Chapter 365: Devonian
When it came to geological knowledge, Professor Huang immediately opened the conversation.
On the one hand, because his greatest interest is geology, and on the other hand, he also wants Lu Yu, an arrogant boy, to know that geology is not so simple.
Therefore, Professor Huang talked about this lecture for more than an hour.
Throughout the process, Lu Yu listened with a smile all the time, and occasionally asked a few questions.
At first, Professor Huang and even Associate Professor Lin and others did not have a good impression of Lu Yu.
But as Professor Huang's explanation deepened, they suddenly discovered that Lu Yu, a tea man who had never studied geology, could often ask the key points of the question!
You must know that geology is not something that can be learned from movies and television or literary works casually, it is a very professional and highly technical science.
But Lu Yu can not only keep up with the rhythm of Professor Huang's lectures, but even has a higher level of understanding and cognition than the surrounding students majoring in geology!
Later, even Professor Huang had to think about some questions before he could answer them.
Specialized terms such as "Caledonian Movement", "Hercynian Movement", "Super Mantle Plume", "Siberian Dark Rock Incident", etc., as well as shield fishes, Attenborough mother fishes, etc...... and other names of ancient creatures, Lu Yu said them all in the way.
Could it be that this kid actually took a geology course before he became a tea man? Or was he simply born into a family of geology?!
After more than an hour, Professor Huang became more and more frightened the more he spoke, and his attitude towards Lu Yu also changed significantly.
Of course, Lu Yu also noticed this change.
In fact, he did it on purpose today.
In his eyes, this Professor Huang is like an aged tea, which needs to be roasted slowly over low heat, and the water in it can be dried to bring out the best question.
And now the "water" has almost been dried, just waiting for boiling water to make tea.
Lu Yu suddenly turned to look at the empty monk who was almost asleep not far away, and said, "Empty monk, boil water!"
When the empty monk heard Lu Yu calling himself, he hurriedly cheered up and nodded heavily: "Yes! Master!"
Tea?
Professor Huang was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "I don't drink tea!"
Lu Yu smiled and said: "Professor Huang has said so much, he must be dry-mouthed, my tea is different from other people's, it is very sweet and thirst-quenching, and it is also an authentic tea produced in our China, which is much stronger than those foreign teas." ”
Before this, Lu Yu also knew about this Professor Huang and found that this Professor Huang had a quirk, that is, he never drank tea!
However, in the information that Zheng Ke could provide later, Lu Yu learned that there was actually a reason why Professor Huang did not drink tea.
Because Professor Huang was once humiliated in front of a foreign tea man!
At that time, Professor Huang was still a young geological prospector, and the nature of the work of a geologist was similar to that of a tea man, but it was even more difficult to compare. They roam the desert of the Gobi Desert deep in the mountains and forests all year round, just to find mineral deposits, extract soil samples, and draw more detailed geological maps.
In the process of drawing, Professor Huang met a team of tea people led by foreign tea people.
After small talk, I learned that this foreign tea man was actually hired by the Huaxia Tea People Federation to come to Huaxia to look for good tea.
It's just that this foreign tea man is very arrogant, not only is he very rude to Professor Huang, but even the Chinese tea people and staff accompanying him are very arrogant and rude.
Professor Huang couldn't look past his youthful vigor, so he said a few more words.
But I didn't expect that foreign tea man to make a lot of nonsense, and he was very scathing and sarcastic about Huaxia tea, and laughed at such a big country that didn't even have a single good tea, which was simply a joke in the world!
The specific details have long been unknown, but since then, Professor Huang has vowed not to drink tea again!
But Lu Yu also noticed a situation, that is, at that time, most of the intellectuals in China drank foreign tea, and until today, Huaxia tea has not really entered the domestic high-end tea market.
So what he just said also wanted to try whether this Professor Huang didn't drink tea or foreign tea.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Professor Huang did not say anything against it, but instead said, "What do you mean by asking so many questions about the Devonian system just now?"
Lu Yu took out a few packets of Taiping Monkey Kui and put them on the table, and said with a smile: "Professor Huang said that he was joking, of course, the questions I asked were related to the porcelain we were looking for this time. ”
Professor Huang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You mean that that kind of porcelain is fired from Devonian mines?
"Of course there is a basis!"
Lu Yu said lightly while placing the teacup: "In the Devonian Period, some fine clay particles and other minerals were relocated by wind or water power, and a sedimentary clay shale was slowly formed...... And only this kind of mineral, which is formed under the miraculous power of nature, can make the kind of porcelain that is specially born for tea. ”
The more Professor Huang listened, the more surprised he became, and at this time he blurted out a question: "How come I have never heard of such a thing?!Where is the kind of mine you are talking about?!"
Lu Yu saw that the monk had already boiled the water and brought the overheated water, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Professor Huang, don't worry, let's drink a cup of tea first and talk slowly." ”
While speaking, he also began to brew the Taiping Monkey Kui slowly and logically.
There were a total of nine people present, including the empty monk, so he brewed nine cups, and each of them drank one cup slowly.
Professor Huang has been running around for the minerals of China for almost half of his life, and when he heard that there was such a vein specially made for tea, he was already impatient to continue listening. So I didn't pay attention to what the tea brewed by Lu Yu looked like at all, so I just picked it up and took a big sip!
"I've got tea! You can ...... now. Huh, this tea ......."
Professor Huang had just finished speaking, but his whole body suddenly shook, and then he stared at the teacup in his hand with wide eyes in surprise, and muttered, "This tea is so fragrant!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but take another sip and blurted out praise: "Mellow and refreshing, with an endless aftertaste!
Lu Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "It seems that Professor Huang doesn't drink tea, but he doesn't drink foreign tea, as well as poor quality tea! In my opinion, you not only like to drink tea, but also know how to drink tea!"
