Chapter 115: About the "Meat"
Li Xuanling listened carefully and nodded from time to time, judging from the expression on her face, it was true that before this, she may not have heard of these distinctions about Wuyi Rock Tea.
In other words, if you are not a tea enthusiast, you may not necessarily study it so carefully.
Among the tea leaves, the cinnamon bark flavor is obvious, it is cinnamon, and the bubble is soft, it is narcissus.
Of course, the distinction between "horse meat" and "beef" is nothing more than hype for those tea enthusiasts.
Then some tea merchants hyped up the concept in the name of profit, and the price of these teas was much higher than the actual value.
As for the word "meat", in Wuyi Mountain, the so-called "horse meat" is Matouyan cinnamon, and "beef" is the cinnamon of Niulankeng.
Because in Wuyi Mountain, "three pits and two streams" are the most famous. In fact, there are many mountain farms in Wuyi Mountain, and each mountain farm has its own unique microclimate, so the rock tea planted in different mountain farms also has its own unique variety characteristics.
The three pits and two streams, namely Huiyuan Pit, Niulankeng, Dakengkou, Liuxiang Stream and Wuyuan Stream, are also the traditional Zhengyan production area of Wuyi Mountain.
The "beef" of Niulankeng, that is, the cinnamon of Niulankeng and the narcissus of Huiyuankeng are the most famous, and they are also considered to have the most rock rhyme.
"'Beef' is introverted, the taste is mellow and domineering, the 'horse meat' is public, the aroma is high, the cinnamon of Huiyuankeng is soft and wrapping, and the cinnamon of Wuyuanjian has a very clear cinnamon fragrance. ”
Since "beef" became famous in one fell swoop, it has been hyped by the market for tens of thousands of dollars because of its scarce production and the most abundant rock rhyme, and it has become a luxury item away from ordinary tea lovers.
As a result, rock tea enthusiasts began to look for alternatives, and various "meats" from Wuyi Mountain were excavated.
At present, the "horse meat" is no less famous than "beef" - Matouyan cinnamon, which has won popularity for its unique domineering taste.
Coincidentally, in addition to "beef" and "horse meat", there are many unheard of various kinds of "meat":
"Dragon Meat" - Nine Dragons Cinnamon, Nine Dragons is the location of the Da Hong Pao Ancestral Garden, "Tiger Meat" - Tiger Roaring Rock Cinnamon, "Elephant Meat" - Elephant Trunk Rock Cinnamon, "Lion Meat" - Green Lion Rock Cinnamon, "Cat Meat" - a small area of Matouyan Mountain Farm, Cat Ear Stone Cinnamon, "Mutton" - Yangdun Rock Cinnamon, "Eagle Meat" - Eagle Beak Rock Cinnamon, "Swallow Meat" - Swallow Cave Cinnamon, and even more incredible "Ghost Meat" - Ghost Cave Cinnamon.
Chen Long told that Gu Yuexuan's waiter had already put the dishes on the table, and he spoke with relish, while Li Xuanling listened attentively.
When the aroma of the dishes came to the nostrils and overcame Long Chen's exposition of those "meats", Li Xuanling finally couldn't help but interrupt Long Chen's words, "Brother Long, the dishes have been served, let's eat and talk at the same time, listening to you keep talking about meat, meat, I'm almost salivating." ”
"Hahaha, that's right, I'm hungry too. Eat, eat......"
Li Xuanling picked up a piece of steamed crispy Anhui fish and put it in Chen Long's bowl, "Brother Long, this is authentic Zhongshan crispy Anhui, I don't know if you have eaten it, it tastes very good." You taste ......"
"Thank you!"
At this moment, Chen Long "chuckled" in his heart, for some reason, he actually looked at Li Xuanling, and Li Xuanling's graceful eyes were also looking at him.
The eyes of the two met, and a warm current stirred in their hearts, and there was an indescribable feeling.
Then, the two looked away again, Chen Long picked up the piece of steamed crispy wan and put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, it was delicious and delicate, full of elasticity, and a little very tenacious.
Li Xuanling's eyes widened and watched him eat, "How is it?"
Long Chen nodded contentedly, "Pretty good!"
Li Xuanling smiled, and then used a spoon to scoop wild black rice boiled abalone into Long Chen's bowl, "Brother Long, this is said to be wild black rice boiled abalone, and the taste is also very beautiful, you eat it quickly!"
Chen Long was a little embarrassed, as if he was reincarnated as a hungry ghost, so he had to smile and say, "Xuanling, don't patronize me, you can eat quickly." ”
"Hehe, today I invited Brother Long to eat Cantonese food, of course, I want you to taste all the food. Li Xuanling kept serving Chen Long's vegetables.
Chen Long scooped a spoonful of wild black rice boiled abalone with a spoon, put it in his mouth, chewed slowly, smooth and sweet, it was really the first time to eat such a dish, Cantonese cuisine is not like Sichuan cuisine is mainly spicy, nor is it as spicy as Hunan cuisine, but mainly light.
In other words, it is more health-based, and many soups in Cantonese cuisine are famous.
Of course, today, Li Xuanling didn't have any special soup, only ordered cordyceps flower pork rib soup.
"Brother Long, this is a three-cup duck, strictly speaking, the three-cup duck belongs to Fujian cuisine. But this dish is a secret method of Cantonese Hakka, so the taste is somewhat different from FJ's Fujian cuisine. Li Xuanling continued to serve dishes to Chen Long, so that Chen Long could not stop eating.
Chen Long is also not polite, in the world, the three beauties of life cannot be disappointed, food, beauty, beauty, now, there is food in front of the beauty, of course, it cannot be disappointed.
However, for him, there is another beauty, that is, beautiful tea.
The pot of "horse meat" I ordered today is still on the tea set on the table, and I haven't tasted it yet.
First a delicious meal, and then a cup of tea, what a pleasure it should be.
"How is it?Brother Long, this Cantonese food suits your taste, right?" Li Xuanling asked with a smile as if she was worried.
While chewing three cups of duck, Long Chen nodded and gave a thumbs up, praising him: "It's really authentic Cantonese cuisine, it's delicious, it's amazing." ”
"That's good, eat more if it's delicious. Li Xuanling smiled with satisfaction.
Chen Long ate a lot of dishes, stopped his chopsticks, and looked at the pot of "horse meat" on the tea set on the side, but salivated, "Xuanling, after the meal, it seems that we have to taste this pot of 'horse meat'." ”
Li Xuanling also ate a lot, nodded and said, "Okay, I can't wait." ”
For tea, of course, Chen Long is good at it, so he immediately took the teacup, poured a cup of tea for Li Xuanling, and handed it to her.
Although this "horse meat" is brewed in such a pot, it is a bit violent, but it is expensive in good tea, and it is extremely mellow.
Just poured out of the pot, a fresh fragrance comes to the face, "horse meat" in addition to the taste characteristics of other rock tea, but also with its aroma pungent and long-lasting high-variety fragrance is loved by people.
The cinnamon fragrance is obvious, the good one has a milky taste, the aroma is soaked for a long time, the entrance is mellow and sweet, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after pharyngeal; The color of the soup is orange and yellow, the bottom of the leaves is evenly bright, and it is bordered by red on a light green background; The cords are even, tightly knotted and curled, the color is brownish-green, oily and shiny, and some leaves have frog skin-like small white spots on the back.
Li Xuanling took a sip of tea, her lips moved slightly, her teeth were like snow, and her unique charm was already fascinating, "Yes, it's really a good tea, mellow and full of charm." ”
Chen Long also took a sip of tea and was full of praise, "Good tea, good tea!"
