Chapter 452 - 245 Joy Forgets Sichuan_3
The tea slipped into the mouth, sweet, full-bodied, refreshing, with an aftertaste that lingered long.
As they savored the tea in earnest, Qian Yixiu began brewing another pot. The third and fourth infusions were mixed in the tea cup and then poured into separate cups, served by Qian Yeejin.
After finishing the tea, everyone wore a look of pure bliss. It took them a while before they could express just how delicious it was. Golden honey peaches had just come to market this year, and although they were rare, aristocratic families like the Liang and Pan families would definitely have them. However, they were all somewhat puzzled as to why the tea they drank at home, though also exquisite, couldn’t match the tea they had just enjoyed.
Qian Yixiu laughed and said, "This tea was made with mountain spring water fetched by Monkey Brother from deep in the mountains, of course it’s different."
She then brewed the fifth and sixth infusions, followed by the seventh and eighth, with the tea’s flavor growing weaker and the water in the copper pot running out.
Seeing their eagerness to have more, Qian Yixiu laughed again, "There’s no more spring water from the deep mountains. If you want to continue drinking, we’ll have to use ordinary spring water."
Upon hearing this, the guests thought better of it, deciding to wait until there was more water from the deep mountains to enjoy more tea.
At this moment, the younger siblings saw that Prince Consort Pan’s anger had almost dissipated, his expression clearing slightly. Realizing that the three wanted to continue their discussion late into the night, they took their leave.
Before they left, Qian Yixiu presented the golden honey peaches. Prince Consort Pan and Old Duke Liang had already tasted this new fruit and were delighted to accept it with smiles.
