Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" records: "Tea is drinking, originating from Shennong's family, and smelling in Lu Zhougong", indicating that China has used tea for at least 4,000 years. However, after the Spring and Autumn Period, until the Han Dynasty, tea has been broken for hundreds of years, after the end of the Han Dynasty, the two Jin Dynasty and the north and the south advocate Qingxu, and the scholars talk about tea for pleasure, so tea gradually becomes a popular symbol and begins to enter the public eye. At that time, the records of tea drinking were also increasing, such as "Guangling Wu Lao Biography" said: "When Emperor Jin and Yuan, there was an old grandmother who mentioned a device every day, left it in the city, and the city people bid", which shows that drinking tea is not uncommon.

It's just that the way to drink tea is simple and rude, all of which are poured directly into boiling water after grinding the tea leaves into powder, and then adding some salt, onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments. After the Tang Dynasty, it became popular to boil tea, which was a little progressive, only salt and ginger were put in, and other spices were very clever. Then the Song Dynasty began to make tea popular, and various condiments finally withdrew from the stage of tea, retaining the aroma and quality of the tea itself.

It can be seen that people's perception of tea has gone through a lengthy process, and after careful consideration, Xu You did not plan to directly adopt the fried green method invented in the Ming Dynasty, but first used the steaming method of the Tang Dynasty to improve the current tea drinking habits in the first step.

It is not difficult to steam green, Lu Yu's description is very detailed: sunny, picking, steaming, pounding, shooting, baking, wearing, sealing, and drying. Based on Xu You's understanding and after discussing with the old tea farmers, the theory was combined with practice, and the order of steaming green method was determined as: steaming tea, unblocking, pounding tea, molding, patting, molding, drying, perforating, baking, wearing, and sealing tea.

Then began to experiment, at first a few times, no accident failed, the heat and techniques were not in place, resulting in too much loss of tea fragrance, dry and tasteless to drink, not as good as the previous tea soup, so some tea farmers actively suggested putting seasonings in the tea, Xu You sternly refused.

As a tea taster who came from later generations, he really couldn't accept the practice of putting spices in the tea, and this trend must be changed.

"Go on! I don't believe it can't be made! ”

"Is there no one in the Lu clan who is bullied by the erector?"

Gu Yun visited the Lu family and said the conditions set by Xu You, Lu Zong, Zhou and Lu Ding'an didn't speak, and Lu Dingxian, who was the same age as Lu Xu but a generation older, was suddenly furious, and said: "With Xu You's ambition, Xuanji Academy must have a grand regulation, and it is a great fortune to be able to build it in three or five years, not to mention that it is limited to two months to complete, and the use will have to be multiplied several times...... Uncle, sixth brother, this is a bottomless abyss, how much does it take to fill it? ”

Gu Yun said in a deep voice: "Seventeenth uncle, Qingfu has murderous intent because of the literary dispute, and what he has done, the gentleman despises it, and he should be severely punished according to the law." Fortunately, Wei Zhi is reasonable, focusing on the relationship between the two families with Gu Lu, not to blame in the past, magnanimous, how can he deceive people? In addition, donating to build the Xuanji Academy and revive Confucianism is also a righteous act for the benefit of the country and the people......"

"Severe punishment? How to punish severely? Kill that Huang San, eradicate it for six days; Kill Xu You, Xu You is not dead, at most it is malicious, but Qing Fu is not a saint, malicious and does not violate the law, isn't it that Xu You is rampant and presumptuous, and he has annoyed Qing Fu many times, will it attract the disaster of killing? ”

Gu Yun was silent.

Lu Dingxian and Lu Xu are close in age, but their fame is very different, this will be full of righteous indignation, it seems to be speaking for Lu Xu, but in fact, he deliberately wants him to ruin his reputation. The filth in the big family, Gu Yun was too lazy to participate, anyway, it was Lu Zongzhou who made the last decision, no matter how cheerful Lu Dingxian was, it was just buzzing flies and insects, and it didn't help.

After half a ring, Lu Zongzhou stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "Just do what Xu You said, my old bones have rested for too long, and it is time to move......

"Uncle!"

Lu Dingxian wanted to persuade again, Lu Zongzhou said with a smile: "Building a academy is a thousand years of business, all scholars should support it, and virtuous children can't be arrogant!" Ding'an, you go to Qiantang for a trip in the past two days, first meet with Xu You, and talk about your general ideas, as long as you don't exceed the system, all the expenses of Xuanji Academy will be taken care of by the Lu family. ”

Lu Ding'an was puzzled: "Two months? ”

"Why, you can't do it?"

Lu Dingan hurriedly got up and said, "The child must be done!" ”

When sending Gu Yun away, Lu Dingxian squinted and sneered: "Gu Taishou, don't forget that your surname is Gu, and you will be the son-in-law of the Lu family soon." Gu Lu Zhu Zhang, four surnames in one, for a prostitute who can't be on the stage, he scavenged so much money from the Lu family, and he had to lose the face of his uncle, which is too partial......"

Gu Yun naturally also heard the rumors outside, her handsome face was as beautiful as a woman's face, she didn't see joy or anger, her hands were behind her back, her posture was straight, and she said indifferently: "Seventeenth uncle, the four surnames are one, I am a junior, I can't do anything with you." I shouldn't have heard all of your nonsense today, but," he suddenly turned around, his eyes full of majesty, and said: "If there is a next time, I can guarantee that even if Qingfu becomes a waste from now on, you will never be able to make a name for yourself in the Lu Clan!" Remember! ”

"You...... You! ”

Lu Dingxian's face was blue with anger, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything excessive. As the most popular next-generation leader of the four surnames of Wu County, Gu Yun, he can't afford to offend!

What's more, this idiot who only knew how to paint in the past now has the power of a few points, which makes people look away and dare not disobey.

Waiting for Gu Yun's ox cart to go away, Lu Dingxian smashed his fist on Zhu Men with anger, his eyebrows distorted terribly. He hated Gu Yun and hated himself, as an elder, but he was suppressed by the younger boy and didn't even dare to say anything to refute, this is a great shame, don't report it, swear not to be a person!

After more than ten days, Xu You did not show up, and Lu Dingan avoided it after coming to Qiantang, all activities were accompanied by He Wei, and went to Lingxiu Mountain, which was more than ten miles away from Mingyu Mountain, and looked at the construction drawings required for construction.

"He Langjun, have you roughly calculated the cost?"

He Wei called Ji Qinghe and motioned for him to give an answer, Ji Qinghe took out a thick stack of account books and said, "If it becomes a prototype, it is estimated that it will take tens of millions of dollars; If you see a clue, it will cost twenty or thirty million dollars; If you have a momentum, at least 50 million dollars! ”

Lu Dingan sat for a long time and said with a wry smile: "He Langjun, it's a good account!" ”

After a few days, Lu Xu was finally released from prison safely, what agreement was reached between Crouching Tiger Division and Lu Family, Xu You did not ask, anyway, from the joy in Wang Fu's letter, it can be seen that this extortion has gained a lot. The letter also said that Lu Xu's knees were broken, and whether he could walk in the future depended on luck, and it would take at least a year or two to heal and recover. It was Lu Dingxian who picked him up from prison, and when he saw Lu Xu's tragic situation and said a few inappropriate words, Wang Fu said that he would pay attention to this person in private, so that Xu You could rest assured that there would be no unpredictable consequences.

Zhu Zhi's letter arrived in Mingyushan almost at the same time as Wang Fu's letter, and compared to Wang Fu's embarrassed and treacherous joy that could not be hidden between the lines, Zhu Zhi's letter seemed much more rational and mature. He first expressed concern about Xu You's assassination, and then praised him for his forbearance, but the focus of the entire letter was not on the conflict with the Lu family, but on several key suggestions for the Xuanji Academy. These questions are all Lao Cheng's serious words, flashing with the wisdom and understanding of reading all the world, which shows that Zhu Zhi is really interested in Xu You, rather than perfunctory.

Xu You wrote letters in reply, telling Wang Fu to pay close attention to Li Xianji, and talked to Zhu Zhishen about his plans for Xuanji Academy, and then quickly put these things behind. For more than a month, I lived in the same room with the tea farmers day and night, and finally before Gu Yun's wedding, the first generation of tea brewed by steaming green method was made, both in terms of fragrance and taste, it was countless times more delicious than the popular raw tea. At the same time, the mold cast by the Tiangongfang made the loose tea into tea bricks, and named it Qingque Tongue, and stacked it into more than 100 bricks to load the bream, and went up the river to Wu County.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Gu Yun was about to get married, and Xu You set off as soon as he went to Wu County to prepare for the wedding.

This is still the first wedding that Xu You participated in after being reborn, and many etiquettes have been practiced many times in Mingyu Mountain to avoid showing ugliness and smashing Xu Jiudou's signboard when the time comes.

At the same time, he traveled with Qingming, Winter Solstice, Fang Sinian and Su Xi Ugly Slave, when he went down the mountain, Yu Su hugged the ugly slave for a long time, came to the Southern Dynasty for these years, the ugly slave was the first time to leave her sight, but with Xu You out to play, Yu Su was very relieved.

Perhaps, than when I was in the Northern Dynasty, I was more at ease!
