Chapter 161: Tea and Tu

Chang'an City, East City.

On the opposite side of the Wencheng Fan Shop, a new store opened, but instead of buying and selling Wencheng fans, it was something called 'tea'.

On that huge plaque, the word "tea" is written impressively.

What is that? It can't be a typo, right? A literati couldn't help but say: "I learned at the age of three, memorized the "Thousand Character Text" at the age of five, could compose poems at the age of seven, and could compose lyrics at the age of ten. ”

"Is it a typo?" A gentleman asked, "Could it be that the shopkeeper made a mistake?" ”

"Could it be that this is a tuji?"

"No, it's not Tu, I think so, it should be something else."

"Just go in and see."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A group of scholars gathered around, and their faces couldn't help but show a trace of doubt. The word "tea" has not yet become popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it was not until the Yongwei period that the word tea began to be written into books, and the word "tea" was first seen in Su Gong's "Tang Materia Medica", so this word is known by some people, but not everyone knows it, and the tea of the Tang Dynasty is now written as "荼".

Now this tea word can be said to appear for the first time in history.

The tea writing in the Zhenguan period is 荼, which is pronounced "tú, shū, chÑ, yé". 槚, bitter also. The names of various places are also different, and in the early Tang Dynasty, the word tea had just begun to appear, so not everyone knew it, so a group of scholars and literati couldn't help but show a trace of curiosity on their faces.

At this time, a doctor walked out of it, arched his hand to the literati present, and said, "The small one is the tea doctor in this tea shop, you must have guessed what we bought in the store, right?" That's right, the thing we sell in our store is tea! ”

"Tea? What is tea? A soldier who had been rushing for the exam still had a puzzled look on his face.

"Stupid, tea is Tu, the most popular drink in the Tang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven Yuting, the princes Yutu, the doctor's service, and the ceremony." The person next to him hurriedly reminded the other party and said, "Tea Tongtuya." ”

"Tu, bitter herbs." Another scholar next to him nodded and said: "All families have a style of drinking, and this celebrity in Chang'an is even more happy." ”

"The borrowed word of the credit is similar to the ancient sound of the credit."

"Shennong tastes a hundred herbs to detoxify them."

"King Wu of Zhou is the master of Bashu,...... Tea honey ...... All of them are tribute. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A group of literati gathered together, and they couldn't help but chew on the words and show off. Literati, who doesn't want others to know that they know more? Now that there are so many literati, it is natural that they have to show off their style.

"What you are saying is true, the tea is also a tea maker, but my tea is still different from other teas, if you want to know how it is different, then please enter the store and have a look." Dr. Tea smiled and said, "Everyone, please come inside." ”

"Let's go, I want to see what this tea is!"

"Let's go, I'm going to take a good look at what this tea is!"

"Tea tea tea tea, is it tea or tea?"

"What the hell is it? Go in and see! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A group of people walked into the tea shop, only to see a painting hanging on the hall, written in flying white font, and it was the words "Dadao to Jane".

It is magnificent, and it is beyond the ability of ordinary people to write.

"Why does this sound so familiar?" One of the noble sons looked at the flying white body, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and after a few seconds, a sudden realization looked, and said: "I remembered, I remembered, this word is a sage storytelling!" ”

"Oh? Seriously? The people next to him couldn't help but be interested, and several of them listened attentively.

"It's not talented, there is a calligraphy and painting in Xiao Ke's house, which is written by His Majesty himself, and the big seal is His Majesty's jade seal." The man said smugly.

"It turned out to be His Majesty telling the story, I don't know what this avenue is meant by simplicity."

"Could it be that this tea is the simplest of the road?"

"Doctor, don't get the tea quickly!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Everyone said, and their faces became even more curious, and at this time, Dr. Nacha finally stood up, pointed to the table not far away, and said, "Everyone, please take a seat, someone will naturally make you a pot of tea later." Later, you will know how my tea is different from other people's tea. ”

Everyone sat down, looking forward to it.

"Oh? What's the difference? One of the literati couldn't help asking.

And at this time, I saw several beautiful maids come out from behind, take some tea sets, put them in front of everyone, and then put in the tea and pour boiling water.

A minute later, the tea was poured into the cup, and a faint fragrance quickly spread. Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty, how could this tea still be drunk like this?

"Let's try it, what does this tea taste like?" One of them picked up a cup of tea, drank it gently, and after a few seconds, nodded, and said: "This tea is golden in color, the taste is bitter first and then sweet, it is indeed very good, it is simpler than the tea that a certain drinks, and there is no strange smell that there is not yet." ”

"Well, it is indeed the simplest avenue, and the original flavor of Tu is reflected." The other literati nodded, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked, "Why is my cup crimson and yours really golden?" ”

"Because these are different varieties of tea, we have green tea, black tea, yellow tea, white tea, green tea, black tea. According to the different manufacturing processes and the different materials of the tea, the tea is naturally different. And the price is also different, and more importantly, it is not expensive, and everyone can afford it. Dr. Tea smiled slightly and said, "You can try this taste first, if you think it's not delicious, you won't be forced to drink it, if you like to drink it, please be able to sell face and help publicize it." ”

"As you may have seen, our tea does not have those complex condiments and does not require complicated and cumbersome processes, but its effect has not only not weakened, but increased. The tea we make has the ability to clear heat and detoxify, refresh the mind, eliminate fatigue, remove greasy, help digestion, sober up, diuretic and detoxify, sterilize, anti-inflammatory and disease prevention; Lowers blood pressure and prevents arteriosclerosis; protection against radiation, inhibition of cancer; Health and beauty, reduce obesity, and prolong life......" Dr. Tea gushed.

Everyone listened to it in a daze, but they all understood that this tea has a lot of benefits, and it will never be wrong to drink it.

"I see, the road is simple, and it is really the road to the simple."

"Tuwei tea, sure enough, still has its own reason, which contains the principle of simplicity."

"Fifty catties of black tea for so-and-so!"

"I want ten catties of green tea."

"Give me ten catties of white tea."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Newcomers and new books, everyone supports a lot, the ancient tea writing is the same, but the writing is different.
