232 The Way of Tea

[Continue to ask for votes, and there will be more to repay the debt today]

Wu Zhao stood in front of Li Yuanxing, with his back to Li Yuanxing.

The last thing that was lifted up was a simple platform, which looked very much like a smaller version of the high platform used for sacrifice. There were dark green cushions on it, and then there were several tables that were seven feet long and three feet wide.

A copper incense burner is placed in the upper left corner of the table, and then there are several bamboo tubes in the upper right corner. No one knows the tools in the bamboo tubes.

Wu Zhao understands tea, and her understanding is not shallow, but she cannot guarantee that she can do her best, so Li Lanshan's opinions and understanding, coupled with Wu Zhao's own, Wu Zhao believes that today can definitely shock the world.

The skirts and lapels were tied up with golden ropes.

Two first-class maids, Yingsun and Changyue, were kneeling on both sides of Wu Zhao.

Not to mention everyone in the hall was stunned, even the seven girls in the back hall all left their seats and looked close to the holes in the partition wall to watch everything that happened in the front hall.

A copper basin was delivered to Wu Zhao, and Wu Zhao washed his hands.

Then Yu pointed at the first box on the long table. Chang Yue stood up and went to get the wooden box, while Ying Zhan looked after the copper kettles on the two stoves.

Wu Zhao sat quietly, waiting for the water to boil.

Li Yuanxing also calmed down and sat on his chair behind Wu Zhao. What he wanted to promote was Tao.

During the Tang Dynasty, people drank tea by grinding it into powder and adding various seasonings, such as ginger, green onions, salt, and even mutton oil. I can’t say there is anything wrong with drinking it this way, but Li Yuanxing thought it was more like a grassland.

The barbarians and the Confucian tea drinkers also follow the same tea etiquette and have many rules.

But all this is not enough to spread to the world.

A copper kettle whistle sounded, indicating that the water was boiling. Wu Zhao opened his eyes and Yingzhan lifted the pot on the table. The copper kettle was extremely small, but Wu Zhao was afraid that it was too heavy to lift it.

When he reached out to pat the handle of the pot, a loud shout came from outside the door of the conference living room: "Get out of my way!"

I!

There were a few people in the Tang Dynasty who dared to call themselves me, so Li Yuanxing quickly stood up.

I saw Li Yuan striding in: "Wu Lang, what's interesting is that you didn't send an invitation to your father. Are you guilty of this?"

Knowing the crime, knowing the crime is nothing! As Li Yuanxing stepped forward to greet him, he asked Wu Zhao in a low voice: "What gift did you give me?"

Before Wu Zhaolai had time to answer, Li Yuan said first: "You two, don't collude in confession, I know everything. Next time something interesting happens like this, without my invitation, I will ask the Imperial Army to destroy your place!" Li Yuan

In a very high tone, he greeted Li Yuanxing with a big smile and patted Li Yuanxing on the shoulder: "In the New Year, the gifts should be better!"

There were hundreds of shrimps in the entire conference room, all bending down to welcome Li Yuan's arrival.

It wasn't until Li Yuan sat on the chair where Li Yuanxing was sitting that someone heard in the living room: "Your Majesty, Wan'an!"

"No more courtesy!"

Sitting down again, Li Yuanxing took a deep breath and sat upright.

Li Yuan came to Qin Wangzhuang because he was happy because he received a gift that made him ecstatic and made both Li and Li envious with their eyes turning green. So Li Yuan didn't even want a car and came with only a hundred knights on Pegasus.

Arrive at Qin Wangzhuang.

When he asked that Li Yuanxing was having a banquet, he refused to let him know and just barged in all the way.

Li Yuan was happy and would not cause trouble to Li Yuanxing. He also took a deep breath and sat upright.

Wu Zhao tested the temperature of the copper pot with his hand, pointed at the second wooden box on the third table with his finger, and said at the same time: "The water temperature is already a little low, and it is not suitable for the kind of tea just now."

While talking, Wu Zhao asked Yingzhan to quickly put aside the original tea tray on the table and replace it with four straight glass cups.

After opening the wooden box, Wu Zhao turned back and nodded at Li Yuanxing.

Li Yuanxing stood up: "This tea is called West Lake Longjing. It comes from the West Lake in Hangzhou. This tea has the 'four wonders': green color, fragrant aroma, sweet taste, and beautiful shape. The bright green color of Mingqian is the best of the best.

There is a poem praising: outside the courtyard, the lotus smiles in the wind, and the dragon well in the Ming Dynasty is red. There are five most suitable production areas beside the West Lake, namely: lion, dragon, cloud, tiger, and plum!"

After Li Yuanxing said a few words, the head of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Tea Business Association almost had a heart attack from excitement.

He knew about West Lake, which was picturesque, but he didn’t know the five types of places Li Yuanxing mentioned. The lion might be Lion Peak, and the tiger might be Tiger Spring. The other three places, he really couldn’t think of.

Already.

Wu Zhao stood up, picked out a little with a teaspoon and put it into the cups. There were tea leaves in all five cups.

Twenty maids came up from behind, each holding a tray. Yingzhan put a little tea in each small tray. One of the twenty maids came to Li Yuan, and one came to Cui Dunli. The rest

Eighteen people took the trays to various tea merchants.

This is a good tea that Li Yuanxing spent a huge sum of money to buy from Hyundai, and its natural appearance is first-class.

Chinese tea culture sprouted in the Tang Dynasty, developed greatly in the Zong Dynasty, flourished in the Ming Dynasty, but reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. Li Yuanxing did not like the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Zhao did the same. So Wu Zhao used the tea art of the Ming Dynasty combined with modern tea culture

Way.

"Phoenix... head!" Wu Zhao called softly, but his delicate voice was full of nobility.

He raised the copper pot high in his hand and poured water into the cup three times. The flower activities that green tea can do are far less than those of Tieguanyin, black tea, Pu'er, etc. But Wu Zhao did an excellent job.

The green tea juice filled the entire glass, and the tea leaves were suspended in the cup.

In terms of shape, color, and the faint aroma of tea, it is unparalleled!

Many people couldn't help but left their seats and stood up, even Li Yuan was no exception, what a beautiful tea!

Li Yuanxing put a cup in front of Li Yuan with his own hands: "Father, please taste it first!"

Li Yuan was a military general, but he was a nobleman for generations, not a barbarian as the Seventh Family said. He understood tea, but he couldn't understand what Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao were doing now.

But this tea should only be found in heaven.

Li Yuanxing signaled the maid to send out the other four cups. Naturally, one cup must be placed in front of Cui Sheli. A third-grade official is naturally qualified to enjoy it exclusively. Li Yuanxing also said: "This tea is divided into five types according to its origin and five types according to its grade.

Classified into eighteen categories, I believe that you will definitely give this tea a better and more certain classification."

The Tea Traders Association was busy talking with their eyes fixed on the cup.

"This cup, I think the lion is the best, the lotus heart is the best, and it comes from the time before Ming Dynasty. But Princess Mingyue thinks that the flag gun is the best, so she chose the flag gun."

While Li Yuanxing was talking, he asked someone to bring up the stove, which had a large copper pot on it.

"This tea is not suitable for boiling water. Later, you can recommend a few tea experts to appreciate it with me!"

Li Yuan squinted his eyes, and after enjoying the bitterness and fragrance of the tea, a sweetness appeared in his mouth. The taste was really good. Cui Dunli praised: "After all the hardships, sweetness comes, it is really the way! Tea ceremony!" Confucian Cui Shuli, only one cup

, I thought that this tea and this way were indeed as the King of Qin said, tea can cultivate the body and calm the mind!

The seven girls in the back hall could not help but think about asking for a cup of tea with Li Yuanxing. They were even more uneasy when they heard Cui Sheli's comments.

However, there are all businessmen outside, and it is impossible for them to go out in their status.

At this time, Li Yuanxing turned around and held down a wooden box with his hand.

"Girl, here's a gorgeous one." Li Yuanxing was also a little excited.

The three cups of tea given to the tea merchant were divided into dozens of small cups. Those who were qualified to taste them were not only at the level of a master, but also at the level of a big shopkeeper or an experienced tea master.

"Wuyi Mountain Grade Dahongpao." Li Yuanxing chose a tea.

But Wu Zhao pouted: "No, I'll make a mistake first!"

Li Yuanxing was restrained. Only Wu Zhao in Qin Wangzhuang dared to talk back. Li Yuanxing lowered his voice: "Girl, Dongting Oolong is produced overseas. Even if you want this tea, you won't be able to have it in a few years!"

Wu Zhao's voice was loud: "Dahongpao grows on a cliff, out of reach of humans. Monkeys are trained to pick it. Do you want such dangerous tea? You will never let a tea farmer die for drinking tea!"

When Wu Zhao stood up to Li Yuanxing, the conference room had already quieted down, and everyone could hear Wu Zhao's voice clearly.

Wuyi Mountain is in what is now Fujian Province.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were already five states. The Tea Business Association followed the ancient name and was named Vietnam Tea Business Association. Internally, it was divided into two sub-business associations, East Vietnam and South Vietnam according to the region. It can be said that in terms of the scale of the Tea Business Association,

It is smaller than the Bashu Tea Business Association, and they don’t even have a store on the Commercial Association Street Huan Road.

After hearing Wu Zhao's words, more than a dozen people, old and young, rushed out with a roar, and they all knelt down.

The leader of the guild said loudly: "We are willing to risk the lives of our entire family to pick this red robe for the Holy Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, and His Highness the King of Qin, even if we die!"

The words are true!

Li Yuanxing did not doubt his words, these people would really go to great lengths. Whether it was to give to the palace as a tribute or to achieve the good name of his Vietnam Tea Business Association, it was worth going to great lengths.

"That's it!" Li Yuanxing waved his hand and said to Wu Zhao: "Choose Anxi Qingwu!"

"Okay!" Wu Zhao nodded and pointed to the sixth wooden box on the second table. This Qingwu is actually Tieguanyin. In ancient times, green tea turned into oolong tea, a semi-fermented tea. It's just the word Guanyin that Li Yuanxing is

I will never mention it, because it is the name of Buddhism. When Li Yuanxing wants to promote Taoism, he will never use the word Tieguanyin.

If we talk about gorgeousness, Kung Fu Tea is gorgeous enough.

The Kung Fu tea utensils used by Wu Zhao were also luxurious enough, and they were made of high-quality purple clay. At this time, there were no purple clay teapots in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuanxing's set is considered a treasure even in modern times.

One teapot, one teacup, six teacups, six lidded bowls, six tea trays, six tea mats, one tea wash, one sand hammer, one feather fan, one copper stove, and one fire chopsticks.

Bamboo charcoal fire is used in the stove.

In fact, a large furnace naturally boils water faster, but since it requires a sense of splendor and taste, a large coal furnace naturally loses its status.

The water is mountain spring water. Use a small stove and a small pot. The process of waiting for the water to boil is also a process of calming the mind. It is also the Tao! It is also a very important link in the tea art. (To be continued. Please search
