Chapter 15: The Effects Of This Spirit Tea Are A Bit…
When Chen Han saw the sign in the warehouse engraved with Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, he also saw the remark information:
【Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea: This is a special spirit tea created when the Hall Elder of the Work Hall, inspired while using Thunder Bamboo to construct a Special Spiritual Aperture defensive formation, developed it. After stir-frying, soaking it has special effects:
ordinary spirit tea: requires the use of ordinary tender Thunder Bamboo leaves combined with the corresponding stir-frying method. Effect: Clear Heart Fire +1, Heart Meridian Heat Removal +1, Promote Salivation and Quench Thirst +1, Refresh Spirit and Uplift Mood +1, Lingering Fragrance +1
premium spirit tea: uses Thunder Bamboo Leaf Core combined with the corresponding stir-frying method. Effect: Clear Heart Fire +2, Heart Meridian Heat Removal +2, Promote Salivation and Quench Thirst +2, Refresh Spirit and Uplift Mood +2, Lingering Fragrance +2
Restrictions: ask the Hall Elder of the Work Hall to construct a dedicated crucible for refining Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. because the spirit tea was comprehended by the Hall Elder of the Work Hall from the Thunder Bamboo in the Chen Clan Thunder Bamboo Forest, under the characteristics of the Thunder Bamboo, only tea refined using bamboo leaves from the Chen Clan Thunder Bamboo Forest will have special efficacy!
Use the engraved bamboo slip to obtain the specific formula for Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea? 】
Chen Han did not hesitate at all and directly chose to use it.
In the next moment, he saw the engraved bamboo slip in the warehouse turn into specks of starlight and disappear, while a stream of related information appeared in his mind. It was precisely the detailed formula and refinement method of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
Chen Han had not expected that having his uncle, this Hall Elder of the Work Hall, construct a defensive formation for the Special Spiritual Aperture would bring such a benefit; this should be the reward for completing the task.
And this reward was truly something good.
Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, in reality, as the name suggests, is tea leaves made from bamboo leaves.
In fact, bamboo leaf tea has existed in our country since ancient times, traceable back to the Han dynasty. At that time, the saying of brewing tea around the stove did not necessarily refer to the tea leaves we use now; it might have been bamboo leaf tea.
The tea leaves we know today only spread thoroughly during the Tang dynasty, when even the tea sage Lu Yu appeared.
Even now, bamboo leaf tea is still popular in many countryside places, and many people should have drunk water infused with bamboo leaf cores when they were children.
It is just that bamboo leaf tea is no longer mainstream; people born and raised in the city do not even know this thing exists.
This is also a loss of traditional culture.
And Clear Heart Fire and Heart Meridian Heat Removal are themselves effects that bamboo leaf tea possesses.
Chen Han knew the specific meaning of these two effects.
The Chen Clan, after all, is a Daoist Sect Heritage Family. Although it does not follow many Daoist rules, some Daoist classics have still been read, including those related to traditional Chinese medicine.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, bamboo leaves enter the heart meridian and can significantly drain heart fire, with obvious efficacy in treating vexation, insomnia, palpitations, manic depression, and excessive desire.
So if a child has a bad temper, loves to cry and fuss, drinking bamboo leaf tea is very beneficial, and the effect of brewing with bamboo leaf cores is even better.
Of course, not only for children. For those henpecked husbands who feel that their girlfriends or wives have irritable tempers or excessive needs in that regard, this thing can also save their lives.
So even if bamboo leaf tea is not popular, a jin of bamboo leaf core on the market can still sell for 89 to 198 yuan. Many people know about this effect.
To talk about Heart Meridian Heat Removal, we have to mention heat in the heart meridian, namely fire evil, qi stagnation transforming into fire, and externally contracted warm heat evil…
All right, that is still hard to understand. To put it more simply, Heart Meridian Heat Removal is about expelling these “evils”.
How to expel them? By excreting them.
If you replace Heart Meridian Heat Removal with clearing heat and promoting urination, that should be easier to understand.
It expels the heat of the heart meridian through urine. In other words, if your urine is dark yellow, it is caused by heat in the heart meridian.
Promote Salivation and Quench Thirst, Refresh Spirit and Uplift Mood, and Lingering Fragrance, these three attributes need no explanation. They are thirst-quenching, refreshing effects plus tea fragrance.
Naturally, these are only the effects of ordinary bamboo leaves.
Now, as long as Chen Han follows this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea stir-frying method, even the ordinary effect values are +1, which is certainly much stronger than usual.
And when made with bamboo leaf cores, it even has +2 attributes.
Clear Heart Fire +2, Heart Meridian Heat Removal +2; those with vexation, insomnia, palpitations, manic depression, and similar symptoms, or with heat-related yellow urine or even painful urination, will get better after drinking it.
Plus the attributes of Promote Salivation and Quench Thirst +2, Refresh Spirit and Uplift Mood +2, Lingering Fragrance +2; calling this spirit tea is well deserved, right?
So, is Chen Clan Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea not worthy of its name?
Most crucially, the game system stipulates that only tea made from bamboo leaves harvested in bamboo forests owned by the Chen Clan, and stir-fried in the crucible specially made by his uncle, will be effective.
This means this bamboo leaf tea is bound to the Chen Clan. Even if the stir-frying method is given to others, they cannot produce it.
Although the data packet （1） loaded by the game system is a bit strange, in this regard, it is still commendable.
As he was thinking this, Lin Nan had already put down his bowl, his face full of admiration. “Patriarch Chen, your medicinal cuisine is truly astonishing. I feel warm all over now, very comfortable.”
The others agreed as well. Only the woman holding tissue to the child’s nose felt a bit regretful, but fortunately the child’s nosebleed stopped after just a little.
After drinking a bowl of medicinal cuisine, Xiao Yu also put down her bowl. There was still some meat left in the pot, and the soup was about enough for three bowls, just right to leave for his uncle and the others.
So she invited Lin Nan and his group. “Mr. Lin, shall we now take the children to the empty vegetable plot to experience the fun of planting vegetables?”
“Mm, let’s go!” Lin Nan nodded. He did not forget this goal and followed Xiao Yu.
Before long, Chen Han saw his uncle come in with Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng. The three had clearly smelled the medicinal cuisine and all looked straight at the large pot of stewing medicinal cuisine.
Chen Han smiled and said, “Uncle, Uncle Dagou, Uncle Shuisheng, there is still some medicinal cuisine left. Hurry and eat. After you finish, we have important things to do.”
Chen Dagou and Chen Shuisheng nodded with big smiles.
Today they were essentially working voluntarily, but they knew the price of this medicinal cuisine. Just eating a bowl of it was a big gain. So what if they worked for free? Contributing to the family is their honor.
【Congratulations, through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained a supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
【Congratulations, through the recorded image transmitted by the Spirit Shadow Mirror, you have gained a supporter and obtained 1 point of reputation!】
Suddenly, two prompts appeared consecutively in Chen Han’s mind.
It was that video of provoking dog demons into battle that had brought two more followers.
Chen Han also checked the upgrade requirements for the sect site: 100,000 money （37,500/100,000）. 500 reputation （122/500）.
During the time of making the medicinal cuisine, reputation had increased by another 15 points.
By now, the video of provoking dog demon infighting had gained him more than 30 fans, and the video likes had already exceeded 1,The current trend suggested it would keep rising.
So he could make another video about producing Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
If the video went viral, it could also advertise Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
After all, once this thing was made, it would definitely be sold to tourists.
First, it would bring in money to pay salaries to more clan members and even raise salaries.
Previously, including his uncle and aunt-grandmother and others working in tourism in the Chen Clan Ancient Architectural Complex, their salaries were not high, very, very low, almost half-voluntary contributions to the clan.
Developing tourism for the ancient architectural complex and creating revenue for the clan members was also something his parents had wanted to do in their lifetime, and it was also the responsibility of the patriarch.
Second, this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea could become one of the Chen Clan’s signboards, and so could the medicinal cuisine. Once the signboard was established and the reputation built, it would naturally attract tourists, and many would come specifically for it.
By then, reputation could be farmed again.
With reputation, the sect site could be upgraded, and he could obtain new rewards. Perhaps there would be a method to completely cure his cancer.
This was also a virtuous cycle.
After finishing a bowl of medicinal cuisine, Chen Lin asked Chen Han, “Xiao Han, what else is there today?”
Chen Han said directly, “Uncle, I need you to specially build a crucible for stir-frying bamboo leaf tea.”
“Crucible? What is that?” Chen Lin was clearly stunned and looked at Chen Han in confusion.
“What? Uncle, you don’t understand this?” Chen Han was also stunned. This Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea was supposed to have been developed when his uncle, the Hall Elder of the Work Hall, was inspired while using Thunder Bamboo to construct a Special Spiritual Aperture defensive formation.
“I don’t understand it at all!” Chen Lin very straightforwardly waved his hand.
“Uncle, you don’t happen to also not understand how to stir-fry bamboo tea, right?” Chen Han subconsciously asked again.
“I really don’t.” Chen Lin looked at his nephew in confusion, wanting to ask why he was supposed to understand these things.
Chen Han only wanted to say one sentence: game system, do you want to come out and explain yourself?
But thinking about it, the little earth dog had been assigned the identity of a dog demon, but it was not really a dog demon; it only had dog demon abilities. The Mao Bamboo Forest had been set as the Thunder Bamboo Forest, but it was not real Thunder Bamboo.
His uncle as Hall Elder of the Work Hall was also an identity assigned by the game system. In the game system’s setting, he was an awesome Hall Elder, but in reality he was a half-free electrician, carpenter, bricklayer, livestock keeper, and planter all in one.
In short: a workhorse.
So he improvised, “Uncle, I have recently been studying the clan’s books and ancient texts and discovered a method for stir-frying bamboo tea. It should be something we can sell to tourists. But to stir-fry bamboo tea, I need you to make a dedicated crucible, which is basically an iron wok and stove made specifically for frying tea.”
“Xiao Han, if you had said it like that earlier, I would have understood.” Chen Lin immediately agreed. “That is simple. I have helped others make that before. The clan already has bricks, cement, iron woks, everything ready. I will bring people to build it for you today.”
Hearing that Chen Han had come up with something new, he was very enthusiastic.
Maybe this bamboo tea could surprise people just like the medicinal cuisine.
“Xiao Han, then what should we do?” Chen Dagou immediately asked.
Chen Han said directly, “Uncle Dagou and Uncle Shuisheng, come with me to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo leaves and bamboo leaf cores. Uncle, you get the crucible built here, and I will start experimenting with stir-frying bamboo tea.”
Chen Dagou and Chen Shuisheng nodded.
They did not know why, but they felt Xiao Han was somewhat different now, increasingly showing the demeanor of a patriarch.
While they were thinking this, Chen Han had already taken out the Spirit Shadow Mirror, opened its recording function, and started filming his uncle and the other two:
“This patriarch has studied the clan’s books and classics and discovered a special Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea that can help clan members in their cultivation. Therefore, I have summoned the Hall Elder of the Work Hall to construct a special crucible for refining Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, and I will personally lead two experts of the clan to the Thunder Bamboo Forest to pick Thunder Bamboo leaves and bamboo cores.”
“???” Chen Lin.
“???” Chen Dagou.
“???” Chen Shuisheng.
This sudden scene left the three of them completely confused.
What was going on?
The new book has already been added to the library and is being promoted. It needs read-through data!
Everyone must remember to flip to the last page; please don’t stockpile without reading.
Thank you all!
Also, I ask for two tickets, thank you again!
