celebrities.

Until Shen Shizheng, the tea fighting meeting officially began.

"Look, sir is here!"

I saw Mr. Ning wearing plain silk, as the champion of the last year, presenting a bouquet of woody flowers to the first contestant in the ring.Qin Wei and Lan Zhou stood by her side to accompany her.

And the first opponent she faced was Li Can, the number one tea doctor sent by Fenglelou.

The first round has begun.

The two contestants took out small boxes, tapped out the tea powder lightly, and put them into tea cups.Then start to boil the water, when the time is right, lightly brew, and reconcile the tea powder into a clear state.While mixing, add boiling water and whisk with a teaspoon.

Everyone in the audience held their breaths and concentrated on the teacups of the two without making a sound.

Jiang Molan commented: "If you want to use tea powder to make such a clean tea soup, it is impossible without practicing tens of millions of times."

Not long after, some people began to comment: "Mr. Ning won! You see, Li Can's soup has dissipated."

Sure enough, the soup flower in Li Can's tea cup did not last long, while the soup flower in Mr. Ning's tea cup still floated on the soup surface.

Bai Qu asked: "It turns out that the tea fight is based on the duration of the soup flower?"

Jiang Molan said: "Usually there are two kinds of tea fighting. The first is to see how long the soup lasts, and the second is to see if the soup is pure and white as milk."

Bai Li said: "I understand the soup flower. I can figure out the skill of the tea maker in mixing powder. But what is the reason why the soup color is pure white like milk?"

Jiang Molan said: "The color of the soup is a test of the tea maker's tea-making skills. The pure white color means that the tea is fresh and tender and the craftsmanship is exquisite. If the color is blue, it means that the heat is not enough when steaming the tea. If the color is gray, it means that the tea is steamed over heat. If the color is yellow, it means that the tea leaves were not harvested in time. If the color is red, it means that the heat was too high during baking. Therefore, the tea soup is inferior except for the milky white color. It is impossible to compete with this doctor of tea. He beat her. Look, his soup is turning blue."

Li Can had already put down the teacup and bowed slightly, as a gesture of admitting defeat.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, another young man in blue came lightly.

Jiang Molan introduced again: "This is the owner of Yongjin Tower, a big tea merchant in Suzhou, Mr. Dong Wunian. He has a nickname, Tea Maniac."

I saw this Mr. Dong with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his spirit was flying high. If it wasn't for his nickname of madman, who would not praise him for his handsome and elegant.

"What a suave young master, why did he have such a nickname?"

"Because he is crazy about playing tea. He has never cared about ordinary games. He only plays one kind, which is called Chabaixi."

"Tea Baixi?"

"Miss Bai knows immediately after seeing it. This is a trick that few people can pull off."

But seeing that Dong Wunian made an exaggerated movement like singing an opera, sprinkled tea powder into a huge teacup, immediately poured boiling water, and then used the tea whisk to boil the tea soup. In an instant, the tea milk changed into " Yongjinlou" in three big characters!

Bai Li was dumbfounded: "I'm a mother! This is too amazing!"

As he said that, Mr. Ning walked over with a smile, neither holding a box nor putting any tea powder, but only a small kettle in his hand.After observing for a while, he poured water into the huge teacup from different directions carefully.

"What are you going to do sir?"

After Mr. Ning finished pouring the water and put his hands down the pot, the soup flower that gradually emerged in the teacup was a portrait of a beauty!It's really amazing, I can't imagine that there are still gods in the world who can transform Tanghua into such a magical work!

Only then did everyone in the audience wake up from a dream, and thunderous applause broke out.

Dong Wunian couldn't help clapping desperately: "Mr. Ning's skills are superb, I lost! I lost so convincingly! Convincingly!"

"Mr. Dong has accepted." Mr. Ning was still neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Bai Li also shouted excitedly from the audience: "Mr. Ning! Mr. Ning! You are really amazing! The champion must still be you!!!"

This shout immediately attracted Wang Xingze over.

"Xiaobai? Xiaobai, you are here too."

Sensing Wang Xingze's attention, Bai Li immediately sat down arrogantly, turned his head away, and ignored it.

The third person to come up to the stage to fight was actually the girl Qin who was next to Xie Kai.

"Playing the zither, playing the qin, playing the qin, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, with a heart that is weak, sleeps when you are weak. This is the first time for me to participate in this tea fighting conference, and please give me your advice."

This girl, Qin Xinmian, really didn't look like a regular customer of the tea fight. Although she ordered the tea with a meticulous expression, her movements were slow and she was very nervous.

"Hey, all right!"

Until finally, she stood up suddenly, laughed and threw the teaspoon away.

I saw that the tea soup in Qin Xinmian's teacup was as pure as milk, without any unevenness or greasyness.And the soup flower has overflowed the whole surface of the tea soup, clinging to the rim of the cup tightly like white glue.

The audience in the audience exclaimed: "Is this the legendary bite cup? My God, I thought the skill of bite cup has long been lost."

Seeing how everyone was chasing after Qin Xinmian, Bai Li was a little anxious at this moment: "Mr. Why haven't you tuned it yet?"

Mr. Ning still buried his head in his tea soup unhurriedly.The tea soup was prepared later, which seems to have lost Qin Xinmian.

But looking at it, Mr. Ning's tea soup is much more even and greasy than Qin Xinmian's, and it overflows the whole cup, and the color is white and pure.

"Mr. Ning also made a bite!"

The two daughters began to compete over Tang Hua's biting time.

"Mr. Ning's is still tight, and Miss Qin's Tang Hua has the intention of loosening..."

"Mr. Ning's soup flower is so beautiful, this flower should only exist in the sky, how many times have I seen it in the world..."

In the end, as Qin Xinmian's Tang Hua scattered into gruel, Mr. Ning won again.
