Live the leisurely life of the mountain village

Chapter 463 Matcha is ours!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Qiu was also excited by the people in the live broadcast room.

"Come on, come on, remember that notebook well. I'll tell you about the matcha."

"The practice of matcha is to collect tender tea leaves in spring, steam them, and make them into tea cakes (that is, tuancha) for storage. When it is time to eat, put the tea cakes on the fire to bake and dry, and then grind them with natural stone mills. powder, pour it into a tea bowl and pour it into boiling water, use a tea whisk to fully stir the tea in the bowl to make it froth, and then drink it.”

"Since ancient times, literati and inkmen have left a large number of poems praising matcha. "The blue clouds guide the wind and blow continuously, and the white flowers float and lighten the bowl of noodles" is the praise of matcha by Lu Tong, a poet of the Tang Dynasty."

"Then what about the matcha in country R?"

Huayuelou was fascinated by it without knowing it.

"This matcha, in fact, if it can be traced back at the earliest, it started when Shennong tasted Baicao. About 2700 BC, Shennong chewed the tea leaves and swallowed them into his stomach, taking the first step of human beings drinking tea. , Known as "the originator of matcha. "

"During the Jin Dynasty, people invented steamed green loose tea (milled tea), and also reviewed and approved the method of evaluating the color and aroma of tea, and it became an indispensable daily drink for people. "The Book of Tea" records: "...beginning with steaming , into Tan, not only its familiarity, but also out of Tan.The cauldron is poured into the retort, and it is made of grain, wood and branch Sanya, and the steamed bamboo shoots and leaves are scattered, so that the paste will flow. "

"In the Song Dynasty, it developed into a tea banquet. Cai Xiang, the most famous tea expert at that time and a great writer, commented on the method of drinking matcha tea in "Tea Records": smash the lump tea into small pieces, then grind it into fine powder, and sieve it out. For tea powder, take two qian powder and put it into a hot teacup, pour boiling water into it, and taste the color, aroma, and taste of the soup, and the best one is the best."

"After arriving here, the matcha tea is basically fully formed."

Zhuang Qiu explained.

"Since the Ming Dynasty, matcha has been no longer popular, but tea leaves have been used instead, brewed and drunk, and tea dregs have been discarded. Ru Dunhe of the Qing Dynasty said in "Yue Yan Shi" that the ancient tea must have some, and its 硙 tea (matcha) In order to make tea, one or two good fruit snacks must be selected, which are called snacks, and called tea."

"The Ming Dynasty here is also a watershed. The matcha of a certain day was actually brought back in the Tang Dynasty with the Tang envoys to learn the matcha of our Tang Dynasty, but they only learned a little bit of superficiality, and in fact they learned four different things. "

"Later, our tea was gradually improving and evolving, looking for more cooking methods to get rid of the bitter and sour taste in the tea. But in the Ming Dynasty, due to changes in our foreign policy, the later tea The method of improving and brewing tea soup has not been passed down there in a certain day, and its influence among the people is not as good as that of matcha."

"Oh, I see, so this matcha can actually be said to be a semi-finished product that has not been fully developed during the formation of tea culture. On the basis of the semi-finished product, things are constantly added and refined, and finally it becomes the current matcha."

"Isn't that still our thing, the origin is here in our place, how can some people say that it is from a certain day when they blow matcha now?"

"Don't you know this later! After you go out, hit them in the face with the things recorded in your little book! Slap them in the face! Go out and shout confidently, this matcha is his or ours!"

"Master Zhuang, let me tell you something, your event seems to be recommended by the official news."

"Oh, isn't it just an advertisement? We know this, and this is the official condition."

"No... I'll go. I thought I was wrong just now. It was really reported by our country's official media. Master Zhuang is positive!"

"Yeah, I'm praising Lord Zhuang. It's commendable to use my influence to promote our history and culture. I hope the live broadcasting industry can follow Lord Zhuang."

"Master Zhuang has set an industry benchmark, ahaha."

"But this one is really good, and it has been commented by the official media newspapers."

"I heard that it seems that we have been discussing this thing here, and didn't this event be promoted last night? So in fact, there is still a lot of attention. Afterwards, people talked about Zhuang Ye's live broadcast content on various platforms. More and more people discussed it, so it was finally discovered by the officials.”

"Master Zhuang has won the hearts of the people by being serious."

……

Zhuang Qiu waved his hand and said.

"I can use my strength to do something useful, and I am already very satisfied."

Huayuelou said with a smile.

"Why do I feel like I'm vulgar? I suddenly feel that I shouldn't want the [-]% dividend."

The water friends in the live broadcast room were discussing this matter in a serious manner, but when Huayuelou suddenly interrupted it, everyone complained one after another.

"Boss Hua, you really ruined the atmosphere. The pride I felt spontaneously just now was amused by your words."

"Boss Hua! You can do it, really, you have an epiphany! Your thoughts and spirit have been qualitatively improved on this tea mountain."

"What are you waiting for! Master Zhuang, take advantage of the fact that Boss Hua is out of his mind now! Grab the opportunity! Save a little bit!"

"Yes, yes, yes! How exciting it is to take something from Hua Laoda's mouth, and snatch food from the tiger's mouth!"

"Boss Hua, how about this, if you feel vulgar and don't want it anymore, please give it to me? Throw me with money! Humiliate me as much as you want!"

"Pfft! The positive energy just now was suddenly taken away by you guys."

"Hahahaha, isn't this a joke! Let's get down to business! We must guard the treasures left by our ancestors!"

……

Zhuang Qiu got up and patted his buttocks and said.

"Okay, Teacher Zhuang's class will end here first, let's go up quickly."

After finishing speaking, he and Huayuelou continued to walk deep.

Before he walked a few steps, he heard a clear and loud singing voice.

"In March, partridges roam the mountains; in April, rivers flow everywhere.

The tea-picking girl walks on the tea mountain, and the tea song flies to the head of Baiyun.

The hare in the grass ran across the slope, the tree-headed thrush left its nest,
The carp in the heart of the river jumps out of the water and wants to listen to the sisters' tea-picking song.

The tea-picking sisters go to the tea mountain, a layer of white clouds and a layer of sky,

The tea trees in the mountain are planted by hand, and the garden is full of tea in exchange for hard work. "

Listening to this melodious folk song, Zhuang Qiu couldn't help slowing down his steps.

"You are really blessed to catch up with the serious folk songs."

Zhuang Qiu turned around and said to the people in the live broadcast room.

At this time, Huayuelou also stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck like a rooster, wanting to see who sang this folk song.
