461 Stay and eat
The so-called 85 kinds are actually made by the Huaxia Tea Research Institute.
Historically, the Huaxia Tea Research Institute has done more than one time to 'transplant' Dahongpao, and it has been done in 62 and 64 years, but the effect is average, and it has not attracted anyone's attention.
In 85, this time it was a huge project, and on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Tea Research Institute, five big red robes were secretly brought back.
At that time, even the above was concealed, quietly planted in the 'Imperial Tea Garden', these five Da Hong Pao are relatively successful in transplanting, even if they are not as good as the first generation of Da Hong Pao Tree, but also much stronger than those 'second generation' and 'third generation', after all, there is a group of experts who serve like a master, and it is strange that it is not successful.
The so-called landlord's family also has no surplus grain, and the mother tree Da Hong Pao that can be distributed every year by the status of the merchant is also very limited, and it can not be supported at the end of the year, and it is generally supported by the sub-tree Da Hong Pao in this season, which naturally includes some 85 species.
The reason why he was surprised was because he firmly believed that these 85 kinds of tea were also exclusively for good tea, and it was impossible for them to flow to the market, but Zhou Dong could drink them in one sip, which was a bit magical.
"Xiao Zhou, your tongue is so powerful, you can still drink 85 kinds?"
Shang Lao smiled: "Tell me, how did you drink it?"
"Well, it's actually very simple, and it's nothing to say. ”
Zhou Dong gently put down the Sancai cup and said: "In our business, how to cook will not be talked about for the time being, if you don't have a sensitive tongue, then what kind of chef is you? Because you can't eat well or badly, let alone cook it for guests."
Don't be afraid of the old man's jokes, eating, drinking and having fun, the chef may not account for everything, but the effort in eating and drinking is generally not bad......
Let's just say that your 85 kinds of Da Hong Pao, originally it is a tea species in the south, even if it can survive in the north, the taste of the final will change slightly, after all, the water in this place in Kyoto is heavy, the air is dry, Da Hong Pao will inevitably be less mellow, more vigorous, in the words of the north, it is more 'brush mouth', the effect of greasy is actually better than the mother tree Da Hong Pao, to be honest, it is more suitable for the elderly to drink.
However, the taste is a little different, and when you encounter a heavy mouth, it is better to simply drink a stronger jasmine tea. ”
Shang Lao frowned and said, "I said how did they get me this tea, it turned out to be suitable for the elderly?
Disobedience to the old is a common disease of people, and Shang Lao is naturally no exception, and he is naturally a little unhappy when he hears Zhou Dong say this.
"It's not entirely for this reason, after all, there are too few mother tree big red robes, and the first generation of child tree big red robes are limited in number, and most of them have to be put into the market, as for those of the second and third generations, the relative control is not enough, who dares to give it to Shang Lao you to drink?
Therefore, these 85 kinds of Huaxia Tea Research Institute are more suitable, and they are personally taken care of by experts, and they also use the groundwater of the old site of Yuquan Mountain, and often water the land near the tea trees, so these 85 kinds are also very expensive, in fact, they are not inferior to those first generations. ”
Zhou Dong hurriedly explained, seeing that he couldn't let Shang Lao have an opinion on some of the people below because of his words, wouldn't he be harmful?
"Hehe, you're right, in fact, to be honest, I'm drinking about the same, it's a little worse, but I really don't feel what you said. ”
Shang Lao also laughed when he heard this, this young man was really kind.
"If you don't pay special attention, you can't taste much difference, I remind Shang Lao that the first bite of the mother tree Da Hong Pao is extraordinarily mellow, and the orchid fragrance is simply going to sink into the depths of the body, and the aftertaste is long and sweet.
This first mouthful, whether it is the first generation of subtrees or 85 species, is incomparable, but when it comes to the second mouthful, the third mouthful...... Then there is basically no difference, old man, do you think about it?"
"Hehe, it seems to be true when you say that!"
Shang Lao recalled for a moment and nodded again and again.
"In fact, tea is like this, as long as the quality of the tea is not too different, it is actually the difference between the first sip. For example, how much stronger can the dragon well before the Ming Dynasty be than before the rain? That is, the difference between one mouth, or even the first half of the mouth!"
Zhou Dong said with a smile: "In addition to this first sip, if you drink three bubbles, the last sip will be a little different, Shang Lao recalled, is the third bubble of these 85 kinds missing a sweet aftertaste? This is because the water quality in the north and south is different, there will be such a subtle difference."
In addition to these two points, you always drink these 85 kinds of mother tree big red robes, then there is no problem, in fact, there is really not much difference......"
"It's not like you've drunk it, it's just a sip. ”
Shang Lao looked at Zhou Dong and laughed: "No wonder you, a young man, in addition to the King of Zhou Mian and the God of Zhou Wine, also have a nickname called 'Zhou Poisonous Tongue', I didn't believe it at first, but I tried it with this cup of 85 kinds of big red robes." Xiao Zhou, with your powerful tongue, I have the bottom in my heart......"
"You even know Zhou's poisonous tongue?"
Zhou Dong was taken aback when he heard this, his name of Zhou's poisonous tongue actually didn't exist for a long time, and it was obtained when he was diligent in 'poisoning' Chu Du after he got the tasting skill, but then he didn't go to the calamity again, and no one called him, but he didn't want to even be known by Shang Lao.
But it's normal to think about it, it's too easy to know the details of a person as a merchant elder, let alone a diligent young grandmaster like him.
But Shang Lao said that he had a bottom in his heart, he really couldn't understand, and although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask.
"Xiao Zhou, are you still used to living here in Kyoto? If there is anything that is not adaptable, just say it as soon as possible, the doctor next to me is quite smart......
Soon someone sent a few small snacks, and the old man chatted with Zhou Dong while drinking tea and eating snacks, and finally even asked about his parents, as well as the courtyard built in Sister Valley, etc., Zhou Dong gradually forgot the identity of this old man, and felt like a chattering old man who had retired from the neighborhood.
Unconsciously it was already more than 10 o'clock, Shang Lao looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, Xiao Zhou will stay here to eat at noon today, right?"
"Hey, then thank you Mr. Shang, I'll eat here......"
Shang Lao is also first-class in eloquence, and he is very kind, so he made Zhou Dong completely forget his identity when chatting, so he responded casually.
"Haha, that's great, you also know the chef here, it's Huang Sixia, but since Xiao Zhou, you can't be idle, you have to show a few hands." ”
Shang Lao smiled and said, "That's it, let's make today's lunch together with the two of you, let me, an old man, also taste your good craftsmanship, otherwise I will go for two days in a row to eat a tempura, which will not work." ”
"I ...... Hey, it's up to you. ”
Zhou Dong couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and said in his heart, "Are you always waiting for me here?" This is good, I, as a guest, have to be responsible for cooking......
