" Dream of Red Mansions " Why doesn't Jia Mu eat " Lu'an tea "? Do you dislike Miaoyu or deliberately find fault?
It's all about eating habits.
Lu'an tea was very famous in ancient times, and it has been a special tribute to the imperial palace since the Ming Dynasty.
There are also many types of Lu'an tea, the more high-end is green tea.
For ordinary people, even in aristocratic families, it is very good to be able to drink Lu'an tea.
However, elderly people like Jia Mu are not suitable for drinking Lu'an tea.
Jia Mu is 70 years old after all, the gastrointestinal system is inevitably aging, and the digestive ability is weakened.
In ancient times, there were no antibiotics, and it was very troublesome for the elderly to have diarrhea.
Jia's mother often suffers from diarrhea, weakness and even rest in bed because she eats more food, even half a peach.
The Empress Dowager Cixi suffered from chronic dysentery, which was not cured for a long time, and eventually died.
Therefore, the ancients paid great attention to diet when they were old.
Before going to Cui Nunnery , Jia's mother ate a lot of wine and meat, which in itself was quite gastrointestinal.
If it wasn't for Jia's mother seeing Liu's grandmother so happy, she would not have eaten so much. It would have been an exception.
In this case, Jia Mu certainly can't drink green tea, as long as she drinks it, she is likely to have diarrhea.
But there are many kinds of green tea, why did Mother Jia directly say that she does not eat Lu'an tea?
First, I am afraid that Miaoyu's ancestral home is Lu'an , and often uses tea from this hometown to entertain guests;
The second is that Miaoyu is not from Lu'an, but especially respects Lu'an tea as the top grade for hospitality.
Miaoyu is also a smart person. She has long known that they came here after dinner, and used Lao Junmei to entertain Jia's mother.
Laojunmei is a kind of fermented black tea or oolong tea, which has the effect of digestion and relieving greasy. It is the best time to drink it.
Besides, Lao Jun also means birthday.
drinking Laojunmei for Jia's mother, not only the tea itself is suitable, but also the meaning of Miaoyu taking the opportunity to flatter.
This shows that Miaoyu is not a fool, nor is she an unworldly jerk.
Many people don't understand, why do you spend so much time drinking tea in A Dream of Red Mansions?
Jia Fu has many kinds of tea, and there are countless exquisite drinking methods, which is really hypocritical in our opinion.
In fact, this is a major feature of ancient noble families.
In ancient China, there was no coffee, no dairy products, mainly tea.
And these teas from Jiafu are far stronger than the 82-year-old Lafite red wine.
Why? It's not just because the price of tea is expensive, but many tea leaves can't be bought with money.
By drinking tea, you can see the wealth and special status of Jia Fu. And the teas Baoyu drink, especially some high-end teas, are estimated to be much more expensive than gold.
But it's not just about money, it also reflects the power of Jia Fu.
"Dream of Red Mansions" 25th time the high-grade tea brought as tribute from Siam is nothing in Jiafu, and is despised by everyone.
Baoyu said "it's not very good", Baochai said "the color is not very good", Fengjie said "it's not interesting", in short, they all feel bad and dissatisfied, only Daiyu said "I eat be well".
You must know that this tea is not from Siamese trade, but from tribute.
In the early Qing Dynasty, it took Siam three years to enter the dynasty to pay tribute once. Since it is a tribute, these green teas must be excellent top grades, and more importantly, the folks cannot get them at all. For example,
, this is like a limited edition top sports car in the world, only one or two hundred cars per year.
There are so many rich people in the world to buy, everyone can afford it, it depends on who has more power.
don't talk about tea, even if Miaoyu serves tea to Jia Mu, she uses "begonia fancy style, carved lacquer, filled with gold, and a small tea tray with Yunlong offering birthday" plus "cheng kiln multicolored small cover clock".
Later, Miaoyu didn't want to "make a kiln multicolored small cover clock" and gave it to Grandma Liu. The gadget
sold for at least a few hundred taels, and Grandma Liu said that twenty or thirty taels would be enough for farmers to spend a year.
Later, Grandma Liu had the money to go to the brothel to redeem Qiaojie , which is probably the credit of this little guy.
