Bag Wang Gong raised his head and shook his head: "No, this is our Jiang Zuo's place, this tea was first recorded in the Western Han Dynasty, but it was drunk as medicine at that time, and later people found that this thing is very effective, it can refresh the mind, improve the mind and sleepy, and it is also good for people with a lot of phlegm in lung disease." ”

"During the Wei and Jin dynasties, celebrities and gentlemen were romantic, and the gate valve system had been formed, not only the emperors and nobles gathered into a fashion, but also the general officials and even scholars were proud of boasting about the rich, and the multi-effect anointing Liang was thick. Under such circumstances, some people of insight raised the issue of "maintaining integrity." As a result, Lu Na and others replaced wine with tea. It is more able to show the noble ambition and unique taste of these celebrities, this way of drinking tea, but it has become popular in the south. ”

Huan Xuan has never heard of this, he only knows that in the north, in addition to wine, the most popular is all kinds of dairy products, since the Wuhu Chaohua, the Hu and Han in the north have lived together for a hundred years, Hu Feng is strong, dairy products are popular, even if it is an ordinary person, drinking some yogurt, eating some cheese is also very normal, but this tea is extremely rare, so when I heard it, I suddenly realized, and nodded again and again.

Wang Gong finally found that there was a place where Huan Xuan almost didn't know anything, and he was happy in his heart, so he simply said a few more words: "This Jiangdong tea ceremony is also related to our Qing talk and metaphysics, which is a philosophical trend in the Wei and Jin dynasties, mainly based on Lao Zhuang Thought and Confucian scriptures. ”

"Most of the metaphysicians are so-called celebrities, who attach importance to their family, appearance, and manners, and love the lightness of nothingness and mystery. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River have been temporarily satisfied, lingering among the green mountains and beautiful rivers all day long, and the light wind has continued to develop, so that many light homes have appeared. ”

"At first, there were many drunkards in the Qing Tan family, and later, the style of Qing Tan gradually developed to ordinary literati, these people were indifferent to fame and fortune, quiet and far-reaching, and boiling a pot of tea, sitting and talking, is the most famous and gentlemanly behavior."

"In the past, celebrities only needed to drink alcohol and be familiar with Lisao, but now, the most popular thing in Jiangdong is this kind of sencha theory. By the way, I heard that there is not a Bliss Villa in Jiangling City, Jingzhou, and these Jiangdong sons and daughters often go, why haven't you seen this thing? ”

Huan Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "What celebrities are there who come to me?" It's all a hungry ghost in the gang, drinking and taking five stones, and then putting on a mask and stripping naked, and going around with singers and dancers in those buildings--He, I want to vomit when I see it, and these things can also be like dogs? Secretary Wang, don't be kidding, okay? ”

Wang Gong frowned: "How can this be?" I have also come into contact with some celebrities in Jiangzuo, such as Yin Zhongkan, Xi Hui, etc., all of whom are very good literati, and they should never go to you. ”

Huan Xuan thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I really don't have an impression of these people, probably the real celebrities will not come to our Jingzhou gold cave." ”

The two were talking, Wang Gong broke off a small piece of tea cake and put it in a small flat-bottomed bronze vessel at hand, and this small bronze vessel was only the size of a palm, stretching out a long handle, a bit like a pan in later generations, Wang Gong took a brazier, baked this small flat-bottomed copper pot on the fire, and moved his hand from time to time to make the entire bottom of the pot be evenly heated, and the tea cake in the pot also began to gradually break under the action of heat, dried, and became a little powdery.

The first time Huan Xuan saw this so-called tea ceremony, his eyes widened and he looked carefully, only to see Wang Gong take a paper bag, pour the powdered tea into the bag, and put it aside to cool down.

Then Wang Gong took a small stone mill that was very finely polished, a bit like the medicine pestle mortar in the medicine shop, poured the tea powder into the small stone mill again, and began to pound it with a small tea pestle made of jade.

Huan Xuan was stunned for a moment, at the beginning of the roasted tea, he looked more like he used to smoke Wushi San, and now he was tinkering like this, it was more like seeing the herbs in the medicine in the medicine shop.

Wang Gong tinkered for a while, took a copper bowl, covered with a thin layer of gauze, obviously used for filtration, and then carefully poured the tea powder in the small stone mill into it, this time Huan Xuan's nose could smell a faint fragrance of tea, he closed his eyes, and enjoyed the smell very much.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the water in the tea kettle on the fire had begun to make some noises, Huan Xuan looked at this tea kettle carefully, and saw that this kettle was made of copper, the color was thick and atmospheric, and the size was moderate, like a small medicine jar.

The surface of the water in the kettle began to have some fishtail-like fine lines, like a calm river being swept by a breeze. Wang Gong happened to strain the tea powder at this time, took another bowl, sprinkled some white powder into it, and said while sprinkling: "Master Huan, you look carefully, this is called the first boil, and salt should be added to the water at this time." ”

Huan Xuanqi said: "Why do you put salt in the tea soup?" ”

Wang Gong smiled: "I don't know too well, this is called sencha ceremony, anyway, those who taught me tea ceremony use it like this, and I also tried it after learning it a few times." ”

As he spoke, Wang Gong took an empty basin, picked up the wooden spoon in the tea kettle, and scooped out some of the floating biotite-like things on the edge of the kettle and sprinkled them on the ground on the side, and then the water in the kettle became louder, and began to bubble up continuously like a spring.

Wang Gong hurriedly scooped out a few spoonfuls of water, put them in a copper basin on the side, and said with a smile: "It was called the first boiling just now, and now it is called the second boiling." ”

Wang Gong said while constantly stirring the soup in the pot with a wooden spoon, and then picked up the small bowl of tea powder just now and sprinkled the tea powder into the center of the kettle, and the water in the kettle also boiled more and more with the continuous heating below, and soon, it became like a wave and boiled.

Wang Gong smiled slightly, added back the spoonful of water that was poured back into the copper basin just now, and added the warm water to the boiling water, which immediately calmed down the almost boiling tea soup temporarily, and Wang Gong wiped the sweat on his head while saying, "This is the three boils." ”

Huan Xuan muttered secretly in his heart: Is it so troublesome to eat tea, but now he shows a very curious look, nodding again and again, and has some expectations for the taste of this tea in his heart.

Wang Gong picked up the gauntlets with thick white cloth on both sides of the tea kettle, took the tea kettle away from the brazier, and then took out two delicate celadon tea bowls, poured tea into them, and soon, a bowl of steaming tea soup was placed in front of Huan Xuan.
