Chapter 22 What is the Ming Dynasty?
Mr. Li understood his thoughts, so he asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to let someone fry some tea and try it?" ”
There is a big gap between some raw and cooked teas, which cannot be understood at a glance, and a person like Lu Yu who has such a strong desire for truth will not draw conclusions casually.
I don't know why, he heard this sentence, but he didn't answer, he didn't even look at Mr. Li, he chose a tea stove, and went outside - he wanted to fry it himself, and he couldn't look down on other people's methods. Some of them are obviously good tea and good stoves, but they are ruined by the wrong cooking method, and he is very distressed.
Mr. Li carefully guided, and there was a cellar next to it, which was filled with snow water from years ago.
The words of the tea saint were also heard.
Lighting the fire, burning the stove, putting water, washing the tea...... One by one, the mundane things were done slowly, and Lu Yu's expression was peaceful and calm, as if an old Taoist priest was concentrating on enlightenment.
He was born to be a tea maker!
Gradually, a strange fragrance filled the entire courtyard.
I don't know if it was the lanterns in the courtyard that attracted the brilliance, or Lu Yu's sacred aura lit up the courtyard, everyone stood in the middle, but they felt like they were in a fairyland, comfortable and worry-free.
Li Huizhi has to admire, it's still a serious man who is attractive! Lu Yu is so obsessed with being serious and serene, almost making him like a fairy possessed, not like a mortal thing, so people can completely ignore that he is ugly, and it doesn't matter if he stutters or not.
No wonder he regards money and power as dung, and if he is contaminated with a trace of copper at this time, it is impossible for him to be so free and easy.
I wonder if Ma Yun was so charming when he was in a meeting?
After the tea was brewed, Lu Yu seemed to return to the world, and he smiled and invited the people around him to taste it.
Li Huizhi was a little excited, she said she didn't dare to taste it.
Lu Yu was stunned: "Why?" Don't...... Isn't it fragrant? ”
Li Huizhi shook her head: "I'm afraid that after I drank this cup of tea, all the tea will never taste good in the future!" ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
A cup of tea is refreshing, the lips and teeth are fragrant, the sweet taste is fresh, and the aftertaste is endless.
Lu Yu unconsciously praised: "Wonderful! "A good way to solve a stutter, just one word in a sentence.
Having good tea, Lu Yu couldn't help asking, "Where does this tea come from?" "Not every place can produce good tea. The better the tea, the more it is usually produced between the strange mountains and different peaks, which is difficult for mortals to find.
Mr. Li was a little proud, and said: "To the west of Huzhou, there is a Xiawu Mountain, which is high into the sky, with lush forests and bamboos in the mountains, clear streams and turbulent streams, fresh air and pleasant scenery. There is Xiamu Spring on the top of the mountain, the name is called "Tianhu", there is Xiamu Lake under the mountain, there are several temples and Taoist temples in the mountain, there is another Sankui Pavilion, it is said that there was a master who had been in that pavilion to feather and ascend to immortal, and later this kind of tea was produced near the pavilion, its fragrance was very cold, and it was picked by people. ”
Lu Yu nodded while sipping tea: "I see!" …… I don't know what the name of this tea is? ”
"This tea is a new discovery, and it doesn't have a name yet, dare to ask Duke Lu to give it a name?" Chief Li said.
Li Huizhi admired in her heart: Master Li is a good fart! The tea named by Lu Yu, he really dared to think about it! It's better to be ashamed!
Lu Yu didn't realize that he had been used, he tasted the tea with his eyes closed, and while pondering, he said slowly: "The tea can be so fragrant and fresh, it must be picked from the buds that come out after the Qingming rain...... Sankui-tei ...... Let's call it 'Three Aoi Rain Buds'......"
He was also shocked, it was an unexpected joy to be able to taste such delicious tea today, and this tea was named by himself for the first time, what a joy it was!
Li Huizhi found that as long as Lu Yu talked about tea, he didn't stutter!
Master Li thanked him excitedly.
Li Huizhi lost no time, took the four treasures of the study that had been prepared a long time ago, and said: "Master Lu, since you drank so well, you have to leave a few words in vain!" ”
Lu Yu suddenly felt that it was exactly what he wanted, he picked up the pen, only to feel that his chest was overflowing, and he didn't know what to write!
Li Huizhi smiled: "I've thought about it for you, just write 'peerless tea' and sign your name!" ”
What is the word "uh......"? It's vulgar. Lu Yu was disdainful for a while.
"Don't think about it, just write this, it's good." Li Huizhi urged. The advertisement should be simple and easy to remember, easy to understand, and with the name of Lu Ye, this tea will not be worried in the future, and it will be sold for at least a thousand years.
"......" Lu Yu was so dizzy by Li Huizhi's quarrel that he couldn't remember any words, so he had to reluctantly write a few words of peerless tea, sign his name, and stamp a big seal, after writing, he still felt a little ashamed. After thinking about it, he added a few words at the end: "Three sunflower rain buds". That's when I felt better. Well, and a bit of a rhyme.
The tea saint looked at this line of words and sighed: "It's me who is lonely, it turns out that Huzhou can produce such good tea, and I will live in Huzhou for a long time in the future, travel all over the mountains, and taste all the tea!" "The Book of Tea" I also want to write in Huzhou! ”
"......" Li Huizhi was completely stunned.
Some proudly looked at the words earned, and there were Lu Ye's autographs and seals on them! I don't know what to use to describe the excitement at the moment. She said happily: "In fact, the signature of famous artists on products has been around since ancient times. Back then, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Song, didn't help others mention the word 'Liubiju'! Don't you know there's another interesting allusion here?
It is said that the boss of 'Liubiju' was bent on expanding his business, so he wanted to find the prime minister at that time to give him a word to expand his reputation. But the prime minister of the family, where can he be a seasoning? No matter how much money you give, you won't do it. Later, the spice boss thought a little, spent a lot of money to buy a lot of jewelry, and found someone to give it to Yan Song's wife, who was greedy for money, so she followed the matter.
Mrs. also knows the master's mind, and knows that it is impossible to ask hard, so she thought of a way, one day the old man was playing at home, so Mrs. pretended to practice calligraphy and wrote a few 'Liubiju', but of course it happened to be seen by Lord Yan, and he laughed at Mrs.'s words: 'Written like this, it's embarrassing to show off!' Look at me! So with a big stroke of the pen, he wrote the three words of 'Liubiju' with great strength! As soon as I saw that the writing was not bad, I was quite satisfied, so I signed a big name.
Later, the lady secretly stamped the prime minister's seal, so the pile of jewelry belonged to the lady. The seller of spices also got the handwriting of the famous minister of the dynasty, so the name was loud and the business was booming.
Of course, business as usual doesn't end here.
Many years later, Lord Yan's house was raided, and his son was also beheaded, leaving him a lonely old man in his eighties who had to go back to his hometown along the street to ask for food. One day he passed by a mansion, thinking that he would be able to get a meal of meat today, but when he looked up, there were several big words written on the shop signs: 'Liubiju'. Isn't that exactly what I wrote?
This triggered the memories of the old man who was once dominant, thinking about what the scenery was back then, how one person was above tens of thousands of people, and how he could afford to make spices. What now? But he is so depressed, asking for food at the door of people's houses, where is the face to go in? So instead of being so ashamed that he hit the wall and died, he crossed their house and went to beg somewhere else. ……”
Li Huizhi finished speaking in one breath, thinking that she was going to get a full house, but she didn't know that several pairs of eyes at the scene looked at her stupidly.
What's going on? Isn't it wonderful? No, this story is obviously very interesting, okay! Li Huizhi remembered that when she first saw this wild history, she laughed so much that her stomach hurt.
The eldest brother Li An asked: "Sister, what is the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"......" Li Huizhi wanted to sew her mouth up again.
It's good to listen to the story casually, why is it so serious?
Xiaoyu brought some snacks at the right time. In order to suit many tastes, there are many varieties of dim sum.
And one of them, Li Huizhi is very familiar, fried golden brown dough cake, on top of some fruits, vegetables and minced meat.
"Is this pizza?" Li Huizhi asked.
Xiao Yu's eyes widened: "This is not pizza, it's fried buns!" Aunt Hu taught me to do it before. ”
"No way, it's pizza!"
"No, this is fried buns, when the old man used to transport tea to the Western Regions, he ate it there, because he thought it was delicious, so he came back and described it and asked Aunt Hu to make it." Xiaoyu seriously defended.
Hold a grass!
As soon as he heard that it was spread from the Western Regions, Lu Yu was the first to taste it. This is a great man who has the courage to open a mountain and establish a sect, naturally it is not something that ordinary people can imagine, after traveling tens of thousands of miles in the Tang Dynasty, the more he sees and hears, the more he feels that he knows less, and is more eager to see something that he has not seen, just like the tea ceremony, he has not seen or heard of many more.
Li Huizhi also tasted it and thought it was not very tasty, it looked like it, but how could a pizza without milk and cheese be delicious?
The courtyard is full of lights, the sky is full of stars, the crescent moon is like a hook, the breeze is light, the tea fragrance is full of the courtyard, this situation and this scene, the people and the moon are drunk, I hope not to wake up.
Wei Yingwen concluded: "If you want me to say, tea should still be served with pastries, that's good!" "Today he was lucky, I don't know whose light he drenched, and he actually drank such a good tea!
"It's right with barbecue!" Li Huizhi is a meat gg, and she has not been very fond of pastry food since she was a child.
"What is a barbecue?" Wei Yingwen and Lu Yu spoke in unison.
As a casual remark, I didn't expect these two to be so interested! Li Huizhi's interest also came - after all, after all, she had never eaten such a delicacy since she arrived in Datang, even if there were similar ones, but after all, the taste was far from the same.
Although barbecue has existed thousands of years ago, Datang does not call it barbecue, so they ask.
Li Huizhi eyebrows fluttered and described: "Let me tell me about Xinjiang, that is, the grilled lamb skewers in the Western Regions, the meat is washed and cut first, put some pepper, cumin or something, pickled first, skewered with thin bamboo skewers after flavoring, and roasted on the shelf, and baked on both sides until golden butter is shiny, just do it, not to mention how tender and soft it tastes, spicy and mellow...... Sitting on the boundless grass, looking at the blue sky, blowing the breeze, eating barbecue, singing, dancing......"
Li Huizhi said with her saliva flying, and she couldn't stop swallowing, she missed the taste of Xinjiang lamb skewers too much. xh:.74.240.212
