Liu Yifu asked someone to bring some plain cups, and the tea was evenly distributed into the cups. "The plain cups outline the blue and white flowers." The white cups seemed to match the green nature very well, creating an elegant beauty overall.

They seemed to complement each other. When the hot water that had been prepared in the teapot was washed like this, the green leaves stirred with the whirlpool. As the hot water surged, Liu Yifu thought, it would be better if there was a glass cup. It would be more interesting and meaningful.

There is a chance.

In fact, it is not that there is no glass today, it is just that it is difficult to make and the technology has not made much breakthrough. There are many glassware similar to glasses, but they are not used on a large scale. Here, glass is more often called "glazed glass"

Colored glaze has not been used on a large scale. The first reason is cost and the difficulty of firing. The second reason is practicality. The fragile nature does deter many people. Moreover, the glass here is not transparent. You can call it colored glass.

The aesthetics are not as good as transparent glass.

Therefore, due to various factors, glass has not been used on a large scale. Even among the upper class, the usage is very small. It was not used in China until the Qing Dynasty. After such a long period of development, glassware gradually became popular as "

Crystal clear glass has no shadow.

Liu Dashao must be thinking of using transparent glass. Making transparent glass is not difficult. Just mix sand with a high quartz sand content with natural soda and bake it.

It is said that the first people to invent glass were the Phoenicians. This nation is one of the ancient European nations. They also became kings and hegemons in the Mediterranean area, causing the arrogant Greeks and Romans to suffer.

The Phoenicians were also an excellent merchant nation. They were the first to accidentally discover the formula for firing glass, which was obtained by mixing trona and quartz sand. Using this formula, the transparent glass they produced made Europe famous.

Crazy about it.

The Phoenicians made a fortune relying on this transparent glass formula. There is no way, who made the cost so cheap? Let’s talk about it later when we have the opportunity, Young Master Liu thought, soda ash is needed to make transparent glass.

, soda ash could only utilize trona ore before industrial scale.

The largest alkali mine in China was later discovered in Tongbai, Henan, and Tongbai is now in the hands of the Later Qin Dynasty. After sorting out this series of relationships, Mr. Liu felt a headache, and he still had a long way to go.

Before drinking tea, Liu Yifu still washed the tea according to the process. Some people think that this step of washing the tea is useless, and some people think it is necessary. There is no such trouble now, but the tea washing has existed for so long and has become the secret of tea culture.

It is an integral part that cannot be discussed.

Finally, the tea was ready. After waiting for a while, the tea leaves unfolded and the tea soup gradually turned light green, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Wei Wen closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking particularly intoxicated. He eagerly picked up a glass, covered his face with his sleeves, raised his head and took a slow sip.

put down the cup,

Sweet, aftertaste, excellent!

This is Wei Wen's most intuitive thought at this time.

Perhaps it was the result of his own efforts. Later, after Wei Wen became a tea master, he always felt that today's tea was the most delicious.

Liu Yifu took a sip and frowned slightly. It was a little different from the tea he had drunk before, but it was basically the same. It could have a 70% similarity to the original taste. There was no rush. This taste was enough. Take your time.

Improve it.

Looking around, everyone present took a sip more or less curiously, and everyone had different reactions: the maid looked a little embarrassed; Mu Nianyuan and Wei Yu took a sip and nodded; the little cook pursed her lips.

, squinting her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable; Liu Huiyuan screwed up her face and didn't think this tasted good at all, but Liu Yifu guessed that she was afraid of having a bad stomach, so she drank the cleanest one...

Liu Yifu took everyone's reaction into consideration and nodded, indicating that there was no surprise. Among them, Wei Wen felt that this tea was simply the most delicious in the world. Wei Yu and Mu Nianyuan thought it was pretty good when asked.
