White tea legend

Chapter 162 Taimu’s mist has a unique flavor
The sun shone into the kitchen of Jingzhao Mansion, and the White Lady was carefully preparing a white tea banquet for Pei Zhaoyin.

She selects the tenderest white tea leaves, gently washes away the dust in clean water, and spreads them out in a bamboo basket to dry. The tea leaves exude a faint fragrance in the breeze, as if foretelling the delicious feast that is about to be presented.

In the kitchen, the copper pot is steaming, and the white lady skillfully combines tea leaves with various ingredients.

Every step of her work reveals the craftsman's thoughts.

White tea steamed fish is made from fresh river fish, filled with tea leaves and spices, and steamed until the fish meat is tender and the aroma of tea overflows.

White tea cakes are made by grinding tea leaves into fine powder, mixing them with glutinous rice flour and sugar, and baking them into a sweet but not greasy snack.

The white lady shuttled through the kitchen, and every movement was as graceful as a dance.

Mrs. Pei asked the cook of Jingzhao Mansion to be her assistant.

The assistants were also infected by her concentration. Everyone completed their tasks carefully, for fear of disturbing the tranquility and harmony.

As the last dish was finished, Lady White wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the results of the table with satisfaction.

Then he gave a blessing ceremony to the cooks: "Thank you all."

The cooks returned the favor.

……

Pei Zhaoyin followed Mrs. Pei into the flower hall, secretly expecting in his heart.

In the flower hall, a woman stood at the table. She was the white lady in Mrs. Pei's words.

The sun shines through the window lattice and shines on her body, as if giving her a soft halo. Her dress is simple yet elegant. She wears a clean apron over her white and green gradient dress, making her appear dignified and friendly.

When White Snake saw Pei Zhaoyin, she smiled slightly. Her smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, gentle and bright.

She bowed lightly and said, "It is a great honor for me to have the honor of hosting the white tea banquet for Mr. Pei."

Pei Zhaoyin returned the gift, his eyes involuntarily falling on the exquisite white tea banquet on the table.

The white tea feast placed on the table is fresh in color and fragrant.

Pei Zhaoyin praised: "I heard Madam say that White Snake is not only wonderful at rejuvenating, but also has superb cooking skills. When I saw her today, she really deserves her reputation."

The white lady smiled modestly and began to introduce the dishes on the table to Pei Zhaoyin: "These are all carefully prepared by me with white tea.

For example, this white tea boiled dried shredded dish is cooked with specially selected white tea leaves and fresh dried tofu. The aroma of tea and beans blend together, making it fresh and refined.

This white tea smoked chicken is made from free-range chickens in the mountains and smoked with white tea. The tea smoke penetrates into every fiber of the chicken, making the meat more delicious and juicy. "

Pei Zhaoyin took a bite and felt that the chicken melted in his mouth. The aroma of tea and meat were perfectly blended. He couldn't help praising her: "The craftsmanship of the White Lady is really amazing. The taste of this white tea smoked chicken is something I have never experienced before." Great taste. ”

The white lady responded with a smile: "Master Pei is overly complimentary. This is just my little opinion on the ingredients. It is my honor to be liked by you."

"Stop standing around, sit down and taste it, so that you can live up to the white lady who has been busy in the kitchen for half a day."

Mrs. Pei said hello and everyone sat down.

Pei Zhaoyin and Mrs. Pei tasted it one by one. Mrs. Pei gently picked up a dry thread and put it into her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She tasted it carefully and felt the aroma of beans and tea intertwined on the tip of her tongue. She couldn't help but admire: "White Lady, your craftsmanship is really amazing. This dried silk is cooked just right. The aroma of tea is light and elegant, which is endless aftertaste."

White Snake smiled and responded: "These are some home-cooked dishes. I feel very honored to be liked by adults and madams."

After the banquet was over, Lady White smiled slightly and gestured to Xuan Feng beside her.

Xuanfeng understood and gently brought a pot of freshly brewed white tea soup. The White Snake personally picked up the teapot and poured two cups of clear and translucent tea for Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei. Pei Zhaoyin picked up the teacup, gently blew the heat away from the tea, and took a sip.

I only felt a sweet taste on my tongue, and then the faint fragrance of tea spread between my lips and teeth. I immediately felt comfortable all over my body, and the greasiness from the banquet was gone.

He couldn't help but admired: "This white tea soup is really extraordinary, with a pleasant fragrance and refreshing feeling."

White Lady smiled and said: "This white tea is collected from the top of the mountains. It is nourished by clouds and mist. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so the tea grows slowly, but it accumulates more essence of heaven and earth."

Pei Zhaoyin was very interested and asked: "Where does this tea come from? Can you tell me?"

White Snake replied: "This tea comes from the distant Taimu Mountain. The tea garden there has a saying that 'Taimu's clouds and mist have a unique taste'. Every spring, tea farmers pick the tea buds when the morning dew is still wet to preserve the original freshness of the tea buds." fragrant."

"Taimu Mountain?" Pei Zhaoyin had never heard of it, "Where is that?"

"Changxi County, Minzhong County."

That was a place Pei Zhaoyin had never been to.

"That's really far away."

Bai Cha nodded and continued tea for Pei Zhaoyin while saying: "Changxi County, Minzhong County is located in the southeast, thousands of miles away from Chang'an. The mountains and rivers are in foreign lands, the wind and moon are in the same sky, but the languages ​​​​are completely different. The sounds from the north are indistinguishable from the south, just like hearing them It is difficult to understand the meaning of the birdsong. Chang'an, the capital of the Li Dynasty, was the first in the world. His words are elegant and upright, and they are spread all over the world. However, in Changxi, it seems that the harp and harp are out of tune. You need to listen carefully to get the rhythm. "

Pei Zhaoyin was fascinated by what he heard. Not only could this white lady be able to practice medicine, but she could also work in the kitchen and speak well. She was really a woman with both talent and beauty. Looking at Chang'an City, this woman was also among the best.

She's just a little thinner, but she's beautiful, but it doesn't fit in with the Chang'an people's aesthetic of plumpness as beauty.

"Is the White Snake from Minzhong County?"

"Yes, from Changxi County, Minzhong County."

Following Pei Zhaoyin's inquiry, Bai Cha's thoughts drifted back to the coast of the East China Sea and the top of Taimu Mountain. He felt a strong sense of homesickness, but he said: "Changxi people look to the north and yearn for it. They admire the prosperity of the metropolis and love the countryside. An Tian. Although Chang'an is far away, my ambition remains unchanged. I send my feelings to China and wish to talk about our hometown together. "

Pei Zhaoyin understood: "So, White Snake came all the way from Eastern Fujian to Chang'an and Kyoto?"

The white lady nodded and said in her heart, come find your husband.

She had been looking for Lu Yu in the world for many years, but she never saw him. One day, she had a dream. In the dream, Taimu Empress and Bixia Yuanjun smiled and pointed to her:
Looking out at Shenjing from Changxi Mountain, the road is vast and vast.

It is difficult to find relatives and friends, but you still need to ask Chang'an for advice.

Who knows my intention on the ancient road? A piece of poetry expresses my deep feelings.

The dusty past is unforgettable, and the old friend is now in Chang'an.

So, Bai Cha and Xuan Feng arrived at Chang'an City.

"When Mrs. White misses her hometown and family in Chang'an City, she often comes to Jingzhao Mansion to get together with me. We are like sisters."

Mrs. Pei took Bai Cha's hand and said, "He is your brother-in-law. No one in Chang'an City dares to bully you."

Bai Cha then stood up, saluted the two of them solemnly, and said, "Sister and brother-in-law, please accept my bows from my little sister."

Pei Zhaoyin and his wife got busy and returned the gift.

Bai Cha said: "Sister and husband, Bai Cha has a heartfelt invitation..."
