Chapter 45: Ancient Books
Of course, the other two who followed Wei Wen to come, Liu Yifu can be seen after getting along for so long, and they basically came over to make up the numbers......
Wei Yu is okay, he was brought by his brother, and his attitude towards doing things is also upright, but Mu Nianyuan has been chattering constantly because of the fire before, which is comparable to a long-tongued woman, and it seems that he has been targeting himself again, which is not pleasing to the eye, why not soon let you, a son who does not touch the spring water, lose face by working, as for targeting labor and management like this, Liu Yifu almost had the urge to seal his mouth, and silently rolled his eyes at him in his heart......
If you listen to it too much, you can just be a bee buzzing, and you can selectively ignore it when you get used to it, Liu Yifu also saw that basically among these three people, Wei Wen is the main one, so he has been chatting with him about some things about tea.
And Wei Wen was surprised to find that this Xiao Langjun has a lot of insight into tea, and it seems that there is still a lot of research, although Liu Yifu is just a simple and cute little bean ding, and this little bean is particularly rebellious, and likes to brew directly with sun-dried tea leaves, but in the same way, Wei Wen found that Liu Yifu also has a lot of research on making tea, such as water selection, decoction water, tea utensils, and a series of insights, Liu Yifu told the story.
Especially about the selection of water and the method of boiling water, Wei Wen was stunned for a while, which simply opened his eyes, and he couldn't wait to go back and experiment immediately:
Water, with mountainwater, river water, well water.
Its mountains and rivers pick up milk springs and stone ponds; Its waterfall is turbulent, do not eat it. Long-term food makes people have neck problems.
And the water flows in the valley, soaked without leaking, from the fire to the frost before the suburbs, or the hidden dragon in the middle of the poison, the drinker can decide to flow its evil, so that the new spring trickles, drink. Its river water, take away the far away. Wells, take the most of them.
Boil water to boil, such as fish eyes, slight sound, for a boil; The edge of the edge is like a spring with beads, and it is two boiling; Teng waves and drum waves, for three boiling, has been on, the water is old, not edible.
At the beginning of boiling, the amount of hydration, adjust it to salt, say to abandon its sipping, the second boiling, a scoop of water, with a bamboo ring to stimulate the soup heart, then the end of the amount when the center and down. There is a moment, like a rushing wave splashing foam, to stop it with the water that comes out, and to nurture its flower.
……
Immediately, Wei Wen pondered these theories that Liu Yifu said twice, and some of them reacted, listening to the theories that Liu Yifu said, these rigorous, and even some rigorous ideas for selecting water and boiling water, without experiencing a lot of tempered tasting and experiments, how could it be possible to come up with these conclusions, Liu Yifu is only five years old, and where does he have time to study these, Wei Wen, who was born to know, didn't believe it, and thought of which "ancient book" Liu Yifu said, most of which book was it from, Wei Wen paid more attention to it, Hurriedly asked:
"Xiao Langjun's theories, but they are the same as this tea-making method, which ancient book did you see it from?"
Liu Yifu nodded, and did not deny it, but said:
"Some of the contents are yes, but the tea making method is not ......"
Liu Yifu didn't lie to him, Lu Yu developed the tea ceremony and perfected the relevant theories, but the Tang Dynasty where he was located was still mainly based on boiling tea, so the compilation of the "Book of Tea" is naturally also the theory of decoction of tea, and the perfection of the tea boiling system, for the dark cooking tea method that looks like a primitive person at this time, it is a dimensionality reduction blow, but the brewed tea that really makes tea enter the homes of ordinary people will not become popular until the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Now what Liu Yifu is doing is to prepare to step forward directly, ready to skip the tea boiling stage directly, and directly step into the tea brewing stage, well, if you can, also develop the tea brewing stage, Liu Yifu feels that the tea ceremony is still more flavorful in the form of boiling tea, and then enters the tea ceremony stage (such as gongfu tea).
Wei Wen did not doubt him, and said busily:
"Xiao Langjun, can you borrow that ancient book and take a look?" Wei Wen thought, indeed, let's just look at the hundred million eyes, and we will definitely not rely on it.
In fact, Wei Wen has already started to buy this "ancient book" at any cost, what? Didn't you claim that you absolutely didn't believe that the other party didn't have an ancient book, oops, it was before, and now it's now, I'm not afraid of comparing goods, I'm afraid of not knowing the goods, this book is written by someone who understands tea, and it makes Wei Wen's heart itch, what he said before is just swallowed back into his stomach, anyway, Liu Xiaolangjun doesn't know.
If Liu Dashao knew, he would have smacked him in his heart, but now Liu Yifu was stunned, and glanced at Wei Wen in some surprise, thinking that he underestimated Wei Wen's love of tea, where did he drop his bookbag and move, but now he is shooting himself in the foot, where can he find an ancient book of tea? This excuse is made up by himself, even if he can "find" an ancient book and write the content well, it is difficult to forge the feeling of an ancient book, and he can't use paper, only bamboo slips......
Liu Yifu had no choice but to bite the bullet and find a reason that he felt very bad and said:
"When this book was unearthed at that time, there was a little bit of tea making method and the theory that Yu just said, because it had been stored for too long, and it didn't take long to rot after finding it, and I saw that this bamboo was briefly rotten, so I had to memorize it myself......"
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!" Wei Wen said three pity, this kind of mature theory must not be able to be said by a child, and after the war at the end of Qin, Xiang Yu burned Xianyang Palace with a fire, and also burned the Qin State collection in Xianyang Palace.
Speaking of which, Wei Wen's feeling about this tea book, suddenly there is a feeling that you ignored me at the beginning, and now I can't make you climb high, at first I scoffed at this "ancient book", but now I can't ask for it, it's too difficult for me. Wei Wen thought.
