This is a pear wood table of eight immortals, the legs are carved with exquisite ornaments and patterns, and on the table, there is a simple ashtray, a small plate of peanuts, and then a large black wood tea table.

The host loves tea!

The host actually loves tea!

My eyes lit up, if I can taste good tea here and communicate with tea ceremony experts, it is also a pleasure! Thinking about it, I smiled with Daewoo, and I couldn't help but arouse the slander in my brain!

For me, drinking tea is also one of the few hobbies in my life. Since I can remember, I have grown up slowly under the clusters of tea trees, and slowly realized a little bit of my own experience step by step, so there is a group of tea friends interspersed between foodies and toys.

Daewoo even believes that drinking tea is and must be one of the qualities that foodies have.

But I think that drinking tea is an art, but it is not a lonely act, a pot of water, just because of those leaves, can be boiled mellow and long. A cup of good green tea can deliver the vast fragrance of the mountains and fields to the lips and teeth. The tea leaves are still green, floating and swimming in the boiling water upright, and taking a sip is more of a fragrance that only belongs to spring.

Compared with green tea, the half-haired "Tieguanyin" is rich and clear, the "Dahongpao" is full and calm, and the full-haired black tea "Jin Junmei" is much deeper, although there is no fresh fragrance of green tea, but the aroma is hidden inside.

Drinking tea here is a different scene, because the host did not serve tea, and it was a 12-year-old Xiaofeng girl with the same name as me who performed the tea ceremony for us. She has fair skin, clear eyebrows, gentle and deep eyes, a shallow smile, and long black hair that naturally falls over her shoulders. is very different from the lively and shy appearance just now, because at this time, she has a strong classical temperament.

"My surname is Deng, this surname is rare, you can call me Lao Deng, Uncle Deng, Uncle Deng, it's okay," the old man's name is indeed rare, and we are also surprised. "Although we don't see it often, our surname has been around since the Han Dynasty. ”

In front of the antique black wood tea set, sitting with the lamp uncle, the elegant and warm little maple girl is quietly making tea, the action is very elegant, she scoops the tea leaves with a tea spoon and puts them into the bowl, and drenches them with boiling water in the pot next to them, and the steam carries the fragrance of tea to rise.

In the fragrance of tea, a long-lost familiarity calms the desolation in our chests, and the boiling water is brewed repeatedly, and then poured into celadon and placed in front of us. Miss Xiaofeng gently and gently picked up the celadon, not breaking the soul of tea. A few slices of tea are stretched and swirled in the clear and turquoise liquid, slowly sinking, rising and sinking again, three ups and three downs, beautiful.

"Speaking of ladies' pictures, we have to start from prints and even engravings," in the curling tea fragrance, Uncle Deng began to tell, "60 years ago, in a temple in Jiepeng, in the belly of a Buddha statue, someone found a print, this print is 53.6 cm long, 38.3 cm wide, the picture is damaged, and later, people called it "Maitreya Bodhisattva Statue". ”

Several small teacups turned left and right in Miss Feng's hands. Drizzling, scalding, and washing, after a while, a few cups of slightly yellow tea juice in the bright light were dedicated to everyone. "I've seen this in some reports," Daewoo said, taking a cup of tea, leaning his nose and sniffing the incense, "What is particularly precious in this painting is that it is printed with four inscriptions, and clearly indicates the name of the painter, the carver and the date of the engraving, which is an important document for the study of engraving art." ”

"You're right, it provides a good material for the history of Chinese printing!" Uncle Deng picked up a cup of tea, put it to his lips, took a sip and said, "The composition of the whole picture of this work is stable, dense and compact, the lines are simple and appropriate, and the characters are dignified and plump, inheriting the style of the Tang Dynasty." The main body of the picture is decorated with dense patterns and becomes a large area of gray, which contrasts sharply with the blank part. The upper part of the flying lady rises into the air, and the lines fly smoothly, cleverly becoming a dynamic and static relationship. ”

"That is to say, this is the first engraving of the lady's picture?" I asked anxiously.

"You can say that," Uncle Lamp nodded, and he said as he slowly pulled away my portrait of a lady. "It's a pity that I haven't seen the real thing, it was Xiao Feng who downloaded it from the Internet and printed a few for me!"

"It turns out that Jiepeng robbed our treasure again!" Zhaoyang said with some indignation.

"It's not just Jiepeng who robbed our treasure, but also the Sand Country," Uncle Deng continued, "What I just said is the prototype of the "Lady Picture" print, but the real milestone is another treasure, and its grabber is the Sand Country. ”

Following the old man's narration, we learned that more than 100 years ago, in Heishui City, China, a small-scale war broke out among the great powers, and the treasure they fought for was "The Slender Faces of the Sui Dynasty", which is known as the swan song of the printmaking "Lady Picture". "That treasure is not in China now, it is privately collected by other people in the country of Saudi Arabia, and the full version of the painting is not allowed to be seen, nor can it be seen!" Uncle Deng said regretfully.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Daewoo smashed his fist on his leg, "It's too hateful to take the treasure snatched from someone else's house and wantonly preach your own democracy and civilization!"

"Let's drink tea!" Uncle Deng looked at us angry young people, and then looked at Ziyun a few more times, "This girl has been here before?"

"I seem to have been here!" Ziyun said a little confused, "but I can't remember!"

"Well," Uncle Lamp muttered, "you still have to look at this painting less." ”

"After talking for a long time," Zhaoyang heard Uncle Deng say this, and immediately hurriedly asked, "Uncle Deng, what is the connection between these things and this lady's picture?"

"Of course there is a connection," Uncle Deng couldn't help laughing, "Look at you are not children anymore, why can't you hold your breath!"

"Uncle Lamp," I said with a smile, "he's an impatient." Actually, I'm more anxious than Zhaoyang!"

"Let's call me Uncle Deng," the old man said with a smile, "Call me uncle, call me a few years older!"

"Hello Uncle Deng!" Ziyun called sweetly, making the old man smile.

"That painting is also known as the Four Beauties, and it is a rare and genuine work of important aesthetic value in the early days of the printmaking lady," Uncle Deng put away his smile and said with a sigh, "It is the editionist of Jiepeng who has really seen this painting!"

"It's related to the Jiepeng people again!" Daewoo's fist slammed into his leg again.

"Because they never exhibit this painting to the public!" and they refuse to allow people to see it!" Uncle Deng said, "Only one of the families of Jiepeng, through the power of the gang, sent an editionist to refer to the painting and left a photograph." I heard that they also paid a big price. ”

The old man said that according to the editionist later, the prints were two feet five inches in length and about one foot in width, and there were four figures in the prints, Wang Zhaojun and Zhao Feiyan, Ban Ji on the left, and green beads on the right. The background of the printmaking is the garden scene, with flowers clustered around him, and there are "inscriptions" next to the four figures, and the upper end of the frame is engraved with the words "Sui Dynasty is slender and presents the beauty of the country".

"The man thinks that the figures in this painting have a fat waist and fat body, full cheeks and round jaws, which is borrowed from the style of Jiepeng printmaking," Uncle Deng introduced to us in detail, "but,"

"But what?" we asked anxiously.

"However, we don't think so," the old man raised his voice, "and we believe that the vigorous development of Jiepeng printmaking is precisely borrowing from and inheriting this type of printmaking in China. Not only is there traces of inheritance in time, style and technique, but also because of the ......"

"Why?" Ziyun suddenly asked, Ziyun seemed very excited at this time, she took the "Lady Picture" and flipped it over, looking at it non-stop, as if she was going to turn out some flowers.

"Because, that family," said Uncle Deng, "is the Shadow Family!"
