Mingmen Family

Modern Chinese tea art, at the beginning of the 21st century, paid great attention to the form of performance, requiring tea performers to be dignified, graceful, and have stage effects in their movements.Later, tea art masters felt that the focus of "tea art" should not be on "art", but on "tea". Only then did tea art abandon the external performance form and return to tea and tea itself.

Ye Yaming is an advocate of the latter theory.She doesn't like the rigidity of Japanese tea ceremony, but likes the randomness of Chinese tea ceremony.

After all, tea is originally a kind of beverage, whether it is good to drink or not, the right way is to drink comfortably.How to drink, how to drink, depends on the preference of the tea maker.Learning from nature and Taoism from nature, this is the true meaning of the tea ceremony.

However, to promote tea art and tea ceremony, so that more people like it, it still has to have its display.The layout of the tea table needs to be beautiful, but how can the tea maker and tea making method not be beautiful?
Therefore, what she showed today is a tea art with some performance.The same is true when the tea doctor in Jixiang Pavilion makes tea.

The hall in the front yard is a place to display tea art and tea ceremony. If the area is too large, the effect will not be achieved. Therefore, Ye Yaming only designed it so that it can accommodate more than 30 people.Today's post, the number of people is also controlled within this range.Some people who received the post did not come. At this time, there were only 22 people in the hall. Ye Yaming brewed tea three times before serving the tea.

In the past two times, everyone was immersed in the beauty of tea art, but because Tieguanyin was not popularized, it was the first time that the smelling cup and tea ceremony set brought out by Ye Yaming appeared in front of people, like Princess Yuning and Fan Yu who really love tea When people see her using these things, they have countless questions to ask.

At the third time, they finally couldn't help asking why they did this, what the tea set was called, and what it was used for.

Lu Guanyi and Ye Yaming are newlyweds, and they have been together these days. He has drunk a lot of tea made by Ye Yaming.

When the first person asked a question, he said: "Forgive me, everyone. Ming'er doesn't talk when making tea. She said it's not clean. If you have any questions, wait for her to make tea."

Everyone was slightly displeased when they heard the first sentence, thinking that Ye Yaming was putting on airs, but when they heard "not clean", they suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

No, talking while making tea, spit flying everywhere, who would dare to drink this kind of tea except myself?
Fan Yu and Tan Xuan looked at each other, then quickly turned their heads away, secretly making up their mind not to drink tea with each other in a short time.

After Ye Yaming made the last dish, she asked the maid to bring it to the rest of the people, and then asked everyone to ask questions, and began to explain the questions to everyone.

Finally she said: "The tea doctors in our teahouse are all trained by me personally. They make good tea. I have told them about the utensils and the principles of making tea. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask them Answer slowly."

"Now, I will show you how to make black tea."

While talking, Bairui and Lue replaced the tea set with the purple sand pot as the main tea set.The flower arrangements on the table were also changed.The music behind the screen also changed from guzheng to guqin.

As Ye Yaming performed the tea ceremony, everyone in the audience was once again immersed in the beauty of tea art.

Black tea is different from Tieguanyin.It has been a while since Ye Yaming returned to Lin'an from Fujian and sent out Tieguanyin.Although everyone's tea-making skills are not good, and there are no new tea sets such as scented cups and tea ceremony sets, everyone is familiar with this tea.

Black tea is a tea that has never been touched, and only exists in legends.The attention paid by the court to it and the admiration of Chen Zhen and others made everyone extremely curious about it.

Therefore, as soon as the three teas were brewed, and everyone drank the tea and tasted a completely different style of tea from green tea and Tieguanyin, some people couldn't help asking: "Mrs. Lu, this tea tastes so sweet and mellow, how could someone say it is Made with tea ingredients that are worse than rough tea? Isn’t it true?”

"Impossible." Tan Xuan is now almost blown by Ye Yaming, and immediately retorted, "When I heard this, I bought crude tea and tasted it. The tea is completely different from this black tea. Crude tea is completely useless. Drink, black tea is my favorite."

As a good brother, Fan Yu immediately despised him: "Yesterday you said that Tieguanyin is your favorite."

"Yesterday I loved Tieguanyin the most, and today I like black tea the most. There's nothing wrong with it." Tan Xuan subconsciously bickered with him.

"Shut up both of you." Princess Yuning said fiercely, "Listen to Yaming."

The two good brothers shut up immediately.

Ye Yaming smiled and said: "The rumors are actually true. Black tea is indeed made from old leaves and old stalks. When I made this tea, I also thought that the taste of rough tea was not good. Is there a better way? To make the tea taste better. It took a lot of effort in the end to make the tea like this. Therefore, this tea is not expensive, only a little more expensive than crude tea. Time-consuming."

Everyone was confused when they heard this.

All of you present here are of noble status, and you never tire of fine food and fine meat. An ordinary eggplant can be cooked with a few chickens and more than a dozen processes before it can be served on the table.Telling them to drink tea made from old tea stems and old tea stalks that ordinary people can afford at this moment is really degrading.

But it is not easy to let go of it.Many people present fell in love with the sweetness, mellowness and smoothness of this tea as soon as they took a sip.

Ye Yaming smiled and said, "I made this tea three years ago, and I didn't expect many people to like it. Now that everyone likes it, I will make some black tea made of good ingredients for everyone to taste."

Everyone was overjoyed: "That's really great."

Tan Xuan couldn't wait, and asked, "Madam Lu, do you have this kind of tea now? Can you sell some to me?"

Ye Yaming shook his head: "At that time, I made a batch on a whim. Because this tea is very special, it is different from green tea and Tieguanyin, and it is very durable. As long as it is placed properly, it will not go bad after ten or eight years. The better the taste."

"At that time, I made a batch. I felt that the amount was enough to drink for many years, so I stopped. I didn't make any more. Therefore, the existing amount is not large enough to be released for sale. In order for everyone to taste it, I plan to It is used in this teahouse, and everyone likes to come here to drink it. Tieguanyin is the same. When the tea comes out next spring, there will be a small amount of Tieguanyin and dark tea on the market, and we will inform everyone when the time comes.”

Everyone can drink it again after listening to it, and Tieguanyin is also available here, which feels good.

The quantity is not much, if Ye Yaming sells it directly, few people here can buy it.If you can’t buy it and want to drink it, you have to ask someone else to drink it, but if you can’t buy it, you’re not willing to give it to others. There must be conflicts at that time.

It's better to stay in the teahouse and sell the tea one by one. Everyone can taste it, it's very good.
