Chapter 480 Oolong Tea

Huayuelou raised her head and glanced at Zhuang Qiu angrily.

A big step followed.

"Snapped!"

Huayuelou lay on the car directly.

Zhuang Qiu didn't say a word, and pulled the person up, like dragging garbage.

Huayuelou jumped up immediately after getting into the car.

"Master, my limited edition custom-made clothes! You are going to die!"

Huayuelou patted her clothes distressedly, it was scratched in several places.

Huayuelou couldn't even care about the pain of falling.

Huayuelou supported her head and looked at Huayuelou and said.

"It's all right now, the clothes are completely broken, and you don't have to worry about getting dirty in a while."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Wang in front also got into the car and shouted to the back.

"Sit down!"

As soon as the words fell, the tricycle made a roar.

Then the blue tricycle drove out of the town following Huayuelou's cursing voice.

The car drove on the road for about an hour before slowly turning into a town called "Wanjia Town".

The car stopped slowly.

"Here we are, going up from here, it's basically all oolong tea."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Wang went to the back of the car to pick up the person, and then said.

"Go up and let Wan'er take you around with Old Zhao. I have to go to the county to do some errands, and I will come back to pick you up later."

Zhuang Qiu thanked him again and again, and seeing Uncle Wang driving away again, the crowd slowly lifted their feet up the mountain.

On the way up the mountain, Huayuelou was still swearing non-stop, but Zhuang Qiu ignored him and Ye Wan'er and walked ahead.

"Actually, we still drink more oolong tea on weekdays. It seems that black tea and green tea have been used more in the production of other products in recent years, and have become a kind of auxiliary material."

Zhuang Qiu couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he heard what Ye Wan'er said.

"Oolong tea, oolong tea, for this little oolong tea, I tore my clothes. The oolong tea in the whole tea mountain may not be worth my clothes."

Zhuang Qiu stopped when he heard Huayuelou complaining behind him, and turned his head to look over.

"Hey, don't be so awesome. The rare varieties of oolong tea are very expensive. It's really not something you can do with just one piece of clothing."

"OK, Zhuang Qiu's small class is about to start."

"I have a hunch that Boss Hua is about to accept Master Zhuang's baptism again."

"So, what exactly is oolong tea?"

"I also said that I was very confused. Now I only know black tea and white tea. Is there a difference between green tea and oolong tea?"

"Don't you remember the six types of tea introduced earlier? Green tea and oolong tea are different types, so it can be seen that they are different."

……

Ye Wan'er looked at Zhuang Qiu with a smile and said.

"So, you even know a lot about oolong tea, don't you?"

Zhuang Qiu winked mischievously at Ye Wan'er and said.

"Just know a little bit."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Qiu said.

"Oolong tea is not green tea, but green tea and semi-fermented tea. There are many varieties, and it is a unique tea category in my country."

"What is the unique tea category in our country?"

Huayuelou said.

"This kind of tea is basically something unique to our country from its invention to its later development. There is no place to memorize it. In fact, you always thought that the oriental leaves you mentioned before were tea. But if you strictly What I said was actually about oolong tea."

Zhuang Qiu continued to explain.

"Oolong tea is a high-quality tea produced after picking, withering, shaking, frying, rolling, baking and other processes. Oolong tea evolved from tribute tea dragon balls and phoenix cakes in Song Dynasty. It was created in 1725 (Qing Yongzheng Years) before and after. After tasting, the fragrance remains on the teeth and cheeks, and the aftertaste is sweet and fresh."

"Let me briefly tell you about the historical development of oolong tea and you will understand."

After speaking, Zhuang Qiu smiled and said to the live broadcast room.

"It's understandable to say that other types of tea are praised by others, but if someone tells you that oolong tea is good, you can just smack them. Haha."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Qiu said.

"The predecessor of oolong tea - Beiyuan tea. Oolong tea originated in Fujian and has a history of more than 1000 years. The formation and development of oolong tea must first be traced back to Beiyuan tea. Beiyuan tea is the earliest tribute tea in Fujian, and it is also the most famous after the Song Dynasty. In history, there are more than ten works introducing the production and brewing of Beiyuan tea. Beiyuan is the area around Fenghuang Mountain in Jianou, Fujian, and tea has been produced in the late Tang Dynasty.”

"Silently take out my little notebook and write it down."

"Look, what did I say, Boss Hua is about to be baptized by Lord Zhuang again?"

"Hahaha, seeing Boss Hua's dazed expression at this moment, I'm dying of laughter."

"Boss Hua said, can you just tell me how much it's worth?"

"Upstairs, you are real!"

……

""Min Tong Zhi" records that at the end of Tang Dynasty, Jian'an Zhang Tinghui hired workers to open up mountain tea planting in Fenghuang Mountain. At first, it was a paste tea. In the second year of Song Taizong's Taiping Xingguo (977), Longfeng tea was produced. After Song Zhenzong (998) Transform Xiaotuan tea and become the world-famous dragon and phoenix cake."

"At that time, Cai Xiang, who was a transit official in Fujian and supervised the production of tribute tea, especially praised Beiyuan tea. He said in his "Tea Record" written in 1051 that "the taste of tea is mainly sweet and smooth, but the Phoenix Mountain in Beiyuan has been baked continuously. Produced by those who taste good. "

"The main finished product of Beiyuan tea belongs to the Long Tuan Feng Cake. Its picking process is as described in the tea-picking poems sent by Huangfu Ran to Lu Yu: "Far away from the upper cliff, the spring breeze is warm on the cloth leaves, and the full basket is slanting in the daytime. "

"It takes a day to pick a basket of fresh leaves. The leaves are shaken and piled up in the basket, and steaming can only be started at night. This kind of backlogged raw material has unintentionally turned red, and the buds and leaves are enzymatically The oxidized part turns purple or brown, and its essence is semi-fermented, which is the category of so-called oolong tea.”

"Therefore, there is some scientific basis for saying that Beiyuan tea is the predecessor of oolong tea."

"Wuyishan tea, after Beiyuan tea, gained the status of tribute tea in Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, and achieved development."

"The oolong tea we are talking about now is a kind of tea made by Anxi people following the method of making tea from Wuyi Mountain and improving the technology."

"Oolong tea was created around 1725 (Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty), Fujian "Anxi County Chronicle" records: "Anxi people first invented oolong tea in the third year of Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty, and then spread it to northern Fujian and Taiwan. "

"According to historical data, in 1862 Fuzhou set up a tea store for oolong tea. In 1866, Taiwan oolong tea began to be exported. Now the largest producing area of ​​oolong tea in the country is Anxi, Fujian. Named as "Hometown of Chinese Oolong Tea (Famous Tea)"."
