Wild tea?!

Lu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly put down the work in his hand, wiped his hands and took the kettle.

Uncle Da's kettle has obviously been used for many years, and the shape is a bit like the military kettle of early China.

After unscrewing the lid of the pot, a faint fragrance of tea came out, and Lu Yu directly poured himself most of the bowl and took a sip with his head up.

The taste of the tea is very light, with a hint of bitterness in it.

Obviously, Uncle Da put a small amount of tea into the kettle and flushed it directly, and soaked it in the kettle for a long time, and almost all the ingredients in the tea have been precipitated.

It doesn't taste good, but it's not bad either.

Lu Yu squinted his eyes and tasted the taste carefully, and he couldn't tell whether it was the tea he was looking for for for the time being.

Uncle Da smiled: "Xiao Lu, don't laugh, our tea here is not as good as the ones sold in the city, so you can drink it." ”

Lu Yu drank the remaining tea soup in the bowl, then shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Da said that he laughed, I think your tea here is good!

Uncle Da laughed when he heard this: "Yes, of course, it is all given by the mountain god, if you really want it, I will take it for you!"

Lu Yu hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, and took two steps and said, "Really, thank you so much, Uncle Da, I'll go with you!"

The banquet had not yet begun, and there were enough people to prepare, so Uncle Da simply took Lu Yu and walked straight to the back of the village.

Most of the Miao family's stockade is made of logs and rammed earth, and its interior is like a maze.

Lu Yu followed Uncle Da and didn't dare to walk around, and after a while, he came to a clearing on the roof.

Uncle Da stopped, pointed to a black-roofed cabin by the clearing, and said, "This is where I store my tea, and when the weather is good, I will take out the tea in it and dry it, and now I will put it in it this season." ”

As he spoke, Uncle Da opened the wooden door and turned around to light an oil lamp on the side.

Lu Yu saw through the light that the space in the cabin was not large, and all kinds of bamboo water screens were placed on top of each other on simple wooden shelves, and tea leaves were spread on top of these water screens.

These teas are obviously not processed, they are all naturally dried or sun-dried, but fortunately, the humidity in the mountains is good, and there is not much brittleness and crumbling.

On the dustpans or sieves near the door, there are tea leaves that have been roughly processed and kneaded into thin strips.

These should be specially made by the uncle and other people in the village for brewing and carrying, and nearly half of the strips of tea have been a little dark in color, and it seems that it should have been a long time.

Lu Yu first picked up the complete blade inside and looked at it, but he didn't see any clues.

After all, he is not from a botanical class, and he can distinguish the varieties of some characteristic teas by the characteristics on the leaves, but most of the tea leaves are not very significant, and it is difficult to distinguish them without comparison.

Then he picked up another leaf and put it in his mouth and tasted it, and his excellent taste immediately discerned a hint of freshness.

It's just that this fresh taste disappeared in a flash, and with it came a strong smell of grass, so that he had no way to distinguish the source of this fresh taste.

After observing and tasting fruitlessly, Lu Yu was not discouraged. If it was so easy to find Enshi Yulu, then he would be a little incredulous.

He straightened up and carried the lamp and turned back to the door, filled some tea in a small cloth bag, and said with a smile: "Uncle Da, thank you for your tea, it's enough for me to take these." ”

Uncle Da didn't speak, but nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Lu, are you a tea man?"

As soon as Lu Yu walked out of the door, he was stunned when he heard the words, and then turned around and nodded: "Yes, I am a tea man, Uncle Da can see it?"

Uncle Da also walked to the clearing, but the smile on his face did not appear again.

He looked Lu Yu up and down and said, "I didn't expect you to become a tea man at such a young age, if it weren't for the fact that I saw your movements in the room just now, it would be really hard to believe......"

Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Actually, I didn't mean to hide Uncle Da, but you didn't ask me about it." ”

Uncle Da nodded, turned around and locked the door of the wooden house, and then said, "I don't blame you, it's just that after staying in the village for one night today, you can leave by yourself, we don't welcome tea people here." ”

This time, Lu Yu was completely stunned.

Tea people are not welcome? What is the rule?

Could it be that the villagers of this village have a festival with the tea people? I also plan to ask this uncle to take me to the mountains to see those "wild teas", if so, wouldn't it be a failure?!

Seeing that Lu Yu seemed to want to speak and stopped, Uncle Da lit a cigarette and said lightly: "Don't think about it, this is not aimed at you, but for the respect of the mountain god." ”

"Respect for the mountain gods?" Lu Yu asked puzzled.

Uncle Da walked a few steps, came to the edge of the clearing and overlooked the bonfire that had been lit in the village, and said: "Our village has lived in this mountain for generations, and it is all thanks to the favor of the mountain god to be able to pass it on to the present. But if anyone touches the taboo of the mountain gods, disaster will befall us. ”

The taboo of the mountain gods?

The more Lu Yu listened, the more confused he became, what does the mountain god's taboo have to do with tea?

The mountains of Enshi are rich in resources, not to mention birds and animals, and there are also a lot of minerals.

It is precisely because of these minerals and beautiful natural environment that Enshi people can live a rich life.

This "mountain god" even allows the mining of minerals in the mountains, and all kinds of Chinese herbs can be picked and developed, but why is there a taboo on tea alone?!

It's just that Uncle Da didn't seem to be in the mood or didn't want to explain this to him at all, and after smoking a cigarette, he didn't even say hello to Lu Yu and walked straight downstairs.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

These Miao men are hospitable, but they are also too upright, as soon as they heard that they were tea people, their attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, why is this?!

Thinking about things in his heart, Lu Yu also helplessly went downstairs along the steps.

But after walking for a while, he suddenly felt that his surroundings seemed to be gradually quieting down.

Could it be that the people in the square of the stockade have already prepared a dinner party?

It can't be so quiet?!

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but he could still vaguely hear the sound of laughter coming from the square.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and really thought that something was wrong, it turned out that it was just that the distance between himself and the square had become farther away, and the surrounding buildings had made the sound quieter......

But the next moment, Lu Yu's body suddenly stiffened!

The distance has become farther away, and the sound has become quieter...... I didn't pay attention to my step when I went downstairs and went the wrong way?!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and looked around, and finally came to a conclusion that made him depressed...... He actually got lost in the stockade!
