Chapter 5659
Lin Wan'er smiled and said: "It just so happens that Wan'er has the last piece of Pu'er tea cake left. She has never been willing to drink it. She is just waiting for the day when she can cook it with her own hands and give it to Brother Ye Chen to try. Brother Ye Chen, wait a moment!"
Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Miss Lin, don't go to such trouble, just give me a glass of water!"
Lin Wan'er stood up and said without looking back: "The tea cake Wan'er kept is the best Pu'er tea cake in the world. If brother Ye Chen doesn't try it, he will definitely regret it in the future!"
After saying that, Lin Wan'er added: "Besides, Wan'er will start talking about everything that brother Ye Chen is curious about starting from that piece of tea cake."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Chen to respond, she quickly went to get her complete tea set and the Pu'er tea cake that she had always treasured.
Returning to the bed, Lin Wan'er carefully lit the charcoal made from olives in the copper stove. Then, while the water was boiling, she took apart the ancient Pu'er tea cake and used a delicate Pu'er tea knife to pry open one piece.
.
The moment the tea leaves were unpacked, Ye Chen smelled a special tea aroma that he had never experienced before.
The aroma of this tea is very rich and mellow, and after a long period of fermentation and storage, the smell of the tea cake itself also has an ancient flavor that is difficult to describe in words, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Ye Chen has watched his father drink tea since he was a child, and he can occasionally drink a cup and a half of it, so he is quite knowledgeable about tea. However, he has never seen such a special tea. It is not an exaggeration to say that in this area,
In front of Pu'er tea cakes, all Pu'er teas pale in color!
Lin Wan'er elegantly boiled water to make tea. After the tea leaves entered the water, they quickly dispersed when encountering high temperatures. A richer tea aroma immediately hit his nose, making Ye Chen feel that his mind was sobered by the aroma of tea.
Immediately, Lin Wan'er poured the brewed tea into a small Jianzhan cup, then handed the clear tea soup to Ye Chen, and said with a smile: "Brother Ye Chen, try it."
Ye Chen took the cup, put it under his nose, smelled it gently, and then took a sip. The taste of the tea was extremely rich and sweet. The perfect combination of smell and taste made Ye Chen's eyes widen in shock.
He couldn't help but sigh: "This tea is so perfect. It definitely exceeds all my knowledge of Pu'er tea. I dare to ask Miss Lin, where did such good tea come from?"
Lin Wan'er said with a smile: "Brother Ye Chen, this cake tea was made three hundred years ago from the tea leaves of an ancient Pu'er tea tree called the mother of Pu'er tea. It is the mother plant of all Pu'er tea.
All the Pu'er tea in the world is bred from it. It was the earliest tea grower who kept breaking off its branches and taking them to various places for recultivation and planting. This is how Pu'er tea was later sold all over the country."
Ye Chen exclaimed: "This tea is really three hundred years old?"
Lin Wan'er nodded: "It's absolutely true, but this tree was struck by lightning three hundred years ago and turned into charcoal. What Brother Ye Chen is drinking now is the last cake of tea it produced in its last year. This
After drinking the cake and tea, the world will no longer taste like this."
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Did the tea seller tell you this story?"
"No." Lin Wan'er shook her head slightly, turned around, took out a small package, and carefully opened it. Inside, there was a piece of historic lightning strike wood!
Lin Wan'er took out the lightning-struck wood and said quietly: "Anything that lives for a long time will have its fate. People who practice Taoism are no exception, and this tree is no exception. It has lived for tens of thousands of years and has given birth to countless tea plants, but
It also has its own tribulations to overcome, and this is what it will look like after it fails to overcome the tribulations."
Ye Chen asked doubtfully: "Why do you know so clearly?"
Lin Wan'er glanced at Ye Chen, then looked down at the piece of lightning strike wood in her hand, her expression seemed to be struggling.
After a moment, she raised her head, met Ye Chen's gaze with her clear eyes, opened her red lips and said: "Because... three hundred years ago, the Nu family stood by the Tianchi in southern Yunnan.
