Xiao Qian: tea in the United Kingdom "TITLE =" [tea tea] Xiao Qian: tea in the United Kingdom "/> northerners often say, delicious as dumplings, comfortable than lying. United Kingdom people in life's enjoyment, is in the morning before leaning pillow drink a cup of hot tea. 40 years in the United Kingdom to a friend's House for the weekend, in bed, master sometimes ask: morning don't give you a cup of tea then go?, I have a friend in Australia – the famous tenor Nelson · Yi ling Watts. After retirement, he in Stein's town, bought a house near the River Thames in the Villa. His life has two main hobby: a swimming and drinking tea. Swimming: River in his window. In order to open it in the morning a drink hot tea, he was in bed with a tea set, wall mounting a socket. Every night before bed, he always in small teapot put the right amount of tea, small electric pot placed on water. An open eyes, just plug in the power, in an instant is brewing tea. He is very proud of this equipment. He is always on the side while sipping, sings what aria. From the "war" of rationing, most can see tea in the United Kingdom and the importance of human life. United Kingdom has always relied on a huge Empire, the life materials largely brought into the fleet. Declaration of war in September 1939, Nazi submarine rampant United Kingdom merchant shipping at sea to take great risks, often by torpedoes. Therefore, only the absolute necessities only prospective transport (the first six years, I have not seen a banana). However, in such a difficult situation, the residents of the monthly distribution also includes a pack of tea. In France, where the coffee is equivalent to the United Kingdom tea. There's wartime rationing varieties, short not coffee. In 1944 after the liberation of Paris, my brother in money can welcome home to drink a coffee in the "war", it is difficult to swallow. It is used with rubber seed ground into however of! when the United Kingdom Government to the public not the elm leaf, but really in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), production of black tea. Just a little amount, monthly on the second of two per person only. Though I am a lifetime of Mongolian people, too is Han Chinese life. Arrived in England, I put in for tea with milk and sugar, it is not used. Tea tea meeting, hostess, always ask: "how many sugar?" at the beginning, I always say: "no, thanks. "But I soon discovered that drinking Ceylon black tea, sugar and milk. Otherwise end up, the tea is deep purple, like chicken. Into mouth is bitter as eating were not ripe persimmons. Therefore, Ceylon tea is also known as the "dark". Those years for a cup of black tea (mostly "suckling pig"), you only have to go to Canton Chinese restaurant opened. As regards the Longjing, perfume-paper, it's just a dream, or to which the House looks like stopping by sinologist, occasionally can be tasted. That they could not drink green tea in peacetime. Question to the Oriental guests, from Cabinet of what pulled out in the corner. While sipping tea edge talk about Li Bai and BAI Ju-Yi. Suddenly, the fragrance of the tea unknowingly put people back to the Tang dynasty of China. As a social way, I think the tea parties not only to save than the banquet, affordable and elegant. First is the atmosphere. Friends, mainly as a friendly old, talk, exchange of views. Sit down dinner, full table wine delicacies often overwhelming. Especially for fish, for fear of small thorns in the throat, can only be countersunk chew swallow. This is, if only a formality, and the master should, not careful, it's important consequences! I have repeatedly at the party experienced a want to set up earlier, and are also great to talk with, unfortunately the table wine, steaming, even your neighbor, do not talk about it. If the middle and then after a few people, in addition to frequent mutual toast, but a friendly feelings, really talk about a few words. I am particularly afraid to make wine out of dinner: a dozen clearance said, swing up websites that make dinner become drunk. Tea is not. Went to the tea without countersink big snack or a cup of cow drink, conversation becomes the Active Center. Hosted a tea party really is a clever art can introduce topics of common interests, and not let loose in a topic to your desktop. To be a problem when you talk about, the owner will be very cleverly converted to another it is relevant and not to a world of words for infants, from beginning to farm maintained a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Tea ceremony is finished, everyone seemed to have a bit more clever, mutual seems to have become more transparent. In tea meeting, to be able to demonstrate wit and taboo preaching showing off. The tea party is best able to learn Beaux, also is excellent training for diplomats. United Kingdom, who went to the tea party is a most interesting implication of posts. Typically, only wrote: Mr. so-and-so cum wife will to a certain date at a when at home neither annotated "waiting", without mentioning the tea party. Bernard Shaw once had a joke. When he received such an invitation, he returned with a postcard, written: and his wife George Bernard Shaw will to a certain date at a when at home in the United Kingdom Tea Council have a requirement: bread snacks can take, but it always by the hostess Teapot master (as host of the fireplace has the exclusive right to use). Pay attention, in addition to the teapot, also available in a pot of boiling water. The hostess to each guest tea, to ask the "thick or thin." As for the latter, she covered in tea, dot the boiling water, sugar, it first before you ask: "how you want to?" in the beginning, I felt the overzealous. Everyone knows it contains most of the guests. I went to the United Kingdom is also often a very affordable tea party, called "high tea". Actually the tea together with dinner. Tea is served at the four points to generally begins, high tea at five more. Initially, on the desk and tea, to six, it will end on some cold meat or fried. Guests of the original block is not moving, talking non-stop. I say high tea "very affordable" not only refers to eat like many large, more is the continuous four or five hours together, and they can soar to foot chat. Tea is a Cambridge University-student and student exchanges between major occasions, you can even say that it is a teaching method, each student has their own tutor。 When my mentor is wearing di · Swiss brands, he often about I went to his apartment with tea. Our tearoom, aside from the discussion · Virginia Woolf or David · El · Lawrence. Those years, in addition to students, mutual, tea from time to time, I also visited some of the professors of the tea party. Including economics guru Kai vines of height, the Robinson and were studying the Chinese history of Joseph Needham, and 20 's to the Chinese science of Russell said. In such event, you often encounter the other professors. They write down my college, also to a friend. Interpersonal relationship just opened up. However at that time, sugar and tea of rationing, each human of each month is just a little bit, but also hosted a tea party ? here show two United Kingdom nationality. One is tenacious: despite the four lost his bomb, tea party, Corps font size just held not to miss, as it is located in Central London Museum of national painting also held as usual in the bombing of the "lunch concert". This is mentally strong enough to withstand Hitler. On the other hand is interpersonal relationships in pursuit of justice. Each tea and sugar rationing since less so poor, went to the tea party guests were mostly from our own rations in pinch out a tea and a little sugar, package, walked into the living room, a greeting, a composed himself brought about by the small bag on the table. The hostess will look at a glance, smiled and said: "you really bother !" on China's contribution to the world, often cited is that of gunpowder and paper. However, in the history of Western and Central AC, tea should occupy its place.
