Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 297 Three Paths

The madam then asked: "What else is there for the tea fight? It seems that the envoy has not finished."

Mi Xiaoye said with a smile: "After biting the cup, it's time to order tea. The test is the skill of boiling and brewing the tea soup. While ordering the soup, the tea soup in the tea cup should be beaten and swirled with a tea whisk to make it boil. The flower is called "hitting". On the contrary, if the soup flower cannot bite the cup, but spreads out quickly, and the place where the soup and the cup meet will immediately show traces, then you lose. Sooner or later, the water mark appears, it is the tea soup. The basis for good or bad. In a tea fight, the person who shows the water mark late wins, and the one who shows the water mark early loses."

"I see." Madam nodded.

Mi Xiaoye smiled and said, "But it's not entirely like this. There are ways to turn defeat into victory."

"How do you say that?" Madam asked.

Mi Xiaoye explained: "In fact, sometimes the quality of the tea is slightly inferior to the opponent, but if you use the water properly, you can win. Therefore, you need to understand the nature of the tea, the quality of the water, and the effect after frying, and you can't do it blindly."

Madam nodded and said with a smile: "When the envoy came, I have really gained experience. What you just said, there is also a tea fighting order? Is it the same as the drinking order?"

Mi Xiaoye smiled and said: "Yes madam, in the Great Shang Dynasty, there were wine orders when drinking, and tea orders when fighting tea. The orders during the tea fight, the stories cited and poems and poems are all related to tea."

"Then what is Chabaixi?" The maid next to her couldn't hold back and asked.

Madam's face was obviously displeased, and she said angrily: "In front of the envoy, what right do you have to interrupt?"

"Ma'am, this servant realizes his mistake."

Mi Xiaoye waved her hands and said with a smile: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, Chabaixi requires extremely high tea-making skills, that is, the skill of pouring the boiled tea into the tea bowl. If the skill is used skillfully, it can make the tea soup bloom instantly. It shows magnificent and changeable wonderful scenes. Some are like mountains, rivers and clouds, and others are shaped like flowers, birds, fish and insects."

After hearing this, the lady was silent for a while, and said: "Originally, today, I was ordered by King Fusang to show flower art and calligraphy to all the envoys. It's just that after listening to the envoys, I feel ashamed, so I don't want to fight with others." I do. I hope the envoy will forgive me."

Su Ziling said with a smile: "Madam is serious. In fact, we are just exchanging cultures with each other, and we can't talk about going to school. I would like to see Madam show us flower arrangements and calligraphy."

"To add to the fun, I am willing to discuss calligraphy with Madam," Jun Yize said.

Madam thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's fine, everyone please."

In fact, "ikebana" refers to the method and technique of appropriately cutting branches, leaves, and flowers of trees and flowers and inserting them into vases and other vases. To put it bluntly, it is the art of flower arrangement.

Mi Xiaoye has seen various flower arrangements in many flower shops in modern times, so she also played for a while like a ticket. Everyone said that Mi Xiaoye's flower arrangements were beautiful and elegant.

"Calligraphy" is calligraphy. Jun Yize's calligraphy is a masterpiece in Beijing. When he took part in the imperial examination, his beautiful handwriting was also one of the reasons why he passed the examination.After seeing it, Madam praised Jun Yize's calligraphy so smooth and smooth that it pierces through the back of the paper.

After playing at Madam's house for a day, everyone was tired, so Madam left us for dinner.

The dinner in Fusang Kingdom is also relatively simple, similar to Koryo. It is very simple rice with pickled radish side dishes, and buckwheat cold noodles.

Mi Xiaoye heard that it was hot weather, and Madam specially ordered the kitchen to prepare it.Cold noodles are placed on a bamboo plate, picked up with chopsticks, and eaten in cold soup.The taste is sweet and sour and light.
