"This... what kind of smell is this?" He Yiqi asked curiously.
He Yiqi was confused about the taste described by Lan Yu. He obviously knew every word Lan Yu said, but he couldn't understand the words when they were connected together.
Lan Yu was also stunned when he heard this, and was thinking about how to answer the question of why to give up.
After all, He Yiqi's ability to understand is only so great. If he talked a little more deeply, he would be confused.
At this time, Aunt Biao came in with several cups and handed them to everyone one by one.
The proprietress and He Yiqi both drink peach blossom wine. Although He Yiqi doesn't like drinking very much, he can't stand it and is often dragged to drink with the proprietress. Therefore, at a young age, He Yiqi can gradually drink with the proprietress.
But for some reason, He Yiqi was still able to drink a few glasses of the peach blossom wine brought out by the landlady, but one time He Yiqi bumped into Presbyopia secretly pouring out a glass of wine from the warehouse. Presbyopia saw this and took the initiative to share half of it. He ended up with half a glass of wine, and He Yiqi became drunk in an instant.
As a result, He Yi slept in bed all afternoon, and his presbyopia was scolded by Aunt Biao all afternoon.
…………
The sapphire and purple cups are filled with clear tea, with three or five green tea leaves floating on the tea water.
Lan Yu leaned close to the mouth of the cup, closed her eyes slightly, and moved her nose slightly, as if she was sniffing the fragrance of the tea.
After a while, a smile appeared on Lan Yu's face, and she slowly said two words, "Maple Leaf!"
The landlady raised her brows, looked at Lan Yu with a little more appreciation in her eyes, and said with a smile, "Sir, you are indeed a well-read and knowledgeable person. He not only knows how to appreciate wine, but also how to taste tea!"
"Haha, blah, blah, blah, I've only seen some rough words in books, and this is the first time I've seen this real thing in reality.
As far as I'm concerned, the person who can really appreciate wine and taste tea must be the proprietress. After all, if there is such good wine and such good tea in the restaurant, the proprietress who comes to this restaurant must be extraordinary. By the way, this tea is probably also collected and passed down by your distant cousin’s ancestors! "
Lan Yu and the landlady looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of agreement tacitly.
At this time, Zi beside him took a sip of tea, then closed his eyes, seeming to be meditating quietly.
He Yiqi was a little confused and said, "What are you talking about? What kind of tea is this?"
Lan Yu smiled slightly and said, "This tea is called Maple Leaf, and it is a very special tea.
Maple leaf tea trees only grow in the icy and snowy northern Jizhou, and tea trees grow extremely slowly. It takes at least three years for each tea tree to be planted and produce tea.
At the beginning, the maple leaf tea tree was not famous. After soaking in water, the maple leaf tea, which has not seen sunlight all year round, tastes extremely bitter and tastes not good at all. Almost no one likes to drink this kind of tea.
It can be said that maple leaf tea had almost no merit at that time except for the fact that the branches and leaves growing from the tea tree were as red as maple trees, which made people shocked after seeing it in the ice and snow.
However, when a traveler drove an ice deer and accidentally ate the tea leaves from a maple leaf tea tree, the owner of the tea tree discovered that the maple leaf tea picked from this tea tree suddenly tasted extremely delicious and was no longer as bitter as before. .
And if you pick it, boil it in hot water for half an hour, and then let it dry overnight, you will find that the original fiery red tea leaves have turned green.
The green tea leaves are not only convenient for long-term storage and retain the umami flavor, but also have a more mellow and rich aroma when drunk.
Not only that, the maple leaf tea growing on the maple leaf tea trees that have been eaten by ice deer can make the drinker hear the crisp sound of deer chirping in their ears, which is refreshing and refreshing.
Only then did people discover that the ice deer secreted a peculiar fragrance while eating maple leaf tea. It was this fragrance that affected the growth of maple leaf tea and changed the taste of maple leaf tea.
So soon, the tea farmers who planted maple leaf tea in Jizhou would raise a few ice deer to eat some of the maple leaf tea leaves.
When these reborn maple leaf teas returned to the eyes of those who love tea, they instantly gained their recognition.
The tea market, which had been controlled by several famous tea brands in Kyushu for a long time, once again ushered in a new reform. Maple Leaf Tea broke through the shackles with an unstoppable trend and jumped into the list of famous teas. "
"I'm walking on red leaves deep in the mountains, and I can hear the roar of deer in my ears. I like maple leaves very much, but it's a pity that I always say goodbye when the maple leaves are red." Zi suddenly said quietly, and everyone was stunned by his words.
When Lan Yu heard this, she was even more surprised and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zi is also a knowledgeable and talented person. These two words just now really benefited me a lot!"
To him, Zi Fangcai's words seemed plain, but in fact they were profound. It would be impossible to say them without profound experience and personal experience, and the hint of regret and nostalgia in the words was enough to show that the speaker had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
Thinking of this, Lan Yu couldn't help but have such a picture in her mind.
It is late autumn, deep in the quiet mountains, and the maple leaves redder than February flowers hang on the treetops sadly, as if the trees are retaining the last bit of dignity.
The crisp deer call lingers in the deep mountains, suddenly near and far, disappearing and appearing. Being immersed in such beautiful scenery makes people feel ethereal, as if they have experienced a sacred baptism and have forgotten the filth. Red dust.
A cup of good tea can bring you not only appetite and physical pleasure, but more importantly, it can purify your soul.
In martial arts, there is a group of warriors who specialize in tea ceremony.
Tea ceremony practitioners belong to those who practice martial arts, and the tea they brew with their own hands
Their effects are all kinds of strange, some can help a warrior recover from physical injuries, some can make a warrior feel peaceful, and some can destroy a warrior's mind and kill people invisibly.
It is said that there was a master of tea ceremony in Tianxia Academy. He once felt grateful for the great perseverance and perseverance of a third-level warrior who was trapped in a bottleneck and still persisted for decades, so he personally brewed a cup of fragrant tea for him.
After the warrior drank it, he was immediately covered with golden light, and the beam of light that shot straight into the sky shone for a whole day and night. The aura on his body became more and more powerful. When he finally woke up, he had already crossed the bottleneck and logged into the five realms in one step. The realm of taste!
Cross two levels in one day and reach the fifth level!
Afterwards, the warrior volunteered to join Tianxia Academy and became a supporter of the tea ceremony master, serving around him.
"Haha, Mr. Lan Yu is just kidding. I'm just a vulgar person. Two nonsense words are really nothing." Zi said.
"By the way, I remember that the palace examination that Mr. Lan Yu participated in was a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, and a hundred flowers bloomed. Can you tell us how intense the palace examination was at that time?" the landlady said.
Lan Yu's face instantly revealed a look of yearning, and she said, "The palace examination of that year was indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Especially the masters from all walks of life who competed for the top spot in martial arts in that session were like a vying for the throne. Although I am not proficient in martial arts, I can feel how amazing and talented the masters who emerged that year to compete for the title of No. 1 in the world were, and how aggrieved and regretful they were.
Some masters who came to participate in the palace examination sighed, feeling that they were not born at the right time, and there were so many more evil people among their peers. If I could have been born a year earlier, I would have shined in Kyushu and achieved honor.
Some people are grateful that they are truly honored to be born in this era and to be able to walk with so many people who share the same path. They are never alone!
It can be said that the competition for the top spot in martial arts that year was unprecedented and unprecedented.
Some people come here to take advantage of the excitement and return in despair, some people work hard for several years and finally achieve good results, some people are not strong enough and return with regrets..."
"What is the purpose of this palace examination? Why do so many people want to go?" He Yiqi asked curiously.
Lan Yu smiled and explained, "This palace exam is like the exam in the book hall in our town, except that this exam is held by the Human Emperor of our human race, and the people who take the exam are all from all over Kyushu. After screening, from villages to towns, then to counties, cities, and states, the last remaining elites of the elites went to the palace in Chang'an City to compete in front of the Human Emperor.
Therefore, if you want to participate in the palace examination, you must become a strong man who can crush tens of millions of people in a state. In the end, only ten people from each state will participate in the palace examination, and those who participate in this palace examination must be under the age of twenty. "
"Is this like this? Only ten people can go there from one state... It sounds like these people are geniuses! I wonder if I can take part in the palace examination in the future and come back with a martial arts champion!" He Yi said with a smile.
The drunken presbyopia on the side said at this time, "That's necessary! I know why you abandoned this kid. He is not an ordinary person since he was a child. He will definitely become a prosperous person in the future and suppress his peers in Kyushu to the point where they can't hold their heads up!"
"Yes, yes, my little boss is a best among men, a genius among geniuses, and he will definitely win the top prize in martial arts in the future!" The lame man on the side was also drinking osmanthus poured from the wine bottle in the presbyopic hand. Tears, while echoing.
Although Aunt Biao didn't say anything, her brows were raised slightly, and it could be seen that she was very optimistic about He Yi.
"I remember that that person finally got the top prize in martial arts that year!" the landlady said in a deep voice.
"Yes, even under such circumstances, that person dared to go on stage to compete. To be honest, I admire him very much. If I have the chance, I would also like to meet and get in touch with him." Zi put down the teacup and said lightly.
"A heartbroken song, where can I find a close friend in the world? Who doesn't admire people like him!" Lan Yu said with emotion, with undisguised admiration in his words.
At this time, Aunt Biao urged from the side, "Don't just chat, you should also eat some food, otherwise the food will be completely cold later."
