"Huh?! It's rotten? Oh, what a shame!"
Old Master Sun asked with great regret, patting his thigh and sitting on the long bench.
Lingzhi and Tang Tian also sat on the side with great curiosity, looking at the three old men in confusion, wondering what had made them so excited.
"Hey, Xiao Che, if the ancient book you got is real, it would be really amazing!"
Old Master Tang also shook his head and sighed.
Mr. Pan also looked regretful, and the three of them sat on the long bench.
After saying that, Mr. Tang took out two notebooks from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Lingzhi and Tang Tian looked at the two notebooks curiously, wondering what was written on them.
Seeing the three old men looking so nervous, Jiang Che was confused.
Could it be that the figure in Xiaocha’s memory is a celebrity?
"Grandpa Tang, why are you so nervous about that ancient book? Does it have any special meaning?"
Jiang Che asked doubtfully.
"Special, very special! It's a cultural treasure of our country!"
"Xiao Che, have you heard of the name of Tea Saint Lu Yu?"
Tang Yuanming asked solemnly.
When Mr. Tang mentioned Lu Yu's name, Mr. Pan and Mr. Sun also had an admiring look on their faces.
"Although I don't drink tea often, I still know the name of the Tea Saint." Jiang Che nodded, then suddenly realized and asked in surprise: "Grandpa Tang, are you saying that the contents of this notebook are related to the Tea Saint Lu Yu?"
The three old men nodded in unison, and Mr. Tang continued seriously.
"I can't say it's related, unless what you told us, Xiao Che, is fabricated."
"The contents of this notebook are most likely written by the Tea Saint Lu Yu himself!"
Jiang Che was shocked. It turned out that the person in Xiaocha’s memory fragments was the Tea Saint himself!
Isn’t this too incredible?
Jiang Che felt goosebumps all over his body when he thought about it now.
That’s the Tea Saint Lu Yu!
He compiled the earliest, most comprehensive and complete tea ceremony classic "The Classic of Tea" in my country and even in the world.
I never expected this! In Xiaocha's fragmented memories, I could actually see the Tea Saint across the long river of history. This feeling is truly amazing.
"But it's a pity that the original version is gone. I'm afraid it's hard to be convinced just by looking at these contents!"
Mr. Tang shook his head and said with great regret.
"I really didn't expect that ancient book to have such a great origin, otherwise I would definitely keep it well."
"Grandpa Tang, I wonder how the translation of the tea-making content in the notebook is going?"
Jiang Che asked hurriedly, the leaves of the tea had been picked for some time.
If he didn't start making it now, Jiang Che was afraid that the leaves would lose their essence.
"The tea-making process has been fully translated. It's very comprehensive. There's no problem following the translation."
"But the contents of the notebook you gave us, Xiao Che, are not just about tea-making techniques."
"There are many travel notes recorded in the back of the notebook, all signed by Hongjian. This is why we are so excited. Hongjian is the pen name of Lu Yu, the tea sage."
Old Master Tang said with emotion, he never expected that the notebook Jiang Che casually threw to him would have such a great background.
In order to determine the authenticity of the contents of the notebook, they even contacted an old friend in Kyoto.
When comparing it with the ancient Chinese classic "The Classic of Tea", I was surprised to find that the content in Jiang Che's notebook, the choice of words and sentences, were extremely similar to those in the ancient Chinese classic "The Classic of Tea".
This forced them to believe the authenticity of the contents of the notebook.
Seeing the three old men so excited, Jiang Che was helpless.
The ancient books are in his mind, and he can't get them out even if he wants to!
"Grandpa Tang, I wonder if there are any special stories in the travel notes recorded by the Tea Sage?"
Lingzhi was sitting on the side, and finally understood what the old men and Jiang Che were talking about, and asked curiously.
"Of course there is. According to the travel notes, the Tea Saint moved to Rao County in Xijiang in his later years."
"The old man, who loved drinking and making tea, visited the famous mountains and rivers in Rao County in search of tea trees."
"I didn't expect him to actually find it. According to travelogues, there's a thousand-year-old tea tree growing in the heart of Sanqing Mountain in Rao County. It's extremely valuable."
"In order to protect the tea trees, he built a thatched hut on the mountain and lived there, making tea while compiling the classic book, The Classic of Tea..."
Old Master Tang talked eloquently, and Lingzhi and Tang Tian listened with great interest.
Thousand-year-old tea tree, what does the tea brewed from such ancient tea tree leaves taste like?
The two of them thought about it and felt a little curious.
"Grandpa Tang, maybe the travelogue you mentioned is a treasure map? How about we go look for this thousand-year-old tea tree?"
Lingzhi said with interest.
"Hahaha, little Lingzhi still has a spirit of adventure. After such a long time, the tea tree is probably gone."
"If you're curious, you can go and have a look whenever you're free. Xijiang Province happens to be right next door."
Mr. Tang said with a smile.
How much time has passed from the Tang Dynasty to the modern times!
The possibility that the tea trees still existed was extremely slim, so he basically had no hope.
"Lingzhi, stop messing around. How can a girl go to the mountains?"
Jiang Che shook his head speechlessly. Xiaocha was now growing in the Worry-Free Space.
There is definitely no such thing in Sanqing Mountain in Rao County. Stop the unrealistic idea of Lingzhi immediately.
"Brother, I was just kidding, how could I really go there!"
Lingzhi smiled awkwardly and explained hurriedly.
