Chapter 478: Morning Tea

Early the next morning.

He Tianyao arranged a second program for Zhou You, to drink morning tea in an ancient teahouse.

Cantonese people have a long habit of drinking morning tea, and the food culture is quite unique, which is a major feature here. The ancient teahouse they came to not only adheres to the ancient style, it is a wooden structure from the inside to the outside, even the waiters are wearing ancient costumes, and any modern traces that will destroy the atmosphere are well hidden and quite tasteful. But this is only one of the characteristics, his biggest feature is that he shoots every day, and he still shoots the best tea leaves that are very suitable for the occasion.

Zhou You and He Tianyao both set off in simple clothes, mixed with a group of old men, happily calling for all kinds of exquisite refreshments. Although their appearance attracted the attention of a group of old men, they were quickly forgotten and moved on to the topic of their own lives.

After He Tianyao took a plate of crab roe buns, he whispered: "Don't look at the old people here, but each of them is a person with energy, even if grandpa comes here, he is also harmonious." ”

Zhou You was surprised: "No, I don't see too much temperament in them." ”

"This is a small circle, and only those who have their approval can fit in, and unexpected guests like us can only sit here alone and be excluded from the circle," He said. ”

There is a vague feeling of traveling around.

Although the seats were casual, the old men knew each other well, and from time to time they joked at the next table or intervened in the conversation at the next table. And Zhou You and He Tianyao, the two young people, although they are also among them, they are really a bit out of tune.

He Tianyao continued: "The old man in the green robe behind me, he is a famous martial arts master on Hong Kong Island, and he is the master of the previous generation of Xingyi Gate, and the old man with a goat's beard behind you is a master of Chinese painting, and his disciples are all over the world, and his influence is very huge. ”

Zhou You listened secretly.

He originally thought that He Tianyao said that the old man of the He family was not prominent here, and it was really just right to say that he didn't want to. You must know that the two people just mentioned are transcendent people who can exert great energy in a certain field, and if the twenty or so people on this floor are all of this level, it is a more powerful force than any prince or party. At least, Zhou You can't think of a prince in China who can radiate its influence to all parts of the country and its surroundings, and even figures like Jiang Hailiu, Xu Jie, and Cheng Feihu can only play a role in one region.

"Oh, it's auction time, I hope this time there will be a blessing!"

He Tianyao originally wanted to add some convincingness, but when he saw Xiao Er take a perfectly packaged small brocade box, he immediately changed his words.

Traveling around is also curious, quietly watching.

An old man in a yellow coat walked up to everyone with a smile and greeted everyone in a very calm tone: "Everyone, it's great to see you here again on a new day. ”

Everyone laughed slightly.

At their age, they don't know if they will wake up when they close their eyes. Although they have long looked down on it, it is still quite touching to hear the voices of their partners, at least better than those children and grandchildren who only know how to work all day long and will not come to accompany them.

The old man in the horse coat then seemed a little excited, raised the small brocade box high, and shouted: "Today's gift is very special, it is a rare Longjing in front of the Ming Dynasty in a year." ”

Wow...

Everyone sighed.

Zhou You is also excited to listen to, the tea before the Ming Dynasty is the tea picked before the Qingming Festival, less infestation by insects, the buds and leaves are delicate, the color is green and fragrant, the taste is mellow and beautiful, it is the best product in the tea. At the same time, due to the generally low temperature before the Qingming Dynasty, the number of germination is limited, the growth rate is slow, and the yield that can reach the picking standard is very small, so there is a saying that "tea before the Ming Dynasty is as expensive as gold".

Combined with the Longjing, which has a history of more than 1,200 years, its rarity has increased countless times. If the dragon well before the rain is the top grade, then the dragon well before the Ming is the best.

Zhou You clearly remembers that at a previous auction, 100 grams of the best was auctioned at a sky-high price of more than 100,000 yuan. And this Mingqian Longjing is by no means under the auction, which means that the pound of Mingqian Longjing in front of him may be speculated to a sky-high price of more than 500,000.

"Auction begins!"

After a brief explanation, the old man in the horse coat announced the start of the auction.

In the tea house, the auction is unreserved and unlimited. As long as you are trustworthy, people will not bother with you. After all, everyone is here to catch up and have fun, and there is really no plan to pick up the leaks.

"A thousand!"

The martial arts celebrity He Tianyao said before immediately quoted.

"Ten thousand!"

Zhou You raised his hand without thinking about it.

He had never tasted the taste of Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, and now that he has such a good opportunity, everyone will naturally not miss it.

It's just that the identity of Zhou You still attracts the attention of others, especially the old man in the horse coat, who is generally more sensitive to the offer of strangers. If it weren't for the fact that the old man in the horse coat knew He Tianyao, it would have been possible not to let Zhou You compete.

"Thirty thousand!"

An old man who was a little rich looked at Zhou You with a smile and said, "It's one thing for young people to be motivated, but this is not an auction house, so there is no need to be as enthusiastic as those people outside." ”

"Fifty thousand!"

After quoting a price, Zhou You replied: "It's not enthusiasm, it's demand." The tutor likes to drink tea very much, and such a superb tea is the best gift. ”

Father Zhou and Elder Xu both like to drink tea, but Father Zhou drinks a large bowl of tea, and it is a thick and thick fried tea, and he doesn't like the kind of tea that takes half a cup to drink for a long time. And Xu Lao is just the opposite, he always uses kung fu tea to entertain guests, and his skills are very exquisite, and Zhou You has long been willing to help Xu Lao find a few catties of excellent tea.

The rich old man nodded and replied: "It turns out that I am going to honor the teacher, do you have such filial piety, I will pay 80,000 yuan, and if you exceed this price, I will not compete with you." ”

The words of the rich old man were obviously everyone's choice, and they were nodding and acquiescing.

"Make up a whole number, 100,000!"

It is rare for the elders to appreciate it so much, and the next time you want to get such a superb tea, you don't know when you have to wait, so you naturally can't refuse.

The old man in the horse coat was not sloppy, and directly announced the result: "Respect that gentleman!"

Zhou You stood up and thanked him.

However, after a pause, Zhou You suddenly spoke: "I heard that Longjing tea is emerald green in color, rich in aroma, mellow and refreshing, shaped like a bird's tongue, and has the characteristics of 'green, fragrant, sweet, and beautiful'." Good things naturally have to be shared, and the elders are invited to appreciate their faces. ”

The old man in the horse coat couldn't help but nod his head, while the other old men also looked at Zhou You with admiring eyes. Before, they thought that Zhou You was too young, and he was here to be elegant, and he didn't want to come into contact with him a little, and it really had a bit of the taste of my generation.

"Yes, promising. ”

"This kid is very smart. ”

"The one who can get together with the fourth child of the He family is naturally not an ordinary person. ”

"If my boys were as considerate as they were, then I could have snickered. ”

The old men shifted the topic of communication to Zhou You and He Tianyao, and there was no taboo at all, and they enjoyed it.

The old man in the horse coat came over and asked, "You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

He Tianyao immediately replied: "It is our honor to be at the same table with us. ”

The old man in the horse coat sat down leisurely.

Zhou You is very interested in this and the old man. Being able to bring together so many old people with extraordinary energy is a talent in itself, and it cannot be taken lightly.

The old man in the horse coat asked very bluntly: "Young man, you are Lao Xu's mantle disciple traveling around, right?"

Zhou You was surprised and asked, "It turns out that I know the old teacher!"

The old man in the horse coat said: "It is only limited to a few friendships, but not deep friendships." But now I admire him more and more, and I can actually receive such an excellent disciple as you. ”

Zhou You said modestly: "He is too famous." ”

The old man in the horse coat shook his head and said, "This is not an exaggeration, you deserve it." For so many years, I have never seen a young person who can make a name for himself in four fields at the same time in one year, I only thought you were lucky, but now it seems that everyone still underestimates you. ”

Zhou You didn't know what to say.

The old man in the horse coat continued: "At our age, except for some things that are related to face, everything else is generally straightforward, and you don't have to be embarrassed. ”

Zhou You nodded in understanding.

He Tianyao obviously didn't want to be ignored, so he took the initiative to start the topic: "He Lao, I heard that you also sent a collection to participate this time, I don't know if you can reveal some news, so that Tianyao can make some preparations?"

Speaking of collecting, He Lao rolled up a smile and said, "If it weren't for the little devil making a big fuss, we wouldn't be willing to come forward." This time it wasn't just me, at least three of them made a move. It's a pity that we're not big collectors, but we're just a little interested in this, so at most, we don't let the little devils go too far, and you still have to deal with other things. ”

He Tianyao nodded and said, "Tianyao understands." ”

He Lao immediately turned to Zhou You: "Xiaoyou, I heard that you sold Fohua Puzhao to Lao Kong, is there such a thing?"

Zhou You nodded and replied: "Yes, Kong Lao exchanged the masterpieces of Matisse and Qi Baishi, I can't refuse!"

"Lao Kong is such a big deal!"

He Lao was slightly surprised, and then said: "If we had known that Xiao You had these two masterpieces in his hands, he would definitely not have taken things out to be embarrassed." Master Qi's masterpiece alone is enough to extinguish the arrogance of the little devil. ”

"That's not necessarily, Lao He!"

The old rich man from before suddenly interjected and said, "Don't look down on you little devils. I have an inside source that the little devil has something extraordinary this time, and if we don't deal with it carelessly, we will definitely lose face at our own doorstep. ”

What He Tianyao needed most was such news, and he hurriedly and sincerely requested: "Old Chen, do you know what the finale baby of the Japanese delegation is?"

"Well...... this"

Chen Lao paused for a moment, saw that the focus of the audience was focused on himself, and immediately smiled and said: "There is an unsuccessful person in my family who works at the customs, and I happened to see their carefully kept secret hole cards during the inspection. ”
