Chapter 181: White Dew Tea
When the heat passes, it will soon be white dew. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
I am now very sensitive to the changes in seasons and climate.
Especially that night, when I was caught off guard and heard my father's words to me, all kinds of emotions came flooding up, and I fell into an unusually tired state after being extremely excited.
So much so that for many days, I couldn't sleep properly, and I only slept two or three hours a day. All that appeared in my mind was what my father had said, and I chewed on every sentence, every word, and tasted it over and over again, until now I feel dizzy as if in a dream.
However, this wonderful feeling has sharpened my senses, and I can clearly perceive that the temperature is very invisibly cooler day after day.
The words I heard suddenly from my father, though they also evoked sorrow about separation, were more about something more wonderful - I felt as if I had suddenly gained strength.
It turns out that I have never been alone, never have been. It turns out that there are people in this world who love you silently and think about your interests, but they don't need to reciprocate, understand, and be grateful.
My father was willful, knowing that I was very likely to inherit his talents, but he insisted that I have an ordinary and happy childhood and even a young adult. My second uncle hated this, but after my parents died, he didn't hesitate to kick me out of the house in order to prevent my blood awakening.
This means that the second uncle would rather I hate him than preserve the hard-won peace that my father left for me, right?
Now, when I actually started the battle against the ogre, even though it was only a few months, I still felt that those battles and pains were extremely long. I'm also injured in battle, and the awakened blood makes the wound heal quickly, but the pain doesn't change much. Moreover, I don't like to kill, no matter what the other person is, and no matter what kind of survival they choose, taking away life is a cruel thing, and it is what I hate the most.
It's just that I've experienced so much pain in just this short period of time, so what about them who have accepted their identity as demon hunters and guarded humans day after day from the very beginning?
Compared to them, the first 20 years of my life were too happy and peaceful.
So at the moment, I am calmer than ever, and I am more excited than ever. I originally thought that this was a ruthless world, and even my own relatives ruthlessly abandoned me, and the warmth I experienced was actually obtained from a group of strange demons. But now, as it turns out, I have more than I know.
I don't know what our world will become, and whether or not our efforts will eventually lead to a good result, I cherish every second of the present more than ever. Even if every day of life is now filled with fighting, it is still a calm before the storm.
So, everything I learned in Boring Fast, those daily routines that have inherited ancient traditions, even at special moments like now, I have not let go.
"Sister Liqing, let's go collect medicine!"
Liqing was drinking the tea I had made, and the afternoon sun was shining on her body, and she squinted her eyes, looking very pleasant, like a lazy cat.
The tea at this time is delicious and has a very special taste. Since making tea and entertaining customers and talking about business is a necessary part of my life in the days at home, my tea-making skills are quite good, and everyone who is bored is amazed by the tea I make.
This time, the tea was favored by them, which made my heart feel very comforted.
Because this time the tea was fried by myself.
In a year, there are two periods that are more suitable for drinking tea, one is the Qingming Valley rain in spring, and the second is the white dew in autumn.
Just like the growth of human beings, tea changes with time and the changes of the seasons.
Spring tea, whether it is Ming Qian tea or Guyu tea, has a spring-like delicateness. The taste is light, fresh and tangy, and there is an exciting taste in the mouth, as if everything is as new, full of youthful breath, full of vitality, and feeling that everything is full of hope.
But such a beautiful tea, the only regret is that it is very forbidden to brew, after one or two brews, the taste is gone, and the taste of early spring that can be enjoyed is really as rare and fleeting as youth. But autumn tea is different, its flavor becomes dense and long, even after a few brews, it can still retain the aftertaste.
With Bailu as the boundary, the tea picked before Bailu is called early autumn tea, and the tea after it is late autumn tea. Tea trees have experienced the scorching summer heat and will re-enter the peak growth period in autumn. The tea at this time will not be as delicate as spring tea, nor will it be jerky and bitter like summer tea, but unconsciously form a rich, mellow and unique taste.
It's like going through a long period of suffering, and I originally had a stomach full of pain, but gradually became transparent and introverted due to my insight into the world, and I didn't want to express it more. This is probably the helplessness and maturity of "now that I have tasted all the sorrows, I want to say that I will rest, but the weather is cool and autumn".
After all, autumn is the coldest winter of the year. And this year's winter must be particularly harsh.
Since no one in the market has the heart to make any seasonal autumn tea, we can only collect it ourselves. The fresh tea leaves I collected couldn't be brewed and drunk directly, so I found my own recipe and learned to fry it myself.
Now it seems that it is working out quite well.
"Didn't you just pick the tea leaves? Why do you have to collect medicine again? ”
Hu Liqing drank tea and complained, but there was no impatience.
"Isn't there a saying? On the day of Bailu, ten kinds of medicinal herbs with the word 'white' in the name are used to make chicken soup to drink, which seems to have a special effect? ”
"Huh? It seems that there is such a saying. Liqing looked thoughtful, "It seems that I tried it once a long, long time ago." But how long ago was that? ”
If even she thinks it's been a long time, then it must be a long time, and it must not be the same concept as ours "a long time".
However, it is quite fun to come up with ten kinds of medicinal herbs with the word "white" in their names and collect them in the right place, just like a game. This kind of thing Liqing usually doesn't miss, let alone oppose.
"Let's think of one by one, and I'll write them down." I raised my pen in my hand.
"Huh? I wasn't interested in herbs at all, so I couldn't remember their names. This kind of thing is still in Lidong, you ask him to say, don't say ten, even a hundred can he say it. ”
Lidong is indeed good at this. The yard where we live is full of plants, and in addition to fragrant flowers, there are many kinds of rare medicinal herbs.
These plants, which are used as medicinal herbs, also look very good when they bloom.
Lidong is good at preparing medicines, and even the Chinese medicine I take when I have a cold is prescribed by him. It is often said that there is no specific medicine for a cold, and in any case, it will take about a week to get better. But the cold medicine prepared by Lidong broke my common sense, I drank the medicine, covered the quilt and slept for a while, and the next day I kept my body as light as a swallow, and there were no problems.
