Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 646 Treating them as tea buckets
Lan Cuixuan, when Fang Xiaofu came here, he couldn't help but stare in surprise.

There is actually a small lake with lotus blooming in front of me. In the lake, a water pavilion with the same style as in the other garden was built. It also has two floors, the area is not small, and it can be walked through the Jiuqu Stone Bridge.

"That's Yinghe Xiaoxie, Lan Cuixuan is over there." Fang Ziyuan glanced at the girl beside him with a strange expression, the fan swayed in front of her, and suddenly retracted, the end of the fan pointed to the slope to the right.

Some distance from the lake is a rockery with mountains and rocks, and there is a half-open pavilion built near the top of the hill after climbing the stairs. Several green bamboos are planted in the open space in front of the pavilion.

There are bamboos nearby, and lotus in the distance. I don't know whether it is bamboo or lotus that is looking at the greenery?
But in the hot summer afternoon, it is really nice to put a bamboo reclining chair here, read a book, drink tea, or even take a nap in the cool breeze.

"This is a small hill built from the soil in the garden and the mud in the lake mixed with stones. It looks like a rockery, which is more ornamental, and the area is not small enough to accommodate many people."

When walking up the stone steps, Fang Ziyuan began to explain again.

"Can this open house shelter from the wind and rain? It's good to put some tables and chairs here, so as not to be too tiring to move around." Fang Xiaofu walked up and looked around, and couldn't help but said.

As a result, Fang Ziyuan gave her another look.

"Second brother!" Fang Xiaofu glared at him angrily, dissatisfied with his attitude.

"Any elegant thing will make you roll from the sky to the ground with just one word." Fang Ziyuan sighed helplessly, and turned his head to the coffee table and low stool that had been brought over.

"Didn't I want to put a recliner here so that I can enjoy the scenery comfortably." Fang Xiaofu shrank his neck again after being trained, and didn't dare to complain anymore.

Who made her such a common person?

"Didn't you have a chair that can be folded? You can put a lot of them in when you put it away." Fang Zizhan said quickly when he saw this.

"Well, I think I'll think about a foldable bamboo recliner later, it will be good for that summer." Fang Xiaofu immediately turned back his thoughts, thinking of the kind of bamboo recliner used in modern times, he couldn't help but get excited again.

"Miss Qi'er!"

"We're here!"

"Can I have some tea?"

"Is there any herbal tea?"

"..."

Several people were discussing the issue of the deck chairs when they heard a series of crisp and flying sounds from the foot of the mountain, just like the sound of wind chimes hanging in front of the window in the afternoon.

When Fang Xiaofu turned his head to look over, he saw the little brothers running up happily, the pace was not slow.In the morning, Zisheng said that his feet hurt a little, how could he look uncomfortable at the moment?

Zixu was also led by Zituo, running and jumping up. Although he was panting heavily and his face was flushed, he was full of energy and never showed signs of fatigue.

"Don't sit in a hurry, just walk around here slowly, and sit down after the hot breath on your body dissipates." Fang Xiaofu told them seeing this.

Everyone responded, and went to visit Changxuan, and soon visited the whole rockery.Tables and stools, well water, basins, and clean towels were all delivered one after another. The boys put down their things and saluted everyone before leaving.

After a while, Fang Zhiyi brought the Lin brothers, Xiao Mu and Xiao Lai over with tea sets.Shi Yongquan, father and son, and Fang Zhizhong followed behind.

It turned out that Fang Zhizhong went shopping with his cousin Shi's family after he came here. Later, when he saw his third brother coming to the warehouse to get tea sets and tea leaves, he called the Shi family father and son to come together.

When everyone arrived, the open room seemed a bit crowded.Six tea tables are lined up with some distance between them, surrounded by small round stools.Everyone didn't fight for seats, but waited for Fang Xiaofu to make arrangements.

Fang Xiaofu let the three elder brothers each occupy a coffee table, and let Ziwei, Zituo and Lu Yunyi each occupy a coffee table.This allowed the little brothers to choose their own positions.

Seeing this, several adults also chose seats to sit down, and the boys could only sit on the stools outside the open room to enjoy the cool.

Fang Xiaofu told the four servants of Fangfu who were waiting to burn the clay stove, and then called Yan'er and another maid, Yinger, to fill the kettle with water and put it on the clay stove for burning.

After the arrangements were made, she filled half a basin of water first, and everyone went to the Changxuan in batches to wash their hands and dry them with towels.If one basin of water is not enough, another basin will be used, and everyone will sit down after washing their hands.

Fang Xiaofu did not sit down, but first taught everyone to recognize the tea set, and then took out the tea tray, put all the tea leaves into the tea tray, divided them into several piles, and taught everyone to identify the types of tea, as well as the shapes and shapes they have. Brown and so on common sense.

There are more than a dozen types of tea, although they do not include the six major teas, but there are many varieties of them.There are still several kinds of pressed tea cakes that need to be broken, but Fang Xiaofu only briefly introduced them and did not use them.

What she wants to make today is mainly loose tea with a clear and moist tea soup.

While waiting for the water to boil, she continued to introduce several methods of making tea, what kind of tea is suitable for which tea set and method to make, what effect will it have, and so on.

Fortunately, the method of making tea in this era has been popularized, and it is not difficult for everyone to understand.

After the water boiled, she picked out oolong tea and began to demonstrate the tea making process.Iron the pot, wash the cups, put the tea leaves into the tureen, pour boiling water, lift the tureen and shake it carefully, pour out the first soaked water, and refill the boiled water.

There were matching scented cups and teacups on the six saucers. She first poured a cup and made a demonstration of the scented cup. She flipped her fingers lightly, took out the scented cup, and immediately asked Fang Ziyuan to take it.

Fang Xiaofu glanced at him and didn't say anything, and immediately poured a second cup... After that, he stopped pouring, but changed to ordering tea, pouring the remaining tea in the gaiwan into the cup.

At this time, Fang Ziyuan and Fang Zijian, who had snatched the Wenxiang Cup, also picked up the teacups to taste tea.The little brother really wanted to grab the remaining four cups of tea, but Fang Xiaofu stopped him.

"Don't worry, the first few teas are too strong, not suitable for you to drink, wait for the next tea to be weaker before drinking." Fang Xiaofu reminded while refilling the water, so the adults took the four cups.

The second brew still only used two smelling cups, and Zi Sheng and Zi Xu, who had been pouting for a long time, took them.They don't drink tea, so it's okay to smell the fragrance, right?The remaining four cups were also divided among the big brothers.

Fortunately, the tea sets in this era are all equipped with six cups, and the same is true for ordinary tea sets, which are easy to distribute.

The third time to make tea, Fang Xiaofu handed the kettle to Fang Zizhan and asked him to practice the same way.The six cups of tea that were brewed were immediately divided up again, and Fang Zijian was replaced.

Several times like this, the elder brothers drank the tea first, and the younger brothers could only stare blankly and dare not speak out.

In fact, they snatched it so much because of Fang Xiaofu's previous words, so today they treated them as tea buckets, and they accepted it, and only gave it to the younger brothers when the tea tasted weak.

The poor little brothers had no chance to taste the true flavor of the tea, they just joined in the fun.
