Chapter 042 Longjing Tea
"Yeah...that's great..." Ling Ling clapped her hands excitedly and kept jumping.
In this way, the first tenant of the yard was born.
Ling Ling didn't hide it from me. She now believed that I really didn't know the price of the scenic spot, so she told me everything.
It turns out that renting a house in Hangzhou is already difficult, and it is even more difficult in scenic spots. Even an ordinary private house costs two to three thousand a month.
Moreover, people who want to rent houses in scenic spots are those who pursue quality of life. These people are not short of money. Judging from the environment of the yard, even if I charge 10,000 a month, the supply will exceed demand.
Because many people even stay in private rooms in hotels in scenic spots for a long time in order to stay healthy in scenic spots, the environment of the courtyard is not comparable to those of hotels.
Ling Ling left happily. She couldn't wait to move into the yard, so she went to move her luggage.
After Ling Ling left, the slovenly old man also turned around and entered the inner courtyard. Before leaving, he patted me on the shoulder.
"You can make up your own mind about the next one... She has no ill intentions..."
There was something in the old Taoist's words that made me confused. Just when I was confused, a white woman walked over.
The woman was wearing a long white dress with a cyan ribbon tied around her waist. The moment I saw the woman, I felt a surge in my heart.
Because she was wearing the same ancient costume as Qian'er back then.
This woman is not a human being!
I stared closely at the woman. She was exquisite, beautiful, and very charming. She looked a little weak, but she had a stubbornness to her.
The woman walked to the yard, looked at me without saying a word, and looked at each other quietly with our eyes facing each other.
They are a pair of extremely bright eyes, but they are somewhat melancholy. Just one look at them makes people feel distressed.
"Who are you……"
I spoke softly, and the woman's appearance made me feel no danger at all.
"Sir, help me!" The woman looked at me and suddenly knelt down.
I hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out my hand to help the woman up, but found that the woman's hands were extremely cold. Her hands were bone-chilling in the hot summer.
"You...you..." I quickly stepped back and looked at the woman. At that moment, I almost felt like my soul was being frozen.
"Master, don't be alarmed, I have no ill intentions..."
The woman was still kneeling on the ground and refused to get up.
"Who are you?" I looked at the woman in confusion.
"Qiantang Su Xiaoxiao..." The woman looked at me and said softly.
"Su...Su...Su Xiaoxiao!" I looked at the woman with wide eyes.
It is rumored that Su Xiaoxiao's soul lingers after his death and often appears among the flowers beside Xiling Bridge. Is the legend true?
Su Xiaoxiao lived in the Six Dynasties period, more than a thousand years ago. A famous singer during the Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, she often rode an oil-walled carriage. Many literati in the past dynasties have praised her, including Bai Juyi and Li He in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Dai in the Ming Dynasty,
In modern times, Cao Juren and Yu Qiuyu both wrote poems and essays about Su Xiaoxiao. Some writers believe that Su Xiaoxiao is the "Chinese version of La Traviata".
Su Xiaoxiao was good at writing and poetry since she was a child, and her literary talent was outstanding. Unfortunately, her parents died when she was young, and she stayed at her aunt's house by the Xiling Bridge in Qiantang. Although she was a singer, she knew how to love herself and did not follow the crowd. Su Xiaoxiao
I loved the landscape of the West Lake very much, so I made a self-made oil-walled cart and traveled around the lakeside mountains. One day, while walking along the lake embankment, I met the young Ruan Yu. They fell in love at first sight and formed a good relationship. But soon Ruan Yu became an official in Beijing and his father sent him
People came to urge him to return. There was no news from Ruan Yu after farewell. Su Xiaoxiao’s affection was unforgettable and she was missed all the time.
Su Xiaoxiao sympathized with the scholar Bao Ren's poverty and donated generously to help him go to Beijing to take the exam. Later, Su Xiaoxiao was framed.
Bao Ren was imprisoned and fell seriously ill. Before he died, he told the people waiting around him: "I have nothing to ask for, I just want to bury my bones in Xiling after my death." Bao Ren, who passed the exam, later followed Su Xiaoxiao's instructions to "bury the bones".
Xiling", he funded the construction of a tomb beside the Xiling Bridge, and set up a stone tablet in front of the tomb with the title "The Tomb of Su Xiaoxiao in Qiantang".
The story of Su Xiaoxiao first appeared in "New Odes of Yutai", and there are also related records in "Yuefu Guangti". It is said that she was a famous prostitute in the Southern Qi Dynasty, beautiful and talented. In some local historical records and legends, operas
Su Xiaoxiao will be further interpreted into an image with full personality.
At this moment, two familiar figures walked in from outside the gate. It was Jin Lei and Ruan Lina.
"Why are you two here?" I looked at them curiously.
"The tenants are already here, how can we not come?"
Only then did I understand how could Ye Heping be so kind as to give me this huge manor. He gave me this manor because he wanted to corrupt me with these material wealth so that I could be tied to his chariot.
Driven by him, secondly, he uses this place as a secret base. The case of the beauty appraiser will probably be solved here.
"Haha, I knew that old boy Ye Heping wouldn't take advantage of me so much." I didn't feel so surprised. "If he wasn't holding something back, it would be abnormal."
Jin Lei rolled her eyes at me. I knew the consequences of saying bad things about Ye Heping in front of her, but she held it back. It was probably because Ye Heping repeatedly warned her not to do anything to me. So, no matter what I said,
She didn't dare to mess with anything.
"Things are really getting more and more exciting. First, Wang Zhaojun was resurrected, and now there is Su Xiaoxiao, oh no, and you, a flower..." I realized that Jin Lei might not know about her previous life.
It was Hua Mulan, so I swallowed back the words mid-sentence to avoid any unnecessary ramifications.
"What am I?" Jin Lei asked.
"It's nothing, just be a flower girl."
"Asshole!"
"Hey, forget it sister, the professor said you must not have a grudge with him. You must obey his command in all actions and don't act out of emotion!"
"But!" Jin Lei was furious and dodged her foot fiercely.
"A little impatience will ruin a big plan!" Ruan Lina advised.
"Look, your sister is still sane." I blinked at Ruan Lina.
"Humph, don't get too proud too early." Jin Lei rolled her eyes at me, "We'll see."
"We'll see."
I snorted coldly and said, "You two beauties are here, let's come in and talk."
As soon as we entered and sat down, Ruan Lina took out a bag and put it on the coffee table. When she opened it, she found a set of exquisite purple clay teapots and two Yue kiln celadon tea jars.
"This is..." I looked confused.
"Drink tea!" Ruan Lina put the teapots one by one, brewed three cups of tea skillfully, and handed it to me.
I took the tea cup doubtfully and asked, "You're not really here to drink tea, are you?"
"Try it first, this is the authentic West Lake Longjing."
West Lake Longjing tea has a long history, which can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China. Lu Yu, the famous tea saint at that time, wrote the world's first tea monograph "The Book of Tea", which mentioned the tea production in Tianzhu and Lingyin Temples in Hangzhou.
Records. The name of West Lake Longjing tea began in the Song Dynasty, was heard in the Yuan Dynasty, became popular in the Ming Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. In the historical evolution process of more than a thousand years, West Lake Longjing Tea has gone from unknown to famous, from a homely drink after meals for the common people to a common drink for emperors and generals.
Xiang's tribute, from a famous tea of the Chinese nation to a famous product that has gone global, has begun its glorious period.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, the Longjing tea area had initially taken shape. At that time, "Xianglin Tea" from Xianglin Cave in Lower Tianzhu, "Baiyun Tea" from Baiyun Peak in Upper Tianzhu and "Baoyun Tea" from Geling Baoyun Mountain had already
It is listed as a tribute. The eminent monk Biancai of the Northern Song Dynasty retired to his hometown. It was also the place where he and Su Dongpo and other literary giants drank tea and recited poems at the Shousheng Temple at the foot of Longjing Shifeng Mountain. Su Dongpo said that "the two flags are new under the Baiyun Peak, and the greasy green is fresh in the spring of Grain Rain".
He wrote a poem praising Longjing tea, and handwritten a plaque such as "Old Dragon Well", which still exists in the Hugong Temple of Shousheng Temple and on the hanging rock at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Shibake Royal Tea Garden.
West Lake Longjing is one of the top ten famous teas in China. It is a green tea. It is produced in the mountains surrounding West Lake Longjing Village in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, hence its name. It has a history of more than 1,200 years. When Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited West Lake in Hangzhou, he praised West Lake Longjing tea.
The eighteen tea trees in front of Hu Gong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain are named "Imperial Tea". West Lake Longjing tea is divided into grades 1 to 8 according to the appearance and internal quality.
The special West Lake Longjing tea is flat, smooth and straight, with a bright green color, a fresh and clear aroma, a refreshing and mellow taste, and the leaves are delicate and blooming at the bottom. The Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Festival is called Mingqian Longjing, and is also known as Nuerhong, "Outside the Hospital Fenghe Xizi"
Laugh, Longjing daughter is red in the Ming Dynasty." Like West Lake, West Lake Longjing tea is the perfect crystallization of man, nature and culture, and is an important carrier of West Lake regional culture.
West Lake Longjing The word "Longjing" is not only the name of the tea, but also the name of the tea tree species, the name of the village, the name of the well and the name of the temple, which can be said to be "five dragons in one". The origin of Longjing tea is located in the beautiful mountains and peaks surrounding Longjing Village in the southwest of West Lake, Hangzhou
, hence the name "West Lake Longjing Tea". There are three categories of "Longjing Tea" in the West Lake Mountain area: "Shifeng Longjing", "Meiwu Longjing" and "West Lake Longjing". "Shifeng Longjing" is produced in Longjing Village, Shizifeng
, Wengjiashan area, has a sharp and long-lasting aroma, fresh and mellow taste, slightly yellow color, and is commonly known as "brown rice color". "Meiwu Longjing" is produced in Yunqi, Meijiawu area, with a tall and beautiful appearance, flat and smooth, and emerald green color.
The leaves of "West Lake Longjing" are fat and tender, and the taste is not as good as the first two. Among the three categories, "Shifeng Longjing" has the best quality. High-grade "Longjing tea" should be brewed with boiling water at about 85℃. After brewing, the buds and leaves will
The flags are shot together, standing in clusters and interlaced in the cup, the buds and leaves are upright, rising and falling, lifelike.
"Haha, if I guess correctly, the reason why you two came here today should be related to Longjing." I took a sip, and it was indeed fragrant and pleasant.
“Great tea!”
Jin Lei and Ruan Lina looked at each other, as if they were surprised that I could guess this meaning, and then said: "Sure enough!"
"Thank you very much. Professor Ye always likes to talk in roundabout ways. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Look at this." After saying that, Jin Lei handed over another tablet, "This is top-secret information. We can't give you the original copy. You can read it, but you can't take it."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your information."
After saying that, I took the tablet, opened it, and saw a piece of information:
Construction site at No. XX Commercial Street, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.
The discovery and excavation of the large "ship coffin" tombs in Chengdu's commercial street may push the history of Sichuan's civilization to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
"...the entire tomb is southwest-oriented, 53 meters long - 44 meters wide. 17 boat coffins, single wooden coffins, etc. were excavated at the site. It is estimated that the total number of the entire tomb should exceed 30. All the burial tools are made of precious nanmu wood.
It was hewn. There are 4 large ship coffins, the largest of which is 18.8 meters long and 1.4 meters in diameter. The entire tomb is large in scale, with a pit below and a ground building above. The structure is extremely exquisite.
