Chapter 913: Tea tasting (4,000 words, 2 in 1)

Tiandou City is extremely prosperous, with four rivers running through the city and extending by land. It is the national water and land transportation center. It ranks first in the country with developed commerce. It has a permanent population of 2 million and a floating population of more than 10 million. It is the national population. Most cities.
There are many lively markets in the city. There are various shops in the market, and even night markets. During the holidays, Tiandou City is even more lively. The center is composed of a rainbow-shaped bridge and the streets of Qiaotou Street, crowded with people. The river flows continuously. There are some vendors on the west side of the bridge. There are knives, swords, and groceries on the stalls. Some sell tea and some are fortune-telling. Many tourists rely on the railings on the bridge side, or point at them, or watch the river go ship.
On the sidewalk in the middle of the bridge, there is a bustling flow of people, sitting in sedan chair, some riding a horse, some carrying a burden, some driving donkeys to transport goods, some pushing a wheelbarrow...
The south side of the bridge is connected to the street. On both sides of the street are tea houses, taverns, shops, and workshops. There are many small vendors with big umbrellas on the open spaces on both sides of the street. The street extends east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city.
There are a lot of ships in the river, and it can be said that thousands of sails compete with each other. Some are moored near the pier, and some are driving in the river. Due to the heavy load of some large ships, the owner hired many trackers to pull the ship. A large ship carrying cargo has sailed under the bridge and will soon pass through the bridge hole. At this time, the boatman on the big ship seemed very busy. Some stood on the canopy of the boat and lowered the sail; some braced vigorously on the side of the ship; some used the long rod to withstand the roof of the bridge hole to make the boat pass safely along the water. This tense scene attracted the attention of the tourists on the bridge and the neighboring boatmen, who stood by and cheered.
From the south of the bridge, a man and a woman greeted.
Yu Tianheng is dressed in a blue brocade, a black belt is fastened around his waist, and a red agate is inlaid in the middle. A sachet is worn around his waist, and a good fragrance is wafting. The long hair that was left behind was cut off. With clean, broken hair, eyebrows slanted into temples, bright eyes like stars, crown and face like jade, red lips and white teeth, and a magnificent body, along the way, he frequently attracted the eyes of the young girls around her.
And beside him, is his newlywed wife Duguyan.
The purple robe clings to the slender and slender figure of the lone goose, a shawl with long black hair like a waterfall, the tail is slightly curled, a pair of narrow eyes are slightly narrowed, and one hand is holding Yu Tianheng's arm, which is slightly mean. The thin lips are slightly upturned, Gang Gang and Yu Tianheng's marriage are moisturized, with infinite femininity, like a mature peach, people can't wait to peel her off.
It's been a long time since the two of them wandered around Heaven Dou City leisurely like today, and both cherished the peaceful time now.
The news of Emperor Xueye’s death did not affect the lives of ordinary people. Everyone should work and live their lives.
Listening to the yelling of the vendors at the street stall one after another, Dugu Yan's head rested on Yu Tianheng's shoulder, and said:
"Tianheng, those people suddenly invited us to a gathering of old friends from the Five Elements Academy. What do you think they want to do?"
"It should be related to the news of your majesty's death." Yu Tianheng considered for a moment, and said: "After all, now the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Zhan Tian Gang have signed a joint statement to send assassins to the Wuhun Empire to assassinate Your Majesty. To condemn the incident, the Wuhun Empire side was not to be outdone, and issued a joint announcement with Seagod Island, claiming that this matter has nothing to do with them, and that the remnants of the Star Dou Forest are about to move on the border. Now the smell of gunpowder is strong, and war is about to start. Signs, our old friends don’t talk about hands and eyes, but the news from the upper level is probably already known. I’m afraid I can’t sit still now, right?"
During the conversation, the two walked across the bridge to a teahouse in front of them.
The earliest embryonic form of a tea house was a tea stall. It first appeared a thousand years ago. At that time, some people used tea as a commodity to buy and sell in the market. However, this is still a mobile stall and cannot be called a tea house. At this time, the role of tea stalls is only It's just to quench people's thirst.
The rise of teahouses is due to the evolution of urbanization. Some clever people set up sencha shops in towns, markets, and roads. They began to become popular among the three religions and nine liu groups, and gradually attracted the upper-class nobles, wealthy merchants, and others. Favored by officials, tea drinking has formed a ethos, spreading from top to bottom, so that everyone has since followed suit. Teahouses bloomed all over the empire and quickly spread. In addition, teahouses can quench people’s thirst, but also have both. The function of giving people rest and feeding is greatly welcomed by the people.
The two entered the bazaar, where thousands of merchants gathered and all industries prospered.
Glancing at the signs of the teahouses around, Yu Tianheng led the lone goose into a teahouse. There were flower stands everywhere in the teahouse, strange pine and cypresses and other objects were placed on it, the storefront was decorated, the shop was sold, and celebrities were hanging on the wall Calligraphy and painting are arty and add elegance. Many dignitaries and celebrities in Tiandou City like to gather here.
Under the leadership of the teahouse owner, the two walked up to the attic and entered a secluded box.
"Tianheng, Mei Yan, haven't seen you for a long time."
No one arrives, the sound arrives first.
Accompanied by a warm greeting, a man of medium build and a very ordinary appearance came forward, hugged Yu Tianheng, and patted his shoulders. The eyes of this man were shining with fiery brilliance and his shoulders were very wide. A gold-red tights set off his not handsome face, but it was imposing.
"Brother Wushuang, I haven't seen you for half a year, it's still the same."
Yu Tianheng smiled and glanced at the girl behind Huo Wushuang, even if he is now married and has a wife, he still feels like a bright spot in front of him.
She is beautiful and youthful and beautiful like a hibiscus in the water, wearing a red dress on her body, as if she was born to be tailored for her, adding a bit of grace and noble temperament, a long dark red hair softly falls from the ears Hanging down, casually draped on his shoulders, and gently floating in the breeze with a nice smell.
As soon as she appeared, she seemed to be the focus of the audience.
She is like a beautiful sun, even her every move naturally affects the minds of others.
The tight dress envelops the figure that makes any man hang down, proud bust, flat lower abdomen, and a tightly covered long leg, and a faint redness is revealed around the body. The light made her unique, as if she was born from the flames.
The small hand of the Dugu Goose was secretly hidden behind Yu Tianheng, and under the sight of everyone behind his back, he severely pinched a handful of meat on Yu Tianheng's waist, and Yu Tianheng grinned in pain.
With an unsearchable cold snort, the Dugu Goose's face did not show the slightest strangeness. He looked at Huo Wu with a smile and said:
"Sister Huo Wu, I haven't seen you for many days, the brilliance is still there, when will you get married?"
Huo Wu's eyes drooped, flashing a trace of sadness.
For some reason, as soon as Dugu Goose came out, Huo Wu couldn't help but see Yang Ming's voice and face. The image of Yang Mingwei's had been deeply imprinted in her mind. Other men compared with him, all They are all overshadowed.
It's a pity that the male is already married, and Huo Wu knows that she's out of play, and looks down on other peers, so she couldn't help but smile, and said:
"Sister Yan, don't joke with my sister, I don't have a boyfriend yet."
The corners of Dugu Goose's mouth slightly twitched, but they couldn't say any harsh words, and after a few words that were neither salty nor indifferent, they took their seats one after another.
After a while, people came in one after another outside the door, all old faces and old friends of the Five Elements Academy.
Suddenly, Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up again, but he saw that a group of women appeared at the door, and they were all beautiful women.
The height of the lead girl is about 1.65 meters, and the figure is very well-proportioned. It is neither the exaggerated plumpness nor the thin type. She has long aqua-blue hair scattered behind her back, and her white face is dotted with delicate features. At first glance, it doesn't seem to be particularly gorgeous, but when you look closely, you can constantly discover her beauty. It is a hazy beauty.
She is Shui Binger from Tianshui College.
Among the five element academies, Tianshui College’s registration requirements are the most stringent, because in addition to the water elemental martial arts, they have several additional requirements.
First, only female students are admitted, and second, non-beauties are not accepted.
But they also have a human side. Among the five element academies, Tianshui College is the only one that is open to civilians.
Of course, after so many years, the students who represented their respective colleges in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition have already graduated from the college. Most of them chose to stay in the original college or go to the sect controlled by the college. In the middle of the post, it seems that there are few people who leave.
Seeing that all the people who should have come, Huo Wushuang picked up a wooden spoon made of mahogany and put the tea into a tureen, poured it over with boiling water from a pot next to it, neatly carrying the tea fragrance curling up, everyone's heart was in the heart. The tea smoke gradually settled, a long-lost sense of familiarity cleared the desolation in his chest, and his mind was empty.
Stir the boiling water repeatedly, then pour it into a porcelain bowl and place it in front of you. Use your thumb, index finger, and to form the "Three Dragons Protecting the Ding", lift up the celadon gently and evenly without breaking the tea soul.
The celadon is held in the palm of the palm, and a few tea leaves are stretched and rotated in the clear turquoise liquid, slowly sinking, rising and sinking, rising and falling three times, the buds and the shadows, water and light, complement each other. Just looking at it quietly, his eyes dark and soft, the tea sinks into the bottom of the cup, like a pen tip standing upright, and the sky is flying.
"The same tea leaves in the hands of different people, and the taste they make is very different."
Huo Wushuang handed the tea cup to everyone present, saying:
"Come and have a taste of the tea I made specially."
"Unexpectedly, after years of absence, Huo Wushuang, who was once known for his hot temper, has actually begun to learn how to cultivate one's body, it is strange and weird."
Shui Bing'er glanced at Huo Wushuang in surprise, but saw that his face was calm and calm.
Do not wait for three days, and treat each other with admiration.
Some people haven’t changed in a single day for ten years, and some people will change dramatically if they don’t see each other in a year. Huo Wushuang obviously belongs to the latter. No matter what realm his strength has reached now, this mindset alone is enough to make people feel right. He gave a thumbs up.
Seeing Shui Bing'er picked up the tea cup and was about to sullen his head to drink, Huo Wushuang smiled slightly and said:
"Tea is not drunk like this. Drinking tea is a realm. When you drink tea, don't think about or say anything. Don't even have the heart to drink tea. Focus on the tea and slowly taste the tea one bite at a time. Don’t worry about the sweetness and bitterness of the tea. The purer your heart, the more fragrant and refreshing the tea you will drink."
Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes silently, pouted, and said:
"Poor and particular!"
With that said, Shui Bing'er is still very honest, opening her small cherry mouth, exhaling like orchids, and her fragrant tone ripples on the tea water, and the lingering cigarettes hazy her face.
A cup of fragrant tea is hidden in the leaves of Jinfeng Yulu.
The tea entrance is slightly bitter, but bitter but not astringent, and the bitterness returns to sweetness.
"I still can't get used to drinking tea."
Shui Bing'er put down the cup and frowned slightly, seeming to be entangled with the taste of the tea.
Huo Wushuang put down the tea set, smiled slightly, and said:
"People are like tea. When difficulties such as boiling water strike, some struggle and float to the surface, and some evade and yield and sink into the bottom of the cup. Tea is like a person, and the first tea is green and fragrant, just like youthful vitality; The long-drinking tea is light and tasteless, just like aging in the old age."
"Life is like that bowl of tea. It was dry and bitter at the beginning, and full of fragrance after being brewed. After all, it was calm and peaceful after all."
Shui Bing'er frowned, a little unhappy, and said:
"Huo Wushuang, you invited us old friends to come over. Wouldn't it be that we are here to listen to your life insights?"
"Please! We are only in our early twenties. It is when we are young and strong. Isn't it too early to learn from those old people about life?"
Shui Bing'er's words actually speak out the aspirations of many people.
After all, nowadays, the spirit master circle is so fierce~EbookFREE.me~ coupled with the support of the blasting gang, a group of young people who practice the Qi Gong method and the "Summoning Sutra" are rising rapidly. They used to The dazzling geniuses have a lot of pressure on their shoulders. Not only do they have to go upstream and work hard to improve their own cultivation base, but also take on the task of revitalizing the sect. Everyone wants to break every minute and every second. Using it, being able to take the time to come to the party is already a lot of face for Huo Wushuang.
Huo Wushuang smiled and said:
"I invite you all to come, of course not to let everyone hear my feelings."
After speaking, Huo Wushuang continued:
"The death of Emperor Xueye, I think you all have a guess. Now the dark clouds of war are hanging over the empire. As a member of the Five Elements Academy, I will receive financial subsidies from the empire on weekdays and wait until the war is together. , I’m afraid we will all be called up to the battlefield."
"This time, unlike the last time the beast tide came, as far as I know, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Exploding Heaven Gang will send troops to sweep away the soul beast remnants in the Star Dou Forest, the lingering spirit empire, and Pian An Overseas Sea God Island, this will be a war that will affect the entire Douluo Continent, and it is impossible for everyone to stay out of the matter!"
