Entertainment: After three years of wearing women’s clothing, I was exposed by Mushroom House

Chapter 11 Freshly ground coffee? That's what the ancients left behind

Lu Yun didn't know that the outside world was paying attention to him.

Now he just wants to concentrate on recreating the skill of ordering tea.

After all, the tea-making method of the Song Dynasty is very different from the tea-making method that was only developed in the Ming Dynasty.

"What we drink now is called loose tea, and what people in Song Dynasty drank was called group tea."

"After the tea leaves are picked, they are made into tea cakes through complicated processes. When making tea, the tea leaves are crushed into powder, placed at the bottom of a bowl, and boiled water is used to make tea soup."

"At the same time, use a tea whisk to whisk the tea soup quickly to make it foam, and the foam will float on the surface of the soup. This process is called tea ordering."

Lu Yun explained to Huang Lei and others while grinding the tea cake into powder.

"Does this sound like freshly ground coffee?" Huang Lei couldn't help but asked in confusion.

In response, Lu Yun smiled: "Just watch."

He didn't answer clearly.

After saying that, he concentrated on the process of ordering tea.

But the live broadcast room couldn't help it, and many viewers also had the same doubts as Huang Lei.

"Yeah, why does it feel like the process of grinding coffee beans?"

"Although I like the goddess Yunlu, the process of grinding tea cakes is essentially the same as grinding coffee beans. It is really unreasonable to say that it is a popular tea-ordering technique in the Song Dynasty."

"Miss Yunlu's ground tea cakes and ground coffee beans look the same, but they are actually not the same thing at all!"

At this moment, an audience member nicknamed "Dean Liu" came out to refute.

This attracted everyone's attention. The key is that the audience's nickname certification title is really eye-catching and surprising.

He is actually from the "Director of the Chinese Cultural Research Institute". Combined with his nickname "Dean Liu", it is easy for people to know that he is Liu Wenhao, the director of the Chinese Cultural Research Institute!

I saw Liu Wenhao and Dean Liu continuing to comment on the public screen and explaining: "Everyone can take a closer look. When Miss Yunlu grinds the tea cakes, are the tea cakes steaming? This is obviously the roasted tea in the tea ceremony. ah!"

"If I guessed correctly, Yunlu did not bake the tea cakes in advance, but just used the power of grinding and friction to evaporate the water in the tea cakes. This is not a technique that ordinary people can do! "

"Wow! The official came down to explain in person. This is so impressive!"

"Dean Liu is right, and I think the method of brewing coffee is probably part of the ancient method of ordering tea. It is a leftover from the ancients! It's just that we failed to cherish the inheritance."

"Don't rush to conclusions, let's take a serious look at how this Yunlu goddess orders tea!"

After hearing Dean Liu Wenhao and Dean Liu's reminder, everyone noticed that the heat on the tea grinder must be water vapor.

It's just that the heat is too thin, and if you don't pay attention, it will be ignored.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and they began to look forward to Yunlu's tea-ordering skills in Lu Yun's women's clothing.

At this time, Lu Yun had ground the tea cake into a fine powder, but there were still several steps to follow.

"The next step is to order the waiting soup in tea. Whether making tea or ordering tea, it is the most difficult step."

Waiting for soup? What does it mean?

Whether it's the people at the scene or the audience in the live broadcast room, most of them don't quite understand what "waiting soup" specifically refers to?

"That's what we often mean by boiling water." Lu Yun explained.

But just this sentence caused everyone to be in an uproar.

Huang Lei, He Jiong, Zifeng, and Peng Peng at the scene also looked puzzled.

But they didn't say much, they just wanted to know why boiling water is called waiting soup, and why it is said to be the most difficult step?

After all, if you have not understood what it means to order tea, you have no right to speak.

This is also the way smart people behave in the world, not to mention that as celebrities, they pay great attention to their words and deeds. It would be bad if they were slapped in the face.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room had no baggage and was already discussing it heatedly.

"Why do you call boiling water waiting soup? Is it because it is more elegant?"

"It's just boiling water, what's so difficult about it!"

"Does it mean that the boiled water is not ordinary water?"

The viewers of the live broadcast were confused and discussed endlessly.

......

On the other side, there is the conference room of the Chinese Culture Research Institute.

Dean Liu Wenhao had already called many cultural research members together to watch Lu Yun's tea ordering live broadcast.

At this time, with a look of heartache and helplessness on his face, he said: "Alas! Nowadays, many Chinese people have thrown away the things of our ancestors, and they don't even know what waiting for soup means."

"Dean, it's not like you don't know that in today's fast-paced modern life, people are impetuous, and it is normal for them not to understand these traditional skills."

"Yes, people's lifestyles are different. Some cultural and artistic inheritances are not in line with today's fast-paced social life, and it is inevitable that they will be lost."

"You guys know nothing!" Liu Wenhao suddenly became furious after hearing what some members said. "You just mean that traditional cultural skills are not suitable for modern people's living habits."

"But I want to ask you, why do some countries do everything possible to plagiarize our cultural heritage?!"

"As members of cultural studies, you should know that the accumulation and development of cultural heritage is the foundation of a country's development. Only the excellent traditional Chinese culture of constant self-improvement and virtue can support the continuous development of our nation and pass it on from generation to generation."

"Everyone should know that the construction of spiritual civilization based on cultural inheritance is as important as the construction of scientific and technological civilization!"

"A country without excellent culture cannot become a world power. How is a country without excellent cultural heritage different from barbarians?!"

"You are so disappointing..."

Dean Liu Wenhao looked at the people who were talking, his eyes full of disappointment.

When those people heard what the old dean said, they suddenly woke up and looked ashamed.

"I'm sorry, old dean, we..."

Dean Liu Wenhao waved his hand, snorted coldly, and ignored these people.

Instead, he looked around and said seriously: "Yunlu is a good girl. Her method of ordering tea is of great research value. You must take notes carefully and don't miss it!"

"Yes!" Everyone replied respectfully.

......

At this time, Lu Yun looked at everyone's confused expressions and immediately knew that they were wrong.

Therefore, he explained patiently: "Tea art, or tea ceremony, ancient literati, when drinking tea, they paid more attention to their mind."

Seeing that he had successfully regained everyone's attention, Lu Yun continued: "Therefore, the most important thing when drinking or eating tea is to have a comfortable environment."

"The ancients did not have electromagnetic kettles and could only use charcoal fire to boil water. In order not to be smoked by the smoke produced by the charcoal fire, the choice of charcoal fire was particularly important."

"The charcoal fire I am burning is plum blossom charcoal. When burning, the charcoal fire has a fragrance, and the room is filled with fragrance. I believe everyone present can smell this fragrance, right?"

"Hey, I really smell it!" Zifeng's baby face was full of excitement.

"Well, it does smell quite good." He Jiong also nodded.

Although the others didn't say it, they could smell it from the looks on their faces.

Lu Yun nodded and continued to explain: "The process of boiling water, from our current point of view, is nothing special, but the ancients were very particular about it. They called the process of waiting for the water to boil."

"When water is boiled with plum blossom charcoal, the flames remain continuous, so the water is neither 'tender' nor 'old', allowing the tea aroma to be maximized."

"So, whether you are making tea or ordering tea, waiting for the soup is the most difficult step."

"Lu Yu described the soup in the "Tea Classic" this way: if it boils like fish eyes and makes a slight sound, it is a first boil; if its edge is like a gushing spring with beads, it is a second boil; if it boils like waves and drums, it is a third boil."

"This process is very subtle, and you will miss it if you are not paying attention. So how should you judge? Luo Dajing of the Song Dynasty recorded a method of identifying water in "Helin Jade Dew", which is to listen with your ears instead of looking with your eyes. .”

"There is a poem that goes: Thousands of cicadas are chirping, and suddenly thousands of carts are coming. I can hear the wind in the pines and the stream, and the green porcelain cup is screaming."

"It means that the sound of the first boiling water is like the chirping of insects and cicadas, the second boiling water is like the sound of people, carriages and horses running water, the third boiling water is like waves of pines and cold rocks swallowing springs. At this time, it can be used to make tea. , but this seems to be even more indistinguishable than with the eyes, and only some masters of tea ceremony can achieve the highest state of waiting for soup."

"Imagine that while drinking tea, you listen carefully to the sound of boiling water. You seem to hear the breeze blowing slowly from the hillside, the sound of raindrops dripping from the branches, the chirping of insects, the sound of cicadas, and the sound of cars. Horse flowing water, bursts of pines and waves, and cold stone swallowing springs are very artistic, aren't they?"

After speaking, Lu Yun stopped talking and began to concentrate on waiting for the soup.

However, he didn't know that his explanation about Hou Tang had caused huge discussion in the live broadcast room and even spread to the entire Internet.
