Mingmen Family

Chapter 24 The taste is so good

But why did he have uneasy expectations for the new tea that Ye Yaming said?Could it be that her performance yesterday was so shocking that he had undue expectations?
Ye Chongming laughed at himself and shook his head.

Rao told himself in his heart that it was impossible.But it was not evening yet, because of Ye Hongrong and Ding Jian's accident, there was still a lot of trouble in the teahouse. The staff in the teahouse had to be investigated, the positions had to be changed, and the shopkeepers needed to be appeased... and so on, Ye Chongming couldn't wait until things were settled. I really want to go home and see Ye Yaming's research results.

"Girl, the old man is back. He called you over." A woman came to Ye Yaming's yard to send a message.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ye Yaming filled some sweet-scented osmanthus tea in a small porcelain pot, and led Bai Rui to the main courtyard.

"Ming'er is here? Sit down quickly." Ye Chongming, who had always been calm, also showed signs of agitation, and asked Mrs. Ye to look at him several times.

"How's it going? Any idea?" he asked.

Ye Yaming smiled, took out the white porcelain tea pot in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "I used to make sweet-scented osmanthus honey, and I thought about how to put the fragrance of flowers into tea countless times."

She looked at Ye Chongming and said seriously: "Grandfather, you also know that tea leaves are the most intoxicating. It is easy to imbue the tea with a floral fragrance, but it is difficult to preserve that fragrance. I was thinking at the time, whether to use Roast it over a fire, so it can keep the fragrance longer? So today, I made this batch of tea according to the method I have been thinking about for half a year. Let's see how it goes."

Making sweet-scented osmanthus tea all at once is a bit of a monster, but it is not so shocking to make tea after half a year of pondering.

The time is urgent, and she can only "develop" the sweet-scented osmanthus tea in the shortest time, otherwise, the sweet-scented osmanthus will be out of season soon.

Ye Chongming reached for the white porcelain tea pot, opened the lid, and before he brought his nose closer, he smelled the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Not to mention him, even the old lady Ye who was sitting next to him, who was separated by a tea table, also smelled it, and said pleasantly, "It smells so good."

Because Ye Yaming is a girl, she belongs to Mrs. Ye's control and education.Ye Chongming intentionally let the old lady know about her talent and its importance to the family, so as to protect her and the second room's status in the family.

Furthermore, if she wants to use the servants in the family, she needs the support of Mrs. Ye, so Ye Chongming told Mrs. Ye last night about Ye Yaming's performance all day yesterday and her desire to make sweet-scented osmanthus tea.

Now that she smelled the fragrance, Mrs. Ye was also looking forward to this sweet-scented osmanthus tea.

As a woman, she loves floral fragrances the most.It would be even more perfect if the tea fragrance could be dyed with floral fragrance.And because of the same idea, she also understands Ye Yaming's ability to make sweet-scented osmanthus tea.

Ye Chongming raised his hand and ordered: "Boil the water, I want to make tea." I regretted that I didn't believe that Ye Yaming could make tea, so I didn't ask the servants to boil water and prepare tea sets in advance.

Fortunately, what the Ye family lacked most were all kinds of utensils and people who could make tea.The servants quickly lit the small red clay stove under the corridor.The white porcelain tea set that Ye Chongming used to make tea was also brought up.

"I'll make it." Ye Yaming sat in front of the tea table, looked at the tea set on the table, and ordered, "Bring another teapot."

The servant glanced at Ye Chongming, saw him nodding, and quickly brought another white porcelain pot over.

Ye Yaming had already set out the tea set. After the water boiled, she poured part of the water into a porcelain pot, and used the rest to heat the pot and cups.

After the tea set was ironed, the temperature of the water in the pot had dropped to about ninety degrees Celsius, so she brewed the water into the teapot.

She didn't close the lid of the teapot. At this time, the water vapor rose and filled the air, and the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus permeated instantly.

"Oh, it's so fragrant. I love the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus. This tea is only for this item, and someone will definitely buy it." Mrs. Ye applauded.

Ye Chongming nodded, but kept silent while laughing.

The aroma is good, but the tea must be drunk in the mouth.If the tea tastes bad, or weird, it is not a successful tea.

Ye Yaming smiled at Mrs. Ye, without saying a word, guessing that the tea at this time was already the best taste, she raised her hand and poured the tea into the white porcelain pot that was filled with boiling water just now.

When to pour out the tea needs to be estimated based on experience based on various factors such as the type of tea leaves, the temperature of the water, the amount of tea used, and the utensils used to make the tea.

Experienced tea masters are extremely accurate in these quantities.

Ye Yaming has been with his grandfather since he was ten years old in his last life, making tea for him. Needless to say, his skill in making tea is praised by even the most talkative old tea drinkers.

After the tea was exhausted, she put down the pot, picked up the tea pot and poured tea into the cup, then stood up and served tea to the two of them.

Ye Chongming and Mrs. Ye saw her different ways of making tea, which seemed extraordinarily complicated, and it seemed strange that the water and tea in the two pots were pouring over.

However, the two of them did not rush to ask, but raised the teacup first.

Seeing that the tea water was extremely clear, Ye Chongming nodded.

If the tea soup is turbid, if it is not because of too much tea or "cloudy after cold", in many cases it is caused by insufficient processing technology. It may be caused by over-drying, over-twisting, or too much broken tea caused by other steps.

Most teas require clear tea soup.

Now this sweet-scented osmanthus tea has a strong fragrance and clear tea soup, the first two tests are considered to be passed.

Ye Chongming is good at maintenance, he doesn't drink tea that is too hot.But at this moment, he was eager to know how the tea in the cup tasted, so he blew on the cup carelessly, and took a sip.

The entrance is a very strong aroma, which is different from the smell. It really penetrates into the heart and lungs; it is a pleasant fragrance that makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.It seems that the fragrance of osmanthus flowers floating in the air all over the city has been moistened into the bottom of my heart, making people unable to help but shout "OK".

But before he applauded, a fresh and sweet taste surged in the mouth and tongue. After the extremely stimulating fresh taste, the body fluid from the bottom of the tongue gurgled out, and the whole mouth was full of sweet taste.

The bitter and stewed yellow taste that always lingered when I drank loose tea before did not appear in this tea at all.

"Huh? Is this made from our loose tea?" He was surprised.

"That's right, there is no bitter taste of stewed yellow, and the taste is surprisingly good. I have never drunk such delicious tea." Mrs. Ye also said in surprise.

"It's our loose tea. You sent someone to bring it to me this morning." Ye Yaming replied.

"Could it be that adding sweet-scented osmanthus can make the tea taste so good?" Ye Chongming asked.
