"Come on, come on, drink something, don't say it, our Uncle Fang's side, the tea is really good, cultural people, haha. Da Zhuang opened the door of the store and greeted me.

As soon as I was about to enter the store, I immediately looked at the plaque "Xuanji Pavilion" hanging on it. Thinking in his heart, Xuanji and Yuheng, the first four stars and the last three stars of the Big Dipper, respectively, with Xuanji as the name of the store, should be like the meaning of insight into the heavens, or is it a homonym for the mysteries inside? ”

"Well, the big red robe. Uncle Fang blew with me for a long time, saying that although it was not from those trees, it was also transplanted, what altitude and temperature, I couldn't understand it, anyway, it was good, I secretly drank some yesterday afternoon, and I didn't think it was stronger than our flower tea. ”

Da Zhuang's words made me interested, although I am not very old, but I have been drinking tea for many years. It's that the family is generally flower tea, and you can drink some green tea in the spring, but I've heard of this big red robe, and I've read the introduction in the book, but I haven't drunk it. Then he said, "The big red robe, Zhuangzhuang, bring it to me to see." ”

"Okay, I'll find a jar for you first, you can wait. Zhuang Zhuang rummaged as he spoke.

As soon as I heard that I was going to bring a big vat to me, I was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Stop, stop, don't mess with things." We drink tea in the north, we are not very particular, it is a jar, like my father's mouth, put down half a cup of flower tea at once, and drink it for a day. This Da Hong Pao is a kung fu tea in the south, inheriting the ancient tea ceremony, very particular, you have to take a purple clay pot or a bowl to drink. ”

"My brother Niu, why are you like Uncle Fang, chattering. Da Zhuang complained and handed me the tea canister, "Oh, look, the tea leaves are still in this purple sand tea can." ”

As a result, I opened the tea canister, and the shape of the tea leaves was neat and symmetrical, the tea cords were strong and tight, the color was green and brown and fresh, slightly curved, commonly known as the back of the toad, and it smelled of the aroma of orchids. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Well, good tea." ”

"Hehe, you can say okay, how do you say we can drink this tea. "Although it is borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, no, it should be said that it is more appropriate to steal flowers and offer Buddha. But Da Zhuang felt very proud.

"Look at what kind of tea utensils Uncle Fang usually uses to drink this tea, take it, and then boil the water in the kettle, and boil it. I instructed.

"It's the tea sea, a little red little purple clay pot, that has a matching cup, you take two, I'll boil water." ”

Following the place pointed by Da Zhuang, I looked over, there was a small vermilion purple clay pot on the tea sea, from the shape of the vessel is a Xi Shi pot, the mud used should be Da Hong Pao vermilion mud, see that the pulp is still an old object. According to records, the Shih Tzu pot is the first of Xu Youquan, originally called Shih Tzu milk, the shape of the pot is like the plump breasts of the beautiful Shih Tzu, indeed this pot is like a plump **, the pot button is like **, the flow is short and slightly thick, the shape of the inverted ear, the cover adopts the truncated lid type, the bottom of the pot is adducted near the bottom, and the bottom is pinched. When the literati of later generations were playing, they always felt that "Shih Tzu Milk" was indecent, and renamed it "Inverted Shih Tzu Pot". In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Wu Meiding, a writer and pot appreciator, in "Yangxian Tea Pot Fu", the Xishi pot is compared to Xizi, and it is praised as "rhyme enemy beauty, Gegao Xizi; The waist is about the rhombic flower of the Su Zhao Qingjing, and the shoulder fruit is cut into the lotus of the golden pond. "It can be seen that the artistic value is extremely high.

"Good tea, good pot. I exclaimed, thinking of boiling tea, "water is the mother of tea", so I instructed Da Zhuang, "Don't use tap water, see if there is mountain spring water." ”

"Brother Niu, you are really godly, I remember that Uncle Fang deliberately went to the mountain spring in Xishan yesterday for this tea. I've boiled the water. ”

"You must boil boiling water, such a good pot, such a good tea, don't spoil it!" I instructed.

"Please, okay you, I don't know how to boil water. ”

After a while, the kettle whistled.

I fiddled with the teapot and teacup and asked Da Zhuang to carry the kettle. I asked Da Zhuang, "Uncle Fang, is there any incense here?"

"Are there mosquitoes in the house?"

After listening to Da Zhuang's words, I almost didn't vomit blood, and I explained, "It's not mosquito coils that smoke mosquitoes, it's sandalwood." Seeing that he didn't react, I looked around, and there was an incense burner on the shore of the tea sea, so I pointed to it and said, "This is the incense burner..."

Before I could finish my sentence, Da Zhuang came to his senses, "Oh, oh, yes, right next to you, right hand side, below, right." ”

Following the instructions, I took out a box of incense, lit it with a lighter, and placed it in the stove.

"Ouch, Brother Niu, let's hurry up, I'm thirsty. Da Zhuang complained.

"Don't worry, this is called burning incense and calming down. Then, I took out some tea leaves from the tea canister with tea and showed it to Da Spectacular, who was naturally stunned.

"What's so important about that?"

"This is called Peacock Open Screen, Ye Jia rewards. Let you see the beauty of this tea. I put down the tea choice, poured boiling water on the Shih Tzu pot, and then put the tea leaves in, and read: "Mengchen Mulin, oolong into the palace." At this time, Da Zhuang was speechless and listened quietly.

Then, I held the kettle high, aimed it at the purple clay pot, and poured boiling water into the kettle. I saw the tea leaves tumbling in the pot, and the fragrance of tea instantly overflowed, refreshing people's hearts. Put down the kettle, use the tea lid to brush off the white foam on the water surface, and say in a good way: "The mountains and flowing water, the spring breeze refers to the face." ”

Immediately, I poured the first cup of tea into the fair cup, poured the tea from the fair cup on the teapot and the teacup, and poured out the tea in the teacup. shouted: "Mountains and flowing water, spring breeze fingers." "Because it was the first time for me to make tea according to the book, my mood was getting more and more excited, and the tone was getting higher and higher.

I lifted the kettle again, poured water into the purple clay pot, and shouted, "Return the jade liquid to the kettle, and then pour nectar." After about ten seconds, he poured tea back and forth into our teacups in turn, "Guan Gong patrols the city, Han Xin orders troops!"

After finishing pouring the tea, I was a little excited, and with a smile on my face, I was about to brag to Da Zhuang. At this time, there was applause at the door, "Yes, young man, yes!"

At the door was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a Tang costume, playing with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, looking a little fairy-like, slapping happily, and shouting in his mouth.

It turned out that the scene of me making tea was all watched by people, and I thought to myself, if this is an expert, then my clumsy method is not a joke, so I blushed a little. I hurriedly accosted, "Sir, I'm sorry, I was a little nervous just now, I didn't pay attention to you coming in, this guy is a guy from this store, what do you see and tell him." Then I pushed down Wang Dazhuang, who was still stunned, and he was really confused by my actions.

"Oh oh, hello, whatever you want, whatever you want. Da Zhuang hurriedly greeted.

The middle-aged man looked at us with a smile and said, "Why don't you invite me to a cup of tea first?"

"Sir, please come in. ”

With Da Zhuang's invitation, the middle-aged man sat in the guest seat. I hurriedly took a new teacup, but unexpectedly he used his thumb and index finger to hold the cup, and the middle finger topped the cup, picked up the tea I poured just now, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and said: "The soup is brownish yellow, translucent and heavy, the tea is fragrant, and the tea leaves are thick and powerful. Then he took a sip and continued to praise: "The entrance is slightly bitter and the aftertaste is full, heavy charm and sweetness." Not bad, not bad. ”

His movements were very elegant, and I knew with my toes that he was an expert, and his face was unconsciously hot.

"Young man, do I have any reputation for drinking tea?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Appreciating the three colors, like to smell the fragrance, the three dragons protect the tripod, the first taste of strange tea. I replied weakly, and his professional and skillful movements told me that I was playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and it was the class that got the axe.

"Okay, okay, little brother, there are not many young people who know the tea ceremony now! What's your name?" the middle-aged man's voice was full of appreciation.

"My name is Niu Xiaoben, this is the guy in the store, I am Xiao Wang Dazhuang. "Speaking of which, I'm a little embarrassed, I'm obviously here as a guest, but now I'm anti-guest.

Da Zhuang saw my embarrassment and hurriedly said, "Sir, look, what do you need?"

The middle-aged man was very calm, with a smile on his face, and said, "I came here with Boss Fang, and I arrived a little early today, so I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for him." ”

Hearing that it was a guest invited by the boss, Da Zhuang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted: "You are Mr. Yang, Uncle Fang instructed me to come." Then he hurriedly called me, "Brother Niu, what's that, hurry up and pour tea for Mr. Yang." ”

I was just about to pick up the kettle, when the middle-aged man said, "No, Brother Niu, I'll just come by myself." Then, opening the lid of the kettle, lifting the kettle with one hand, the boiling water rushed into the kettle like a jade pillar, causing a ripple, "Brother Niu, you also taste this tea." ”

After three brews of tea, Mr. Yang said: "Water is good water, the pot is a good pot, and tea is also good tea. ”

After hearing this, I was even more shocked that Mr. Yang was a celestial man, and he could actually drink tea and that this water was not burned with charcoal. In other words, in the past few years, every household has not used gas for electricity, and some people still use charcoal to boil water?

"Brother Niu, do you feel after tasting this tea?"

This sentence was asked very plainly, but Mr. Yang always had a kind of aura of a superior person, which made me hold my breath, very nervous, and did not answer for a while.

"Hehe, just talk about it. Maybe Mr. Yang saw my nervousness and spoke.

"Mr. Yang, then I'll talk about it casually. This tea is big, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. The first cup of tea is slightly bitter, the second cup is sweet, and after the third cup it is a little bland. Life is like this tea, dry and bitter at the beginning, full and fragrant after brewing, through ups and downs, after all, it is calm and peaceful. As the so-called tea is like life, it is light and tasteful, humble and comfortable. "I can't help but reply when I think of the suffering of not having a mother since I was a child, the survival of the epidemic, and the comfortable and peaceful life since I entered university.

After saying this, Mr. Yang stood up, looked at me stupidly, did not speak for a while, and then clapped his hands slowly, nodded his head, and read "Okay, okay." "Big, the strong guy also applauded unconsciously.

I thought I had said the wrong thing, but I didn't expect it to be recognized, so I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and I was ready to be humble and say, "Mr. Yang..."

"Brother Niu, don't call me Mr. Yang in the future, my name is Yang Zhigang, and you can call me Brother Yang in the future. I like you a lot. ”

These words made Wang Dazhuang next to him shudder. His exaggerated movements made Brother Yang feel speechless, and hurriedly said: "It's appreciation, appreciation, haha." ”

I was just about to answer, when Uncle Fang's voice came from the door, "Yo Mr. Yang, come so early, please take a seat, please take a seat." ”
