Chapter 56 Tea originated in China(1/2)
The Western Zhou Dynasty... "Shennong Bencao Jing"?!
Lu Yu's words once again made everyone confused!
Didn’t it mean that “Shennong Bencao Jing” was written in the Eastern Han Dynasty?
When did this book also exist in the Western Zhou Dynasty?!
Could it be that Lu Yu is talking nonsense? But it doesn’t look like it!
At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly took out his cell phone and shook it: "This is the news from noon today. If there is an Internet connection, you can check it."
News today at noon...
Zhao Quanqi suddenly panicked. If this is true, then the question he had asked was clearly hitting the gun!
You should know that Chinese people are the most patriotic around the world!
Once there is really evidence that China is the birthplace of tea, then you will not be scolded to death by the people of the whole country?!
The staff hurriedly brought the computer and connected the Internet cable in chaos.
Following Lu Yu's prompt, I saw a message on the official website of the China Tea People's Federation...
"Major archaeological discoveries may change the history of world tea culture!"
"A Chinese archaeologists discovered a "Shennong Bencao Jing" in an ancient tomb excavated by the Guanzhong Plain."
"This is the earliest version of this Chinese medical work, the one discovered today..."
"There are clear records about tea..."
At this moment, Lu Yu said leisurely: "Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and encountered 72 poisons every day, and he got tea to relieve it."
"And the 'Tea' mentioned here is tea, which can fully prove that China is the true birthplace of tea!"
The room was quiet, almost enough to hear a needle!
Zhao Quanqi was sweating all over her body, and even her hands began to tremble slightly!
What Lu Yu said was actually true!
And it's just like the official website!
What is this going on?! China is really the birthplace of tea?!
...
In fact, even Lu Yu’s original world.
There is no record in the incomplete "Shennong Bencao Jing" that "Shennong tastes hundreds of herbs, encounters 72 poisons a day, and gets tear to relieve it."
However, this record has been passed down by word of mouth among generations of tea people in China, and is even regarded as the golden rule.
And all Chinese tea people also truly believe that this record is true.
It is precisely because Lu Yu is sure of this history.
That's why he used "civilized road signs" to restore this history.
But he was betting on the carrier of the road sign in the Western Zhou Dynasty!
In addition to believing that there are indeed records about tea in the "Shennong Bencao Jing".
I also believe that this Chinese medical masterpiece existed in the pre-Qin period and even earlier!
He bet right!
Archaeologists in this world really discovered the earlier "Shennong Bencao Jing" in the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty!
At this moment, Lu Yu did not care about Zhao Quanqi and others' expressions of mourning and approving the exam.
He suddenly sighed.
Whether it is the current parallel world or the world where it was originally located.
There are so many great deeds buried in the long river of history!
Many of the so-called "assertions" or "legends" today are gradually forgotten by people because they have no historical evidence.
It’s just that human creativity and practical ability are endless.
People can not only restore the so-called "legends" to reality in the rolling river of history.
You can use your own hands to break those arrogant "assertions"!
This is just like in the original world, Western countries once asserted that "China has absolutely no oil"!
The unyielding Chinese people forced themselves to mine endless "liquid gold" in the Great Northern Wilderness, at the foot of Kunlun Mountains... all over the country!
It swelled the faces of the so-called "experts" in the West!
...
You said that China cannot have good tea, but there is really no one?
I, Lu Yu, are here!
Famous Chinese tea will eventually shine!
...
Lu Yu took a deep breath and slowly calmed down his blood.
He looked at the review seat in a blink of an eye and said, "Three review teachers, can I continue?"
The other two nodded blankly in their lives, and at the same time glared at Zhao Quanqi fiercely.
If it weren't for the bad idea that Zhao Quanqi came up with, it wouldn't have caused such a result!
No wonder Mr. Qi and Li Lupeng sang and promoted Chinese culture in the previous assessment.
It is very likely that they had already heard the news!
If you don’t know about this, send the video of the assessment to the Internet.
If the people of the whole country see that they actually voted for the first three candidates...
Just thinking about it makes me feel desperate!
Of course, Zhao Quanqi felt even more distressed. He wanted to design Lu Yu, but he didn't expect to bury himself in a pit!
But now, he simply didn't care much about it!
"Lu Yu, even with this archaeological discovery, it can only prove that we Chinese people were the first to use tea as medicine, and it does not mean the real origin of tea!"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Chairman Zhao, if you want to say that, please remove the previous word "Chinese" and then talk to me."
"That word before the Chinese people?"
Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, you'd better not say "we" Chinese. If you are also Chinese, don't say such things."
"You..." Zhao Quanqi's face turned pale due to choking.
But at this moment he really couldn't refute it.
The Chinese Tea People Federation did not say anything, but Zhao Quanqi, who is the chairman of the tea association in the city?
"Okay, okay! Don't mention this!"
Zhao Quanqi waved his hand and said, "But Zheng Xi openly claimed that China is the birthplace of tea without evidence. This is always wrong, right?!"
Lu Yu smiled slightly: "How do you know that Mr. Zheng has no evidence?"
Zhao Quanqi's pupils shrank and said, "Are you saying that Zheng Xi has evidence?"
Whether Zheng Xi has conclusive evidence Lu Yu is not clear.
But Lu Yu knew that Zheng Xi had at least one ancient book about Tieguanyin tea in his hand!
He smiled faintly and said, "I don't know whether Mr. Zheng's evidence is sufficient, but have you given Mr. Zheng a chance?"
"Boss Zheng has been working hard for the glory of Chinese tea for most of his life. What have you done?!"
"Take a step back, even if Mr. Zheng has no evidence at all, he is a hundred times better than someone like you who has no confidence in his motherland and nation!"
Speaking of this, Lu Yu let out a long sigh and stared at Zhao Quanqi with a smile...
"I heard that when Mr. Zheng was disqualified from the tea man, Chairman Zhao wrote a limerick because he hated Mr. Zheng for refusing the invitation from the Tea Association?"
"Yes..." Zhao Quanqi nodded subconsciously.
"That's how the limerick is written, right?"
Lu Yu recalled it and chanted softly...
“With water, it’s also a stream,”
"It's also Xi without water,"
"Go to the stream,"
"Add a bird is a chicken."
"A cat is better than a tiger,"
To be continued...
