Chapter 77 (1/2)
We often say that water and fire are incompatible, but in the tea ceremony skills, only when water and fire are properly coordinated, can harmony and unity play the greatest role.
The water in the copper furnace is boiling, and bubbles are bubbling.
Qin Yitian left his seat, went to uncover the lid of the copper pot and watched the boiling water carefully.
A boiling, boiling like fish eyes, a little voice.
Two boils, the edge is like a spring.
Three boils, rattan waves.
After three boils, Qin Yitian immediately lifted the handle of the pot to keep the copper pot away from the charcoal fire.
The bronze pot is very big, but when Qin Yitian raised it, she felt effortless and understated. This woman can really play the role of little Qingxin and iron man.
”Seal the furnace.” Qin Yitian said.
The boys in class 9 immediately sealed the furnace with a piece of iron, and then several people carried the carbon furnace away again.
The boiling degree of water is the key to the success of tea ordering.
If it is the tip of the bud, it is natural to use a lower degree of boiling water. Avoid damaging the leaf quality and taste.
But the tea we are fighting today is aged Pu'er tea, so the water we use needs three boils.
It is also recorded in the book of tea that when water is just three boiling, it is necessary to cook tea, and then boil it down. The water is old and cannot be eaten.
Qin Yitian poured the water from the copper pot into the cups and cups to wash them. This is called the cup. If it is hot and the cup is cool, the tea will not float.
There is a small teapot on the tea table in front of him, but Qin Yitian doesn't pour the water from the copper pot into the small pot for convenient use. Because she knew that after one pass of water, the boiling water would touch the air more than once. If you change the utensils one more time, you may mix the taste one more time. The temperature and quality of water will change slightly.
Such as jade lady, delicate jade hand, but carrying more than ten jin of ancient bronze pot. This scene is both eccentric and aesthetical.
The most amazing thing is that she holds the pot in one hand, and no drop of boiling water is sprayed into the teacup. This alone is not something ordinary people can do.
According to Fang Yan's idea, Qin Yitian should wait a moment. First, wait for the contestants of the Wuren investigation group to brew the tea. Everyone will taste it one by one, and then appreciate it.
It was not until this time that Qin Yitian performed the tea ceremony with quick hands and feet, and delivered the tea soup he made carefully to the public. Just smell the fragrance and you will be intoxicated. When I drink it, I only feel that the tea should only be in the sky, and people will hear it several times. Therefore, Qin Yitian is better than others and becomes the champion of this tea fight.
First, suppress and then lift up, let everyone's mood from the bottom of the valley to the peak.
Let everyone worry first, then surprise everyone. In this way, the surprise will be more memorable.
What's more, in any competition, don't the latecomers take more advantage?
After drinking the tea of later generations, do you remember the taste of the previous cup of tea?
Unless the taste of the two cups of tea is very different, if they are of the same level, then the second cup of tea will surely be cheaper.
However, Qin Yitian obviously did not experience the painstaking efforts of Fang Yan, and did not play according to the set routine of Fang Yan. She didn't mean to wait for her opponent at all.
After the water boils, the cleaner, waiting for the water, pouring the cup, a series of actions, such as running clouds and running water, make people enjoy it.
Then take the tea, put the tea cake on a piece of white silk, break it up carefully, and remove all the coarse leaves and fine foam. Until then, put the priority tea in the pot.
Handle with care, and do not let tea block the spout.
Carry a copper pot to pour tea. After three shakes, pour out the tea immediately. This is called tea washing.
After tea washing, you can make tea. Brewing tea is the most important part. Never rush directly into the pot. Punch one corner first, then each corner. Improve the spout of the copper pot and strictly follow the principle of high flushing and low sprinkling. High impact can make boiling water strongly impact on tea, making the fragrance and essence of tea volatilize faster, and tannins are too late to dissolve, so the tea soup is sweet but not astringent.
The flush must be full. Whether the teapot is ”three mountains together” or not, you can see the power at this time. Qin Yitian's expression was leisurely, but his eyes were serious. He filled the teapot quickly, but the foam didn't overflow. A school of patriarchal style.
After finishing this tedious but necessary process, cover the lid of the pot and pour the boiling water on the pot. It's called pouring pot.
After scalding the cup, tea can be sprinkled for the guests.
A pot of tea, Qin Yitian only pour four cups.
”Long sleeve a jilt, say:” please
Lu Chaoge came over and took up a cup of tea and tasted it carefully.
Matsushima Ji also came over and took a second cup of tea and looked at the color of the tea soup.
With a long sigh, Duan Youjun went to Lu Chaoge and bowed deeply, which made him carefully carry the third cup of tea soup.
