Chapter 042: Longjing Tea

"Yay...... Great......" Ling Ling clapped her hands excitedly and kept jumping.

And so the first tenant of the yard was born.

Ling Ling didn't hide it from me, she now believed that I really didn't know the price of the scenic spot, so she said it 1510.

It turns out that it is difficult to rent a house in Hangzhou, and it is even more difficult in the scenic spot, even if it is an ordinary house, it will cost two or three thousand a month.

And the people who want to rent a house in the scenic spot are those who pursue the quality of life, this kind of people are not short of money, according to the environment of the yard, even if I charge 10,000 a month, it will be in short supply.

Because many people stay in private rooms in hotels in scenic spots for a long time in order to maintain their health, the environment of the yard is not comparable to those hotels.

Ling Ling left happily, she couldn't wait to move into the yard, so she went to carry her luggage.

After Ling Ling left, the sloppy old man also turned around and entered the inner courtyard, and patted me on the shoulder as she left.

"For the next one, you can make up your own mind...... She has no ill intentions......"

There was something in the old saying, which made me scratch my head, and just when he was confused, a white woman came over.

The woman was wearing a long white dress with a cyan ribbon tied around her waist, and the moment I saw her, my heart was filled with huge waves.

Because she is wearing the same costume as her original concubine.

This woman is not a person!

I stared at the woman, this woman was delicate and beautiful, very charming, looking a little weak, but with a stubbornness.

The woman walked to the front of the courtyard and looked at me silently, looking at each other silently.

It was a pair of extremely bright eyes, but with a bit of melancholy, and just one glance at them made people feel distressed.

"You ......"

I spoke softly, and the presence of the woman made me feel less dangerous.

"Childe, help me!" The woman looked at me and suddenly knelt down.

I hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out my hand to help the woman up, but found that the woman's hands were unusually cold, and her hands were cold and piercing in the hot summer.

"You...... You ......" I quickly stepped back to look at the woman, and at that moment, I almost felt like my soul was going to be frozen.

"Childe, don't be surprised, the slave and maid have no malicious ......"

The woman remained on her knees and refused to get up.

"You are?" I looked at the woman suspiciously.

"Qiantang Su Xiaoxiao is also ......" The woman looked at me with her eyes and said softly.

"Su ...... Sue...... Su Xiaoxiao! I stared at the woman with wide eyes.

It is rumored that Su Xiaoxiao's soul will not be dispersed after his death, and he often haunts the flowers by the Xiling Bridge, is the legend true?

Su Xiaoxiao is a person from the Six Dynasties period, more than a thousand years ago. During the Southern Qi Dynasty, he was a famous kabuki and often rode on an oil-walled car. There are many literati in the past dynasties, such as Bai Juyi and Li He in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Dai in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Juren and Yu Qiuyu in modern times, all wrote poems about Su Xiaoxiao. Some writers believe that Su Xiaoxiao is "China's version of the Lady of the Camellias".

Su Xiaoxiao has been able to write and write poetry since he was a child, and he is full of literary talent, but unfortunately his parents died when he was young, and he lived in his aunt's house by the Xiling Bridge in Qiantang. Although she is a kabuki, she knows how to love herself and does not follow the crowd. Su Xiaoxiao loves the landscape of the West Lake very much, and made a self-made oil-walled car to travel around the lakeside mountains. One day, walking along the lake embankment, I met the young Ruan Yu, fell in love at first sight, and formed a good relationship. But soon Ruan Yu's father, who was an official in Beijing, sent someone to urge him to return. Ruan Yu said goodbye and there was no news. Su Xiaoxiao's affection is unforgettable, and she misses it all the time.

Su Xiaoxiao sympathized with the poverty of scholar Bao Ren and generously donated money to fund him to go to Beijing to take the exam. After Su Xiaoxiao was framed and imprisoned, he was seriously ill, and before he died, he instructed the people waiting around him: "I have nothing to ask for, but to bury my bones in Xiling after death." Bao Ren, who was supposed to take the test, later complied with Su Xiaoxiao's wish to "bury the bones in Xiling", so he funded the construction of a tomb on the side of the Xiling Bridge, and set up a stone tablet in front of the tomb, with the inscription "Qiantang Su Xiaoxiao's Tomb".

Su Xiaoxiao's story first appeared in "Yutai New Song", and "Yuefu Guangjie" also has relevant records. According to legend, he was a famous prostitute in Southern Qi, beautiful and gorgeous, and intelligent and talented. Some local historical records, legends, and operas in history further interpret Su Xiaoxiao into an image with a full personality.

At this moment, two familiar figures walked in from outside the gate. The people who came were Jin Lei and Ruan Lina.

"Why are you two here?" I looked at them curiously.

"The tenants have arrived, how can we not come?"

Only then did I understand that Ye Heping would be so kind as to give me this huge manor, and he gave me this manor, first, because he wanted to corrupt me with these material wealth, so that he could tie me to his chariot and drive me for him, and secondly, he used this place as a secret base, and the case of the connoisseur of beauty was probably solved here.

"Hehe, I know that Yeheping, that old boy won't be so cheap for me." I wasn't surprised, "If he wasn't holding back any fart, it wouldn't be normal." ”

Jin Lei glanced at me, what are the consequences of saying bad things about Ye Heping in front of her, I don't know if I say it, but she held back, it is estimated that Ye Heping has repeatedly ordered that she will not be allowed to do anything to me. So, no matter what I say, she doesn't dare to mess around.

"Things are really getting more and more exciting, first Wang Zhaojun was resurrected, and now there is another Su Xiaoxiao, oh no, and you Hua ......" I realized that Jin Lei might not know that she was Mulan in her previous life, so I swallowed it back in the middle of the words, so as not to cause trouble.

"What am I?" Jin Lei asked.

"It's nothing, the flower girl is okay."

"Bastard!"

"Hey, forget my sister, the professor said, don't grudge against him, all actions must be under his command, don't be rash!"

"But!" Jin Lei was angry, and dodged her feet fiercely.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Ruan Lina persuaded.

"Look at it, it's still your sister's sanity." I winked at Ruan Lina.

"Hmph, don't get complacent too soon." Jin Lei gave me a blank look, "Let's see." ”

"We'll see."

I snorted coldly and said, "Two beauties, both are here, let's come in and talk." ”

As soon as we went in and sat down, Ruan Lina took out a bag and put it on the coffee table, and when she opened it, it was a set of exquisite purple clay pot tea sets, as well as two tea jars of Yue kiln celadon.

"It'......" I said, confused.

"Drink tea!" Ruan Lina put the teapot one by one, skillfully brewed three cups of tea, and handed it to me.

Confused, I took the teacup and asked, "You can't really be here for tea, are you?" ”

"Taste it first, this is the authentic West Lake Longjing."

West Lake Longjing tea has a long history, the earliest can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China, when the famous tea saint Lu Yu, in the world's first tea monograph "The Book of Tea", there is a record of tea production in Hangzhou Tianzhu and Lingyin Temple. The name of West Lake Longjing tea began in the Song Dynasty, smelled in the Yuan, Yang in the Ming, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. In the course of more than 1,000 years of historical evolution, West Lake Longjing tea has gone from unknown to famous, from the home-cooked drink of the common people after dinner to the tribute of emperors and generals, from the famous tea of the Chinese nation to the famous product of the world, and began its glorious period.

As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, the Longjing tea area has initially formed a scale, when the "Xianglin Tea" of Tianzhu Xianglin Cave under Lingyin, the "Baiyun Tea" produced by Baiyun Peak in Tianzhu and the "Baoyun Tea" produced in Geling Baoyun Mountain have been listed as tributes. The Northern Song Dynasty monk Dialectical Master returned to his hometown, but also the place where he tasted tea and chanted poetry in Shousheng Temple at the foot of Longjing Shifeng Mountain with Su Dongpo and other writers, Su Dongpo has "two flags under Baiyun Peak new, greasy green long fresh valley rain spring" sentence praise Longjing tea, and handwritten "old Longjing" and other plaques, so far there are still Shousheng Temple Hugong Temple, eighteen imperial tea gardens in the hanging rock at the foot of Shifeng Mountain.

West Lake Longjing is one of the top ten famous teas in China, it is a green tea, which is produced in the mountains around West Lake Longjing Village in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and is named after it, with a history of more than 1,200 years. When Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the West Lake in Hangzhou, he praised the Longjing tea of the West Lake, and sealed the eighteen tea trees in front of the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain as "imperial tea". West Lake Longjing is divided into 1~8 grades according to the priority of appearance and endoplasm.

The premium West Lake Longjing tea is flat, smooth and straight, the color is tender and green, the aroma is fresh and tender, the taste is fresh and sweet, and the bottom of the leaves is delicate and delicate. The Longjing tea harvested before the Qingming Festival is referred to as Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, and it is called the daughter red, "the wind outside the courtyard is laughing, and the daughter of Longjing before the Ming Dynasty is red." West Lake Longjing tea, like West Lake, is the perfect crystallization of people, nature and culture, and is an important carrier of West Lake regional culture.

West Lake Longjing The word "Longjing" is not only the name of tea, but also the name of tea trees, as well as the name of the village, the name of the well and the name of the temple, which can be described as "five dragons in one". The production area of Longjing tea is distributed in the Xiushan Peak around Longjing Village in the southwest of West Lake in Hangzhou, so it is called "West Lake Longjing Tea". The "Longjing Tea" in the West Lake Mountain Area has three categories: "Shifeng Longjing", "Meiwu Longjing" and "West Lake Longjing". "Shifeng Longjing" is produced in Longjing Village, Lion Peak, Wengjia Mountain, the aroma is sharp and lasting, the taste is fresh and mellow, the color is slightly yellow, known as "brown beige". "Meiwu Longjing" is produced in Yunqi and Meijiawu area, the appearance is very beautiful, flat and smooth, and the color is emerald green. "West Lake Longjing" leaves are fat and tender, and the taste is not as good as the first two. Among the three categories, "Shifeng Longjing" has the best quality. High-grade "Longjing tea" should be brewed with boiling water at about 85 °C, after brewing, the buds and leaves are a flag and a gun, and the clusters are staggered in the cup, the buds and leaves are upright, up and down, and lifelike.

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, the two of you are here today, it should be related to Longjing." I took a sip, and it was delicious.

"Good tea!"

Jin Lei and Ruan Lina glanced at each other, as if they were surprised that I could guess this meaning, and then said, "It's really smart!" ”

"It's over, Professor Ye always likes to beat around the bush when he speaks, let's talk about something!"

"Look at this." After speaking, Jin Lei handed over another tablet, "This is top-secret information, we can't give you the original, you can see it, but you can't take it." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your information."

After speaking, I took the tablet, clicked on it, and a document came into view:
