Chapter 172: A New Law for Making Tea [Eighth Update]

Wei Renshi, the tea soup with salt and pepper, has not never tasted it today.

This is inseparable from Yin Qingfeng's good tea, good spring water, and Lu Yu's skills.

Sencha focuses on skill, which is different from the later tea that focuses on artistic conception.

The sencha method is complicated but well organized. When tasting tea, special emphasis is placed on the selection of water products, and the mastery of fire when boiling tea, and it is believed that water and fire are extremely important to trigger the true fragrance of tea.

The rule of ordering tea focuses on the artistic conception, less tea and more soup will be scattered, and less soup and more tea will be porridge and noodles. Banknote tea is a money seven, first inject the soup, adjust the order very evenly, add the injection, loop back to whisk, the soup on the pot can be four points to stop, depending on its face is bright white, no water marks on the lamp is excellent.

However, the tea making methods and techniques used by the two are roughly the same.

The taste is not much different, and it is made into a soup with salt and pepper.

In contrast, Wei Renshi still prefers tea in later generations rather than tea soup.

Historically, since the Ming Dynasty, the way tea processing in China has changed. The finished tea has been transformed from the cake tea made by steaming and pressing in the Tang Dynasty and the finely carved and pressed group tea in the Song Dynasty to the strip-shaped loose tea that has been stir-fried. In this way, people make tea, no longer need to "burn", "grind", "Luo", but put loose tea into a pot and brew it directly with boiling water, which is what people often say about making tea.

This method of brewing tea directly with boiling water is not only simple, but also retains the fragrance of tea, which is more convenient for intuitive appreciation of tea. It can be said to be a major innovation in the history of tea drinking in China, and it has also changed tea drinking from paying too much attention to form to paying more attention to interesting situations, which has been used by people.

"Mr. Lu, today's tea must be steamed and pressed, thinking that it is cake tea. The kid once saw a method of stir-frying tea, using an iron pot to fry the tea leaves to become loose tea. Wei Renshi said to Lu Yu: "When drinking, you only need to take out a pinch of tea leaves to the bottom of the cup, and then brew it with boiling water, the tea fragrance can overflow, and you can also observe the tea to absorb water and comfort, which is very understanding." ”

"Oh?" Lu Yu was very interested and asked, "Stir-fried tea?" The old man once saw that instead of steaming tea cakes, tea leaves were roasted on pottery shards to make tea. But I have never seen fried tea leaves, nor have I seen a way to drink it that is only brewed and not boiled. ”

After that, he said: "If you don't steam tea leaves, don't boil them in water, how to turn bitterness into fragrance and astringency into sweetness?" ”

"It's the process of stir-frying." Wei Renshi said.

"This old man is a little curious." Lu Yu brushed his beard and said: "The old man has walked all over the world for decades, tasted all the tea and soup in the world, and today he has heard more than ever heard of. If you can't taste it, you should feel sorry for it. I don't know where Wei Xiaolangjun got this method of making tea and drinking tea? The old man should go for it. ”

"This ...... If you can have unmade tea, you can try to fry some of them. Wei Renshi thought for a while and replied: "But the kid is not very good in the end, but it's a pity that that person is no longer in the world." ”

Naturally, there are no hermits in the mountains.

It's just that Wei Renshi has a local tyrant roommate in his later life, and he has a tea garden at home. Invite the dormitory people to his house to play, I saw the roasted tea master in the tea garden fried tea, it was very interesting, several people in the dormitory followed a few times, and tried to fry a few handfuls. When they left, they each brought their own fried tea, and Wei Renshi went back and kept it for a long time before drinking it.

It's not necessarily how good it is, it's just fried by hand, which is of great significance.

I was going to invite a girl to take it out when I was a guest, saying that it was my own fried tea leaves, and I came to pack a handful.

It's just that I didn't expect that I would finish drinking it by myself, and I didn't invite any girl to come back with me for tea!

Yin Qingfeng immediately said: "I have some unmade winter tea here!" ”

Tea can be picked all year round, the appearance of spring tea, soup color is better, generally tea drinkers are proud to drink spring tea. In summer, the weather is hot, and the tea grows faster, so the summer tea is more bitter. Autumn tea has a better climate, and the taste and aroma appear relatively peaceful, which is the main tea season. In winter, the tea grows slowly, the content gradually increases, the taste is mellow, and the aroma is strong.

After that, when he got up, he went outside and gave a few commands. The three of them waited for a while, but saw a white porcelain container brought in by the people outside, and there were some winter tea leaves inside.

"Brother Yin, you can't stir up here, you don't have that kind of thick-bottomed iron pot." Wei Renshi said: "I have to take it back and fry it, and let it sit for a few days before I can drink it." ”

After speaking, he looked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "The old man only planned to stay in Chang'an for three or two days before leaving. In this case, the old man will wait a few more days. I don't know Wei Langjun's technique of roasting tea, is it allowed for outsiders to watch? Is there any shying away from this? ”

Wei Renshi shook his head and hurriedly said, "I just watched people fry a few times, where is the technique at all?" The people who know this method are also hermits in the mountains, so I don't think they care about this. And if this method can be guided by you, it will be more perfect, or it may be more known. Where there will be any evasion! ”

"In this case, the old man wants to go and have a look, Qingfeng, you accompany the old man to go!" Lu Yu said to Yin Qingfeng, and after speaking, he looked at Wei Renshi as if asking, as if waiting for him to agree.

"Brother Yin will naturally go!" Wei Renshi replied.

Lu Yu got up and immediately got up and said, "Then let's go!" ”

He has studied tea for nearly a lifetime, and has already seen various methods of making and drinking tea, and now he can see a new method, so he is naturally extremely curious.

The three of them followed Wei Renshi out of the teahouse among the grass and trees, got into the carriage, and went out of the West Market to Yankangfang.

When he arrived at the door, Wei Renshi saw Gou Er coming back with a carriage. What puzzled him was that there was a person crawling next to Dog Er, who was the sloppy Taoist priest who couldn't pull out from under the wheel of the car before!

Wei Renshi watched Gou Er drive the carriage around to the side door where the carriage could enter, and drove the carriage in, naturally connecting the sloppy Taoist priest to bring it in.

"Wei Langjun, what's wrong?" Yin Qingfeng saw Wei Renshi's surprised expression, so he asked.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong, it's just that I saw that the carriage just now was originally from my family, so I ......" Wei Renshi told Yin Qingfeng about the sloppy Taoist. But he only said that he went out to run errands, and did not say that he came out of the palace.

Soon, the three of them got out of the carriage, and Wei Renshi invited the two into the house and went to the back hall.

"The scenery in Wei Langjun's house is really good." Yin Qingfeng walked back and looked at Wei Renshi's house.

"This garden has a lot of Jiangnan style, but it is leisurely and elegant." Lu Yu said with a smile.

Yin Qingfeng said again: "This garden is not like a new repair, it should be a ready-made child!" It's not going to be cheap. It seems that Wei Langjun's liquor business is doing very well. ”

Wei Renshi smiled and didn't say anything, but said again: "Let's just start here!" ”
