The 235th chapter seven soup tea method

Because of the classical Chinese language that Lu Yu spoke, Inoue Yu seemed to understand.

In fact, what Lu Yu said was the key to boiling water in "Tea Bottle Soup" written by Luo Dajing, a tea man from the Southern Song Dynasty.

When ordering tea in the Song Dynasty, the degree of water boiling was emphasized, which was called "houtang".

It is the most difficult to wait for soup. If the foam is not ripe, the foam will float, and if the tea is too ripe, the tea will sink. Only by mastering the procedure of boiling water can you make the color, fragrance and taste of the tea.

When I ordered tea in the Song Dynasty, I used soup bottles with round belly and thin neck to boil water. Because it was difficult to identify the degree of boiling water with my eyes, I could only rely on the sound of boiling water to judge the degree of boiling water.

There is also a saying in this book: "When the water is boiling, it is like the sound of insects and cicadas singing; suddenly a thousand cars come here, it is the second boil; when you hear the pine wind and the water in the stream, it is the third boil."

When it comes to the "three boils", the tea man should lift the soup bottle in time and inject boiling water into the tea cup that has been placed with tea powder. Then use the tea simmer to beat the tea soup until the water and tea fully blend and a layer of white tea foam floats on the surface of the tea soup.

Regarding boiling water and ordering tea, the Chinese and Southern Song tea people have already covered everything. Luo Dajing even said: "The method of sucking tea is that the soup is to be tender but not old. If the soup is tender, the tea tastes sweet, and if it is old, it will be too bitter."

But these Lu Yu would not explain to Inoue Yu at all.

Soon, the sound of water in the cast iron kettle was like the sound of the breeze blowing in the mountains and forests. Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes and took the cast iron kettle down and washed the water into his tea utensils that were filling matcha!

And Yuu of Inoue was not slow either. He had been observing the boiling degree of water, and at this moment he had begun to rush into the boiling water for the first time.

But Lu Yu listened with her eyes closed and her ears, while Inoue Yu watched from time to time. The two were compared with each other and the difference was determined!

Seeing this, everyone around the Chinese nodded and looked happy.

And those Japanese people all began to look serious.

They have met Chinese tea people before, and even second-level tea people with the same level as Inoue Yu, but they have never seen anyone who can summarize the method of listening to the sound and defending water! Could it be that this is what Lu Yu created?!

How could they know that the Song Dynasty of China was the heyday of Chinese tea culture. From princes, ministers, literati and monks, to merchants and gentlemen, to the common people, all considered drinking tea as a fashion. All this knowledge about tea is also a summary of the tea style of the Song Dynasty's elite inherited the prosperous Tang Dynasty's tea style!

Moreover, there are already some things to say about this tea-making battle. What the two sides competed with was the technique of making tea and the delicateness of the foam.

Therefore, Lu Yu was even more scruples. From the beginning, he directly abandoned the tea-making technique that was popular in Japan, just like the technique he used to rinse the first gust of water at this moment. He used the most famous and classic "Seven Soup Tea-making Method" in the Song Dynasty!

The "Seven Soup Tea Method" comes from "The Theory of Daguan Tea" by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.

"The Great Temple Tea Theory" says: "That is wonderful, the amount of tea is taken into the soup, mix it like melting glue, pour it around the cup, and do not invade the tea. If you do not want to be strong, you must first stir the tea paste and gradually blow it. The hand is light and the fingers are heavy, and the fingers are twisted around the wrist, and the upper and lower parts are thorough, like the surface of the fermented tillage. The sparse stars and bright moons are born, and the tea surface is fundamentally established."

Lu Yu poured boiling water into the first time he poured it along the inner wall of the bowl, and did not directly rinse it on the tea powder!

When he first poured water, his gesture of stirring the tea slab was very light, and he first stirred the tea powder into a tea paste.

Then, while pouring water, the sword intent of Dugu Jiujian secretly rotates and blows quickly, making it clear up and down, and the milk foam begins to slowly produce!

...

"The second soup is poured from the tea noodles, and it goes back every week, and it stops quickly. The tea noodles do not move. After the force of the blow, the color gradually becomes clear, and the pearls are open."

During the stirring process, the water in the pot boiled again.

Lu Yu injected boiling water for the second time, and the water column rushed directly to the surface of the tea soup!

His movements were quick and neat, he was quick to take action and stopped!

The milk foam that had formed when it was stirring just now had not disappeared, and Lu Yu also stirred the noodle soup with his wrist.

In a moment, the white and green bead-like foam began to accumulate rapidly!

...

"The three soups are as numerous as before. The blowing and brushing is more expensive and even, the surroundings are reversible, the exterior and interior are well-rounded, and the crab eyes are full of cracks and mixed, and the tea is already six or seven out of ten."

Not long after, Lu Yu began to inject boiling water for the third time!

The amount of water injected at this moment was the same as before, but his whipping and stirring became lighter again.

Because the foam has accumulated, all you need is to stir evenly.

After a moment, like white-green corn crab eyes, the water droplet-like milk foam gradually covered the surface of the tea soup.

...

"Si Tang is still a gentleman, and the penis wants to turn the tips, but not quickly. The essence is already bright and light clouds are gradually emerging."

By the fourth time when boiling water was injected, Lu Yu had already reduced the amount of water injected.

The whisk of the tea squid in his hand was also reduced a little more. The goal to achieve was to thicken the milk foam on the surface of the tea soup and slowly accumulate.

At this moment, his movements were still flowing, and the people around him gradually changed from initial suspicion and surprise to appreciation.

With the blessing of Dugu Nine Swords' sword intent and powerful body functions, Lu Yu's tea utensil is much larger than ordinary tea utensils, and he is at ease without any delay or effort!

...

"The five soups can be slightly erected. The penis should be light and smooth and smooth. If the hair is not finished, then hit it to make it. If the hair is not finished, brush it to cure it. If the hair is not finished, brush it to cure it, and build up the mist, condense the snow, and the tea color is over."

The fifth time of water injection came in a flash, and it was also a very critical moment in the entire tea-making process.

When Lu Yu pours boiling water into it, the whipping and stirring movement is extremely light and even.

When the foam is not much, he continues to whip and stir. When the foam is enough, he stops whip and lets the foam slowly condense.

Until the milk is like a pile of snowflakes, strive to form the most ideal brown color.

The timing of this step must be extremely accurate!

If it is an ordinary tea bowl and tea utensil, it requires even more exquisite kung fu and unique eyesight.

But at this time the advantages of large tea utensils are revealed. Compared with the subtle observation of small tea utensils, large tea utensils are relatively easier to grasp the opportunity and strength!

...

"Six Decoction is made with the observation, and the milk is erect, and then it is just a swaying and whirling."

Until the sixth time injected boiling water, Lu Yu had already breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this time, he has to do it according to the formation of the milk foam.

If the milk foam in the bowl is too large and thick, just gently surround the wall of the bowl.

The thin beads of sweat were also visible on Lu Yu's forehead and sideburns.

Ordering this cup of tea requires not only exquisite techniques, but also extremely focused spirit.

If it weren't for Dugu Jiujian's exquisite understanding of sword intent, flexible wrists at will, and physical function enhancement potions, he would probably not be able to support it at all.

For Lu Yu, the physical energy he has spent now is even more terrifying than a battle with a martial arts master!

While slowly wiping the excess foam around his wrist, the other hand slowly stretched towards the cast iron kettle.

Seven soups of tea need to be filled with boiling water seven times, which means that with the last injection of water, you will be successful!

With the kettle in hand, Lu Yu gently recited the final description of the seven soup tea-making method in "Daguan Tea Theory" in his heart...

"Seven Decoctions are divided into light, clear, heavy, turbid, dilute, thick and medium, and can stop when you want."
