Chapter 25 Wu Qingyan Tea Soup
Medicinal tea, as the name suggests, is the addition of medicine or medicinal juice to tea. Drinking medicinal tea regularly can have the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. At first, Shennong's discovery of tea was mainly to cure diseases and save people, and to develop medicinal properties, and then people developed it into a daily drink.
One afternoon, a villager suddenly had unbearable stomach pain, and when he became ill, he collapsed in front of the farmhouse.
Seeing this, Wu Qing was very anxious. Since listening to Ban Chao's story of using tea to cure diseases and save people, including the ancestral "tea seed soup", she has concocted it in the same way.
After that, she made a little improvement, and has carefully prepared a dose of tea soup, using: 15 grams of cassia seeds, 5 grams of green tea, soaked in boiling water, Nonglu and she have tried it, and the effect is good.
At this time, the patient suddenly fell ill, the pain was unbearable, rolling on the ground, there was no other way at the moment, it was important to treat the disease and save people, she decided to give it a try boldly to see how the effect of the tea soup was? So, she immediately went back to the house to take a big bowl of boiled tea, turned around and came to the outside of the house, handed a bowl of tea soup to the sick villagers, only to see him "gurgling" to drink the tea soup in one go, after a while, the sick villagers stopped screaming, the stomach was smooth, the pain was eliminated, and the discomfort just now was gone.
The sick villager hurriedly knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to Wu Qing three times in a row: "You are Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering!" ”
Wu Qing stepped forward to help the villager: "You get up quickly, just don't have a stomach." ”
Several villagers who saw this scene on the side were amazed: This is really a divine soup! As soon as this matter spread ten, ten and hundred, it quickly spread in the local area, and the villagers within a radius of 100 miles all knew that there was a miracle doctor named Wu Qing in Longyan Village in Qinglian Town!
The medicinal aroma is strong, and the tea rhyme is long. In the spring of this year, when a young man rushing to take the exam passed by Longyan Village, he suddenly fell ill and suffered unbearable abdominal pain. Seeing this, Wu Qing took a bowl of tea and soup for him to drink as usual, and then the pain stopped and was cured without medicine.
This tea is made from the thousand-year-old tea tree of Tianxin Rock in Yunwu Mountain, the leaves are fat, the fragrance is long-lasting, and the tea used by Wu Qing belongs to the old tea, and there are gold-like flowers blooming on the tea leaves. Later, the young man won the champion, and after returning to his hometown, in order to thank the farmer, he made a special trip to come and put the champion robe he wore on the ancient tea tree, so this tea was also named "Zhuangyuanlang Tea".
The reputation of the farmer for producing good tea spreads far and wide, or he drinks himself, or invites a few tea friends to taste tea, whether it is a local official or a foreign businessman, he must choose the farmer's tea as a valuable gift.
After some more time, Wu Qing discussed the tea at home with Nonglu.
Wu Qing said: "My family's ancient tea tree grows on Tianxin Rock, from now on, this tea is called Tianxin Rock Green, and this tea soup is called Tianxin Tea Soup, how about it?" ”
Nonglu praised: "Okay, this name is loud! ”
Since then, the tea leaves and tea soup made by the farmer's family have a new name in their hands. In the area of Jingshan in Chudi, this "Tianxin Tea Soup" became a good medicine for colds and damp heat diseases at that time. The common people collectively refer to the tea produced by the farmers as "Tianxin tea".
As the saying goes, good things spread thousands of miles. One day, the farmer's tea entered the palace, and the emperor's relatives took out the "Tianxin Tea" produced in Yunwu Mountain to honor the Queen Mother. After brewing, give the Queen Mother tea, the Queen Mother took a sip, immediately fragrant, the eyes were immediately much more comfortable, after drinking the tea, the redness and swelling disappeared, and the stomach was not distended. The Queen Mother said happily: "This Tianxin tea is really a panacea. ”
Today is the beginning of summer. Wu Qing ingeniously boiled Lixia tea soup and said to Nonglu:
"If you don't drink Lixia tea, you will suffer for a summer."
Nonglu took the tea soup, picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp, put down the bowl, and said, "It's so comfortable, thank you for the lady's Lixia tea." ”
Wu Qing understands the impact of the changes of the four seasons on the properties of tea, and said to Nonglu:
"Four o'clock tea, each has its own differences, the spring is bright tea, the summer is quiet tea, the autumn is indifferent tea, and the winter is to boil a pot of warm old tree tea."
After hearing this, Nonglu felt that this was quite fresh, and said with a smile: "The lady is Mingtang, and you have made so many ways to drink tea." ”
Wu Qing said with a smile: "Of course, there is a way, and drinking tea must also follow the laws of nature, so that it can play a role in maintaining health and prolong life." ”
Today is a good day, Wu Qing saw that the medicinal materials were about to run out, so he said to Nonglu: "You go up the mountain today to find some authentic medicinal materials." ”
"Okay, I'll go up the hill."
After saying that, the farmer took dry food, tools and cloth bags, and went into the mountain.
It turned out that Wu Qing wanted to try the new tea soup processing technique. According to what Wu Qing said, the farm house should find more herbaceous plants on the cliff, in the dense forest, by the stream, and next to the cave.
Since Wu Qing came to Nonglu's house, he seems to have changed as a person, more precisely, Wu Qing is like a teacher, the couple will go around the mountains whenever they are free, Wu Qing teaches Nonglu to identify medicinal materials and explain medicinal properties. In the past, he only knew a few local names, and as for what they were for, there was no way to talk about them. After Wu Qing's order, after a long time, he can now basically identify the medicinal materials in the mountain.
The clouds and mountains are high, and the climate is impermanent, which can be described as ever-changing. This is exactly "the foot of the mountain, midsummer, the top of the mountain, spring, the foothills of the mountain, the top of the mountain, the ice, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, spring, summer, autumn and winter are the most difficult to distinguish." ”
Emperor Yan Shennong once traveled to this mountain to collect medicinal herbs, because this mountain is a kingdom of wild plants, and the medicinal effect is very good. For example, the unique plants are: arrow bamboo, Chonglou (seven leaves and one branch of flowers), Trillium (a bead on the head), snake mushroom (a pen of King Wen), southern mountain lotus leaf (a bowl of water by the river), star anise, bamboo ginseng (large-leaved Panax notoginseng), southern crape myrtle, nanmu, purple stem, wild wax plum and peony, chrysanthemum, etc., these original ecological medicinal materials are the treasure of the mountain, the darling of human beings.
In the area of Qingfeng Ridge and Taiziyan in Yunwu Mountain, Nonglu dug up some medicinal materials such as branches and leaves, flowers and fruits, rhizomes, etc., and it took two days to go back and forth. On this day, he carried two bags full of medicinal herbs and returned home in the evening.
Seeing this, Wu Qing stepped forward to pat the dust on the clothes of the farmer's house, and said with care: "Husband has worked hard!" ”
"Look, the herbs are all here."
Wu Qing opened the cloth bag and saw that the medicinal materials that should be picked and dug were basically matched, and he was full of joy and said "good" in a row.
Before going to bed, the little bird snuggled up to the farmhouse like a human......
At this time, there was silence outside the window, and the stars and moon were already hanging high in the mountains.
One morning the next day, Wu Qing said to the farmer: "Let's go to the town to buy some jars and jars and come back." ”
At this time, Nonglu's mother had already prepared breakfast, and the two hurriedly finished breakfast and went to the town to buy porcelain. The two came to the pottery shop, and the owner was a middle-aged man, and said with a kind face: "Welcome two, what do you need?" The things in my store are genuine, and you are satisfied. ”
Nonglu replied: "We pick it ourselves." ”
Wu Qing looked at the utensils in the store very carefully, mainly practical and generous, she first took a fancy to a few earthen pots, not big or small, with dragon-shaped patterns; After that, I chose some dishes and the like, and I saw it in the shape and color, either there were flowers and herring in the bowl, or there were fairies scattered flowers in the plate, or there were mascots on the pot, and I thought it was quite meaningful, so I bought it together. After paying and leaving the store, the two rushed home.
The farm house carried a full pot of jars, and was careful all the way, for fear that something would go wrong, so it was tied with straw rope to be strong.
