There is a case!

Chen Mo could see at a glance that Aunt Peng's expression was a little wrong, and then looked at the eyes of the old couple looking at each other.

Oh my drip!

Just when Chen Mo's goosebumps were the size of steamed buns, Aunt Peng had already gently tasted a sip of earl grey tea.

"How's it going?" Uncle Zhang stepped forward and asked.

"It's delicious!" Aunt Peng replied without any thought.

"Is that the smell?"

"That's the smell. ”

The old couple's questions and answers made Chen Mo, who looked confused, anxious.

"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Peng, what the hell is going on, I don't seem to understand what you're talking about?" Chen Mo's curiosity was aroused again.

"Zi~~" Aunt Peng closed her eyes, intoxicated by the strong fragrance of Earl Grey tea, as if she hadn't heard Chen Mo's words.

Uncle Zhang smiled, and then replied: "That's the case, this Earl Grey tea, a long time ago, tastes quite authentic." ”

"Yo, I can't see it, Uncle Zhang, do you still know how to taste this foreign tea?" said the mustache with a sullen smile.

"Hey, don't interrupt if you don't understand. Uncle Zhang glared at the mustache, and the other party hurriedly lowered his head to show weakness.

In front of the veterans of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, who dares to make a mistake?

"Speaking of the past, Earl Grey tea, ordinary people couldn't drink it, but your Aunt Peng often drank it when she was at home, and then followed me and lived a hard life, so I didn't drink this Earl Grey tea much. ”

Everyone knows that before Aunt Peng was with Uncle Zhang, she was a young lady from a rich family, and later came out with Uncle Zhang because of love, and finally won the approval of her family.

"If you want to say that the taste of Earl Grey tea at that time, it can be sweet, thick and mellow, which is like the current Earl Grey tea, either it is thin or it is brewed with tea bags, it is not that taste at all, and the current Earl Grey tea, almost all of them are made of oranges, and there is no authentic Xiao Chen at all. Authentic Earl Grey tea, which uses bergamot as the main ingredient. ”

"It's so mysterious, is it really fake?" said the mustache who likes to dig into the roots.

"Of course it's true, how could I tell a lie?" Uncle Zhang didn't allow anyone to doubt himself.

Chen Mo joined the topic and asked, "Uncle Zhang, so you have drunk it before?"

According to Uncle Zhang's words, his family background should be quite bad, but how can he drink Earl Grey tea in that era of scarcity?

Uncle Zhang was about to speak, but was stopped by Aunt Peng.

Aunt Peng, who had already drunk most of the cup of Earl Grey tea, said: "I have to count down your Uncle Zhang, at that time, it would be good to be able to eat a full meal, but one day your Uncle Zhang didn't know where to hear that someone had two cans of Earl Grey tea, so he didn't discuss with me, and took a lot of food stamps to find someone to exchange a can back, but it made me angry." ”

Hearing Aunt Peng say this, Uncle Zhang immediately straightened his chest, his waist stiffened, and said: "That's not because you like to drink Earl Grey tea, since you followed me, you haven't let you live a good life, I finally heard that someone has this Earl Grey tea in his hand, I immediately went to change it for you, which makes you angry." ”

Aunt Peng glanced at Uncle Zhang, but with a happy smile on her face, she said to Chen Mo: "Aren't you angry, for this unfilling can of Earl Grey tea, you and Uncle Zhang were hungry for half a month before we could renew the food stamps." ”

Although the old couple seemed to be complaining to each other, Chen Mo found that the other party was obviously constantly sprinkling something...

"Didn't you starve to death, and besides, weren't you very happy when you drank Earl Grey tea again? I'll ask you, is it fragrant, sweet or not, authentic or not?"

Aunt Peng nodded and whispered back: "It's quite authentic..."

"That's fine!" Uncle Zhang laughed, as if he had won in the end.

"Uncle Zhang, you always say authentic, authentic or something, how do you know whether it is authentic or not, who told you that there must be bergamot in this British earl grey tea?"

"If you don't understand, you want to interject. Let me tell you, this Earl Grey tea was not first produced in England at all, but originated in China!"

Uncle Zhang's words were loud, making the mustache full of surprise.

Chen Mo originally thought that this Earl Grey tea originated in England, but the system provided this drink, indicating that the system also thought that Earl Grey tea was a Chinese drink, and Uncle Zhang also said so, so Chen Mo couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Zhang, you can tell us why this Earl Grey tea is produced in our China, the word Earl seems to be a foreign word." ”

Chen Mo's question was immediately supported by everyone.

"That's right, Uncle Zhang, just tell us all. ”

Uncle Zhang saw that everyone was very interested in the history of Earl Grey tea, so he rolled up his sleeves and told everyone around about the origin of this Earl Grey tea.

......

From 1830 to 1834, it was Earl Grey II who became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

At that time, Gray sent a diplomatic envoy to China to consult with China on trade issues.

By chance, the diplomatic envoy saved the son of a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty at the time.

At that time, the son of this big official was swimming in the river, who knew that he suddenly cramped, and he was about to sink, and this scene happened to be seen by a passing diplomatic envoy, who hurriedly jumped into the water to save the person.

Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!

Because of this, the official gave many gifts to the diplomatic envoys as a token of gratitude, and also gave the envoy a particularly good-tasting tea and recipe as a gift to the Earl of Grey when he returned to England.

Gray liked the tea made from this recipe and tea leaves so much that he always asked his tea merchant to make it for him.

Later, the Earl's family allowed the tea to be sold publicly, and Earl Grey got its name and gradually became popular.

So, although the name of Earl Grey tea looks British, it is 100% Chinese on the inside!

In this recipe, there is a very rare bergamot.

......

After listening to Uncle Zhang's story, everyone was emotional.

Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Uncle Zhang with admiration, he didn't expect this old man to know this kind of history.

Uncle Zhang's words corroborated each other with the system's giving, which made Chen Mo believe that this Earl Grey tea did originate from China.

This kind of history is not the same thing as a certain country's nonsense that Qu Yuan is a person from their country.

After listening to Uncle Zhang's words, Chen Mo found that there were more people queuing up to buy Earl Grey tea.
