Chapter 250: Tea and Grain Wine
In fact, when it comes to tea, originally in China, the northern region did not drink much tea. The culture of tea first originated from Shu. During the Han Dynasty, only people from Shu in the world could drink tea. Do you have to read?????
During the Three Kingdoms period of the Later Han Dynasty, there was actually no so-called circulating tea. It was not until the Jin Dynasty that the great families occupied the country's resources and the trend of extravagance and enjoyment spread all over the country, and it was not until that time that tea was developed.
However, the earliest tea was to make tea, which is often seen in some novels that travel through the flow. You should add goat milk, salt and other things to boil it. This is to replenish the salt, iron and other elements you need.
The real thing to start stir-frying and making tea like modern times was that it only took place in the Song Dynasty.
It was only after the Song Dynasty that such modern tea leaves were passed down intact.
Tea itself is also divided into green tea and black tea. Green tea clears the intestines and intestines and improves the mind, and black tea warms the stomach and removes cold.
With the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, black tea was also spread to Europe. The British believed that the most gentlemanly jewelry black tea was passed down at that time, but Jiang Hai himself did not like black tea because he did not like to drink bitter things.
The tea here in Zhangdi is some black tea, but some green tea. These tea trees are almost a hundred years old.
And the young man is still over 10 years old. After all, it is easy to bring tea abroad in recent years. If you want to bring tea trees, just forget it. These things were made by him a long time ago.
"This is the Longjing of West Lake you drink. I also got it from West Lake. This is Biluochun, produced in Dongting Mountain, Taihu Lake, Jiangsu Province, not Dongting-hu. The tea tastes good. This is Maofeng in Huangshan, the best among Maofengs, produced in Taiping County, Anhui Province, and Junshan Silver Needle. It is produced in Dongting Lake in Hunan Province... This is Lu'an melon slices produced in Anhui Province..."
While taking Jiang Hai, Mr. Zhang introduced his tea leaves. For him, these are his treasures.
And in Jiang Hai, these are all treasures!
After following Mr. Zhang, Jiang Hai finished looking at all the tea trees. There are fifteen kinds of tea trees here and more than two hundred.
There are not many types of tea, which shows that Mr. Zhang is not bullshit. He is not many of these tea leaves.
"Then I'll just pull some branches back and plant them." Jiang Hai had spiritual energy, and he was not worried about whether he could plant them. After listening to Mr. Zhang's introduction, Jiang Hai also made up his mind. He didn't know much about tea, but he knew that he used to drink bud tea.
He doesn't like tea that has been roasted until it's completely dried, and he doesn't like fermented tea even more.
So he finally chose to get a little bit of West Lake Longjing and a little bit of Huangshan Maofeng. Then get some Emei bamboo leaf green. Just have these three kinds of tea, black tea, etc. He was not interested in it, even the legendary Chinese tea Dahongpao.
Thinking of this, he stretched his hand directly towards the tea tree in front of him, preparing to take a break and go back to raise it.
But before his hand was stretched over, Mr. Zhang was beaten back.
"You just use your hands to break it. Do you understand you? Forget it, you probably don't understand either. Stay by the side!" After a glance at Jiang Hai, Old Zhang took a deep breath, took a knife from the side, and walked slowly over.
Everyone knows that drinking tea is very troublesome, but in fact, picking tea is also very troublesome.
The techniques and experience of vegetable tea are not discussed for now. The time of picking tea is very particular.
Taking Longjing as an example, the best Longjing is Mingqian Longjing, which is Yuqian Longjing. Then there is the ordinary Longjing.
The temperature has a great impact on Longjing. In the spring tea season, the higher the temperature, the worse the quality of the tea leaves, the lower the temperature, the better the quality. However, it is difficult for the tea leaves to grow. This is a dead end, otherwise there will be no good or bad.
According to the climate and solar terms, tea leaves that grow before the Qingming Festival are so big that they can collect is called Mingqian tea. For such tea leaves, it is good to pick dozens of buds on one plant, so the price is also ridiculously expensive.
Tea that lasts Qingming Festival to before the Guyu Rain is called pre-Rain Tea. The quality of this kind of tea is slightly worse than that of the Ming Dynasty, but it is much better than ordinary tea. The vegetables picked after the Guyu Rain are called spring tea or new tea, and the taste is average.
Of course, now this tea is in the United States. To be precise, Qingming Festival and Grain Rain are over.
Nowadays, tea is not that valuable or delicious, but Mr. Zhang is still fiddling with these things very preciously.
Finally, under Jiang Hai's command, Jiang Hai got thirteen branches, including six of them from Longjing. He also liked to drink this tea, and followed his father. His father got a lot of Longjing tea trees from China at the beginning, but most of them died in the first year of transplantation. After so many tea trees, in addition to retaining some in California, there are only some here.
But after all, there is stock, so the quantity is quite large, so I gave Jiang Hai more.
Mao Feng in Huangshan gave three branches and Emei Zhuyeqing gave four branches. Now he was reluctant to give them. When he was talking about the beef business just now, he didn't see him feeling so distressed. It can be seen that these things are really the flesh of his heart.
After getting the branches out, Mr. Zhang immediately took Jiang Hai away. Of course, before leaving, Jiang Hai also took away a bag of seeds from oil beans and some kiwi branches, and was about to go back to plant them. Although he didn't care too much about these two things, he wouldn't leave without leaving.
With a look of great sorrow, Mr. Zhang took Jiang Hai to a room on the third floor.
As soon as he opened the door of this room, Jiang Hai smelled a strong smell of wine. When he looked up, he saw that there were such a large plastic bucket in front of him. Needless to say, it was necessary to know that the wine must be contained in it.
Needless to say, it is important that Mr. Zhang helped him get food and wine.
"Boy, you know that these wines are not easy to get. Real grain wine is not easy to make in China now, let alone abroad. These are all picked out from an old friend of mine. I just transported them from San Francisco on the third day after I finished talking to you. Take them and exchange them for two barrels." Looking at the wine in front of him, Mr. Zhang swallowed. These are pure grain wines, all of which are 70 degrees small roasts. The taste may not be as good as those packaged wines, but if they were used to soak in wine, he couldn't help swallowing and his eyes lit up when he thought of this.
"No problem!" Looking at the wine in front of him, Jiang Hai was also happy. Today was a great harvest.
He had a total of seventeen deer whips. He was preparing to soak four jars of wine, two in each, and nine more were left. Today he brought five of them and could bring five buckets of wine back. Thinking of this, he walked into the room.
Mr. Zhang is still very particular. The wine barrels in the room are not ordinary small wine barrels, but can hold 50 kilograms of barrels.
He can soak a jar in one bucket. He gets ten barrels back and then prepares it slowly. If it really doesn't work, it's good to soak another bucket.
He just asked someone to customize the glass jars for wine soaking, so there was no problem.
There is a piece of tape on top of each barrel of wine, which says in Chinese what is brewed with this wine.
Basically all kinds of wine are available, including sorghum, corn, rice, glutinous rice, barley, wheat, millet, barley... they are all here, but Jiang Hai is not stupid either. Whether it is rice or glutinous rice, they are all rice wine, and this wine cannot be soaked.
Barley is produced in the western region. Jiang Hai has never drunk it, but he didn't know if it can be soaked, so he didn't take it anymore. In the end, he chose three wines, including sorghum, Jue rice, and barley, four barrels of sorghum and three barrels of the other.
A total of ten barrels of wine were brought into his car with the help of the servants in Zhang's hometown.
Thanks to Jiang Hai's favorite car, if he really drove a car over, even his Rolls-Royce would probably not be able to hold it. After getting these ten barrels of wine, Jiang Hai brought the branches of tea and the like.
At the same time, a pack of things was taken from the car, opened it first and then stuffed it into Mr. Zhang's hand.
"Uncle Zhang, take care of yourself." After seeing Mr. Zhang take this thing, a smile flashed across his face, and Jiang Hai also said with a smile.
"Well, I'm so old, it's normal to drink these, but do you have to drink them at a young age?" But is Mr. Zhang so easy to deal with? Hearing Jiang Hai's words, he raised his eyebrows and said to Jiang Hai.
"I'm curious, can't I be curious?" Jiang Hai couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he heard his words. He was really an old man who refused to suffer losses.
But no matter what, he was very happy when he got what Jiang Hai wanted. After talking to Mr. Zhang, Jiang Hai climbed into the car, moved the engine and ran home quickly. After returning home, he asked Robbins and the others to come and help and put the ten barrels of wine into a room he had placed alone. Robbins and the others were curious about what this was, but when Jiang Hai opened the sprinkler lid, they were not curious, although Robbins and the others also liked wine.
But they like the kind of foreign wine that smells fragrant and drinks fragrant, such as the food wine like Huaxia, which rushes from beginning to end. They are not used to drinking it, so they can only retreat. After putting the wine down, Jiang Hai specially opened a piece of land behind his house.
He also used a shelf to build a rain-proof and snow-proof defense cover. Then he inserted the tea leaves he had brought from Mr. Zhang and other plants. Jiang Hai put a lot of money this time, for fear that these tea trees would not grow, so he deliberately injected a piece of scales of spiritual energy into each tea. Compared with tea leaves, kiwis and beans would be much more abundant.
Jiang Hai only injected two pieces of spiritual energy into it, and handed it over to Filimon and asked his wife to plant it. (To be continued.)
