Chapter 77 Fairy Cave Tea Tasting
In the downtown and places where residents gather in Bianjing City, Panlou Street and Mahang Street, where vendors are concentrated, teahouses are the most prosperous; all kinds of teahouses are one after another, Panlou East Street and Lane Cross Street: there are five lights of lights every day, and morning tea for buying and selling clothes, pictures, wreaths, collars and other businesses are scattered at dawn, which is called a ghost market;
The two people next to the king walked on Maxing Street, looking at the lanes and alleys, each with its own teahouse hotel. These are different from the teahouses that Wang and others usually go to, just like the tea hotel. In fact, it does not sell tea, but mainly sells wine, and also serves rice and side dishes.
In addition, there is a water tea shop, which is a prostitute to set up tables and stools. On the grounds of tea, later generations are willing to spend money, which is called dry tea money. This is equivalent to drinking tea and chatting with him. Wang can't help but think of the words he sometimes joked in his previous life: "Talk about ten yuan." Probably these are those who sell art and don't sell themselves, otherwise how can there be a flower tea shop?
This flower teahouse: There are three or five teahouses on the street, and there are prostitutes upstairs, which are called flower teahouses. For example, Nanpan Jiegan and Yu Qilang Tea House in Xifang, Zhu Skeleton Tea House in the north of Baoyoufang, Guo Silang Tea House in Taiping Square, and the first seven-phase teahouse in the north of Taipingfang. There are many speculations in these five places, and it is not a place for gentlemen to stop.
This Tokyo Bianliang, Sangu still has a night market. All industries are distributed in various markets, and transactions are often tens of thousands or tens of millions. In a noisy place, transactions are endless all night long.
Merchants gather together and require places for rest, banquets and entertainment, so restaurants, restaurants and brothels are everywhere. And the teahouse also took the opportunity to rise and become one of them. Naturally, you don't have to drink a cup of tea and leave in the teahouse. After drinking for a few hours, you can combine clear talk, trading, playing and singing, and the tea communication is even more concentrated.
There are big merchants in the big teahouse, and ordinary merchants and ordinary citizens in the small teahouse.
If the little brothers next to the king say to drink tea on weekdays, they will naturally not go to the Shijing teahouse. The place they go must be elegantly decorated and go on a daily basis. The Huangjianzui Cuqiu tea shop next to Zhang's noodle shop, the street car tea shop, the will review the tea shop, and the Zhuangyuan Building are all placed in the room with flower racks and four-hour flowers, settled with strange pine cypress, hanging the name. Character painting; the environment also needs a quiet and elegant teahouse.
There is a place that already has a special feature "Wang's mother's tea shop is a cave ghost tea shop". Don't look at the name strange, but it has a origin: this strange tea shop name is unknown to be compiled by the city book club in the Song Dynasty. It is said that a Wang Po led to a strange ghost story for a teacher Professor Wu, and then there was a tea shop. The name is advertised, which gives people a sensational strange name. Although they are all places where scholars and doctors meet with friends, the name is not elegant.
The two brothers next to the king came to the Immortal Cave. For more than a year, the king was out of town. I don't know when Bianjing opened such a tea shop. I didn't know until I walked there that Xianren Cave is not the name of the teahouse, but the characteristic is famous. This place is on Caomen Street, and the teahouse has its own name
"Beishanzi Tea House".
When you enter the teahouse, you can see that unlike other teahouses, there are few famous paintings in it. It is an inner beautiful pool, an artificial pool in the workshop, a small bridge with flowing water, and rockery and stone decorations, just like a fairy bridge in a fairy cave. The seat seats are made of non-precious wood, but all kinds of tree stumps, taller and thicker into coffee tables, and short prototypes are processed into tea stools.
Looking at this theme design alone, it is not inferior to the theme teahouse after thousands of years. If you drink tea here, it would be more interesting. The shopkeeper is more ingenious. Except for the tea doctor who comes to order tea for the guests, the prostitutes in the teahouse are all women with light makeup. Unlike other teahouses, they have more elegant temperament.
"Haha, how did you find such an elegant local?" The king praised it.
"Haha" Yuan Ze also smiled: "Don't look at the "official way" (Note 1) brothers are proficient, but this tea ceremony is still a little bit."
No wonder the twin brothers are connected with each other. What Yuan Ze thinks is exactly what Wang is worried about today. Seeing that Zhong Pin hadn't arrived yet, Yuan Ze called Dr. Tea and ordered the tea. Looking at Dr. Tea ordering tea, Yuan Ze asked Wang, "If you have ever heard of 'Tang Fried Song Dian'?"
Wang Pian Zao was not used to returning to the Song Dynasty to drink tea, but he followed the customs when he entered the countryside, and he was worried all the way, and there were no partners such as Yuanze and Zhongzhen. He rarely mentioned these at ordinary times.
No wonder Yuan Ze likes Liu Qi, who is also a child with an old face. This does not mean that Yuan Ze looks old, but a calm appearance at a young age. He speaks politely and slowly, and his voice is not like a generous female beside the king, but like a teaching scholar. See what he said
"If you say that among the previous generation, you must visit Lord Cai when you go to Jianzhou. That's a person in the tea ceremony. If you observe the taste, you can say the name of the tea and the grade. Among you and me in the same generation, Su Zizhan is tasting tea, and you can only say a few things in front of you."
The king nodded. Su Zizhan can be said to be the gentleman of the young generation. He is full of poems, books, wine tasting and tea, and he is also romantic. When I found the ancient and modern stone, before I left, I took Su Zizhan back to modern times to see what he could do. Wang thought so, and his heart was funny, but he still focused on listening to Wang's story:
Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" says: "Tea is for drinking, and it comes from Shennong. The ancient life chewed tea; it turned into a frying. After washing the fresh leaves, add water to the clay pot and boil them, and take them with the soup and leaves. Although the fried tea is bitter and astringent, it has a rich taste, and the flavor and effect are better than a few. In the future, tea will be used as a dish and boiled as a soup. After the tea is cooked, it is eaten with the food. Boil tea with osmanthus ginger and some spices
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, fresh leaves were pounded into cake-shaped tea balls with wooden sticks, and then dried or dried for storage. When drinking, first mash the tea balls into a pot, pour boiling water and add green onion, ginger and oranges for seasoning.
Wang listened with relish. If you use the ancient stone king, you can also know the ancient story of tea, but it must not be as vivid as Yuan Ze said. "How are you two." Hearing someone talking behind him, he turned his head and saw that the needle had arrived,
Zhongpin removes the cloak and light green robe. Zhongpin's face is very white. After a year or two, he is already half a young man. The little brother is about three years old, and Zhong Pin is slightly one or two years younger than the two of them next to the king. But the worldly wisdom is deeper than that of the little brothers, which is probably often in and out of the palace.
"Zhong Jian, it's just the right time to come. I was about to talk about 'Tang fried Song Dian'," Yuan Ze said. Zhong Jian sat down when he heard the words.
At this time, Dr. Tea is making a spoonful of tea, and the soup is extremely even. Add another injection, hit back, and the soup on the soup can be stopped by four points. God's face is bright and white, and it's better to have no water marks. Put the sifted tea into the tea cup, pour a small amount of boiling water, stir it evenly, then inject boiling water, and hit it repeatedly with a bamboo tea pot to produce foam (called soup flower), so that the best state is to leave no water marks on the edge wall of the tea cup.
When the three of them saw that the tea had been ordered, they raised a glass to signal, and then tasted it slowly. The fragrance of the tea was clear and refreshing, the sweet and mellow tea taste and the clear tea soup, and they could appreciate the natural color and fragrance of the tea.
Zhongzhen smiled and said, "It seems that I came at the right time. This tea is good tea, but I didn't know that there is such good tea here."
Dr. Cha said with a smile, "The three young masters are all distinguished guests. This is the best dragon and phoenix ball tea with two taels of silver and one taels of silver. Three young masters, use it slowly. With that, he retreated.
These three rich people, who can see these two taels of silver? If the ordinary people had been stunned, Wang knew that this was probably their half-month ration in the Yu Danian of Jincheng. If they see it, they will be heartbroken.
But I heard that Yuanze said: In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, tea was mostly processed into cake tea. When drinking, add seasonings to cook soup. In order to improve the bitter taste of tea, start to add mint, salt and red dates for seasoning. Flowers include coarse tea, loose tea, minced tea, and cake tea. They are boiled, boiled, and scooped. They are stocked in a bottle, and the soup is fertile, which is called castrated tea.
In the Song Dynasty, tea ordering was popular. The procedure for ordering tea is to roast tea, glutinous rice, baking cup, waiting for soup, brushing, and cooking. The key is waiting for soup and brushing. First, bake the cake and tea, then crush it into fine powder, and sift the tea finely with tea. "The tea is floating, and if it is coarse, it will float."
The step of cooking tea is to put the tea into the cup, pour a small amount of boiling water into a paste, which is called "paste", then pour the boiling water into the deep-bellied long-mouth bottle, then pour the bottle into the cup, or fry the water in the bottle, and then directly pour boiling water into the cup. At the same time, stir it with a tea, and the tea powder floats to form a porridge.
Wang Yuanze pointed to the tea in the tea cup and said, "Dr. Tea just ordered tea." After that, he took a sip.
Zhong Chen smiled and said, "One person tasting tea is divine, two people are interesting, three people are delicious, and seven or eight people are famous for tea. Today, you and I are tasting tea and talking about tea. If you don't have a brother, can you be comfortable?"
Of course, Wang is comfortable. It's rare to calm down and listen to this tea. In such an elegant environment, I still chat with Song Shenzong who doesn't know the future. Not only is he really comfortable to go to the fairy cave and want to become an immortal.
Zhong Pin continued, "Do you know that the emperor is still in the tea shop today?" The two people next to the king listened attentively to what Zhong Cin said about tea.
Zhao Xu, a scholar from Sichuan, rushed to Beijing to take the exam. After Song Renzong's personal examination, he failed and was exiled in the inn. One day, Renzong went to the Zhuangyuanfang tea shop and saw two Zhao Xu's lyrics on the wall. Thinking of the former reason, he asked the eunuch to find Zhao Xu and give him an interview, so he made a move to correct the error and promotion. Zhao Xu was appointed as a new system in Chengdu.
"Oh? It turns out that Emperor Renzong also did this white dragon fish suit? The king asked in surprise.
Zhong Pin smiled and said, "All Ming emperors have done this. What's wrong with this?"
Wang asked Zhong in a low voice, "If it were you, would you be the same?"
"That's natural," Zhong Pin did not shy away and whispered, "If I were you, I would definitely find an opportunity to walk around. Maybe I'll let my brother accompany me." After saying that, he laughed.
Yuan Ze said with a smile, "Zhong Pin is so naughty." He turned his head and asked the king, "If there is no, I haven't heard your fantasy story for a long time. Is there a tea there?"
Wang thought about it, which was troublesome to say, so he simply said, "It's not much, but it's different from the current tea. When I come back from Jianzhou, I will definitely change this way of drinking tea."
