"Mo Dao is intoxicating for people to be fine wine, and the aroma of tea is also intoxicating." Tea blooms when it meets water, water is fragrant because of tea, good water brews good tea, and good tea needs good water.
Every morning, after sending my son home from school, I would brew a cup of pure Pu'er tea with celadon cups, so that the tea rhyme produced by the fusion of the rising air and the tea aroma filled the room, and the tea aroma that came to the nose always made people feel extremely comfortable and comfortable.
Falling in love with tea is a fun and fun thing!
Xishuangbanna ancient six tea mountains of Yiwu, Barbarian Brick, Youle, Yibang, Mangzhi, Gedeng Mountain Tea, is the treasure of tea people. The tea produced by each tea mountain has a different throat rhyme, one mountain and one taste, and three or five friends leisurely taste the "ancient tree single plant" Pu'er tea at the top of the mountain, and it will be "tea drunk"!
Mingqian spring tea is as expensive as gold, although the price of tea is high, but people who love tea do not hesitate to spend money.
Leaving the hometown of tribute tea, Yi Wu returned to Chengjiang, the hometown of Yuxi in central Yunnan, to settle down, and it was inevitable to search for the Mingqian tea storage residence of the ancient six tea mountains.
There are relatives and friends in the house, only good tea respects it. Flowing water tea trays, cups, tea knives, tweezers, tea leaks, tea saucers, tea mats... The vessels used to make tea are properly prepared. Hi raw tea or cooked tea, after asking, I boiled water to prepare tea. Use purple teapots for cooked tea, and celadon cups for raw tea, and arrange them one by one; Flushing, washing tea, warming cups, smelling incense, serving tea... Respectfully, although it is only a home tea tasting, the tea ceremony still needs to be followed.
Respecting tea is the way of hospitality. Whether it is a poor or rich home, visitors should be greeted with tea, which is the fine traditional etiquette of our Chinese nation.
Good tea needs to be brewed in good water.
The water of the Chengjiang River in my hometown must be an excellent water for making tea. Fuxian Lake is a type of water quality with turquoise waves, green coriander waves, and glass; The clear and quiet mountain spring water flowing from the East and West Dragon Ponds is all excellent drinking water; There are also those brands of barreled mountain spring water produced in Kunming and sold in the Chengjiang market, which are alkaline hard water. These slightly more alkaline water, boiled and brewed tea soup, golden yellow and the ancient six major tea mountain origin of the water brewing is consistent, but after the tea soup is introduced, the taste is still different. Bitterness, astringency, sweetness, and rawness are slightly the same, but the throat rhyme and the feeling of spring are not obvious.
One day, from Xishuangbanna to Chengjiang, he brought back two barrels of "Milan Mountain Spring" produced by The Elder Brother Of Yanni, and brewed the ancient tree Pu'er tea of Yiwu Wind Village with Milan Mountain Spring, and after the tea soup was introduced, all the tea rhymes swirled in the mouth. In the swirling of camphor and the mellow and salivating of my throat, I seem to transform into a hummingbird, opening my wings lightly; Flying to Banna, flying into the yiwu ancient tea garden full of mist, full of spring, and overflowing with tea fragrance, soaring freely among the ancient tea forests that have survived for thousands of years, and soaring freely in the densely forested primeval forest in the mountains...
Xishuangbanna, a tropical rainforest, is a multi-ethnic tourist resort. The people there are simple, the people are warm, kind and hospitable, and it is a paradise with beautiful mountains, beautiful water, and more beautiful people.
In the years of Banna's guest house, tea, wine tasting, chatting, I liked to go to the Milan Mountain Spring Water Factory where Big Brother Dani was fat. The Yanni are a branch of the Hani ethnic group, and among the ethnic minorities in Banna, if the Dai population is the first, then the Yanni population should be the second. The mountain spring water plant of the fat brother is located next to the 213 National Highway less than 13 kilometers away from the famous scenic spot Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, because his wife is called Milan, so the mountain spring water produced is named "Milan Mountain Spring".
In 2009, the Xishuangbanna agricultural reclamation system implemented a reform plan to integrate the system into the locality, management into the society, and the economy into the market, gradually implemented the autonomy of farm production and operation, and promoted a series of reforms of the household contract management responsibility system. At that time, Big Brother Gen was the captain of a company in the second branch of the state-run Mengxing Farm, one of the top ten farms in Banna. After the horn of reform sounded, Gen Fat responded to the call of the farm, resigned as the captain, no longer received the farm's fixed salary, and took the lead in contracting dozens of acres of rubber land in accordance with the policy, starting his career path.
2011, 2012, 2013 these three years, is the golden age of Banna rubber economy, the price of rubber per kilogram of more than 30 yuan makes the rubber people ecstatic, eyebrows smile. The glue cut out by the rubber people every day is filled with two rubber buckets, hung on the back seat of the motorcycle, coiled around the steep and rugged mountain road to pull out the rubber forest, sold to the rubber factory, and has an income of two hundred and thirty thousand dollars a day. The jiao people began to become rich, and some Of the Yanni people bought cars and built villas and bungalows; But there are also some people, when they are resting from work, they gather in groups of three or five, seven or eight people, and start a "baccarat" with a strong Dai nostalgia complex!
Big Brother Gen fat is a knowledgeable Yanni, and he thinks about the future. When others ate, drank, juggled and gambled, he took his family to travel around the country to broaden his horizons, visit and inspect mineral water factories, and learn the strategy of building a factory. In 2014, he raised 3 million yuan to start building a water plant.
Nowadays, the price of rubber is not low, the market of 8 or 9 yuan per kilogram, many farm workers who are contracted to households, can only rely on rubber tapping to maintain basic living expenses. Some young people subcontracted the contracted rubber land to foreigners, gave up rubber tapping themselves, and worked in factories in developed coastal cities such as Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, and Shanghai, so that they could earn more money than cutting rubber at home.
Gen Fat Big Brother has a family of four and has a son and a daughter. In addition to the rubber field contracted by the farm, he also bought some rubber forest, nearly 300 acres of rubber forest are asked foreigners to cook for him, he and his family have never cut glue for a day, and they run their own water plant wholeheartedly.
Milan is a hard-working, kind, wise, and simple sister-in-law of Dani. The name of Milan was taken from the father's generation, and the name is like a flower, a flower like a person; Tingting Yuli, graceful and graceful. After reading the photo album of her beautiful youth, her person is really like a Milan flower blooming in the valley of the rainforest.
Every time she went to the fat brother's house to drink tea and eat wine, she was busy in the production line of the water plant, washing barrels, disinfecting, filling water, sealing, packaging, and getting on the car... "Sister-in-law, rest for a while, it's time to eat"! When we called her, she would stop what she was doing.
The Tanis did not have a surname, and children were named after the last name of their father's name. The daughter of the fat brother of Rugen was named Fat Zong, and the son was named Fat An. Another example is that the father's name is Piao Ze, the eldest son is named one, and the second son is named second; What about the eldest grandson? Just call it once!
The Yanni are an undocumented people, but their language is particularly feminine, and when they eat and drink happily, they sing beautiful songs in the Dani language, which is always fascinating. Today's Yanni people are basically Sinicized, after going to school, they have a standard Chinese surname, and they use Chinese names to the outside world, and they are still called Bynni in the clan, which is said to be Yanni. If you are walking into the Yanni cottage for the first time, you will not understand what they say in the Yanni dialect!
Milan, dicotyledonous plants, partridge flower family, leafy green flowers, strong aroma, extractable fragrance, is an edible flower. The fat brother named the water he produced "Milan Mountain Spring", which is derived from the name of the sister-in-law Milan, which means that one is to love his wife as he loves water, and the other is the babbling mountain spring water of the rainforest valley, just like the Milan flower, fresh, mellow, beautiful, soft and moist.
The roots are not fat, the age is fifty, the height is not high, and often wear a shirt as white as snow. Like most Tannis, their dark, shiny skin reflects their industrious, thick, simple, unpretentious personality.
Genchu is a shrewd and capable big brother.
The water plant is his home, the home is his water plant, the water plant is built under the building where he lives, and the residence and the water plant are connected. The gable of the water plant is backed by the flowing Mengxing River, the side of the door is facing the highway, and the 213 National Highway winds along his water plant, leading to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden in Menglun Town, and to the county seats of Yiwu and Mengla County, the hometown of Tribute Tea. The water plant is surrounded by all kinds of flowers, plants, fruits and trees, and walking into the fat water plant is like walking into a corner of the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Jackfruit, mangoes, grapefruit, plantains, bananas, melons, olives, sweet horns, egg trees... More than 10 kinds of fruit trees tightly surrounded the water plant.
When the fruit of these fruit trees hangs on the branches, when it comes to the harvest season, the house is full of fresh fruits, which makes people dizzy; Even if you eat with your stomach open, you can't finish eating, and most of them are sent to friends and family. Milan in front of the room, roses, white flowers, golden phoenixes, bauhinia flowers, cannon flowers, plantain flowers... Spread over the eaves. Edible herbs, golden mustard, asahi peppers, sour soup dishes, wild eggplant... After the front and back of the house, when the morning fog is thick, the water plant is as beautiful as a garden wonderland!
The source of the pure and sweet Milan mountain spring is taken from the state-owned forest reserve, the babbling mountain spring water of the original forest valley.
On weekends, in leisure time, or when guests visit, fat brothers will call me: "Brother, got a flower-faced dog (a wild animal that resembles a domestic cat), there are bamboo rats, dried chamois, sika deer, snake fish, bearded fish, and Mansong's ancient tree tea, fast, come and drink tea and eat wine"! Listen, there is Mansong's ancient tree tribute tea, then must not be drunk and drunk tea is drunk? What else was there, I immediately drove to the fat brother's Milan Mountain Spring Water Factory.
Tasting tea Mansong ancient tree tribute tea, throat rhyme spring, sweet, sweet, orchid incense with honey and churning fruity smell of salivating throat, overflowing incense for a long time refuses to disperse, tea gas all over the body, sweat, the whole person fluttering, is not tea drunk!
Tea out. Steaming game, river fish, steamed buns, red meat, blood wang, local chicken porridge, lemon cold mix chicken shreds, sansel vanilla, wild garlic, stir-fried dong melon pork, colorful glutinous rice... A large table full of pristine delicacies has long been laid out. Every time a guest comes from afar, it is the fat brother who is in charge of the kitchen. "Ladies and gentlemen, let's have dinner!" the fat brother washed his hands while shouting and drinking from the guests to sit down.
No wine, no table, less than a thousand glasses of wine per confidant. The Tanni is a hospitable people. Banna Maotai - self-examination wine filled with wine glasses, wine order to open the meal: "Duo, Ser, Ser, Ser!" As soon as three high-pitched roars passed, the wine in the guest's cup must have bottomed out.
After three rounds of drinking, the fat brother was slightly drunk and poetic, and he did not know whether Li Bai or Wang Wei had already possessed: "Don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon... Advise the jun to make a glass of wine, the west out of the Yang Guan no reason people... A pot of wine between flowers, drinking alone without blind dates... When you wake up, you are alone, when you are drunk, you are scattered... Mo Xiao Farmhouse Lajiu Hun... Yi Bang Yu Le unlimited wine, Mansong Gong tea is full of fragrance, drunken killing Menglun Long Qiu Qiu..." Fat Brother wrote his own self-directed recitation of verses in Mandarin in a tone of Yanni, which caused the guests to laugh continuously.
Fat brother loves tea and loves wine. Mingqian spring tea on the market, got some Menghai Ban Zhang ancient tree single pearl, or Yi Wu, Xiangming's mountain head Pu'er tea, must call me to taste; The botanical garden and surrounding enterprises and institutions sent water back, tired, naturally called me, asked me to accompany him to drink a few cups, relieve fatigue. I had never seen him get drunk in years of dating.
Fat Brother is a self-disciplined, hard-working, humorous, funny, and intelligent Dani.
In the water plant of the fat big brother, in such an environment where the water is babbling, the flowers and fruits are fragrant, and the poetry and painting are freehand; Tea and wine tasting in such a beautiful, leisurely, and comfortable environment are really leisurely, happy, and the gods are also envious!
The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water.
Good tea uses good water, wine is like character, and tea tasting is also tasteful.
The friendship of the world, like the fat "Milan Mountain Spring" of big brother Yanni, is really sweet!
