Chapter 129: Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots
Yuan Xiuzhu thought about it and took the silver ticket back.
He said, "Seeing that it's almost noon, you have come to me, how can you let you go back on an empty stomach?" I've already asked the kitchen to prepare some food, let's eat some and then go back. ”
After Qi Bokun returned to Lishui County and his grandson went to school in the academy again, he had nothing to do, he stayed here with Yuan Xiuzhu all day long, eating and drinking mixed had long become the norm, and he naturally would not shirk; And Guan Lehe has worked with Yuan Xiuzhu for many years, and he will not be polite. Both nodded in response, "Okay, then bother." ”
And Du Jinning's opinion was directly ignored by everyone.
Du Jinning was not so uninteresting, and immediately followed everyone to the flower hall.
Yuan Xiuzhu is a foodie, and his family's diet is naturally not tired of eating fine and fine, and everyone eats very happily.
When the meal was over, the people took the food down and brought tea up.
Du Jinning is very curious about tea.
The last time I went to the hot spring Zhuangzi, Yuan Xiuzhu also asked people to make tea and come out for everyone after dinner. At that time, the subordinates did not take out the tea leaves to brew, but poured the tea from the big pot to everyone, Du Jinning did not see the tea leaves, and he didn't feel good when he drank the tea soup.
It's just that at that time, she was not familiar with Yuan Xiuzhu and others, and she was in a difficult situation, and she had not escaped from Du Chensheng's control, and there was no way to talk about all the acts of making a fortune, and she had no intention of exploring how tea was, so she didn't ask at that time.
Now, she has the leisure to see the tea leaves of this era.
Because she knew that the Tang Dynasty people were popular in the sencha method, and the Song Dynasty people liked to order tea. Since this overhead era is a continuation of the Song Dynasty, they should be drinking tea soup made from the tea powder with a bamboo whisk. Not really. Could it be that history is still developing forward, and the development of tea has been the same as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with loose tea as the main and Chongqing drinking method as the main way of drinking tea?
The light green tea soup in the bowl in front of me should be naturally brewed with tea leaves, the taste is average, and it does not smell the aroma of modern famous tea, and the freshness is also greatly reduced, just like the third-grade tea si ji tea that Du Jinning has drunk.
Du Jinning followed his mentor to do projects everywhere in his previous life, but he drank a lot of good tea. Tea planting and cultivation is also one of their topics, and they also have a general understanding of how to make tea.
So she was curious and wanted to know what kind of tea they were drinking.
"Mr. Yuan, can I take a look at your tea?" She asked.
Seeing Du Jinning's eyes wide open and looking very curious, Yuan Xiuzhu smiled and said proudly: "How is it?" The product is out, right? I'm a new tea. With that, he got up and went to the next room.
Uh, okay tea? Du Jinning was speechless.
However, seeing that Qi Bokun, who has always liked to drink with Yuan Xiuzhu, did not speak, but looked like a "tea-flavored life", drinking tea soup with an intoxicated face, Du Jinning had a trace of understanding in his heart.
After a while, Yuan Xiuzhu came out, took a bag of tea in his hand, and handed it to Du Jinning.
Du Jinning opened the tea bag, and a handful of emerald green tea leaves appeared in front of her eyes.
It was really emerald green, covered with a thin layer of white hair, and each bud head was still slightly purple, and the color was brighter and more beautiful than all the tea leaves she had seen in modern times. These tea raw materials are very tender, although they are one bud and two leaves, but the leaves are wrapped around the tip of the bud, like a bamboo shoot, it is very beautiful. In short, this handful of tea leaves is more beautiful than the tea she has seen in modern times. In appearance, it is indeed a good tea.
Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots.
Du Jinning almost blurted out.
She asked Yuan Xiuzhu, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots. Yuan Xiuzhu said.
Really!
Du Jinning put the tea leaves to the tip of his nose and smelled it, although the fragrance of the tea leaves was also there, it was not obvious. She put down the tea bag, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, still as she had just drunk, the fragrance was not obvious, the taste was bitter and astringent, and the freshness was not enough.
She couldn't help but frown.
This Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, in her time and space, but the tribute tea of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu said in the "Book of Tea": "Yang Cliff Yin Forest, the purple one is on the top, and the green one is second; The bamboo shoots are on the top, and the buds are second. Hence the name of purple bamboo shoot tea.
At first, this tea was cake tea, and later during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots were transformed into strip-shaped loose tea, until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty gradually disappeared. In the twentieth century, Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots were redeveloped and excavated, and the production method was different from that of ancient times.
Now in this time and space where she lives, history turned a corner in the Song Dynasty, Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots did not appear in front of her in the form of cake and tea, but in the shape of a rope, it seems that although the long river of history has turned a corner, it still extends forward.
She had a score in her heart, her brows relaxed, and she put down the teacup.
"How? This tea is okay? Yuan Xiuzhu didn't notice the change in Du Jinning's expression, and asked Qi Bokun and Guan Lehe with a smile.
Qi Bokun pursed his lips and did not speak. Guan Lehe nodded and said appreciatively: "It's really good tea." ”
Du Jinning couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yuan, is this tea a tribute tea?" ”
"Tribute tea?" Yuan Xiuzhu gave Du Jinning a thumbs up, "Xiao Ning'er, your mouth is really good, you can taste the quality of this tea." This is indeed a tribute tea, and it is a tribute to the royal family every spring. However, it is not this loose tea that pays tribute, but cake tea. The process of cake and tea is complicated, and a lot of spices need to be added to it, which is expensive. The old man was not used to the taste of the spices, and felt that it was too luxurious, so he preferred to drink loose tea. ”
Du Jinning nodded: "I see." ”
Guan Lehe is accustomed to taking a lunch break, and after eating, he gets sleepy, and after drinking tea, he stands up and says goodbye.
Du Jinning naturally followed suit. After following Guan Lehe to the academy by car, she got out of the car and went back to Zhuangzi by herself.
Back at home, without waiting for her to put down the cloth bag in her hand, Du Fangling couldn't wait to follow up the house, told her Xie's words, and asked, "Is it okay?" ”
"Yes, that's a good thing." Du Jinning originally had the meaning of doing pi fā.
Although Du Fangling and the others went to the market to sell things in the past two days, nothing happened, but Du Jinning was not very relieved after all.
The bazaar is mixed, and there are many petty thefts. Du Fangling and Du Fanghui are good-looking, and they are still the best age to sell, so maybe someone will target them. If they were taken captive on the way home, it would be the end of it. Don't talk about others, Du Yunnian alone has to be on guard.
So it's better for them to stay at home and do things. There are people like Xie Shi who batch dried tofu, and they go to the city to sell them, and Du Fangling and them free up their hands and feet to make more dried tofu, and the benefits of letting it out will be earned, and the income is no worse than what they have worked hard to sell outside.
