Chapter 17 Tea is like life, life is like tea
The sun sets.
The fiery red morning and evening glows on the countryside of Baiyun County, bringing out a unique beauty.
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan was still at home, busy writing the formula of Luban Lock.
Now, he has completely written the Four Seasons Lock and the Kong Ming Chain Lock.
It was also submitted to the Ministry of Industry.
As expected, he had already received one thousand taels of silver from the Ministry of Works.
After writing for a while, Qin Wenyuan finally wrote down the entire content of the third chapter of the Twelve Square Locks.
"Take a break first and submit it to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow."
Qin Wenyuan rewarded himself with rest time.
He stretched and walked out of the house to get some fresh air.
Outside the door, the first person he saw was his wife.
At this time, the breeze blew, blowing Changle's long, beautiful black hair, dancing in the wind, looking extremely beautiful.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled, walked forward and put his arms around Changle's slender waist from behind, his head lazily resting on Changle's shoulders.
"Madam, what are you thinking about?" Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
Changle smiled faintly, "No... just looking at the scenery that I couldn't see before."
"Husband, I have never had such a peaceful life before. I really want to continue walking with you like this forever."
Changle felt extremely comfortable and couldn't help but feel emotional.
In this life, I have really… I have never lived such a happy life.
Qin Wenyuan had a sunny smile on his face. "Madam, I don't know what to say to you. You and I are husband and wife, so we will naturally keep going."
"There is a saying in my hometown: How can a poor man dare to enter the prosperous world, and how can a clean-handed man miss a beautiful woman?"
"Maybe before today, I wouldn't have dared to say whether I could make it, but today, I earned some money, so I have full confidence."
"For the rest of your life, even if you want to run away, your husband will not let you go. I will capture you and bring you back to my Qin family."
Qin Wenyuan feels that he has been lucky all his life to spend his life with such a wife who cares about her family.
There is absolutely no way he would give up!
At this moment, Changle's face turned red when he heard this.
[How can a poor man dare to enter the prosperous world, how can a clean-handed man miss a beautiful woman...]
She muttered to herself that although she knew Qin Wenyuan was very smart, she was still surprised to see him utter such a talented poem.
My husband is truly talented.
Changle's red lips raised in an instant.
now.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly subtle, Qin Wenyuan coughed and said, "Ahem, Madam, let's not talk about this for now. By the way, what is your impression of tea?"
"Tea?"
Changle's mind was gradually drawn away. She held Qin Wenyuan's big hand that was around her slender waist and began to think carefully.
"The tea ceremony is divided into sencha, ancha and boiled tea."
"Sencha is the most popular type nowadays, and the tea used in the sencha method is cake tea."
"The tea cakes go through three processes: roasting, grinding and rolling, and then they are processed into fine powder, which is then used to brew tea."
"First, the tea cakes are dried again, which is called [roasted tea]. After the tea leaves cool down, they are taken out and crushed into powder. Then they are sieved through a fine sieve and the tea leaves are sifted out to become the tea powder to be cooked."
"To make tea, the tea leaves are first crushed, then boiled, dried, and pounded in spring."
"Then put it in a bottle or a narrow-mouthed earthenware vessel, fill it with boiling water, and then drink it. This is called Ancha."
"To make tea, you put onions, ginger, dates, orange peels, mint and other ingredients together and boil them thoroughly, either to make the soup boil more for a smoother soup or to boil away the tea foam."
After he finished speaking, Qin Wenyuan nodded.
"It seems that Madam knows it very well. The water I just boiled just now just happened to boil. How about Madam, would you like to experience your husband's tea-making skills?"
"Huh? Husband, can you make tea?" Changle was slightly stunned.
Qin Wenyuan said unconcernedly, "Of course, it's just a tea ceremony, it's not difficult for me!"
After all, he was in front of Changle, and Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but want to show off.
And the most terrifying thing is that Changle actually benefits from it!
She looked at Qin Wenyuan who didn't care at all and admired him even more!
Perhaps this is what is called beauty in the eyes of the beholder.
"Yeah." Changle nodded with a smile.
Then, the two of them walked into the house.
…
Inside the house, two people sat at a long table.
The table was filled with various tea sets that Qin Wenyuan had specially bought today.
Qin Wenyuan gently picked up a pot of tea and poured it into a celadon cup.
The tea smoke is curling up.
The lingering fragrance immediately filled the entire tea room.
"What a nice smell, my husband, what kind of tea is this? "
When he smelled the fragrance, Changle's expression suddenly became curious.
His big eyes stared at the yellowing tea leaves in the celadon cup.
She seemed to have never tasted such fragrant tea in the palace .
At the same time, she also knew that her husband had real abilities, not just talk.
"I found this by chance when I was wandering in Yizhou. It smelled so fragrant that I picked some and kept it until now."
"I didn't expect it to come in handy today."
Qin Wenyuan said as he prepared the tea set.
"So that's how it is."
Changle nodded silently and watched Qin Wenyuan brew tea with a serious expression.
“When you make tea, you are not just tasting a cup of tea, but also tasting the various aspects of life.”
"There are three theories about tea: one is the way, two is enlightenment, three is friends, four is qi, five is nature, six is taste, seven is emotion, eight is difficulty, nine is fragrance and ten is virtue."
“A cup of tea is bitter, sweet, and has a long aftertaste. Tea is like this, and so is life.”
"Pick up and put down. Pick up to survive, put down to live."
"Madam, these are not written in the books of the great scholars, right?"
Qin Wenyuan brewed tea over and over again.
The heavenly sound, like the sound of Sanskrit, lingers in the house.
The words fell.
Changle, who was sitting next to him, was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
A cup of tea, husband...husband, can actually understand so many truths?
Pick up to survive, put down to live.
Even if it is just about making tea, it is simply a life motto of enlightenment!!
Husband, what kind of person was he before?
What kind of life have you experienced?
Changle raised her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at the handsome young man in front of her with deep affection.
unconsciously.
I was actually a little obsessed with it.
I became more and more curious about Qin Wenyuan's previous life, and I began to yearn for what Qin Wenyuan called his "hometown".
"Ma'am, what are you daydreaming about?"
"Today, your husband is going to teach you how to make tea, madam. Now that I have finished the demonstration, you can try making it for me."
Qin Wenyuan said lightly.
"this……"
Changle blushed, "Husband, I... I was just thinking about your life philosophy, I didn't know how to make tea. "
"I have forgotten everything..."
Changle felt a little guilty because she was completely attracted by the way her husband was making tea.
She was completely focused on staring at her husband Qin Wenyuan, and completely forgot about the principles and techniques of making tea.
