Chapter 403: One Cup
The tea ceremony originated in China, but it was in decline.
Zhuangzi's "Wandering Away" once told such a story:
There is a family that has been helping people wash mattresses for a living, and there is a prescription for smearing the medicine on their hands in winter, even if the weather is cold and they are wet every day, their hands will not crack. (The origin of moisturizing oil is really early.) )
When a merchant heard about this, he went to the way: "Sell me this secret recipe, and I will give you a hundred taels of silver." ”
The family discussed, "Our ancestors have been helping people wash for generations, and what we have accumulated is only a few taels of silver, and now we can get a hundred taels at once, can we sell it or not?"
Of course sell!
The two sides traded, and the major rejoiced.
The merchant got the secret recipe and recommended himself to King Wu.
In the cold winter, Wu Yue fought the war, and the Wu people defeated the Yue people, and it was this secret recipe that they relied on.
King Wu rewarded the merchant generously.
How to reward it?
Crack the ground and seal it!
This is a step to the top.
And the Huanxi family, in addition to the improvement of life, still has to rely on the people of the Huanxi to live. And, if nothing major changes, they will probably continue to do this for generations to come......
Of course, this story is not quite appropriate to describe what happened to the tea ceremony in China and Japan.
It's just that there are so many things in China that I can't even cherish them.
On the Japanese side, after accepting the tea ceremony, "the broom is cherished", and then flowers bloom from the dust.
This is true not only for the tea ceremony, but also for many other things.
CHINA, as long as you have studied English for a few days, you should know what this word means, but its original meaning refers to ceramics.
China, the ancestor of ceramics, the source of ceramics, CHINA=CHINA=ceramics. But today, in the international market, Chinese porcelain has sales but no brand.
Where is the best porcelain?
It's Japanese.
It's European.
The brand can't be built, and the quantity will be lost one day, until in the end, there is nothing left.
One day in the future, I am afraid that this will be the case.
In fact, judging from the teacher's description, it is almost the same now.
Our dross, discarded, and then to others become the essence, then the world's fame, shining, and then become its own civilization and culture of the brilliant pearls.
The old man could see it.
Xu Guangling is young after all, although his personality is indifferent to many things, but when he thinks about this, he is still a little uneasy after all.
The three of them moved to the side room together.
Ito Maki clapped his hands, and then the waiters below came up one by one, brought everything they needed, and then went down again, leaving only Xu Guangling and three people in the room.
Today's weather is nice and sunny.
The warm spring sunlight shines through the corner of the large window and shines on the small side of the wing, which looks quiet and vivid.
It was in this atmosphere that Mari Ito began the tea ceremony performance.
It's not so much a performance as a practice.
Xu Guangling saw in it a little intoxication of seriousness, devotion, immersion, and self-indulgence. He is familiar with such a state of mind and body.
A few months ago, a lot of times, he was like that.
As for now, as the understanding and realization of Fu Xijue become deeper and deeper, in a sense, Xu Guangling has actually been immersed in a certain state, not a fixed state, but it is also second only to.
So day and night, he can switch seamlessly, because the physical and mental state is not much different in these two time periods.
Probably to follow the local customs, or to take care of Xu Guangling's habitual relationship, Ito Mari's tea ceremony performance is not very formal, and both the guest and the host are not very formal, well, it can even be said to be very informal.
However, there are meanings of harmony, respect, purity, and silence.
Mari Ito has.
Maki Ito has it.
Xu Guangling also has it.
"Xu Jun, please use tea!" Ito Mari made tea, and finally Ito Maki presented it to Xu Guangling.
Xu Guangling stretched out his hands to take it, and then nodded seriously to the two sisters, "Thank you!"
After drinking, Xu Guangling put down the cup in his hand, took another empty cup on the table, poured a glass of water under the somewhat surprised gaze of the Ito sisters, handed it to Ito Mari and said: "Miss Ali, you gave me a cup of tea, I will give you a cup too." ”
Maki Ito was a little puzzled.
Ito Mari took it happily, but when he brought his hands to his mouth, he didn't drink it for the first time, but said to Xu Guangling with a smile: "Xu Jun, if I give you two, three, and ten cups, will you also give me two, three, and ten cups?"
"No more, just this one. Xu Guangling said.
"Hey, stingy!" Mari Ito muttered quietly, but in such a quiet environment, there was no difference between her low and loud voices.
Ito Maki was embarrassed to hear it, and wanted to explain to Xu Guangling but didn't know what to say.
Undefeated in the sea of business.
However, the teammate is a pig.
This foolish sister can't take it!
The next moment, Mari Ito drank all the water in the cup.
And just the first sip of contact, her eyes brightened with inexplicable joy, and after drinking, she even sprinkled to Xu Guangling, "Xu Jun, give me another cup!"
"Of the three chess pieces we agreed upon, there are two left. Xu Guangling said, "If you can win me......"
Without waiting for Xu Guangling to finish speaking, Ito Mari stretched out his little hand and turned his palm upward, "A gentleman's word." ”
Xu Guangling smiled and shook his head, but he also complied with his wishes, and also reached out and patted her hand gently, "The weight of Jiuding." ”
Maki Ito's eyes flashed.
Moved back to the chess table from the side room, and as soon as he sat down, Ito Mari's little face became bitter, and he looked at Xu Guangling with a little disdain.
Xu Guangling was unmoved, "Miss Ali, in the second game, it's time for me to go first?"
Mari Ito pouted slightly, then nodded slowly.
On the chess board, in the case of taking the lead, with Xu Guangling's current level and level, as long as he doesn't want to lose, no one can win him. It won't be before, and it won't be either.
As if resigned to his fate, Ito Mari completely gave up resistance, and was killed by Xu Guangling without leaving a piece of armor.
The third set started quickly.
In this set, the successive hands were re-castled.
As a result, Maori Ito, who took the lead, became serious again, and looked much more serious than in the first set, and even the small body sitting upright looked quite imposing.
From the beginning of the game to the end.
There were many fights in the middle, and every time, she had a very amazing performance, which was a few times that Xu Guangling was amazed and amazed.
However.
But.
Xu Guangling did not let in.
So in this set, the two sides ended in a draw.
"Miss Ito, Miss Ari, goodbye. Have a nice time in China!" Xu Guangling got up and went downstairs.
