Chapter 223 Pretending to be a master in front of foreigners

There is no way, I can only pray that Tracy will stop talking nonsense in Fei Lengcui's ear, this lifelong event, Gao Xi used to allow others to get involved, it was because he didn't have the ability to find a suitable woman, but now it's different, he doesn't want anyone to get involved.

When I walked near the house, the people in the kitchen came out, said hello to a few girls in their busy schedules, and then asked Gao Xi to arrange for everyone to sit down. The tables have been set up, there are two tables of dishes, the tables are not big, basically if you sit around, as long as the arm length is kept average, then you can definitely reach the opposite dish.

Of course, in order to take care of a few foreigners, Gao Xi still bought some dishes, knives and forks and other tableware from Bozeman, if a few foreigners are really not suitable for eating a big pot of rice, you can also get some food in your own tableware, just like eating a buffet, but everyone is still sitting at the same table, it is also the same lively.

The table was set up on the grass outside, there was a breeze here, and there was no big sun, and eating food and looking at the scenery felt much more comfortable than in the living room.

"Don't be in a hurry now, we just came, and it's only twelve o'clock in an hour, so let's eat?" Seeing that the table had been set up, Fei Lengcui asked a little puzzled.

"In our place, we have to have some tea and chat before eating, and we have dried fruit plates to kill time." Gossi explained.

"What dried fruit saucer?" Human curiosity is very strong, and this is no exception even for Fei Leng Cui.

"The so-called dried fruit saucer, in fact, is a dessert for the price of rice, you can think so, there are usually four or five plates, which are put in fish skin peanuts, snacks, all kinds of fruits, sugar and other things, is to pad the stomach, and then there are cold dishes, listen to me when you eat cold dishes later, you have to drink liquor. Don't worry, this liquor is not strong, it is my own fruit wine, and it tastes warm and refreshing. It's very comfortable, don't be afraid. Gao Xi reminded as he explained.

"Whatever the guest wants, well, that's the way it goes. I heard from a Chinese person. Fei Lengcui thought for a long time, and then popped up such a word.

"Hahaha, so to speak, everything will be served in the way of our hometown today, you just wait to eat delicious food, there are a lot of dishes, so don't eat all at once, you can eat slowly, don't worry." Gossi laughed.

"Then I don't like tea, how about you make me a cup of coffee?" Clement said with a bitter face.

Gaucy scratched Clement's nose with his fingers and laughed, "You girl is talking nonsense. I don't know who came to me last time and stole my good big red robe, and actually said that I don't like to drink, you hand over my big red robe! ”

"What is the big red robe? Can you drink it with clothes? Asked suspiciously.

"Da Hong Pao is the name of a kind of tea, quite famous, and the history is very long, I calculate, it should be much longer than the history of your country." Gossi explained.

"Is that amazing?"

"Of course, in the eighteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Ding Xian, a son of Juzi, went to Beijing to take the exam, and suddenly fell ill when passing by Wuyi Mountain. The abdominal pain was unbearable, and he happened to meet a monk in Tianxin Yongle Temple, and the monk took the tea leaves he had hidden to brew and drink with him, and the pain stopped. After winning the top prize. Came to thank the monk, asked about the origin of the tea, after learning about it, he took off the big red robe and circled the tea bush three times, and draped it on the tea tree, so he got the name of 'big red robe'. The champion took the big red robe in a tin can and brought it back to the capital. ”

"After the champion returned to the court, he happened to meet the queen's illness. Hundreds of doctors are invalid, then take out the can of tea and offer, the queen after drinking the body gradually recovered, the emperor was overjoyed, gave a red robe, ordered the champion to personally go to the Nine Dragons to drape on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace, and at the same time send someone to take care of it, and all the tea was collected to pay tribute, and it was not allowed to be hidden. Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Da Hong Pao has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family, and the reputation of Da Hong Pao has also spread to the world. Legend has it that every year the officials sent by the imperial court wore a big red robe, and the robe was untied and hung on the tree of tribute tea, so it was called the big red robe. ”

"What year is it?" Clement asked.

"Calculate the time, it should be 1385, you can see for yourself, how old is it." Gao Xi said proudly.

Although he has only started drinking this big red robe since he had money, but you get what you pay for, good tea is good tea, and the taste is different from ordinary tea.

"Wow, they're so old." Natasha said in surprise.

"No, this tea not only has a long history, but also the price is not cheap. There are few big red robes in history, and the recognized big red robes are only the few trees on the rock wall of Jiulong. In the best years, the yield of tea is only a few hundred grams. During the Republic of China, one catty was worth 64 silver dollars, which was 4,000 catties of rice at that time. A few years ago, there was a Jiulong Dahongpao tea auctioned in the market, and 20 grams were auctioned at a sky-high price of 156,800 yuan, creating the highest record of tea unit price. Gao Xi nodded.

"150,000 yuan RMB should be converted into US dollars, it should be 20,000 or 30,000, 20 grams is so expensive, this is too valuable." Clement really didn't know that the big red robe she stole was so valuable, and she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said, if it is really calculated according to this price, she can be sentenced to prison.

"Isn't it, thinking that when Nixon visited China, the Chinese leader at that time presented him with four taels of tea leaves from the mother plant of the big red robe. Because Nixon did not know that the mother plant of the big red robe was extremely valuable because of its small production, he privately complained that the leader was stingy. Later, someone explained to Nixon, saying, "We have already given away the 'half wall.'" And told him the origin of the big red robe, and Nixon was in awe when he heard it. Gao Xi couldn't say so much in front of girls before, but now he is confident, he is very confident in speaking, and he can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't feel that he can't open his mouth at all.

"How many grams is four taels of tea leaves?" Clement asked, tilting his head.

"Well, one pound is five hundred grams, one tael is fifty grams, and four taels is two hundred grams of tea. If calculated at 150,000 per 20 grams, that's 1.5 million! This was simply too precious for China at that time. Gaucy replied.

"Then is there any tea left in this big red robe?" Natasha was a little moved by what Gao Xi said, originally she didn't drink tea, but today she also wants to taste what this tea is like.

"I want it too, I want it too!" Clement said, holding his hands aloft.

"You girl still dare to ask for it, don't forget, my tea leaves are 500 grams, and they belong to the best red robe, you can calculate it yourself, you can sentence it for a few years." Gao Xi didn't have a good airway.

"Ahh No, Brother Xi, you really have to send me to jail? ”

"If I really send you to prison, I guess Sister Fei Lengcui will have to find me desperately. If I hadn't acquiesced in your permission to take those tea leaves, you would have wanted to steal them, and there would have been no door. Remember, tell me what you want in the future, don't dare to take it randomly, if I don't know, it's not good to wronged others. Of course, Gaucy won't sue Clement, but there is some truth to be said.

"Hehe, it's better to be Brother Xi." Clement said with a smile.

"You girl, next time you dare to take things indiscriminately, I won't come to your brother Xi to intercede, you can do it yourself. By the way, Gao Xi, make me a cup of tea too, isn't it a lobbyist who does whatever he wants, you all drink tea, and I don't like to drink coffee, and I'm also a little interested in the tea you said. Fei Lengcui also said.

Gao Xi smiled, and after returning to the house, he took out some big red robes from the space, these are the baby tea he brought from China, which Lu Chengfeng bought for him, Lu Chengfeng's house is near Jiulongyao, as long as he has money, he has a way to get it.

But even so, there is not much tea, Gao Xi also specially asked Lu Chengfeng to get a few seedlings for himself, which have been planted in the space, and now they have begun to grow tea leaves, and in the future, when drinking Dahongpao oolong tea, there is no need to bother so much.

Usually the family does not pay so much attention to drinking tea, just brew it casually, but Gao Xi is now learning to gradually understand life, although it is unlikely to fully express the ancient tea art, but some attention is still necessary, what tea set to make what kind of tea, how to drink this tea, these have been carefully studied. Now he has more free time, and he has time to do these idle things.

"This is the purple clay pot, I heard my mother mention you before, it looks so beautiful." Natasha also asked when she saw Gao Xi take out a set of tea sets.

"Well, that's right, I bought this set of purple clay pots for more than 200,000 yuan, although it is a little expensive, but it is worth it. I will try to make the process of making tea as simple as possible, but you should be careful when you drink it later, and don't drink it too quickly. Da Hong Pao is famous, so many people will be a little impatient when they drink tea. At this time, in fact, it is still necessary to calm the mood, have a sense of appreciation, playfulness, slowly inhale the tea soup, slowly taste it, and swallow it slowly. Calm down and feel the sensation in your throat and lower abdomen. Gao Xi nodded, and then began to make tea.

In fact, watching him make tea is also a kind of enjoyment, although this kind of tea is not as complicated as kung fu tea, but it is also very particular, and it is a practice that strives to reflect the deliciousness of Da Hong Pao, which is a must.

"Is it so complicated for you to make tea every time?" Clement looked anxious and asked.

"In the past, when I didn't have money, I drank tea, just brew a little casually, and the tea I drank was generally ordinary tea, and I didn't pay much attention to it. At that time, I was tired of life, so who would care about these enjoyments. It was only after I came to the United States that I gradually learned to enjoy the process of drinking tea. Tea is not finished when you drink it, it is the same as drinking red wine, there must be a tasting process, otherwise the ancients would not call drinking tea tea. Gao Xi smiled. (To be continued.) )
