Chapter 88

People in the Zhou Dynasty drank tea, which was similar to the current Japanese tea ceremony, although the procedure was more complicated.

The tea leaves are not whole, but finely ground, just like the modern "Matcha".

The whole process is divided into baking tea, grinding tea, grinding tea, filling water, sifting tea powder, sweeping tea powder, holding tea cup, filling tea soup, pouring water to order tea, ordering tea and whisking, etc.

So if people don’t understand, just imagine what it’s like to beat eggs in your family. Hey, the tea ceremony in the Song Dynasty is similar.

It is to pour the tea powder into a bowl, and then use a kind of thin bamboo, which looks like the bamboo brush used to brush the pot now, and the tool called "tea whisk" keeps stirring.

This "beating egg" is beaten halfway, stop and add some hot water to continue beating, and repeat this several times until layers of bubbles appear, which is called "yunji" by Dazhou people, and the tea is considered finished. It's ready to drink.

And this foam, the more the better, if it is less, it means that your craftsmanship is not good, and the tea you drink is not fragrant.

But for Chen Buer, who is a traveler, what's so good about this kind of tea?The bubbles and tea froth in the mouth do not have the fragrance of Longjing, nor the mellowness of Keemun red.

So Chen Buer seldom went to teahouses, even if he went to teahouses, he would order their drinks at the same time.

Yinzi is also a drink, like sour plum soup in summer.

Chai Zijin didn't know about Chen Buer's habits, so he politely asked Dr. Tea to come up to order tea, and then politely distributed it to Chen Buer and Shui Ling.

What else can Chen Buer do?Did you tell him that he only drank Coke and Sprite?Want it chilled?
Of course, he had to bite the bullet and drank all the tea in the cup, and he had to politely say: "Well, good tea, I would like to give you a thumbs up!"

"Brother Chai, why are you alone, oh no, are there two people watching the Lantern Festival in this teahouse? It's so lively down here, you should go out for a walk."

When Chai Zijin heard Chen Buer's kind proposal, he smiled awkwardly, with a trace of pain in his eyes, and quickly changed the topic:

"By the way, what happened to that little lady last time? I'm afraid she will be sold by her father after she goes back. She is also a poor person."

"You mean Wang Liang'er? You thought of it, and I thought of it too, so I bought her later, and now I'm working as a maidservant in my yard. Since I saved her life, it's also a fate, and I can't see her dancing again." There's a fire pit."

"It's so good. Brother Chen really has a kind heart. After Miss Shui Ling follows Brother Chen, the husband and wife will be harmonious in the future, and they can enjoy happiness."

After finishing speaking, Chai Zijin blinked at Chen Buer.

When he saw Shui Ling's hairstyle, he knew that she was a young girl who hadn't left the court, so he was going to say something nice to Chen Bu'er.

Chen Buer was delighted when he heard it: "That's right, if you follow me, you will have enough rice in the future, and you will be able to eat every day."

Hehehe, several people laughed lightly.

After some conversations, Chen Buer and Chai Zijin became more and more familiar, and they stopped talking, and the two burst out laughing from time to time.

Chai Zijin also felt that Chen Buer was completely different from other pedantic students in Taixue, with many insights and opinions unique, so the two of them chatted more and more, and wished they could kneel down and worship each other immediately.

The few people chatted for a long time, until Zishi, the street was still very lively, the night market of the Great Zhou Dynasty would not end until 3 o'clock in the morning.

But there was a Shuiling next to him, so Chen Buer had to bid farewell to Chai Zijin. There are no WeChat appointments these days, and the next meeting will only be by chance.

In the middle of the night, the air in Bianliang was still filled with the sulfurous smell of fireworks.

Chen Buer and Shui Ling walked quietly among the crowd.

"Seventh Young Master, I am very happy today, thank you."

When Chen Buer heard this, his heart was so full of spring, he immediately took Shui Ling's hand and held it tightly, just not wanting her to escape.

"Look, it's so late now, your dormitory, oh no, your Baihua Building should have been locked and closed, or we won't go back, just find a place to stay for one night, don't worry, I will never Move your hands."

Shui Ling gave Chen Buer a blank look: "Seventh Young Master, Baihualou will not close until Yinshi."

"Ah, is that so? Hahaha, then I have to tell Mother Fan that if the door is not closed at such a late hour, what if a pervert breaks in."

The thin man beside him chuckled: "Master, isn't the brothel just waiting for the wolves to break in, so that they can have business."

After speaking, both the fat man and the thin man laughed wickedly.

Chen Bu'er waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, what do little brats know?"

He is depressed, why is it so difficult to trick a girl into opening a room?

Although Shui Ling fell in love with Chen Bu'er, she wasn't a real brothel girl, she just stayed outside with men casually?

Her own mother, that old bustard, Mama Fan, forced her into prostitution all day long, but she was still very strict with her daughter. She always asked her to clean herself up.

So tonight is destined to make Chen Buer unable to get his wish.

This night, Chen Buer's uncle, Chen Jinsong and Chen Taiyi were also unable to get his wish.

At this time, he was kneeling in Funing Hall, his whole body was like falling into an ice cave, his head was buzzing.

In Gong's room not far away, the official's diarrhea could not be stopped. In the quiet Funing Palace, the sound of the official's continuous spraying of stool on the toilet was heard at this moment.

If the sound was normal, everyone would have to cover their noses.

But this night, no one dared to cover, no one dared to move, everyone's face was full of anxiety, as if the sky was about to collapse.

Emperor Yuan Jing had completely collapsed at this time, he had no strength in his whole body, and he couldn't even sit on the toilet. The whole person was supported by Empress Yang and the chief eunuch Li Hu.

Even with the support, Empress Yang could still feel that the official's body was very hot, and the two medicines she had just taken seemed to have no effect at all.

The anxiety and dissatisfaction in her heart became more and more intense.

At this time, a young eunuch hurriedly came to report: "Report to the official family, and report to the empress, Cheng Guogong is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Hmph, he came so fast, I guess he was hoping that the official's health would get better so that he could succeed him as the emperor, right? Let him go, don't guard him, just say that the official's family is fine, and he will be summoned if there is something to do."

As soon as Empress Yang said this, everyone trembled. These words did not save any empathy, and it also showed how bad the empress was in her mood at this time.

The little eunuch hurriedly left to answer.

"Physician Chen, the government has been taking your prescription for three hours, and now not only the fever has not subsided, but the diarrhea has not stopped. You, can your prescription work?"

Chen Jinsong knelt outside, feeling ashamed.

Because he knew that if it was effective, it should be effective within an hour. Now more than two hours have passed, which means that he made a major mistake in his treatment.
