Chapter 124: Is Good Tea Wrong?
Xu Chen felt that Yang Xun's resentment against him at the moment was unreasonable!
Besides, even if you are angry, it should be your sister, right? You are too lenient as a brother, right?
"You ......" Yang Xun heard this, his anger just rose, and he suppressed it in an instant, and then said arrogantly: "It's okay! If you want to be an official, then come to our side, no matter what the official, let you speak!"
"This ...... You are too weak, but in the land of Sanzhou, the capital is not enough!" Xu Chen shook his head, his face full of reluctance.
"Besides, I'm a good citizen of Datang! Now that I'm an official, I'm naturally a good official! Don't you know, I've had a dream since I was a child, and I must be a good official when I grow up!"
Xu Chen's words are very decent, righteous and awe-inspiring, and Wang Bazhi's qi can be smelled from a few miles away.
It's just that, obviously Yang Xun opposite him is an illiterate person!
After hearing this, Yang Xun sneered: "Heh! I really don't see it! A good official? A good official can privately accumulate and strengthen his army? The money in a good official's house is more than ten times more than that in the imperial treasury?"
Xu Chen's old face is rarely red, even if he is familiar with you, he can't debunk it in front of you, right?
"Low-key, low-key!" Xu Chen picked up the teacup, trying to hide the rare trace of embarrassment on his face, but found that the tea inside had been cold for a long time.
For some reason, Xu Chen, who didn't like to drink tea very much, has been deeply fond of drinking tea since he came to this world, maybe it's just a memory of his original life.
After trying his best to make a copy of the tea, Xu Chen was still not satisfied, and then began to collect those famous teas all over the world according to his memory, you know, at the time when Xu Chen originally came, the special famous tea was something that money could not buy, but for Xu Chen today, these are not a thing!
What West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Lushan Yunwu and the like were almost all collected by Xu Chen. When he has nothing to do, Xu Chen likes to fiddle with the special tea set alone, not to mention, every time he cooks kung fu tea, Xu Chen can always have a rare moment of calm.
People who are good at tea are naturally tricky, and the tea that has been cold in the tea cup for half the night is of course difficult to swallow.
It just so happened that the young man guarding Xu Chen entered the camp tent with a pot of hot water that had just been boiled, and after Xu Chen took it, he took out a small bag of tea leaves, and said to Yang Xun like a treasure: "This is the best Mao Feng! I just picked it from the top of Huangshan this year, thanks to your blessing, Huangshan is full of fleeing people, and the people I sent to it only found such a little, even the teacher, I didn't give it, today you have a mouthful!"
Saying that, Xu Chen didn't care about Yang Xun's ugly face, and brewed it by himself.
"If you don't say you're lucky, the first choice for making tea is mountain spring water, followed by well water, and river rain again. Now it happens to be in the mountain, and there is just a mountain spring on the edge of the camp, and the Mao Feng on the top of the mountain naturally needs to use the spring water on the top of the mountain to make the fragrance of the tea more visible, this water is not in a barrel, but the brothers just came back from the mountain spring, and there is no dust along the way......"
Speaking of the Book of Tea, in this era when Lu Yu was just a little child, how could anyone compare to Xu Chen, who had read through the Book of Tea?
Yang Xun's face was not good, but for some reason he still listened patiently to Xu Chen's nagging, and when the fragrant tea was delivered to him, he also accompanied Xu Chen to drink a few cups.
"The tea leaves are brewed in the cup, the mist is topped, the soup color is clear and yellowish, the bottom of the leaves is yellow and green, the taste is mellow, the aroma is like orchid, and the charm is profound. ”
"It's really the top Mao Feng!"
Yang Xun just felt that this tea was a little fragrant after drinking, where could there be so much emotion from Xu Chen, and was about to complain, when he looked up, he saw Xu Chen's eyes glazed, holding a tea cup in his hand, staring behind him emptily.
Yang Xun was curious, and was about to look back, but unexpectedly, Xu Chen, who woke up from a daze, suddenly grabbed his arm and used very hard.
"You...... Where did you say that path leads?"
Seeing Xu Chen's anxious look, Yang Xun was angry: "Don't you want to leave?
"Don't make a fuss! Say it quickly! Where does that road lead? You said it again just now, and I forgot about it for a while! Say it again!" Xu Chen anxiously grabbed Yang Xun and kept asking.
Yang Xun's arms that had practiced martial arts were all grabbed by Xu Chen, and facing Xu Chen's red eyes, Yang Xun felt that if he didn't say anything more, it was estimated that the other party might go crazy.
"That path leads to Tianxin Rock in the south!" Yang Xun struggled to break free of Xu Chen's hand and said angrily.
"Tianxin Rock, there's a canyon called Nine Dragons, right?" Xu Chen's face showed urgency again!
Yang Xun said impatiently: "You just said behind your ears? Didn't I already say that after the Nine Dragons, there is Lingnan Road behind the mountain?"
"Of course there's a canyon called Jiulongyao!" Yang Xun became more and more impatient the more he spoke, he said so much about his feelings just now, and this guy didn't listen to a word!
However, at this moment, Xu Chen still has the heart to care about other things. At this moment, Xu Chen has fallen into a huge ecstasy!
"Hahahaha, I found it! I found it! I didn't expect the place name to be the same!"
"What did you find?" Yang Xun saw that Xu Chen, who had always been calm, jumped up happily, and was very curious about the excitement in the tent.
"What did you find? Haha, the big red robe! That's not an ordinary product, it's the best big red robe! It can't produce dozens of grams a year, it's all special for the central government, and outsiders can't buy it, and it's simply insulting to say that it's more expensive than gold! Compared with it, gold is not scum!"
The more Xu Chen spoke, the more excited he became, and he unconsciously said many strange words in front of Yang Xun.
"Big red robe, what is that?" Yang Xun wondered, what could make Xu Chen so out of shape.
"What is it? What else can it be, tea!" Xu Chen said excitedly: "Originally, I entered Wuyi Mountain, and I was allowed to send a few people to find it, but there are a lot of big red robe tea trees in this Wuyi Mountain, but there are only a few of the best big red robes, like looking for a needle in a haystack, where to find it? But I didn't think about it, the place name is the same! Now it's good, knowing the place, it's not difficult to find it!"
"Tea, I haven't heard of it!"
Of course Yang Xun has never heard of it, before Lu Yu's tea scripture came out, there were many people who drank tea in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't regard it as a cultural inheritance, and what was used to distinguish tea was just the origin and shape, where would there be so much attention?
Hearing this, the excited Xu Chen calmed down.
This big red robe first appeared in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, according to legend, when Ma Dajia was seriously ill, Zhu Chong searched for the world's good doctor eight times but to no avail. Later, a Fujian scholar offered a herb, saying that it was enough to take it. Zhu Chongba, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, asked the imperial doctors to check this herb, and after finding that it was non-toxic and harmless, he let Ma Dajia take it with the attitude of giving it a try.
Later, I don't know if it was really this grass that played a role, or if there was green smoke on the ancestral grave of this Fujian scholar, in short, after taking this so-called herb, Ma Dajiao's disease was really cured!
In this way, it can make the Fujian scholar happy!
Everyone on the earth knows that Zhu Chongba's love for Ma Dajia was a sincere feeling cultivated during the revolutionary years, and it was many times deeper than the love of ordinary emperors for their concubines! After Ma Dajia's death, Zhu Chongba did not establish a new queen in his life. And Ma Dajia, the queen of cloth, has been admired by the whole world, and Zhu Laosi later succeeded in rebellion, and he had to say with a clear conscience that Ma Dajia was his own mother, and he did not dare to correct his name for his own mother in his life.
To be able to save such a queen who is admired by the whole world, Fujian scholars can almost already see that high-ranking officials and famous people are beckoning to them! Moreover, the Fujian classmates are also carrying their heads and fighting for their own future, right? According to Zhu Chongba's character of killing stars, I don't know how many meritorious deeds of the Manchu Dynasty have killed, and the thin arms and legs of the Fujian classmates are not enough to kill Comrade Zhu!
What I didn't expect was that Ma Dajia deserved to be Ma Dajia, and the first thing he did after waking up was to stop Zhu Chongba's reward for this Fujian scholar.
Ma Dajia's reason is, of course, very reflective of the demeanor of his generation of virtuous queens.
"If the Holy Lord rewards this person today, his ministers who are fortunate enough to advance in the future will use this as a shortcut to the south, and the official system of the imperial court will collapse......"
In the final Ming generation, there is only one queen who dares to comment on the government so bluntly, but can still be praised by hundreds of officials and recognized by the emperor!
As a result, Zhu Chongba quickly changed the edict of reward. After deliberately asking about the origin of the herb of Fujian scholars, Zhu Chongba sent a brocade guard to send an edict of reward to the herbs in the deep mountains and old forests, and put on python robes for these herbs, which was to add to the red robe.
The name of the big red robe spread, and it was later discovered that this herb turned out to be an excellent tea after being stir-fried. It was the royal family who took the lead, and the only tea trees in the world were banned, and the annual tea output was only a few taels, almost all of which were monopolized by the royal family, and at most a few taels were rewarded to the important ministers of the court, and very few were spread outside!
Xu Chen remembered the story he had heard back then, regardless of whether it was true or not, but the famous tea of Da Hong Pao did not spread until the Ming Dynasty.
"Oh no!" Xu Chen actually thought of something again: "I seem to have heard before, the tea trees on the cliff wall of Jiulong seem to be the oldest only more than 600 years old, and it happens to be the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"But now it's the Tang Dynasty Tianbao years hundreds of years earlier than the Hongwu year!
Thinking of this, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel discouraged.
I finally found the best tea, but I didn't expect to miss the time. It's like two men and women who are in love, they didn't meet for the first time, and when they look back, they are already a hundred years old.
"I hate to meet when I am not married!"
Xu Chen's eyes were distracted, and he moaned weakly in his mouth.
"No!" Xu Chen straightened up again, either regaining his confidence, or just comforting himself, and cheered himself up: "Tea trees are all in groups, since Jiulongyao can grow those few big red robes in a few hundred years, now in this year, but it may not be none, the evolution of plants will take tens of thousands of years, these hundreds of years of hard work, I don't believe you can still grow into flowers! Maybe you can find a few thousands of miles!"
Xu Chen, who had something in mind, couldn't wait to leave immediately, ran to Jiulongyao, and carefully searched for his famous tea.
