Chapter 422 Dragon Bud

Seeing Ling Zikai's admiring expression, Mr. Tong showed a trace of complacency in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Ling, I wonder if you can taste the origin of this tea?"

Ling Zikai understood that the other party came to study his own knowledge.

In a broad sense, tea can be divided into several categories such as green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, dark tea, and scented tea.However, each type of tea has different tea names because of its different origins and production techniques.

As far as green tea is concerned, it includes West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, Huangshan Maojian, Lu'an Guapian, Lushan Yunwu Tea, Junshan Yinzhen, Xinyang Maojian, Anxi Tieguanyin and other famous teas; Professionals, even those who like to drink tea, make him a cup of unknown tea and ask him to tell the origin of the tea after tasting, I am afraid that few people can answer it.What's more, for Ling Zikai, drinking tea is all about quenching his thirst, and he has no taste for tea at all.

Ling Zikai glanced at Old Master Tong, and from the smiling face, he couldn't see that there was any intentional attempt to make things difficult for him. He probably wanted to use this to suppress his spirit, and secretly felt a little funny in his heart.

If it was in the past, I would definitely be stumped.But Mr. Tong would never have expected that he not only drank the tea he brewed, but also hid a small pot in Yunhai Forest Farm.

Isn't it that my father made it after picking it from some unknown wild tree on the mountain.

Because this kind of wild tea contains a trace of vitality of life elements, I have a deep impression on myself, and I still want to develop this kind of wild tea as the company's future industry!
Ling Zikai deliberately held the teacup, drank the tea in the cup, then frowned, sighed and said, "Old man, your question really stumps me. For me, the main thing to drink tea is The purpose is to quench your thirst, how can you know how to appreciate it! Even if you brew it with the best Dahongpao, I can’t tell you that you are ugly. Your tea tastes really fragrant, and it also has a refreshing feeling. Something similar to the kind of mints you eat.”

Hearing that Ling Zikai compared the tea he made with mint candies, Mr. Tong was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little dumbfounded. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly heard Ling Zikai say again: "However, this tea seems to be the same as before. I drank it once!"

"You've had this kind of tea before!" Mr. Tong couldn't believe it, and blurted out, "Are you sure it's exactly the same as the tea you're drinking now? It's impossible!"

Ling Zikai pretended to be thinking hard, and after a long time, he slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, I remembered! When the forest farm was relocated last time, I dug out a small jar from the cabinet. Look at it. After putting some tea leaves in it, brewing a cup, it tastes like this!"

"You also have this kind of tea in your tree farm? Do you know where it came from?" Mr. Tong asked.

"I heard that my father picked it from the mountain, and I don't know what kind of tree he used as tea leaves!" Ling Zikai said disapprovingly.

"Are there any more tea leaves?" Mr. Tong's tone was a little eager.

Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "At that time, I saw that the tea leaves were a bit damp, and they would definitely get moldy if I put them down, so I threw them all away!"

"Oh, what a pity, what a pity!" Mr. Tong said with a bit of heartbreak: "Brother Ling, you are recklessly throwing everything away!"

Ling Zikai said disapprovingly: "Old man, isn't it just some wild tea, just throw it away! At worst, go to the mountain to pick some and come back. It won't make you so sad!"

"Hey, how can I tell you!" Mr. Tong said with a bit of resentment: "Brother Ling, you don't want to pick that tea again in your life."

"Why?" Ling Zikai asked puzzled.

Mr. Tong sighed, and said, "brother Ling, I don't even know how to explain it to you! The tea you drank just now is not the same as the green tea or black tea we usually drink! Strictly speaking, it cannot be called tea because it is not picked from the tree?"

"Old man, what you said confuses me! If the leaves were not picked from the tree, wouldn't they be dug out of the soil?"

"Although it wasn't dug out from the soil, it's not much different!"

This time Ling Zikai didn't ask any more questions, but quietly looked at Mr. Tong, waiting for his explanation.

"From Brother Ling's accent, you should be from the south, right?"

Ling Zikai nodded.

"Since you are from the south, you must be familiar with bamboo shoots! They are the tender shoots of bamboo that grow from the soil. They are delicious and a treasure in dishes. After the bamboo shoots break through the soil, they become bamboos, although they are the same plant. , but they are not the same in essence. Bamboo shoots are bamboo shoots, and bamboo is bamboo. If bamboo shoots can be eaten, can bamboo also be eaten?

In other words, the tea I brewed was also taken from the part of the mountain where an unknown plant grows underground.Speaking of it, it should be regarded as some thorn buds growing from the rhizome of that plant.These thorn buds look exactly like the buds on the tea tree.People of the older generation call it "Dragon Bud".

This kind of dragon bud is very rare, even those mountain visitors who live in the mountains all the year round, rarely encounter it once in a lifetime, and they are luckier than the chance to pick a century-old mountain ginseng.

To take an old saying, it is something that can be met but not sought.

The reason why it is said to be rare is that the growth of the dragon buds is very slow. It is said that only one thorn bud grows a year, and only after 99 thorn buds grow, will it break through the ground.After breaking the ground, it is like a flash in the pan. In a few months, after blooming and bearing fruit, it will wither and die.

It is precisely because its growth cycle is almost all completed underground, and it can only be found in the few months after the ground is broken. Do you think that such a chance is rare but unattainable!
Normally, even if you walk past the place where it grows, you won't know that there will be a dragon bud growing in the soil under your feet.

Of course, there is another way to find Longya, which is to wait for the rabbit.That is to say, in the place where the dragon bud was found last time, there will definitely be a dragon bud growing underground. As long as you stay there, you will be able to find it after it breaks through the ground.

But it takes decades or even hundreds of years for a dragon bud to break through the ground. Who can keep up with this long process?Besides, how long can a person live in this lifetime? "

When Mr. Tong said this, he let out a long sigh!
