Chapter 9 Time Cooks Rain

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, this is the opening of the Chinese people's eight things, is an overview of the Chinese people's daily necessities, tea as a traditional Chinese drink, has many uses. At the same time, tea culture occupies a pivotal position in many Chinese cultures, and it is also a treasure of traditional Chinese culture.

The origin of tea is said to be in ancient times, there was a period of time, the tribes stopped attacking each other, so that the tribes of the people in the natural disasters and man-made disasters to get a little respite, the tribe of Yandi Shennong after years of reproduction, the population is growing, along with the growth of the population There are also many problems, and the most important thing is the shortage of food, the daily hunting of the strong people has gradually been unable to meet the needs of the population in the tribe, many people are sick or even starve to death because they can not get enough food, Seeing this situation, Emperor Yan Shennong wondered if he could find suitable food for people to eat from plants, so he tasted all kinds of herbs, and after years of trying, summarized the grains, herbs and tea found in the herbs. To this day, the Chinese people still eat grains as their staple food, and many people in the world love to drink tea.

Since then, tea has appeared on the stage of history as an important beverage in China, and tea culture has been derived.

Huaguo's tea culture also occupies an important position in the world's beverage culture, which covers, Huaguo's traditional etiquette, ceramic skills, health preservation, architectural gardens, mood and other elements, tea tasting is not only the tea itself, but also the traditional culture of Huaguo, is to integrate the culture of Huaguo for thousands of years into a bowl of tea soup, which makes people have a long aftertaste.

Wu Yu was a little depressed, why? Just because he was issued a good person card, although the card was issued by his own students, since when did the word good make people so awkward?

Tea tasting Wu Yi is a layman, after all, he has never been in contact with the tea ceremony in his two lives, he thinks that drinking tea is to quench his thirst, you let him sit there and slowly taste a cup of tea, it will make him feel that it is a waste of time, he can already hack dozens of people to death for such a long time. His second brother invited him to drink tea so many times before and after, and he drank it all directly, which was similar to drinking. The second brother's evaluation of him is that drinking tea is like a cow chewing a peony, and he doesn't know its taste. Of course, this is still a relatively elegant statement, and if it is not elegant, it will be directly called a soft-shell reptile, or the kind of waterway amphibious. Therefore, from the time Wu Yu knew about the challenge project, he knew that there were two things he had to admit defeat, one was to talk about the Tao, and the other was to taste tea. The former is because he can't say anything about killing the Tao, and the latter is because he is a dirt bun and doesn't know the Tao of drinking tea at all.

When he came back to his senses, Wu Yu saw Shu Qingsu's hand patted lightly and said, "Come in." First of all, four women in red walked into the classroom, and their hands and feet cleared out a vacant space, and then there were four men in green clothes, carrying a tea table of rosewood, and the tea chair walked into the classroom and placed it in the open space that had just been cleared, exuding the unique fragrance of rosewood, and then four women in green carried two objects into the classroom, one of which was a bucket of mountain spring water, the bucket did not touch the ground, and there were two of the women who carried it, and there was no bucket lid on the bucket, but covered the water with lotus petals. So that it is not contaminated with a trace of smoke, and the other is a charcoal stove, the charcoal fire in the furnace is booming, and the heat is just right. Immediately afterwards, four women dressed in gold and holding tea sets walked in, the four women were tall, delicate, with warm smiles on their faces, they were holding pots and cups and saucers, each of which was a fine product. Finally, two white-clothed women walked into the classroom, like two snow lotuses side by side, coming from afar, their facial features are delicate and the same, tall and plump, long hair like a waterfall, and a retro long skirt, looking noble and cold. There are only two cans of tea leaves in the arms of these two juxtaposed flowers. The tea cans are tightly closed and do not leak a trace of tea fragrance, but the tea leaves sealed in valuable tea cans must not be ordinary.

Wu Yi was a little stunned by the scene in front of him, not that he hadn't seen it, you must know that in the ancient immortal realm, he had seen a bigger scene than this. It's just that what he doesn't understand is that drinking tea in Huaguo requires such a big battle? He really wants to say that you can all go directly to the Spring Festival Gala. I can definitely be nominated for my favorite Spring Festival Gala.

Wu Yi couldn't help but think of the information he saw last night.

Shu Qing was born on September 9, 2000, in the Shu family of the magic capital, and her maternal grandfather is Ye Jiefang, one of the top bosses of the Chinese Military Department. The Shu family is a family of tea ceremony, starting with tea, planting tea, picking tea, making tea, boiling tea, and tasting tea are the top level in China, Shu Qing as the daughter of the Shu family did not get the care and cultivation she deserved, her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and was regarded as an unknown person by the Shu family. But her grandfather knew her like a jewel and loved her very much. Shu Qing has been extremely talented in the tea ceremony since she was a child, and she can smell and understand tea, but she has not been treated well by her family, so she has no opportunity to learn the tea art of the Shu family. But it didn't stop Shu Qing from learning tea, and it is said that after she was five years old, a white-bearded grandfather taught her tea ceremony every night until she was twelve years old. When Shu Qing was five years old, she adopted 18 orphans through her grandfather and studied tea ceremony with her. When Shu Qing was twelve years old, he fought tea with the first person in the Shu family tea ceremony and won the battle. Then these people were exposed, and the whistleblower said that they were the servants of the Shu family, and the Shu family challenged the Chinese constitution and despised human rights. For a while, the Shu family was pushed to the cusp, reputation, and industry were greatly impacted, in order to calm the turmoil, the head of the Shu family announced that Shu Qing would be expelled from the house, and everything was pushed on Shu Qing's body, for a time this girl was criticized by public opinion quite miserable, and finally her grandfather Ye Jiefang looked down on it, this upright old man, for his granddaughter called the relevant departments for the first time, and then announced the 18 orphans and granddaughter Shu Qing's tea learning bits and pieces, Only then did the world know that they were not raised domestic servants, but eighteen children adopted by Ye Jiefang. The matter was calmed down by this, but through this incident, people became more interested in Shu Qing's tea ceremony, and their attention to her increased. In order to avoid these worldly troubles, Shu Qing moved to Feng City and started a new study life.

After the dozen or so people were ready, Shu Qing also stood behind the tea table, with piety on her face, showing her tea ceremony.

In the tea ceremony culture, drinking tea is divided into thirteen ways, the first way to clean hands and clean utensils, the second way to warm the pot with soup cups, the third way to enter the palace, the fourth way to wash tea, the fifth way to brew, the sixth way to blow the face, the seventh way to seal the pot, the eighth way to divide the cup, the ninth way to return to the pot with jade liquid, the tenth way to return to the pot, the eleventh dish to serve tea, the twelfth to smell the fragrance, and the thirteenth to taste tea.

Among them, the first eleven courses are for the tea master to show the charm of the tea ceremony for everyone, and the last two courses are for the tea taster to evaluate the tea master's skills.

However, Shu Qing's tea ceremony seems to be different from others, and her tea ceremony is not so cumbersome. Her skillful and skillful skills, coupled with that pilgrimage-like piety, are really as pleasing to the eye as a fairy in tea. The position of the other eighteen people and Shu Qing's position faintly resemble a formation, as if the scene here has become a painting. Let people unconsciously indulge in it, a glance for thousands of years.

Between Wu Yi's thoughts, Shu Qing had already boiled four bowls of tea, three of the four tea bowls were steaming, and the last bowl was as calm as a 10,000-year-old ice lake, not only without a trace of heat, but with a faint coolness, which made people a little curious.

Shu Qing gave a salute to Wu Yu and said, "Teacher Wu, please make tea." ”

Wu Yu said: "Thank you." ”

Then, he directly picked up the first tea bowl and drank it, tasted it for a while, and said, "Good tea." Then I drank three bowls in a row, and then there was no more.

The first three bowls of tea, judging from Wu Yu's experience, are no different, they are all a little bitter in the mouth, and then the aftertaste is a little sweet. It is very suitable for the philosophical idea of bitter and then sweet. But the last bowl of tea is different from the previous three, it is not hot tea, but ice. As soon as Wu Yu drank it, it was like eating a large portion of ice cream on dog days, and he couldn't help but say: "Cool." ”

The classmates around were dumbfounded, Mr. Wu didn't know anything about the tea ceremony, he was a nouveau riche, and he really wanted as many turtles. They felt that it was a great shame to lose to such a person.

Shu Qing saw that he finished drinking the tea, and was slightly distressed, and asked, "Teacher Wu, how is this tea?" ”

Wu Yu said: "These four bowls of tea are very delicious. ”

Shu Qing said: "Then teacher, can you tell which kind of tea they are?" What are the features? How do you cook it? ”

Wu Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Actually, Wu Yu lied, he identified the last tea, just because he had drunk it from his second brother before, and the taste was unique, so he remembered this tea. This kind of tea is called Snow Mountain Bingyan, it is an extremely rare tea, it is said that there is only such a tea tree in the mortal world above the Snow Ridge of Kunlun Mountain, its flowers are vermilion, but the leaves are snow-white. The leaves are on top and the flowers are on the bottom, which is different from the general tea tree. Looking at it from a distance, it is very in line with the artistic conception of Zhu Yan and white hair. The tea leaves can only be picked after the camellia dissipates, and the tea leaves at this time are the precious snow mountain ice face, otherwise the leaves are just ordinary leaves.

Wu Yi was surprised not by its rarity, but by the fact that this kind of tea from Snow Mountain Bingyan was already cold, and if you want to boil it, it will take at least three days for all the fire, but just now Shu Qing only took dozens of minutes to boil it. Wu Yu has seen that the fire used to boil tea is an ordinary charcoal fire, and it is not a matter of fire, it is a matter of time. Don't?

Wu Yi had a conjecture in his heart, and looked at Shu Qing carefully, Wu Yi felt that his heart was numb to find himself, and he saw a wisp of Dao intent, and it was also the Dao of Time Dao. Wu Yi thought, well, I've seen so many monsters, and I don't care about one more. The last cup of tea is really made with time, and time is really a luxury to make tea.

Shu Qing didn't ask again, he knew that Wu Yu was not pretending, he really didn't know how to do the tea ceremony. Shu Qing's heart was a little happy, and at the same time a little angry, after all, the way Wu Yu drank tea just now was disrespectful to tea in Shu Qing's opinion. But he still said humbly: "Then, Mr. Wu, you lost this game." ”

Wu Yu also said in a humble manner: "Well, I lost." What kind of request do you want to make? ”

Shu Qing said: "Teacher Wu, I can see from these challenges that you are a capable person, and I think it is a wise move for the school to send you to us as a teacher. Although, you didn't win me in the tea tasting, but you still won the whole challenge. We will all obey your discipline in the future, but I hope you will not force us to give up the perseverance in our hearts over the years because of our studies. In order to hold on to the dreams in our hearts, we have really endured a lot over the years. ”

Wu Yi was really moved after hearing this, most people will waver when they are subjected to many blank eyes and doubts on the road to success, and even more will directly give up the persistence in their hearts and go with the flow. But the students in this class, because they insist on their dreams, will be misunderstood, and will be assigned to this class by the school and teachers. It is regarded as a plague by all people, and disliked by all people. They are a group of beginner seekers, who like something to the point of obsession, so they persevere, regardless of the white eyes and disdain around them, and strive to get closer to their dreams step by step.

Wu Yu said: "Okay, I promise you, I will not force you to give up your persistence, and I will try my best to help you realize your dreams." ”

After Wu Yi finished speaking, the whole class applauded. In the past, whether it was a teacher, a classmate, or a family member, they all felt that they were not doing their job properly, greedy for fun and tired of learning, but who really calmed down to understand what they were thinking? Since childhood, apart from prejudice, it is still prejudice, and it has not been understood, and it has not enjoyed fairness. But Wu Yi understood their persistence, so the students' hearts were much less troubled by Wu Yi.

As early as a thousand years ago, there were two ancient sayings in Huaguo called "education without class" and "teaching according to aptitude", but after a thousand years, educators in Huaguo only judged the level by their grades, and they did not know whether they were progressing or regressing. Time to cook rain, does it make people more and more utilitarian?
