Once, Nong Tianqin asked curiously: Brother, isn't it the same to drink at your own house, why do you have to go to the old street and old yard to drink tea?

Nong Tianyi did not answer positively: With the same proposition, isn't it the same to look at the mountains and rivers in your hometown, why do you need to go to the mountains and rivers? Isn't it also a sense of anticipation and novelty?

It's like the rainy day after the beginning of summer in Jingshan, and the dry spring day has changed, and the rain is extraordinarily more, this side of the world, in such a season, it is like a woman reaching middle age, and then menopause, and there are more words, such as the raindrops in front of you. It really takes a cup of tea to neutralize the atmosphere in front of you, as if the wet stone road, the oily eaves, the bonsai and flowers that have drunk enough water, and the symphony of water and tea, the tea is not intoxicating, but people are intoxicated.

When the tea is over, the sky is clear, the wings of the birds and finches cross the sky, and the heart is as beautiful as the heart that has been washed by the tea.

Probably the most beautiful thing in summer is to fight poison with poison, make a pot of tea, drink it hot, and you must drink it until you sweat to be considered strong enough. There is a scientific basis for this, and it is said that the pores of the human body are already fully opened, which helps to dissipate heat. This is simply a fallacy cult for supporters who like to eat cold drinks to escape the heat.

But there are not a few people in the world who go crazy, and good and evil are divided into half of the world.

To get back to the point, if you want to talk about drinking tea, it's not big, it depends on personal preferences and tastes. There are those who drink tea dry, and there are those who like to eat and drink tea. The first way is mostly in public places, tea is a bit of a drink, one is to quench thirst, and the other is to pursue the taste of tea. If you just drink tea in your spare time, you can't do this anyway, and you will be lonely and difficult to swallow after drinking half a cup. Therefore, when drinking tea, you must order something to eat, which can be a handful of melon seeds, a handful of peanuts, or a meal.

The tea that Nong Tianyi drinks generally revolves around the four categories of yellow tea, Maojian, old tea, and blue tea. Orchid tea is rare, needless to say. As soon as the tea is brewed, there is a faint scent of orchids, and the smell makes people feel comfortable.

When I was a child, Nong Tianyi drank his own numbered orchid tea, mostly No. 1 and No. 2, and the tea had a bit of an orchid flavor. There is no bitter taste, and it is more fragrant. In the past two years, he has been drinking Longtuan Pearl, the tea is spherical, and the water is slowly budding to be released, and it will open up after a while, which is very good-looking, and the soup is thick and has a strong taste.

When drinking old tea, it is best to have something bitter or even a little sour, like green apricots or plums, or dried plums. Nong Tianyi occasionally drinks some jasmine tea, sometimes he has a greasy feeling, he eats some sour, one is to relieve greasy, and the other is to experience a trace of sweetness in the tea in the acid. He probably belongs to the unusual way of drinking tea.

The "Chazu Tea" used in the farmhouse sacrifice is not sold, and when you drink it, you feel that the tea taste is special, the tea soup is thick, resistant, sweet, not astringent, and very calm. Its shape has a mandarin duck head, as well as frog legs, etc., and it is a leaf that is brewed and lying on the bottom of the cup, which is decent. Drinking "Chazu Tea", it is best to eat melon seeds or peanuts, one dry and one thin, and the match is appropriate.

At that time, Nong Tianyi was in the old street of the county, cold, lonely, the ancient buildings and ancient houses above a hundred years were mottled and old, and the wooden carving figures, birds and beasts, and ancient poems and texts on the gate were fine and lifelike. An old street, or shops or houses, lives next to each other and is mixed with each other.

In the event of heavy rain, the old houses on the old street are flooded, dark and narrow. After school, the friends will gather at the intersection of the alley and the old street, where the ground is open and spacious. Girls play skipping rope and punching bags; The boys rolled hoops, slapped cardboard boxes, and fought cocks. Some people go to the storytelling stall and listen to the story so intently that they often forget to go home for dinner.

When it rained, the friends all hid under the eaves, and a trickle of water murmured down the eaves of the tile groove, and the sound of "ticking" was like a monotonous piano sound. Everyone was playing and bickering, and they were so happy that they got carried away until the parents shouted, and the friends reluctantly went back to their respective homes. This is the old street in Nong Tianyi's childhood memories - real, quiet, simple and natural.

For people who don't like to drink old tea, they are a little scoffing at it, and they think that it lacks the essence of time. For example, some people are lazy, one is too lazy to buy raw tea to keep, and the other is to love and have fun in time, so they take old tea to enjoy it.

Good old tea, the soup is thick, comparable to happy soapy water, with a strong aftertaste, and it is not greasy. In the ranks of high-grade old tea, it is really difficult to find a strong aftertaste and a proper way to not get greasy. Once, a friend said unconvinced, what is good about your family's "Chazu Tea", Nong Tianyi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing inappropriate.

Nong Tianyi felt that when his father made yellow tea, the process was very difficult: for example, the third re-drying process was usually in the early morning of the next day, so that the tea leaves could have a semi-fermentation effect, which is a different process from other teas. Tianxin tea belongs to the large-leaf tea species, and the bottom of the leaves is bright and fat after brewing, which is pleasing to the eye.

At first, because he never understood how to finish the tea, he had to watch his father's tea-making process in the evening, or participate in the tea-making process himself. After making tea, at this time, warm a pot of tea, pour a cup and drink it slowly, the father and son sit for two or three hours, the tea is also drunk, and he also grows knowledge and skills. Nong Tianyi said with deep feelings, roasting tea is a technical job, and it is very hard!

He also drank his grandmother's homemade lotus leaf tea, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, lowering lipids and blood pressure, and even losing weight. Because the lotus leaf has the effects of clearing the heart, calming the liver fire, diarrhea spleen fire, lowering lung fire, clearing heat and nourishing the mind, lowering blood pressure and diuresis, collecting fluid and stopping perspiration, stopping bleeding and solidifying essence. Lotus leaf tea is indeed a good thing to clear away heat and dampness.

In the past two years, yellow tea or Maojian is Nongtianyi's new favorite, there are many types, and it is difficult to classify them to which school they belong to. There is a sense of green tea, an old tea, and a yellow tea, which makes him feel a little varied.

But only yellow tea is for Nong Tianyi, "The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek."

In the "Sanjitang" in Hankou, when Nongtian sees northerners drinking tea, most of them are a cup per person, smoking cigarettes, chatting for a while, at most they have some melon seeds, peanuts, and pistachios, which is considered a regular tea. If you want to talk about drinking tea, you still admire Jiangnan people and Lao Guang. Therefore, Nong Tianyi will not let go of the opportunity to have morning tea every time he goes to Jiangnan. Sanding steamed buns, blanched dried shreds, crab roe buns are put on the table, and local specialty tea is brewed, which feels like becoming a fairy. After a morning tea, my stomach clanged. If you want to say how not to remember Jiangnan, this tea drinking is a big aspect.

Once, when Nong Tianyi went to Yangzhou to run business, the teahouse was full of white hair, loose skin, and dark spots on his face. He went to eat Yangzhou morning tea in particular. Sitting on the table, he found that he had ordered too much, and the steaming drawer was piled up on most of the table, and he suddenly felt helpless, and he reached the limit by eating one or two. In the end, Nongtian packed it back to the inn to enjoy.

Nong Tianyi laughed at himself, while he is young, he has more knowledge, and it is also a blessing to be able to eat and drink!
