Legacy of the old dynasty

After the Qingming Festival, Zhang Qiling really took them to the tea garden, the road was not far, and it took half a day to ride a horse.The tea garden follows the mountain, and there are tall trees on both sides of the road, covering the sky and the sun.From time to time, a stream of springs flows down from the cracks in the rocks, adding a bit of interest.

Along the way, there are also several tea stalls, or pavilions, or bamboo pavilions for people to rest and taste tea. The shopkeepers are all nearby tea farmers.Zhang Qiling led them all the way to the top of the mountain without stopping.

Seeing the green expanse in front of him, Prince Wang immediately became poetic, and he opened his mouth and chanted: "Tea. Fragrant leaves, tender buds."

Neither of them left, and stood there watching how he would pick it up.

Wang Gongzi shook his fan violently on the spot for a while, frowned, then walked forward and thought for a few words: "Mu Shike, Ai Seng's family."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiling nodded, and said: "It's a bit interesting." Wu Xie thought for a while, and then continued: "Grinding and carving white jade, weaving red yarn. Frying yellow pistil color, turning the bowl to twist dust flowers."

When Wang Gongzi heard it, he couldn't answer it again, and said with a smile: "That's all, let's talk about it after drinking tea. I've been away for a long time, and my throat is about to smoke."

Just as I was talking, the place arrived.The shopkeeper has already greeted them outside the door.

Zhang Qiling whispered to Wu Xie: "This is for my family to serve tea, Liu Da." Wu Xie nodded, and then remembered to ask him: "Since we are old acquaintances, why did you bring me here today?"

He really didn't remember it.The last time he went out, Wu Xie and Prince Wang went to the temple, and he waited at the foot of the mountain alone.In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to go with him, it was because there were too many people, and he lost interest when they were crowded together.Later, I promised to take him to the tea garden to have a look, but who knows that it has been delayed until now.

The water is the spring water drawn from the mountains by splitting the bamboo pipes and opening the bamboo joints.The teapots and tea bowls are all made of pottery, and the fire in the red clay stove is burning vigorously. The flames are filled with charcoal and crackling, which is very interesting to the sound of the pine waves in the forest.But that's not enough, when the tea is in my mouth, I really want to sigh, it's wonderful.

Wu Xie put down the teacup, and said with emotion: "Sure enough, good mountains and good waters make good tea. I often eat this tea at home, but it doesn't taste like today."

The tea farmer clasped his hands and said: "The tea at the son's house is no different from mine, but my water is indeed the only one, and it is specially paired with this kind of hair tip to get the taste. If you change other teas, use this water again, the taste will be better." But flat."

Prince Wang nodded and said, "It seems that one thing is one thing."

Zhang Qiling said: "Jiangnan green tea has a clear taste. If the water quality is too hard, the taste will be completely suppressed, and it will not be able to exert its full strength."

Wu Xie also said: "I heard from my third uncle that people in the north drink tea and drink a special kind of high foam, which is the broken leaves of various famous teas, mixed together. The fragrance is very strong at first. But after two drinks Over and over again, it will be tasteless.”

Prince Wang laughed and said, "Then, regardless of tea, wine is the same."

Wu Xie became interested and asked him, "How do you say that?"

Prince Wang got excited, poured down the tea in the cup in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and started to talk again: "Talk about the boundary of Fenzhou, and there is a kind of wine..."

Having just said this, Wu Xie leaned into Zhang Qiling's ear and whispered, "Listen, as long as he says 'talk', it's absolutely nonsense." Zhang Qiling couldn't hold back, and almost spit out a sip of tea.Prince Wang stopped talking immediately and looked at the two of them vigilantly.

Wu Xie simply covered her face with her sleeve, turned her head and smiled.Zhang Qiling waved his hand at Prince Wang, and struggled to utter a few words: "You, continue."

Prince Wang gave them both a blank look, and then said: "The name of that wine is Zhuyeqing. How did it come about?" He deliberately stopped here, looking at the two people.

At this time, Liu Da popped up a sentence: "Yes, how did you come here?" Wu Xie immediately wanted to laugh again.

Prince Wang glanced at him with satisfaction, and then continued: "There is an allusion here. It is said that there is a winery. The wine made in the local area is always the worst in taste. If the wine is not sold well, the shopkeeper also has a headache. Then One day, I finally had a big business. The road was far away, and many restaurants were unwilling to give it away, so it was his turn. The two young men, small and weak, worked together to lift a wine jar and set out on the road. As a result, halfway through the journey, the sun was three poles, passing a bamboo forest, the two were thirsty and tired, and there was no water around, and finally decided to drink to quench their thirst. But there was no cup, so the younger one picked two bamboo leaves and rolled them into two A wine cup. The person who makes wine drinks like drinking water. Seeing that he drank half a jar, he lifted it up and walked forward. It happened that when he was about to leave the bamboo forest, he saw a spring from the foot of the bamboo, which was only the size of a palm. The spring water was blowing. The two thought it was good, rolled two more wine cups, and added the water from the spring into the wine."

Hearing this, Wu Xie hesitated and said, "Isn't this just adding water to the wine?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head and looked at Prince Wang, but he was speaking to Wu Xie: "You don't understand, the characteristic of this kind of story is often to insert willows unintentionally, believe it or not? I will talk about that wine turned into fine wine later, it must be Thanks to the water, the owner of the distillery used the spring water to make wine, and became famous all over the world..."

Prince Wang coughed: "Brother Zhang...Although the story is true...but why did you finish telling me!"

Wu Xie laughed so hard that he almost rolled under the table.
