Chapter 380: Ouchi Famous Tea

Wang Youjun first looked at the half of the tea brick in his hand, and then leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

Generally speaking, really good tea will not be made into tea bricks, really good tea leaves need to be placed with professional storage methods, and only not very good tea leaves will be made into whole tea bricks.

The half of the tea brick sent by Ling Qingfeng has a strong tea aroma, mellow start, strong knots, dark brown and fresh color, but only by appearance, I can't see what kind of tea it is for a while.

"Old Fang, can you see the grade of this tea?" Wang Youjun was a little unsure and asked in a deep voice.

Fang Rui also has a lot of research on tea, if it is about the craft of making tea, he thinks that he is not as good as Wang Youjun, but he still has to be stronger in the identification of tea.

"This piece, this piece is tea?" Fang Rui carefully identified it and found that the tea brick with dark purple in his hand was a little peculiar.

This kind of tea is nearly wide and oval, the tip is blunt and slightly drooping, the leaf edge is slightly turned to the face, the inner quality is slightly thick and brittle, the young buds are slightly strong, and a little tea foam is gently broken in the mouth, and the face of the old man Fang Rui immediately changed.

"Ahem, ahem! I'm not sure how to get this piece of wild tea, or I'll get a dragon ticket and exchange it for you! As soon as Fang Rui said this, his face immediately changed.

"Old Fang, don't talk nonsense! What kind of tea is this, it doesn't matter if you're not sure, just say it! Wang Youjun still knows his old friend very well.

He must have found something extraordinary, but he couldn't be sure, so he started gagging nonsense!

"Then I said it? Alas, you're just talking nonsense! If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not! Fang Rui's eyes had fallen into a state of confusion. The expression on his face is getting more and more strange!

Ling Qingfeng was actually a little curious, this half of the tea brick was estimated to have been in his utility room for several years. He knew that it must be good tea, but he didn't know how good it was.

"I said this is the big red robe of Wuyi. Do you believe it? Fang Rui suddenly said with eager eyes.

"Oh? It turned out to be the big red robe of Wuyi Mountain, that's okay! Why don't I believe it? When Wang Youjun heard this answer, he immediately laughed.

In fact, he also suspected that this tea was a big red robe from Wuyi Mountain, and the leaf shape and quality were quite similar.

"Wait! You're not talking about the big red robe on the mother tree, are you? Wang Youjun suddenly thought of something and blurted out.

Da Hong Pao is a wonderful tea in China, known as the "champion of tea", the king of rock tea, can be called a national treasure.

Those Dahongpao tea trees grafted in later generations are not counted, and the real Dahongpao mother tree is a thousand-year-old tree. A rarity.

There are only 4 trees left on the steep cliff of Jiulong Cave, which are planted in the dam fence built by stone on the mountainside, moistened by the spring water from the rock crevices, without applying fertilizer, growing luxuriantly, and the age of the tree has reached 1,000 years.

There is a special person in May 13 ~ 15 every year on the elevated cloud ladder mining, the output is scarce, only about 11 taels, regarded as a rare treasure. Since the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it has been a tribute to the royal family of all dynasties.

Wuyi big red robe. It belongs to the single fir processing, excellent quality of the "famous fir tree", the finished tea has a strong aroma, mellow taste, and obvious "rock rhyme" characteristics. After drinking, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and they will not go away for a long time.

After brewing, the tea soup is dark orange-yellow, clear and gorgeous; The underside of the leaves is soft and shiny. The leaf margin is vermilion, and the leaf center is pale green with yellow; It has both the sweetness of black tea and the fragrance of green tea. Its most prominent feature is that it is alone in the paradise of rock bone flowers. When drinking, there is an indescribable "rock rhyme".

"Yes, I suspect that this half of the tea brick is made of tea leaves from the mother tree of the big red robe." Fang Rui said with a serious face.

"How is this possible! Brother Fang. You're scared! Do you know how much this half of the tea brick weighs? It's more than half a catty, wake up! ”

Wang Youjun happily patted his old friend's shoulder and said with a look of regret.

If it weren't for the fact that there were half a tea brick here, I would probably have come to this almost impossible conclusion like Fang Rui.

There are only six of the real first-generation Da Hong Pao tea trees in the world, which are protected by the national level, and the annual tea production is less than one kilogram, and they are only used for research purposes, so it is impossible to flow out of the market.

Not to mention Ling Qingfeng's family, even if it is the head of state's family, they will definitely not be able to take out half a catty of red robes in one breath!

It is said that when former US President Nick visited China, the then head of state of China gave him four taels of red robes, and secretly Nick blamed the other party for being stingy. And knowing the allusion, Nixon was in awe.

Da Hong Pao is so precious because its production is very small, and it has been a tribute tea for generations, and it has been inherited to this day.

The production of Da Hong Pao, from nursing, to tea picking, tea making, and tea delivery, has a set of strict responsibility mechanisms, strict work processes, and strict time limits.

There is a designated guardian of the Dahongpao mother tree, who takes care of it all year round, and is responsible for guarding tea, sacrificing tea, and picking tea. The armed police participate in the supervision and security of the whole process of collecting, making and delivering the big red robes.

Tea picking must be carried out by the provincial and municipal governments, tea research institutes, tea guardians and other responsible parties, a ceremony, an inspection, and a signature before picking.

There are six tea trees, the annual output of tea is only 7, 8 taels, the quota of half a catty sent to the Beijing division, the remaining two and three taels handed over to the province, exclusively for the reception of foreign heads of state.

The real top Dahongpao tea only exists in the legends, and even people like Wang Youjun who love tea have only heard of its name and have never seen it.

"This is not a new tea, as long as it is stored properly, such as making it into tea bricks, it can theoretically be finished!" Old man Fang Rui said thoughtlessly.

"Make a big red robe into a tea brick? This, this? Would anyone do such a thing? Wang Youjun suddenly remembered the set of good Chinese dinner knives just now, and immediately stopped talking.

"In fact, if you want to try whether this tea is a superb Da Hong Pao, you only need to brew it once!" Fang Rui muttered to himself.

Wang Youjun suddenly realized, resolutely raised his head, and asked everyone in the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you mind if I make a pot of tea here?" ”

"Don't mind, of course don't!" Everyone in the audience shouted excitedly.

Being able to see Principal Wang Youjun making tea with his own hands, even if he can't drink it, is a great blessing in life, not to mention that it is natural to distinguish the legendary superb tea.

Wang Youjun instructed the waiters of the hotel to prepare a set of fine purple sand tea sets, and then carry a box of the most expensive Evian mineral water.

Everyone watched Wang Youjun's performance on the stage with great amazement.

Wang Youjun first asked people to carry three round stools up, occupied one for himself, asked Old Man Fang Rui to sit on one, and then motioned for Ling Qingfeng to sit down.

Three people, three stools, very tacitly full, directly ignoring Sun Tao's existence, so angry that the kid's eyelids jumped, gritted his teeth and retreated to the side.

Soon, the water boiled.

Wang Youjun stood up and made a gesture of respectfully inviting the guests to the upper seat, which was the first process of the tea ceremony.

Ling Qingfeng is a junior, so this superior position was naturally given to Old Man Fang Rui.

Then, Wang Youjun began to scald the teapot with boiling water, and this second process is also known as Mengchen Mulin.

This is also quite exquisite, Meng Chen is the Ming Dynasty purple clay pot maker, later generations will be the famous teapot as Meng Chen. To put it bluntly, you have to take a bath in the teapot to show cleansing.

Subsequently, Wang Youjun cut a small piece of the half of the tea brick with a tea knife and put it into the purple clay pot. The name of these three processes is called oolong entering the palace, and the emphasis is on the lightness of the movement, which is pleasing to the eye and pleasant.

Then, Wang Youjun stood up and raised the long-spout pot filled with boiling water to flush the water, and this fourth process is called hanging pot high flushing, which can make the tea quickly turn over and be heated evenly.

The fifth process, the spring breeze blows.

Wang Youjun gently scraped off the white foam on the surface of the pot lid to make the tea fresh and clean. At this moment, the mood of the tea brewer must also remain calm as water, and the ancient well does not wave, which requires years of concentration.

The sixth process is to re-wash the fairy face, that is, to pour the teapot with boiling water, which not only cleans the outer surface of the pot, but also raises the temperature of the pot.

The source of "rewashing fairy face" is a stone carving in Yunwo of Wuyi Mountain, which has undergone a heavy wash, and the tea is like a human heart.

The seventh process, Ruochen out of the bath, that is, scalding the teacup. Ruochen was a person in the early Qing Dynasty, famous for making teacups, and later generations called the precious tea Ruochen. Therefore, when this process comes out, it is ready to serve tea to the guests who taste tea.

In the eighth process, the jade liquid is returned to the pot, and the brewed tea soup is poured back into the pot to evenly distribute the tea soup.

In the ninth process, Guan Gong patrols the city, pouring tea back and forth to each cup in turn. Don't look at this simple pouring of tea, it requires careful and steady hands, just right.

Wang Youjun's last action came out, his clothes were flying, he was handsome, and he had an indescribable demeanor.

With a cup of fragrant tea in hand, the tea soup is dark orange-yellow, clear and gorgeous, with the sweetness of black tea and the fragrance of green tea.

And this aroma is rich like an orchid, high and long-lasting.

Old man Fang Rui brought his nose to the teacup, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

The entrance is sweet and smooth, and the taste is full of charm.

"Good tea, peerless good tea! If it weren't for the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, I would pay you my head! Old man Fang Rui said with a fixed face.

Wang Youjun nodded first, then shook his head again, and said, "Regardless of whether this is a big red robe or not, anyway, I know that it is a top-notch good tea, so it's not enough!" Why bother with fame? ”

Fang Rui sighed, and suddenly understood what Wang Youjun meant.

Such a rare good thing in the world, if it is spread, it will be a crime, and maybe it will cause this little doll a lot of trouble.

So the thin old man also nodded, and shut up and didn't mention any big red robes.

At this time, Sun Tao, who had been standing next to him, was not happy, and deliberately said loudly: "You two old things, don't pretend to be ghosts!" Who doesn't know that the big red robe is for Ouchi, I want to know who has such a great ability to steal it! ”

Before the words fell, Ling Qingfeng had already flashed forward, and an unceremonious slap was slapped on Sun Tao's face.

This slap was so crisp and loud that everyone in the audience was stunned. I felt really relieved, and there was an uproar. (To be continued......)
