Nong Tianyi is deeply in love with the mountains and rivers of his homeland, and these remnants of the ancient city walls have unspeakable legends, so he also loves to read history books to find lost stories and memories.

In the past, it was often said that as long as everyone is united, it is better than a tight city defense, and Nong Tianyi said that this is a typical nerd statement.

Nong Tianyi gave an example: the people of Chu once built Ducheng on a high mountain with steep terrain and thorns, which was safe and sound, and was praised by poets; Ju pride itself on its poor defense, but as a result, the enemy perished and became a laughing stock in history. To build a state and let the people live and work in peace and contentment on their own land, it is always necessary to rely on deep ditches and high walls to ensure safety.

Although Nanyi County has been relocated several times, the phoenix has been reborn from the ashes. Tired and embarrassed, and reinvigorated many times, it is a miracle.

On the top of the hill not far away, there is a majestic and steep Shimen Temple, which used to be a temporary county seat. So Nong Tian wanted to see the real face early in the morning.

At this time, he walked into the Shimen Temple alone, only to see that there are the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tianwang Palace, the East and West Matching Palace, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, the Tomb Tallinn and other buildings in the temple, the mountain gate is born according to the boulder, so it is called "Shimen Temple".

There is a clear spring under the boulder on the right side of the stone gate, and the water is as clear as jade. Therefore, people also call Shimen Temple "Yuquan Temple".

Shimen Temple is famous for its unique features compared to other temples:

The temple does not lean against the mountain but faces the mountain; The stone gate does not face south, but east; The temple gate is made of natural boulders; There is a spring next to the door, and it is very dry and dry. Shimen Temple is surrounded by green pines and green bamboos, and the mountain streams are murmuring. Among them, the stream is called "boiling tea stream", the stone is called "Saishitai", and the pine is called "Songfeng Pavilion".

Shimen Temple in the Qing Dynasty can smell a few wisps of tea fragrance even when the mountain is deep and the moon is slanted and the frost cannot be bulged. Shimen Temple not only has cultural relics and historic sites, but also the relics of ancient celebrities and scholars who lived in seclusion and literati and ink writers explored the secluded world.

Nong Tianyi has a lot of harvest.

After returning from Shimen Temple, Nong Tianyi talked to his mother about the wonderful scenery of Shimen Temple, including Shimen Zen tea.

At this time, Wu Qing was talking about tea with his son Nong Tianyi: in history, there was Lu Tong, a literati in the Tang Dynasty who was famous for drinking tea, and his seven-bowl tea song had evolved into a tea ceremony in Japan, so Lu Tong was famous in Japan for a long time. He once made a vivid description of the beauty of drinking tea:

"One bowl of throat moistening, two bowls of broken loneliness, three bowls of dry intestines, only five thousand volumes of literature,

Four bowls of light sweat, uneven life, scattered to the pores, five bowls of muscles and bones clear,

Six bowls are immortal, and seven bowls can't be eaten, but the two wedges are used to the breeze. ”

A medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty once proposed: "All medicines are the medicine for all diseases, and tea is the medicine for all diseases", and spoke highly of the health care effect of tea.

Hearing this, Lu said in an accentuated tone: Tea is regarded as a longevity product and is respected as a national drink, many people drink tea, but they don't know yellow tea, and they don't know the efficacy of yellow tea.

In fact, yellow tea is precisely a special tea in our country, with a long history of production, and it became a tribute in the Tang Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, Nonglu talked about the skills of making yellow tea:

The production of yellow tea is similar to that of green tea, but the difference is that there is an additional stuffing process, also known as "stuffy yellow". The microbial growth of yellow tea in the process of stuffing increases with the extension of stuffing time.

According to modern medicine, in particular, yeast, black yeast and root enzymes and other microorganisms breed in large quantities, which will add a variety of extracellular enzymes to the yellow tea stuffy pile, and a large number of yeast can produce lipase, sucrase, lactase, etc., which can decompose macromolecular carbohydrates and crude fats into small molecule substances alcohol, aldehydes, organic acids, carbon dioxide, etc.

It is precisely because yellow tea is rich in these digestive enzymes that it is very good for the spleen and stomach, so it can be drunk for symptoms such as indigestion, loss of appetite, laziness and obesity.

Wu Qing went on to say: This unique process makes yellow tea mild, fragrant and mild, weak irritating, and stronger than green tea in lowering blood lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, lowering blood sugar, controlling blood pressure, and lowering cholesterol. And the tea soup has changed from the original bitter and astringent taste to a mellow taste, and it is golden yellow, forming the unique quality characteristics of yellow tea - "yellow leaf yellow soup".

Yellow tea is rich in tea polyphenols, amino acids, soluble sugar, vitamins and other rich nutrients, which has obvious effects on the prevention and treatment of esophageal cancer. In addition, more than 85% of the natural substances in the fresh leaves of yellow tea are retained, and these substances have special effects on anti-cancer, anti-cancer, sterilization and anti-inflammatory.

Nong Lu said: If you drink yellow tea for a long time, it has a significant effect on digestion, stomach warming, weight loss, lipid reduction, etc., which is beyond the reach of other teas.

Nong Tianyi said with understanding: tea can cure diseases, prevent diseases, eliminate toxins in the body, and buffer the impact of the outside world on the human body. So, can it be said that drinking tea, especially yellow tea, is a way to maintain good health.

His father and mother nodded yes.

In the golden autumn season, through the ancient city wall, come to the bank of the Fu River, you can see the reed flowers dancing in the reed flowers, a vast area, birds flying in the reed flowers, the reeds meandering along the river bank beachhead, quite spectacular.

Nong Tianyi deeply loves these simple, quiet and beautiful and vigorous reed flowers.

When the flowers were blooming, Luhua chose to be silent...... When the summer flowers are in full bloom, the reeds are still silently weaving their beautiful autumn dreams.

Until late autumn, when the autumn wind blows through the field, the field is almost bleak, the flowers begin to wither, inadvertently, the beautiful reed flowers are a little shy, the fine flowers open, quietly bloom in the bleak autumn sun, dyeing the fields, riversides, canyons......

The reed flowers in this life, swaying in the field of the autumn wind, listening to the sound of the river valley transmitted by the wind, singing and chanting, singing the fairy tale of spring with a bunch of beautiful shadows, and telling the world with the myth of autumn.

In the autumn of that year, as soon as Nong Tiantian walked across the riverside, the wind pushed westward from behind. He remembered the verses in the Book of Songs: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island." Slender lady, gentleman". On both sides of the river, this is where this love story took place more than 2,000 years ago.

- Yes, on the bank of the Acacia River, at this moment, there is a beautiful shadow of a reed flower, comfortable and leisurely.

When he was a child, Nong Tianyi often went to play by the Fu River, and he would also use reed poles to weave horses, birds, and play with his friends.

And now, he can only look at the reeds flying all over the sky outside the ancient city wall. If you go to Tianxin Rock Tea Mountain, you will occasionally pass by, and Nong Tianyi will just stop from a distance to take a look at the reed flowers by the river......

In a flash, I entered the wax moon, and the streets and alleys were full of cured meat, New Year's flavor, and the taste of home.

At this time, Wu Qing directly took a knife and took down a piece of bacon from the stove in the fire. Sure enough, it is still the same face and the same taste.

Because it takes a long time to smoke, the skin of bacon will be harder, and it needs to be boiled with water after cleaning until the skin can be pierced with chopsticks. Slice it, add green peppers and green beans, and a plate of fried bacon with green peppers and green beans is good.

Nong Tianyi said: Mother, I haven't eaten bacon for a long time, it's so fragrant!

When he was a child, Nong Tianyi looked forward to the Chinese New Year the most, because in the countryside, there will be a lot of delicious food only during the New Year, especially meat. Before the Chinese New Year, every household will kill the New Year's pig, and a whole pig will pick out the best meat for the New Year. What chicken cakes, pork meatballs, what button meat, steamed pork, steamed pork ribs...... Even if you let go of the meat, there will still be a lot left, so every household will use these abundant pork to make smoked bacon. This is one of the great features of the mountain.

The common practice of bacon is to marinate it first and then smoke it. The practice of smoking bacon is also exquisite: after killing the New Year's pig, the fresh pork will be classified and selected as soon as possible, leaving the New Year's to eat, and the remaining pork is still a little hot, carefully smeared with salt one by one, the salt should be slightly heavier, and then put it in a large vat and cover the lid, marinate it for ten days and a half months, and then take it out and put it on the fire to smoke and dry. Generally, when the weather warms up next year (about April to May), you can take it off and store it and enjoy it slowly. This is the family's meat for a year.

At that time, the conditions in Nongtianyi's family were still relatively difficult, and the tea and farm work at home were busy, so in order to save some trouble, the marinated pork was directly hung on the stove in the fire and smoked. He remembers that when his parents came home from their busy work, they lit a fire to keep warm and cook, and the meat emitted by the fire was also smoked. When the indoor temperature is high, you can even see the fat of the pork oozing out, and the oil is pouring out, which is very tempting.

If the beams of a family are relatively low, sometimes when you look up, you may rub your head and cause everyone to laugh.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the neighbors in the village will greet each other for the New Year, and at that time, you can basically see rows of black smoked bacon on the roof of each house. The more bacon hung by someone, it means that the fatter the pigs raised by the family, the more capable the daughter-in-law is, and the family's face will feel particularly bright.

In the township, the most precious ingredient used to entertain guests is bacon. Whoever has a guest, the housewives will pick up a kitchen knife and cut a piece of bacon directly on the top of the fire to make vegetables to eat. Cut as many people as you eat, cook as much as you want, and eat as much as you want, which has a different taste.

Nong Tianyi often misses the sweet memories of his childhood, and those warm flavors often hang on the corners of his mouth and are sweet in his heart......
