Turtle Daxianer, by the way, this Longjing Tea is quite destined to you? The distance from Wuyi Mountain to Hangzhou is much closer than from Yunzhong City to Wuyi Mountain. Chen Yibin drove for more than half a day and arrived near West Lake. He found a hotel near Jiashifeng Mountain to stay. The next morning, he took Haer and the others to the front of Hugong Temple. He happened to hear the tour guide explaining the relationship between the eighteen Longjing tea trees in the former Hugong Temple and Emperor Qianlong.

This Longjing tea was sealed by Qianlong. The shell of the Turtle Great Immortal is engraved with the reign of Qianlong. It can be considered a bit of fate. I just don’t know if Turtle Great Immortal had ever seen Qianlong back then?

"Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to Jiangnan six times, and went to Longjing tea area four times to watch tea picking and tea making. On the way back, he brought Longjing tea back to the empress dowager. After drinking it, the empress dowager's liver fire disappeared and he said that Longjing tea was better than a magic pill. Qianlong immediately issued an order to engrave the eighteen tea trees in front of the Hugong Temple as "Imperial Tea", which were collected and prepared every year, and it was exclusively for the empress dowager to drink. Since then, Longjing has become famous at home and abroad, and there are endless people asking about tea." The tour guide's explanation aroused discussion among tourists.

Puchi, tourists were all acclaimed by this legendary story, but Chen Yibin almost couldn't help laughing because he remembered a joke he had seen. Someone was bored and entered the keywords "Qianlong" and "Like" and found countless snacks in one go.

For example, Wuxi Xiaolongbao, Zhenjiang pot lid noodles, Xishi tofu, Luoding tangerine noodles, wheel cake, Huangshan tea dried, clay pot soup... There are hundreds of types, covering all over the country, and often with some legendary stories.

It was probably all about Emperor Qianlong who went to Jiangnan. A fellow villager took out a certain snack from his hometown. After Qianlong tasted it, he praised it and wrote a poem. The many stories were so numerous that it was simply impossible to complain. Some people commented, is Qianlong the emperor? Why does it look like a beggar? He can eat whatever he can live in? How many years have he been hungry?

A bit ruthless comment: I think this guy is almost Chi Xiang! Someone replied later, "Hey, don't say it, maybe this Chi Xiang will praise you even after Chi Xiang."

Of course, most of these stories were made up by later generations to hype their own snacks, but Longjing tea is more credible, but the famous West Lake Longjing was much longer than that of Qianlong. As early as the Tang Dynasty tea saint Lu Yu recorded in his "Tea Sutra" that the second temple of Lingyin produced good tea leaves.

Later in the Northern Song Dynasty, the "Xianglin Tea" in Xianglin Cave in Lingyin, the "Baiyun Tea" produced in Baiyun Peak in Tianzhu and the "Baoyun Tea" produced in Baoyun Mountain, Geling, have been listed as tributes. Su Dongpo and other literary masters savored tea and recited poems at Shousheng Temple at the foot of Longjing Shifeng Mountain, leaving a sentence of "Two flags under Baiyun Peak, greasy and fresh Grain Rain Spring" to praise Longjing Tea, and handwritten plaques such as "Lao Longjing" are still in existence. To this day, Hu Gong Temple in Shousheng Temple is still there. On the hanging rock at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in the 18 imperial tea gardens, Chen Yibin has just read it.

Longjing tea became more and more famous in the Ming Dynasty. Local chronicles and literati at that time recorded many records about Longjing tea. In the Qing Dynasty, the eighteen ancient tea trees in front of Hu Gong Temple were named imperial tea. After thousands of years of circulation, Longjing tea finally established its position as the world's number one tea. The eighteen tea trees in front of Chen Yibin are the finest products of Longjing tea.

Although there are eighteen tea trees here, which are several times more than the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain, the tea yield cannot keep up with the Dahongpao mother tree in Wuyi Mountain. The eighteen Yuqian tea trees together produce at most half a kilogram of tea in a year, which is even more rare than Dahongpao. The tea produced is sold by gram, and most people have no chance to buy it.

These eighteen tea trees were surrounded by railings, and tourists could only watch outside the railings, but this was not difficult for Chen Yibin. He quietly found a secluded place to put down Malfurio. Malfurio immediately got into the railing and began to look for seeds of tea trees. There were also benefits to too many tea trees, at least not as easy to be discovered as Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain.

While listening to the tour guide telling the story of the eighteen trees in the front and the Longjing Tea in West Lake, he nervously waited for Malfurion's return. Fortunately, Malfurion lived up to expectations and secretly got back into Ha'er's pocket more than half an hour later. Chen Yibin also left the place with the tourists.

"Let me see how many?" After coming out, I found a place to eat, ordered a private room, and ordered some famous West Lake dishes such as West Lake vinegar fish and Song Sao Fish Soup. While waiting for the dishes, Chen Yibin couldn't help but reach into Ha'er's pocket and touched them, "Oh, this time it seems like there are a lot more than last time?"

When I bought it, I felt a bunch of tea seeds. I took it out and counted it carefully. I actually got nine tea seeds, which were more than twice as many as Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain. Chen Yibin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It seems reasonable to think about it carefully. There are eighteen ancient tea trees here, and on average, each tree is only half, not many. Even if the staff carefully collects it, there will inevitably be omissions.

"Thank you for your hard work in Malfurio, come and try this Songren'er." Seeing that he was expected to plant West Lake Longjing and Wuyishan Dahongpao in his yard, Chen Yibin quickly took a small plate full of nuts to reward Malfurio.

"Squeak! Squeak!" Malfurio was very proud and held the pine nut with his paws and started to eat it. Just as he ate one or two, the waiter also started serving the dishes.

"Come on, Ha'er, I'll help you pick thorns." No matter how smart Ha'er and Xiaoliu were, they still had to move. The job of picking fish bones was really difficult for them, so they could only let Chen Yibin do it for him.

Put the fish meat that was picked up after being thorns on the plate in front of them, Ha, Xiao Liu and Turtle Daxian immediately started eating. Turtle Daxian seemed to like eating fish very much. Whether it is Song Sao's fish soup or West Lake vinegar fish, they all had relish. Chen Yibin thought that maybe after returning, he could study the methods of fish and shrimp, and try to give Turtle Daxian a special dish every day.

There are many beauties around West Lake, but unfortunately Chen Yibin is a little worried that the delay of the road will be unfavorable to sowing tea tree seeds, so he can only reluctantly leave West Lake. Even Bai Snake and Su Xiaoxiao did not have time to take a look, and embarked on a journey back to Yunzhong City.

As soon as I got on the expressway, I increased the speed to the maximum speed allowed by the highway. I found a place in the middle to rest for one night. On the afternoon of the next day, Chen Yibin returned to Yunzhong City.

"I'm a little tired tonight. Let's have porridge for dinner. I'll get up tomorrow morning to prepare it for you." After dinner, Caocao soaked the tea with Malfurio, Chen Yibin went to bed and started snoring.
