"What is the matter with me, gentleman? Below is the director of the Kulaixuan Museum, my name is Ding Bogu. Mr. Curator officially introduced himself to Doolin.

"Hello Curator Ding, my name is Du Lin and I am a doctor. ”

"Doctor Du, I'm glad to be there, I don't know if Dr. Du has any advice for coming?" Director Ding waved his hand as he spoke, signaling the two staff members to go to sell tickets and return to the door to sell tickets, and to go to see the surveillance and go back to the porch to see the surveillance.

"I don't dare to give advice, but I'm very interested in one of your collections and want to know about it. Durin gestured to the main house where the jewelry box was kept, meaning that the object I was interested in was there.

"Okay, Dr. Nadu, please come to my office for a cup of tea, and I'll have someone send you the collection in your photo, and we can have a good exchange." Ding Bogu made a "please" gesture.

"Then bother Curator Ding, what I want to see is the jewelry box. Durin smiled.

Hearing that what Du Lin wanted to see was the jewelry box, Ding Bogu's expression froze slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and politely led Du Lin to his office.

The curator's office is located in an ear room next to the landlord of the first courtyard, according to the pattern of this old-fashioned courtyard, this place is for the eldest son of the family to live, but I don't know if this house is Ding Bogu's own, if it is really his family's ancestral property, then he may be the eldest son of the family.

As soon as you enter the ear room, you will be greeted by a faint aroma, like blue and musk, which is not the aroma of flowers and plants, nor the fragrance of spices, but the aroma of natural wood from the full set of old-fashioned furniture in this room.

This makes Du Lin, who has seen a wide range of knowledge, a little staggered, this kind of old furniture made of high-quality special wood, a very rare piece, in front of him is a complete set, this director Ding cries poor to his subordinates all day long, but this is just a set of furniture in the director's office is worth at least a few million, which is much more luxurious than imported foreign furniture, but in the eyes of people who don't know how to do it, they really think it is just an ordinary set of old furniture.

"Doctor Du, please sit down for a moment, and I'll make you a pot of tea. Ding Bogu raised his hand and said, "You're welcome when you come to me, please feel free to sit down!"

Du Lin looked left and right at the furnishings in the curator's office, and said, "Curator Ding is an elegant person! The furnishings and layout in this office can be said to be full of mysteries. ”

"Hey, I often have some friends here who are fiddling with antiques, and some of them are also interested in Feng Shui metaphysics, and my layout here is all according to their intentions, which is just auspicious, which makes Dr. Du smile. ”

This office, but Ding Bogu's proud work, not only the office furniture is exquisite, but also the feng shui layout, but also deliberately found a master to point out, as Du Lin said, there are mysteries everywhere, not a very well-established person, it is difficult to see the clues.

In this office, eight rosewood chairs and four tea tables are mainly located in the north, with goose wings arranged left and right, and a low table in front of the main seat is placed on a "Dapeng spreading wings" and Tianyu ornaments, which is a pattern of "grand development".

At this time, Ding Bogu was fiddling with the tea set in a large tea sea placed behind the side of the main seat, Du Linggan was bored when he sat down, so he simply stood aside and watched Ding Bogu make tea, Ding Bogu glanced up at Du Lin, and did not speak, just concentrated on making tea. Peerless Tang Gate fo

I saw Ding Bogu lift a small red clay stove of about six or seven inches from the bottom of the tea sea, put it on a round wooden pier next to the tea sea, and use a lighter and oil hemp wool to light the charcoal fire in the furnace, and the small stove has a lid and a door, which is very exquisitely made.

The tea set is also very elegant, it is the Yixing purple clay pot, the whole pot is about the size of a fist, and there are four small teacups on the side of the pot, white as jade, thin as paper, Du Lin is very suspicious that when he picks up this thing for a while, if he uses a little more strength, he will be able to crush it.

Although the small red clay stove is very small, but I don't know what kind of charcoal is used in it, just light the fire and burn very strongly, in an instant, the water is boiling, after the water boils, Ding Bogu picked up a small kettle with one hand, and the other hand immediately put a kettle up, and said: "Doctor Du, the water I use to make tea, but it is the water taken from the natural mountain spring on Longquan Mountain, Su Dongpo once said, 'living water must be cooked with live fire', which means that the mountain spring water in the pot should be boiled with a strong fire." ”

Du Lin laughed secretly in his heart, you just fooled, I just came down from Longquan Mountain, and the springs in that place are guarded by special personnel, and you can't get them if you are tired, you might as well say that this is a little sweet with the farmer's three fists.

Ding Bogu first used a teaspoon to take an appropriate amount of tea in a white porcelain jar, but did not put the tea leaves into the purple clay pot, but lifted the kettle and poured the empty pot with boiling water.

"The purpose of this action is to warm the body of the kettle, which is also known as 'warming the kettle'. ”

Durin nodded, meaning taught.

After the "warm pot", Ding Bogu used a teaspoon to dial the tea leaves into the purple clay pot, the tea leaves are green tea beans one by one, slightly smaller than soybeans, and then lift the kettle on the small stove to pour water into the purple clay pot, stop when the water is full of the spout, stretch out two fingers, pick up the lid and scrape off the foam of the spout, and then cover the lid, wash off the foam on the lid with boiling water, and the excess water flows down the groove in the tea sea to the bucket below the tea sea.

Du Lin's nose twitched, his sense of smell is very sensitive, the lid of the pot has not been opened, but the tip of the nose can already smell the rich aroma of tea, although Du Lin has no special hobby for drinking tea, but smelling this tea fragrance is already eager to taste the taste of this tea.

Unexpectedly, Ding Bogu directly poured out all the water in the purple clay pot, saying that this is called tea washing, and the purpose is to wash away the floating dust on the surface of the tea leaves. Du Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, just drink tea, this is really a lot.

Pouring boiling water into the purple clay pot again, Ding Bogu scalded each white porcelain teacup with boiling water again, saying that this is called a "warm cup", and naturally poured it out again.

After warming the cup, the second brew of tea in the purple clay pot is almost good, Ding Bogu holds the pot in one hand, the mouth of the pot is next to the teacup, and the tea is poured into the four cups in a cycle, the purpose is to make the tea soup in the cup consistent, and the low pour is to not lose too much aroma, and when the tea soup in the pot is about to end, pour the rest of the pot in each cup, these are the essence of the whole pot of tea soup, and should be evenly divided bit by bit. At this point, the whole process of making tea is completed.

The four cups of tea were packed in a tea tray and brought to a tea table in the row of seats on the left, and the two sat down on either side of the tea table.

Ding Bogu brought the first cup of tea to Du Lin, Du Lin took the teacup but did not move, making tea is already so particular, who knows if there is anything to say about drinking tea?

So he waited for Ding Bogu to hand the second cup up, followed his example, held the rim of the cup with his thumb and index finger, pressed the bottom of the cup with his middle finger, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose. Holding back the idea of drinking the tea in his hand, he carefully took a sip on the side of the cup, and suddenly felt the color and taste fragrant, and the aftertaste was long, and he drank the second sip, and after drinking, the mouth was full of fragrance, sweet and refreshing, and the whole throat seemed to become sweet, and when the third sip was drunk, Yang Zuo only felt that the aftertaste between his lips and teeth was full of fragrance, regardless of whether this water was the spring water of Longquan Mountain, but this cup of tea was really good.
