It was early summer and the weather was starting to get irritable. On the morning of this day, the farmer went to the street to run errands, passed by a stall, and saw that the grandfather and grandson were talking about drinking tea, so they came over out of curiosity.

The grandfather said, "I'll teach you how to make tea today." Children should hold the teapot with both hands to pour tea for guests, the teapot should not be too high, nor too low, and the spout of the pot should just leave the cup. Pour about half a cup and fill it a little more. ”

The child said, "So little, not enough to drink." ”

"Hahaha, little one. It's too full, it's cool and slow, and you're not burning just now. The grandfather said with a smile.

"Oh, I see."

Hearing this, Nonglu remembered a sentence: "Wine is full of respect, tea is full of deception", which is really the case.

The grandfather explained: "When drinking tea, from filial piety to the elders to caring for the young, the etiquette of pouring tea, the order of dividing tea, and then to the honorific title of inviting tea, you must be polite and magnanimous." Tea is hot, it takes time to boil, it takes time to wait, it takes patience, and it takes a person's mind to train. ”

"Well, grandpa, I remember."

I saw the grandfather holding a small teapot, taking a sip of tea and saying: "The tea is light and sweet, and it is evocative after the entrance, quenching thirst and awakening people's minds." The more you drink tea, the more refreshed you are, and the fragrance of tea is pervasive, which makes people relax and stabilize. In a comfortable environment, people are not easy to get angry, and they like to make sense of things. Under the influence of this environment, he naturally developed a gentleman's temperament. ”

The child said mischievously, "Grandpa, then I want to be a gentleman too." The grandfather and grandson laughed.

Nonglu listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson and benefited a lot. This is exactly one side of the water and soil, one tea and one gentleman.

When he returned to the teahouse, he saw that Wu Qing was nursing the child, and Nonglu stepped forward to tease the child for a while, and muttered to Wu Qing about the tea drinking ceremony he had just heard.

After listening, Wu Qing said: "That grandfather is proficient in the tea ceremony, he is a master of the Tao, and he teaches his grandson the tea ceremony by drinking tea, so that his grandson can learn the truth of being a man and doing things." With that, she shoved the other tits into the child's mouth.

Nong Lu smiled and said, "It's still the lady who said it." ”

Wu Qing quipped: "Isn't this what you taught me? ”

Nong Lu couldn't say anything about Wu Qing, and directly threw out a sentence: "You can take care of the child." ”

Wu Qing smiled: "Am I not breastfeeding?" ”

At this time, the farmer had turned around, looked back, looked at the two of them, and went to work with a smile.

Tea was the first species to be introduced to the West from China, and tea culture spread with it. This is thanks to the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

Generally speaking, a route is from Xishuangbanna and Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan to the western end of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Pamir Plateau, including Tibet in China and Nepal, India and other countries and regions outside China.

The other route is to go out of Sichuan to Mongolia through Shaanxi and Gansu, and then extend to Russia and other countries and regions.

However, in modern times, there is still a 10,000-mile tea road, which is from Hankou in Hubei to Russia. This famous Wanli Tea Road has a far-reaching impact.

Autumn is quietly coming, and the leaves in the backyard of the Yunwu Mountain Tea Workshop are beginning to turn yellow, and the coolness is bursting.

This morning, Qin Yuhe came to the teahouse with the joy of autumn harvest.

As soon as he saw the farmer and his wife, he said excitedly: "The mules and horses are ready, and we will set off for the southwest." ”

Hearing this news, the faces of the nonglu couple had excited expressions, they didn't expect Qin Yuhe to come so quickly.

This is not only a happy event for Qin Yuhe, but also a happy event for the farmer. At the beginning, he and Qin Yuhe met in the humble teahouse of Longyan Village, they did not distinguish each other, they got along well, and along the way, it was like a dream.

Wu Qing hurriedly said, "Then there is Mr. Lao." ”

"I've arranged it all in advance, so don't worry!" Qin Yuhe said confidently.

It seems that he is not only efficient, exquisite, but also reliable.

Qin Yuhe took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said a little excitedly: "This mule and horse team belongs to my friend, he often walks this ancient road, and it can be said that he is familiar with the road. ”

Qin Yuhe is dispelling their doubts, and he is also announcing the beginning of this tea marketing in the distance, and at the same time, he has to accept the real test of the market, and see how the market reaction of this "Tianxin Tea" is?

"The team of mules and horses will arrive later." Qin Yuhe spoke quickly, and he couldn't hold it back.

Nong Lu said confidently: "Okay, according to Mr.'s instructions, the tea has been prepared and everything is ready." ”

Wu Qing specially explained: "We ensure that the quantity is sufficient, the quality is good, and the packaging is strong, please rest assured!" ”

Qin Yuhe smiled and said, "You do things, I don't worry!" ”

Nonglu said with concern: "This trip is a long journey, Mr. should pay attention to safety!" ”

Qin Yuhe said: "Well, we will be careful of this. ”

According to the quantity and variety they set in advance, the farm has been packed in advance and has been stacked.

Their tea is becoming more and more mellow and rich as they wait for the new journey......

Later, there was a sudden big movement outside. It turned out that the mule and horse team had entered Wuyi Lane and arrived outside the tea house.

At this time, the farm immediately arranged for the guys to move the goods to the tea warehouse, up and down, in and out, and after a while, the goods were finished. In the tea storehouse, the mountain-like tea boxes were immediately scattered on the backs of the mules and horses. At first glance, it looks like a flowing tea market in its infancy.

No matter where the merchant comes from, as long as it is the goods that enter the farmer's house, when it comes to the last link, the farmer will always say: "Please Mr. inspect the goods!" ”

"Okay." Qin Yuhe's voice was loud.

This time is different from the past, for the sake of prudence, he checked the goods one by one, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, after all, the road is far away, there can be no mistakes.

At this moment, Nonglu stuffed the dry food and miscellaneous items prepared in advance to Qin Yuhe: "I can use it on this road." ”

"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!"

After a while, Qin Yuhe finished inspecting the goods and said, "That's right, everything is in order, I'll leave." ”

"Have a nice trip!"

Nong Lu and Wu Qing said in unison, their eyes were full of unspeakable expectations, and their eyes were clearly beams of fire.

The caravan of mules and horses laden with tea finally set off. When Nonglu and Wu Qing came out of the tea warehouse in the backyard, they were really shocked by the scene in front of them:

I saw that the outside of the store was crowded with people watching the excitement, black and pressing, there were people talking to each other, some were making loud noises, and there were children playing on the street.

At this time, the procession of mules and horses started from the entrance of the tea house, lined up, and marched slowly through the narrow alley, as if to open the ancient alley. The alley was crowded with people, and the sound of human voices drowned out the sound of hooves, so loud that the farm also wanted to see what was going on, so he jumped up, but he still couldn't see the end. The alley is already narrow, and the flow of people and logistics is superimposed, and this Yunwu Mountain Tea Workshop also seems to be about to be squeezed out.

Today, this small Wuyi Alley in the ancient city is like a festival, and it is very lively. Since today, Yunwu Mountain, an inconspicuous tea house, has slowly opened a long tea road and opened a new channel between tea and the outside world.
