Chapter 462: Governing a big country is like cooking small fish
"After packaging, it can be delivered to thousands of households."
Bai Yuyueque said as he put the ground tea leaves into the tea bowl:
"After several processes like this, you also need good water, good utensils, good fire, a quiet environment, soothing emotions, and the right people. Only then can you taste the most delicious tea in the world."
When the water boils, it is just boiling water.1
Bai Yuyue poured water into the cup and warmed it, his movements were soothing and generous:
"A cup of tea contains a lot of people's hard work and energy. When making tea, there is no mistake at all. It is as delicate as carving beautiful jade."
"It's just like governing a country. The ancients said: 'Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies.' This is exactly what it says."
While talking, Bai Yuyue had already brewed the tea and brought a cup of steaming tea to Cang Xilin:
"Your Majesty, please drink this cup of tea from this slave and have a good rest. Then, deal with state affairs with a hundredfold energy."
Bai Yuyue said something, and Cang Xilin nodded.
Seeing her bringing a cup of hot tea, he quickly took it.
After blowing it hurriedly, Cang Xilin couldn't wait to put it to her mouth and drink it.
Bai Yuyueque said quickly: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
Cang Xilin also stopped her gesture and heard her say again:
"The ancients drank tea by observing its color, smelling its fragrance, and then appreciating its taste."
Cang Xilin looked at the soup calmly, and then gently shook the tea cup to let the aroma escape better.
After that, he took a sip.
Savor it carefully, it is full of aroma, mellow taste, and slightly bitter.
He smiled and said: "Sure enough, after roasting, it is different from usual."
1. As early as the Tang Dynasty, great attention was paid to the temperature control of water. The boiling degree of water during the tea-making period was divided into three boiling levels.
The first boiling: when the water looks like fish eyes and makes a slight sound. The second boiling: when the edges are like springs with beads. The third boiling: when the water is like rushing waves, making waves. Different teas require different water temperatures.
Guzhu Purple Bamboo Shoot is green tea, which is usually brewed with boiling water, which is about 70 or 80 degrees.
