Chapter 35: Pink Tea
The woman in costume bowed slightly, and said: "Zunjia went to the general altar of our sect for several days to make trouble, killing and injuring more than a dozen people, although those deacons are people who tend to be inflammatory, but they don't deserve to die, Zunjia is from the Tianshan faction, and it can be regarded as a famous and decent family, and the means are too vicious." Li Chongjun said: "Your Excellency asked me to come, but Xingshi asked for guilt?" The woman said: "If you say that Xingshi asks for guilt, you don't dare to do it, fortunately, Your Excellency did not hurt my Miao people, otherwise you ......" Li Chongjun said: "Otherwise, what?" The woman's eyes were sharp: "Otherwise, today it is bound to break the net with Zun Jiayu!" The atmosphere in the carriage was immediately killed.
At this moment, the silver kettle was steaming, and Lan Wutong smiled: "The water is boiling! She used a wooden spoon to scoop out the tea leaves from the silver cylinder, put them into three jade cups, and then poured the hot water in the silver pot into the jade cups, and in an instant a pleasant fragrance spread.
Those tea leaves were originally shrunk into a ball, soaked in hot water, and gradually stretched out after a while, like a peacock opening a screen. Lan Wutong handed the tea to Li Chongjun with both hands, he knew that the Miao people were very good at using poison, and he didn't want to take it, Lan Wutong immediately relieved him, so he put down the tea, took out a small silver medal from the sandalwood box on the side of the silver cylinder, and put it into the jade cup, there was a small hook at the end of the silver medal, just on the edge of the jade cup, half of the silver medal was in the tea and half was exposed, and the woman in the costume was dissatisfied: "Since people suspect that we are poisoning, just don't drink it, why are you so diligent." Lan Wutong smiled: "Miss doesn't know, this Han people have a deep misunderstanding of us, and they also said that we will poison us at every turn, and it is good to put a silver medal in to make people feel at ease, if you don't let people taste this tea, the Han people still think that our Miao Jiang is a wild place, and we can't take out good things for hospitality." Li Chongjun saw that the silver medal did not change color, and if he didn't drink it, it would be a villain's heart, which would be a joke. Lan Wutong served tea with both hands again, and Li Chongjun took it and drank it all, but he felt that the tea fragrance was light at first, but after drinking, it was extremely mellow and had a long aftertaste. He was born in a royal family and has always drunk good tea since he was a child, but he has never tasted like this. I couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, rare in the world!" The woman in costume saw him praise, and her face softened. Lan Wutong said happily: "This kind of tea is difficult to find in the Central Plains, do you know how hard this tea is?" Although Li Chongjun loves to drink tea, he doesn't know where the tea comes from, and said strangely: "Isn't this tea picked from the tea tree? Mr. is extraordinary, must be a noble birth, where do you want to get the hardships of tea pickers, there are many tea trees in the world, tea varieties are also very many, but this kind of tea is the only one in the world, there is a place called Snake Valley in our Miao Jiang, there are many poisonous snakes in it, all of them are extremely poisonous, the lowest place of this snake valley somehow grows a tea tree, the poisonous saliva flowing out of the snake's mouth gathers along the valley to the roots, the snake is also piled up under the tree, the tea tree likes the shade and is most afraid of yang dryness, it is born in the low valley, the sun and the moon are not illuminated, there is a pond nearby, the water surface reflects the sunlight and moonlight on the tea treeγ The tea tree has the perennial nourishment of the poisonous saliva snake, and absorbs the essence of the day and the moon, it is not an ordinary product for a long time, and the tea picker picks the tea when he ** the body will smear the snake medicine all over the body, if there is a place that can not be smeared, it will be bitten by ten thousand snakes. came to the Snake Valley in such a thrilling way, and could only pick a few taels of tea leaves each time. If you pick too much, the tea tree will wither. Li Chongjun sighed: "I only know that drinking tea is sweet, but I don't know that picking tea is so dangerous." I can't bear to drink it anymore. Lan Wutong said: "If the son doesn't drink, won't he waste the hard work of the tea pickers, and also live up to the good intentions of my young lady." Please also ask the gentleman to drink another glass. With that, he poured tea with a silver kettle. Li Chongjun couldn't bear to drink it all this time, sipped it in his mouth and tasted it slowly, and praised: "This tea has no worldly atmosphere, but it is like a heavenly thing." Lan Wutong covered his mouth and chuckled: "Childe only knows that it is difficult to pick tea, but he doesn't know that it is extremely difficult to stir-fry, no matter how good the tea in the Central Plains is, in the eyes of our Miao family's children, it is also a vulgar thing that is only used for cattle and horses." No matter how the tea in the Central Plains is cooked, our Miao family children also find it difficult to hide the four fishy smells. Li Chongjunqi said: "Where are the four fishy smells?" Lan Wutong said: "These four fishy smells are earthy smell, iron fishy smell, smoke smell and human fishy smell." β
"What do you understand? I don't understand, I still hope that the girl will advise. β
"If you fry it with ceramic utensils, the tea leaves will have an earthy smell, and if you use copper and iron utensils, the tea will have an iron smell, and this fishy smell will go deep into it when you fry it, and you can never get rid of it. β
"Then how is this peacock screen fried? Is there another magic way?"
"Hehe, there's no magic trick to talk about, it's just that the utensils are hard to find. β
"Oh, let's hear it. β
"It is fried with jade ding, and the older the ancient jade tripod, the more extraordinary the tea is. β
"Ah!" Li Chongjun gasped, this ancient jade tripod is priceless, even the royal nobles of Chang'an, the jade tripod is also treasured in the secret room, and it is easy not to show people, this blue sycamore actually uses the jade tripod to fry tea, if the jade collectors in Chang'an hear it, they will definitely scold the tyrannical things, "What is the explanation of the smell of smoke? Isn't it fried with fireworks?"
Lan Wutong said: "Of course not, no matter what kind of firewood is used, there will always be smoke." The Central Plains group of scholars boasted of their elegance, nonsense about what walnut wood to use to fry tea leaves and even more outrageous, actually said that it was necessary to use plane wood, it was really infuriating! This plane wood is only suitable for making a piano, where can it be used to fry tea?" β
"As for the smell of this person, the little woman doesn't know whether to talk about it or not?" Lan Wutong covered his mouth and chuckled lightly after speaking, and his eyes flowed to peek at Li Chongjun. The woman in costume was smiling, too.
Li Chongjunqi said: "What should I not talk about this, it doesn't hurt to say it?"
Lan Wutong said: "Since Mr. is not to blame, then I will talk about it, but this person's fishy smell refers to the body odor on the person." All men have filthy gas, this tea must not pass through the hands of men, not only the tea can not pass through the hands of men, but also the jade tripod of this fried tea cannot pass through the hands of men, well, do not say that men are married women can not be contacted, only virgin women can be contacted, otherwise the fishy smell of this person will be mixed with the fragrance of tea. β
"Ah!" Li Chongjun said in surprise, "and such a particular thing, it is absolutely inappropriate to be here, not only is it such a good tea tainted by the smell of fish, but it also abruptly beauties the beauty." So I say goodbye under it. Then he got up.
Lan Wutong was in a hurry: "Don't go, Childe, Childe is as outstanding as a celestial, and Childe cannot be included in these words, not to mention that this peacock is prepared for Childe." Wouldn't the childe want to leave on a par with the worldly thing? Moreover, the Miao family's guest rule is that distinguished guests must drink three teas, so we can not lose our etiquette. "Hurriedly poured tea.
Li Chongjun slowly finished the tea. Said: "Such a good tea treat, but Your Excellency asked me to come just to drink tea, right?" The woman in costume said: "This appointment is for a big event." Li Chongjun said: "You might as well say it clearly." β
The woman said: "Zunjia is from a famous and decent family, but why did he come to my sect to make trouble? β
Li Chongjun said: "Since it has nothing to do with it, why did the White Snake and Ghost Sword of your sect kidnap my junior sister?"
The woman said: "I heard Lan Wutong talk about this a few days ago, and I was also very puzzled, thinking that the White Snake Ghost Sword was doing its own thing. It has nothing to do with our religion. The two of them left the main altar for half a year and never came back, and your junior sister was not watching, so you don't have to look for it again. However, after all, they are the protectors of the Immortal Crane Sect, and they have actually hijacked the high feet of the Tianshan Sect, so naturally we can't stay out of it. I am willing to help you secretly help you save your junior sister. What do you think?"
Li Chongjun said in his heart that what the sect members said before they died that day was not bad, and there was really a disagreement between these great Dharma protectors, and this Miao person actually secretly engaged in the same door and Yan Wall. At the moment, he said: "The girl is gracious and grateful, but I don't know how to repay it?"
The woman smiled and said: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, I will help you this time, but I am looking forward to relying on each other with you, I have an extremely difficult matter, and I hope that Childe will help me." β
Li Chongjun secretly thought that these people were difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and their thoughts were very different from those of the Central Plains martial artists, so he really didn't know what they would propose? He said in a deep voice: "If you can rescue my senior sister Zilan, Your Excellency will not dare to give up if you have a life." β
The woman was originally uneasy when she saw his face fluctuate, but when she saw him say this, she immediately showed joy and said happily: "In this way, you agreed." I would like to ask you to help me find someone. β
Li Chongjun said: "The Immortal Crane Sect has a lot of eyeliner, who still needs me to help?"
The woman said: "This person has a great relationship with your Tianshan faction, the last place where he appeared twenty years ago was in the Qiangui area, he was caught by Miao Jiang's poisonous Gu, and then he disappeared, we later found the person who gave the Gu, that person was hired by the Tianshan faction to send Gu, and I don't know anything else, so we speculate that if this person is still alive, my whereabouts are probably only known by the people of the Tianshan faction." β
Li Chongjun said: "Then why don't you go to Tianshan Mountain and ask the master directly?"
The woman sighed and said, "Although that person has a deep relationship with the Tianshan Sect, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the same family, but he is the mortal enemy of the Tianshan Sect. β
