Mingmen Family

Chapter 25 Tea Making Skills

Ye Yaming shook his head: "No, it's because of the way of making tea."

Ye Chongming was stunned, remembering that Ye Yaming was holding two pots upside down just now, he thought for a while, and said to Nanny Yu who was standing behind Mrs Ye: "You make it as you used to Method bubble."

When Mrs. Ye married Ye Chongming, in order to allow her husband to drink tea to his liking, she specially selected maidservants who were smart and had a keen sense of taste, and let them learn how to make tea.Nanny Yu is one of the best.

Because of her tea-making skills, Nanny Yu still takes care of Mrs. Ye, and is often taken by her side.

She naturally saw Ye Yaming's way of making tea just now, remembered it in her heart, and wondered why Ye Yaming did it.But she didn't figure it out.

At this moment, the old lady obviously wanted to compare the difference between the tea brewed by the two methods, so she immediately discarded what she had just seen, and only brewed tea according to her usual method of brewing tea.

After she finished brewing, Ye Chongming took the teacup, first smelled the fragrance, and then sipped the tea, his brows furrowed.

The old lady Ye also said: "The aroma is more fragrant than that of Ming'er, but it is obviously a little stuffy, not as refreshing as Ming'er. The taste is even more bitter and astringent, and the taste of braised yellow is also obvious."

Nanny Yu has been brewing tea all her life.When there are guests coming, or when the younger generation wants to show off their tea-making skills when they go out to be guests, Mrs. Ye will make her make tea.Her skill in making tea has also been affirmed by everyone.

Some things are afraid of comparison.In the past, Ye Chongming and Mrs. Ye not only didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her making tea, but thought it was very good.But now when compared with Ye Yaming's, it feels like it's not even a star.

Nanny Yu was very curious about the tea Ye Yaming made, and couldn't help asking: "Miss San, can I have a taste of the tea you made?"

"Yes." Ye Yaming smiled and gestured to Bai Rui, and Bai Rui took the pot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Nanny Yu.

After taking a sip, Nanny Yu's eyes widened.She looked at Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye naturally knew what she meant, nodded and said: "Drink, let's compare."

Nanny Yu poured a cup of tea she made herself, and after drinking it in one gulp, she felt the difference.

She hesitated for a moment, and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she kept her mouth shut, not daring to ask Ye Yaming about her tea-making skills.

This might become the secret technique of the Ye family, and how could she know it as a servant.

Ye Chongming thought even more.At this moment, he regretted letting Ye Yaming make tea in public just now with her unique technique.

He waved his hand: "Let's all go out."

The servants quickly retreated.

When there were only the three of them left in the room, he asked Ye Yaming, "Just now you poured water and tea back and forth with a pot, what's the reason?"

"Wait a moment." Ye Yaming walked out and brought a pot of boiling water in from the porch.

"I pour water into the pot without covering the lid, because the tea leaves are very tender when picked, and if the water is too hot, it will produce a stewed yellow taste, so pouring water into the pot is to let it cool down."

She lifted the pot to iron the soup cup: "The purpose of hot pot and cup is to keep the temperature of the pot and cup, and also to prevent the porcelain pot from bursting due to sudden heat..."

"Pouring the brewed tea back into this pot is to pour out the tea when it tastes the best, so as not to overheat it, and at the same time adjust the thickness of the tea so that the top is not too weak and the bottom is too thick."

At this time, the tureen had not yet appeared, and the utensils for making loose tea were white porcelain. People still liked to cover the pot after pouring water, and did not pour out the tea in time.After brewing for a long time, the tea is not only bitter, but also has a stewed yellow taste.

At this time, there is no justice cup, and tea is poured directly from the teapot to drink.The tea poured first has a mild taste, and the tea poured later has a strong flavor. If you don’t pour the tea in the way of "Guan Gong patrolling the city", the taste of each cup will be different.There are different shades, how can this kind of tea taste good?
If you want to make tea taste good, the water temperature, the amount of tea you put in, the tea set, and the time to make the tea are all indispensable!

There was no Lu Yu in this hypothetical dynasty, and no one wrote the "Tea Classic". Although there were some people who studied the tea ceremony and wrote some articles, they were all written by literati and literati, and they praised Tuancha.No one has studied the method of brewing loose tea.

Ye Chongming and Mrs. Ye were both dumbfounded.

Mrs. Ye felt that it was just a matter of making tea, so why bother?But as soon as the idea came out, she spurned it.

If you want to drink good tea, you can't be afraid of trouble.Don't you see how much work it takes to make a group tea.Now I want to drink a good loose tea, why should I pay attention to how to make tea?
Good taste is king!
Ye Chongming showed an excited look.

You must know that the taste of tuancha is not very good, so why is it so popular?But it is because its brewing is exquisite, and every step is pursued with great delicacy, and finally the pattern can be displayed on the tea foam.

It is used by rich and noble people to reflect the delicacy and elegance of their lives, and it shows the leisurely and comfortable taste that is completely opposite to the secular people who are busy for three meals, thus reflecting their nobility.

As for loose tea, it is nothing more than putting it in a pot and pouring boiling water. It tastes bitter and astringent.Therefore, loose tea has always been a thirst-quenching drink for poor people, and no one has studied how to brew it to make it taste good.

Now that Ye Yaming has discovered such a set of brewing methods, let him be particular about it.So, can loose tea be loved by scholar-bureaucrats and wealthy idlers?

After relishing the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus tea, Ye Chongming suddenly felt a burst of heat in his heart.

With this sweet-scented osmanthus tea and this set of tea-making skills, the Ye family will definitely be able to achieve prosperity that their ancestors could not achieve.

"Who else knows how to make tea except you?" he asked.

Ye Yaming shook his head, showing a little embarrassment: "I just figured it out by myself. I usually do it by myself, and I haven't taught anyone."

"Good, good, good!" Ye Chongming said three "good" words in a row, his face flushed with excitement.

After being excited, the sense of crisis that had always existed in his heart became stronger.

And this sense of crisis has haunted Ye Jiaxing since he was born.

People say that being rich doesn't last for three generations.Since his great-grandfather made his fortune, Ye Jiaxing's generation is already the sixth generation. It has been too long to live a comfortable life.Not to mention Ye Jiaxing, but himself, because he was in the shadow of his ancestors, he has always abided by and upheld the ancestors' precepts, acted benevolently, and won the hearts of the people. Over the years, he has never experienced too fierce competition. It seems that everything is so logical , a matter of course.

Now it is just a position at the head of a tea line, which has attracted the disaster of exterminating the family. With the addition of sweet-scented osmanthus tea and tea making skills, can he hold on?
