    When Wen Fei said this, he suddenly remembered, isn't this Tokyo's Kaifeng Mansion in Henan?  This Henanese people are quite famous for their love of pasta.  Although there is evidence that wheat is more nutritious than rice.  But as my stomach is used to eating rice, I still can't eat that pasta often Forget it, I'm too lazy to say more, Wen Fei said: "There are many tastes in the world, but rice is the most nourishing. I don't care what you like to eat,  But I want to eat rice!" Jiang Fan then realized that he had made a mistake. It turned out that Wen Fei didn't think he had eaten too much flour.  Wen Fei has the status of an immortal and is the most authoritative when it comes to this. After hearing this, Jiang Fan asked cautiously: "Master Immortal, is this pork more nutritious than mutton?" Wen Fei nodded quickly and said: "That's natural!"  "But this pork is too spicy. There is a poem by Su Xian: Huangzhou's good pork is as cheap as dirt. The nobles refuse to eat it, and the poor don't know how to cook it. Get up in the morning and have two bowls, and you will be so full that you don't care.  This pork is too spicy, so you can only cook it with aniseed and boil it in water like Dongpo pork. You can't eat it any other way!" Jiang Fan said in confusion.  Wen Fei now understood that there must be some misunderstanding.  Not this Jiang Fan, desperately trying to steal his own money.  But what he is curious about is, isn't the pork eaten today the same breed as the pork eaten in the Northern Song Dynasty?  Why does Jiang Fan always call this pork too sexy?  Soon, someone was sent to buy a pound of pork and brought it back with a straw rope.  Put it to your nose and smell it, and sure enough it smells fishy.  Wen Fei's face changed color, he threw the pork away, and shouted: "Dead pork, it turns out to be dead pork!" Wen Fei still remembered buying dead pork when he was a child, so he asked like this.  The man who went to buy pork said doubtfully: "This meat must be dead pork. If you don't kill this pig, how can you cut the meat?" "I mean this pig must have died of illness, otherwise how could there be such a thing?  "It tastes like this." The man laughed and said, "Pork all over the world tastes like this. Could it be that the pork is too dirty, so no one wants to eat it?" Wen Fei was surprised.  , I thought to myself, can it be that the pork from two time and space really does not come from the same kind of pig?  When I went back in the future, I consulted experts and found out that none of the pigs at this time had been gelding.  That's why there is a filthy smell. Except for breeding pigs, all the subsequent boars have been gelded.  After struggling with the housekeeper for a long time, I finally reduced the expenses to 20 yuan per day.  Wen Fei finally knew that living in such a big house was quite stressful.  It seems that I really have to find a way to make money!  ¡°Thinking about the many people outside who came to see me, they were either high-ranking officials or wealthy people. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to get in front of them.  Wen Fei said harshly: "Since these people are here to pay homage to me, they naturally have to spend money to celebrate my move to a new home. See you all!" Wen Fei is lazy and hates trouble.  So there were so many people blocked outside, and I didn¡¯t even expect to see them.  At this moment, when I think about how much pressure I have to survive, one day costs someone else a year's salary, I can only gnash my teeth and think about making a fortune from those people.  Wen Fei was shocked when he came for the first time. This was a standard royal relative. He was the father of the current queen, the Taishan father-in-law of Song Huizong, the Grand Master of Yi State, Zheng Shen.  "Children were born very early in ancient times, and today's queen is only in her twenties. This Zheng Guozhang is at most forty or fifty years old. He is not at all like the seventy-year-old and eighty-year-old Wen Fei originally imagined.  Wen Fei received him in the main hall. Even though he was the emperor's father-in-law, Wen Fei was unhappy and had no intention of giving him a good look.  He just sat on the chair without even raising his butt, let alone going out to greet him.  Zheng Shen thought to himself: This is what a Taoist master looks like, unlike those Taoist priests who claim to be Taoist masters, but in fact they are just people who follow the crowd. They all flatter me when they see me.  With this understanding, Zheng Shen became more respectful and took the lead in saluting: "Zheng Shen, a good believer, has seen Mr. Dangmo Fudao!" Seeing that the head of the country lowered his body so low, Wen Fei was a little agitated.  Embarrassed.  He stood up and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Zheng Guozhang, please, please" As soon as he sat down, a man came out with a tea tray and served tea.  Drinking tea at this time was already very different from that in the Tang Dynasty. People in the Song Dynasty drank tea differently from those in the Tang Dynasty. They switched from boiling tea to ordering tea, so there is a saying of "Tang cooked Song Dynasty tea".  In the Tang Dynasty, various condiments were added to tea.  Lu Yu opposed the traditional folk habit of adding a lot of seasonings when making tea, but the sencha method he advocated still retained the habit of adding salt. In the Song Dynasty, tea was ordered without salt, and the natural fragrance of the tea was purely enjoyed.  Ordering tea is a skill that is both artistic and technical. Today¡¯s JapaneseThe tea ceremony originated from the tea ordering method that was popular in the Song Dynasty.  Of course, tea drinking at this time was still as popular as in the Tang Dynasty, and tea fighting was popular.  If a high-ranking official does not have a few decent tea-ordering experts to treat guests, he will be embarrassed to go out to meet people.  If it weren't for Song LaoShi's help in getting everyone together, Wen Fei's hospitality would probably be laughable.  It was also the first time for Wen Fei to see this ancient tea drinker, and he only felt that it was extremely troublesome.  A servant sat on a low table, first roasting the tea leaves, then grinding them into powder, and sifting them into fine powder. There were a lot of tools used, including tea bags for sifting tea, tea boxes for storing tea, etc.  Then put the tea powder into the tea tray, and then add a small amount of boiling water to make a paste. At this time, you can 'order tea', which means pouring the boiling water from the tea bottle into the tea cup. When ordering tea, the water should spray out and pour out.  It should be moderate and should not be intermittently. To whisk, you use a special 'Cha Qiang' to stir the tea soup while turning the tea cup, so that "soup flowers" appear in the cup.  Such continuous movements of Qiang, blowing, and blooming make a layer of white waves float on the surface of the tea soup. The ancients called this scene "War with Snow Waves."  Everything seemed very quiet, tidy, focused and orderly.  Even Zheng Shen sighed: "I didn't expect that Master Xian would have such a master of ordering tea and fighting tea!" Then he stopped talking and watched quietly.  Wen Fei is a layman, and he doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s so good about the tea foam made with boiling water.  If this person was really thirsty, he would have died of thirst before he even drank the tea.  But I don¡¯t know that there are also perverts. Song Huizong mentioned in "Daguan Tea Theory. Points" that ordering tea is popular among the nobles and scholar-bureaucrats, and the requirements are extremely high. During the process of ordering tea, there are seven actions of adding water, which is called  "Seven soups" method of ordering tea.  (To be continued.
