Narrator: Tan Hee-wing
Tea has been the favorite of literati throughout the ages. Casually turning over a collection of prose masterpieces, if you can't find an article about tea, it is simply incredible. The reason is that in my shallow speculation, there is no way to pay attention to whether the literati are poor, full of wine and food, tea is economically easy to obtain, and hospitality is a good thing, so I do not hesitate to investigate. Essays everyone Zhou Zuoren is considered to be a celebrity of tea tasting, a book "Life in the Rain", there are as many as four articles on the tea ceremony. He wrote in "Drinking Tea": Drinking tea should be under the paper window of the tile house, clear spring green tea, with a plain ceramic tea set, drink with two or three people, get half a day of leisure, can be worth ten years of dust dreams.
I don't have to and I don't have the opportunity to be vassal. It may be a laughing stunt, but I almost dare not drink tea now, especially in the afternoon and evening. If you inadvertently violate the prohibition, you may be unable to sleep all night. As for the fine products in the tea, what Biluochun, Longjing, what Da Hong Pao, Pu'er, although there are occasional tastings, it is difficult to get three of them, and the interest is not great.
However, I like the popular hemp tea.
Mazi tea should be a specialty of Chaling. It is popular in the countryside, but as far as I know, many people in the city also favor it. If I say the material of this tea, or some people despise it. It is different from ordinary green tea, not made from young buds, but made from coarse and old adult leaves. It is also very simple to make, just use an iron pan to dry. As the name suggests, sesame seed tea is less sesame, and the tea brewed from fried sesame seeds is more fragrant and mellow. A certain amount of salt must be placed in the tea, and if it is too salty or too light, it will damage the taste. In addition, you can also put a little pepper or peppercorns. Cumin is essential, fragrant and ventilated. Slightly more hearty, then some fried soybeans or peas, dried beans or whatever. Piping boiling water is slowly poured into the bowl, steaming up, and immediately a plant aroma emerges, refreshing the heart. No matter how full people are, when they encounter this kind of scene, they can't sustain themselves, and they can't help but drink a few bowls of it. It is also strange to say that this tea does not seem to be full, and women can drink it all day long, like those Xinjiang women who drink milk tea under the trees all day long, as Wang Meng wrote in "In Ili".
If anyone comes to the female guest, the neighbors ask the west family to urge, half a day to drink more than ten homes. Most people have food to accompany tea, or peanuts, or potato peels, or fried glutinous rice products, these side foods are collectively called "Huan Tea", as if they are specially prepared for drinking tea. Drink and eat, the stomach is round, and the meal is completely dispensable. Mazi tea was originally a patent for women, and men were hungry and joined the ranks of drinking tea together, pushing the Mazi tea industry to a climax.
Hemp seed tea is suitable for all seasons. Drinking in the summer can cool down the heat and replenish salt, and in the winter, it will warm up and promote metabolism. Generally, tea drinkers do not intend to function, but focus on entertainment. While drinking and tasting, chatting about the sea, life gains and losses, throwing away the back of the mind, is also a realm.
The most famous place for Mazi tea is Yaoshui. Yaoshui is my neighbor and a veritable tea town. Yaoshui people are known for their hospitality, and I have not only heard hearsay, but also immersed myself in the scene and feasted on it. If you are lucky enough to go to Yaoshui as a guest, I am not good at boasting, single mellow hemp tea, it will definitely make you drunk.
