Chapter 33 Drinking Herbal Tea and Learning Kung Fu

In Guan Xiaojun's memory, from childhood to adulthood, his sister Guan Yang is a very strong person, no matter when, she has never admitted defeat, and she is also very "feminist", she has always loved Guan Xiaojun's younger brother, and has helped Guan Xiaojun a lot in life, even Guan Xiaojun's daughter-in-law is Guan Yang's matchmaker.

If there is an award for "Top Ten Good Sisters" in the world, Guan Xiaojun feels that his sister should be qualified to participate in such a selection.

Seeing Guan Yang say that he wanted to follow Guan Zizai to learn martial arts, Guan Xiaojun felt that this was Guan Yang's normal reaction after his initial surprise.

After being caught as a hostage yesterday and scared once, how could an ordinary little girl not be able to survive for three or five days, but for Guan Yang, who has been strong in his heart since he was a child, after the initial fright, anger and shame followed.

I was angry that I was too stupid, and under the reminders of my mother and younger brother, I didn't know how to close the door to prevent thieves, and I was caught by my hair in a daze, and it still hurts.

She was ashamed after she was angry, she didn't expect that she was caught, and it was her younger brother Guan Xiaojun who saved her in the end.

This is in Guan Yang's little heart, she feels very faceless, she tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, feeling that the reason why she was easily arrested was that she didn't know kung fu and reacted too slowly, if she reacted quickly and kung fu, she would definitely not be caught, even if she was caught, she could find a way to break free, so it would be good if she knew kung fu!

Guan Xiaojun looked at the young sister in front of him and found that even though she was still young at this time, she already had a trace of the "big sister" style of adulthood.

Guan Xiaojun glanced at her and quickly got up from the bed, "Let's go to the grandfather now and let him teach you too!"

The two came to Guan Zi's house, and found that Guan Zizai was holding a broken pu fan in the yard and fanning the stove mouth of a red clay stove with great interest, and there was a big copper kettle with a big belly squatting on the stove, and the flames under the butt of the copper kettle were rushing upward, and the sound of splashing water was coming from inside, and white steam continued to come out of the mouth.

White steam fills the air, revealing the smell of tea.

Guan Xiaojun looked curious, "Master, what are you doing here?"

Guan Zizai stood up and handed the broken pu fan to Guan Xiaojun, "I've been on fire lately, I'll get some herbal tea to drink, na, you come to help me fan for a while, Yangyang is also here?"

Guan Xiaojun took the pu fan handed over by Guan Zizai, squatted on the ground and fanned the stove a few times, and raised his eyes to look at Guan Zizai: "Master, do you still make herbal tea?"

Guan Zizai stroked his beard and smiled: "What is this? Don't talk about this herbal tea, I will also make bruise medicine, and what kind of bone strengthening plaster, what kind of projectile plaster powder, there are so many here!"

Guan Xiaojun showed a look of disbelief, "I don't believe it! If you know this, why haven't I seen you do it before?"

Guan Zizai blew his beard and glared: "Hey, you little rabbit cub! Master, I'm not a doctor, why should I make these useless things? Boiling plasters and making pill powder is very troublesome, why should I do that?"

He bent down and patted Guan Xiaojun on the head, "Fan it well, this herbal tea recipe is written, first have to boil on high heat for a moment, and then turn to low heat and cook for half an hour, well, it's an hour, when it's cold and filtered out, that's herbal tea!"

When he said this, his tongue was full of relish, and he couldn't help but suck his saliva, and said: "This herbal tea is bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste is sweet and silky, much stronger than any sorbet, popsicle and cola orange water!"

Guan Xiaojun asked, "Then in that case, why haven't I seen you cook it before?"

"How do you know I haven't cooked it? You just haven't drunk it!"

Guan Zizai said with a smile: "I have to buy a lot of accessories to make this pot of tea, and it takes time and energy, and I don't drink enough myself, so I haven't passed it on, hehe, you two dolls are lucky today, even if you have a mouth, one person can pour a bottle back today!"

Guan Xiaojun said curiously: "What is boiling in this copper kettle?"

Guan Zizai said: "There are licorice, fat sea, black tea, prunella grass, and some ...... Hey, why am I telling you this, you don't understand!"

Guan Xiaojun still knew a lot about some health herbs in his previous life, in fact, as long as people are middle-aged, they naturally begin to pay attention to fitness and health care medicinal materials, and he has also made herbal tea himself according to the prescription on the Internet, so he does not feel unfamiliar when he hears the name of the herb reported by Guan Zizai.

In later generations, these herbal tea-related herbs were easy to buy and were all over the streets, but now in the early eighties, it is difficult to buy some black tea!

Because Guandimiao Village is located in the plain, there are no tea trees, and there is no tea at all, so it is extremely troublesome to buy some tea. Tea leaves such as black tea and green tea are difficult to buy in rural market towns unless you go to the city to buy them.

But in the countryside at this time, who would run to the city just to have a sip of tea? Besides, with the income level at this time, they can't afford to drink good tea.

Now in the countryside to entertain guests, the brewed tea is some jasmine tea, but at this time the jasmine tea is a very scattered tea powder, basically there are no leaves, even after brewing, these tea leaves are also very small particles, the old Kyoto people call this tea "high crushed", in fact, it is the tea powder.

Guan Xiaojun had never seen good tea leaves before he went to junior high school, and it wasn't until he went to high school that he learned that some tea leaves would be flakes after being brewed instead of being scattered like rice grains.

In this era when the circulation of materials is difficult and basically nothing is abundant, Guan Zizai really takes a lot of effort and time to boil and drink it with a pot of herbal tea, and it is no wonder that he refuses to let outsiders drink it, because it is too difficult to do.

When Guan Xiaojun's hand was soft, Guan Zizi asked him to stop.

The old man fanned for a while, and then threw the broken fan aside, "Come, let's sit and wait for a while, Xiaojun, I made you a small gun here, you have to learn to shake the big gun with me in the next few days!"

When he said this, he took out a red tassel gun from the yard and handed it to Guan Xiaojun, "When you finish drinking tea, I'll teach you how to play!"

Guan Yang looked at Guan Xiaojun holding a red tassel gun, like a little hero of the red tassel gun in the movie, she couldn't be envious, she looked at Guan Zizi, "Master, I also want to learn kung fu from you!"

Guan Zizi was stunned for a moment, "What kind of kung fu do you girl doll learn?"

Guan Yang said softly but very firmly: "I don't want to be arrested anymore! I still want to protect my brother, I don't want my brother to protect me!"

Guan Zizai glanced at Guan Yang a few times, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's really like a sister! Tomorrow you and Xiaojun will come to me together!"

Guan Yang was overjoyed: "Thank you, grandpa!"

The three of them sat under Guan Zizi's flower shed and waited for a long time, Guan Zizi's large pot of herbal tea was considered to be boiled, and after filtering the dregs, it was cold, and when it was poured into the bowl, it became reddish-brown tea.

Guan Zizai picked up a bowl and said to Guan Xiaojun and Guan Yang: "Come, how about trying the herbal tea of the master?"

Guan Xiaojun brought it to his face, only to feel a strong herbal breath coming to his nose, mixed with a hint of sweet fragrance, and when he drank it in his mouth, he felt slightly bitter, but it was a little cool.

After swallowing, I felt a little bitter in my mouth at first, but after a while, when I inhaled and exhaled in my mouth, I felt a cool sweetness spread in my mouth, all the way to the stomach, and then spread to the whole body, up and down the body, even the sweat and eyes were a little cool.

Although it is autumn now, the weather is still hot, Guan Xiaojun just took a pu fan to fan the wind, and he sweated hotly.

Feeling the cool feeling in his body, Guan Xiaojun was greatly admired, "This herbal tea of the master is much better than Wang Laojike!
