Chapter 246 Do you like her that much?
Qu Mingxiao was forced to sit farther away, looking at his uncle with a resentful look on his face.
"Sit tight!"
Ji Sichen held his shoulders and prevented him from moving.
Ye Jinmo is skilled in grinding tea.
Meng Qingqing sitting opposite also sat down uncomfortably. Seeing that Qu Mingxiao's eyes were always on her, she couldn't help but speak.
"It seems that Jinmo not only understands medicine, but also has a deep understanding of tea art research. You were hesitant to move just now. Are you hiding your incompetence? I didn't expect that you could really perform this fan dance!"
Ye Jinmo naturally heard the sarcasm in these words. She kept moving her hands and said in a cold and calm tone, "It was you who said that tea art should be paired with dancing. Today I am asking for this tea set for my master. Of course I can't be stage-frightened, otherwise he will be angry when he comes back."
Meng Qingqing put down the tea-grinding tools and said with a mocking tone: "I came here today just to learn tea art. I can't take away Aunt Wen's tea set."
The direct confrontation between the two became increasingly intense.
Wen Ci was a little confused. This was the first time she met these two children today. Why did she feel like... they had a grudge against each other?
Old Madam Ji said, "What kind of words are you talking about? Are you looking down on our Ji family and thinking that Xiaoci is reluctant to part with a set of tea sets?"
She doesn't like the Meng family.
Meng Qingqing quickly shook her head and dared not speak anymore.
After the tea is ground, the next step is to make tea and scald the cups. Use a sieve to sift out finer tea powder and scald the cups with hot water.
The most critical step is to make seven soups and tea.
I saw two people at the tea table using boiling water to dissolve the tea powder into tea soup, and then using a tea whisk to rotate and stir the tea soup.
Meng Qingqing moved very quickly, and soon white foam appeared in the tea soup.
Wen Ci nodded in satisfaction: "This tea-making skill is quite good."
With her praise, Meng Qingqing worked harder and looked across from her from time to time.
"Student Jinmo, this requires extremely fast hand speed and a clever method. If you keep tapping and stopping like that, the tea foam will easily disperse."
Ye Jinmo's eyes were focused and she didn't say anything.
The white fingers pinched the tea whisk and rhythmically rotated it to beat the tea.
Chu Hong stared at her movements without blinking.
Qu Mingxiao was puzzled: "Is there any problem?"
Wen Ci also looked over, and in an instant, surprise appeared in her eyes: "Little girl, is this the same as the "flicking the strings" in the guzheng technique?"
Chu Hong was surprised: "Applying piano playing skills to making tea is not something that ordinary people can do! I don't think Old Man Ye can do this either!"
Qu Mingxiao's eyes widened: "No way? Xiao Momo, you are so awesome!"
Ji Sichen's lips curled up into a faint smile and he looked at the girl with a firm and proud gaze.
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Ye Jinmo.
Meng Qingqing pursed her lips unhappily and stopped what she was doing: "My tea is ready!"
The two men picked up their tea bowls and stood up and walked forward.
In the tea bowl, the white tea soup was delicate and dense, and Wen Ci nodded with satisfaction.
"Both are well done, soup color, tie."
Ye Jinmo smiled and nodded, her eyes glancing at Meng Qingqing's smug look, not caring much.
She poured a bowl of tea into a flat plate and shook it left and right to spread the tea evenly.
After waiting for a while, the tea leaves in the tea tray remain.
Meng Qingqing on the opposite side looked at her tea tray. The tea soup was still thick and dense, and she finally felt relieved.
If she bites the lamp, she will definitely win.
So what if the tea-making technique is fancy?
The key is whether you can hold on to the cup for a long time!
Just when she looked up and was about to announce her results, she saw Ye Jinmo opposite her, drawing something with his head down.
Wen Ci and Chu Hong were also attracted and stood up.
The little girl was seen painting on the soup foam with clean water, sketching lightly with three or two strokes. In less than five seconds, a picture of a Chinese New Year reunion appeared on the white soup foam.
Wen Ci's mood could no longer be described as surprise: "You actually know the tea art? This is the first time I've seen a young person who can perform the tea art to such perfection!"
Old Madam Ji smiled and said, "I said Jinmo is very good!"
A group of people surrounded her, praising her endlessly.
Meng Qingqing looked at her tea tray, her eyes reddened, she was not convinced.
She stood up, squeezed through the crowd, and when she saw the reunion picture, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"How do you know this?"
Isn't this thing lost?
When she was learning tea art, none of the tea artists knew tea arts!
"Is it better than tea taste?" Ye Jinmo did not answer her question.
Meng Qingqing looked indignant, glanced at everyone's faces, gritted her teeth and said, "Compete!"
She will never give up until the last moment!
Same tea leaves, same water.
The taste of tea ordered by different people is different.
Wen Ci picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Qingqing, your tea is very good, but Jinmo's tea is more fragrant. This is related to the amount of water added and the time when making tea. You have done a good job!"
She was fair in saying that.
Chu Hong also said: "Indeed, both cups of tea are good, but Jinmo is obviously better at making the clear and sweet taste of Rainforest Longjing."
Ji Sichen stepped forward and coughed lightly: "Cousin, you must keep your word. Both sets of porcelain must be given to Jinmo!"
Wen Ci rolled her eyes at him: "Don't worry, brat!"
It seemed that everyone's attention was on Ye Jinmo.
Meng Qingqing felt it was difficult to breathe and she couldn't stay in this place any longer.
She picked up her coat, exchanged a few words and was about to leave.
"Qingqing, wait a moment," Wen Ci turned around and asked the servant to bring her suitcase, "You cured Mingxiao's stomach disease, and I haven't had time to thank you yet. This is a small gift, I hope you can accept it."
She took out a jewelry box from the suitcase, which contained a set of jewelry worth a lot of money.
"Aunt Wen, I can't accept something so valuable!" A gleam of light flashed in Meng Qingqing's eyes, but she immediately concealed it.
"You must accept it. This is my gift. Don't take today's tea art exchange too seriously. Tea art is meant to soothe the mind and body. If you become jealous because of this, you will be violating the tea ceremony of our ancestors."
She smiled and nodded, and her hatred grew stronger as her eyes glanced at Ye Jinmo's face.
This clearly means that she has bad intentions!
If it weren’t for Ye Jinmo, her tea art would definitely shine in front of Wen Ci!
Due to the large crowds, she didn't say anything else. She exchanged a few words of greeting, said goodbye and left.
At the gate of Ji’s house.
A light snow fell from the sky.
"Brother Xiao, Auntie Wen is such a kind and gentle person!"
Qu Mingxiao shrugged: "Of course, today she really recognized Xiao Momo's tea art. I think if I pursue her, my mother will definitely help me."
Meng Qingqing's hands tightened little by little: "Do you like her that much?"
He stopped and patted her shoulder: "Miss Meng, let me make it clear today. It is impossible for us to be together. I only regard you as a good friend."
She pulled the corners of her mouth, her tone choking a little: "Me too, we are best friends!"
She took a deep breath and walked away step by step. Qu Mingxiao had already gone back.
As soon as she got in the car and sat in the driver's seat, she saw Ji Sichen and Ye Jinmo walking out together.
She rolled down the car window and faintly heard the words "Jiang Xiwen" in the conversation between the two.
Without thinking too much, she drove after him.
