Chapter 250: Tea and Grain Wine

In fact, when it comes to tea, originally in China, the northern region did not drink much tea, the culture of tea first came from Shu, in the Han Dynasty, only people in Shu will drink tea in the world.

In the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, in fact, there was no so-called circulating tea, until the Jin Dynasty, as the family dominated the resources of the whole country, the style of extravagant enjoyment, it spread all over the north and south of the river, and tea was developed at that time.

However, the earliest tea was boiled tea, which is often seen in some novels that cross the stream, and it was necessary to add goat's milk to it, add salt and the like and boil it before drinking, so that it was to replenish the salt, iron and other elements that it needed.

It really began to stir-fry tea and make tea like in modern times, and that was not until the Song Dynasty.

From the Song Dynasty onwards, the modern tea has been handed down completely.

The tea itself is also divided into green tea and black tea, green tea clears the stomach and minds, and black tea warms the stomach and removes cold.

With the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, black tea was also transmitted to Europe, and the British thought that the most gentlemanly ornament black tea was passed over at that time, but Jiang Hai himself did not like black tea, because he did not like to drink bitter things.

Zhang Di's tea here, some black tea, but also some green tea, these tea trees, the older ones are about to be 100 years old.

And the young one has been more than ten or twenty years, after all, it is so easy to bring tea abroad these years, and if you want to bring tea trees, you just think about it, these things are all obtained by him a long time ago.

"This is the West Lake Longjing you drink, I also got it from the West Lake, this is Biluochun, produced in Dongting Mountain, Taihu Lake, Jiangsu Province, not Dongting-Lake, this tea tastes good. This is the Huangshan Mao Peak, the best of the Mao Peak, produced in Taiping County, Anhui Province, this is the Junshan Silver Needle, produced in Dongting Lake, Hunan Province...... This is Lu'an Gua Pian from Anhui Province ......"

While taking Jiang Hai away, Zhang Lao introduced his tea leaves. For him, these are his treasures.

And in Jiang Hai's view, these are also treasures!

After following Zhang Lao to take a look, Jiang Hai also almost finished reading all the tea trees, there are a total of fifteen kinds of tea trees here, more than 200 trees.

There are not too many of each, it can be seen that Zhang Lao is not, and he doesn't have too many of these teas.

"Then I'll pull some branches and plant them." Jiang Hai has aura, and he is not worried about whether he will live or not. After listening to Mr. Zhang's introduction, Jiang Hai also made up his mind in his heart, he didn't know much about tea, but he knew that all he used to drink was bud tea.

He doesn't like tea leaves that are generally roasted until they are completely dry, and even less so when it comes to fermented teas.

So he finally chose to get a little West Lake Longjing and a little Huangshan Maofeng. Get some Emei bamboo leaf green, just have these three kinds of tea. Black tea or something, he is not interested, even if it is the legendary national tea Da Hong Pao.

Thinking of this, he directly stretched his hand towards the tea tree in front of him, ready to pull a section back to raise.

But before he could stretch his hand, he was already beaten back by Zhang Lao.

"You just break it with your hands. Do you understand you! Forget it, I guess you don't understand, stay by the side! Glancing at Jiang Hai, Zhang Lao took a deep breath and took a knife from the side. Slowly walked over.

Everyone knows that it is very troublesome to drink tea, but in fact, it is also very troublesome to pick tea and the like.

The technique of vegetable tea, not to mention the experience, is very particular about the time of tea picking alone.

Taking the dragon well as an example, the best dragon well is the dragon well before the Ming Dynasty, which is the dragon well before the rain, and then the ordinary dragon well.

The influence of temperature on Longjing is very large, in the spring tea season, the higher the temperature, the worse the quality of the tea, the lower the temperature, the better the quality, but the tea is difficult to grow, this is a dead button, otherwise it will not be good or bad.

According to the climate and solar terms, the tea leaves that grow to the size of the tea that can be collected before the Qingming Festival are called Ming Qian tea, such tea, it is good to pick dozens of buds on one plant, so the price is also ridiculously expensive.

After the Qingming Festival to the tea before the rain in the valley, it is called the tea before the rain, the quality of this tea is worse than the tea before the Ming Dynasty, but it is much better than the general tea, the vegetables picked after the rain in the valley are called spring tea, or new tea, and the taste is average.

Of course, now this tea is in the United States, to be exact, Qingming is over, and Gu Yu is also over.

Now the tea is not so valuable and so delicious, but Zhang Lao is still very precious and fiddling with these things.

In the end, under the command of Jiang Hai, a total of thirteen branches were made for Jiang Hai, six of which were Longjing's, and he also liked to drink this tea, which was with his father, whose father had brought a lot of Longjing tea trees from China, but most of them died in the first year of transplantation, and the remaining tea trees have been multiplied so much, in addition to some in California, only here are some.

But after all, there was stock, so the quantity was relatively large, so I gave Jiang Hai more.

Huangshan Maofeng gave three branches, Emei Zhu Yeqing gave four branches, now he is reluctant to give, just now when talking about beef business, I didn't see him so distressed, it can be seen that these things are really his heart's top meat.

After getting the branches ready, Zhang Lao immediately took Jiang Hai away, of course, before leaving, Jiang Hai also took a bag of seeds of oil beans and some kiwi branches, ready to go back and plant, although he didn't care too much about these two, but didn't go empty.

With a look of great grief, Zhang Lao took Jiang Hai to a room on the third floor.

As soon as he opened the door of this room, Jiang Hai smelled a strong smell of wine, and when he looked up, he found that at this time, in front of him, there were piles of that kind of big plastic barrels, needless to say, he knew that it must be filled with wine.

Needless to say, I also know that these should be Zhang Lao's help to get grain and wine.

"Boy, you know that these wines are not easy to get, real grain wine, now it is not easy to get in China, let alone abroad, these are all I pulled out of the mouth of an old friend of mine, after telling you, the third day, just shipped from San Francisco, you look at it, two barrels for one." Looking at the wine in front of him, Zhang Lao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, these are all pure grain wines, all of them are seventy degrees of small burn, and the taste may not be as good as those packaged wines, but if it is used to make wine, thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes lit up.

"No problem!" Looking at the wine in front of him, Jiang Hai was also happy, today is really a bumper harvest.

He had a total of seventeen deer whips, and he was going to make four jars of wine, two in each of them, and nine of them remained, and today he brought five of them, and he could carry five barrels of wine back, and when he thought of this, he went into this room.

Zhang Lao is still very particular, the wine barrels in the room are not ordinary small wine barrels, but barrels that can hold fifty catties.

One bucket can be soaked in a jar, he gets ten buckets back, slowly rectify, it's really not good, just soak another bucket is not bad.

The glass jars used for soaking wine are directly ordered by him, so there is no problem.

On the top of each barrel of wine, a piece of adhesive tape is affixed to it, and what the wine is made of is written in Chinese.

Basically all kinds of liquor are available, sorghum, corn, rice, glutinous rice, barley, wheat, millet, barley...... It's all here, but Jiang Hai is not stupid, whether it's rice or glutinous rice, it's rice wine, and this wine can't be soaked.

And the barley is produced in the western region, Jiang Hai has not drunk it, but he doesn't know if this can be soaked, so he still doesn't take it, and finally he chose the three kinds of wine of sorghum, jue rice, and barley, four barrels of sorghum, and three other barrels.

A total of ten barrels of wine, with the help of the servants in Zhang's hometown, got these ten sticks of wine into his car.

Thanks to Jiang Hai's liking to drive this kind of big car, if he really drove a sedan over, even if it was his Rolls-Royce, it was estimated that it would not be able to fit it, and after making the ten barrels of wine, Jiang Hai took the branches of tea and the like.

At the same time, he took out a package of things from the car, opened it first, and then stuffed it into Zhang Lao's hand.

"Uncle Zhang, take care." Seeing that after Zhang Lao took this thing, a smile flashed on his face, and Jiang Hai also said with a smile.

"Ahem, I'm so old, it's normal to drink these, but do you want to drink them at such a young age?" But is Uncle Zhang so easy to deal with? Hearing Jiang Hai's words, he raised his eyebrows and said to Jiang Hai.

"I'm curious, can't I be curious?" Hearing his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he was really an old man who refused to suffer.

But anyway, Jiang Hai got the things he wanted, he was very happy, after talking to Uncle Zhang, Jiang Hai climbed into the car, started the engine and ran home quickly, after returning home, asked Robbins to come over and help, and got the ten barrels of wine into a room where they kept it alone, Robbins They were originally curious about what it was, but when Jiang Hai opened the lid on the spill, they were not curious, although Robbins They also like wine.

But they like the kind of foreign wine that smells fragrant and drinks fragrant, such as Huaxia, which rushes from beginning to end grain wine, they are not used to drinking, and in the end they can only retreat, after putting the wine away, Jiang Hai deliberately opened a piece of land behind his house.

He also used a shelf to build a rain-proof and snow-proof defensive cover, and then he put the tea and other plants he got from Zhang Lao and inserted them in, Jiang Hai can be said to have invested a lot of money this time, for fear that these tea trees will not live, and deliberately injected a scale of aura on each tea plant, compared to tea, kiwi and beans are much more raw.

Jiang Hai only injected two pieces of spiritual energy into it, and then handed it over to Philimon and asked his wife to plant it. (To be continued.) )
