Then Wangyue Changyun took out another set of exquisite tea sets and rinsed them with the water they brought with them one by one... The tea farmers next to him saw them going out for a trip, and even the water and teapot were carried by themselves. They felt that this noble family was so stylish that they were completely overwhelming when they traveled! In fact, Shen Mo didn't have to do this. The reason why Wangyue Changyun did this was mostly due to safety reasons.

It is said that the equipment and water outside may not be clean, so let’s put aside the factors that caused poisoning.

Even if the water in a well that happened to catch a "hard" (containing more minerals), the commander had a stomachache after drinking it, which was their dereliction of duty.

Seeing that the water was about to boil, Shen Mo signaled Yue Changyun to lift the kettle down and let the water cool down a little.

At this time, he smiled and came to the iron pot of the tea farmer's wife, grabbed a handful of tea buds that had just been finished, turned around and put them in the teapot... This time, the tea farmer was shocked again! If it were to say that Shen Mo's method of drinking tea rarely appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Generally, when aristocratic families eat tea, they almost all grind the dried tea leaves into tea powder, then mix them with water, and use bamboo broom to make foam before drinking.

As the saying goes: "Stop the spoon and the side cup to test the waterway, and wait and see the milk flowers in the air."

This poem written by Ouyang Xiu is a true portrayal of the "cooking tea" method when drinking tea in the Song Dynasty.

The "milk flowers" here are actually referring to the delicate bubbles produced by hand.

However, the people around Shen Mo knew that their commander liked to brew with hot water when drinking tea.

This is actually a habit developed by Shen Mo in later generations. He doesn't like drinking tea and swallowing stickyly like drinking rice porridge.

However, because the commander likes it, this way of drinking tea is also popular in Tongzhou.

The so-called "the superior has something to like, the subordinate must have a lot of things." This is actually inevitable.

Shen Mo's way of drinking today is more outrageous than brewing tea directly! In fact, the tea he had just put in the teapot and had just finished the finishing, and did not fry it to make a finished tea.

However, Shen Mo knew clearly that tea fried is actually to prevent mold and facilitate transportation.

When it comes to tea with real taste, the fresh and tender tea buds that have just been finished are the best.

Of course, what we are talking about here is just green tea, not including fermented teas such as black tea.

During this period, Shen Mo also deliberately lowered the water temperature a little to prevent excessive water temperature from destroying the tea fragrance.

In fact, for this fresh tea bud, the water temperature is not suitable even exceeding 80 degrees.

Then Shen Mo simply did it himself. He lifted the kettle and threw the water away from the mouth of the pot, then washed the water into the teapot.

After waiting for a while, he poured another cup of tea with a teacup, poured it back into the pot, and "smashed" the whole pot of tea.

Then he handed the teapot to Wangyue Changyun, let her fill a row of tea cups and invite everyone to come and eat.

At this time, when Zhang Yiru and Mo Xiaoluo picked up the tea cup, they felt a light and distant tea fragrance floating like fog on the mouth of the cup.

After a sip, the two beauties were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of surprise! As soon as the tea was put in, it seemed a little light and tasteless.

But when I swallowed it slowly, I felt a fresh and vivid tea fragrance, which seemed to linger in my throat.

After a sip of tea, they felt the fragrance remained on their cheeks and their mouths were full of sweetness.

Not only was he excited, but his eyes seemed much clearer.

At this time, Zhang Yiru couldn't help but secretly admire her. Drinking tea like a teacher is more fresh and elegant than cooking tea like a big soy soup! It's really rare that her teacher, how could she know so much?

...I also need to mention here that the word "finished" is originally a special term in the tea industry.

It means that after picking the new tea, evaporates part of its moisture with the heat of the iron pot.

But later it was borrowed by other industries, so that people even forgot its original intention.

After each of everyone ate the pot of tea that Shen Mo made with his own hands, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and felt comfortable all over.

In this small valley, the breeze is gentle, cool and pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, and there is such a good tea! At this time, everyone felt a sense of comfort and comfort in their hearts.

After that, Changyun looked at the pot of tea that was about to drink, so she asked Shen Mo and then a new pot of water was placed on the stove, preparing to refill the water in the teapot.

Immediately, Shen Mo also smiled and chatted with the tea farmer's family in the thatched hut.

...When Shen Mo opened his mouth, in the eyes of this tea farmer, it was nothing more than a rich family who came here to chat about mulberry and mahjong and chatted with local farmers casually.

But after hearing a few words, everyone around him immediately woke up.

It turned out that the commander was taking this opportunity to learn about the family background and life of local tea farmers.

After they talked for a few words, Shen Mo realized that the tea farmer had three and a half acres of tea gardens in his home, and he planted the famous good tea "Jianmen Baihao". No wonder Shen Mo had a fragrance when he drank it.

These three and a half acres of tea gardens can produce more than 100 kilograms of tea per mu per year.

However, the top white hair that can sell more money is the freshest tea buds picked, but the number is very small.

While they were talking, Wang Yue Changyun added another cup of tea to Shen Mo's cup.

At this time, Shen Mo had just picked up his hand and saw the tea farmer's little daughter standing next to him.

The little girl's big eyes were bright, blinking and looking at Shen Mo curiously.

"What are you going to do?"

At this time, Shen Mo knew that he had aroused the interest of the five or six-year-old girl, so he asked the girl softly.

Listening to his tone, he was exactly the same as when he treated his daughter Long Xiaohua in childhood, which made everyone around him hold back his smile.

At this time, the little girl looked at the cup in Shen Mo's hand and saw that the top was clean and fine white, and the light green tea soup inside was extremely clear.

At this time, the little girl smiled and asked Shen Mo: "Guest, is my tea delicious?"

"You don't know if your own tea is good, but you come and ask me?"

At this time, Shen Mo smiled and said to the little girl.

"Where can I eat such tea at home?"

At this time, the little girl also said bluntly: "Dad said that he would have to pay the tax when picking tea, and he would have to be beaten to a board if he had a little less.

Even when Niu Niu saw a piece of tea bud fell on the ground, she had to pick it up carefully. How could she eat it herself?"

"Niu Niu, don't disturb the guests!"

At this time, the tea farmer saw the little girl pouring beans on bamboo tubes, and told outsiders about her family affairs.
