Section 0614 Tea tasting
"No, no, you can't even afford to be medium, you don't know what it means to be superior. But from a friend's point of view, I'll personally give you twenty horses of purple silk, which are nothing at all. β
Willow is very generous, so generous that Oscar Buddy is a little frightened, and there is always a sense of conspiracy in it.
Getting such a valuable gift for no reason scared him.
Yanagi said to the translator, "I'm telling you, their purple dye is made of deep-sea shells, don't tell me anything wrong." You tell him that I have come to invite him to enjoy the taste of true aristocrats. Then tell him to let his students learn Chinese for me here. β
The translator accurately translated Yanagi's words, without mentioning any dyes or anything like that.
The purple color on the Datang side uses grass as a raw material, and the cost is more than thousands of times lower than that of shells.
The Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchants Association made full preparations a day in advance, and borrowed two sets of famous tea sets from the town kiln at the top alone, which are not for sale from each famous kiln.
"Jumbo Cup!" Oscar Buddy exclaimed as soon as he saw the tea set on the table.
The first cup to Europe was transmitted to the Western Roman Empire during the Western Han Dynasty.
Europe could not burn porcelain before the nineteenth century, because porcelain stone seems to be only available in southern China, and another material, kaolin, requires a secondary formula, plus feldspar, quartz and other materials.
Another reason is that refining porcelain requires a furnace temperature of more than 1,300 degrees, which was simply not possible in medieval Europe.
Liu Mu sat down with a smile and gave the president of the Jiangnan Tea Merchants Association a look, and immediately a set of tea sets and boxes were sent to Oscar Buddy's hands, Liu Mu said: "This set you see with your eyes can never be used as a gift, and I have less than ten sets of top-notch porcelain of this grade." β
A layman like Oscar Buddy can see the difference between the two sets.
However, Liu Mu will not use the top porcelain to make tea for him, in case this thing accidentally breaks one, Liu Mu can't afford to pay for it, this is the treasure of the town.
The first brew is not the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, but the honey grapefruit green tea is boiled and then cooled.
"It's the best water I've ever drunk in my life."
Liu Mu snapped his fingers, and a tea woman immediately began to brew tea, the second brew was black tea from the Fujian region in later generations, and then added milk, and rock sugar.
Oscar Buddy screamed, he couldn't even describe what the jewel-colored glass of liquid in front of him was.
"There is no such thing as the best, only something more beautiful." Yanagi motioned for the translator to pass on his words to the other party, and then Yanagi glanced sideways at the president of the Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchants Association, and the president gave Yanagi a reassuring look.
Soon, the president of the Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchants Association personally held a small wooden box that was carefully carved.
The tea lady made another cup, but nothing was added, and put her hands in front of Oscar Buddy.
Oscar Badi looked sideways at Liu Mu, although he didn't understand the language, but after all, he was also the first person around the Patriarch, and he could feel the expression of the one just now when he was holding tea, which was a kind of piety that seemed to be when he was praying for blessings.
Holding the small cup in both hands, he slowly poured the tea into his mouth.
Liu Mu took a deep breath, it has been three years, and it has taken three years, countless tea masters and tea calendars have worked hard, and finally reproduced the style of the world's reddest.
Even if this tea does not belong to the Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchants Association, it still makes every tea person respectful.
"The first red in the world, whether you understand or don't understand my words, this cup of tea represents the queen of tea, which can no longer be measured by coins, this is the treasure of my Tang tea culture."
Unlike later translations, the Persian translations of the Ministry of Rites were not just foreign language knowledge.
He was a man of great learning in his own right.
He understood Liu Mu's words, and he used Persian to show the Chinese tea culture as much as possible, as well as the meaning of this cup of tea.
Oscar Buddy was fascinated by the fact that he had already seen the prosperity of the magical country of the East. Such a great kingdom must have a deep civilization, and he listened to every word with a pious heart.
The world's first red is definitely not a wasted name.
In the 19th century, it was the British who stole some tea trees and tea branches. Then there is Ceylon red, Darjeeling red.
When it comes to black tea, Qimen red deserves to be the first red in the world.
Oscar Buddy chatted with the interpreter of the Ministry of Rites for two quarters of an hour, and in this time, eighteen refreshments brought this cup of tea to a new level, and the willow wood was chosen according to the preferences of Europeans, especially the cream muffins, which made Oscar Buddy feel like a country man from a poor area.
There are also no such delicious dim sums in the Byzantine palace.
Finally, the translator and Oscar Buddy stopped discussing tea, and the translator told Yanagi: "Donkey, he said that his soul has been sublimated, but he is a little puzzled, since this cup is the queen of tea, is there an emperor in the tea?" β
"Tell him he may not be able to taste it, but I'm going to let him taste it."
After the translator responded, Liu Mu said: "You tell him, what is the meaning of suffering, and you have to talk about the meaning of debut." It's a practice, and it's a realization. β
"Xia Guan loves green tea very much, although I dare not say that I have studied deeply, but I also have some experience."
Liu Mu nodded at the president of the Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchants Association: "It's your turn, the emperor of tea." β
The president of this cup of tea merchants did not let the tea girl come, he wanted to take action personally, he wanted to show the limit of the dragon well before the snow, so he always asked Liu Mu to give him the name of the emperor in the tea of Shifeng Longjing, even if he died immediately, he would smile Jiuquan.
Liu Mu said in a low voice: "Whether it is Qimen Red or Longjing, it has not reached the extreme, don't be proud." β
The president of the Tea Merchants Association did not answer, and he was meditating at this time.
Tea is already part of the Tao.
Tea, there have been several Taoist celebrities to write the tea scriptures, and based on the Chinese civilization, write the inner understanding.
Meditation is the most important part of making tea.
The tea is good, the interpreter of the Ministry of Rites said it better, even if the green tea is not suitable for Oscar Buddy's eating habits at all, but he also tastes it seriously, and experiences the aftertaste of the bitter aftertaste.
Soon, Liu Mu borrowed another part of the garden in Hangzhou.
Oscar Buddy and his students lived here and began to study Chinese in a series. Li Shentong also found nearly 100 young people with outstanding literary talents to learn ancient Greek here.
In Byzantium, there are three languages of Greek.
The first is known as naΓ―ve and degenerate Greek and is mostly used by the poor. Not even the text. The second was the more flexible Greek language, which was spoken by the wealthy and the common aristocracy. The last type, the real elite aristocracy, used classical Greek. 210
