Chapter 905: Princess Jinpeng 120,000 Years Ago (Ask for Subscription!) )
After talking to Cai Yong for a while, Xu Yinglong handed him a storage ring, which was full of wine and blades, and then Xu Yinglong left the guild headquarters alone.
Although he knew that Tianxuan was doing this to repay his favor, Xu Yinglong still decided to go and see her, after all, this little fox had helped him a lot this time.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion basically knew Xu Yinglong, and the guards at the door did not stop Xu Yinglong after seeing him, but walked towards the mansion with Xu Yinglong, and sent Xu Yinglong to the living room of the City Lord's Mansion all the time.
Drinking the tea of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Yinglong couldn't help frowning, there is also tea on the Medicine King, although the type is different from the earth, it tends to be more spiritual tea, and the tea on the earth is a mortal tea that has degraded its spirituality. But whether it is spiritual tea or mortal tea, in short, it is still tea. It's just that the tea on Medicine King is different from the tea on Earth in terms of how it is made, and the way to drink tea is also different.
Tea on Yakuo is usually plucked and dried naturally, boiled in boiling water when drunk, and some messy things such as salt and sugar are added to it. Due to the limited process of salt and sugar production on Yaowang, the quality of the salt and sugar produced is also very poor, and the addition of these average quality condiments makes the tea taste strange.
Xu Yinglong didn't feel anything before, but since the rebirth of the earth and tasted the roasted tea of the earth, Xu Yinglong was very uninterested in this kind of boiled tea on the medicine king.
Just as Xu Yinglong frowned, Tianxuan came to the front hall with two beautiful maids. Seeing Xu Yinglong's frowning, he said with a smile: "Senior brother, what's wrong." Why is it so bitter and hateful? ”
Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just think the taste of this tea is a bit rushed." I'm just not used to it! ”
"Oh, although the tea here is not as good as the Fushou Ling Tea in the Central Plains Sacred Domain, it can be regarded as a first-class good tea in the Southern Regions, why can't the junior brother get used to it?" Tianxuan asked with a smile.
Xu Yinglong shook his head and said: "Tea is good tea, but the tea making method is too rough, and it has lost the natural aroma and characteristics of the original tea, plus these messy condiments, tea is not called tea!" ”
"So the junior brother knows a better way to make tea, and can retain the natural pure fragrance of tea?" Tianxuan looked at Xu Yinglong and said.
Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "I know a little." In fact, tea leaves are best stir-fried, especially green tea! ”
"Stir-fry?"
"Yes, it is fried, and the fried tea is divided into raw pots, two green pots, and cooked pots, and the three pots are connected and operated sequentially." Xu Yinglong said.
In fact, the time when roasted tea was popular on the earth was only a few hundred years, according to historical records, roasted tea originated in the Ming Dynasty. The deliberate pursuit of the original characteristic aroma and taste of tea is one of the characteristics of the Ming people.
Before the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of tea was generally "steamed green method". Although this method is simple, it has a certain impact on the taste of the tea. The Ming Dynasty was dissatisfied with the production and drinking methods of the predecessors that made the tea fragrance lose its naturalness and innocence, and even put forward fierce criticism: "That is, the tea festival." During the Tang and Song dynasties, the ointment, wax face, Jing collar, dragon group, or to grasp the subtlety, straight money hundreds of thousands. It is also cherished, and the more it is milled, the more the tea is lost. Mixed with incense? It was not as good as today's people who are good at frying and roasting, and do not damage the authenticity. Therefore, the mulberry and the "Book of Tea" can be imagined in its style. Regarded as the opening of the mountain, its licking, grinding, Luo, then all the laws, but not enough to imitate. ”
Under the influence of this dissatisfaction, the ancients of the Ming Dynasty used their wisdom and finally invented a more advanced method of frying greens.
"Can you talk about the specific production process, you know that Senior Sister is also a tea lover, and when I heard you say this, Senior Sister also wants to try how tempting this roasted green tea is!" Tianxuan said with a smile.
Xu Yinglong nodded and said, "Why not, a special cauldron should be used for stir-frying tea, which is an inclined plate pot." The raw pot mainly plays the role of killing, the temperature of the pot is very high, and the amount of leaves depends on the temperature of the pot and the level of operation technology, generally within one catty. The frying method is to use a fried tea broom to rotate and stir-fry in the pot, and the leaves are rotated and turned, evenly heated and dehydrated, and they should be turned quickly, and the force is even, combined with shaking the tea leaves, and the time is about one-fifth of the column of incense. When the leaves are soft and dark green, they can be swept into the second pot. ”
"The second green pot mainly plays the role of continuing to finish and initially kneading the strips, and the temperature of the pot is slightly lower than that of the raw pot. Because the friction between the tea and the wall of the pot is relatively large, the force should be greater than that of the raw pot, so the leaves should be rotated in the pot with the roasted tea broom, and begin to roll into strips, and at the same time, it should be combined with shaking the tea ball to ventilate the heat. When the leaves are shrunk into strips, the tea juice sticks to the leaf surface and has a sticky feel, and it can be swept into the cooking pot. ”
"The cooked pot mainly plays the role of further making fine tea strips, and the pot temperature is lower than that of the second green pot. At this time, the leaves are already relatively soft, stir-fry a few times with a roasted tea broom, and the leaves will drill into the inner bamboo branches, which is conducive to making strips, and if you shake it slightly, the leaves will be scattered into the pot again. In this way, the repeated operation makes the leaves swallow inside and outside the bamboo broom, and skillfully combines the loss of water from finishing and kneading into strips. Fry until the cord is tight and thin, emitting a tea fragrance, about three or four dry, and then you can get out of the pot. ”
Hearing Xu Yinglong explain this method of stir-frying tea in such detail, Tianxuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you, junior brother, after my tea leaves from Qingqiu Mountain are fried, I will definitely give them to my junior brother to taste!" ”
Xu Yinglong said with a smile: "Then I'll thank Senior Sister for being here!" ”
"Say thank you and see you, by the way, I haven't had time to congratulate my junior brother on breaking through again, I didn't expect my junior brother to surpass me in such a short time!" Tianxuan said with emotion.
Xu Yinglong shook his head and said: "Although my current realm is the same as that of my senior sister, the combat power of the demon clan is not comparable to that of the human race, and the challenge of leapfrogging is not a problem, so in terms of combat effectiveness, I may not be the opponent of senior sister." ”
"That's just the characteristics of the demon race, although the human race is generally inferior to the demon race in terms of talent, but it is far inferior to the human race in terms of growth, especially in terms of high-level monks, the demon race can't be compared with the human race at all." Tianxuan said in a deep voice.
"Hehe, what does it matter who is stronger or weaker between the human race and the demon race, anyway, now that humans/demons coexist, there is no possibility of fighting at all, and there is no point in saying this." Xu Yinglong said.
"What the junior brother said is, by the way, junior brother, senior sister has something I want to ask you for a favor, I don't know if it's okay?" Tianxuan spoke.
"Senior sister, if there is anything I need to serve, just ask!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
"Senior sister wants to go back to the secret realm of the master to cultivate for a period of time!" Tianxuan is colorful.
"That's fine, it's just that Senior Sister is leaving again as soon as she comes back, will it be a little too anxious?" Xu Yinglong asked with a smile.
"Well, it's a bit of a hurry, but Senior Sister can't help it, if you don't go to the training camp for a while, it's too late!" Tianxuan said with a frown.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Xu Yinglong hurriedly asked.
"Does the junior brother know about the Demon Clan's Ten Thousand Demon Tournament?"
"The Demon Tournament? Haven't heard of it! Xu Yinglong said.
"The Ten Thousand Demon Championship is a grand event that the demon clan has to carry out every hundred years, mainly to test the cultivation of the younger generation of the demon clan, and the participants are all young masters of the major demon clans, and the age is generally required to be under two hundred years old, and at the same time, the strongest person of the younger generation is in charge of the lord of the hundred-year holy city." Tianxuan explained.
"Look, senior sister means to participate in this competition?"
"Well, I'm going to fight in place of the Qingqiu Fox Clan!"
"I heard worry and uneasiness from Senior Sister's tone, with Senior Sister's current cultivation, could there be anyone more powerful than you?" Xu Yinglong asked curiously.
"If you want to say that the average young master of the demon clan doesn't pay attention to it, just take the situation of the last competition, the highest cultivation is only the cultivation of the early stage of the demon emperor. Although there are many young kings participating in the war this year, there should be no strong people above the big demon! ”
"What is Senior Sister worried about?" Xu Yinglong said.
"What really worries Senior Sister is a princess of the Golden-winged Dapeng clan!" Tianxuan said in a solemn tone.
"What's so special about this Jinpeng princess that she attaches so much importance to her senior sister?" Xu Yinglong asked in surprise.
"What makes this princess special is that she is not from this era, but was born 120,000 years ago!" Tianxuan said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
