Chapter 7 Gaiwan Tea

Ye Shifang heard the words behind him, stepped out of one foot of the Three Temples and stopped, he looked back, and saw that those who were sitting on the futon followed the call of the Taoist and looked at the door.

The location of this gate, at this moment, he and the cultivators and grandchildren, the children in the mouth of the Taoist can only be ox cultivators.

"Dao Chief, are you calling me this grandson?"

"Yes, old man, could you come to me with your grandson, and let me take a closer look at him. ”

Ye Shifang was suspicious in his heart, this person is a good fortune teller for others, why did he suddenly stop my little grandson, could it be that he saw something wrong with his cultivation?

He himself is already this age, even if he believes in these things such as fortune-telling, he will not care about the rest of the time, but his grandson is still young, if the Taoist can really see some doorways, the family can take precautions.

Ye Shifang nodded at the moment, and brought the cultivation to the Taoist person, those who were originally sitting and queuing on the futon were somewhat reluctant in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it in front of the Taoist, after all, it was not this kid who cut the queue, and it was not a glorious thing for a group of adults and children to scramble. They were also curious, why would a Taoist suddenly be interested in a child?

Cultivating was a little scared in his heart, he dragged Ye Shifang's pants in his hand, and stood there panicked by everyone. He peeked at the Taoist, and saw that this person was wearing a blue-blue Taoist robe, with a bun on his head, and a peach wood hairpin inserted horizontally. The Taoist had a kind face, about thirty years old, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, and said with a smile on his face: "Little doll, don't be afraid, my uncle has a few questions for you, and you can answer them truthfully." ”

Cultivate your heart and feel a little calm, and have the courage to bow to the Taoist.

"Sir, what is your problem, please say!"

The Taoist was a little surprised when he saw this, and he looked at the cultivation carefully, and somehow stood up, bowed to everyone, and said: "I'm sorry, donors, this is here today, the poor Taoist society will live in these three holy temples, and the future will be long, and please come to see the divination again another day." ”

As soon as the Taoist said this, everyone was naturally not very happy, and they shouted noisily that they had to ask why. Suddenly, I heard a long series of firecrackers outside, and then the sound of suona drums came from the horn, which was the start of the big show.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the big drama can begin. Poor Dao is also for your sake, this fortune-telling can be done at any time in the future, but this scene was missed, but I don't know if it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. And I heard that this gong is a good show, called "The Legend of the White Snake". ”

When everyone heard this, they got up and walked out, feeling inexplicably helpless in their hearts.

Ye Shifang also felt that this person was a little tricky, and now although he felt strange in his heart, he had to go out to watch the play with everyone. was about to take a step forward, but he was pulled by the cultivator's trouser leg, looked up and winked at him.

Ye Shifang understood, glanced at the Taoist, saw that he made a silent gesture, and whispered: "This is not the place to talk, please come with me." ”

Ye Shifang pulled the cultivator and followed the Taoist towards the back of the Three Saints Hall, where there was also a door, and there was a sign on the door that idlers were not allowed to enter, and there was a young Taoist priest in his twenties staring at the door.

"Fengqing, these two are my honored guests, you take them to the teahouse for a while, and I will come when I go. ”

The Taoist man flashed out, and Ye Shifang and Cultivator followed the young Taoist priest Fengqing out, and saw that there was still a courtyard behind the Three Holy Halls.

This courtyard is larger, with three symmetrical caves on each side, and a small house on each side of the faΓ§ade in addition to a quaint two-story building.

Ye Shifang saw the back of the Taoist and entered one of the small rooms, while the Taoist priest Fengqing led them into a brick arch cave on the right.

The so-called brick arch cave is not actually the traditional loess cave, but the roof is a bucket arch spliced together with bricks, open the thick curtain to cover the cold and walk in, look up and see the arc top like in the cave. This is the same structure as the cultivator's house, which is a bungalow in the form of a brick arch cave.

In order to get a better light, there is a window on the wall facing the door, and it is a whole horizontal rectangular transparent glass, which seems to be directly embedded in the wall to form a window, with a width of forty or fifty centimeters and a length of more than one meter.

The height of the window is just right for the eye angle, so when I first entered, I thought it was a hanging painting. However, according to the function of this window, it is not only to obtain light, but also to enjoy the picturesque scenery while enjoying tea in the tea room.

On the left hand wall of the door, there is a pair of vertical scroll characters drawn in the center, on which only one word "true" is written, and there is no payment, that is, there are two side seals, one side is in the lower left corner of the word, which belongs to the square white text seal, and the text is "return to the truth"; one side is in the upper right corner of the word, belongs to the round Zhu Wenyin, and the text is "the four truths of the tea ceremony".

In front of the main seat, there are two chairs and a table as the main seat, in front of the main seat in the center of the house, there are two symmetrically placed chairs and square tables on both sides to form a guest seat, and the rest is that there is a Bogu shelf on both sides of the main seat, on which there are porcelain tea sets and vases and the like, and many scrolls are neatly stacked. The whole tea room is very simple and clean, and there is a fragrance wafting from the incense burner above the main table.

"Two distinguished guests, please sit down, go and make tea!"

Ye Shifang didn't want to bother this Fengqing Daoist, but since he came, he also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in that Daoist's gourd just now?

The Taoist priest Fengqing went out for a while, and when he came back, he had a tray in his hand, and in the tray were two bowls and an electric kettle.

The bowl is a pastel-colored landscape, which looks extremely exquisite. The electric kettle is also made of aluminum, and the outside is plated with a picture of a landscape. Although the two do not match well in form, they are at least the same in terms of the appearance of the landscape paintings.

Ye Shifang saw the two bowls, and admired in his heart, now that the reform and opening up has just been celebrated for ten years, there are not many people who can be so particular about drinking tea in this year, it seems that these Taoists are not simple!

Taoist priest Fengqing put the two bowls on the square table between Ye Shifang and the cultivator seat, and the two of them immediately smelled a burst of sweet aroma, it turned out that the two bowls had a narrow gap, and a faint heat was wafting out from the bowl, and the aroma was wrapped in the heat.

"Little master, have you washed this tea in a warm cup?"

Taoist priest Fengqing was a little surprised, he had been pouring tea for the guests for a long time, and no one had ever asked such a question.

"Old gentleman, it seems that you are a person who understands tea, it is true that this tea has been washed in a warm cup, and it has not been filled with hot water, and the lid is not opened, can you smell what kind of tea this is?"

"Jasmine tea, but it's not a hundred thousand mountains!"

Ye Shifang hadn't answered yet, but he had answered first. Indeed, since he smelled the fragrance, he felt very familiar with the fragrance of jasmine, but this fragrance was purer and fresher, so he judged that it was not the 100,000 mountains that his grandfather Niu Chuanqing drank.

The little kid in front of the Taoist priest Fengqing actually answered, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, only to feel that these two people today were indeed distinguished guests, and he was still worried about whether the gaiwan and tea leaves he chose to make tea were too valuable, but now it seems to be just right.

"Cultivation, you're right, this is jasmine tea, and it's indeed not a hundred thousand mountains. ”

Ye Shifang said, glanced at the Taoist priest Fengqing in front of him, he arched his hand, smiled very leisurely, and continued: "Little master, I will boldly guess if I am old, if it is wrong, it will be regarded as old, make a joke!"

Taoist priest Fengqing also hurriedly saluted and said: "The old man laughed, the younger generation is just a little Taoist priest who knows a little about tea, and I just heard you say that the senior is also a person who understands tea, so I asked a question, but also to get a seat from the senior, the younger generation must listen to and be taught, how dare you be disrespectful to you!"

Ye Shifang laughed and said, "Then I, an old-timer, are welcome, just guess casually." It is said that there is a tea man surnamed Xu in the country of Tianfu, who is very good at making tea, and picks the best green tea buds before the Ming Dynasty, with jasmine flowers, in accordance with the traditional process, carefully made a jasmine tea, known as "Xu Gong tea". This tea is brewed, after drinking, only feel that the lips and teeth are fragrant, the throat is moist and smooth, and it has both the freshness of green tea and the elegance of jasmine, which can be called the best. And after the tea is brewed, the leaves sink to the bottom of the cup, the flowers float on the water, the fragrance floats into the room, the cup and bowl are very beautiful, and then get an elegant name 'Bitan Drifting Snow'. ”

"Well said, well said! I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be the same as the tea, and the origin of this tea is like a treasure!"
