The girl in green shirt hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted Lu Jing's proposal and nodded to the latter.
"Then please wait here for a moment. My yard is very messy and it is not convenient for receiving guests. I will make tea for you here when I put down the things in my hands.
"Thank you." Lu Jing naturally had no objection to this.
In fact, not entering the courtyard was exactly what he wanted. Who knows if he might accidentally trigger some strange side quests after entering, or it would be safer to just drink tea in silence outside like this, and still enjoy the tranquility of the forest. view.
The girl in green shirt then walked into the courtyard without saying another word.
After a while, he came out again, but he had already moved a small table and two small grass balls to the open space outside the door, and then went in to get a tea set.
Lu Jing was not idle either. He took advantage of this time to pick up some dry branches and pile them together for the girl in green shirt to make tea later. After that, he volunteered to carry a wooden bucket to fetch mountain spring water.
When he came back, the girl in green shirt was already sitting on the grass ball, placed the tea utensils, lit the pile of firewood, and then pointed at the two tea cups with shadow and green engraved sunflower mouths on the table.
A small piece of tea cake has been placed inside.
Lu Jing is no longer the country bumpkin he was when he first arrived. Seeing this, he picked up the tea cup in front of him, first looked at the color and shape of the tea cake, and then put his nose up to smell the tea.
Then he put down the tea cup in his hand and praised, "Good tea."
He was not being purely polite, but the tea was indeed very good. Even someone like him who knew little about tea could tell that this tea was not ordinary.
If it were sold in the market outside, I'm afraid it would only cost ten or twenty gold.
This was already more than the price of the basket of fruits and vegetables. After all, Lu Jing took advantage.
However, this also shows that the green gauze girl does not like to owe favors.
When Lu Jing put down the tea bowl, she crushed the tea cakes in the bowl. The spring water in the cauldron on the other side happened to be boiling, so the girl in green shirt also started to order tea.
The tea fighting style was very popular in the Chen Dynasty, and its process was similar to that of Lu Jing's previous life of King of Glory. From the nobles to the common people, everyone was quite fond of it.
But after all, tea fighting is a very expensive entertainment activity. Both tea leaves and tea sets cost a lot of money. Some people even travel thousands of miles to find a good spring to make tea, even if they only bring one or two servants, they will find a place to stay in an ordinary wild shop. , which is also a big expense.
Therefore, the famous masters among them basically come from the families of officials or wealthy businessmen.
For example, today's official families, although they are suspected of being flattered by the people below, are indeed very good at tea-making. Gu Caiwei was born in a family of officials, so she also practiced tea-making.
He also made tea for Lu Jing to drink with his own hands, and Lu Jing was also pleased to see it.
But looking at the girl in green shirt now, her movements are obviously more skillful. She measures tea and soup, mixes it like melted glue, her hands are light and heavy, and her fingers are twirling around her wrists.
Betting down from the tea surface, returning to the front line every week, urgently betting up, but the tea surface does not move.
When the second soup is gone, the color gradually opens up, the pearls fall out, and then becomes more noble and light, and the same ring rotates, the surface and the inside are clear, the grains are crab eyes, and the knots are mixed, and the brown color is six or seven.
After the seventh soup, the clear and turbid substances are separated, and the milk mist surges up and overflows the cup, then condenses around without moving, which is called biting the cup.
"Please drink." The girl in green shirt handed the tea cup to Lu Jing's hand and said.
"Then I won't be polite."
Lu Jing has already seen that the girl in green shirt should come from a wealthy family. If she had not been raised since childhood, she would not be able to practice tea ordering to this level.
However, Lu Jing didn't bother to inquire about the girl's past. At this moment, he just regarded himself as a tea guest. After appreciating the girl's tea art, he put the tea cup to his mouth.
He just took a small taste and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
Because it was different from the other teas he had drunk before, the bowl made by the girl in the green shirt was very special. It had no astringent taste at all. It was quite mellow in the mouth, and he could actually feel a warmth when he swallowed it. , just like drinking
However, it didn't have the staying power of wine. Instead, the fragrance of tea spread between the lips and teeth.
Lu Jing never thought that tea could have such distinct levels.
Although he had decided to leave after drinking the tea without looking or asking more questions, Lu Jing couldn't help but ask, "How did you make this tea?"
The girl didn't hide her secrets and replied, "Oh, this is a method I figured out by myself. The key lies not in the tea leaves, but in the soup used to make the tea."
"But I got this spring water. It's just ordinary spring water." Lu Jing recalled the actions of the girl in green shirt when she was making tea before, and said suddenly, "Yes, you took out a paper bag and added some water to the cauldron." Order something.”
"Yes, the thing I added is a medicinal material called fire lantern, which is produced in the Western Regions. However, it is best not to add it casually when you drink tea, because fire lantern itself is poisonous."
Seeing Lu Jing suddenly stunned, the girl in green misunderstood what he meant, thinking that Lu Jing was worried about being poisoned, so she explained, "Don't be nervous, the fire lanterns I use to make tea are all from the same year." Those between thirty and fifty years old are the least toxic and must be neutralized with several other drugs.
"Now the tea in your bowl is no longer poisonous. Instead, it can help you warm your stomach with the medicinal properties of fireweed. In addition, the Western Region has become colder in the past two years and is no longer suitable for the growth of fireweed. The fireweed on the market is also It’s hard to buy anymore.”
She was still talking about sencha, but she didn't know that Lu Jing's heart had started to beat wildly.
The main method he now uses to solve the trouble in Dantian is to fall into the mortal world. He got this poison from Song Zhongwen's follower Xiao Yi. According to Xiao Yi, this poison comes from the notorious Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
The owner of the valley, Dongmen Wuce, had unparalleled poison skills. However, because he acted too arrogantly, he was besieged by the righteous martial arts, which led to the destruction of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. Most of Dongmen Wuce's family and disciples also died, leaving only a little daughter. Five years ago, he was hunted down by a master of the righteous path, and his whereabouts are unknown since then.
It can't be... such a coincidence, right?
A storm arose in Lu Jing's heart. Although it would be a bit arbitrary to identify the other party just because of a drug, considering the gender and age of the girl in green shirt, and her obvious ability to use poison, coupled with her previous extraordinary temperament The unusual sense of vigilance greatly increased the possibility that she would become Dongmen Wuce's youngest daughter.
In addition, there is a newly built thatched cottage in front of her, which also shows that she has not been in the valley for a long time, and Dongmen Wu Ce's little daughter has been missing for five years.
With the strength of the top righteous sects such as Xijiang Pavilion and Xuankong Temple, it is almost unimaginable that they have not heard any news about her for so long.
Of course, if she had entered the academy and became a paper figurine in Jinghu Valley, this would be explainable.
