Ever since he drank the green hair tip of Tianxin Rock, Wang Xiucai has taken it to heart. Later, he also heard about the opening of a tea shop by the husband and wife of the farmer. In the past few days, Wang Xiucai has not much to do, and he is going to go to the county seat to see how the tea shop is doing now, and secondly, he can discuss tea with them, which is also his good taste for many years.

Tianxin tea really moved Wang Xiucai, so he wrote a short article, saying: "The old mountain produces tea, so it is called Qingxi water, Tianxin tea." What he said was that if Tianxin Rock Green was brewed with Qingxi water, then the tea would be even better. At the same time, he praised the beautiful scenery of Tianlu Temple: "I have many famous mountains on my feet, and there is no one who is as beautiful as a deer." The peak is the wall, the water is the pool, the rock is the room, and the pass is the portal. "That is to say, this is a place of great beauty, a place where good tea is produced.

Wang Xiucai likes to travel, and once tasted tea with the monks of Tianlu Temple, and said: The reason why Tianxin tea is of excellent quality is inseparable from the small environment and microclimate in which tea trees grow. First, the mountains and rocks are red, surrounded by green trees, and the blue stream is quiet; The second is related to the Buddhist holy place "Tianlu Temple".

Legend has it that there were many elk on the mountain in ancient times, leaving a large number of deer, and Tianlu Temple rose because of it. Here the orchid fragrance valley, the birdsong empty mountain, the foot of the Qingxi mountain turns, and the top of the white cloud mountain is entangled. There are often deer herds in the mountains and forests, singing and singing, so the Tianlu Temple gets its name. According to temple inscriptions, tea cultivation in temples began in the Tang Dynasty or earlier. Because there are wild tea trees on the mountain, the monks found out about it and transplanted it, and it was gradually imitated by the local mountain people.

Tianxin tea and Tianlu Temple can be described as made in heaven. There are a few Nan trees on Tianxin Rock, and every late spring, they exude a faint fragrance and guard this large and small tea mountain. Locals say that without Nanshu, tea would not be fragrant. Whenever the solar term comes, some mountain people go to set off firecrackers to pray that the tea trees will be permanent and the fragrance of tea will continue. Tea has long been integrated into it and has become an indispensable spiritual sustenance for people.

Now it seems that the husband and wife of Nonglu not only had a relationship with Wang Xiucai and were able to get to know each other, but the Tianxin tea sent at that time also played a certain role in promoting, to say the least, the tea really made him love and moved him, and this is why there will be a tasting and writing.

On this morning, Wang Xiucai went out and came to the teahouse with great interest.

When the farmer saw it, he was very surprised: "Welcome, welcome, sir, please!" ”

Since the husband and wife of Nonglu visited Wang Xiucai, time has flown and they have been separated for several years, but the sincere tea love is in each other's hearts. When the opportunity comes, it will be fragrant.

"There are a lot of customers, and it seems that business is good." Wang Xiucai said after glancing at the tea room.

"It's okay, sir, please!" Nonglu knew that Wang Xiucai liked the quiet habit of drinking tea, so he took him to a private seat in the back room.

"Sir, please be seated!" Nong Lu hurriedly said.

Wang Xiucai sat down, looked at the surrounding environment indoors, and said, "This location is good. ”

listened to Wang Xiucai's praise. Nonglu was a little embarrassed and said, "It's okay." ”

After Wu Qing heard the news, he hurriedly came over to say hello, and said, "Greetings to Mr. Little girl!" "After that, I'll go make tea.

Nong Lu didn't know how to talk to Wang Xiucai, so he said directly: "We wanted to invite you on a special trip, but we were afraid of disturbing Mr. ”

Wang Xiucai smiled: "I came uninvited." ”

Nonglu laughed too. It was much more congenial than the last time they met.

Wu Qing had already made the tea, respectfully handed over the teacup, and said, "Please Mr. Taste the tea!" ”

Wang Xiucai first sniffed the fragrance, then took a sip and asked, "What kind of tea is this?" ”

"This is my family's tea ancestral tea." Wu Qing said.

"It's the first time I've heard of it, where does this tea ancestor tea come from?" Wang Xiucai had doubts.

Wu Qing said: "My tea ancestor tea is generally only used as a worship of the tea ancestor tree, today Mr. is a distinguished guest, so I will take it out and ask you to appreciate it!" ”

After a few sips, Wang Xiucai praised it: "The color, flavor and posture are integrated, which is for good tea." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment!" Wu Qing said that when he saw a rare opportunity, he asked: "How should this be judged?" ”

Wang Xiucai opened the conversation: "The reason why it is called a good tea is nothing more than two major factors: internal and external. The inner thing is made up of fragrance and taste, and the outer thing is made up of color and posture. ”

"How do you understand these two factors?" Wu Qing asked.

Wang Xiucai said: "Let's look at the internal factors first. What is incense? The aroma of tea is basic, but there are differences in the level and realm of different tea aromas. ”

"What's the difference?" Wu Qing asked again.

"It is not difficult to find that there are three levels of tea fragrance: smelling the fragrance, drinking the fragrance and drinking the fragrance for a long time. There is a step in the tea art to smell the fragrance. Most teas can do the first two, but after drinking, the fragrance is less. "Wang Xiucai is worthy of being a well-known figure in tea science.

This means that the taste of tea is enhanced in this final fragrance, which not only makes people and tea one, but also can gain the meaning of life and the state of life.

"What about the other factor?" Wu Qing continued to ask.

"It's mainly about hue and posture. The shape of the tea leaves depends on the method used to make them. Dry tea is a form that has not been brewed with water, and some will have a certain deformation after brewing. Therefore, in terms of color, tea leaves are roughly light green, light green, pure green, dark green, dark green and other different shades of color. Some of the leaves slowly open after being brewed with water, some are deformed, and some cannot be opened and remain as they are. Water undoubtedly plays a certain role in promoting color and posture. It is better to use ancient roasting techniques. Wang Xiucai talked about his own views, which is indeed a high opinion.

"That's a university question!" Nonglu seems to have understood.

Wu Qing still has a question: "How to identify the taste of tea?" ”

"This tea has a light and elegant, light and strong feeling. If the fragrance is long, the taste will be light and long. In other words, fragrance and taste are organically linked. The ups and downs of tea brewing should have the unity of qi, rhyme and spirit, so as to be a superb tea. ”

"Thank you, sir, for your advice!" Wu Qing admired it from the bottom of his heart.

The tea conversation between them was harmonious and relaxed. Wang Xiucai came prepared today: "Looking at your family's Tianxin Rock Green and Chazu Tea, not only smelling and drinking incense, but also having a cool, fragrant and long charm after drinking. ”

If we trace the history of Tianxin tea, it can be said that it comes from the wild thousand-year-old tea tree on Tianxin Rock. This is due to the fact that the tea mountain is surrounded by Danxia landforms, which are surrounded by karst landforms, so that tea trees have a unique climate, soil and living environment. For example, the soil weathered by red sand stone for tens of millions of years, the fertilizer formed by perennial leaf decay, the moisture formed by mountain springs, streams and winding rivers, and the perennial lingering fog are all natural conditions for the cultivation of good tea in Tianxin Rock.

Wang Xiucai's incisive insights can be described as a final conclusion. This was perhaps the main purpose of his trip. This is related to his understanding of tea and tea lover, and it is also due to his tea relationship with the husband and wife of Nonglu.

Wang Xiucai is a person with a lot of personality. One year, when the county magistrate was about to visit Wang Xiucai, he asked a friend to send him a letter, and Wang Xiucai wrote back: "My family has a poor house and a poor family, how can I be wronged by the county magistrate's visit? "Directly refused.

It has to do with an incident from his grandfather.

One year, there was a great flood in the area, and Wang's grandfather was so worried that he didn't sleep until late. That night, the two county officials passed by Wang's Villa on their way out on errands, thinking that they were just looking for a place to rest. Suddenly, the two county officials knocked on the door and entered the house, and his grandfather invited them to sit down, but only looked at each other and did not say anything.

Wang's grandfather asked his family to cook them good meals, drink home-brewed wine, and let them eat and drink to their heart's content. Then calmly ask them what they are doing.

A county official said slyly: "There is nothing else to come here, the government is preparing to do some official business, and the funds are not enough, so let's borrow 200 platinum from you." ”

Wang's grandfather hurriedly agreed.

After eating, Wang's grandfather took out the full amount of money they asked for and put it on a few cases.

The two county commissioners left with the money. After going out, there was a burst of laughter, so the two divided the money.

There was a neighbor who knew the truth, so he told Wang's grandfather the truth. Because of this experience, Wang's grandfather warned his descendants to live in Pengmen for generations, not to show their wealth, and not to let officials enter the house.

The comparison between the two shows Wang Xiucai's good intentions, and the tasting just now is enough to prove that Tianxin Maojian has a unique taste, comfortable charm, pleasant elegance, and soft aroma.

Wang Xiucai was not less interested, put down the teacup, and told them a dusty history of Jingshan's famous tea.

Jingshan is the place where the earliest famous tea is recorded in writing. The famous tea mentioned in Mao Wenxi's "Tea Recipe" of the Five Dynasties - Cactus Tea is the earliest sun-dried green tea seen in China's historical materials, which comes from Yunwu Mountain and is named because it resembles a cactus.

Cactus tea belongs to the famous tea of the Tang Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, "tea is indispensable for people" drink, and almost all literati and bachelors used tea as poetry. It is thanks to the poet fairy Li Bai that the name of cactus tea has been passed on. At that time, Li Bai lived in Anlu, Hubei, and he had a distant relative who lived in Nanyi County, so he traveled to this mountain, drank cactus tea, and wrote poems to praise him. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Zhao's "Supplement to the History of the People's Republic of China" had a special record in the Jingshan area of Guxia Prefecture: "The customs are expensive tea, and the famous products of tea benefit the public......"

Speaking of this, Wang Xiucai said in a very serious tone: "Our area has always been famous for tea. Then the conversation changed: "Do it well, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Hearing this, Nong Lu and Wu Qing were indeed shocked, and they didn't know how to answer for a while, so they nodded vigorously. Seeing that Wang Xiu was leaving, Nong Lu quickly got up and handed him the two packs of hair tips he had prepared.

"The tea was taken." Wang Xiucai looked relaxed and comfortable.

Wu Qing said: "Welcome Mr. to come to taste tea often and give a lot of advice!" ”

"Okay." Subsequently, Wang Xiucai went out of the store.

The couple sent Wang Xiucai to the mouth of the alley, and it was not until his back disappeared around the corner of the street that the two turned around and walked back.

They were reluctant, but they also had a deep admiration and heartfelt gratitude. The two looked at each other and smiled, and let out a burst of emotion: I am really fortunate to meet a virtuous person like Wang Xiucai!
