Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 615 Tea tasting
"No, no, you can't even afford middle-class ones, and you don't know what high-class ones are. But from the perspective of a friend, I'll personally give you twenty bolts of purple silk, which are nothing at all."

Willow is very generous, so generous that Oscar Buddy is a little startled, and there is always a conspiracy in it.

Getting such an expensive gift for no reason frightened him.

Willow said to the translator: "I tell you, their purple dye uses shells from the deep sea. Don't tell me it's bad. You tell him, I'll treat him to the real noble taste. Then tell him, let him students are here to learn Chinese for me.”

The translator accurately translated Liu Mu's words, and didn't mention any dyes.

Datang's purple is made of grass as a raw material, and the cost is thousands of times lower than that of shells.

The Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchant Association made sufficient preparations one day in advance, and borrowed two sets of the famous town kiln tea sets from the top. These are not for sale from the famous kilns.

"Treasure Cup!" Oscar Buddy exclaimed when he saw the tea set on the table.

The first European cup was passed to the Western Roman Empire during the Western Han Dynasty.

Porcelain could not be fired in Europe before the [-]th century. The reason is that porcelain stone seems to be only available in southern China, and another material, kaolin, requires a secondary formula, plus feldspar, quartz, etc.

Another reason is that refining porcelain requires a furnace temperature of more than [-] degrees, which was simply impossible in medieval Europe.

Liu Mu smiled and sat down, gave the president of the Jiangnan Tea Merchants Association a look, and immediately a set of tea sets and boxes were delivered to Oscar Buddy, and Liu Mu said: "The set you see with your eyes is Absolutely not as a gift, I have less than ten sets of top porcelain of this level in Datang."

A layman like Oscar Buddy can tell the difference between the two sets.

However, Liu Mu would not use the most top-notch porcelain to make tea for him. If the old Ao accidentally broke one of these things, Liu Mu would not be able to pay for it.

The first brew is not Mingqian Longjing, but honey pomelo green tea boiled and then cooled.

"This, this is the most wonderful water I've ever drank in my life."

Liu Mu snapped his fingers, and a tea girl immediately began to make tea. The second brew was black tea from the Fujian region of later generations, and then added milk and rock sugar.

Oscar Buddy screamed, he couldn't even describe the glass of jewel-colored liquid in front of him.

"There is no most beautiful, only more beautiful." Liu Mu signaled the translator to pass on his words to the other party, and then Liu Mu glanced sideways at the president of the Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchants Association, and the president gave Liu Mu a reassuring look.

Soon, the chairman of Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchants Association personally presented a small wooden box carefully carved.

The tea girl brewed another cup, but didn't add anything, and put her hands in front of Oscar Buddy.

Oscar Buddy looked sideways at Liu Mu. Although he didn't understand the language, he was the No.1 around the Patriarch after all, and he had a lot of knowledge. He could feel the expression of the man who was holding the tea just now. Piety at the time of prayer.

Holding the small cup with both hands, he slowly poured the tea into his mouth.

Liu Mu took a deep breath, three years, it took three full years, countless tea masters and tea farmers worked hard, and finally reproduced the world's most popular demeanor.

Even if this tea does not belong to the Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchant Association, it still makes every tea connoisseur feel respect.

"The most popular in the world, no matter you understand or don't understand my words, this cup of tea represents the queen of tea, which can no longer be measured by coins. This is the treasure of my Tang tea culture."

The Persian translation of the Ministry of Rites is different from the translation of later generations, and it is not just someone who knows foreign languages.

He himself was a man of great knowledge.

He understood Liu Mu's words, and he tried his best to show the Chinese tea culture and the meaning of this cup of tea in Persian.

Oscar Buddy was fascinated when he heard this, he had already seen the prosperity of the magical eastern kingdom.Such a great country must have a profound civilization, and he listened to every word with a devout heart.

The number one red in the world is definitely not in vain.

In the [-]th century AD, the British stole some tea trees and tea branches.Then there are Ceylon red and Darjeeling red.

When it comes to black tea, Keemun Hong deserves to be the most popular in the world.

Oscar Buddy chatted with the translator of the etiquette department for a full quarter of an hour. During this time, [-] kinds of refreshments brought this cup of tea to a new level. Willow is the refreshment selected according to the preferences of Europeans, especially the cream muffins that made Oscar Buddy feels like a country boy from a poor area.

There is no such delicious dim sum in the Byzantine palace.

Finally, the translator and Oscar Buddy stopped the discussion about tea, and the translator told Liu Mu: "My son-in-law, he said that his soul has been sublimated, but he is just a little puzzled. Since this cup is the queen of tea, is there any emperor in the tea?" ?”

"Tell him that he may not be able to taste it, but I still plan to let him taste it."

After the translator answered, Liu Mu said again: "Tell him what it means to be rewarded with all hardships, and what it means to be a Taoist. This is a kind of practice and a kind of comprehension."

"Xiaguan likes green tea very much. Although I dare not say that I have studied it deeply, I have some experience."

Liu Mu nodded to the president of the Jiangnan Dongdao Tea Merchant Association: "It's your turn, the emperor of tea."

The president of this cup of tea merchants association didn't even let the tea girl come, he wanted to do it himself, he wanted to show the limit of Xueqian Longjing, so Liu Mu gave him the name of the emperor of Shifeng Longjing tea, he Even if he died immediately, he would still smile at Jiuquan.

Liu Mu said in a low voice, "Whether it's Qimenhong or Longjing, they haven't reached the ultimate level, so don't be proud."

The president of the Tea Merchant Association didn't answer, he was meditating right now.

Tea is already part of Tao.

Regarding tea, there have been several Taoist celebrities who have written the tea scriptures, and based on Chinese civilization, they have written their inner understanding.

Meditation is the most important part before making tea.

The tea is good, the translator from the Ministry of Etiquette said it better, even if the green tea is not suitable for Oscar Buddy's eating habits, he still tastes it seriously, and appreciates the aftertaste of the bitter aftertaste.

Soon, Liu Mu borrowed part of others beside the garden in Hangzhou.

Oscar Buddy and his students live here and start a series of learning Chinese.Li Shentong also found nearly a hundred young people with outstanding literary talents to learn ancient Greek here.

In Byzantium, there were three Greek languages.

The first is called Naive and Regressive Greek, spoken mainly by the poor.Not even the text.The second is the developed and more flexible Greek language, used by the rich and ordinary aristocrats.The last type is the real top aristocrats, who use classical Greek.
