Chapter 485: The Art of Tea
There were chairs and small tables in the bamboo pavilion, and the four of them sat down around before Teacher Zhang said, "Master, I have told you everything before, Miss Su wants to find a teacher for the child to practice martial arts, and then practice it herself." This time, Miss Su came and brought you a gift. ”
Su Ruotong handed over the bamboo tube in his hand and said, "This is the whole bamboo tea I made myself." ”
"Don't you know, when I came, I secretly drank a small pinch on the plane, and the people on the plane almost didn't rob us, that smell. Teacher Zhang said with a smile to the teacher. He and Mr. Zhang have been masters and apprentices for a lifetime, and there is no difference between father and son, so this kind of thing dares to be said in a big way.
His master just laughed, but he didn't match, he had seen a lot of good things in his life, and he had never paid attention to appetite, no matter how fragrant this tea was, his interest was general.
Teacher Zhang must let Su Ruotong leave a good impression on the old man, so he hurriedly said: "You sit, I'll go to the front to get hot water, and make a cup for your old man, Master, and you will know how fragrant it is." "The sooner the old man can drink this tea, the better it will be for Su Ruotong.
Teacher Zhang rushed out, but here, the old man was looking at Su Ruotong.
He watched the video of Su Ruotong performing at Xinhai University, and it did look a little interesting. However, he has always disliked accepting female apprentices to practice martial arts, even his own apprentices have also taught them, and it is best not to accept female apprentices. It's not that he discriminates against women, but that learning martial arts is very bitter, and physical contact is inevitable.
If you want to cultivate martial arts, you must first be right. Something happened, if two people are unmarried and I am unmarried, it's better to make a couple, if one party has a family or a partner, then it's troublesome.
This kind of trouble can even ruin the life of a warrior.
And this Miss Su is not only a woman, but also a beautiful woman, and a beautiful woman with a family, I heard that she is not short of money, and when she lives a rich life, she is prone to mental problems, and in all fairness, he doesn't want this trouble.
Moreover, his old apprentice Zhang Tingxiu said that he was a warm-hearted person, but for the sake of this Su Ruotong, he was a little worried about whether this young Su Ruotong had given his old apprentice some ecstasy.
Su Ruotong couldn't see what the old man thought in his heart, but she didn't have any special resistance.
The first time I met, it is difficult to say that people are so sympathetic to her, especially this old man who has a lot of experience in his life and doesn't know how many things he has encountered, can maintain a kind attitude, but he is suspicious, but he doesn't put a hat on her head all at once, it is already very good.
There were only three of them left in the pavilion, Su Taohua looked left and right, and felt that this bamboo forest was quite interesting, full of towering verdant bamboos, and the flowery garden at home was completely two styles.
The old man stood up suddenly and said, "Tingxiu's meaning is to let me accept you as an apprentice, but I haven't accepted apprentices for many years, and I don't have the energy to teach a little bit of discipleship, so I'll try your kung fu first." ”
It means that if Su Ruotong can't do it, don't mention the matter of apprenticeship for a while.
Although Su Ruotong hasn't practiced for many years, she also knows that this one is inevitable and she must go. After she got Teacher Zhang's notice, she didn't think of a solution, so she searched on the Internet and actually found the old man's martial arts video.
The old man has been running a study class for so many years, of course, there will be performance videos left, although it is not very popular, but it is quite clear, that is, the age is relatively old, the old man on it looks like he is only fifty or sixty years old, his hair is not very white, and now he is gray-haired, at least seventy-five.
After watching the video for several days, Su Ruotong analyzed a lot of old man's moves, several of his killing moves, as well as a few clever and familiar moves that he was very skilled in at a glance and often used, and thought of ways to deal with them. If the old man used these tricks when he fought against her, she still had a little bit of coping power, if the old man's martial arts tricks had changed too much over the years, and he had made great progress, she would have no choice.
As soon as the old man made a move, it was completely different from his age, Su Ruotong's pupils shrank slightly, although it was obvious that his physical strength and strength were not as good as when he was fifty or sixty years old in the video, but obviously, his tricks were a little more spicy.
Fortunately, Su Ruotong thought of a way to crack this trick and dealt with it.
The old man was unexpected, he originally wanted to defeat Su Ruotong in one move, even if he didn't defeat her, he wanted her to show her decline, so that she could be a little awe-inspired, and also hit her morale, so that she would be discouraged about practicing martial arts, but she didn't expect Su Ruotong to take it.
Next, he made another move, Su Ruotong looked at his trick, and her heart was happy, she had cracked it on the Internet.
can't blame the old man for always making old tricks, it can only be said that Su Ruotong's preparation work is too sufficient, there are a total of thirty videos about him on the Internet that are not repeated, adding up to nearly ten hours, Su Ruotong spent five days, forgetting to sleep and eating, going back and forth, looking over and over, and also made a lot of notes and drills of dismantling moves.
A martial artist's martial arts, generally by the time he is fifty or sixty years old, has been completely stereotyped, and then there are changes, it is also on this basis, even if he breaks through, that is, at this age, and then later, physical strength and energy, and even brain power, all begin to decline, unless it is some genius, will suddenly break through again after the age of sixty, but this situation is very rare.
The nature of the old man gradually came up, and he no longer attacked fiercely, but slowed down a little, he wanted to see where Su Ruotong's limit was.
The two of you came and went, and after a while, more than 50 moves were dismantled. Su Ruotong narrowly lost two of them, and then miraculously survived.
The old man also saw that Su Ruotong's talent and foundation are there, and they are all very good, but they have been abandoned all these years.
It's just more than fifty moves, which has completely consumed all of Su Ruotong's physical strength, and she feels that she has reached the limit.
So, when the old man attacked again, she jumped out of the circle and said, "I don't have the strength to fight anymore." ”
The old man nodded to Su Ruotong: "You are already very good." "Even his apprentices, who have practiced for eight or nine years, I am afraid that they can reach the level of Su Ruotong. What's more, Su Ruotong's way of dismantling some moves is really very ingenious, and he can ponder and even evolve new moves.
As soon as they sat down again, Mr. Zhang came back, holding a thermos pot filled with water and a set of tea sets, and said happily, "Come, come, drink tea." ”
He didn't have any skills to make tea, so he was about to pinch the tea leaves and throw them in the bowl, Su Ruotong took over and said, "I'll come." ”
Teacher Zhang found that Su Ruotong's forehead was actually covered with a thin layer of sweat, and even beads of sweat continued to form, so he couldn't help but be very strange, and said, "It's not hot this day, it's cool in the bamboo forest." "He still feels a little cold.
Su Taohua said: "My mother and my grandfather had a fight just now, and they fought very well, just like acting in a movie." ”
Teacher Zhang chuckled in his heart, feeling that he was about to finish. Su Ruotong honestly confessed to him that he was at his current level, and he was afraid that he would not be able to complete ten moves under the old man's hands. He had already come with a tea set and hot water as soon as possible, why was it still too late, these two people really knew how to get stitches, and now they could only hope that this tea would save a little more positive impression for Su Ruotong.
Su Ruotong looked at the tea set, there are a total of four cups, all of which are crystal clear glasses, after the whole bamboo tea is brewed, it can completely restore the original appearance of the bamboo leaves, as if they are still growing on the branches when they are as beautiful and fresh, when on the plane, Mr. Zhang regrets that the tea is an ordinary disposable paper cup, which can not perfectly make people appreciate the beauty of the whole bamboo tea after brewing.
After scalding the cups back and forth three times one by one in a professional way, Su Ruotong quickly scooped the tea leaves with a small teaspoon made of bamboo and put them at the bottom of the cup, and then began to make tea.
Teacher Zhang looked at it and felt that Su Ruotong's movements were skillful and elegant, and he thought that she should have learned the tea ceremony, but the old man looked at it and froze slightly.
Xuewu to his level, sensitive to many things, is unimaginable to normal people, just now when Su Ruotong scalded the cup, it was clear that the amount of hot water in the three cups had a delicate balance, and the hot water in each cup was different, but the more cold the cup was in the air, the more hot water she put it, and it was this hot water that made the temperature after it scald the same as the previous one.
Looking at the amount of tea she put in, it is a spoonful, without deliberately counting or shaking, a steady spoonful, but it is clear that the number of bamboo leaves soaked out is absolutely the same.
What kind of control does this have to be to be subtle and subtle?
The old man felt that he was just satisfied with Su Ruotong just now, and now he was amazing!
Soon, the bamboo leaf tea was brewed, and the wonderful aroma surged in the bamboo forest, and at that moment, the old man was a little speechless.
He is still old these years, although in the eyes of others, he is still very powerful, but the degradation of physical strength, the degradation of the perception of the five senses, he himself knows best, but at this moment, he seems to have returned to the time when he was young, so deaf, bright and smelly, he hid in a big bamboo forest like a lost forest, heard the girl's singing, injured him, suddenly felt that the wound was not painful, only smelled the fragrance of bamboo, saw the verdant bamboo, felt the coolness of the bamboo dew under him, and the figure of the girl......
Sixty years...... Sixty years later, tears involuntarily slipped from the corners of his eyes, and he began to cry.
