Chapter 271 Princess Fried Tea
I never would have thought that I would meet an ancient person.
Moreover, she was also the princess of Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty.
I listened to Qingdai's somewhat sad voice.
Although it was very shocking in my heart.
But you can also feel her sadness from her tone.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
Qingdai smiled:
"Okay, let's go to the pavilion!
You made offerings to me last time, this time I will make you a pot of tea."
He seemed to be laughing as he spoke.
I nodded:
"OK!"
Being able to have the princess of the Western Han Dynasty make tea is not something that everyone can enjoy.
I came to this pavilion.
There is a small stone table in the pavilion with tea sets on it.
The Luang Phor who followed us is now standing outside the pavilion.
He just stood there quietly without moving.
Qingdai motioned for me to sit down first, and she fiddled with the tea set herself.
There is also an iron shelf like a stove.
After a while, a white paper man came over with a box of tea leaves.
Luang Po took the tea box and handed it to Qing Dai:
"Miss!"
Qingdai nodded.
He took the tea box and said to me:
"These are wild teas from the mountains.
Although it’s not tea, it still tastes good.”
After saying that, he placed a porcelain bowl and utensil on the iron shelf that looked like a stove.
Then use your hands a little bit.
In an instant, a dark green flame, like a will-o'-the-wisp, burned directly under the stove.
Qingdai picked up another wooden spoon and began to stir-fry the tea leaves in the ceramic vessel.
I looked a little confused.
Is this making tea or cooking?
Qingdai looked at me a little confused and suddenly smiled:
"This was the way to drink tea in my time, it was called fried tea."
Listen to Qing Dai say this.
Only then did I understand.
It turns out that this was the way people drank tea in the Han Dynasty.
It's called "fried tea", which is different from the tea we make now.
Been taught a lesson.
"Oh! This is my first time seeing you."
I smiled and spoke.
After all, our Chinese civilization has a long history, and this way of drinking tea has been passed down for thousands of years.
Since it has been passed down to this day, many ancient methods have naturally been forgotten in the eyes of the world.
While Qingdai was making tea, she was telling me about the way people in the Han Dynasty steamed and cooked tea.
As I was talking, Qingdai suddenly looked at me.
He said to me:
"In the past, that person liked to drink the tea I fried."
When I heard "that person", my heart skipped a beat.
"That person" Qingdai talks about may be the man she is waiting for!
That man is really lucky.
He can make an infatuated woman wait for him for two thousand years.
I smiled:
"That man's life is so good that you can wait for him for so long.
But I think he will show up soon."
Although I said this with a smile, I felt a little strange in my heart.
Qingdai still looked at me, her eyes unblinking, and replied lightly:
"I think, yes."
After saying that, he lifted the kettle next to him.
In a blink of an eye, he noticed bursts of steam coming out of the kettle.
It's boiling.
This way of doing things and this ability are really beyond my reach now.
Then, Qingdai poured the boiling water into the boiling ceramic vessel.
By stirring.
In this way, the tea is ready...
She poured me a small bowl and handed it to me:
"Try it too!"
I don’t drink tea on weekdays. If I do, I drink iced black tea bought in the supermarket.
Now let me taste the tea, I'm still a little nervous.
I held it in my hand, smelled it, blew on it, and took a sip of tea.
I found this tea has a very strong aroma.
It feels better than any tea I've had before.
"This tea is delicious!"
I didn’t know how to describe it, so I just said this.
Qingdai smiled:
"You like it too?"
"Well, I don't drink tea on weekdays.
But the tea you made is really good.
The tea has a strong aroma and is not astringent in taste.
Anyway, it tastes very smooth..."
I spoke truthfully and told me how I felt about the tea.
But if you ask me to tell you what kind of tea this is, I have no idea at all.
Qingdai looked very happy after hearing what I said:
"This is wild tea from the mountains. If it is a famous tea, it should taste better.
Drink more if you like.
These tea leaves are all specially made by me.
The tea is also made from dew collected from the mountains.
When people drink it, it can calm their minds and help them fall asleep."
I took a closer look at the tea in my hand. This tea was actually made from dew.
No wonder it tastes so smooth when drunk.
As for whether it can calm the mind and help you sleep peacefully, that's not the case.
I didn’t suffer from insomnia anyway.
After drinking the tea, put down the tea bowl.
She spoke to Qingdai again:
"Qing Dai, after you passed away, have you been with Luang Po in these years?"
As I said that, I glanced at Luang Phor who was standing outside the pavilion.
Luang Phor was smiling and motionless.
Qingdai shook her head:
"No, Luang Phor was originally an innocent soul underwater.
Three hundred years ago, I saved her.
She just followed me and has always been by my side, unwilling to reincarnate."
Hearing this, I nodded slightly.
I didn’t expect that this Long Phor had such an origin.
And after Qingdai said this, she said to me again:
"Lang Po has been with me and taken care of me all these years.
Otherwise, I might be killed by them many times..."
