Volume 1 Nandu: Prosperity in the Last Days Chapter 73 Zhang Zongzi

When everyone heard Li Xiaojun's voice, it was like beating chicken blood, and they all shouted, Zhang Dai raised his hand to stop their noise, turned to Zhaobi and saluted, "Since everyone Li is inside, why don't you come out and see it?" ”

Hearing that it was the voice of Tao Gong, Li Xiaojun smiled faintly and replied, "Since the rules have been established, everyone should abide by them." ”

Zhang Dai saw that her voice was very calm, and he couldn't help but feel shocked, and then remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and hurriedly said, "Everyone Li, Zhang Dai in Xiashanyin, the word Zongzi, the number Tao Nunnery, I came to listen to the girl's Xianle, and don't want to excuse myself." ”

Hearing that he was Zhang Dai, Li Xiaojun was overjoyed, and said in his heart that you were Zhang Dai who let the master pass the sword gate. My master and his old man have been singing songs all his life, and his disciples and grandchildren are all over the world, but he was planted in the hands of your juniors, which made his old man depressed for half a month, and he didn't even like to drink his favorite meatball soup. Today you fell into my hands, hehe...... Master, the apprentice avenged you today!

She had heard of Zhang Dai's name in her previous life, and after coming to this era, she often heard her master mention him, saying how powerful his ears were and how she planted them in his hands. After half a month, she knew a lot of anecdotes about him, and when she saw that he was well-dressed and took the initiative to greet him, she asked with a fake smile, "Oh...... Is that the Zhang Dai who wrote "Watching the Snow in the Lake Pavilion"? ”

His "Watching the Snow in the Lake Pavilion" and Su Shi's "Night Tour of Ji Chengtian Temple" have the same effect, and in later generations, they were selected as classic essays in Chinese textbooks, but Li Xiaojun came to see them as ghost stories, and this time he saw the original author, Li Xiaojun was overjoyed, so he blurted out.

Zhang Dai was a little confused, and said that I had gone to see the snow, but I didn't write it, did you remember wrong? But he was a delicate person, thinking that she remembered wrong, and he couldn't bear to demolish her, so he sneered, "In the fifth year of Chongzhen, I once went to the West Lake to see the snow on the first night of the middle of winter, and met a few friends from the southern capital, so they drank together. ”

Li Xiaojun understood when he heard him talk about "Chongzhen for five years", it turned out that he just went to see the snow, and now he hasn't written it yet, so he rashly opened a yellow cavity.

Seeing that he took the initiative to lie for himself, Li Xiaojun's heart eased, so he changed the topic and said, "Oh...... Maybe I'm mistaken! Is 'Meigong straddles the deer, and the autumn breeze is played in Qiantangjiang County' is a couplet between you and Chen Meigong? ”

Hearing him tell this anecdote, everyone laughed together, "Ah...... The eldest lady is right, this is Tao Gong's proud work! ”

Zhang Dai also smiled proudly, "It turns out that Miss Li also knows this allusion. ”

This is Zhang Dai's childhood, when he was eight years old, he followed his grandfather Zhang Rulin to Hangzhou to play, and met his grandfather's friend Chen Jiru in Qiantang County. Chen Jiru is a famous man in the world, although he has never been an official in his life, but he is very famous in the forest, because he often rides a big-horned deer sent by Zhang Rulin to travel around the mountains and rivers, so he got the nickname of "Lu Gong".

This time, Chen Meigong and Zhang Rulin met unexpectedly, and they were overjoyed, and they heard that although Zhang Dai was young, he was very good at poetry, so he proposed to test him in person. Zhang Dai had the reputation of a prodigy when he was a child, and he was young and vigorous, so he naturally wanted to show off his knowledge, and he agreed when he heard the words.

Chen Meigong pointed to a picture of Taibai riding a whale hanging on the wall in the reception room and said, "I have a pair of couplets here: Taibai rides a whale and fishes for the night moon by the quarry river." Can you match the next link? ”

Chen Meigong suddenly came up with this upper link, and before he could come up with the next link, Zhang Dai had already blurted out, "Meigong crossed the deer, and the autumn wind was playing in Qiantang County." ”

Chen Meigong is free and uninhibited by nature, and often lives in a friend's house for half a year, Xiao Zhang Dai mocked him in front of him about this, Chen Jiru not only did not think he was angry when he heard it, but felt that he was childish, and immediately cited him as a New Year's friend.

Li Xiaojun said, "Zhang Zongzi is against Meigong, and the matter of drinking tea with Min Laozi is a beautiful conversation in Shilin, although the little woman does not leave the house, she also knows it." ”

The story of Zhang Dai and Min Wenshui making friends with tea is another good story-

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Dai went to Nanjing to travel elegantly, and heard that the tea of Taoye Du Min Wenshui was a must, and the princes and nobles, literati and ink writers all flocked to it, so he deliberately took a day to visit. But Min Wenshui was not there that day, and he waited in the tea stall without leaving. I waited for a day, and it wasn't until late in the evening that Min Wenshui came back from outside.

Zhang Dai saw him come back and hurriedly stood up and wanted to say a few words, but the old man suddenly shouted, "Oops, I forgot to take my crutches." ”

After speaking, he didn't say hello to Zhang Dai, turned around and left.

Zhang Dai had no choice but to continue to wait.

Min Wenshui went to get the crutches, and delayed for half a day, and when he came back, it was already dark, and Zhang Dai was still there. Min Wenshui saw that he was so patient and embarrassed to continue to take the shelf, so he asked, "The guest is still here, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Dai waited for a whole day, and finally talked to him at this time, it stands to reason that he should be full of complaints, but he was not angry at all, but replied very happily, "I heard that Wen Lao's tea is a must in the southern capital, I have admired it for a long time, and if I don't drink the tea made by Wen Lao today, I will never leave." ”

Min Laozi admired his patience very much, and coupled with his good looks and graceful manners, he introduced him into the tea room. Min Wenshui boils water, makes tea, and pours pots, and the operation is sharp, which is as beautiful as an art, and he admires it.

After the tea came up, Zhang Dai asked, "Where does this tea come from?" ”

Min Wenshui intended to take the school exam, so he deliberately said nonsense, "It's Langyuan tea." ”

Langyuan tea is produced in Langzhong, Sichuan, where the climate is mild and humid, the land is fertile, and it is an ideal environment for tea trees to grow, and the tea produced is famous for its unique floral fragrance and warm taste. Zhang Dai drank tea all over the world, naturally knew Langyuan tea, listened to his words and tasted it lightly, then shook his head and said, "It's the preparation method of Langyuan tea, but the taste is not like it." ”

Min Wenshui smiled slyly and continued to take the school exam, "Tell me where this tea is produced?" ”

Zhang Dai tasted it again, "It's a bit like Luo Kai tea." ”

Luo Jie tea is Jie tea, because the late Tang Dynasty celebrity Luo Yin (that is, the person who wrote 'I am not famous and unmarried') once lived in seclusion here, so it is also called Luo Jie tea, produced in Yixing County, Wuxi Prefecture, so it is also known as Yangxian tea. There are lush forests and bamboos everywhere, and famous springs are inlaid in between. The tea grows between the mountain springs and flowing water, which can be described as Zhong Lingyuxiu's "stunner".

Luo Jie tea comes with a baby milk flavor, the longer the stronger it is, and there is the endorsement of the tea saint Lu Yu, so it is the crown of the tribute tea of the imperial court since the Tang Dynasty, and there is a saying that "the Son of Heaven has not tasted Yangxian tea, and the grass does not dare to bloom first". The price, naturally, is also very gratifying, one or two teas can be exchanged for two or three stone grains during the Chongzhen period, and they may not be able to buy it.

Seeing him frowning and pondering frequently, Min Wenzi knew that he had already noticed his secret method of making tea, and couldn't help but say, "Strange, it's really strange!" ”

Zhang Dai asked again, "Where is the water?" ”

Min Wenshui said: "Hui spring water." ”

Huiquan is Wuxi Huishan Spring, one of the four famous springs in China, ranking second, so it is also known as the second spring, and the two springs in the blind A Bing's "Two Springs Reflecting the Moon" come from here. Huiquan was also opened by the tea saint Lu Yu, so it is also known as Lu Ziquan. The water is filtered with quartz sand, which is unique to the region, and the water is light and has a luscious taste compared to other spring waters, making it a favorite among tea drinkers.

Zhang Dai smiled when he heard that the water he used to make tea was Huiquan water, "Don't lie to me, Huiquan is thousands of miles away, and the water transported to Nanjing is not fresh for a long time, but your water is fresh and clear, what is the reason?" ”

Min Wenshui praised again: "Sure enough, it is an expert, this is indeed Huishan spring water." Just before drawing water, it is necessary to dig out the spring well, wait for the new spring water to pour in in the second half of the night before drawing water, and wait for the wind on the river to sail and sail to transport water, so the water is still clear and free of debris after arriving in Nanjing. ”

Zhang Dai nodded and praised when he heard this, "Sure enough, he is an expert!" ”

Min Wenshui saw that he was very confused, and he was also interested, and took another pot of tea for him to taste. After Zhang Dai tasted it carefully, he found that this tea had a strong aroma and a strong taste, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is Luo Jie tea, and it is spring tea, and it is autumn tea just now." ”

After drinking several kinds of tea in a row, Zhang Dai answered all of them, and Min Wenshui couldn't help but sigh: "I am seventy years old this year, and I have been proficient in tea affairs for more than 50 years, and I have never seen a person as proficient in appreciating tea as you." ”

Since then, Zhang Dai has also become a guest of honor at the Min Wenshui Tea House, and their relationship has also become a good story between Shilin.
