Chapter 81: Stir-fried Tea

Although Downing had already entered the world of texts six times, this time it was very different from the previous six times, because there were no hints in the world of texts this time.

After Tang Ning finished "The Gourd Monk Judged the Gourd Case", the system told him that the text world this time is an exploration chapter, that is, before and after entering it, it will not tell you which text it is, and the main task is to find out which text this world is from, and only after completing the main quest can you have a chance to trigger the side quest.

This new experience naturally made Tang Ning unable to make any preparations, so he redeemed a long-term rest vacation, and also had a sense of freshness and excitement after entering the world.

Of course, the system does not give no information at all, at least Tang Ning still knows his current identity, at the moment he is a tea merchant in his forties, named Lu Ping, who has just purchased a batch of new tea in Fuliang (now Fuliang County, Jiangxi, belonging to Jingdezhen City), and intends to return to his hometown in Jiangzhou (today's Jiujiang).

And now the era he is in is Tang Yuanhe ten years, the reigning emperor is Tang Xianzong Li Chun, thanks to the modern overwhelming Tang Dynasty online novels, so Tang Ning is still very familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, this Emperor Xianzong is still good, reforming politics, pacifying the feudal town, has the reputation of "Yuan and Zhongxing", but after making some achievements, he began to die, and he believed in demons, and was killed by several eunuchs......

But this should have nothing to do with his main task, at least there is no text written about the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in my impression, and the only "Song of Long Hatred" that touches the edge is still in the reader.

Because there were no clues in his hand for the time being, Tang Ning was not in a hurry to explore randomly, in case he exposed flaws or did something inappropriate because of this, it would be worth the loss.

But this does not mean that Tang Ning will not do anything at the moment, after thinking carefully for a long time, he decided that he should live a good life first, since he is now a tea merchant, then he must first become the best tea merchant, after all, he has more than a thousand years of knowledge.

called his men in and instructed him: "Lu Cheng, you tell me to go down, let's not rush home in the next few days, my lord, I plan to study a new method of making tea here." ”

"Master, shouldn't we go home and study it again?" Lu Cheng asked a little puzzled.

"You don't understand, this method of making tea has to use new tea, and the fresher the better." Downing explained unmoved.

Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, Lu Cheng had no choice but to take the order, but just as he stepped out of the door, Tang Ning called him again: "By the way, you go and bring a few people to buy me a big iron pot and come back." ”

"Master, we have an iron pot on the stove." Lu Cheng said inexplicably.

Tang Ning waved his hand and said: "That pot is not good, first, it is too small, and secondly, it is perennial cooking and stir-frying, and the taste in the pot is too messy, I want a new pot." ”

The reason why Tangning wants to buy a new iron pot is because he wants to stir-fry tea, although China has already had literature about drinking tea since the Western Han Dynasty, but before the Ming Dynasty, tea drinking was basically medicinal or refreshing, even if the Tang Dynasty had the "tea saint" Lu Yu, but until the Ming Dynasty began to appear the prototype of modern tea such as fried green, especially in the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese tea drinking method is somewhat similar to the current British, are to put ginger, salt and other condiments into it, there is no modern tea this refreshing and long feeling.

Fortunately, Tang Ning had played in the tea garden of his classmates for a long time, and he knew some ways to fry tea, so with the help of a few smart and clever guys, after wasting more than ten catties of good green tea, Tang Ning finally barely made some appearance, watching the tea leaves change from tender green to dry green, and from dry green to tender yellow and tender green compatible color, and finally turned into dark green, Tang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief.

After the tea was brewed, Tang Ning beckoned a group of helpful men to let them taste it, and Lu Cheng, who was the leader, said first: "Master is really a god, although your fried tea leaves do not have the usual taste of ginger salt, but they have a refreshing feeling, as if, just like the smell smelled in the tea garden." ”

The young men below chimed in: "That's right, that's right, it's the feeling of being in a tea garden." ”

"I think the tea tastes much better than before."

"The master is so amazing, he can actually figure out such a magical method!"

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect the tea fried in a big iron pot to be so different!"

“......”

Seeing the enthusiastic reaction of the guys, although Tang Ning was very satisfied, he still had a trace of worry, because the main market for this kind of tea was not on them, so Tang Ning still had to find some real target customers to conduct an appraisal, but these customers are not easy to invite, so it is necessary to achieve a success, then the relevant preparations must be done.

"The bamboo forest is secluded and the stream is murmuring, which is really refreshing! I didn't expect that although Mr. Lu is just a businessman, he is still quite interesting! A young man dressed as a scholar said to Tang Ning beside him with some surprise while admiring the scenery in the mountains.

"Liu Xiucai has won the award!" Tang Ning replied modestly.

Because this kind of green tea is mainly sold to these scholars, this time Tang Ning asked the tea merchants in Fuliang to find a few local well-known scholars to come to the mountains to taste tea, and the reason why they chose this grass pavilion in the mountains is naturally to match the artistic conception of clear tea.

And today, Tang Ning also deliberately asked a handsome young man to change into a plain long shirt, and personally demonstrated how to cook tea to several scholars, only to see him put the clay pot on the charcoal fire, and then picked up the pu fan and gently fanned the fire.

On the other hand, the two musicians specially hired by themselves immediately stroked the qin and played the flute, and suddenly the guqin and the dong flute were far away from each other, which immediately made several scholars intoxicated.

After a while, after the kettle of water was boiled, Tang Ning and several scholars said: "Gentlemen, please watch carefully, my brewing method is different, and you can enjoy Ye Shuyun's posture!" ”

PS: Can you guess which text I wore this time? Of course, friends who have discussed this text with me in the group should not spoil it casually, it will not be fun.

Taking advantage of the time these days, I strive to have two shifts a day, but it is estimated that it will not be on the shelves before the year!
