Chapter 280: The Best Red Robe
Song Lao saw that Li Zhifu had a piece of white gauze on the back of his head, and some blood stains were faintly revealed, so his face changed greatly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Song Lao entered the store, the two have been standing facing each other, and the lights in the store are not very bright - the only light source is the old table lamp on Niu Yusheng's workbench, so Song Lao didn't notice it at first.
And Li Zhifu turned around and walked a few steps, there happened to be a street lamp on the door leading to the stairs behind the store, and Song Lao suddenly saw it really clearly.
And in addition to this piece of white gauze, Song Lao also found that Li Zhifu also had some small abrasions on the side of his face and arms.
He frowned slightly, and asked eagerly, "Brother Afu, what's wrong with you, why are you hurt?"
Li Guizhi's eyes turned a little red when she heard this, and she couldn't help but say, "Uncle Song, my dad ...... him."
"Xiao Song, I accidentally fell yesterday!" Li Zhifu directly interrupted Li Guizhi's words and said, "It's not a big deal, it's all skin trauma." ”
After speaking, he also glanced at Li Guizhi with stern eyes, Li Guizhi bit his lower lip, and finally did not speak.
Song Lao has been mixing in the system all his life, and he has also reached the position of almost the pinnacle of a civil servant, so how can his ability to observe words and emotions be poor? He can see at a glance that Li Zhifu has something to hide.
However, Song Lao didn't break it, just looked at Li Zhifu and Li Guizhi thoughtfully, and then said, "Brother Afu, you have to be careful! You are over ninety this year, right?"
"Hehe, I'm 93 years old!" Li Zhifu said with a smile.
"Yes, a man in his nineties, his body and bones are not as good as those of young people, what should I do if I have to fall out of it?" said Song Lao.
Li Zhifu said with a smile: "I know, Xiao Song, I will be careful in the future." Let's go, go upstairs and sit!"
The group came upstairs together.
This storefront is Niu Yusheng's own home, it is a three-story small building, the first floor is used as a storefront, and the second and third floors are for self-residence.
There is a small living room and a bedroom on the second floor, Niu Yusheng and Li Guizhi and their husband and wife gave the master bedroom on the second floor to Li Zhifu for the convenience of the elderly going up and down the stairs, and the two of them lived on the third floor.
Li Zhifu happily beckoned everyone to sit down, then opened the box himself, took out a tin can from the bottom of the box, and said with a smile: "Xiao Song, please try the big red robe I made today!"
"Okay!" Song Lao said happily, "Brother Fu, I haven't drunk the tea you made for thirty years, and I've been thinking about it in my heart!"
"Then you have to taste it today!" Li Zhifu said, "I can't even drink this tea myself! Xiao Song, although my big red robe is not from the six mother trees, it is the first generation of big red robes cultivated by cuttings on the mother tree, and it is also very precious. ”
Song Lao said with a smile: "Brother Afu, no matter how precious the tea is, it is not as precious as your craftsmanship!
Li Zhifu smiled, carefully took out some tea leaves from the tin can, and began to make tea very skillfully.
Xia Ruofei watched from the side, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Li, I see that this tea leaf is a little bit like a dragon, but why is it that the tea leaves are all black, so it should be called a big red robe?"
Before Li Zhifu could speak, Song Lao laughed and said: "Xiao Xia, the red of this big red robe is not the color of the tea leaves, there is an allusion here!"
Then Song Lao said to Li Zhifu again: "Brother Afu, why don't you tell Xiao Xia about it?"
Li Zhifu nodded and began to speak.
It turns out that there is a Xiucai into Beijing to catch the exam, fell ill when passing through Wuyi Mountain, just happened to be met by a side of the abbot and took him back to the temple for treatment, the abbot picked the leaves of the tea tree in Jiulong and brewed tea for Xiucai to drink, and then a few days after Xiucai recovered, and entered Beijing to take the high school champion.
Therefore, he came back to repay the abbot, and at the same time brought tea into Beijing to offer it to the emperor, and it happened that the emperor was sick at this time, how to cure it, and then drank this tea, and the illness was cured, so the emperor gave a red robe and let the champion take it to drape it on the tree, and at the same time it was sealed as the imperial tea, and paid tribute every year.
Later, this tea became known as Da Hong Pao.
Xia Ruofei and Song Rui were both a little fascinated by what they heard, and it wasn't until Li Zhifu finished speaking that Xia Ruofei sighed: "I didn't expect this big red robe tea to have such an allusion......"
Song Lao said with a smile: "The authenticity of this legend is no longer exquisite, but the big red robe is extremely precious, when the chairman met with the old American president who visited China, he used to give him four two big red robes as a gift, at first the old beauty still felt that the chairman was stingy, and only gave 4 taels of tea! Later, the prime minister explained that this kind of superb big red robe only produces 8 taels a year, and giving him 4 taels is equivalent to giving him half of the country!"
Although Song Lao had not been in the high-level back then, he was also very familiar with these anecdotes, and they were very fascinating.
Li Zhifu also smiled and said: "Speaking of this big red robe, it was a tribute tea back then! And it is said that in a gift list of Guna Qianlong, there was a record of '20 catties of Biluochun, 30 catties of Longjing, and 8 taels of Da Hong Pao', which shows how precious the big red robe is. ”
Although Li Zhifu is an old farmer who is not in words, when it comes to his ancestral old business, tea, it is like a river.
Xia Ruofei also said: "Mr. Li, I also heard that a few years ago, the 20-gram big red robe was auctioned for a sky-high price of 208,000 yuan!"
Li Zhifu smiled and nodded, "That's right." However, these big red robes we are talking about are all mother trees in the real sense of the word, and after 07 years, the government has ordered to stop picking in order to protect the six mother trees, so now you can't drink that kind of excellent tea. ”
Song Lao said with a smile: "But Brother Afu, the first generation of Da Hong Robe from the mother tree's vegetative breeding, plus Brother Afu's own hand-made, must be no worse than the mother tree's Da Hong Robe!"
"Can't compare, can't compare......" Li Zhifu said modestly.
When everyone was chatting, Li Zhifu didn't stop in his hands, and soon brewed the tea, he poured a small cup for each of them, and then said with a smile: "Come on, come on, come and taste it!" If you taste it carefully, you will find that the tea in our Wuyi Mountain has a 'rock rhyme', which is not found in other teas!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of slamming the door downstairs.
Li Zhifu frowned slightly, and said, "Yusheng, go down and see what's going on?"
"Okay!" Niu Yusheng immediately got up and walked downstairs.
"Come on, come on, let's have tea!" Li Zhifu continued to beckon.
Xia Ruofei and the others all picked up the teacup and took a sip slightly, even if he didn't know much about tea, he still felt the extraordinaryness of this big red robe, the entrance was slightly bitter, but the sweetness was very fast, and it was quite mellow.
When everyone was drinking tea, there were bursts of quarrels downstairs, and Niu Yusheng's angry voice was particularly obvious...... (To be continued.) )
