Chapter 214 Tea Culture (Page 2/2)

"Translator Jiang is too modest." Old Party Secretary Lin did not dare to look down on this cultured girl at all. Their region had a different view of literati, so he gave up his position directly.

Jiang Qian thanked her and said to Ms. Julie and her assistant in English, "Please take a seat. You have come from afar. It is my honor to invite you to taste our tea culture."

Ms. Julie sat down with a smile. The two assistants did not sit down but just stood there, but it was obvious that they were also very interested in the Chinese tea culture.

Jiang Qian started to make tea for them.

While making tea, I explained the rhythm of making tea to them, and the first thing I did was to introduce them to tea sets.

"This is the bowl cover, this is the teapot, the scented cup, the teacup, the tea strainer..."

Jiang Qian introduced these things one by one. Her voice was gentle and pleasant, and her spoken language was fluent without any unfamiliarity, and very smooth and natural.

After introducing the tea set, she began to warm the cups.

While washing the teacups with boiling water, she smiled and introduced the process of washing the teacups to Ms. Julie. She could speak once in Chinese and once in English, "This is also called White Crane Bathing..."

"When the White Crane has finished bathing, it is time for Oolong to enter the palace..."

Jiang Qian did all this slowly. Being a beautiful and delicate person, everything she did had its own flavor. One could not help but be attracted by her manner of washing tea cups.

Jiang Qian's temperament is originally very classical. As Gu Yunlan said, she feels like a lady who walked out of a painting of ladies. Her temperament is gentle and not at all aggressive. She really makes people feel like spring breeze.

Anyone who gets along with her will like her.

Not only Julie and the other two foreign friends who had never experienced the real tea culture, but also some other foreign friends were attracted by the tea-making scene here.

Gradually, before anyone knew it, a lot of people gathered around to watch Jiang Qian make tea.

Jiang Qian noticed it, but didn't take it too seriously. Besides, Secretary Lin was very polite and immediately lent a few more stools to the foreign friends and asked them to sit down and watch.

After Jiang Qian made the tea, she gently scraped off the foam on the surface of the tea with the tea lid. Her movements were graceful and peaceful, like a spring breeze.

"What is this called?" Julie couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Qian smiled slightly and said, "This is called scraping foam, also known as spring breeze blowing on the face."

Then she started pouring the brewed tea into the smelling cup.

This step is called Auspicious Dragon Bringing Rain.

After that comes the tea distribution, which also has a very elegant name, called Phoenix Nodding.

When Jiang Qian was dividing the tea, he held it one high and one low. Those white as green onion hand gestures looked like a white phoenix taking a sip and a peck, didn't they?

Finally, smell the fragrance and drink tea.

After she finished this whole set of skills, these foreign friends who were greatly enlightened and feasted their eyes couldn't help but applaud.

Not to mention them, even fellow countrymen couldn't help but applaud when they saw Jiang Qian's demeanor when he was making tea.

I know how to make tea, but I never knew there are so many steps and details involved in the tea ceremony.

They were not stupid enough to think that Jiang Qian was fooling foreigners. She was clearly an expert.

Lin Xiuxia clapped so hard that her hands turned red and her eyes were shining!

Secretary Lin was also convinced. He had been dealing with tea all his life and had reached the pinnacle of tea brewing.

It turns out that this translator Jiang can come up with so many tricks!

This is really amazing.
