Huzhou Nanxun's slogan is

No.24-1Xiatang East Street, Nanxun Town, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province

The weather is fine. I am visiting nanxun town with my friends.

The ancient town is divided into two scenic spots, north and south, which are distributed along the river. There are many shops in the south scenic area, and people are noisy. Even the river is crowded with many covered boats. It's already sunset when we go to the North Scenic Area. Narrow alleys, paved with bluestone, are connected one by one, and shops are scattered all over the place, and most of them live by local people themselves. Small shirts are hung on bamboo poles, puppies are taking a nap on the roadside, and three or two tourists gather in front of a tricycle selling tofu pudding in the distance.

At this time, our feet are weak, our clothes are sweating, we are hungry and thirsty, and our pace is getting slower and slower. Passing by, I glanced at it and smiled at my uncle in the room. "Come in and have a cup of tea. "Grandpa smiled, our mess has long been seen through.

When I walked into the room, I felt cool.

It's a teahouse, more like a small home with two rooms, more than ten meters square. The room that enters the door is bright and tidy, with a square table and a wardrobe, which contains some drinks and specialties.

Looking at smoked bean tea, Xi ao tea is a kind of "special tea" with an interesting name, so they each ordered a cup.

Open the curtains and walk into the next room. Cool breeze, small and quiet. Two bamboo square tables, several bamboo chairs, an old wardrobe, and a bamboo bookshelf in the corner with some leisure books on it. There is a table runner made of blue printed cloth and a glass tea set on each coffee table, which looks spotless. There are hundreds of buildings outside the window, and the sound of smashing clothes on the shore is clearly audible.

Soon, my uncle came in with a small glass lamp and a smile. "The wind is preparing to drink tea. “

There are some broken rose petals scattered on the snow-white sheets. Seen from the top, there is not a drop of water, but it smells close and delicious. Is this tea? My partner and I were both surprised.

Scoop a spoonful, the entrance is sweet, the rice fragrance is accompanied by the fragrance of osmanthus, and then take a sip of the soaked thin skin, which is soft and glutinous, and the tip of the tongue melts, and suddenly it is full of glutinous sweetness.

It turns out that this wind tea is also called pot soup, and the white flakes are pot soup.

Wash and cook glutinous rice, dig a spoonful and put it in the pot. Hold the top of the spatula with your left hand and the middle with your right hand, and turn the spatula clockwise. Rice will slowly turn into rice paste under the pressure of a spatula. Under the baking of furnace temperature, a thin layer of rice paste gradually formed on the edge of the pot. With the continuous rotation of the spatula, the rice paste in the pot becomes thinner and thinner. When the thickness reaches 1 to1.5mm, cease fire and let the residual temperature slowly dry the rice paste. Then shovel quickly, and the pot will be served. This is the wind shovel.

"Li" originally refers to the thin thread of cloth, and the wind, as the name implies, is that this pot is made light and thin. When the wind blows, it is like silk swaying in the wind, emitting a faint sweetness. The elegance of Nanxun people can be seen.

However, this kind of air hammer has high requirements for production, so it is mostly made by machines now. It's convenient to pack it in one bag.

In a tea bowl, put a shredded air shovel, sprinkle with white sugar and dried osmanthus, and rinse with boiling water. The shovel is still in full bloom like a lotus flower, floating on the water and flowing along the edge of the bowl. The fragrance rises and gets into the nose. Sweet, fragrant, waxy and smooth are the characteristics of Fengyi tea.

This sweetness is also a wonderful childhood memory of many Nanxun people.

The Spring Festival is coming, adults will have fun, and children will steal the dry wind just shoveled out, which is crisp and fragrant, no less than the potato chips now. Generally speaking, it is once a year to make wind pressure sheets on the kang. When guests come to China during the New Year, they should make a bowl of wind pressure tea, which is "sweet and sweet" to leave a good impression and good luck. If there are new guests or valuable guests at home, such as a son-in-law, it is very polite for her mother-in-law to invite her for tea, water and eggs.

Just after drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, Uncle Teahouse came in with a teacup carefully. It must be smoked bean tea.

When the lid was lifted, a fragrance came to my face, with red and green floating on it, clear and blue tea color, and some tea fruits at the bottom of the cup.

The green one is smoked beans. "The salt and soup in the kettle were originally fragrant, and the charcoal fire in the oven was slightly familiar. I like this good color. There are many beans in my boudoir in winter. " Smoked beans, that is, tender green beans are cooked with salt water and then smoked dry. Besides smoked beans, there are dried carrots, dried tangerines, sesame seeds, medlar and green tea in tea.

After a sip, my companions and I frowned, salty.

The old man in the teahouse laughed and said, "If the smoked bean tea feels salty, you can add water while drinking it, but you can't add water to wind the tea."

I don't know if I added some water, or I'm used to this salty and clear taste. Gradually, I feel delicious. Smoked beans are soft and delicious, carrots are crisp and refreshing because they have been pickled, and the smell of dried tangerine peel stimulates people. Take another sip of tea soup. The fragrance of tender tea is accompanied by the fragrance of sesame seeds, which makes people feel refreshed.

In Nanxun, almost every household will smoke roasted beans. The production of smoked beans is basically once a year. They are usually stored in cans or put in bags in into the pit, and will not go bad every other year. Usually it can be used to accompany wine, and it is delicious for children to grab a handful and put it in their pockets. When guests come, they will take them out for brewing at any time. In the first month, they will entertain relatives and friends and have a happy meal. Smoked bean tea is the first choice, which means "sesame blossoms are getting higher and higher". In the past, women in large families had to drink alcohol when giving birth to children, because "children and grandchildren are full".

After eating Fengyi tea and smoked bean tea, the first three kinds of tea are a cup of green tea. Choose local green tea, the fragrance is overflowing, take a sip, and the bitter fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth.

In Nanxun, guests must finish these three bowls of tea to be complete. The first kind of sweet tea shows welcome to the guests. The guests must be hungry from afar, so the pot in the tea can be slightly raised. The second salty tea is appetizing and invigorating the spleen; The third kind of green tea, with elegant fragrance, always lingers when the host and guests chat.

Nanxun people often say that three teas are as delicious as life, sweet and salty.

When you think about it, the taste of this first wind tea is very sweet, just like a newborn, who knows nothing about the world, is protected by people around him in various ways and leads a sweet life. The salty taste of smoked bean tea is like a blow, which makes people frown. Involved in the world more and more deeply, everything is not satisfactory, worried about the taste, mixed feelings. Who can solve it? However, adding water several times when drinking will eventually get the right taste, and only you can understand this taste. I have lived a hundred lives, and in the end, I realized that plain is true. I took a sip of tea and looked back. The only thing I can do is smile.

Behind the three teas, we can also see the enthusiasm, elegance, optimism, sincerity and simplicity of Nanxun people.

Uncle Zhu is a native of Changzhou. He grew up in Nanxun, and the old house in the teahouse was left by his ancestors. Five years ago, Uncle Zhu's daughter opened this teahouse. Retired Uncle Zhu and his wife helped her daughter and helped her.

Compared with a cup of smoked bean tea in South Scenic Area 15 yuan, 6 yuan spends money on a cup of tea, but the taste is still the same, which shows the mentality of the teahouse owner.

Uncle Zhu is talkative and cheerful. When he drinks tea, guests often become friends.

There are many photos posted on the wall. No stars or big names. Are unknown faces. They are photos of guests taking photos with the owner of the teahouse, many of which have been yellowed. Looking at each photo, Uncle Zhu Can tells the scene at that time. There are three or four guest books on the shelf, all of which are books. People from all over the world seem willing to leave something here.

If you pass by here, you might as well put your feet on a row of small bamboo stools at the entrance of the teahouse and go in to charge, which is also free. Or, like us, order a few bowls of tea, read a little book about Nanxun, look at the running water outside the window, and listen to the story of three teas told by the teahouse owner.
