Chapter 135: Xie Zhou Drinks Tea

Jiezhou City, tall and majestic, compared with the Puzhou that Zhiwen and they had just seen, it is not much better.

At this moment, Zhiwen, Sun Dafu and Xiaojie, who were standing outside the city of Jiezhou, looked at the city wall and were shocked.

However, what shocked them was not the city of Jiezhou, but the city wall next to Jiezhou, but the city wall that was higher than Jiezhou, Puzhou, Jiezhou, standing outside the city, you can see the bend of the city wall, but the city wall next to Jiezhou has extended for a long time, and it still does not see it bend.

Thinking that this is Yuncheng, Jiezhou City looks petite compared to this monster.

What can be seen on the city wall are helmets and spear tips coming and going, and the soldiers at the city gate, with bright armor and more complete equipment, are checking the identities of the villagers who have entered the city one by one.

Most of the villagers wore felt coats, and a few had leather jackets, and it seems that their final destination was here.

The whole team was quiet, and although it was moving slowly, no one dared to complain.

In contrast, the atmosphere in Jiezhou City is not so depressing, unlike Yuncheng, which is like facing a great enemy, and the people who enter and exit, even if they do not have luxury carriages, are well-dressed, and the attitude of the soldiers is much milder.

"Uncle Sun, Xiaozhi, let's go into the city." The careful Xiao Jie found that it was getting dark, and hurriedly reminded the two of them who were still in a daze that it was cold and freezing, and it was not comfortable for the three of them to stay out alone all night.

Of course, the city that entered was Jiezhou, and ordinary people and foreign businessmen could not enter Yuncheng.

Zhiwen also wanted to let Yaqian come with him, but unfortunately he had to teach people to wash wool, but Wang wanted to come, and was scolded back by him, "It's not to fight." ”

The three of them followed the crowd, slowly paced to the gate of the city, and after paying the money, they went into the city to find a place to rest.

The next day, after a brief breakfast at the inn, Dr. Sun was the leader, Zhiwen and Xiaojie followed, and the three of them slowly began to visit Jiezhou.

The overall scale is about the same as that of Puzhou, and it is already afternoon after a circle, and lunch is eaten on the street.

But the degree of prosperity is not as good as Puzhou, more precisely, there are few places to eat, drink and have fun, Jiezhou is more like a large wholesale market in later generations, selling salt, selling medicine (medicine is mainly miscanthus salt), which is a local specialty.

There are also other things such as grain, cloth, tea, etc., which are all in large bags or bundles piled up in the store, and whenever there is a transaction, they must be pulled by car, and there are few scattered transactions.

When passing by the first pharmacy, Zhiwen and they went in, wanting to buy another batch of manganese, who knew that it was indeed as the shopkeeper of Xie Zhou Liu said, the store guy saw that it was a raw face, only smiled politely, and politely told them that the goods had all been ordered.

The next few are like this, not only manganese, but also grain and cloth, if no one is introduced, it is very difficult to buy in large quantities.

After shopping for most of the day, the food at noon was salty, and the three of them were dry, but in the city of Jiezhou, the teahouse hotel was scarce, and it would be found for a while.

At this time, a shop full of tea greeted Zhiwen and them.

Zhiwen didn't say a word, he was about to enter the house, but was pulled by Xiao Jie, "Xiao Zhi, if you go in, you will also touch a nail, why don't you go back to the inn to drink saliva first." ”

"Come with me, I'll let you drink enough tea." Zhiwen said with a smile.

In later generations, you can go in, chat with the boss, drink tea, as long as you are thick-skinned enough, you can drink nothing after drinking tea, and leave empty-handed.

I haven't been in a tea shop before, and compared to other industries, there are fewer people who sell tea.

The shop was a little deserted, just a guy, who seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, saw someone coming in, busily cheered up, didn't speak, and followed Zhiwen and them not far away.

Zhiwen only entered the store, but he was a little surprised, the tea here is very different from the green tea he bought in his hometown county, it is all wrapped in a stack of bamboo shoot shells, each stack is counted, no more, no less exactly seven pieces, some are disassembled, it is a round piece, wrapped in white cotton paper.

"This...," Zhiwen was a little unsure, but the packaging was the same as a certain famous tea in his impression in later generations, "Is this Pu'er tea?" ”

"Yes, this little brother is well-informed, this is the tea of Pu'er Mansion in southern Yunnan."

It was not the guy who spoke, but a handsome young man standing at the door of the inner room, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a moon-white robe, and a piece of jade hanging from his waist.

"Meeting is fate, since the three of you know the tea of Pu'er Mansion, you might as well come in and sit down, I just opened a cake of tea here, everyone tastes it together, how about it?"

Zhiwen glanced at Xiao Jie proudly, how is it? I have tea to drink, so I went first.

How did he know that if it weren't for the three words "Pu'er tea" that he rushed out of his mouth to be heard by Na Jia Gongzi and aroused people's curiosity, the tea shop here would not invite you to drink tea like later generations.

Dr. Sun and Xiao Jie were surprised, in southern Yunnan, the tea in Pu'er Mansion, Zhiwen actually knew it?

Amazed and confused, he also followed.

"Come on, come on, please take a seat." Jia Gongzi stretched out his hand, there were all tables and chairs in the room, and there was a person waiting, who should be this person's scholar.

"Tea, serve tea to the guests." When everyone sat down one by one, Jia Gongzi commanded.

"Wait!" Zhiwen saw that Sicha took out three bull's-eye white porcelain cups from the sea of tea, slowly began to clean, and prepared to scald the cups, but he couldn't help it, and stopped it.

This set of procedures is somewhat similar to the one that drank Pu'er tea in later generations, but Zhiwen was not very interested in it.

Since its birth, Pu'er tea was first used as a marginal tea, mainly supplied to Tibetan areas, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was the favorite of the Chinese in Liangguang and Nanyang, why?

Because Pu'er tea is made of Yunnan large-leaf tea, cheap and resistant to brewing, a small piece of tea can be drunk for a day, the tea taste is domineering and strong, when you sweat profusely, a few sips of tea are poured down, the heat is completely gone, the fatigue is gone, and the most is to quench your thirst.

As a marginal tea, its strong tea gas can just neutralize the fishy smell of the cream, and the milk tea and milk tea aroma are combined into one, and the Tibetans are also very fond of it.

At that time, how could I be so particular about drinking Pu'er tea?

In later generations, in order to hype, drinking Pu'er tea also used the Japanese tea ceremony procedure, but Zhiwen felt that it was nondescript, how much tea can be in a big cup with a bull's eye, how could there be a big mouthful of Pu'er tea, and it felt like the mouth to the stomach, and even the esophagus were soaked in the tea and bubbling like a pleasure.

"Oh, what does the little brother have to say?" Jia Gongzi was not angry, and asked very gracefully.

"This son, can you give us a bigger cup?"

Jia Gongzi smiled and gestured to Wen Wen to continue.

"It's small, this Pu'er tea has to be drunk in a big cup to enjoy it."

"Well said, this way of drinking is indeed the most enjoyable." Jia Gongzi laughed, "Drinking the tea of this Pu'er Mansion has always been like this, but today I met the three for the first time, and I was afraid of being laughed at, so I made this decision." ”

"In that case, Si Cha, give us a big cup and let me and the three of us have a good time."

Hehe, Xiao Jie on the side was secretly happy, Xiao Zhi was really happy, obviously he was very thirsty, and drinking tea in a small cup did not quench his thirst, but he could find out such a good reason, but this boy still ate this set.
