Turtle fairy, anyway, this Longjing tea is quite fate with you? The distance from Wuyi Mountain to Hangzhou is much closer than from Yunzhong City to Wuyi Mountain, Shen Yibin drove most of the day to the vicinity of the West Lake, found a hotel near Shifeng Mountain to stay, and took them to Hugong Temple early the next morning, just heard the tour guide explaining the relationship between the eighteen Longjing tea trees in front of Hugong Temple and Emperor Qianlong.

This Longjing tea was sealed by Qianlong, and the shell of Gui Daxian is engraved with the name of Qianlong, and it can barely be counted as some fate, but I don't know if Gui Daxian has seen Qianlong back then?

"Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and came to the Longjing tea area four times to watch the tea picking and tasted tea poems. On the way back, the Longjing tea was brought back to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother drank the liver fire and said that this Longjing tea was like a panacea. Qianlong immediately sent a decree to seal the eighteen tea trees in front of Hugong Temple as 'imperial tea', harvested every year, exclusively for the Queen Mother to drink, since then, Longjing is famous at home and abroad, and there is an endless stream of people who ask for tea. The tour guide's explanation caused a lot of discussion among tourists.

Poof, tourists were amazed by this legendary story, but Shen Yibin almost couldn't hold back his laughter, because he remembered a certain paragraph he had read, someone was bored with Baidu, typed in the two keywords "Qianlong" and "full of praise", and searched for countless snacks at once.

For example, there are hundreds of kinds of Wuxi xiaolongbao, Zhenjiang pot lid noodles, Shih Tzu tofu, Luoding rice noodles, wheel cakes, dried Huangshan tea, and crockpot simmering soup, which range all over the country, and often have some legendary stories.

Probably some Qianlong Emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River, a certain villager took out a certain snack from his hometown, Qianlong was full of praise after tasting it, and wrote a poem or something like that, the number of stories is so much that people can't complain, some people commented, is this Qianlong the emperor? Why does it look like you're asking for food? It's just what do you have to live and eat? How many years has this been hungry?

is even more ruthless and directly commented: I think this guy is almost eating! Someone replied to the post later, eh, don't say it, maybe this person will be full of praise after eating Xiang.

Of course, most of these stories are made up by later generations in order to hype up their own snacks, but this Longjing tea is more credible, but the West Lake Longjing is much more famous than Qianlong, as early as the Tang Dynasty tea saint Lu Yu recorded in his "Book of Tea" that Tianzhu and Lingyin two temples produced good tea.

Later, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Xianglin Tea" of Tianzhu Xianglin Cave under Lingyin, the "Baiyun Tea" produced by Baiyun Peak in Tianzhu and the "Baoyun Tea" produced by Geling Baoyun Mountain have been listed as tributes, Su Dongpo and other writers tasted tea and poetry in Shousheng Temple at the foot of Longjing Shifeng Mountain, leaving a sentence of "two flags under Baiyun Peak, greasy green and long fresh valley rain spring" to praise Longjing tea, and handwritten "Old Longjing" and other plaques, so far there are still Shousheng Temple Hugong Temple, eighteen imperial tea gardens on the hanging rock at the foot of Shifeng Mountain, Shen Yibin just saw it.

The Ming Dynasty Longjing tea became more famous, the local chronicles and literati at that time had many records of Longjing tea, to the Qing Dynasty Hugong Temple in front of the eighteen ancient tea trees were named imperial tea, after thousands of years of circulation, Longjing tea finally laid the status of the world's first tea, and Shen Yibin in front of the eighteen tea trees are the boutique of Longjing tea.

Don't look at the eighteen tea trees here, several times more than the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, but the yield of tea is not as good as the mother tree of Wuyi Mountain, the eighteen tea trees in front of the palace add up to half a catty of tea a year, which is more rare than Da Hong Pao, and the tea produced is sold by the gram, and ordinary people have no chance to buy it at all.

The eighteen tea trees were surrounded by railings, and visitors could only watch from outside the railings, but this was difficult for Shen Yibin, who quietly found a secluded place to put Malfurion down, and Malfurion immediately got into the railing and began to look for the seeds of the tea trees; There are also benefits to having more tea trees, at least not as easy to find as Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao.

While listening to the tour guide tell all kinds of allusions to the eighteen trees in front of the emperor and the Longjing tea in the West Lake, he nervously waited for Malfurion's return, but fortunately, Malfurion lived up to his expectations, and secretly got back into Ha'er's pocket after more than half an hour, and Shen Yibin also left here with the tourists.

"I'll see how many?" After coming out, he found a place to eat, asked for a private room, and ordered some famous dishes of West Lake such as West Lake vinegar fish and Song sister-in-law fish soup, while waiting for the food to be served, Shen Yibin couldn't help but put his hand into Ha'er's pocket and touched it, "Yo, this time seems to be a lot more than last time?" ”

I felt a bunch of tea seeds when I started, and when I took it out and counted it carefully, I actually got nine tea seeds, which was more than double the number of Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, and Shen Yibin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

If you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable, there are eighteen ancient tea trees here, and on average, each tree is only half a tree, which is not a lot, even if there are staff carefully collected, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.

"Malfurion, come and try this pine nut." Seeing that he was expected to plant West Lake Longjing and Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao in his yard, Shen Yibin hurriedly took a small dish full of nuts to treat Malfurio.

"Squeak! Creak! Malfurion was very proud, and he took the pine nuts in his two paws and swallowed them, and just ate one or two, and the waiter began to serve them.

"Come, Ha'er, I'll pick the thorn for you." No matter how smart Ha'er and Xiaoliu are, they still move, and the work of picking fish bones is really a bit difficult for them, so they can only let Shen Yibin do it for them.

Put the fish meat in front of them after picking the thorns, Ha'er, Xiaoliu and Gui Daxian immediately ate it, Gui Daxian seems to like to eat fish very much, whether it is Song Sister-in-law's fish soup or West Lake vinegar fish, Shen Yibin pondered that maybe after going back, he could specialize in studying the practice of fish and shrimp, and strive to give Gui Daxian a special dish every day.

There are many beauties around the West Lake, but unfortunately Shen Yibin is a little worried that the delay on the road is too long, which is not conducive to the sowing of tea tree seeds, so he can only be reluctant to leave the West Lake, and even the White Lady and Su Xiaoxiao didn't have time to take a look, and embarked on the journey back to Yunzhong City.

As soon as he got on the highway, he raised the speed to the highest speed allowed by the highway, found a place to rest for the night, and in the afternoon of the next day, Shen Yibin returned to Yunzhong City.

"I'm a little tired tonight, let's drink porridge for dinner, and I'll make it for you tomorrow morning." After hastily eating dinner and brewing the tea seeds with Malfurion, Shen Yibin went to bed and snored.

Early the next morning, Shen Yibin regained his energy and prepared to start sowing tea seeds.
