When tasting tea, the first brew of tea is usually poured out. This is not only to warm the tea set and make the second brew taste better, but also to wash the tea.
This invisible rule has been passed down for hundreds of years.
In ancient times, dust or other unclean things would inevitably fall into tea leaves during processing and packaging. Rinsing the tea leaves with water after the first brewing would make them cleaner.
The same is true in modern times. There are even rumors that if there are residual pesticides on the tea leaves, not only the first brew, but also the second brew must be thrown away.
Chen Xiao originally wanted to pour out the first cup of tea out of habit, but when he thought that this was the tea made by Xi Yunting himself, his hand stopped.
There are many ways to remove dust and stains from the surface of tea leaves with the methods of practitioners. Moreover, Xi Yunting is so careful in his work, the possibility of dust on the tea leaves is very small.
Therefore, Chen Xiao simply poured the first brew of tea into a small teacup and asked Zhao Fang to taste it.
Zhao Fang was now sitting face to face with him at a round table in the side hall. He thanked him and carefully picked up the teacup.
Wanqing brought a set of white porcelain tea sets, and the heavy black rock tea was brewed, and the tea soup was clear amber. Against the backdrop of the white porcelain, the tea leaves in the water slowly spread out their leaves, floating in the clear tea soup, with bright and beautiful colors.
Zhao Fang first admired the color of the tea, then sniffed its fragrance before taking a sip.
After greeting the guests, Chen Xiao also took a sip.
It tastes smooth, with a bitter taste on the tongue at first, followed by a mellow and rich taste. A fruity aroma fills the mouth, and after swallowing, it turns into a floral fragrance between the lips and teeth.
When I took the second sip, I no longer felt the astringency, only the sweetness and richness remained.
It may also be because it is new tea. Drinking the tea made by Xi Yunting again is far better than the one I drank a year ago.
However, it may also be because his attention was on entertaining guests at the time and his mind was not on tasting tea, so the taste of the tea became a little vague.
Chen Xiao was immersed in the fragrance of tea. Zhao Fang put down the teacup and sighed leisurely: "It is worthy of being the rock tea made by Master Xi himself. It really lives up to its reputation."
Xi Yunting was so reserved that he naturally wouldn't tell Chen Xiao about his great achievements in the sect. Chen Xiao asked Zhao Fang curiously, "Why, is the tea made by big brother famous in the Chongxuan Sect?"
Xi Yunting is cold and aloof, and because of his special aura of bad luck, people in the sect dare not get close to him, so Zhao Fang would naturally not miss the opportunity to please his sweetheart.
One is intentional in understanding, the other is deliberate in flattery.
Zhao Fang opened up and told Chen Xiao everything he knew about Uncle Xi.
Such an opportunity was too rare, so Chen Xiao pulled Zhao Fang to drink tea again and again. One pot of hot water was not enough, so he asked Wan Qing to bring another pot.
The two of them drank tea and talked about Xi Yunting. While listening to Zhao Fang, Chen Xiao also paid attention to the taste of the tea.
This tea can withstand being brewed for a long time. After being brewed for eleven or twelve times, the color of the tea starts to fade, becoming a light bright yellow, but it still has a light fragrance and a hint of sweetness.
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart. He had drunk the best Da Hong Pao before, which was said to be transplanted from the mother plant and carefully managed and cultivated, but it only took six or seven cups for it to start to become bland.
It can be seen how good the environment of the Tianjing world is, and how rich the essence contained in the pure wild tea trees is.
The two sat and talked for an hour, until the sky changed and it was almost dusk.
Wan Qing peered at the door, wanting to speak but hesitant. She wanted to ask the immortal master if he wanted to stay for dinner, but she didn't dare to disturb the master's conversation.
Zhao Fang was at the foundation building stage, and he knew clearly what a mortal girl was doing without turning around. Without waiting for Chen Xiao to ask, he said goodbye.
Chen Xiao knew that Zhao Fang would definitely not be able to eat the food cooked by ordinary people. Besides, he also had things to prepare, so it was not convenient for him to keep the guests.
He politely stood up and was about to see the guest off, but suddenly he felt flustered and dizzy.
With a "bang", Chen Xiao couldn't hold on any longer and pressed his hands on the table, causing the tea set to jump.
Seeing his face suddenly turn ugly and his other hand covering his chest, Zhao Fang was startled and rushed over to support him.
"Senior, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Zhao Fang asked anxiously.
Chen Xiao was too dizzy to stand, cold sweat soon covered his forehead, his head was buzzing, and his vision was blurry. Zhao Fang saw that he couldn't even reply, so he quickly helped him sit on the chair by the wall.
Wan Qing was standing by the door. Her master suddenly felt unwell. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She ran to find Qian Chuan in panic.
After all, Qian Chuan and Wan Qing were trained to serve others. When faced with such an emergency, they were inevitably panicked and had no idea what to do.
Qian Chuan was more resilient than Wan Qing after all. He rushed to Chen Xiao's side, looked at his face, and asked Zhao Fang hesitantly, "Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look?"
He also didn't know whether the doctor in charge could help the practitioner if he got sick.
Seeing that the two people around Chen Xiao were not capable of handling the matter, Zhao Fang took the initiative to help Chen Xiao to the bedroom and settled him down.
He didn't know what was wrong with Chen Xiao, so he asked Qian Chuan and Wan Qing to watch over him, and he went directly to Zhencaotang to find an alchemist or pharmacist who was proficient in medicine to come and take a look.
By the time Chen Xiao recovered from his dizziness, it was already completely dark. The room was brightly lit, but Qian Chuan and Wan Qing had gone somewhere, and no one was guarding the bed.
Chen Xiao frowned, stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. After relaxing for a while and feeling less uncomfortable, he walked out of the bedroom.
"Xiao brother, what made you wake up?"
Unexpectedly, Li and Zhou were actually sitting in the small hall outside the door with Zhao Fang. When they saw him appear, they also stood up.
Chen Xiao looked at Li and Zhou in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Li Yuzhou glanced at Zhao Fang and said, "I happened to go to Zhencaotang and happened to meet him when he was seeing a pharmacist. I asked about his condition and was interested in his illness. When the results came out and he gave me the specific address, I knew it was your home, so I hurried over to take a look."
This is an unexpected coincidence.
Chen Xiao said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Li and Zhou said, "Why are you being polite? We are friends. I gave you some relief medicine. You should still be feeling a little uncomfortable. Take another dose tomorrow and you will be almost well."
Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly: "Okay."
Without Li and Zhou telling him, he knew what was wrong with him: he was drunk on tea!
In the past, I have only heard that people who do not usually drink tea will experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, sweating, weakness in the limbs, and unsteady standing if they suddenly drink tea, or drink a lot of tea in a short period of time.
That's because the ingredients in tea cause the nerves to become overly excited, and in severe cases may even cause muscle spasms, heart rate disorders, and convulsions.
Normally, Chen Xiao drinks some tea every day. He thinks he has a moderate resistance to the caffeine contained in tea leaves, but he didn't expect the tea sent by Xi Yunting to be so strong.
However, he also had a problem, because he was curious about how many times the tea could be brewed, so he kept drinking it, which led to such an embarrassing incident.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but say to Zhao Fang: "Don't tell my brother about my tea drinking."
Zhao Fang is not the kind of person who does not know the importance of things. Since Chen Xiao is deliberately concealing the truth, he naturally won't say anything.
Zhao Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, senior. I won't say much. You can take a good rest first, and don't rush to prepare things. I will stay for two more days."
After thanking Zhao Fang, Chen Xiao sent him away.
After returning, Li and Zhou asked him curiously: "What kind of tea did you drink that could make people drunk?"
Chen Xiao handed the opened box to Li Yuzhou. As soon as he opened the lid, the fragrant tea aroma surprised Li Yuzhou and he said, "Such a rich spiritual energy! Such a pure spiritual tea, no wonder you can't stand it."
Chen Xiao's mastery of Feng Shui made him very sensitive to the aura. He had no spiritual roots, so he couldn't tell whether the spiritual energy was strong or not.
He simply thought that tea was sweet and delicious.
You have to know that spiritual tea, like spiritual incense, can also assist in cultivation. Only in the hands of practitioners can it really play its role. For Chen Xiao, this heavy mysterious spiritual tea can only pay attention to the taste, he can't absorb the spiritual energy at all.
Xi Yunting knew all this clearly, but he didn't think it was a waste of natural resources. Although he couldn't absorb and accumulate the spiritual tea, once it passed through his body, it could nourish his body to some extent.
Chen Xiao took out a half-pound bottle of rock tea and said to Li and Zhou, "This is the rock tea that my eldest brother just made. Brother Li, try it too."
Li and Zhou had no access to the upper echelons of the Immortal Cultivation World, so they didn't know the fame of Chongxuan Rock Tea. However, he could judge its top quality simply from the purity of this spiritual tea.
Chen Xiao gave him such a precious spiritual tea. Li Yuzhou hesitated for a moment, but finally thanked him and accepted it.
The spiritual tea that can assist in spiritual practice is too rare for him, not to mention that this is Chen Xiao's intention. It is not his character to refuse repeatedly. It is better to find an opportunity to repay this kindness in the future.
Li Yuzhou recalled what he had just talked about with Zhao Fang, and said to Chen Xiao very bluntly: "Your two servants are not very good at handling the situation. If it weren't for Zhao Fang, if something happened to you, they wouldn't know how to deal with it. Besides, you are just two mortals after all, and you can't handle some things that require cultivators to come forward. You might as well find two low-level cultivators."
In this regard, he did better than Chen Xiao. The fat lady who helped him cook was a low-level cultivator.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "I accepted them just to have someone to clean the house and serve tea and water. If they can do these, they have already fulfilled their duties."
After hearing what he said, Li and Zhou stopped trying to persuade him. They left him another dose of conditioning medicine and went home.
When he lay down on the bed, Chen Xiao really felt that he should hire someone to help him share the burden. He was responsible for developing the market and doing Feng Shui, so busy that he had almost no time to practice.
But it is not so easy to find a qualified helper. He might as well hope that Du Rong can come out of retreat and successfully advance to the foundation-building stage.
Thinking that Du Rong had been in seclusion for such a long time without success, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little worried. At this moment, he couldn't spare the time to go back to Zhushanju outside Hanshan City, so he went directly to Zhishitang to issue the task.
Yingxian Island and Hanshan City are in a superior-subordinate relationship. Chen Xiao originally had a mission at Gengsheng's place to deliver supplies to Du Rong. This time he just updated the content here. After going through the procedures, he can directly see the new content in Hanshan City.
Originally Chen Xiao didn't hold out much hope, but he didn't expect that the next afternoon, Du Rong would come to him based on the message he left.
