Chapter 52 Black Tea and History in the Cave! (three more requests)

Zhang Feng couldn't help feeling a little chilly on his back, what are you doing here so early in the morning?But he didn't have the nerve to ask, and just followed silently, but as he walked, he smelled a special smell in the air, which seemed to be the aroma of black tea.

"It's almost there," Adura said.

"Ah."

Zhang Feng responded, feeling the chill around him. He looked up and found that they were now in a valley. There were very few plants around, and there were gusts of cool wind blowing from inside the valley.

"That's it!" the old man said in the local language, and his figure stopped.

When the flashlight was illuminated, it turned out to be a cave, and there were seven or eight round and lush trees more than one meter high. To be precise, they should be black tea trees. They were swaying against the cool wind. Looking up, there was a round hole at the top, which seemed very interesting. .

When Zhang Feng looked at the surrounding environment, Adura had already communicated with his father. The more he talked about Adura, the more excited he became. Immediately, he took over the box and began to pick the mysterious black tea leaves with a little dew on the tea tree.

"Little brother, let me tell you, these seven or eight black tea trees, I dare say there are none in the whole of Ceylon, only my family has them!" Adula said proudly.

His hand skills also slowed down during the conversation, and the old man shook his eyes while holding the bag, so Adula could only smile sarcastically, and picked the tea leaves with all his strength.

As for Zhang Feng, he could only stand there in embarrassment, surrounded by darkness, and he didn't know if there was anything supernatural.

After standing like this for about 10 minutes, Adula also finished picking, and the excitement on his face could not help showing. He knew that his father brought him here, indicating that he was going to hand over many things that had not been given to him. him.

The three of them went out of the mountain stream immediately, and the sky in the distance already had a tinge of light, and Adura made a pilgrimage to the cave under the signal of his old father.

Then Adula drove back with the tea leaves under the signal of his old father, and Zhang Feng, under the signal of the old man, began to search for other ingredients in the endless tea garden. There is no verbal communication between people and opportunities, and all communication is through eyes and gestures.

So Zhang Feng accompanied the old man to dig a lot of ingredients that he didn't know what they were, but every kind of food was taken out from the ground by the old man himself. Zhang Feng wanted to help several times, but the old man mercilessly Refused.

But Zhang Feng couldn't get angry, because he knew that a real chef didn't want others to touch his ingredients.

The picking continued until half a round of the sun rose in the sky. Standing on the top of the tea mountain, Zhang Feng looked at the sun that had just woken up in the distance, and was amazed. The unexpected sunrise was even more breathtaking.

The old man also put down the work at hand, stood in front of Zhang Feng, and looked at the sunrise in the distance. Suddenly, the old man touched Zhang Feng with his hand, then pointed to the sun in the distance, and then pointed to the sun in the distance. The location of the heart.

Zhang Feng was stunned for a few seconds before he understood what the old man meant. The old man wanted him to remember the sunrise, so he nodded with a smile. At the same time, he took out his camera and took a picture of this sudden sunrise.

Indeed, where there is no bright moon, where there is no scorching sun, but the angle of view is different, and the sun you see is also different.

Not long after, Adura came by car, first reported the situation to his father, and then said to Zhang Feng: "Now we are going to the Eye of the Sea to fetch a bucket of water, let's go."

"Sea water?"

Adula shook his head and said, "No, it's fresh water. Only a handful of locals know about it. Let's go."

After another half an hour's drive, they came to a forest surrounded by coconut trees. Adula looked around to make sure no one signaled him to go in.

Not long after, the three of them came to a clear spring. The spring water flowed slowly outside along the pebble-paved ditch. The spring water in the early morning exuded a white mist that was visible to the naked eye, and there were strange flowers and plants growing all around.

Adulla and his father folded their hands and prayed before filling a pail of water with a clean pail.

"You can taste the water," Adura said with a smile.

"Is it possible?" Zhang Feng asked uncertainly.

Adura nodded again and said, "Yes."

Zhang Feng walked slowly to Tan's side, picked up a handful of water, took a sip, and it was extremely sweet. In a peninsular country like Sri Lanka, even if it is fresh water, it will have a salty taste without treatment. But this pool of water is actually comparable to some mountain streams and old springs in China.

"Isn't it very delicious?"

"Yes, I thought it would be a little salty, but I didn't expect it to be sweet, compared with some old springs in China." Zhang Feng said seriously.

Originally, Adura's face was filled with complacency, but when he heard the second half of Zhang Feng's sentence, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and the expression on his face was very exciting.

"Let's go!" At this moment, Adura's father walked up to the two of them with a few emerald green plants, signaling that they could go back.

"okay."

The three of them immediately left the coconut grove and walked towards the urban area, but instead of going back to the restaurant, they went to a house. Adula told Zhang Feng that all the tools used to make delicious food were in this old house.

The old house is a bit like a small courtyard, but the format is very different from the courtyard. There is a stone table in the courtyard, there are many flowers and plants, and there are some elephants and Buddhist statues. It is not elegant, but it is also very emotional.

"My father said that there are still many ingredients to be prepared. I brewed a pot of black tea that his old man made casually last year. Let's drink tea and chat." Adula said sitting opposite Zhang Feng.

"Don't you need help?" Zhang Feng smelled.

Adullah shook his head and said, "I don't want help, but I don't need help. My father is still very tough. Come, try it, and let me move."

Zhang Feng picked up the steaming teacup with a smile, took a sip, and his mouth was filled with the fragrance of tea. Although it was old tea, it seemed to taste better, just a small sip, and the fragrance of tea in his mouth could not dissipate for a long time.

"what……"

Zhang Feng breathed into his palm, and then sucked a little more into his nasal cavity, feeling like those who showed the satisfaction after smoking opium in the late Qing Dynasty.

Adula looked at Zhang Feng with a smile. It was a great thing for the things he took out to be recognized by others. He couldn't help but said: "Drink more if it tastes good. If it's not enough, I'll make another pot."

"Well, uncle, can you tell me about the history of Ceylon black tea?" Zhang Feng asked.

Adura thought for a moment, nodded, and asked, "Are you from China?"

"Correct."

"Haha, this is your incompetence. Our Ceylon black tea was introduced from your China by British colonists in the early [-]th century. After so many years of development, our Ceylon tea is no longer weaker than your China's tea." Already." Adura was not proud, and had complicated feelings.
