Concubine Chef Youxi: Lord, Master, stop

Chapter 122 On Tea
Seven things to open the door: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea.

The only thing Mi Xiaoye hadn't discussed with Su Ziling was tea.

Su Ziling likes to drink tea very much. When Mi Xiaoye first came last year, Su Ziling's favorite (most perverted) thing was watching Mi Xiaoye suffer while sipping tea leisurely on the recliner.

The source of the matter was yesterday, because Mi Xiaoye was in a good mood after visiting the vegetable market, and after returning home, she accidentally made Maoxuewang, a super spicy and super spicy version, and the spicy Su Ziling felt dizzy and dizzy.

When they woke up the next morning, Su Ziling felt a little uncomfortable in his throat, so he made tea to drink.

Mi Xiaoye likes to drink all kinds of beverages in modern times, but she doesn't often drink tea, and her research is average.Just by chance, I saw an introduction about tea culture in a documentary, and then looked at the master who was drinking tea, the expressionless Yun Muqing and herself with a bitter face, Mi Xiaoye couldn't calm down.

"Master, why don't you talk about tea to your disciples?" Mi Xiaoye asked while carving flowers according to Su Ziling's request.

Su Ziling nodded and said with a smile, "Of course."

Dashang tea is precious, ordinary people can't afford it, and Lu Yu, the tea sage who Mi Xiaoye is familiar with, has not yet written the "Tea Classic" handed down from generation to generation.

Therefore, Mi Xiaoye waited eagerly for Su Ziling to talk about tea.

Su Ziling said leisurely: ""Tea has been around for a long time,'Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered 72 poisons every day, and got tea to cure them'.As far back as the Han Dynasty, tea became a beverage.During the Jin Dynasty, the tea style developed and became popular among the people... If you want to talk about the tea of ​​Dashang, you have to mention monks and Taoists.For example, Zen temples are mostly built in deep mountains and ancient forests, and the environment is superior, so they can grow a lot of tea, so monks can also produce a lot of tea. 'Good tea has been produced in high mountains since ancient times', so most of the good tea comes from the hands of monks in temples.Like Nanyue, there are many temples, and the tea leaves are carefully baked by monks.Wuyi tea, Nanhai Putuo tea, Nanyue Yunwu tea, and Jingshan Temple tea all come from temples. "

Mi Xiaoye nodded and said, "Unexpectedly, the famous tea of ​​my Dashang is made by monks and priests. Master, if you have time, take me to the temple and Taoist temple on the mountain to taste tea, okay?"

"Of course, Master will take you to more places in the future." Su Ziling said.

Tea is not just a drink, but more importantly, a culture has been formed.In addition to the general tea drinking rituals, the Shang Dynasty had formed court tea culture circles, literati tea culture circles, public tea culture circles, and monk tea culture circles. People in different cultural circles naturally had different rules for drinking tea.

When it comes to tea, what surprised Mi Xiaoye the most is that afternoon tea is not unique to the UK, but I have already enjoyed afternoon tea during my business days!

Especially in the palace, it is the best place to enjoy afternoon tea.Every afternoon, in the noble court music, the maids began to serve the ladies, appreciating tea cakes, roasting tea, grinding tea, sifting tea, waiting soup, adding salt, scooping soup and other processes.

Su Ziling said: "In the homes of some wealthy businessmen, high-ranking officials, or royal relatives, it can be said that it is a very luxurious enjoyment to add some small snacks within or outside of the three meals. I am a big businessman influenced by the barbarians, and I prefer crispy and crispy bread. , Dessert with heavy milk flavor. Because the tea is slightly bitter and astringent, it can relieve the heavy taste and greasy of the dessert. Therefore, tea and desserts cannot be separated, such as cheese poured with cherries, jelly cakes, and glutinous rice cakes. Besides, the Touhua Ci, Guifeihong, and Mijin secret made by Deng Lian, the wife of Mrs. Guo’s family, are also well-known for a time.”
