Chapter 34 Drinkable Antiques
Early the next morning, He Yi came to inform Xu Yunhan that today she was free to move around for a day, because he had some things to deal with first, but he asked Xu Yunhan not to leave LC City without authorization.

Went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast, Xu Yunhan took the introduction materials of urban attractions that he had picked up at the front desk, and planned to use this spare time to take a one-day tour of Lincang, Cangyuan Cliff Painting, Wa Mountain, Wulao Mountain, Fengshan Park, Tea Culture Landscape Garden, etc.

One of the introductions that attracted Xu Yunhan the most is: There are many ethnic groups in Lincang, and there are also very rich types of food. The representative ones are Dai and Wa. ?Dai specialties include roasted chicken with lemongrass, grilled fish with lemongrass, beef sprinkle, boiled chicken with sour bamboo shoots, fried bee chrysalis, etc. Wa people are addicted to spicy food, and typical foods include chicken rotten rice, fire-roasted snake meat, and fried ants Eggs, fried woodworms, etc.Other snacks in Lincang include: pig blood rice noodles, rice noodles with thin bean flour, rice rolls, chicken with ham and papaya, dried plantains, candied walnuts, etc.

There are also a few food pictures next to the text, which make people's index fingers move just by looking at them. Xu Yunhan immediately decided to go shopping in the city and eat various delicacies and snacks along the street. Commercial tourist attractions are much more interesting.

When Xu Yunhan was a reporter, if she went on a business trip to another city she had never been to, she would definitely take a bus when she was free. As the bus shuttled through the streets of the city, she felt that this was the fastest way to experience a city. way of city life.

There are 23 ethnic minorities in Lincang. Taking advantage of the unique local cultural characteristics, LC City has vigorously developed tourism in recent years and cultivated it as a new pillar industry. It has initially developed and constructed a number of tourism products, developed refined tea, ethnic costumes, ethnic Handmade art, natural green food and many other tourist commodities.

Xu Yunhan walked on the street and saw several small shops specializing in Lincang's special products. Passers-by often saw men and women wearing their own national costumes. The whole Lincang was filled with colorful ethnic customs.

Turning into a small street, Xu Yunhan saw from a distance that a small shop that seemed to sell food was very popular, and several tables were set up outside the small shop for customers to use.

Taking a closer look, there is a wooden signboard hanging outside the small shop, thin bean flour rice noodles.Xu Yunhan looked at those who were eating happily, the gluttons were hooked out, and ordered a bowl too.Thin bean flour rice noodle is a special snack in Lincang.It is made with pea flour and rice noodles as raw materials and seasonings.Mix the pea flour into a slurry, filter it, boil it into gruel and stew it for later use. Cover the blanched rice noodles with dilute bean flour, mix with sesame seeds, ginger, oil chili pepper, pepper oil, garlic paste, green garlic leaves, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, etc. The taste of food is delicious.

Xu Yunhan, who was very satisfied after eating delicious food, paid the money, felt his stomach full and strode on a food journey in Lincang. After walking and digesting, he can eat again!Xu Yunhan thought happily, then turned around pretending to be casual, and sure enough, this person was still following her.

After she left the hotel in the morning, there was nothing unusual at first. Fortunately, she was attracted by this ethnic city. She looked around along the way, and inadvertently found that there seemed to be a man following her, and then she deliberately changed her walk a few times. direction, and found that the man was following her, he should have been sent by He Yi. In recent days, He Yi has been asking Xu Yunhan insinuatingly, if there is any information left about her grandfather Xu Qingnian, he told her before nothing...

Even if Xu Yunhan repeatedly assured that her grandfather would never mention anything about that business in front of her, but He Yi always smiled and looked at her with the expression that you don't lie to me, Xu Yunhan couldn't help it.Perhaps giving her a day of free time today is just waiting for her to show some tricks, but God knows, she really doesn't know anything about the theft of the Eastern Qing Tomb back then.

But Xu Yunhan guessed that her grandfather would have left some information in the pile of tomb robbery materials buried in the yard, but she didn't want to expose the materials left by the family generations to the world, let alone hand them over to the police, why? Yi and the others should have searched her home, but she was sure that it was absolutely impossible for these people to find the materials buried in the soil.

If that person is willing to follow, just follow, anyway, she is not going to do something illegal, she is really just wandering around, seeing a very elegantly decorated tea shop, Xu Yunhan thought of Dai who kept yelling for her to bring small travel gifts Xiaobei, this box of good-quality scented tea is a good choice.

Scented tea has been the favorite of ladies since ancient times. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: Scented tea is slightly cool in nature, sweet in taste, enters the lungs, kidneys, and meridians, and has the effects of calming the liver, moistening the lungs and beautifying the skin.Modern medicine has proved that long-term drinking of scented tea has the effects of removing freckles, moisturizing dryness, improving eyesight, detoxifying, beautifying, and regulating endocrine.Lincang is an original ecological tea base in western Yunnan, and this tea can be regarded as a souvenir of a visit here.

Walking into this tea shop named Caomu Renhe, there are several mahogany shelves around the storefront of tens of square meters, on which there are various types of tea. The tea set is very antique, and it seems that when you walk into this tea shop, you can still smell the elegant aroma of tea.

"Welcome, may I ask what kind of tea does this lady want to buy?" A woman in a bright cheongsam saw a visitor coming, stood up and greeted her warmly.

"Is there any tea suitable for girls to drink? It's best for beauty."

"Yes, take a look at this kind of flower and fruit tea, and this kind of flower tea is very suitable for female friends to drink. Among them, I especially recommend this Yisheng Nourishing Tea from a local tea factory to you. Herbal medicine and food are homologous herbs, and it is made of high-quality Pu'er tea, which is very effective in treating common gynecological diseases such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, less menstrual flow, dark color, cold pulse, and blood clots. In addition, it also has It has a very good curative effect on insomnia, dull complexion, pigmentation, graying hair, and uncoordinated life between men and women, both men and women, caused by qi and blood."

The female clerk picked up a box with a simple packaging on the shelf, and began to introduce and sell it to Xu Yunhan. Xu Yunhan took the beauty tea, but didn't quite believe what the clerk said.
"Is this tea really so effective? Hearing what you say, it's almost like a panacea."

"I don't dare to say panacea, but long-term drinking is definitely beneficial to the body. The biggest feature of this tea is that it "harmonizes the five internal organs and regulates qi and blood." This tea is made by the tea factory according to the formula in ancient medical books. Very good, if the word of mouth is not good, I dare not recommend it to you, isn't this a blow to my own brand?"

"Okay, take a box, and another box of high-quality scented tea." Xu Yunhan looked at the logo of Yunnan specialties written on the box, and decided to buy a box. Anyway, it was Dai Xiaobei's request, so he must buy local specialties no.

"Okay, one box of beauty tea and one box of scented tea, the total is 680 yuan." The clerk moved very neatly and quickly packed the tea she needed.

"You can swipe your card." Xu Yunhan asked. Although she had cash on her body, she didn't bring much with her. She wanted to continue eating delicious food later.

"Of course." The clerk took the bank card and finished the payment. "Here, your bank card."

Xu Yunhan, who was about to go out with the tea she bought, said, "Pu'er tea?" She stopped to look at the name of the product on the mahogany shelf. When Xu Yunhan was a fat man, he did not drink less Pu'er tea. This Pu-erh tea can reduce weight and reduce fat. Although it has no effect in the end, she has developed a habit of drinking Pu-erh tea. She has been so busy recently that she hasn't drank it for several days. She really misses the mellow and sweet taste.

"You can buy some more Pu'er tea. This Yunnan Pu'er tea is produced by the unique large-leaved tea tree in Yunnan." Seeing Xu Yunhan stop to look at the Pu'er tea on the shelf, the clerk hurried forward and enthusiastically introduced it.

"Puer tea becomes more fragrant as it gets older. It is known as "drinkable antique". Puer tea has huge collection value and value-added space. The older Puer tea is, the higher the price and the better the taste."

Pu'er tea belongs to black tea, and it got its name because its place of origin used to belong to Pu'er Prefecture, Yunnan Province (now PE City).There are raw tea and cooked tea. Raw tea is naturally fermented, while cooked tea is artificially ripened. "Older and more fragrant" is recognized as the biggest feature of Pu'er tea that distinguishes it from other teas. However, Pu-erh tea is expensive because it is "old" and tends to gradually appreciate in value over time.

Pu'er tea has a very long history. As early as 3000 years ago when King Wu defeated Zhou, Pu people, the ancestors of tea planting in Yunnan, offered tea to King Wu of Zhou, but there was no such name as Pu'er tea at that time.In the Yuan Dynasty, there was a place named "Buribu", which was later written in Chinese characters and became "Pu'er" (at that time, "Er" did not have three points of water).The term Pu'er was first seen here, and since then it has become famous both at home and abroad. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the name was changed to Pu'er tea.

In the Qing Dynasty, Pu’er tea reached its first heyday. In the 18th year of Shunzhi, the Tibetan sect Deng Jimo Legen asked for Fangwu in the Beisheng (Yongsheng) State Mutual Market Tea Horse. The market opened in October and traded [-] tons of tea every year. , Pu'er tea has become an important media for friendly exchanges between the mainland and Tibetans, and has become an irreplaceable daily necessity in the minds of Tibetans.During the Qing Dynasty, Pu-erh tea was reborn and turned into a phoenix branch. It was not only widely loved by people at home and abroad, but also became a tribute tea that was favored by the court. It was the most glorious and prosperous era.Until today, Pu'er tea, like Longjing, Biluochun, Tieguanyin, etc., is well known by Chinese tea drinkers.

The female clerk has solid professional knowledge, and the stories about Pu'er tea are also handy.

"It is said that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the Pujia tea house in the Pu'er area pressed undried raw tea cakes and loaded them as tribute. When they arrived in the capital, they found that the green and white tea cakes had turned brown. The young owner of the tea house who escorted the tea to Beijing because of The tribute tea was beyond recognition, and even thought of dying, but inadvertently found that the taste of the tea became fragrant and sweet, and the color of the tea was red and bright. These teas were deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong, and they named them Pu'er tea. You can order some more Pu’er tea? Our Pu’er tea is definitely of the highest quality, and it’s worth drinking by yourself or as a gift to friends.”
