Chapter 49 Hometown of "Tea Hometown"

China is the hometown of tea, and my hometown Fujian is the hometown of tea!There are dozens of types of Fujian tea, and our family tradition is to drink jasmine tea.Because jasmine tea not only has the fragrance of roasted jasmine, but also does not need to use ceramic pots and small cups when making tea!I remember that when I returned to my hometown Fuzhou, Fujian from Shandong in 1911, I saw that my grandfather was very particular about drinking tea. The water he used to make tea was not well water but rainwater.Fuzhou is very rainy. After a heavy rain, the roof tiles are completely cleaned. We use bamboo pipes to guide the rainwater from the eaves into a large water tank with a small cover on the large wooden cover. When making tea, open the small wooden cover and scoop it up with a small water spoon. Use stored rainwater to boil.He said that the rainwater is purified and has no earthy smell.Later, when I went to Beijing with my parents, there was little rain and drought, so I couldn't use rainwater to make tea, but my father put a lot of tea leaves in the tureen, saying that the fragrance of the tea would overwhelm the taste of the water.

Now I drink by myself or treat guests, the tea I use is still jasmine tea, and the water used to make tea is not only rainwater, but even well water is gone. I use tap water that smells like bleach!But I think drinking tea is better than drinking water. Tea is more flavorful and refreshing.A major event in the history of the Democratic Progressive Democratic Progressive Central Women's Work Symposium was held in Beijing for the first time. This is a major event in the history of the Democratic Progressive Movement!Most of the members of the Democratic Progressive Party are cultural and educational people, and women members account for more than 40%. This half of the power in the cultural and educational field cannot be ignored.Through this work symposium, we will fully express our opinions on the new situation, new pattern and new tasks in promoting the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, and strive to develop our work. I cannot participate in the symposium due to illness. , I am sorry, I would like to congratulate you!
