As far as China people are concerned, jujube is closely related to daily life. Before the child is born, the mother often nourishes the body with jujube to ensure the health of mother and child. After the baby is born, the mother often eats red dates, but the milk is guaranteed. After children can run, they will pick dates from trees to eat, or beat dates with bamboo poles. "Pears and dates are ripe in August before the court, and trees can be planted a thousand times a day", which is vividly described in Du Fu's poems. When young people get married, parents put red dates, peanuts, walnuts and so on. In their daughter's dowry closet, it means "give birth early" When visiting relatives during the Spring Festival, my mother-in-law will also steam a "jujube hill" steamed bun with white flour. Eating dates when you are sick can cure diseases. When you are not sick, red dates can strengthen your body. In times of famine, dates can satisfy hunger. Historical Records records that "in the old days, when there was a great famine, all the people ate jujube". Nowadays, jujube has become a cash cow for the people in Zaoxiang to get rich.

3, taste the eight treasures leisure

Liu Yanlin friends donated, letter yue:

"Sichuan friends brought me a lot of spicy shredded beef and an article about their hometown Babao tea printed online. Sichuanese are famous for their leisure, and the taste of' leisure' is really particular. I recommend this article recommended by my friend to the Urban Leisure Edition, hoping to add some interest to Beijingers who love tea. I want to keep the shredded beef for my own use. "

This friend is really interesting. He must know the truth that "all people are happy". The editor specially published this interesting letter and article here, sincerely expecting all parties to contribute, so as to enjoy life-this is the origin of "hedonism" in this column.

..... Babel, with a copper pot more than one meter long in hand, two red balls trembled and rushed down from a distance to cover the bowl. It is said that it can prevent people from getting too close and their hair from falling into the bowl. Turn the water up along the bottom of the bowl, cover it with a tea cover and soak for five minutes before drinking.

I have known each other for a long time, pestering Babel to learn how to make tea. This copper pot is too heavy to lift with two hands. Of course, the novice dared not aim such a long mouth at the guests, so he poured cups and altars all over the place, and all the containers were damaged by the fish in the pool. Later, even the production method of Babao tea was grinded by me.

Defective bowl covers cannot be used. Wash the bowl and dry it with a towel. First put rock sugar, then put Siraitia grosvenorii, then put American ginseng, licorice, medlar, red dates and raisins. Finally, cover the ingredients with jasmine tea and put two chrysanthemums. In this way, I saw the green water rushing out, making chrysanthemums more elegant.

The temperature of water boiled for the first time is too low, and the water boiled for the third time is too old. Only the second boiled water is suitable for making tea. But because this kind of tea is brewed in a copper pot, the pot itself will absorb the temperature of water, so it is necessary to use water that is slightly boiling than the second boiling water. The first time I only rushed into half a lamp, and then I filled it up.

When drinking, the index finger, thumb and middle finger of the right hand hold the lid top, and the ring finger and little finger use a little force to make the lid edge sink into the tea leaves to cover the floating tea leaves, and gently stir along the bowl edge to make all ingredients taste even. Pick up the saucer in your left hand, hold the lid of the bowl and sip gently. Taste the product with the tip of your tongue. Only when the water temperature is soft, full of tea, fruit, medicine and flowers, like a mass of true qi left in the mouth, can it be considered as a good flush. At the fourth and fifth mouth, the flavors of red dates, grapes, medlar and chrysanthemum faded, and the flavors of Siraitia grosvenorii and American ginseng really came into play. The rock sugar at the bottom of the cup also captured the aftertaste of licorice. Six blooms and seven blooms are just sugar water, leaving only chrysanthemums floating on the water. ...
