Chapter 47 Stimulation
Liu Yifu blew the truth to the sky, which shocked Wei Wen. At the same time, it also made him determined to go back and study the tea ceremony again. After listening to Liu Yifu's words, he
I realized that drinking tea is not just about improving the taste, it can carry a lot of spirit, and there is indeed a lot of knowledge in it.
That's right, as a tea lover, Wei Wen also doesn't like the aniseed tea prepared by many people in this era.
Wei Wen also carried forward the tradition of being sensitive and eager to learn without being ashamed to ask questions. He quickly asked where these theoretical books came from. Seeing that he still wanted to have sex for nothing, Liu Yifu looked at him speechlessly. There was really nothing he could do. He wanted the other party to
There is no way to do it for free, these are all theories of later generations, so Liu Yifu said that it was an immortal who taught him the tea ceremony in his dream, and then asked himself to pass on these theories.
Wei Wen didn't ask any further questions about such remarks, which were obviously excuses. He didn't believe in them. He respected ghosts and gods and stayed away from them, and he didn't talk about those with strange powers. But in this era, there are many people who believe in them. Since the other party doesn't
If you are willing to talk more, then I will ask the great scholars I know and ask them where these remarks come from. If not, I will drag them to check each other. Wei Wen is very confident that they will have some opinions when they hear this kind of holy words.
If you are interested, you will even spontaneously mobilize your own connections to verify it. "He who hears the Tao in the morning will die in the evening" is not a general statement. The great Confucian scholars in this world also regard this as one of the principles for their studies.
Thinking of this, Wei Wen thought of the collection of books in the home of a certain wealthy dog owner, which almost blinded his titanium alloy dog eyes, and he suddenly became aggrieved.
Then Wei Wen was a little worried again. The theories about tea mentioned by Liu Yifu had never been heard of by him who was good at this. Although those wealthy people usually collected many volumes of books, they hid them very tightly one by one and guarded each book.
He's almost like a miser, but I don't know if there are any relevant books that record Liu Yifu's remarks.
Although the circulation of paper in the Wei, Jin, North and South has greatly reduced the cost of book dissemination, the circulation of books has been greatly improved compared to the Qin and Han Dynasties with bamboo slips. In Liu Yifu's eyes, the circulation of books at this time was still not smooth enough.
.
After all, printing, one of the four great inventions, has not yet come out. In addition, aristocratic families treasure their own books. Generally, educated people have many books at home, but rarely share them with the world. You can say that they have a monopoly on knowledge, and a scholarly family, the same
, the inconvenience of dissemination has also become a huge obstacle. Nowadays, if you want to disseminate books, you can only hand-copy them manually. As a result, the cost of books is still very high.
However, there seems to be a large-scale bookstore near Zhuque Dahang, and all kinds of not-so-precious books can be purchased there. Precious books are naturally collected by the nobles who Wei Wen calls wealthy families.
Just like a dragon guarding a treasure of gold coins, anyone who gets close to it without your permission will be attacked head-on.
If you want to take a look at the books in their home, you have to borrow them. There is another way to go to the Secretariat. As the Royal Library, the Secretariat has a collection that is unmatched by any noble family. The latter has no status and is even less qualified to enter.
Wei Wen was quite a face-saving person. Originally, he was planning to ask where these theories came from, but Liu Yifu stalled him and made him feel quite depressed.
He was also seeking changes in today's tea ceremony, but the difference between his ideas and Liu Yifu's method of making tea was that Wei Wen still failed to break out of the rut of making tea. What he envisioned was to create a method that could be used to make tea.
The taste is in line with the taste that most people can accept, and this taste can also retain the original taste of tea to a great extent.
Because he believes that the taste of tea itself is enough to be memorable, but it needs to be neutralized by other flavors.
Liu Yifu feels that his idea is not very innovative. It is just a change from "heavy flavored dark cooking tea" to "light heavy flavoring dark cooking tea". If he really thought of making tea directly from making tea, Liu Yi
Fu probably would also give a secret code of "The king of heaven covers the tiger of the earth" to test whether he is also a fellow from the future generations.
When Liu Yifu heard about Wei Wen's idea, he scorned the improvement. Not to mention the fact that taste itself is difficult to adjust, but in hindsight, tea ceremony has developed for more than 1,100 years since the Tang Dynasty, and it has become so mature in later generations.
Some people don't like the taste of tea, and everyone's measurement of tea and condiments is different. The shadow of personality is too strong. Even if one or two people make tea with aniseed that suits their taste, it will still be delicious.
, but it was developed by an individual after all, and something without commonality and empathy cannot be disseminated to the public. Therefore, Liu Yifu can conclude that making aniseed tea will be eliminated by the people. Making tea is just because you can’t find tea leaves.
The correct opening method exists as a transitional method for making tea.
Of course, Liu Yifu would not say that. He only said that my method is a relic from ancient times, and it is definitely the best. I am not talking about your kind of tea making, and I am not targeting those of you who make tea. Everyone counts.
It's all rubbish.
Of course, the statement is a bit rude. In Liu Yifu's opinion, the tea you drink is worse than being given to beasts. Of course, it is not such an exaggerated derogation. The nine-pound old lady in Brother Xun's works can still be euphemistic.
It is said that one generation is inferior to the other, so naturally you can't exaggerate yourself too much, belittle the other party too harshly, just arouse the other party's curiosity and unwillingness to admit defeat. Of course, it would be perfect if you can successfully slap them in the face in the end.
This is roughly what Mr. Liu meant. In the end, he did successfully arouse Wei Wen's competitive spirit. How could Wei Wen, who already boasted that he was good at tea, accept it? He immediately put on his posture and prepared the pot to heat up.
He went to fry tea himself. Mr. Liu was happy to see the result and quickly gave some pointers on how to fry tea. It was free labor, so if you don’t use it, it would be in vain.
In fact, to be honest, Liu Yifu does not mean that he really underestimates tea making. Tea ordering in the Song Dynasty is the pinnacle of tea ceremony, and it has a lot of merits. At least for those who influence the circle around China, tea culture is still
It is a sharp tool, otherwise it would not spread the word about Japan. It immediately became popular all over the country and evolved into the Japanese matcha tea ceremony culture.
From a utilitarian point of view, if I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to develop the tea-making ceremony. Making tea and brewing tea in parallel is more in line with the national conditions, but now I don’t have that much thought and influence to promote it.
And Liu Yifu's "humiliation" of the other party's tea ceremony only made Wei Wen feel the great advantages of brewing tea in anger, so he bowed down in shame, crawled under the banner of tea brewing, and became a lackey.
The ultimate reversal and slap in the face... well, it's just like the plot of a novel. It's too far-fetched and not that exaggerated.
To be honest, this was just a little bit of bad taste that Liu Yifu wanted to see the other party shocked at the end.
Although Liu Yifu has never tasted how delicious the tea ordered in the Song Dynasty was, he can say with absolute certainty that the tea made in this era is a piece of shit nowadays.
Especially after drinking the brewed tea, there is no comparison with the tea here. The tea leaves are fresh and mellow, sweet and refreshing, and there is also a light bitter taste left in the mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
The lingering fragrance lingers in my mouth, oh, I really miss it.
Reality is a slap in the face. What are you dreaming about? There is no joy in drinking tea. There is only the taste of salt and aniseed. It is like drinking fake tea. You are worthy of us who use our hard-earned money to buy your tea.
Damn you, I'm so annoying, I'll give you my money back!
We know that good salt and spices are very expensive at this time, but you can't taste the tea at all. If Liu Yifu said this, Wei Wen would definitely refute it. If you don't add aniseed or salt, it won't work.
If you add other flavors, does the grassy taste taste good? If you like the taste of nature, why don't you imitate the rabbit eating grass?
Well, after all is said and done, the problem is still unresolved. In order to avoid the destruction of dark cooking tea in the future, it is imperative to stir-fry tea.
