Chapter 11 Green Tea

In the impression, spring is always associated with spring, every time I buy tea in later generations, the boss always squints a pair of eyes and takes out a can of tea leaves, explaining how the quality of the tea is in the previous spring, Changsun Tang has been slaughtered many times, so, in his impression, this tea is only available in spring, but this is obviously past spring, and in early summer, there is actually tea, which makes Changsun Tang look forward to it.

Changsun Tang only knows that there are many types of tea, which are basically distinguished according to the degree of fermentation, green tea is not fermented, and black tea is fully fermented. But I don't know the specific method, but this doesn't affect the interest of the eldest grandson, here, if you can't even get this green tea, then I'm too sorry for the identity of the traverser. Oh, by the way, the eldest grandson has selectively forgotten about printing and papermaking, maybe something has affected his mood recently! Maybe it's spring, the author sits in front of the computer and secretly speculates, no, spring has just passed!

Humming a song that he didn't know what tune, Changsun Tang took Wu Jiangdong and followed a group of peasant women down the mountain like this. Well? What did you say? Tail? Yes! Oh, I'm talking about the tea leaves in the peasant woman's basket, not what you think.

The mood of going down the mountain is pleasant, the pace is fast, but the speed of tea is faster, why is it again?

Tea is a necessity of life in ancient times, seven things to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, the meaning of tea is far beyond the scope of beverages. In ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation, there were no fresh vegetables in many places in winter, and vitamin supplementation mainly relied on tea. Even before the reform and opening up in later generations, you went to the grassland as a guest, bringing a pound of salt and a pound of tea as a gift, which would win the respect of the grassland people, so many roads were named after the ancient tea horse road.

After going down the mountain, the eldest grandson found the house of one of the peasant women who was picking tea, and after explaining the intention, the family politely met Zhang Zhong's three people and welcomed them in.

This is a typical peasant family, with a bamboo fence enclosing a yard, and a walnut tree in the corner is flourishing, and the walnut is already very large. There is also a vegetable field in the yard where several kinds of vegetables are planted, cucumbers, beans, etc. A hen with a flock of chicks was about to return to the nest, and a yellow dog barked twice, and when she saw her master raise her hand, she lay down at the door again. The house was made of loess mixed with wheat straw, covered with thick thatch, and the window was made with a small opening in the wall and supported by a wooden stick.

This is a microcosm of all the farmers in the Tang Dynasty, because the wheat has just been harvested, a room is dedicated to storing the wheat, sunny days, rainy days, and it will be threshed after some time.

The furnishings of the house were very simple, an unpainted table, a few stools in one corner, and in the other corner was a fire pit with a few pieces of meat hanging from it, perhaps the most valuable object of the family.

A pot on a clay stove made of yellow mud was also built in this dark room.

The eldest grandson wanted to see how they made the tea, but the hostess put the tea in a corner of the house and it was over, saying that it would be a few days before the tea could be fried, and the fermentation would continue after the frying was over.

This is very different from the green tea in Changsun Tang's impression, and it also makes Changsun Tang a little disappointed. The impression of green tea is fried first and then dried, without fermentation, he remembers that green tea has to go through at least three steps: finishing, rolling, and drying.

The eldest grandson wanted to try it himself to see if he could make the green tea out first, but it was late, and the lighting of the window was not good, although the sun had not gone down for a long time, but the house was already dark, so he could only make an appointment to come back tomorrow, and asked Zhang Zhong to leave ten cents as tomorrow's fixed money, and the tea farmer couple resigned a few times but accepted it.

Out of the courtyard, some pedestrians who had not found a place to stay also lit piles of bonfires, sparks rose into the sky, and their faces were reflected red.

When the three of them returned to the predetermined open space, Wang Tiedan had already lit a bonfire and was preparing to buy a pheasant, although he only had one arm, his movements did not feel a trace of sluggishness.

In a short time, pheasants brushed with cumin and chili peppers were set up on the fire, and a strong fragrance spread over the camp.

Many people kept looking at each other, it was not the first time that the eldest grandson had accepted this kind of gaze, but Wu Jiangdong seemed a little excited, constantly flipping the pheasant.

"Hey, you bad guy, I haven't settled accounts with you during the day!" The little girl in the green dress appeared again, still with those big bright eyes, and the two eyeballs kept turning.

"Has this boy ever met his little sister at noon?" Another voice came.

As soon as the eldest grandson turned around, two little girls, one green and one yellow, stood behind her, and the little girl in the green dress was the one who met the eccentric when she went up the mountain at noon, and the first voice was naturally what she said. The other little girl in the yellow shirt was slightly larger than the girl in the green dress, almost carved out of the same mold, but the temperament of the two was completely different.

"Oh yes, yes." Wu Jiangdong replied with a hippie smile.

The eldest grandson glared at Wu Jiangdong, not so much that Wu Jiangdong was his subordinate, it was better to say that the two were of the same age, Wu Jiangdong was one year older than the eldest grandson, and the previously suppressed temperament because of the embarrassment of life was released.

"It's the two of us, I don't know what to say!" The eldest grandson must pull Wu Jiangdong on his back, and this girl doesn't look very old and has a relatively gentle appearance, but the feeling of giving the eldest grandson is a surprisingly mature feeling.

"I heard Xiaozhu and Xiaolan say these things, and I came to apologize to the two, my sister has been a little naughty since she was a child, I hope the two of you don't get off."

"It's a little thing, it's not worth talking about." The eldest grandson replied politely.

"I see that the two of you are also trapped here, but you don't know if there is something important to go to Shuzhong?"

"It's nothing important, a classmate invited me to be a guest, but I was blocked here."

"Oh, Childe is a student of Guozijian?"

"No, arithmetic."

There was silence for a while, it seems that this little girl knows even arithmetic at a young age, but this scheming should not be underestimated.

At this moment, Wang Tiedang snatched the pheasant from Wu Jiangdong's hand, tore off a leg and handed it to the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson looked at the green-dressed girl who was staring at the chicken legs, but she couldn't eat them with her mouth open, so she had to hand over the chicken legs.

"Well, for the sake of the chicken legs, I'll forgive you for being rude on the mountain today." The little girl was not polite, and as soon as the scene was explained, she took a bite of it.

"Woo, bah......" Before the eldest grandson could tell the taste of the chili pepper, the little girl spit out the chicken in her mouth.

"Your cock is poisonous." The little girl's mouth was wooden, and her upper and lower lips were jumping abruptly.

This startled the girl in the yellow shirt next to her, and hurriedly dragged the girl in the green dress over when she was about to question, but saw the eldest grandson take another chicken leg and chew it, and she didn't know how to speak for a while.

"It's a spice called chili." The eldest grandson Yuyun tore off a piece of chicken with his mouth lightly and chewed it, this pheasant meat is very strong and chewy.

When the guards and maids of the girl in the yellow shirt heard the cry of the little girl, seven or eight people surrounded the four of them in the middle. The eldest grandson doesn't even look at it, he is the second generation of a senior official, and he is a concubine, but this is an internal affair of the family, and there is no need to worry about things like this.

Wang Tie Dan pressed one arm on the scabbard, missing one arm, which had no effect on the speed at which he drew the knife.

Wu Jiangdong lazily said to the maid who was talking in the morning: "Get some water and pour it on her." We don't have enough water, so we won't give it to you. Wu Jiangdong was deeply touched by this.

After a while, the burning sensation in the little girl's mouth in the green dress eased, and she felt a little ashamed, but she disappeared without a trace.

"I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao?" Only then did the girl in the yellow shirt remember to ask the name of the eldest grandson.

"Eldest grandson!" Zhang Zhong was about to answer, but was glared at by the eldest grandson, but he almost popped out these words from between his teeth.

In a blink of an eye, the girl in the yellow shirt understood the meaning of her name, blessed her, and continued: "Today's sister is a little rude, Wu Shun is here to apologize to Gongzi for her, and I hope that Gongzi Haihan." ”

"It doesn't hurt to make my sister innocent and lively, without losing her true colors." The eldest grandson was a little sarcastic.

"That being the case, the little sister said goodbye first." As if he understood the sarcasm of the eldest grandson, Wu Shun retired.

The grease dripping from the hare on the fire fell on the fire, and blue flames came out and crackled......
