(Happy National Day, Happy National Day, first send a 4,000 chapter, of course, the new month has begun, what recommended tickets and monthly passes and the like are smashed over?)
） "If you look at the high-priced teas now, the descriptions on the packaging, they will almost always make up a wonderful legend to tout the tea.
What Da Hong Pao, Tieguanyin, Longjing and the like, there are cultural allusions about this tea behind them.
Xiao Peng said.
And it is by hyping up the cultural value of the merchants to sell high prices. ” Di Wei took out a cigarette and divided it around: "Brother Peng, anyway, we are idle, can you tell us about it?"
” Xiao Peng signaled that he still had a cigarette in his hand, refused Di Wei's cigarette, and continued: "Let's just say Tieguanyin, the legend is that it is a scholar surnamed Wei, who participated in the imperial examination for many years, but the result was that he couldn't pass the exam, and one night he dreamed that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave him a dream, telling him that if he wanted to be admitted, he would accumulate virtue and do good, and let him plant trees!"
After he woke up, this was Guanyin's dream, and he paid great attention to it, so he went to the mountain to find a tree.
I found a sapling on the cliff and dug it up.
When I got it back, there was no place to plant it, and when I saw a broken iron pot next to it, I planted the sapling in the iron pot.
Later, the scholar surnamed Wei really won the top prize!
And the sapling he planted in the iron pot also grew into a tea tree, he picked the tea leaves and tasted them, the taste was delicious, he wanted to name the tea, and thought about it, it was Guanyin dream, or the tea tree that grew up in the iron pot, well, just call him Tieguanyin. ” Di Wei was dumbfounded: "This legend is too far-fetched, will anyone believe it?"
” Xiao Peng smiled: "It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway." ” Di Wei and Cai Junwei said in unison: "I don't believe it either. ” Yang Meng spoke at this time: "You have to consider the times, in that feudal period, the more such a godly statement, the more people believe it." ” Xiao Peng snapped his fingers: "BGO!"
When making up stories, you must consider the background of the times, and now someone tells you that there is a Guanghan Palace on the moon, do you believe it?
But almost all of the ancients believed it.
These stories are all about the age.
Another example is Longjing tea, that is because when Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he ran to Hugong Temple in Hangzhou, and saw eighteen tea trees outside the temple, Qianlong saw the tea picker picking tea there, and he didn't know what the purpose of the tea picker was, whether it was to make an appointment with Qianlong or something, anyway, he gave him a handful of tea, he smelled it very fragrant, and put it in his pocket.
At this time, Jing Nei quickly came to report that the old queen mother had made a mistake in the harem and was dying.
Qianlong looked at it, this is terrible, hurry back to the capital, let's think, at that time from Hangzhou to Beijing, back and forth, when Qianlong returned to Beijing, it was two or three months since the old queen mother got sick, people's illness was almost cured, but the spirit was not good, seeing Qianlong come back, smelling a fragrance on his body, smelling very refreshing, hurriedly asked Qianlong what it smelled like.
Qianlong touched his pocket, it was the handful of tea sent by the tea picker in Hangzhou, the taste was quite fragrant, and he quickly soaked it for the old lady, saying that the old queen mother was refreshed when she drank it, and her illness would be cured.
Qianlong was happy, and the eighteen tea trees in front of Hugong Temple were sealed as imperial tea, and they paid tribute every year.
Longjing is also famous. ” Di Wei listened with relish: "Brother Peng, then this story should be true, right?"
” Xiao Peng smiled: "It's true that Longjing is an imperial tea, but this story, you can think about it with your heels and know that it is fake."
Do you think, this Qianlong returned to the capital from Hangzhou, and it will take more than a month to hurry up.
Could it be that it has been more than a month, and Qianlong has not changed his clothes?
Don't take a bath either?
Still have a fragrance on your body?
Don't talk about putting tea leaves on your body, putting coriander leaves can give you a smell!
If that's the case, I estimate that when the Queen Mother smells the smell of Qianlong, she can faint directly!
Such a story is made up with a nose and eyes, and it is still written on Baidu Encyclopedia, you go to the grave to burn newspapers------ deceive ghosts?
” Cai Junwei raised his hand first and surrendered: "Brother Peng, what you said is too graphic, I just ate so much mutton, I feel like I vomit it when you say this!"
Let's not mention that, okay?
By the way, why are they making up these stories?
” After listening to Cai Junwei's question, everyone also looked at Xiao Peng, and they also wanted to know the answer, Xiao Peng said: "In fact, these magical and moving legends, in the final analysis, are all about adding a layer of elegant aura to tea and increasing the cultural color of tea."
To hype the cultural value of tea like this, it is not only necessary to rely on these background stories, which are too low-level, but also rely on other means. ” "What else?"
Di Wei asked very face-savingly.
"Poor and exquisite!"
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "In the long-term development, tea has been endowed with a unique ritual connotation, the process of drinking tea alone should be divided into five parts, first brewed and then appreciated three smells, four drinks and five products, the choice of tea set should also be different from drinking tea, because drinking green tea focuses on the charm, so it is necessary to use a colorless glass without flowers and lids, or a glass without a lid for white porcelain, celadon, and blue and white porcelain, and the flower tea is heavy on the aroma, so it is necessary to use celadon and blue and white porcelain texture of the bowl to cover the cup, one is to maintain the aroma, and the other is because the flower tea has a light texture and is easy to float on the water.
The tea set with a lid also has a cleaning effect, so as not to drink a sip of jasmine; Drinking oolong tea is important in sipping, and choosing a purple clay pot is the best choice; White tea, black tea, and yellow tea are also all exquisite.
In the process of cooking tea, the etiquette of brewing tea is more complicated, and these cumbersome rituals often make tea drinkers feel at a loss. ” Di Wei was speechless at this moment: "Our Chinese tea ceremony, why did you become poor and exquisite in your mouth?"
Brother Peng, what you said is a bit excessive, right?
” "Is it over?"
Xiao Peng said with a look of surprise.
"You must first understand what tea is, our ancestors said, 'open the door seven things, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea', you think about it, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all necessary for life, so why is tea in these seven things?"
Xiao Peng said this, and everyone reacted: Yes, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all indispensable things in life, and they can be used for eating and drinking, but why is this tea also in it?
It's not that you can't live without tea.

Why is tea listed in the seven things to open the door and listed in daily necessities?
Looking at everyone's confused expressions, Xiao Peng explained: "The reason is very simple, tea was not a drink at the beginning, tea was used to eat at the beginning!"
Now go to Hangzhou there many restaurants still use tea to cook, what osmanthus tea bone, Biluo spring burnt white jade, Longjing shrimp, tea king pigeon, oh, and we Chinese can't afford to eat tea eggs and the like have maintained this tradition, you must know that in the past in the southern region of tea, this tea is used for soup, call this tea soup.
For example, Cai Junwei, you are a little choked when you eat mutton, pick up the bowl and drink some tea soup to digest it, tea is the earliest effect. ” "Then why has today, tea drinking, tea ceremony and tea culture become so elegant?"
Di Wei asked puzzled.
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "At that time, there were very few drinks in Chinese society, there was no Coca-Cola Sprite Fanta, except that wine was water, and tea leaves appeared between water and wine.
No matter what it is, as long as the literati like it, it is easy to make it very high.
In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu wrote a book of "The Book of Tea", which wrote a detailed description of picking tea, picking tea, drinking tea, and cooking tea.
It was also the world's first professional book on tea.
Later, the literati and writers got together and had nothing to do, and they studied a tea fight: don't look at the ancient literati who have no power to restrain the chicken, but also specialize in studying this thing that compares with each other, otherwise it is said that the literati are light?
You take out a bag of tea, I take out a bag of tea, let's make a better tea than whomever it tastes better.
Drinking a tea is also a comparison. ” Di Wei looked like he suddenly realized: "What you said is like Chang Siye and Song Erye in the drama "Teahouse", as long as the two of them meet in the teahouse, they each take out a bag of tea and taste each other, they are fighting tea, right?"
” "That's pretty much it.
That's the legacy of tea fighting," Xiao Peng nodded.
"Anyway, as long as the literati like something, they must play high, appear to be different, appear to be superior, and tea has changed from the tea soup that was digested back then to the poor and exquisite today, why bother?
Today, if you don't drink tea according to that set, then you just don't have a taste, the grade is too low, what is it?
There are still many people who look down on people because of this, tsk, to put it bluntly, they are just a self-deceptive vanity. ” Cai Junwei took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "Brother Peng, you can't say that, I think this tea made with rootless water is better than ordinary water."
"Many people drink tea and pay attention to rootless water, what rain, snow, frost and dew, used to make tea.
Xiao Peng thought for a while and said: "What you said is like there is a plot in the Dream of Red Mansions, Miaoyu invited Daiyu to drink tea, just because Daiyu couldn't taste what water Miaoyu used to make tea, Miaoyu still looked down on Daiyu, saying that the water she used was snow water collected from plum blossoms five years ago, Miaoyu said that it was called a complacent, proud fart!"
What do you think you're drawing?
Isn't that poor?
Snow water five years ago?
How dirty is that?
In this way, there are still people who make up stories and myths to praise such an act of carrying water. ” "What's the story about water?"
Di Wei listened with relish.
Xiao Peng said: "Well, let me tell you one, it's also the story of the Song Dynasty, which is said to be Su Dongbo's hometown is Meizhou, Sichuan, and when he goes back to his hometown, he must pass through the Three Gorges area that we are talking about now."
At that time, Qutang Gorge was divided into upper gorge, middle gorge and lower gorge, the upper part was called Xiling Gorge, the middle was called Wu Gorge, and the lower part was returned to the gorge.
Collectively referred to as Qutang Gorge.
Legend has it that when he went back, Wang Anshi came to him and said that the water on the other side of Qutang Gorge is the best, bring me some water, don't want Xiling Gorge, don't return to the gorge, want the water of Wuxia.
As a result, Su Dongpo forgot it when he came back, and when he remembered it, he had already arrived at the Xiaxia and returned to the Xiaxia.
As a last resort, I filled a bucket of water back to the gorge.
As a result, when he returned to the capital and drank tea with Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi tasted it and said directly: 'Your water is not Wuxia water, but Guixia water'.
Su Dongpo was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Wang Anshi how he knew, Wang Anshi explained, "If you use Xiling Gorge water to make tea, the water flow is fast, and the tea flavor is strong, if you use Guixia water to make tea, the water flow is too slow, and the tea taste is too light, only Wuxia water is just right for tea."
Our pot of tea has been brewed for a long time without the smell of tea, and it is obviously washed out of the gorge water'. ” "The ancients were so powerful?
Drink tea to know where the water is?
This is something that can only be done by everyone at the tea ceremony.
Cai Junwei sighed: "I usually like to drink tea, and I have also been to the tea ceremony class, they say that those tea ceremony people can really drink what kind of water is used to brew the tea leaves." ” Yang Meng, who was not speaking on the side, looked at Cai Junwei like an idiot: "Do you believe such a story?"
Di Wei, I think you can change friends, your brother's IQ needs to be recharged.
But think about it from another angle, it's good to have such a stupid brother, sell him and pay for you!
” "Huh?"
"Fools know that the intensity of tea flavor is related to how much tea you put and when the tea is picked, and it has nothing to do with water.
The myth of hyping these waters is also to serve the hype of tea, so that the tea can be sold at a good price.
Whether it is hyping up the health care value or the cultural value, as long as the price of a thing exceeds its own value, then it is inflated, and it is not worth that much money at all!
Xiao Peng came to a conclusion.
Yang Meng said even more ruthlessly: "Who is in the way of drinking tea in my big tea jar?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
This new night pot is cleaned, and it can still make good tea!
” Di Wei was speechless: "Mengzi, let you say this, I don't even know how to drink this tea?"
” Yang Meng laughed and said: "How comfortable and how to drink, if you have money, you will pay attention to it, and if you don't have money, you will order."
If you have to say that you are rich and capricious, you must drink tens of thousands of tea, then no one will stop you, you are not the first to be rich and willful, and you are definitely not the last. ” Di Wei quickly changed the topic, can this still be enjoyable?
Say a few words and point the finger at yourself.
Is there still a way to play: "Brother Peng, didn't you say that you want to play to make money?"
What are your plans now?
He always felt that after meeting Xiao Peng, he had a wonderful life, and he wanted to continue playing.
How do you know that Xiao Peng sighed: "Alas.
I still have something to worry about, and I don't know what to do. ” After hearing this, Di Wei hurriedly asked, "Brother Peng, what are you worried about?"
Tell me about it, I can still help you with general things. ” Xiao Peng shook his head: "You can't help me with this." ” Di Wei said: "Then you can talk about it." ” Xiao Peng said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but now we have some money on hand, right?"
I want to send some money back to my family, but now we don't know how to send money back home. ”
