Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1359: Male and female match, work is not tired! (Thanks to the leader Heihongmeifang…

(Two in one chapter!)

How did people in the Tang Dynasty drink tea?

First grind the tea leaves into powder, and then boil the water.

Add salt after the first boiling, and after the second boiling, you can pour the ground tea and continue boiling.

After the third boiling, divide the tea soup into tea cups.

This is not enough. You must add green onions, ginger, dates, orange peel, cornel, mint, etc. according to your personal taste. You can also add spices and the like.

The taste is so sour! Anyway, after Li Zexuan tried it once, he avoided all the teas of this era!

Because where is the tea? It's terrible than Chinese medicine!

In fact, when talking about the tea ceremony in ancient China, it probably started in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. After the invasion of the grassland tribes in the Yuan Dynasty, the tea ceremony in China has gradually declined. In the Ming Dynasty, it showed another scene.

In a nutshell, the Tang Dynasty made tea and the Song Dynasty ordered tea. Whether making tea or ordering tea, people used crushed tea powder as the raw material for making tea, but this method was completely changed in the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang once visited people’s sentiments and saw that the people were struggling to make dragon and phoenix tea to pay tribute to the imperial palace. It was very hard, and it had to be made again if there was a flaw. It took time and wasted a lot of good material.

So, in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to abolish tuan tea and changed it to tribute leaf tea (loose tea).

From then on, "Tang Zhu Song Dian" changed to boiling water to make tea.

When Li Zexuan just crossed over, I regretted why I didn’t cross to the Ming Dynasty, but after thinking about it, I was relieved. Since the Tang Dynasty was popular for cooking tea, but not fried tea, then I came by myself Lead the fashion!

However, since the beginning of spring this year, too many things have happened. Li Zexuan didn’t have the time to search for good spring tea for frying. Today, Zheng Yinhong took the initiative to deliver a batch of good and fresh, not crushed. Hangzhou spring tea, how could he waste it?

And this is the spring tea from Lingyin Temple!

Lingyin Temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, is backed by the North Peak and faces the Feilai Peak. It was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, tea was abundant on the mountain north peak. Lu Yu, a famous tea saint in the Mid-Tang Dynasty, wrote the world's first tea monograph "Tea Jing", which contains records of tea produced in Hangzhou Lingyin Temple. This tea is the predecessor of West Lake Longjing Tea!

The spring tea sent by Zheng Yinhong after the rain can also be called Longjing after the rain!

So, when Li Zexuan heard that the tea in the wooden box was produced in Lingyin Temple, Hangzhou, it was not surprising that he became so excited!

"Hehe! Benhou has always heard that Hangzhou is a place of beauty and beauty. The northern peak of Lingyin Temple is even more beautiful and beautiful. The tea produced in that place must taste very good! And it is true, Benhou I don’t like to crush the tea before drinking it, because it has deviated from the original taste of tea, and brewing the tea with boiling water can better appreciate the true taste of tea!"

Li Zexuan asked Pang Feiji to buy tea, then looked at Zheng Yinhong and said with admiration.

"Hou Ye is really good, and Zheng has the same feeling. When he was in the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng had long heard that Hou Ye was a master of civil and martial arts. I didn’t expect that Hou Ye would have such unique insights while tasting tea. It's a friend of Zheng!"

Zheng Yinhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said with joy on his face.

After getting the good rain in Longjing, Li Zexuan was also in a good mood. He laughed and said: "Haha! Benhou and Zheng Zhuangzhu also met and hated the night, and later he will wait for Benhou to make spring tea after the rain. After going around, I will definitely invite Zhuang Zhuang Zhuang to go to Yunshan to taste one or two. I hope Zhuang Zhuang Zhuang can have a leisure time!"

"If you can be invited by Lord Hou, Zheng will be on time for the appointment. What's more, although the old man was far away in the south of the Yangtze River before, he also knows that Lord Hou has superb accomplishments in drinking food and wine. Lord's hand, it will be more scented! Zheng will be considered a blessing by then!"

Zheng Yinhong smiled and arched his hands, then stood up and said: "It's too early, Zheng will not bother Master Hou here, goodbye!"

Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. Zheng Yinhong secretly said that Zheng Yinhong is a bit interesting. Generally, people who come to give gifts will ask for something after giving gifts, but this old man just pats someone on his **** after giving gifts. It seems that it was really just a simple visit to him, really interesting!

As a mature adult, Li Zexuan certainly wouldn’t foolishly think that Zheng Yinhong just admired his fame and came here simply to see him, but since Zheng Yinhong didn’t say anything, then Li Zexuan didn’t need to ask, anyway. I just accepted him a box of tea. If he has any excessive demands in the future, he will not agree.

But having said that, he thinks that this old man surnamed Zheng is not the kind of person who is ignorant of current affairs, and should not make any excessive demands!

"If this is the case, then Benhou will not leave Zheng Zhuangzhu, take care!"

Li Zexuan got up and gave off his hands.

"Hou Ye take care and goodbye!"

After Zheng Yinhong said that, he took his son to go out cleanly, really waving his sleeves without taking away a cloud!

"Msang Gong, why are you interested in tea? Didn't you hate tea the most before?"

After Zheng Yinhong and his son left, Han Yuxi came out of the side hall, walked to Li Zexuan, and asked curiously.

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Hey! I didn't meet good tea, and I didn't use the correct method of making tea. After the tea leaves are dried, you can make a pot of good rain for your wife. Houchun tea! At that time, you will understand the lady, why didn't you drink the tea soup before!"

……………………………

"Father, did we just leave?"

On the concrete road at the foot of Yunshan, the Zheng family’s carriage was running steadily. The flat concrete road made the carriage almost no bumps. In the carriage, Zheng Qianjun looked at his father in a puzzled manner and asked Tao.

Zheng Yinhong leaned on the brocade couch in the carriage, and replied calmly: "What? It's getting dark, let's not leave yet, is it possible that your kid still wants you to stay on Yunshan for dinner? ?"

After that, Zheng Yinhong closed his eyes, planning to close his eyes and rest.

Zheng Qianjun said helplessly: "No, Dad, did you say that you came to Yunshan today just to bring tea to Yonganhou?"

Zheng Yinhong opened his eyes, and said with an aura: "What? Isn't it like? Do you still want to exchange these tea leaves for your father with Yong'anhou for any benefit? As long as you do that, the husband can guarantee that we father and son are sure Will be kicked out!

This time Yongan Hou Neng likes the tea we sent, which is already great news for us! If we insist on other things, it will only make Yonganhou feel that we are just a market merchant and not worth paying for! Now we at least have a good relationship with Yonganhou, which is impossible for many people to ask for!

As for other things, when the friendship arrives in the future, even if we don't mention it, Yonganhou will give us some ways to make money! Take a look at Cao Wendong, Lin Wenyuan and others who are with Yonganhou, are they getting more and more popular one by one?

So, Qianjun, you have to practice in the city government, and make friends with gentlemen, and you must not be too cheap! "

Zheng Qianjun nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Yes, Dad! I know! But Dad, you are really too risky to give tea to Yonganhou this time! But fortunately, you gave it right, Yongan. Hou actually likes fresh tea, we are really lucky!"

"Are you lucky?"

Zheng Yinhong smiled, then sighed, and said: "Before my father came, I spent a lot of time sending people to collect Yonganhou's preferences, and wondered what to give him, but In the end, it was found that nothing was appropriate, because Yonganhou was not short of money, power, food and wine, and it seemed that there was no shortage of women!

After much deliberation, I had to take such a dangerous move for my father, but I didn't expect that Yonganhou would like to loose tea leaves instead of making soup with powdered tea, just like my father! After all, we are also lucky! "

"The main reason is that you have the courage, dad, you must not dare to take such a risk if you are someone else!"

Zheng Qianjun couldn’t help complimenting him, and then he turned around and said with emotion: "My boy went to Yunshan this time, and saw Yanhuang Academy and the other Yunshan Academy. It was an eye-opener and he said that Yongan Hou is the child of a fairy, and I finally believe it!"

Zheng Qianjun glanced at his son with a smile, and said: "Your kid is about the same age as Yong'an Hou. If he can have 10% of Yong'an Hou's ability, he will be stunned even if his father is dead. Siqi, after going back this time, Qianjun, you have to study hard, our Zheng family, can't be the home of merchants for generations!"

"...Yes, dad!"

The next day, there was no cloud in the sky, and it was another sunny day.

Li Zexuan instructed Xiaohe and Xiao Xi to put the spring tea after the rain sent by Zheng Yinhong in a bamboo sieve to dry. Just in the early morning, the two servants of the Zheng family brought ten boxes of spring tea to Li Zexuan. That's right, it is ten boxes. It is estimated that Zheng Yinhong moved all of his inventory to Li Zexuan. Li Zexuan was happy in his heart. Anyway, it was not too much, so he let Xiaohe and the others dry them together!

This process generally takes about half a day. The purpose is to reduce the grassy taste in the tea, make the moisture meet the requirements of frying, and at the same time make the new tea not agglomerate during frying.

After finishing the arrangement, Li Zexuan went to Yanhuang Academy. Recently, the Academy has a lot of affairs. As a mountain leader, he naturally can't get away!

At around mid-afternoon, Li Zexuan happened to have just had lunch and saw that the tea leaves in the backyard were about to dry. Then he became very interested and asked people to take the tea to the kitchen. He would personally "cook" the tea!

"Msang Gong, where is this tea for frying? You can't remember it wrong?"

Han Yuxi heard that Li Zexuan was going to fry tea, she immediately followed the kitchen with a dazed expression and asked.

Li Zexuan smiled confidently and said: "As a husband, of course I remember correctly. Back then, my master and his elders drank fried tea, but it’s not powdered tea. What’s so good about the powdered tea? It just so happens that my husband hasn’t cooked for a long time, and I don’t know where to regress. You come to take care of it, and I will teach you by the side~!"

Before he got married, Li Zexuan's cooking skills were quite good in the Li family, but after getting married, he basically entered a state of eating all day long and waiting to die. Han Yuxi changed tricks every day to give him good food. Yes, if he hadn't insisted on practicing swords every morning, he would have been fattened into a horse!

As a result, he basically doesn't know how to cook much now, and has become a complete "mouth king"!

"Well! Since Xianggong insists on making tea, the concubine will help you make it!"

Han Yuxi nodded, and then asked someone to help her find the apron "invented" by Li Zexuan, and after tying it up, he walked to the stove.

She has never refused Li Zexuan's request. Some people say that Li Zexuan dotes on his wife, but it is better to say that Han Yuxi beloved her husband!

"Lady, the whole process of tea frying is divided into three stages: the green pot, the resurgence, and the bright pot: the so-called green pot means that the tea leaves are initially formed into a flat shape within a quarter of an hour, and the tea leaves are fried until 70 to 80% dry. ; Next is the resurgence. The tea leaves that have gone through the green pot step are spread out in a bamboo sieve to resurge, it takes about half an hour;

Finally is the Hui pot. Add the regained tea leaves to the pot and stir-fry to reduce the moisture to about 5%, and further shape it. This process takes about a quarter of an hour. The tea leaves after the hui pot are finished and can be brewed directly with boiling water! "

Li Zexuan came to Han Yuxi's side and roughly explained the steps of frying tea.

These are all he has seen on TV before. In practice, he has not really personally fired them!

When Li Zexuan was just talking, Han Yuxi was memorizing and thinking about the specific operation methods of each step in her mind. At this moment, after Li Zexuan had finished speaking, she nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yeah! , The concubine body should understand, let the concubine body try~!"

Li Zexuan grinned and said: "Hehe! Even if you try, my lady still has too many tea leaves. It doesn't matter if you try it out! Oh~ IndoMTL.com~ Come, come and help you burn the fire for your husband, this male and female match , Aren’t you tired from work!"

Han Yuxi has long been accustomed to the inconsistency of her own mate. She gave Li Zexuan a glance and said: "Msang, don’t you have to go to the college in the afternoon? I heard that there are so many things in the college recently. Go ahead! It's enough to have concubines and Xiaohe here!"

Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, wait until you're done, and it's a big deal to stay at the college for your husband a little longer at night!"

Seeing the persuasion, Han Yuxi had no choice but to let Li Zexuan's temperament come.

Over there, Li Zexuan has already burnt firewood. In this era, there is no gas, no natural gas, and even no induction cooker. You can only rely on firewood for cooking.

Xiaohe had already helped Han Yuxi clean the pot. Seeing that the fire was almost over, Han Yuxi poured the tea leaves that Xiaoxi handed over into the pot and started her first tea frying in her life!
