Chapter 699 Extra: Li Xiangyi is No. 1 in the World (11)
After the rain, the whole yard is filled with fragrant lotus flowers, and the sunken plums and floating melons are as cool as ice and snow.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun becomes hotter day by day, and the hot breath of midsummer blows in our faces.
On this day, Su Qianxue saw that the lotus flowers in the lake were in full bloom. She was in high spirits and took the two brothers Su Ci and Li Xiangxian to go boating on the lake to appreciate the lotus flowers.
While admiring the lotus flowers, she taught her three children how to make and drink tea.
She took out the small gauze bag that she had put in the lotus flower yesterday and poured out the tea leaves inside.
"Yesterday I saw the lotus flowers were in full bloom, so I thought of making some lotus tea for you to try. You are in for a treat today."
The production method of lotus tea is recorded in Gu Yuanqing's "Tea Book" in the Ming Dynasty and Shen Fu's "Six Records of a Floating Life" in the Qing Dynasty.
Su Qianxue took some silver needles and put them into a small gauze bag. Then she found a half-open lotus flower at night, opened the flower center, put the small gauze bag in it, then closed the petals with her hands and tied it up with a silk thread.
After leaving it overnight, take out the small gauze bag and brew the Baihao Silver Needle tea with mountain spring water. The fragrance of tea and lotus is intertwined, the aroma is endless and the flavor is particularly good.
Su Ci and Li Xiangyi were seeing these things for the first time and found them very interesting. Li Xiangxian had learned a little bit but he also studied very seriously.
"Most common people indulge in wine, but who knows how to enhance the fragrance of tea?"
Su Ci pretended to take a sip of tea, then shook his head and chanted a poem, closing his eyes as if immersed in a leisurely state.
Li Xiangxian found it funny. He raised his teacup to cover the corners of his lips and counted one, two, three in his mind.
really……
"Hey, teacher, why did you hit me?"
Su Ci touched the back of his head where he was slapped and felt unhappy.
Su Qianxue glanced at her and said, "You are showing off in front of me. Who else should I hit if not you? Also, who do you say is a vulgar person?"
Although she doesn't like drinking, she will have a few drinks when she is in the mood.
Su Ci also reacted and said with a smile: "I, I am a vulgar person. The teacher is a romantic and elegant scholar, how can he be a vulgar person? It is impossible."
Su Qianxue snorted, too lazy to argue with her.
Li Xiangyi held his small teacup, looked at this and that, and took a sip silently.
Mm, it smells nice and tastes great.
When I go back, I will bring some lotus flowers and make lotus tea for my parents to drink.
Su Ci: "Xiang Xian, Senior Qi should be here in a few days, right? Have you prepared your things?"
Calculating the time, eight or nine days have passed since Qimushan wrote to say that he would arrive late, and he is almost there.
Li Xiangxian nodded, "Everything is ready. My father said that he would discuss it with Senior Qi and ask him if he is willing to teach us at home. If not, I will go to Yunyin Mountain first, and he will send Xiangyi over after Xiangyi's fifth birthday."
Su Ci glanced at the little kid and said nothing.
Li Xiangyi pouted a little unhappy.
Seeing this, Su Qianxue scratched his little nose and teased, "Xiao Xiangyi, your mouth is so pouty that you can hang an oil bottle on it."
Li Xiangyi said seriously: "It won't hang on, it will fall down."
"Hahaha~"
The three of them laughed when they heard this.
Su Ci: "Oh, our baby Xiangyi is still so cute."
Although it was not the first time that Li Xiangyi heard Su Ci call him "baby", he still felt shy.
Hey, my sister called me baby~
And said I was cute~
Happy??(ˊwˋ*)??
He scratched his blushing face, glanced at Su Ci, and emphasized seriously: "Sister, I am a man, you can't call me baby."
If he could restrain the happy expression on his face when he said this, perhaps his words would be more persuasive.
Li Xiangxian agreed, "Yes, our Xiangyi has grown up, and it is indeed not appropriate to call him baby anymore."
Su Ci nodded seriously, "Okay, in that case, I won't call you Xiangyi baby anymore."
When Li Xiangyi saw Su Ci agreed, he felt a little regretful. He thought that it was not impossible for him to agree to let you call me baby against your will.
Anyway, I am still young, so it’s okay to call you baby. I can change the name when I grow up.
But think about it, I was the one who said the rejection, and now I regret it, wouldn’t that be bad?
Li Xiangxian was very happy when he saw his younger brother's conflicted look.
Hey, you should tease your younger brother as early as possible, because when he gets older, it might not be so fun anymore.
Li Xiangxian and Su Ci looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Su Qianxue sipped her tea and watched the two of them playing with each other with a smile on her face. She felt that such a leisurely life was really nice.
