At this time, Tang Guoguo didn't know the careful thinking of the boy behind him, and the attention of the whole person was completely attracted by the sencha teacher in front of him.

The teacher wore a multi-ring bun on both sides of his head, and was dressed in a honey-colored treasure flower round-necked robe, with a belt and a long knife around his waist, just like a maid in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty.

When she saw that everyone was looking at her, she respectfully performed a Tang Dynasty fork hand salute:

"Welcome to Qinglin Tea House, this Tang Dynasty sencha experience class, I will demonstrate it to you. If there are any deficiencies during this period, please correct them. ”

After saying this, she knelt down in front of the tea table in front of several students and began the introduction before the presentation:

"Legend has it that tea was discovered when Shennong tasted herbs. During the Han and Han dynasties, tea had spread from Bashu to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and by the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had been widely cultivated in the south. However, during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the tea that was popular in the south was not very suitable for the taste of the northerners who liked to drink cheese. It was not until Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty wrote the book "The Book of Tea" based on the experience of making tea and drinking tea in the past dynasties, that tea began to become a science. With the collection of tea tax after the Tang Dynasty and the rise of tea and horse trade, tea culture was also born from the Tang Dynasty. ”

Tang Guoguo, who was sitting at the front, listened the most carefully, and he didn't even notice the news he received on WeChat.

Cheng Bo hesitated for a long time, but still sent the photo to Tang Guoguo.

And after learning that she was also going to participate in the ancient architecture competition, but she didn't have any confidence at all, she also sent her ancient building mapping notes.

But he waited stupidly for a long time, and didn't see the other party's reply, so he put away his mobile phone again and listened carefully to the teacher's lecture.

"The tea drinking fashion of the Song people originated in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, tea was an indispensable drink in daily life, from the emperor and the general to the common people. Not only did tea ceremonies and tea customs such as treating guests with tea and using tea as a medium become popular in the Song Dynasty, but the custom of fighting tea and dividing tea also began to prevail in the Song Dynasty. Drinking tea, for the Song people, can be regarded as entertainment and spiritual enjoyment. Therefore, there is also a saying in China that 'tea flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty'. Today, however, we will focus on the tea culture of the Tang Dynasty. ”

After the teacher finished speaking, he clapped his hands on the side of his ear again.

Subsequently.

Two groups of young girls dressed in Tang skirts entered through the side door with trays in their hands, and placed cakes and tea sets of different shapes on the trays on the students' tea tables in turn.

"And the tea of the Tang Dynasty is not the loose tea that we are now common. Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who changed the cake tea to fried green, the tea of the Tang Dynasty needed to be picked during the Qingming Dynasty, and then steamed for a short period of time, and then pounded with a pestle, loaded into a mold and pressed into a cake. ”

As the teacher lifted a porcelain plate, the students began to look at the cakes and tea in the porcelain plate.

This cake is round and flat, and it looks no different from modern Pu'er tea cakes.

"In the Tang Dynasty, tea drinking began to be popularized among the people, and the era of tea drinking was also opened. But the Tang people's tea drinking method is mainly sencha, you can follow me step by step. ”

After she showed the cakes and tea, she ordered someone to light the charcoal stove next to the students:

"There are four steps to sencha. First, Yan tea, that is, the process of processing cake tea into fine granules. ”

After she finished speaking, she picked up the cake and tea with a green bamboo clip and placed it on the charcoal stove to roast it, and the other students followed suit.

"Yan tea is divided into three processes: burning, grinding, and Luo."

Taking advantage of this interval, the teacher looked up at the students again and continued to introduce the precautions of the process:

"What we are doing now is the boiling tea in the hot tea step, the purpose of this step is to dry the water in the cake tea and use fire to force out the aroma of the tea. It should be noted that when baking cakes and tea, it should not be baked in a ventilated place or with an ember fire; Charcoal is the best fuel, but firewood can also be used; And it has to be constantly turned during this time. When the cake and tea are roasted out like a toad's back, you should be five inches away from the heat and continue to bake until the curled cake and tea gradually loosen, and then repeat the steps. ”

The students patiently scorched the cake and tea, but the slow fire was so slow that they couldn't hold on with one hand, so they switched to the other.

Tang Guoguo stared intently at the cake tea, refusing to let go of the slightest change in the cake tea.

It wasn't until the slightest hint of tea fragrance was forced out that I heard the teacher say leisurely: "Next, the most critical step is to put the fragrant cake and tea in the paper bag at hand while hot, so that it does not leak its fragrance." ”

Watching the teacher put the cake and tea in the paper bag, Tang Guoguo held the paper bag in one hand and the cake and tea in the other, and followed suit.

But the hand holding the bamboo clip was already sore, and when she turned her wrist, the bamboo clip uncontrollably loosened a gap, and the cake tea took the opportunity to escape from her clutches.

"After the cake tea has cooled, the next step is to grind the tea."

The teacher was wholeheartedly introducing the tea grinding tools, but Tang Guoguo leaned over and used a bamboo clip to pick up the fallen cakes and tea. I don't want this cake tea to be naughty, the more she clamps it, the farther away the cake tea is from herself.

Seeing that Bicha was about to run to the teacher's feet, Tang Guoguo suddenly felt that someone was patted on the back.

She looked back.

I saw that Cheng Bo was still like just now, holding half a piece of cooled cake and tea, and motioned for her to take it with a smile. This time, Tang Guoguo was not polite, smiled and took it.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong in the next tea grinding and fine sifting links, looking at the fine rice-like tea powder in the tea box, Tang Guoguo suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

At this time, the water in the pot on the stove has also boiled for the first time.

The most exciting sencha step begins.

"You can add the right amount of salt and spices to taste according to the amount of water."

Tang Guoguo didn't add anything else except salt, and after doing what the teacher said, Tang Guoguo saw a bead-like blister on the edge of her water pot, and she knew that this was the second boiling of water.

Immediately scoop out a scoop of boiling water, and stir around the pot with a tea chopstick without stopping.

Every time she stirred, she held her breath, for fear of another accident, until a water vortex appeared in the pot, and she still didn't dare to relax. She followed the teacher's instructions, threw a spoonful of tea into the center of the vortex, and continued to stir gently.

"When the tea soup is 'rushing and foaming', pour back a scoop of boiling water that was originally scooped out."

With the teacher's order, Tang Guoguo also took a scoop of boiling water.

"In the pot, there will be foam, that is, soup flowers. Now, we can divide the tea and drink. ”

Tang Guoguo scooped out three bowls of tea as required and waited to drink.

Lu Yu believes that the essence of tea soup is the foam on the soup. The thin one is called foam, the thick one is called dumpling, and the thin and light one is called flower. ”

After the teacher has finished dividing the tea, he will hold the first bowl and drink it from afar:

"This first bowl of tea soup is called Junyong. It means that the taste is eternal, that is, the best tea soup. As for a pot of fried tea, only the first three bowls are the best, and the most is no more than five bowls. Because the condiments that everyone puts in sencha are different, everyone's timelessness is also different, just like this life, the ups and downs are timeless. Let's take a taste of this bowl of timelessness and express our opinions. ”

After she finished speaking, she leaned over and smiled, "Please!" ”

"Please!"

Looking at this bowl of "timeless" with a burnt black color and light soup flowers, Tang Guoguo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, responded loudly with the other students, and drank it into his mouth.

But as soon as the tea soup was entered, everyone present except for the sencha teacher had different complexions.

Tang Guoguo hurriedly rinsed his mouth with mineral water.

A girl whispered: "I finally know why it's called tea soup, this tea really looks like soup." ”

"yes, I just put pepper!"

"But I think it's like bamboo shoot soup, it's not bad! ~”

The girls in the wing room were exchanging ideas with each other, but Cheng Bo came to the side of Tang Guoguo's tea case and asked, "Tang Guoguo, what does your tea taste like?" Don't you invite me to a bowl? ”

"You better stop drinking."

didn't listen to Tang Guoguo's refusal, Cheng Bo picked up a bowl and drank it all, and then naturally, like Tang Guoguo, drank his mineral water cleanly, and then asked with a shocked face:

"How much salt do you put in your tea?"

"There aren't a lot of them." Tang Guoguo glanced at the porcelain plate containing table salt embarrassedly, "With a shake of his hand, he put it all in." ”

"What?!" Cheng Bo almost jumped up.

"I didn't even say I would let you drink it!"

"Yes, I don't blame you." Cheng Bo scratched his head, and pushed his tea soup to Tang Guoguo, "Then you drink mine, and help me comment on it." ”

"Well, okay." Tang Guoguo was very happy.

Just as the students were exchanging tea and soup with each other, talking and laughing about their experiences, they suddenly heard a noisy sound outside the door.

One of the female voices was even more trembling with tears:

"Grandma! Don't scare me, grandma! Wake up! ”

"Call an ambulance!"

Immediately afterwards, the door of the wing room was slammed open by a tall and thin tomboy. She rushed in without hesitation, glancing at everyone present.

Gu Zhaodi's eyes were red at this time, and she didn't have time to greet Tang Guoguo, so she shouted loudly:

"Is there anyone who can do CPR!! Come out and save people!! ”

"Me! I'm from the school!! A girl in the far corner got up and ran out.
