Chapter 148 The Strange Dao Chief
To be held in the hand to look at the careful twisting, a leaf by leaf knotted in the hand, surprised, very surprised. Raising his head, he smiled at the Dao Chief: "Dao Chief, your tea is really a rare and good tea." ”
The Taoist chief was not surprised by her reaction, and only smiled: "Xiaoyou, tell me, what's so good about this tea?" ”
In the tea theory of the time and space in which Banniang lived in the previous life, the classification is different according to the standard, if the production process is divided, it is divided into fermented tea, semi-fermented tea and unfermented tea, and in terms of color, there are black tea, green tea, green tea, black tea, white tea, yellow tea, six categories, and then add flower tea, it is seven categories.
Like black tea, the more famous ones are Yunnan Yunnan Yunnan Yunnan Red Tea, Anhui Qimen Qimen Black Tea, Jiangsu Yixing Yi Black Tea. Oolong teas such as Taiwan Alpine Frozen Oolong, Tieguanyin, etc., are all classified as green tea, which is a semi-fermented tea. When it comes to white tea, everyone knows that there are Fujian white tea Baihao silver needle, white peony, white hairy monkey and Zhejiang Anji white tea.
As for green tea, there are more famous teas, such as Longjing, Biluochun, Guzhu purple bamboo shoots, Nanjing Yuhua, Yangxian Xueya, Xinyang Maojian, Huangshan Maofeng, and the unique Taiping Monkey Kui in green tea that makes Banniang like it very much, is now where she is located in Jiangxi, there are also many famous teas, such as Lushan Yunwu, Wuyuan Mingmei, Jinggang emerald green, Shangrao white eyebrows, etc., it is really too numerous to mention.
Black tea is a fully fermented tea, mainly Pu'er, and there are also Hunan black tea, Hubei Laoqing tea and Sichuan border tea.
Yellow tea is divided into yellow big tea and yellow small tea, not many people know, there are Mengding yellow buds, Junshan silver needles, pseudo mountain hair tips, Pingyang yellow soup, etc., Hunan is known as the hometown of yellow tea.
As for flower tea, most of them have heard of Hangzhou white chrysanthemum, which is not good to talk about one by one, and the flower into the tea is all based on personal liking and pharmacological effects.
It's a pity that most of these good teas that shine in later generations have not bloomed in this Great Song Kingdom, not for other reasons, and for the sake of the production process.
Tang tea saint Lu Jing tastes all the best tea in the world, and finally sends out the feeling that the best drink is boiled water, in fact, it is not that tea is not as good as white water, but it is really the tea-making process at this time, not as the era in which Banniang lived, brewing with water is OK, the Great Song Dynasty is better at this time, at least most of the tea does not need to add salt, and the Tang Dynasty is salt, fruit, flowers, tea, milk and various ingredients go hand in hand, just imagine, can it be delicious?
In the era when Banniang lived, tea production, roughly after picking, had to go through various processes such as killing, rolling, baking, accumulation, etc., such as the killing and rolling, you can go to the natural bitterness of tea, but the tea at this time is not so made, it is much simpler, if you brew it directly with water, it is naturally not delicious.
The tea leaves taken out by the Taoist chief of this immortal posture are the real tea leaves similar to the green tea that Banniang drank in her previous life, so how can she not like it?
I can't help but speculate a little more about this old Taoist, and my heart says, is this master also like that?
If the little bit of caution in her heart at this time was known by the Dao Chief, it was estimated that Gao Dao would definitely be angry with her, but this was the experience he had gained after studying tea for many years, how could he steal it?
But I didn't know that Banniang finished thinking about this, and immediately felt resentful of Lu Qiqi: Brother, the tea is so unpalatable at this time, for Mao You, a person who takes enjoying life as his duty, but does not change the production process of tea, and then benefits the people of the Great Song Dynasty who like elegance and love tea and wine in nature?
Damn it, we haven't drunk Tuanlong tea, one or two thousand gold, the real one or two tea leaves and one or two gold, but I can't buy it, if we also make a few famous teas, wouldn't it be death?
"Little friend?"
The Taoist chief called lightly, and Banniang retracted her grievances and said with a smile: "If you say where it is good, I really can't say, but look at the tea leaves of the Taoist, which can maintain the true color and shape of the tea, and it seems that after going to the green copying system, I don't think there is the original bitter taste of ordinary tea. ”
"Okay," the Taoist smiled, "Xiaoyou really has a good eye, this tea has indeed been baked by me." ”
Banniang stopped talking, got up and went to a kind of stream flowing next to the house to clean her hands with clear spring water, then sat down newly, took the kettle of the stove water next to the seat, put it for a while, and waited for the water to cool down, then brewed, because this is a cloud green tea roasted from young buds, so if the water temperature is too high, it is easy to scald the tea to death, which is not conducive to the tea fragrance to disperse, it is best to brew with water about seventy or eighty degrees Celsius, seeing that she waited for the tea to cool down for a while before brewing, the chief was a little strange, and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to let the water cool for a while?" Isn't it best to flush with boiling water? ”
Banniang smiled and asked, "Dao Chang usually brews with boiling water?" ”
The Taoist nodded.
Banniang said again: "Then wait for the Taoist to wait and see what is the difference between the tea brewed like this and the tea that the Taoist usually brews, the color, shape and taste." ”
Holding the pot, after brewing, put down the teapot, Wulang drank it by mouth, and took the jade cup, but was stopped by Banniang, and said with a smile: "This head is brewing tea, but it is not for drinking, the fifth brother should wait for a while and then taste it." ”
He carefully poured out the tea in each jade cup, and after brewing it, he first took a cup with both hands and handed it to the Taoist chief: "This cup, please also ask the Taoist to taste tea." ”
Seeing that her set of tea-making movements are like flowing water, the end is good-looking, the Taoist chief has secretly praised, took the teacup in her hand, only approached the mouth, the nose has smelled the dark fragrance, and then look at the tea in the cup, the water is green and the leaves are green, the original curly and dull tea leaves, at this time the pieces stand in the jade cup, but like a newly picked new leaf.
"Good tea, good tea." Before the entrance, the Taoist chief was already amazed, and the Gorou and the others couldn't help but look at the pieces of tea leaves in the cup that stood quietly in the water, and the clear and translucent tea soup, and they were also very surprised, it turned out that the so-called tea can also be brewed so beautifully.
"How about the Taoist Governor taste it again?"
Why does the Taoist want her to say more? I took a shallow taste, and the aftertaste was turned over, first it was slightly bitter, and then the tongue was raw, and there was no tea soup he had brewed before, and the astringency of the rebirth was very sweet and refreshing.
"It's a millimeter, it's a thousand miles. I can't imagine that the water temperature is different, and the taste of this tea is so different. Poor Dao has always been proud of being proficient in the tea ceremony, but he doesn't want Xiaoyou to be young at a young age, but he is far from being able to reach Poor Dao. But I don't know the way of making tea for little friends, who is it? ”
Banniang smiled and said humbly: "The Taoist chief praised falsely, how can there be a teacher, but everything has its way, if it is other tea, I can't brew this taste no matter what, it is really the tea of the Taoist, which is different from other teas." In fact, the reason is also very simple, I was a cook, the dishes are made more, some experience only, such as green vegetables and spinach boiled for a long time, then lose the original taste, and the color is dark and ugly, if only boiled in boiling water, then take it out immediately, not only the original color is not affected, but also can ensure the original color and original taste, I think this tea should be like this. It's just an ordinary tea, not comprehensively baked, and the astringency of leaf sweat, after being kneaded and roasted by the Taoist, it goes to the bitterness, leaving only the fragrance and sweetness, and then brewing appropriately, showing its own color and fragrance. The Taoist chief thinks, what I said is right? ”
In fact, what is the experience of cooking is just her nonsense.
In her previous life, her grandfather liked to drink tea, that set of tea scriptures, she didn't know how many times she had heard it, there were many drinks, and she had become a master, green tea brewing is the simplest, not like oolong tea and Pu'er kung fu tea, the tea set water temperature brewing time is very particular, how can the Taoist provide sweet pollution-free mountain spring water, and how can it not taste good?
When the Taoist heard his words, he first nodded, then couldn't help laughing, and said: "What Xiaoyou said is extremely true, where there is a Tao, it is a small piece of tea, and it also has its own world. ”
glanced at the faces of Wulang and the others, and took in the surprise on the faces of several people, but he continued to chat with Banniang quietly.
After talking for a while, seeing that it was almost time to meet with her brothers and sisters outside the Taoist Temple, Banniang proposed to say goodbye, and the Taoist chief was also Luotuo, and said with a smile: "I can meet a few little friends, and it is also a few little friends who have a fate with the poor road, and the Taoist has nothing else to give, but there are a few words to give to a few little friends." ”
Saying that, he glanced at Banniang, pondered for a while, Fang looked at Xiao Jiulang, and said with a smile: "This little friend, if you work hard, the future is unlimited, but Confucianism talks about moderation, Buddhism talks about hatred, and my Taoism talks about cultivating the mind. ”
Xiao Jiu didn't think much of it in his heart, but he still bowed respectfully: "Zixuan will definitely keep it in his heart, thank Dao Chang for his teachings." ”
The Taoist seemed to see through his heart, and he didn't care, and said to Wulang Zixuan and Zifu brothers: "The two of you will also do something in the future, so I won't say much about the poor road." ”
Banniang didn't know why, when she saw him looking at the fifth brother, there seemed to be a trace of invisible pity in his eyes. didn't say anything, she just asked, and it was in vain. I had to stuff it in my heart. After the chief finished speaking, he looked at Banniang, but he sighed before he smiled: "The face of this female son-in-law, but the poor Dao can't see through it." Only, the world is poor and rich, after all, it will be a passing cloud, little friend, and you should do it yourself. ”
Stretched out his hand again, and there was a copper coin with a strange pattern lying in his palm and handed it to Banniang, but he didn't know when it was included in his hand: "Today, I am fortunate to taste the tea made by Xiaoyou, and I can't thank you for it. ”
Banniang was stunned, smiled, took the copper coin in the hand of the Taoist chief with both hands, deeply blessed the Taoist chief, and replied: "Thank you for the gift, the words of the Taoist will definitely be remembered in my heart." ”
Since then, I have said goodbye to the chief. After crossing the rope bridge, I looked back, but saw that the long road was still standing under the ancient tree, his clothes were flying, quietly looking at the figure of a few people in the distance, and the little Taoist priest around him accompanied him on one side, under the blue sky, but like a landscape painting of ancient tranquility.
The three of them walked through the dense forest, and when they passed through the farmland, there were mountain people who finished their farm work and went up to the field stalks, and when they saw the three of them smiling and saying hello, and the old man who was a year older smiled and said, "A few young ladies are so blessed." ”
