Chapter 232 The Way of Tea

[Continue to ask for tickets, and today will add more repayments]

Wu Zhao stood in front of Li Yuanxing, with his back to Li Yuanxing.

The last thing lifted up was a simple platform, much like a miniature version of the high platform used for sacrifices.There is a dark green cushion on it, and then a table that is seven feet long and three feet wide.

A copper incense burner is placed in the upper left corner of the table, and then there are several bamboo tubes in the upper right corner. No one knows the tools in the bamboo tubes.

Wu Zhao knows tea, and it's not superficial, but she can't guarantee that she can do the best, so Li Lanshan's opinion, understanding, plus Wu Zhao's own, Wu Zhao believes that today will definitely shock the world.

Tie the skirt and tie the placket.All gold cords were used.

Two first-class maids, Yingsun and Changyue, knelt and sat on either side of Wu Zhao.

Not to mention that everyone in the hall was stunned, even the seven girls in the back hall left their seats, and watched what happened in the front hall near the hole in the partition wall.

A copper basin was delivered to Wu Zhao, and Wu Zhao washed his hands.

Then Yu points to the first box on the long table, Changyue gets up to get the wooden box, while Yingsun looks after the copper pots on the two stoves.

Wu Zhao sat quietly, waiting for the water to boil.

Li Yuanxing also calmed down and sat in his chair behind Wu Zhao. What he wanted to promote was the Tao.

Datang drink tea at this time, is to grind the tea into powder, add various seasonings, such as ginger, green onion, salt, and even mutton oil.It can't be said that there is nothing wrong with drinking like this, but Li Yuanxing thinks that drinking like this is like a barbarian on the grassland.Confucianism also talks about tea etiquette when drinking tea, and there are many rules.

But all of this is not enough to spread to the world.

A copper pot whistle sounded, indicating that the water was boiling. Wu Zhao opened his eyes, and Yingsun lifted the pot to the table.The copper pot was extremely small, but Wu Zhao was afraid that it would be too heavy for Wu Zhao to lift. Just as Wu Zhao reached out to pat the handle of the pot, a loud shout came from outside the living room door of the conference: "Go away!"

I!

There were a few people in Datang who dared to call themselves Zhen, so Li Yuanxing got up quickly.

I saw Li Yuan rushing in with big strides: "Wu Lang, you didn't invite Father Emperor for something interesting, you are guilty!"

Convicted, guilty ass!Li Yuanxing walked forward to meet him, and asked Wu Zhao in a low voice, "What gift did you give?"

Before Wu Zhao had time to answer, Li Yuan said first: "You two don't collude, I know everything. Next time there is such an interesting thing, without my invitation, I will ask the imperial army to destroy your place!" Li Yuan With a very high tone, he greeted Li Yuanxing with a big smile, and patted Li Yuanxing on the shoulder: "In the New Year, gifts should be better!"

There were hundreds more shrimps in the living room of the conference, and they all bowed their waists to welcome Li Yuan's arrival.

It wasn't until Li Yuan sat on the chair where Li Yuanxing was originally sitting that there was a neat voice in the living room: "The Supreme Emperor Wan'an!"

"Free gift!"

Sitting down again, Li Yuanxing took a deep breath and sat upright.

Li Yuan came to Qinwangzhuang because he was happy because he received a gift that made him ecstatic and made Li Er's eyes turn green with envy.So Li Yuan didn't even need a car, and only brought a hundred knights and flying horses to Qinwangzhuang.

When Li Yuanxing asked that he was having a banquet, he refused to let him know, and just barged in like this.

Li Yuan was happy and would not disturb Li Yuanxing, so he took a deep breath and sat upright.

Wu Zhao tested the temperature of the copper pot with his hand, pointed at the second wooden box on the third table, and said at the same time, "The water temperature is already low, not suitable for the kind of tea just now."

While talking, Wu Zhao asked Yingsun to quickly put the original tea tray on the table aside, and then replaced it with four straight glass cups.

After opening the wooden box, Wu Zhao turned his head and nodded to Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing stood up: "This tea is called West Lake Longjing. It comes from beside the West Lake in Hangzhou. This tea has the 'four uniqueness': green color, rich fragrance, sweet taste, and beautiful shape. Bright green before Ming Dynasty is the best of the best. There are poems praising: He Xizixiao in the wind outside the courtyard, Longjing Nuerhong before the Ming Dynasty. There are five most suitable production areas by the West Lake, namely: lion, dragon, cloud, tiger and plum five places!"

With a few words from Li Yuanxing, the head of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Tea Chamber of Commerce almost had a heart attack.

He knew that West Lake was picturesque, but he didn't know that the five places Li Yuanxing mentioned referred to the five types. The lion might be the lion peak, and the tiger might be the tiger running spring.I really can't think of the other three places.

Wu Zhao got up, picked out a little with a teaspoon and put it into the cups, all five cups were filled with tea leaves.

Twenty maids came forward from behind, each with a tray in their hands, Yingsun put a little tea from the box in each small plate, one of the twenty maids came to Li Yuan, and the other to Cui Dunli.The remaining 18 people took the trays to various tea merchants.

This is a good tea that Li Yuanxing spent a lot of money to buy from modern times, and the natural appearance is first-class.

Chinese tea culture sprouted in the Tang Dynasty, developed greatly in the Zong Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming Dynasty, but reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty.Li Yuanxing didn't like Qing, and neither did Wu Zhao.Therefore, Wu Zhao used the method of combining the tea art of the Ming Dynasty with the modern one.

"Feng San nods!" Wu Zhao whispered, but her delicate voice was full of nobility.

The copper pot in his hand was continuously raised high, and the water was poured into the cup three times.Green tea can play much less than Tieguanyin, black tea, Pu'er and the like.But Wu Zhao did an excellent job.

The green tea juice filled the entire glass, and the pieces of tea leaves were suspended in the glass.

In terms of shape, color, and the faint tea fragrance, it is incomparable!

Many people couldn't help leaving their seats and stood up, even Li Yuan was no exception, what a beautiful tea!

Li Yuanxing put a cup in front of Li Yuan with his own hands: "Father, please taste it first!"

Li Yuan was born as a general, but he was a generation of nobles, not a barbarian as the Seventh Family said. He understands tea, but he doesn't understand what Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao are doing now.

But this tea should only be found in the sky.

Li Yuanxing signaled the maid to give out the other four cups, one cup should naturally be placed in front of Cui Shuli, a third rank official is naturally entitled to enjoy it exclusively.Li Yuanxing said at the same time: "This tea is divided into five types according to the place of origin, and five grades and eighteen categories according to the grade. I believe that you will give this tea a better and more definite grade."

The tea merchants were talking hard there, their eyes fixed on the cup.

"For this cup, I think the lion is the best, and the lotus heart is the best. They were picked before Ming Dynasty. But Princess Mingyue thinks that the flag spear is the top grade, so she chose the flag spear."

While Li Yuanxing was speaking, someone brought up the stove, and there was a big copper pot on it.

"This tea is not suitable for boiling water. Later, you can recommend a few people who are fine tea, and appreciate it with me!"

Li Yuan squinted his eyes. After enjoying the bitterness and fragrance of tea, there was a sweetness in his mouth. This taste is really good.Cui Dunli praised: "It's really the way to come to the end of suffering! The way of tea!" Cui Shuli of Confucianism thinks that this tea, this way, is indeed as King Qin said, tea can cultivate one's body and calm one's mind!

In the back hall, Seventh Girl couldn't help thinking of having a cup of tea with Li Yuanxing, and she was even more uneasy when she heard Cui Shuli's comments.

However, there are all merchants outside, and it is impossible to go out in their identities.

At this time, Li Yuanxing turned around and held a wooden box with his hand.

"Girl, here is a gorgeous one." Li Yuanxing was also a little excited.

The three cups of tea for the tea merchants were divided into dozens of small cups, and those who were eligible to taste were not at the level of the leader, but also at the level of the big shopkeeper and the old tea master.

"Dahongpao, the top grade of Wuyi Mountain." Li Yuanxing chose a kind of tea.

Wu Zhao pursed her lips, "No, I'll get an oolong first!"

Li Yuanxing was trapped, and only Wu Zhao dared to talk back in Qin Wangzhuang. Li Yuanxing lowered his voice: "Girl, Dongting Oolong is produced overseas. Even if you want this tea, you can't have it in a few years!"

Wu Zhao's voice was not small: "Dahongpao grows on the cliff, and manpower cannot reach it. To pick it is to train monkeys to pick it. Do you want such a dangerous tea? You will definitely not let the tea farmers die for drinking tea!"

When Wu Zhao topped Li Yuanxing, the living room was already quiet, and everyone could hear Wu Zhao's voice clearly.

Mount Wuyi is in what is now Fujian Province.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were already five prefectures there. The Tea Chamber of Commerce was named Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the ancient times. Internally, it was divided into two sub-chambers of East Vietnam and South Vietnam according to the region.It can be said that they are smaller than the Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce in terms of scale, and they don't even have their storefronts in the ring road of the Chamber of Commerce Street.

After hearing Wu Zhao's words, more than a dozen people, old and young, rushed out with a whimper, all knelt down.

The head of the meeting said loudly: "Xiaomin is willing to fight for the lives of the whole family, and also to be the Holy One, the Supreme Emperor, His Royal Highness Qin Wang, who picks this big red robe, and will die!"

Words are true!

Li Yuanxing didn't doubt his words, these people would really go all out.Whether it's as a tribute to the palace, or to achieve his reputation as the Yuecha Chamber of Commerce, it is worth fighting hard.

"That's all!" Li Yuanxing waved his hand and said to Wu Zhao, "Choose Anxi Qingwu!"

"Okay!" Wu Zhao nodded and pointed to the sixth wooden box on the second table.This Qingwu is actually Tieguanyin, an ancient green tea transformed into oolong tea, a semi-fermented tea.It's just that Li Yuanxing will never mention the word Guanyin, because it is the name of Buddhism. When Li Yuanxing wants to promote Taoism, he will never use the word Tieguanyin.

If it is gorgeous, Kung Fu Tea is gorgeous enough.

The kung fu tea utensils used by Wu Zhao are also luxurious enough, and they choose high-quality purple clay. At this time, there are no purple clay teapots in the Tang Dynasty.Li Yuanxing's set is considered a treasure even in modern times.

One teapot, one tea cup, six teacups, six lidded ou, six tea trays, six tea mats, one tea wash, one sand pot, one feather fan, one copper stove, and one fire chopsticks.

The stove uses bamboo charcoal fire.

In fact, it is natural to boil water faster in a large furnace, but since it wants to be gorgeous and tasteful, the large coal furnace naturally loses its status.

The water is mountain spring water. Using a small stove and small pot, while waiting for the water to boil, is also a process of calming the mind, and it is also the Tao!It is also a very important link in the tea ceremony. (To be continued.)
