It didn't take long for a middle-aged man with a Chinese face, a big back, and a Tang costume to walk in, with two four-sided lion-headed walnuts coiled in his right hand.

When I was looking at him, he had already walked briskly, and asked while laughing, "Xiao Deng, did you bring a friend over as a guest today?" Then I have to bring some good tea out to entertain and save your face." ”

Immediately after that, the man looked at me and Xiao Zhou, and asked gently, "What do you call the two little brothers?"

There is no doubt that the person in front of me must be Uncle Deng, Xiao Zhou and I hurriedly got up and bowed slightly, and shouted: "Uncle Deng is good." ”

We are here to drink Bawang tea, so naturally we can't put out the mentality that the customer is the uncle, so it is more appropriate to be modest and polite.

Xiao Deng also stood up, pointed to me and Xiao Zhou and introduced, "Uncle, this is Brother Du, this is Xiao Zhou." ”

Uncle Deng still said with a smile on his face: "Two little friends, don't be so restrained, you see that Xiao Deng is more comfortable here every time than in his own home, you should also take it easy, don't be too outside." ”

Xiao Zhou and I snorted twice stupidly, nodding our heads to indicate that we would try to relax as much as possible.

Uncle Deng then said: "Xiao Deng, you came at the right time, I just brought back a batch of good tea, West Lake Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, make a pot for you to taste?"

Hearing Uncle Deng's words, I immediately became intrigued.

Longjing has been known for a long time before the Ming Dynasty, but there is no chance to taste it, and today I came across such a good opportunity. It is said that the value of the former Longjing is very high, and Chuncheng is thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, so it should be difficult to buy an authentic Ming Qianlongjing, right?

"Uncle, you also know that I'm not very interested in tea, so I just drink it casually, you just look at it, there's no need to make it too good. ”

After hearing Xiao Deng's words, I felt a little regretful in my heart, if Uncle Deng really listened to Xiao Deng's words, wouldn't he miss this opportunity to taste Ming Qian Longjing today?

Uncle Deng smiled "haha" and said: "Today, these two little friends come to my tea house, where can they be too casual, they must be entertained with good tea, then I will tell you about this tea first, maybe you will be interested." Xiao Deng, if you really don't want to drink it, you will drink boiled water for a while, and give these two little brothers a taste. ”

Although I just drink tea indiscriminately on weekdays, I don't pay attention to it, it's all because I don't have that spare money, and I really can't pay attention to it.

Actually, I'm very interested in tea and tea ceremony, as long as I encounter good tea, I definitely can't move an inch, so I have to taste it.

When I heard that Uncle Deng was going to talk about the Tea Sutra, I immediately showed a look of interest and said, "Uncle Deng, we will listen to you." ”

"It seems that Du Xiaoyou knows something about tea, so I'll just say it. ”

Then Uncle Deng beckoned everyone and said, "Come on, come on, sit down quickly, don't be too restrained." ”

After we were all seated, Uncle Deng began to talk about tea.

"This dragon well, divided from the production area, there are West Lake Longjing, Yuezhou Longjing, etc., and even Guizhou and other places also produce dragon wells, among which West Lake Longjing is the most famous. ”

"Ah, in the past, I thought that 'West Lake Longjing' was the full name of Longjing, but it turned out that West Lake Longjing was just a dragon well that represented West Lake?" I interjected.

"Yes, the reason why the West Lake Longjing is of high value is not only because of the fame of the West Lake and the rising boat, the real West Lake Longjing entrance is not green, there is a sweetness, with enough fragrance and freshness, the fragrance is long-lasting, the tea taste is bland, after tasting carefully, the whole mouth will be filled with the aroma of tea, giving people a very refreshing feeling, and the tea fragrance is overflowing. ”

It turns out that there are so many sayings in just one dragon well, and everyone's interest is becoming stronger and stronger.

"There are several production areas in West Lake Longjing, mainly Shifeng, Longjing, Yunqi, Hupao, Meijiawu, among which Shifeng Mountain Longjing is the most famous, I think it should be hyped out, I have tasted tea for so many years, and the tea in these production areas has not tasted much difference. I contracted five acres of tea fields in Meijiawu, West Lake, as our Longjing production base, although it is only five acres, but it is not easy to get. The Longjing that I am going to give you today is the Longjing produced in our own tea garden, so it is absolutely authentic. Uncle Deng said very proudly.

"Uncle Deng, can there be so many production areas near this West Lake?" I asked the question in my heart again.

"Yes, the West Lake Scenic Area is very large, the West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a city, and a lot of tea trees are planted on the slopes of these three sides. Meijiawu is located in the Jiuxi area on the south side of the West Lake, where the climate is humid, the scenery is pleasant, it is a rare Longjing planting area, you can go there to play when you have time, you can see the Longjing planting base of our tea house, each tea garden has a stele mark. Without further ado, you sit down and I'll arrange it. ”

After saying this, Uncle Deng stood up very happily, crossed his four-sided lion head and left.

After a while, the door was lightly slammed and we shouted "Please come in".

Suddenly, a beautiful woman in ancient costumes walked in with light steps, and her clothes should be the skirt series in ancient costumes, which is plain and elegant. The beauties in ancient costumes came over, and the three of us couldn't help but be stunned.

After she saw the expressions of the three people in front of her, she covered her face with her sleeves, smiled slightly, and said, "Three sons, see and smile." ”

We took a closer look, only to find that the woman in front of us turned out to be Chen Shiyi with a very different style, and she was really impressed after not seeing her for three days.

Xiao Zhou involuntarily said with emotion: "It's so beautiful!"

"May I ask if this woman is a talented woman from the south of the Yangtze River who crossed over from the land of Jiangnan in the Song Dynasty?"

"Brother Du, I really have good eyesight, I can see at a glance that my dress is the appearance of the Song Dynasty. ”

"Where, where? I am completely blinded, it is said that Jiangnan women have such an elegant and gentle temperament, and I remembered that Jiangnan Hangcheng was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, so I just said casually. ”

"Congratulations Dugo, Meng is right. ”

Then, Chen Shiyi walked to the seat behind the tea table and sat down upright.

After Xiao Deng saw Chen Shiyi's performance, he asked, "Shiyi, are you going to show us a tea ceremony?

"Hehe, I've just been learning for a few days, just painting a scoop according to the gourd, and offering ugliness. ”

Immediately afterwards, a waiter brought a small bottle of tea, which was sealed in a small blue and white porcelain jar and labeled "Special Longjing", and the waiter left the room after putting it down.

Chen Shiyi was very surprised when she saw the tea, and then said: "This is a freshly picked Ming Dynasty special grade Longjing, all the same color of one bud and one leaf, just fried out, Mr. Chen is really willing, I don't know if you can taste the taste." ”

"Don't care so much, I've been listening to how good the front Longjing is, but I haven't drunk it, since I've brought it over, hurry up and give it to us to taste." Xiao Deng urged.

Chen Shiyi smiled awkwardly and said, "My tea art is sparse, why don't I find a tea master to help you brew?"

Xiao Deng hurriedly stopped her and said, "Farewell, no matter how precious this tea is, it is only such a small jar, at most twenty or thirty grams, it is not expensive, you don't have to go so far, just taste it casually." ”

Xiao Zhou on the side was also smiling and echoing.

Chen Shiyi glared at Xiao Deng and said, "It's really a terrible thing to let the two of you taste such a good tea, why can't it be expensive? This small bottle, simply selling tea, is estimated to be more than 5,000 yuan." ”

The three of us let out an "ah" at the same time, its value far exceeded our expectations, and it was indeed enough to give us such a good tea.

I hurriedly said: "Forget it, let's just drink an ordinary one, such a precious one, let's keep it for sale money." ”

Xiao Zhou followed and said: "This can of tea has caught up with my monthly salary, it's really extravagant, it's really unacceptable." ”

But Xiao Deng waved his hand and said: "Shiyi, hurry up and soak it, my uncle doesn't care about this, it's just a little meaning, since it's so precious, let's just taste it." ”

Chen Shiyi smiled helplessly, she boiled the water to 85 degrees, brewed the prepared glass teapot and glass cup with boiling water, and then assigned a small glass to each person.

She said: "This is a special Longjing, just use a glass to brew, it is advisable to use 80~85 degrees of hot water to brew, and we use Yunnan mountain spring water, this mountain spring is the most suitable for making tea, which can perfectly reflect the tea aroma." ”

Chen Shiyi took the teabottle and opened the seal, took a teaspoon, took out a teaspoon, poured it out of the glass teapot, then picked up the kettle, aimed at the mouth of the kettle and poured it slowly, and then gradually lifted the kettle more than a foot, during which the water flowed steadily into the teapot without stopping, and so on three times just poured a full pot.

At this point, I asked suspiciously, "Doesn't this tea need to be washed?"

I saw Chen Shiyi take out an alien gaze and look at me, and said, "Brother Du, this tea can't be washed." ”

"I saw that many tea masters poured the first brew directly, commonly known as washing tea. Xiao Zhou also asked.

"Good quality green tea does not need to be washed, green tea processing is simple, basically very clean, the essence of tea is sixty or seventy percent, in this first brew, if it is washed, it is directly wasted such good tea. The processing of black tea and oolong tea is cumbersome, and it is inevitable that there will be many impurities mixed in, so it needs to be washed. ”

It turns out that there are so many exquisitenesses, all of which are shallow.

Chen Shiyi continued: "Longjing tea brewing pays attention to high chong, three ups and three downs, which is the so-called 'phoenix three nods', this first brew is the most precious, I will quickly pour it for you." ”

Soon we each got a cup, Shiyi picked up the small cup in front of her and took a sip of it, and everyone followed closely behind and imitated Shiyi's appearance and tasted the dragon well in the cup.

After listening to Chen Shiyi's explanation, it turned out that I thought that knowing a little about tea was a complete manifestation of self-righteousness, and I was really still a primary school student in the tea ceremony.

Good tea is really different, the entrance is fragrant, sweet and fragrant, and people who don't know tea can taste this is a good tea.

This is the difference between a rocket and a donkey cart, when the difference between the two things is so great that even the layman can easily distinguish the advantages and disadvantages.

We tasted the premium Longjing for a long time, and in any case, it really felt good to drink. Chen Shiyi was also very excited, saying that we had obtained such a superb tea after touching our light products.

Chatting while tasting the dragon well, I found that it is no wonder that Uncle Deng is very satisfied with Chen Shiyi, and we are also very impressed when we see her various performances.

Chen Shiyi learns the tea scripture, tea ceremony, and tea art very quickly, plus she has a good image, good temperament, and is versatile, which is simply a rare talent.

Uncle Deng was able to take out such a high-end Longjing tea to entertain us, probably to thank Xiao Deng for recommending a talent to him.
