Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ? Turning around Feitianyan is a large mountain basin with rivers, ditches and patches of paddy fields.

    The solar terms in the mountains are later than those in the plains. The rice has already been harvested outside. The rice fields here have just turned yellow and will take a few days to mature.

    In the center of the paddy field is a large village, with houses in the village, and a huge earth building standing high in the middle, which is twice as big as the previous one.  It seems to be almost as high as the Chaozhou City Wall.

    "It's really nice here." Lin Run couldn't help but praise when he saw this: "This is just Tao Yuanming's paradise, right?"

    "It's a pity that the Peach Blossom Spring is fake. How can such a small place accommodate hundreds of years of population growth?" Lin Zhengying shook his head and sighed: "It has only been a hundred and twenty years since our clan moved here, and now we are divided into two  We only have a small village, and we work hard to cultivate the land, but we can only make ends meet. If there is a natural disaster, there will be famine."

    While talking, everyone came to the entrance of Daliao Village and saw a beautifully carved stone archway with four Chinese characters of "Jiu Mu Chuan Fang" written on it.

    Seeing Zhao Hao staring at the archway with a very interested expression, Lin Run proudly introduced: "From the ancestor of my Lin family, Bigan Gong, to the forty-sixth generation, he was the ancestor of Jin'an County, Wang Lugong.  . From Lu Gong to the sixteenth generation, he was Pi Gong. In the eleventh year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Pi Gong was promoted to the Ming Dynasty. He was appointed as the prince of the inspection school and also as a farewell driver in Suzhou. He was given a purple gold fish bag and Shangzhu Kingdom. After his death, he was given to the governor of Muzhou.  . Pi Gong had nine sons, all of whom were appointed governors of the state, so they were called 'Jiulong Gong', also known as the Jiu Mu family, the former Jiulong. My ancestors took 'Jiulongtang' as the name of this branch."

    "That's it, that's amazing." Mr. Zhao admired with envy on his face: "Well, since it's called the Front Nine Dragons, there must be a Back Nine Dragons?"

    "That's right." Lin Run nodded and said: "In the twenty-fifth generation, Lu Gong was Qi Gong, and he also gave birth to nine sons, and they all became state pastors, so he was called 'Jiu Mu Gong', after Jiulong, Song Jiu Mu Gong.  "

    Zhao Hao suddenly realized that he finally knew why the store that ¡®sells one pair of men¡¯s pants every seven seconds¡¯ was called Jiumu King.  I guess the boss¡¯s surname is also Lin.

    The sound of firecrackers and the bursts of gongs and drums interrupted Mr. Zhao's wild thoughts. He took a closer look and found that he had arrived in front of the earth building.

    After receiving the instructions, the tribesmen brought out the tools used during the New Year ceremony to worship their ancestors, and played and danced vigorously to welcome the distinguished guests.

    Zhao Hao originally thought that in this rural place, even if he danced the dragon and lion dance, he would be defeated by just two dances.  Unexpectedly, his eyes were opened.

    I saw more than a hundred Hakka men forming two long red dragons on the grain drying field in front of the earth building.  There are also 20 men who form ten green lions. Under the command of the leader holding embroidered balls, they dance quickly to the beat of drums.  There are so many dragons and lions mixed together, but they cooperate with each other in a tacit and changeable manner, and their movements are not chaotic at all.  It vividly imitates various postures of a male lion, and also implies martial arts and formations in the performance, reflecting the combination of strength and beauty, rough and full of vitality.

    The Hakka dragon and lion dance and the Chaozhou English song and dance are very different in that they are good at each other.

    ??~~

    After the harvest, the performance came to an end.  Lin Zhengying raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then spoke loudly to them in dialect.

    Mr. Zhao¡¯s eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked Yue Yunpeng who was on the side: ¡°What are they talking about?¡±

    "I can't understand it either. We Chaozhou people can understand Hokkien, but what they speak is Puxian dialect, which is completely different." Yue Yunpeng looked helpless.

    Mr. Zhao nodded and expressed his understanding.  After all, Mr. Lu Xun once said that the furthest distance in the world is that you are both from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but I don¡¯t understand what you are saying.

    This statement is also completely applicable in the Fujian-speaking area and the Cantonese-speaking area.

    There is also a joke about the difficulty of deciphering the mystery of these dialects. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, in order to prevent communication signals from being intercepted by the US military, the Chinese Volunteer Army asked many Chaozhou soldiers to use Chaozhou dialect as a communication language.  Wonderful.

    "Zhao Hao has also seen similar jokes in Wenzhou dialect and Puxian dialect versions. Anyway, it is to highlight that his own dialect is the most difficult to understand.  I don¡¯t know what to be proud of.

    It was Lao Fang who was the guide who translated for Mr. Zhao and said that this was Lin Zhengying bragging to the tribesmen that they had more powerful relatives.  The days of pride and pride are coming.

    ¡®Just dream.  ¡¯ Yue Yunpeng curled his lips and felt a little unhappy, but this was considered enemy territory for him, so he didn¡¯t dare to say this.

    After the people of the Lin clan happily paid their respects to their great-uncle, Lin Run was led into the ancestral hall in the enclosed courtyard to offer incense to the ancestors of the Lin clan.

    Outsiders such as Zhao Hao and Yue Yunpeng stayed outside the ancestral hall to have tea.  Mr. Zhao sat down in no hurry, looked up and wandered around the patio, and visited the interior of this Hakka enclosed house with great interest.

    I saw that the whole enclosed house wasIt is round in shape, with four-story outer buildings and thousands of rooms. It is the residence and warehouse of each family.

    Inside the enclosed house is a traditional Han Chinese hall, divided into three halls: upper, middle and lower.  The lower hall is connected to the gate and is the entrance and exit of the enclosed house.  The nave is located in the center, is the largest and most spacious, and is a place for family gatherings and welcoming guests.  The Shangtang is located in the innermost part. It is the ancestral hall where ancestors are worshiped and where clan studies are held.

    The place where Zhao Hao and the others are located is the central hall. When you look up, you can see the round blue sky, so it is also called the ¡®sky dome¡¯.  Looking at the tall buildings and walls around us, it's hard not to feel depressing.  But this is the place with the best view inside the enclosed house.  To facilitate defense, the windows in all rooms opened inwards.  There are only a few holes in the outer wall of the enclosed house, which provides enough ventilation for the building, but it is difficult to provide adequate lighting.

    At this time, the corridors surrounding the houses were filled with curious Hakka people.  The previous alert has not been lifted and they are still not allowed to go out to work.  The men put away their bows, arrows and firecrackers and came out to lie on the railings, pointing and discussing today's events.  Women with their heads wrapped in blue cloth gathered together with their children in their arms to enjoy this rare leisure.

    Zhao Hao doesn¡¯t see many elderly people. This is because the average life span of the Hakka people is less than forty years old, so except for the old patriarch Lin Zhengying, he rarely sees any elderly people.

    ??~~

    At this time, Lin Yichen served tea.

    Mr. Zhao is indeed thirsty. No matter whether it tastes good or not, he will drink it first.

    Unexpectedly, after taking two sips, he showed a look of surprise and said to Yue Yunpeng on the side: "Try it, it tastes really good."

    "Oh, really?" Yue Yunpeng was a little disapproving. What good things could the Hakka people have?  But for Mr. Zhao's sake, he still picked up the teacup and tasted it.

    After tasting it, he couldn't help but praise it: "The aroma is rich, soothes the throat and leaves a sweet taste, with a floral and fruity aroma. Well, it has a really unique mountain charm."

    "Really, what's the name of this tea?" Mr. Zhao felt that he had drank this tea somewhere.

    "How can the wild tea on Fenghuang Mountain have a name?" Lin Yichen smiled and replied: "Young master likes it, and we will pick it for you every year from now on."

    "I like it, I like it very much." Zhao Hao took a few more sips, then looked at the orange-yellow soup, clear and bright, and there seemed to be a golden ring on the inner wall of the tea bowl. He couldn't help but feel more familiar, and asked Lin Yichen to bring some dry tea leaves.

    Lin Yichen quickly brought the tea can, and Zhao Hao took out a few pieces and took a closer look. He saw that the tea leaves were thick, straight and fat, with bright yellow belly and red envelope edges.  The biggest feature is that the front ends of the tea leaves are multi-pointed, and the leaf tips droop like a bird's beak.

    Zhao Hao suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Isn't this the Phoenix Narcissus?"

    "Phoenix Narcissus, what a good name." At this time, Lin Run came out of the ancestral hall accompanied by Lin Zhengying. Hearing Zhao Hao's words, he smiled and said: "There is a saying that the smell of wine is afraid of the depth of the alley. The smell of tea is even more afraid of the depth of the mountains and forests.  . This camellia is named after Mr. Zhao, it will definitely become famous all over the world and its value will double."

    Seeing that Lin Zhengying had not yet reacted, Lin Run smiled at him and said, "Aren't you worried about the difficulty of the people's livelihood? Why don't you hug the God of Wealth tightly?"

    "Mr. Zhao?" Lin Zhengyi looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief. He was so young that it was hard to believe.

    ¡°Yes, even the province will have to rely on him to support him in the future.¡± Lin Run smiled and sat down next to Zhao Hao.  "If you can partner with him to sell tea, you can make a lot more money than farming."

    Lin Zhengying was actually a little confused, but if his uncle said so, he would just do it.  He quickly asked Mr. Zhao to lend a helping hand.

    "How many tea trees are there in your Phoenix Mountain?" Zhao Hao could only ask with a smile.

    In fact, tea only entered the European market during the Wanli period. Currently, it is only marketed in Asia around the Ming Dynasty. Compared with silk and porcelain, the profit is not too high.

    But since the great man Zhao Gongzi descended from heaven, he naturally had to promote tea to the whole world in advance.  He planned to spend twenty years adding the name of tea to the list of profitable foreign trade products.

    ¡°At present, let alone green teas such as Phoenix Narcissus, even Lapsang Souchong black tea, which will become popular in Europe in the future, is still very immature.  There is still a long way to go before we can form a complete industrial chain like that of porcelain and silk.

    There is nothing wrong with starting early to organize the industrial base.

    When he learned that there were 10,000 to 20,000 such wild tea trees on Fenghuang Mountain, he was finally completely tempted.

    Well, it is necessary for Chaozhou Agricultural College to set up a site on Fenghuang Mountain to start cultivar selection so that wild tea can be cultivated artificially as soon as possible.  Excellent individual plants were selected and cultivated individually to obtain the top-grade Phoenix narcissus - Phoenix Dancong

    We have to make up another set of tea culture to add to the background. For example, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty escaped from trouble and almost died of heatstroke. After eating Phoenix tea, look what happened, okay!

    We have to hype up the price of Phoenix Dancong. Well, the best tea has to be picked by virgins, and it has to be placed on the breasts of the tea-picking girls, and the girl's body temperature is used for 'primary baking', so those old perverts  Cross it out and replace it with the words that scholar-bureaucrats and upper-class people will be willing to donate generously.

    At the same time, it is not enough to drink it yourself. You must also let Leader Wang drink it, Xu Wei drink it, Li Zhi drink it, his father-in-law drink it, and the emperor also drink it. It is best to make it a tribute tea, and then ask them to write poems to praise it.  It shouldn't take many years to make this tea famous all over the world (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The summer heat is gone. I drank Phoenix tea. Look what happened. It¡¯s done!
