Chapter 661: Tea

The seventeen jade tablets obtained by Han Peacock were the cultivation methods of the early Warring States period, and taking them was actually alchemy, and taking them was a Taoist cultivation method.

The Taoist way of taking food and cultivating is to take pills and herbs in order to live forever.

Eating originated from the Warring States Fangshi, Taoism inherited the art of taking food, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, advocating the use of Jindan, at the same time, taking herbs and herbs is also more common.

"Hug Puzi" has a special article on taking food, mostly for herbs and trees to take prescriptions, to the Tang Dynasty, the outer Danshu is prosperous, there are many people who take herbs, because most of the herbs and herbs are added to the pill smelting, and the number of people who take herbs and herbs is relatively reduced.

After the Tang Dynasty, the Wai Dan technique gradually declined, but some of the prescriptions were absorbed and refined by doctors, enriching ancient medicine. "Orthodox Daozang" contains "Immortals Serve Lingcao Calamus Pill Formula", "Planting Zhicao Method" and so on.

Therefore, the record on the jade tablet of Han Peacock is the most orthodox and the most original secret method of taking food, and many of the prescriptions recorded on it, especially herb and wood prescriptions, still have research value for medicinal purposes.

Although the number of words on the jade tablet is not much, a variety of combinations can combine more than 150 kinds of anti-aging and longevity prescriptions, eight kinds of unilateral prescriptions for supplementing deficiency, 40 kinds of compound prescriptions for supplementing deficiency, six kinds of unilateral prescriptions for prolonging life, and 36 kinds of compound prescriptions for prolonging life.

Of course, although there are a lot of things recorded in this, these things are recorded in more than 20 kinds of Taoist books and Chinese medicine classics such as "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", "Qianjin Yao Fang", "Secret Essentials of Outer Taiwan", "Compendium of Materia Medica", etc. It's just that it's not as comprehensive as the food record on the jade tablet.

Therefore, although the jade tablet of the feeding method in Han Peacock's hand is precious, it is not so precious that it is self-cherished.

"Wait a minute." After speaking, Han Peacock walked into the room, and he directly put out the jade tablet of the feeding method in the side room and placed it next to a wall.

When Han Peacock walked out, those people had already gone to watch the five tea trees, and Han Peacock walked up to them and said, "It's in the room, you can send someone in to rub it in." ”

Xu Jiachen glanced at Han Peacock and said, "You are really generous." ”

Han Peacock pretended to smile bitterly and said, "Can I still refuse?" ”

"Don't be so pitiful, your five tea trees are too tall. And you're too bold. No one else buys it, as far as you know it's a good thing. Xu Jiachen said.

At this time, Han Peacock also figured it out, at that time, he was also attracted by the five tea trees, and forgot to think about it. But. Thankfully, he didn't think much of it. If he thought about it more, he might be like everyone else, and he wouldn't dare to buy it. In that case, these five tea trees will not fall into his hands.

"These five tea trees are really a big trouble, my country claims to be the origin of tea, but there are tea trees abroad that are older than in China, so these five tea trees will be transplanted at the risk of death.

Fortunately, you also have the ability to let them recover their vitality so quickly, if it weren't for this, these five tea trees would not have been able to stay with you. Xu Jiachen said.

At this time, Han Peacock suddenly realized that this was a big man in China, and he couldn't see that other people's things were better than his own, so he transported the five world's best tea trees outside to China.

"You're not going to put them on the black market on purpose, are you? No matter who buys them, they are the target of your oppression, in order to find a tea master who can confidently grow them alive? ”

Han Peacock has only now truly come to his senses, no wonder he was able to buy these five tea trees lightly!

"Or what do you think? I spent so much money to get them back home, how could this stuff end up on the black market if it wasn't for another purpose? For a tree more than 30 meters high, transportation is a big problem. ”

Xu Jiachen looked at the five tea trees that seemed to be towering into the clouds, and he was also a little amazed in his heart.

The active water in Han Peacock's hand is really a divine thing, and it can actually be light, which makes these five tea trees rejuvenated.

In fact, Han Peacock didn't know that they also had to dig up these five tea trees at that time.

Because these five tea trees were exposed, and the local environment suffered great damage.

These five tea trees are getting weaker and weaker, and if they are not transplanted, these five tea trees will not live too long, which can be seen from the increasingly sparse branches.

If it weren't for too many concerns, they wouldn't have thought about going to the black market to find someone, but would have planted them in a place they had chosen in advance.

They have already selected a few treasures in West Lake City, and they will transport them away when the black market is over at night, and the reason why they stay in the black market for one night is because it is not easy to transport at night, and they also want to touch it in case.

In case they meet strange people on the black market, they may be able to save these five tea trees lightly, and the masters are among the people, which is just a helpless move for their dead horses to be used as live horse doctors.

It's just that their helpless move actually had a miraculous effect.

None of them thought that Han Peacock, who happened to meet him, directly planted these five tea trees in his house, and immediately planted them alive.

The vitality of this kind of old tree pumping new branches can't be faked, and it is because of this that Xu Jiachen began to pay attention to the active water resources in the hands of Han Peacock.

Otherwise, a busy person like him, even if these five tea trees settled in the magic capital, it would be impossible to waste half a day here.

Han Peacock said: "These five tea trees are here with me, you can rest assured!" I'll take care of it. ”

Han Peacock was really scared at this time, they got these five tea trees away, and now his confidence is not enough, after all, people have paid too much, and he definitely took advantage.

Xu Jiachen smiled at this time: "As long as they live, no one can take these five tea trees away from you, but you have to contribute some of the tea produced by this tea tree every year, after all, we have paid a lot of price for these five tea trees, and it is not easy to explain how you left them here." ”

"This is no problem, I will keep half of the tea leaves, and the rest will be given to you, you see, these five tea trees are in my hands, but they are better than in the original place, at least they have begun to twitch new branches, I think in other places, not to mention the new branches, it is also a problem to be able to save them half-dead."

Even if Han Peacock didn't know what danger these five tea trees were facing, he could guess that the situation of these five tea trees would definitely not be good, otherwise, no one would take the risk of transplanting them elsewhere with such a large five tea trees.

Xu Jiachen said: "Half is too little, you must know that Xihu City also needs to be appeased, after all, these five tea trees were originally to be transported to them, but now they are left by us in the magic capital, how can we give someone an explanation." ”

Han Peacock thought for a while and said: "These five tea trees, it's good to be able to pick five kilograms of top-level tea leaves every year, I'll keep two kilograms and give you three kilograms, so it's okay!" ”

"Hua Lao, you always help calculate and see how many catties of tea you can produce." Xu Jiachen would not be fooled by Han Peacock, he directly looked for a master to calculate.

Hua Lao looked at the five tea trees with a smile, counted the branches, and said: "Even if we have one bud and one leaf, depending on the growth of this tea tree, it will not be a problem to pick tens of thousands of pieces each time."

Five, how can you pick a kilogram of tea leaves each time, according to the calculation of picking five times, but the yield of one bud and two leaves or one bud and three leaves is high, how to divide this depends on yours, of course, this also depends on what kind of tea is made, if you make zuò oolong tea, the yield is still half higher, so"

Looking at Hua Lao's smiling appearance, Han Peacock felt that his eggs hurt, this old guy's advantage is really not easy to take advantage of.

Tea picking is to pick the new buds and leaves on the tea tree, the buds and leaves are composed of buds and leaves, picking a bud with a leaf is called "one bud and one leaf", a bud with two leaves is called "one bud and two leaves", and so on, there is a bud with three leaves, a bud and four leaves, etc.

When the buds and leaves gradually mature, there is only a very short bud left at the top (called the standing bud), and the following is the leaf, and the bud leaf with the standing bud between the two leaves is called the "pair of leaves".

Sometimes a single leaf is accidentally picked, which is called a single leaf.

The size and tenderness of the picking buds and leaves are determined according to the different requirements of different teas, that is, different teas have different picking standards.

High-grade famous teas, such as Longjing tea, Biluochun, etc., all require the picking of delicate buds and leaves as raw materials.

The special grade and first-grade Longjing tea is generally picked from one bud and one leaf to one bud and two leaves as raw materials.

The second and third levels can pick one bud, two or three leaves as raw materials.

Some famous teas require picking a single bud or a bud and a leaf as raw materials, such as Baihao Silver Needle, Snow Water Cloud Green.

Therefore, to make one kilogram of high-grade tea, it is necessary to pick 6~80,000 buds and leaves, and 1o thousand buds and leaves, which shows the hardship of tea picking.

Bulk red and green tea is produced in different grades, the first and second grade tea is generally required to be based on one bud, two and three leaves, the third and fourth grade tea requires one bud, three and four leaves and two and three leaves as raw materials, and the fifth and sixth grade tea is generally based on the clip leaves, and the leaves are also coarse and old.

The picking standard of oolong tea is different from that of general red and green tea, not the more tender the better, too tender raw materials can not make the fragrance of oolong tea, of course, too old raw materials have a weak fragrance is not ideal.

Oolong tea generally requires "open face picking", that is, it is necessary to wait until the new shoots grow to 3-5 leaves, the top buds stop growing, and when the top leaves have 6-7 open surfaces, pick 2-4 leaf bud tips as raw materials.

Obviously, more raw materials for making zuò oolong tea have to be collected, and these old guys have thought of everything, and it seems that they will not leave too much advantage for Han Peacock.

Han Peacock said: "Five kilograms of top-grade tea every year, is this okay?" I have such five tea trees in my hands, there are too many people to deal with, I can only look at the yield every year, give you some top tea, up to five kilograms, if there is an unexpected reduction in production, it will be distributed according to the situation, and you can only account for seventy percent at most.
