Chapter 0035 – Tasting Tea (II)

“Seniors overpraise, family ancestor is more fond of drinking tea, I just often accompany my grandfather to drink tea in my spare time, see more, slightly understand a little bit of fur, if on the tea culture, Hong Kong or from the mainland, naturally the mainland’s tea culture is more profound and profound.”

Qin Xuan Bing face a slight smile, modestly replied, in fact, kung fu tea in Guangdong and Hong Kong, especially the Chaoshan region is the most popular, in these areas, eat breakfast called drinking morning tea, and noon tea, afternoon tea, visible drinking tea in their lives in the position, in Qin Xuan Bing a few years old when he watched his grandfather bubble tea every day, if on the tea brewing techniques, Qin Xuan Bing confident than the tea artisan is more than the Now this tea master is much more superior.

Between the two speak, the tea artist will also be well-brewed tea one by one to the hands of the crowd, Zhuang Rui model, also with three fingers pinch the tea cup, end to the tip of the nose gently sniff a little bit, a dense with the tea of the clear air immediately reached the lungs and bowels of the heart, the previous waiting for the annoyance is also swept away, and in its place is the mind is clear, and even in the heart of those disturbing thoughts as if it is also through a lot of.

Forced to drink the tea in the hands of the idea, Zhuang Rui carefully sipped a small mouth at the edge of the cup, a bitter taste immediately filled between the taste buds, slightly frowned, Zhuang Rui and drank the second mouth, the feeling is immediately different, the previous that the bitterness seems to have become a sweet up, wait until the third mouth to drink, Zhuang Rui only feel the lips and teeth between the aftertaste of the mouth, can not help but close his eyes, a detailed experience up! .

Zhuang Rui does not like carbonated beverages, love tea since childhood, but he has never been like this today, in a small cup of tea can actually drink out of the three flavors to, before often hear people exclaim that tea such as life, at that time Zhuang Rui did not understand, but now he felt, the first mouth of tea entrance bitter, associated with their own just out of the university school gate encountered after the frustration of the mood, that time, is not it and the mouth of this tea is extremely similar. The first sip of tea was bitter.

To the second mouth of tea when it changed to sweet and delicious, and their own experience is quite similar, since entering the pawnshop work, everything has become very smooth, and the last robbery is just an accident, and in the subsequent eyes of the mutation also gave Zhuang Rui a huge surprise.

Three mouths to drink up only left a faint aftertaste, does not imply that the world’s prosperity is over, plain is true? Although now can not experience the meaning of this layer, but Zhuang Rui’s state of mind in this moment has become a lot of calm, in the past that the heart of the desire to suppress the dust, seems not so strong.

After Zhuang Rui opened his eyes, the waiter has used the tea clip to retrieve the cup in front of him, rinsed with boiling water, began the second bubble, look at the table of the expression of the crowd, seems to be intoxicated in this fragrant tea, even has always been in front of the people do not color Qin Xuan Bing, is also a face of pondering the expression.

“Xiao Zhuang, how is it, this tea of mine is not bad, right!”

Song Jun’s words broke the tranquility in the room and interrupted everyone’s contemplation, Qin Xuan Bing slightly frowned, seemingly slightly dissatisfied.

“Brother Song, to be honest, tea I drink every day, but compared to the tea I’m drinking now, I would call it a cow drink, it’s simply incomparable, to you, I realize what is called tea tasting, it’s really beneficial ah!”

Zhuang Rui is not afraid of exposing his own shortcomings, do not understand is not understand, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Song Jun smiled and laughed, said: “small Zhuang’s character I like, will not pretend to understand, Lu old master often said, slow pouring fine taste, which can be taste, but my old Song drank so many years of tea, but also did not realize what a special flavor to, or like you said the cattle drink, that comes to the pain, unlike the old Wang, all day long to pay attention to those red tape, hahaha! ……”

“That’s called tradition, without this set of processes down, you can drink such fragrant tea? I really don’t know how you opened this teahouse, actually not closed down until now.”

Seeing Song Jun pulling the topic onto himself, Boss Wang who hadn’t been saying much scolded with a smile, but wasn’t really annoyed, it looked like the two were also used to joking around.

“The tea ceremony has been passed down for a long time since ancient times, ordinary people can’t taste anything once or twice, Mr. Zhuang’s perception is very high! Just by drinking a cup, he understood what it means to taste tea, can you tell us all about it?”

Qin Xuan Bing unexpectedly opened her mouth and interjected, the crowd was a bit surprised, the flavor of this tit-for-tat was too obvious, are Xiao Zhuang and this girl not friends?

In fact, Qin Xuan Bing didn’t know why she would say this, the words just exported in her heart, she regretted that she was a Menglang, just when she heard that in Boss Song’s words, she held Zhuang Rui in high esteem, her heart was a bit uncomfortable, this sentence involuntarily came out of her mouth.

“Right, right, Miss Qin has a point, China’s tea culture has a long history, it is true that it is not a moment to understand, Mr. Zhuang on the tea ceremony has any insights, may as well also say out for everyone to explore it!”

Qin Xuan Bing’s words just fell, Xu Wei also spoke out and said, he said this meaning, one is to please Qin Xuan Bing, two today’s occasion also let him some of the heart wrath, usually young and gold and as Xu’s Jewelry General Manager of East China’s Xu Wei, go to the general occasions, will be the protagonist of the crowd touting, but today after arriving here, the first ate a woman’s closed door, and then was so dressed in an ordinary young man stole the limelight. Ordinary young man stole the limelight, see the opportunity to taunt Zhuang Rui, naturally, to add fuel to the fire.

In fact, Xu Wei is not the kind of playboy in the minds of the people, although the origin is good, but he himself is also hard enough, from studying abroad back, from the family of a small jewelry store in the ordinary clerk to do, just five years on the time to Xu’s Jewelry General Manager of the East China region, which is in the middle of although and his origin is not unrelated, but also reflects its personal ability, counted in the young generation of the industry in the top. Industry young generation in the leading figures.

Over the years as the ancient city of northern Jiangsu Pengcheng development is very fast, people’s living standards have also improved a lot, Xu Wei wants to Xu’s jewelry chain stores into the market in Pengcheng, and Lv Laozi is not only the president of the Pengcheng Collection Association, but also Pengcheng Jewelry Association’s executive director, in the two lines inside quite influential, have his words, in the jewelry industry inside the business will undoubtedly be a lot smoother.

Xu Wei to beat around the bush through some relations, make friends with the set of elegant Xuan Lv old man, today he can participate in this small party, but also yesterday in the please Lv old man dinner time to listen to its mention, take the initiative to come to participate in the Xu Wei usually in fact, will not be so superficial, just see Qin Xuan Bing today after the shock of heavenly, the heart is a little chaotic.

And Zhuang Rui at the moment is a little depressed, he did not offend the Missy ah! Usually hold a respectful attitude and get along with it, how now give yourself a trip, praise yourself for high enlightenment? This is not called cupping people, simply cupping kill it, and that Xu Wei, TMD is simply a small person, want to pick up girls this starting point is right, but also do not step on the shoulders of buddies ah!

But now the eyes of the crowd are focused on Zhuang Rui, he is not good to avoid, in the heart of the bitter thought after some, only to open his mouth to say: “Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi once had a poem inside wrote: ‘room incense Luo medicine gas, cage warm baking tea smoke’ ancient people taste tea, pay attention to the The four realms of ‘the beauty of the environment, the beauty of the water, the beauty of the equipment, the beauty of the art’, the environment here in Brother Song, needless to say, is quiet and elegant, the ancient style is full of, can afford the word ‘the beauty of the environment’. The water used to make tea is taken from the Yunlong mountain stream spring water, its flavor is fresh and sweet, the tea is timeless and mellow, like drinking no wine, aftertaste ah! Completely set off the fragrance of tea, ‘water beauty’ this word is also deserved.”

“I’m not very knowledgeable about zisha pots, but the appearance of this pot, the appearance of the ancient and solemn reveals the simple elegance and firmness, simple and thick contains the author of the wonderful unimaginable, Brother Song can take out, naturally will not be what is not ordinary goods.”

Zhuang Rui said here paused for a moment, the above words are he saw in some history books, in fact, the identification of Yixing Zisha pots can be summarized in five words, that is: “clay, shape, work, paragraph, work”. Just this each word is far-reaching, here will not be expressed one by one.

Picked up just filled the teacup and took a sip, Zhuang Rui continued: “And the most demanding work is naturally the tea art, to us pouring the tea of this lady in the proportion of the tea, the temperature of the mastery, as well as the time of the pinch are just right, which will be the tea of the inner meaning of all the manifestations, so although I do not understand the tea ceremony, but sitting in this environment, but also feel a trace of Lu! The old master just said the three flavors of tea, that is, one flavor of tea bitter as life, two flavors of tea sweet as life, three flavors of tea light as life.”

“Previously, the kid has seen a sentence, but it seems to be able to tea of the essence of the tea included, that is, ‘Bubble a pot of three mountains and five mountains that transcends the ancient Zhongling Yuxiu nurturing the creation of fragrant tea, lit up a column of dense Zen Buddhist nature of sandalwood ‘three or five good friends, sit down to discuss the road, this life is enough, this is the kid! A little personal opinion, let everyone laugh.”

Zhuang Rui searched his intestines and racked his brain, only to put his own memory about some knowledge of tea tasting, after the integration of said out, and then asked more than one sentence, I’m afraid he will be jaw-dropping speechless.

“What’s wrong with them?” After saying that Zhuang Rui but found that several people here look at their own eyes are a little strange, even including Qin Xuan Bing, look at their own eyes and the past days are also a little different.

“Could it be that what I said was wrong? And it’s also too wrong?” Zhuang Rui scratched his head in some agony, dude this is a big disgrace.
