Yun Zheng glanced at him and suddenly said: "Are we just going to stand and talk like this?"
Luo Qiwei was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head: "Look at me, when I saw Young Marshal Yun, I was all excited and bewildered. Young Marshal, please sit down. Mr. Zhang also invited someone to sit down and serve tea... Uh, I don't know Young Marshal."
Do you like Suzhou's 'frightening fragrance' or West Lake Longjing?"
Before Yun Zheng could answer, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside: "Gang Leader Luo, in terms of reputation of these two teas, West Lake Longjing is definitely better than 'Scaring Fragrance', but Wu Yu knows that Marshal Yun
It will definitely make Suzhou 'frightening and frightening'"
Yun Zheng heard this female voice, soft but not charming, like the drizzle in early autumn, which can actually give people a fresh feeling of "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late and autumn comes", he couldn't help but turn his head and look out the door. It's a pity that the beautiful lady
She hadn't appeared yet, so she cast a doubtful look at Luo Qiwei, which obviously meant to ask: "Who is this girl?"
Luo Qiwei was surprised at first. When Yun Zheng looked at him, he quickly explained: "Young Marshal, this is the beloved daughter of Nangong Yinhai, the master of Nanjian Pavilion. This time she came to our Haisha Gang to discuss matters.
Some cooperation matters are delayed here because of a series of accidents caused by our team..."
When Yunzheng heard this, he immediately laughed and thought to himself, this woman is probably the Nangong girl that her mother called her. I heard that this girl is good at business. Nangong Yinhai of Nanjiange has left her to take care of the business for several years.
, and after she took over most of Nanjiange's business, Nanjiange, which was already quite wealthy, developed like a snowball, and now it is very rich... Since she is Nangong Yinhai's daughter, she must know that my mother
It’s just that my mother’s identity has not been revealed to the outside world. It’s better to pretend not to know her at the moment. This seems wrong. I really don’t know Nangong Wuyu, so there seems to be no need to pretend...
"It turns out to be Miss Nangong. I wonder how she is so sure that I will definitely want that 'scary fragrance'?" Yun Zheng asked with a smile.
At this time, a young girl appeared at the door. This young girl was dressed in a light blue emerald smoked sweater, a pleated skirt with scattered floral water mist and sea waves, and a thin veil of autumn water. Her shoulders looked as if they had been shaved, her waist was as plain as a knot, and her muscles were like condensed fat.
Although Qi Biyoulan only applied a thin layer of powder, her appearance was more elegant. She glanced at Yun Zheng with her beautiful eyes, a meaningful smile appeared on her face, and her red lips slightly opened: "There are rumors in the market, Yun Zheng
The young marshal conquered Yanjing with 100,000 tigers, and Wengailuodu had 3,000 talented men. Although the common women had heard about it for a long time, they had not met each other by chance, so they were not surprised at all. Unexpectedly, they were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the young marshal during their visit to the north.
...Ignore the rest, the young commander’s demeanor alone is enough to make people feel heartbroken.”
Yun Zheng laughed inwardly. He was indeed a man who was good at business. His words were really nice. First, he used rumors to praise me for being both civil and military. Then he said, "Don't worry about the rest." He also praised his "demeanor and demeanor" which is heartbreaking
, doesn’t this mean that this young marshal is good at martial arts and handsome? Hehe, what a wonderful mouth...
"What Miss Nangong said, even though I am thick-skinned, I can't help but blush." Yun Zheng stood up with a smile and said, "It's just that Miss Nangong hasn't solved the mystery yet: why do I definitely choose 'Scaring Fragrance'?"
Nangong Wuyu smiled sweetly: "It's just because your father-in-law is from Suzhou, so the daughter of the people guessed it like this, but I don't know if it is true or not?"
Yunzheng laughed loudly: "Miss Nangong guessed it right. I grew up drinking Dongting's 'Scaring Fragrance' since I was a child, so whenever I drink tea, I must choose this 'Scaring Fragrance'. This tea is very good.
But the origin of the name of this tea is quite plain... According to legend, a nun went to the mountains for a spring outing and picked a few tea leaves. After brewing the tea, the fragrance was so fragrant that she blurted out, "The fragrance is so frightening" that Suzhou locals began to
This tea is called 'Scaring Fragrance', but I have always felt that tea is an elegant thing. Although the name of this tea is appropriate, it is not elegant enough. The tea soup is green in color and curled like a snail, so I call this tea '
Biluochun'"
The so-called Biluochun tea has tightly knotted cords, curled like a snail, with white hair exposed, silvery green and emerald leaves, and tender leaf buds. After brewing, the tea flavor slowly spreads, flying up and down. The tea water is silvery green, with a refreshing fragrance, and the taste is cool and sweet.
Shuangshengjin was listed as a tribute as early as the late Tang and early Song Dynasties.
However, there are many theories about when Biluochun began and the origin of its name. According to the "Unofficial History" of the Qing Dynasty, "The stone wall of Biluofeng in the east mountain of Dongting produces several wild tea plants. The locals call it: 'Scaring people's fragrance'. Kangxi Ji Mao..."
…Fu minister Zhu Nao purchased this tea to bring into the country..., and named it because of his indecent and tame character. He wrote, “Biluochun has an official from the local area, so he must buy it and bring it in as a gift every year.” According to legend, during the Ming Dynasty, Prime Minister Wang Ao was the queen of the East.
A native of Shanluxiang, the name "Biluochun" was inscribed by him. According to "Suijianlu", "There is tea in Dongting Mountain, which is slightly like tea and fine, with a very sweet and fragrant taste. It is commonly known as 'frightening people', and is produced in Biluofeng."
It is particularly good and named 'Biluochun'." If this is true, Biluochun tea should have originated in the Ming Dynasty and had become famous before Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River. Some people also believe that Biluochun tea was picked in the Ming Dynasty because of its curly shape like a snail and green color.
It got its name in early spring. According to "Suzhou Prefecture Chronicles": "The stone wall of Biluo in the east mountain of Dongting produces wild tea trees. Every year, the natives carry baskets and pick them back. There is no difference. In a certain year of Kangxi, the ones picked according to the time are the same as before, but the leaves are the same.
There were many teas in the arms, and the tea warmed up to the body temperature, and the strange fragrance suddenly burst out. Tea pickers shouted: "It frightens people! The tea got its name from this." According to the "Liu Nan Essays" written by Wang Yingkui of the Qing Dynasty: Emperor Kangxi, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty
In the spring of the 38th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Song Luo, the governor of Taihu Lake during his third southern inspection tour, purchased the refined 'Scaring Incense' from Zhu Zhengyuan, a local tea-making master, as tribute.
"Biluochun" This is one of the stories about the origin of Biluochun's elegant name. Later generations commented that this was the result of Emperor Kangxi who chose its green color, curly shape like a snail, picked it in spring, and derived it from the characteristics of Biluochun in Dongting, etc., so he gave it the beautiful name.
From then on, Biluochun became famous all over the world and became the tribute tea of the Qing Palace.
Although much of the history of the Wei Dynasty has changed beyond recognition, no matter how you say it, from the perspective of the surrounding governments, the time is still only the Song Dynasty. At this time, the name Biluochun must not have appeared yet, so Yunzheng is very shameless.
I have registered the right to authorize this famous Chinese tea.
Luo Qiwei smiled and said: "Young Marshal Yun is indeed worthy of his talent for detecting flowers. The three characters 'Bi Luochun' are indeed much more elegant than 'Scaring Fragrance'. Miss Nangong is also very careful, and she can guess such details correctly..."
Come here, make some... Biluochun!"
As soon as Luo Qiwei finished speaking, Nangong Wuyu suddenly said: "Gang Leader Luo, do you have any good tea sets in your house?"
Luo Qiwei was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course there is." He was telling the truth, because uneducated people hate being told that they are uneducated, so they always try to pretend to be literate with calligraphy, painting, antiques, fine wine, fragrant tea, etc.
, all good things are arty, and the Sea Shark Gang is naturally not immune to this vulgarity.
Nangong Wuyu smiled and said: "That's a coincidence. Wuyu is used to this... If the three of you don't dislike Biluochun's tea art, how about Wuyu brewing this pot of tea?" Although she said
He said "three", but his eyes were only looking at Yunzheng
Yun Zheng also felt strange in his heart. Could it be that this delicate and refined beauty fell in love with me after just seeing me once? Probably not? He shook his head inwardly. Although this young marshal is indeed in good condition in all aspects, but when it comes to
It seems a bit excessive to let such a beautiful woman fall in love at first sight casually. So why did she do this?
But no matter what she was thinking, it would be a great thing to be able to comment on the beauty’s tea skills. How could Yun Zheng refuse? He then put his hands on his hands and smiled and said, “It’s my wish, but I don’t dare to ask for my ear!”
------------------------------- Specializing in tea tasting, naturally you can no longer stay in the central hall, but go to a special tea room
The tea set placed in front of Nangong Wuyu included four Ding kiln white porcelain tea cups, a wooden tea tray, a tea set, a set of tea utensils, a tea pool, a tea towel, an incense burner, and an incense stick.
"Tea must be sipped quietly, the fragrance can lead to spirituality. Before drinking this tea, light this incense to calm the mind, so as to achieve a state of emptiness, tranquility and realize the meaning of tea." Nangong Wuyu elegantly lit the incense and gently
Insert the incense burner
"Then, it's the 'fairy bath', which means cleaning the tea cup again." The girl's movements were very gentle and natural.
"When brewing this...this Biluochun, the water should not be too boiling. After scalding and washing the tea cup, you do not need to cover the lid, but leave the pot open, so that the boiling water in the pot will naturally become cold as the water vapor disperses. You can see that this pot
Mouth is full of steam? This is the so-called 'jade pot containing smoke'"
"This tea has the 'four unique features' - 'beautiful shape, bright color, strong aroma and mellow taste'. Tea appreciation is the first unique feature to appreciate it: 'beautiful shape'. It is said that it takes about 70,000 plucking to produce one kilogram of the best Biluochun.
It’s a bud, you can see that its cords are slender, curled into a snail, covered with hair, silvery white and emerald, how beautiful it is.”
Nangong Wuyu put down the tea cups and continued to explain to the three people: "Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty had a famous saying, 'The rain at night in Bashan rises to the autumn pond', which has a very beautiful artistic conception. In fact, the tea ceremony can also be connected with this. 'The rain rises to the autumn pond' is to pour water into the teacup.
, this water should only be filled to 70% full, leaving 30% to express love.”
As she spoke, she used a tea guide to transfer the Biluochun in the tea lotus into the brewed tea one by one. The silvery white and green Biluochun fell into the cup like snowflakes. After absorbing the water, it fell down.
Shen, the white clouds rolled in an instant, and the snowflakes flew, it was really beautiful. Nangong Wuyu said with a smile: "This step is called flying snow and sinking into the river."
After Biluochun sank into the water, the tea gradually turned green, and the whole teacup seemed to be filled with the breath of spring. Nangong Wuyu watched the process quietly, until the green tea buds and green tea rolled like green clouds in the cup,
The dense steam made the tea smell overflowing. When the fragrance hit people, she handed three cups of brewed tea to Yunzheng, Luo Qiwei and Zhang Xiong, and said softly: "I just smelled the fragrance, and now I can take a closer look.
Taste"
In Yunzheng's memory, there is a complete set of Biluochun's tea tasting methods, so he took the tea cup calmly and took the first sip while it was hot. It was like tasting Xuanyu ointment and Yunhua liquid. He felt that the color was light and the fragrance was faint.
, the soup tastes delicious and elegant. The second sip of tea, the tea soup is greener, the tea aroma is stronger, and the taste is more mellow. I begin to feel the sweetness on my tongue, and my mouth is full of fluids. By the third sip of tea, what I taste is no longer there.
It’s tea, but tasting the breath of spring in Taihu Lake, tasting the abundant vitality of Dongting Mountain, and tasting the various flavors of life.
Yun Zheng tasted this tea and found it quite charming. Zhang Xiong also came from a noble family and was no stranger to this industry. Only Luo Qiwei, the new leader of the Haisha Gang who was uneducated but pretended to be educated, was in a bad situation. He was sipping tea and watching.
Yun Zheng's movements are like those of Handan learning to walk. Not only are his movements stiff, but they are always a bit comical.
The three of them snickered in their hearts, but no one pointed it out. Yunzheng smiled and said: "Tea is good, tea art is even better. This is exactly...the breeze blows in the armpits, and the spirit is like a fairy. It is like traveling in the three mountains, how can it be like being in the human world?"
Nangong Wuyu thought to himself, Aunt Ning praised Sister Beishan so much in her letter. Although I don’t want to quarrel with her, I can’t undermine the name of the Nangong family. He thought in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Although this tea is good,
But it takes someone who understands tea to fully appreciate its flavor. Young Marshal, you know that this top-quality Biluochun can be sold for a hundred gold per catty of ordinary coarse tea in the Wei Dynasty, and one tael of silver can buy twenty or thirty catties. But these two kinds
Once tea is shipped to Nanyang or even to the big food countries, the price difference between the two becomes frighteningly small. The reason is simply that those people do not understand the real tea ceremony."
Yun Zheng was surprised: "How could such a thing happen?" Although he knew that Chinese tea leaves and tea bricks sold abroad were always huge profit products, but the specific situation was that he was blind. He didn't know that there were good tea and bad tea in those foreign countries.
You can understand it just by thinking about it. In this era, the Wei Dynasty is definitely the world's largest economy, and its culture is also much higher than that of Europe. As for the tea ceremony... Who in the world can compare with China's tea ceremony? Just those foreign countries who know how to drink
Tea is elegant, but it’s normal to not be able to tell the difference between good tea and bad tea.
Nangong Wuyu nodded and said: "Exactly, and precisely because of this, usually no merchant association's fleet will bring the best tea to the big food country for sale. At most, they will bring some middle-grade tea.
Tea is sold to those royal nobles or high-ranking officials and wealthy people."
She glanced at Yunzheng and Luo Qiwei and said, "I just took the liberty to interrupt the conversation between the three of them, but it was actually for this reason."
Yunzheng gave a questioning look, and Nangong Wuyu saw it, and continued: "Our Nanjiange fleet goes to Nanyang and Tianzhu every year, selling tens of thousands of catties of food, and tea is relatively expensive in those places.
, so the value of the fleet is very high, and it is easy to encounter pirates, so we formed a fleet of escort warships to escort our fleet. However, due to limited scale, we can only guarantee our safety from Guangzhou to Dashi.
However, it is much more cost-effective to transport this tea from Jiangsu to Guangzhou by sea than by land. Therefore, on this section of the route, we have no choice but to ask the Haisha Gang to escort us. Unexpectedly, the Haisha Gang had some troubles some time ago and could not spare any manpower.
Escort, so that our fleet delivering tea bricks is still stranded in Jiangsu and cannot go south, so..."
Yunzheng let out a long "Oh": "So that's it... That's just right. We'll solve this matter together today."
----------Separation line----------The computer always shuts down automatically for no apparent reason. What's the reason? The power supply and CPU fan are fine, and the memory module is also normal. It's really strange.
, it cost me 200 words to write. After writing these 4,000 words, I shut down my computer three times in the middle. I estimate that I lost 1,000 words and wrote 1,000 words. This is nothing. The key is that my train of thought was interrupted three times. It was really annoying.
