Chapter 70 Guest (Part 2)
Of course the old man has to be satisfied.
First of all, the tea cup is celadon, with a green and lush glaze, which makes it look very beautiful just by looking.
This celadon teacup was passed down from the ancestors of the Dahan family. No one knows how many generations it has passed down, but Dahan once said that a celadon teacup that came to collect old furniture fifteen years ago. After seeing the celadon teacup that had been preserved for countless years, he offered a purchase price of 50,000 yuan on the spot.
The 50,000 yuan at that time is worth at least 200,000 yuan now!
However, even in the most difficult time of Dahan's family, Uncle Li never thought of selling the object passed down from his ancestors. Even though he knew that he would be paralyzed if he didn't have surgery, Uncle Li also stopped Aunt Wang from selling this celadon teacup for him to treat his illness.
People in Jiangnan are very good at doing business and are famous all over the country, but in fact they are more traditional in their bones and are particularly stubborn in keeping the memory of their ancestors. In their opinion, it is a very important thing. It is not just about using some old objects as heirlooms for appreciation.
At least, as the only heir of the celadon teacup, Dahan, the idea passed down from his parents is that unless the family is destroyed, this old object passed down from his ancestors cannot be sold.
Usually, this celadon tea cup is wrapped in red cloth and placed in a large wardrobe.
This time, I was able to take it out and turn it back into a teacup from the heirloom. It was obviously because of the arrival of the ancient genius doctor. Aunt Wang, who had always been smart, paid a lot of money for her husband.
Of course, what can make the ancient genius doctor look like this is naturally not just a tea-filled utensil that is much younger than him.
Although the celadon, which was first formed during the Eastern Han Dynasty, cannot be compared with the increasingly developed porcelain-making industry in later generations, the ancient genius doctors have seen many genius doctors made of gold, silver and jade.
In his opinion, what is the "antique" that makes modern people look green in their eyes may be a good object.
What made him really show his beauty was the tea in the cup.
The earliest record of the word "tea" in Chinese history should be in "Shennong Bencao Jing", which naturally means that let alone the Eastern Han Dynasty, if you count it for thousands of years, the Chinese nation will have the habit of drinking tea.
However, before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, "tea" was more of a medicine. It was not until the "tea saint" Lu Yu came out that the tea course was completely carried forward and had the prototype of modern tea ceremony and tea art, but it was already the mid-Tang Dynasty.
Before this, the tea drinking trend of tea was extremely popular in Tang people. They were basically tea cakes, and they were broken into tea powder and added salt to them.
Yes, you read that right. Don’t look at the Tang Dynasty scholars who cooked tea with a serious look when they burned incense and bathed in water and made tea, but the tea with salt and some green onions, ginger and garlic is really too much for modern people.
There was such an excessive era, and what about the Eastern Han Dynasty that was before that era? If you think about it, you will know that it is not much better.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks and occupied the vast Western Regions. The entire Tang Dynasty people were so awesome that they even added precious salt to their tea, which was naturally much better than the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which was so poor that they were very poor.
In the era when ancient genius doctors lived, they were actually the most modern in tea. They used a technique called roasting tea, which was to put the tea into a pottery stove and roast it. When it was roasted until it was browned, it was poured into boiling water to drink it, maintaining the most primitive taste of the tea.
But there is a problem with this. Except for the tea production area, the rest of the people want to drink fresh tea that comes with him? In that era, there was no high-speed rail except Marco, and it could take thousands of miles a day.
Therefore, it can only be made into tea bricks.
That look and taste are far worse than tea made with modern craftsmanship.
This is also one of the most satisfying things that ancient genius doctors have come to this era to drink Liu Shu’s tea.
After all, in his era, the most important thing was to eat and fill his stomach. Unlike modern Chinese, eating full is no longer the focus, but the focus is to satisfy the desire to taste the mouth.
Compared with the tea from Liu Shu's family, the tea brought by Dahan completely killed it into a scum.
The tea soup is green, like a pool of clear water, and small tea leaves like silver needles stand in the tea.
Not to mention drinking, just watching it makes people feel happy.
"Oh! Dahan, you can do it! What kind of tea? Why have I never seen it before?" Fatty Huang cried out in shock at first.
Hudao Town has mountains and water, and the climate is humid and pleasant, so naturally there is no shortage of tea. It is the main tea-producing area in Jiangnan Province except for the mountainous areas around West Lake in the provincial capital Qianjiang City. The "Qiandao Jade Leaf" produced here is even more famous.
But just looking at the color of this tea, it is not only not inferior, but even better. What is the reason why the tea is so cute that it can't bear to drink it?
Liu Shu smiled slightly.
Of course he knew what kind of tea this is. This tea is not produced on ordinary tea trees around Jiuxi Village, but picked from an old tea tree located on the Qinglong Pin with an altitude of 1,300 meters above sea level in Jiuxi Village.
After walking through the entire Qinglong Tip, there will never be more than ten old tea trees that can grow this kind of tea.
But Qinglongzing, one of the main peaks of Qianlishan Mountains, cannot be easily accessible by anyone. Not to mention that the elderly in the village are sure that there are jackals, tigers and leopards inside. Someone saw black bears in them seven or eight years ago.
Not with five or six people as their companions, few people dare to enter the deep mountains and forests like Qinglongjian, let alone go to the top of the mountain with an altitude of about 1,000 meters to find old tea trees. Even if they know that the tea leaves are very expensive, and even a pound can be sold at a high price of tens of thousands, few people dare to go.
Only Dahan, who is stupid and bold, dares to go and has never gone to school after graduating from technical secondary school, has not been staying at home for the past few years.
In order to save money to treat his father, this fool relied on "young and courageous" to walk into the tip of the green dragon with the coordinate map of the old tea tree drawn by Uncle Li before.
It is said that stupid people have good fortune. Dahan not only found the old tea tree and picked three or four kilograms of tea, but also didn't even see a wild animal hair. Five days later, he came out in a mess again.
After I came back, my parents ordered me to kneel down and my sister took the rattan and sucked it.
But it is true that three or four kilograms of tea are sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
Since then, Dahan has gone to the mountain before Qingming Festival every year, and he has not picked much tea each time. He only has about three and a half pounds of tea to make it into, which is the amount set by Uncle Li for him.
The tea leaves on the old tea tree located in the deep mountains and absorbing the essence of the world are of course top-notch, but the quality of the tea is not only in the tea itself, but also in the technology of stir-frying tea, but also one of the decisive factors that determine the quality of the tea.
In other words, no matter how good the tea that Dahan has recovered at the risk of his life, he will not be able to sell at a high price without a tea stir-fryer.
Fortunately, there is one in Jiuxi Village, a tea stir-frying master.
The number one tea-fried master in Jiuxi Village is nothing but the bedridden uncle Li who is now bedridden. Fifteen years ago, when he had no health problems, he was nicknamed Li Jiujin.
That means he only stir-frys nine kilograms of the top tea, and he will never stir-fry more again.
The tea that Dahan risked his life was made by Uncle Li, who could not leave but could barely sit up. Three and a half pounds were his limit. Every time he finished frying, he had to lie in bed for a month.
The tea fried by Uncle Li is called Yinhao, which was once the signature tea in Jiuxi Village, but the yield is extremely low and is unknown to many people.
It is only when some local tycoon players who specialize in tea tasting that they know that this small mountain village has the top tea in Hudao Town and even Jiangnan Province.
Most young people like Fatty Huang like to drink Sprite Coke. Where do they care about tea, a product that belongs to the cultural category of middle-aged and elderly people?
The more than three pounds of tea I picked this year were not sold out. Dahan originally wanted to get some for Liu Shu, but Liu Shu asked him to sell it first. He would wait until June before it was sold out. Unexpectedly, Dahan brought it to treat customers first.
If you count as ten thousand per pound, these three cups of tea are not counted as the effort it takes to get spring water from the springs in the mountains, but the cost of tea alone is several hundred!
The two brothers and sisters of Everbright can't make this decision, so it should be decided by Aunt Wang, who has always been smart.
