Chapter 147: The Tea Ceremony (I)
Jiang Jianghao's words were stagnant, he paused for a moment, and then said very happily: "I'll tell you later, I'll tell Remnant Yang about the last excellent combination of yams." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Unconsciously, Jiang Jianghao seemed to have returned to the original thatched house, and his speech was not as restrained as when he came, but to his surprise, Ying Zheng did not have a trace of discomfort for his confrontation.
"Yam can also be matched with almonds, because yam can nourish the lungs and kidneys, and almonds can moisten the lungs and relieve cough mahjong, and the two can be eaten together, which can moisten the lungs and relieve cough and benefit the kidneys."
"What is this almond?"
"I'll tell you later, I'll tell you what sesame seeds are first!"
"Sesame, alias flax. Flat in nature and sweet in taste. Return to the liver, lungs, and spleen meridians. Sesame seeds have the effects of moisturizing the intestines, nourishing the liver, benefiting the kidneys, strengthening the body, and anti-aging. Sesame has a significant therapeutic effect on dizziness and premature gray hair caused by liver and kidney insufficiency. โ
Hearing about anti-aging again, Ying Zheng was another spirit: "Where can I find this sesame seed?" โ
"The Land of Yoro."
"Yoro?!"
Jiang Jianghao nodded, yes, it was Yelang, Jiang once met a Yelang caravan when he was traveling, which was the sesame seeds they bought in their hands.
Ying Zheng regretted the instinct to bow his head and lament, that Yelang is indeed a long way away, if he sends someone to go, I am afraid it will take at least a few months, but I heard Jiang Jianghao say that he had bought it, but I don't know if there is still a surplus of this sesame now?
"Boss Jiang, I don't know if you have any remaining sesame seeds?"
"Yes! But not much. โ
"Maybe give me some?"
Jiang Jianghao knew that Yingzheng would want it, so he didn't plan to make things difficult for him, but said generously: "I'll ask Ah Qi to find it out and hand it over to Remnant Yang and ask him to take it to the palace for you." โ
Ying Zheng suddenly raised his hand and patted Jiang Jianghao's shoulder and said, "Boss Jiang is refreshing!" โ
Jiang Jianghao gestured and asked Yingzheng to continue walking towards the front hall, and continued to search for information about Almond in his mind.
Liang "Famous Doctors" has a cloud: "Xingsheng Jinshan River Valley, picked in May." Song Su Song said: "There are everywhere today. There are several kinds: the yellow and round ones are called golden apricots...... Nowadays, Bianluo is planted and ripened at the earliest. Its flat and green yellow name is wood apricot, and the taste is not as good as it. Apricot is unbearable for medicine. Almonds are now won by those who come from the east.

"Now, I'll talk about almonds!"
"Almond is the seed kernel of apricot, also known as kernel, there are two kinds of bitter almond and sweet almond. Bitter almond is produced in the north and is mostly used for medicinal purposes; Sweet almonds are grown in the south and can be used as an ingredient.

As soon as the words ended, the group had already returned to the antechamber.
In the front hall, Su Moqiu was taking a few servants to clean up, seeing Jiang Jianghao coming back with Yingzheng and Remnant Yang, followed by Ah Qi, Su Moqiu raised his hand and waved his hand to give the servants a look, and the servants slowly withdrew from the front hall with half bowed bodies.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Jianghao gave Su Moqiu a big praise in his heart, worthy of being his wife, who can take care of business, and can also keep the house in order, virtuous, really virtuous!
After Jiang Jianghao invited Yingzheng to the throne, he was about to turn around and tell Ah Qi to go down to prepare tea, but he saw Su Moqiu give him a slightly calming look, this look at it, Jiang Jianghao was stunned at first, and then began to secretly speculate about Su Moqiu's intentions.
Could it be that Su Moqiu meant to tell him that Su Moqiu had arranged for someone to prepare tea? But Jiang Jianghao still felt weak-hearted, the things that Ying Zheng used to import in front of him were all concocted by him, so the ingredients, heat, including cooking tea, were all ordered by him to Ah Qi to do it himself, and he never did it in the hands of others, because he was worried that if one day Ying Zheng was eating good or bad in front of him, he couldn't afford this responsibility, and Jiang Jianghao had always been deeply suspicious of Su Moqiu's origin, so he was also afraid that Su Moqiu would bring him something terrible.
However, the next moment, when the servants appeared in the front hall with the same utensils, Jiang Jianghao had to admit that he was dumbfounded for a moment, what did he see?
He actually saw a complete set of tea sets in this distant Qin country, which made Jiang Jianghao's jaw almost fall to the ground in shock.
Tea utensils, also known as tea utensils or tea utensils in ancient times. The term "tea set" first appeared in the Han Dynasty. According to the Western Han Dynasty Cifu Wang Bao's "Longing Covenant" has "cooking tea utensils, drunk has been covered" said, this is the earliest mention of "tea utensils" in China a historical material, to the Tang Dynasty, the word "tea utensils" can be seen in the beginning of Tang poetry, such as the Tang poet Tortoise Meng's "Lingling General Record" said: "There is no limit to the number of turns, and the day is holding the tea utensils." "Bai Juyi's "Tea after Sleep Reminiscences of Yang Tongzhou Poems"" This disposal rope bed, next to the tea washer. Tang Dynasty writer Pi Rixiu "Chu Jia Lin Pavilion Poems" has "Xiao Shugui shadow moved tea set" words, Song, Yuan, Ming dynasties, the word "tea set" can be seen in a variety of books, such as "Song History, Rites" contains: "The emperor of the purple mourning hall, six staff members live in the north...... It is a famous fruit of the tea vessel of the day"
Tea set rangeThe emperor of the Song Dynasty took the "tea set" as a gift, which shows that the "tea set" of the Song Dynasty is very precious, and the painter of the Northern Song Dynasty has the verse of "only bring the tea set to appreciate the seclusion". The Southern Song Dynasty poet Weng Juan wrote, "A shaft of Huang Ting never gets tired of looking at, and every poem bag tea vessel is carried." The famous sentence of the Yuan painter Wang Mian "Blowing Xiao Out of the Gorge Poem" has "the head of the boat with a wine pot and a tea set." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the painter Xu Zhi, known as the "Four Masters of Wuzhong", invited friends to drink tea one night, he took advantage of the excitement to write: "The tea vessel is still set up at night, and the song pot is not knocked when it wakes up." It is not difficult to see that whether it is a poet of the Tang and Song dynasties or a painter of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they can often read the poems of "tea set". It shows that tea utensils are an inseparable and important part of tea culture.
However, at this time, Jiang Jianghao looked at the gap in front of him that he couldn't even call his name, Jiang Jianghao really wanted to die in this hall, the Qin Dynasty's tea drinking method was to first grind the tea leaves into fine powder, add ointment, rice flour, etc., to make tea balls or tea cakes, mash them when drinking, and put on the seasonings to decoction.
It was a matter of the Tang Dynasty to brew the roasted tea so directly, what kind of surprise did Su give him in the late autumn? This is obviously a scare of the red fruit, okay?!
Jiang Jianghao saw that Su Moqiu picked out a complete set of tea sets on the table and put aside a few things he didn't know, and then put the rest of the tea sets on a long table.
Jiang Jianghao only saw a little bit of the door at this time, because Jiang Jianghao barely recognized these tea sets left on the case. He knew about tea leaks, covered bowls, tea trays, tea rules, tea coercions, tea towels, tea needles, tea cans, tea boats, tea seas, tea spoons, and tea lotus, and then looked at the exquisite tea stove that the servant had just brought up, Jiang Jianghao was even more depressed, wasn't this the stove he customized to eat a small hot pot? Why is it poured into boiling water in the late autumn of Su at this time?
Looking at these modern tea sets, Jiang Jianghao really wanted to die. How is he going to explain the origin of these things to Ying Zheng? In case you ask about the production method, he will say it or not.
Following Ying Zheng's curious gaze, Jiang Jianghao began to look at these tea sets carefully, and began to try to recall how to use them.
Looking at the delicate small teacup in front of him, Jiang Jianghao was undoubtedly collapsed again, how to use the teacup: there are all kinds and sizes of teacups. Drink different teas with different cups. In recent years, it has become more popular to drink tea and smell the fragrance of tea. Depending on the shape and color of the teapot, choosing the appropriate teacup will also be quite aesthetically pleasing. In order to enjoy the color of the tea soup and to make it easy to clean, the inside of the cup should be glazed and white or light-colored. For the requirements of the cup, it is best to be comfortable to "hold" and "hold", comfortable to "mouth", and smooth to "entrance".
But who could tell him how he was going to explain to Qin Shi Huang the origin of these porcelain, and the fine white glaze on the inner wall of the cup?!
