Chapter 330: Mengding Manna

Cang Xilin said, casually finding a stool and sitting down, "It's better to go to the Buddhist hall. The windows are so bright and clean, and the dust has been wiped away."

"But Huineng of the Six Clans said: 'Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust.'" Bai Yuyue said quietly.

"Later, the Fifth Patriarch Hongren also passed the mantle to him instead of Shenxiu."

Cang Xilin raised her eyebrows: "You are so brave!"

Bai Yuyue also knelt down in cooperation: "I made a mistake! I deserve to die!"

Cang Xilin sat leaning on the back of the chair like a man, and said condescendingly: "You deserve to die. If you want to atone for your sins, make me a pot of good tea!"

Bai Yuyue was stunned.

After working on it for a long time, I came here to ask for some tea.

When the warm tea washed away the chill of the night, Cang Xilin squinted and watched the dense aroma emerge from the pot.

And her face was hidden behind the curling mist, faintly visible.

As he watched, his eyes became a little hazy.

A pair of white and slender hands held a bowl of fragrant tea, breaking away the thin mist.

Suddenly he was shocked to see Bai Yuyue bringing tea to him.

She has fair skin, a small face, a pointed chin, and her black eyes are covered with fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

I took the tea and took a sip. The aroma of the tea slid into my mouth along with the warm water and floated into my heart.

Many days of boredom are gone in an instant.

"This tea seems to be more fragrant than last time." Cang Xilin said.

"The tea last time was 'Lu'an Guapian'1, which is the tea that the Queen Mother likes." Bai Yuyue answered while pouring tea, "And this time, the tea is 'Mengding Manna'2." Bai Juyi said in "Qin"

In the poem "Tea", it is written: "The only knowledge in Qinli is "Lushui", and the old name in tea is Mengshan." It is this kind of tea. Mengding nectar is tender green and oily in color, and the soup is yellow and blue, clear and bright.

; The fragrance is high and refreshing, and the taste is mellow and sweet.”

1. Lu'an tea began in the Qin and Han Dynasties. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the tea production was very abundant. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a history of three hundred years of tribute tea.

2. Mengding tea is produced in Sichuan Province. It is said that it began in the late Western Han Dynasty and was called fairy tea at that time. In the "National History Supplement" of the Tang Dynasty, Mengding tea was ranked first among yellow teas.
