Could it be that this willow leaf-shaped thing is what Mr. Chen called 'tea leaves'?

Although I was confused, I still tried to calm my mind and calm down.

But in fact, I already felt the tension of the atmosphere so deeply that I even felt like I was talking to the underworld boss in the movie, who kept repeating unbelievable behaviors.

Mr. Chen's subordinate was cautiously busy, and Mr. Chen wasted no time in smiling at me: "Mr. Zhao, try the limited edition 'Red Cliff Tea', don't look at it as the size of a leaf, but this piece can make ten cups without light color, one cup is more delicious than a cup of tea, and the fragrance is pleasant." ”

I was stunned for a moment, I had heard of the limited edition of the sedan, the limited edition of the watch, and the limited edition of the bag, but I had never heard of the limited edition of the tea!

Is there a lot of wonders in the world, or is this Mr. Chen playing tricks?

However, how do I feel that the name 'Red Cliff Tea' sounds so familiar?

After a little thought in my heart, I finally remembered.

I remember that Fu Shengbing once bought back two copycat versions of 'Red Cliff Tea' and showed them off in front of me. He also explained to me the origin of the legend of 'Red Cliff Tea': this 'Red Cliff Tea' grows on the cliffs, grows once every hundred years, and the picking procedure is quite complicated, first of all, there must be a monk who has attained the Tao, standing ten meters next to the tea tree, holding a bow and arrow to shoot at the tip of the tea leaves, and there must be a handsome girl under the tea tree, lying flat in a suitable position, with her upper body exposed, revealing her belly. And the girl must be a virgin, between the ages of 12 and 18. The monk held a bow and arrow and shot at the tip of the tea leaves, which happened to fall on the girl's belly, and it was quite difficult to pick, and it was very efficient to pick one or two pieces each time. After harvesting, this girl will have to be exposed to the sun for 7749 days before it can be considered a success! Moreover, in these 7740 days, if there is not enough sunlight one day, all the work will be wasted, and the tea leaves that have been picked up with hard work can only end in the fate of premature death. Therefore, this tea is quite expensive, in the Qing Dynasty Cixi years, China has a total of four pieces of red cliff tea, was treasured as a treasure of the town, and later the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, robbed two pieces, so China now only two pieces left.

Of course, the story that Fu Shengbing came up with is not enough to be believed, but at this time, Mr. Chen also mentioned 'Red Cliff Tea', which shows that in Chinese history, this kind of tea does exist. It may not be as precious as the legend says, but it is certainly not valuable.

It's just that the legend in Fu Shengbing's mouth seems to be a little exaggerated. Fu Shengbing said that there are only four pieces of this kind of tea in the country, but this 'wealthy' Mr. Chen took out four or five pieces at once, what is the explanation?

I can't help but marvel at the breadth and depth of China's various cultures

In fact, because I knew some legends about 'Red Cliff Tea', I did feel a little flattered by Mr. Chen's hospitality.

Although, I always feel that this atmosphere is not like the atmosphere in real life, but like heaven and earth, as if I have been gifted by a certain immortal, and have received rare and rare 'tea' that is rare in the world, and drinking it can lead to immortality and longevity.

I couldn't help but want to laugh, but I couldn't. Because in front of this Mr. Chen, I can't relax my mind.

And this restrained mood may not be because of his power. As a national guard, I certainly shouldn't be nervously overwhelmed in front of a social tycoon. But in fact, it is precisely because I am shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country and the entrustment of the Special Guard Bureau that I have no choice but to regard this meeting as quite important. So much so that he didn't dare to be careless......

It seemed that it took a lot of effort to brew the cup of 'Red Cliff Tea' that I don't know if it was true or not, and when this cup of tea was respectfully placed in front of me by the man in black, there was an indescribable taste in my heart.

The hot tea is steaming, and a tea tip like a willow leaf is dancing in the tea, the color of the tea is lighter than that of ordinary tea leaves, but the taste of the tea is very strong.

This Mr. Chen's hospitality is truly unique. Not to comment on the authenticity of this 'Red Cliff Tea', just the warm 'hospitality' just now, the exchange of eyes and hearts, is enough to confirm the unfathomable nature of this Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen still covered the mouth of the teacup with the lid of the teacup and rubbed gently, like a tea ceremony master with profound cultivation, with an embarrassed expression and a dignified appearance. He suddenly said to me: "Mr. Zhao, how about tasting my tea, tea can cultivate the mind and nourish the mind, and calm the mind." This 'Red Cliff Tea' is the best in the tea, according to legend, there are only 24 pieces in China, these 24 pieces, are picked and processed in 24 years during the Cixi period, and are collected by the Qing Dynasty government as a national treasure. When the Eight-Nation Coalition entered China, they robbed six of them, and now there are only 18 in China, and I have ten of them and the other eight, and I don't know where they go. After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, nodding his head, and a trace of imperceptible pride bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

I was deeply shocked by this: Mr. Chen's words coincided with the legend in Fu Shengbing's mouth. There are a few differences, but in general, they confirm the preciousness of this tea.

The Chinese tea ceremony is really unfathomable.

I was a little flattered and said, "Mr. Chen, you are so polite, I really deserve such a precious and good tea." ”

Mr. Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am also a person who loves tea. This 'Red Cliff Tea' can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Mr. Zhao's ability, of course, I have heard of it for a long time, but you are more difficult to invite than Zhuge Liang, haha, until today, we have the opportunity to sit together and drink tea. In other words, maybe we are not tasting tea, but career, and life. ”

Mr. Chen's words are extremely profound, and I can only understand them dimly. I smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is too awarded, I am a civilian, so I can make Mr. Chen value it so much." Shame, shame. ”

Mr. Chen nodded slightly and said, "Let's taste the tea first, and then talk about other things." Mr. Chen took another sip, still with the same approving look just now. It's just that if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that there seems to be a little more confidence in his divine essence.

I felt that the teacup in my hand weighed a thousand catties, and it was not easy to reach my mouth, and the thick fragrance of tea wafted out.

Take a sip, the whole body is refreshed, and the clear warm current goes up the throat, like a fairy spring, which is suddenly injected into your body, which is wonderful.

I'm sure it's the most special tea I've ever tasted, with a bitter, sweet, fragrant and strong taste.

After Mr. Chen saw me take a sip, he smiled and asked, "How does Mr. Zhao feel?"

I didn't know how to answer, but nodded again and again: "Good tea, good tea, thank you Mr. Chen for your hospitality." ”

Mr. Chen said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhao has heard of this tea before?"

I was secretly proud of what he said, and before that, Fu Shengbing's words were still in my heart. So I talked eloquently: "I know a little bit about it." It is said that this kind of tea is difficult to pick, and it takes a monk to go up to the cliff and shoot arrows with a bow, one piece at a time, the risk factor is extremely high, and the difficulty is also very great. But the success rate is not high. That's why this tea is so precious. ”

Mr. Chen nodded while listening, and while sipping tea, he said, "Mr. Zhao is really a person who has seen the world. You're right, this tea is indeed very rare. Moreover, according to historical records, this kind of tea needs a kind of primer, which is not wine or medicine, but people. Whether it is in the process of taking tea or drying tea, it is necessary for a beautiful virgin under the age of eighteen to be the introduction, and the tea is placed on the virgin's navel and dried for seven hundred and forty-nine days to be considered successful. In these 49 days, if the weather is bad one day, you will have to waste all your efforts and start from scratch. I like to taste tea, I also like to collect tea, treat distinguished guests, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't eat, I just serve a cup of tea. Regarding the legend of 'Red Cliff Tea', I have searched many historical materials, and there is a different theory, but it is much the same. Later, through some connections, I finally got these surviving tea treasures, and I can say unceremoniously that you are the second guest to enjoy this treatment. ”

I said repeatedly, "It's an honor, Mr. Chen, you have held me up so much!" I stood up from my seat in flattery and symbolically bowed to Mr. Chen to show my gratitude.

Mr. Chen waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Do you want to know who the first guest to enjoy this kind of treatment is?" he suddenly looked at me with a pair of extremely murderous eyes, as if smiling, and a knife in his gentleness.

I laughed and said, "That guy is just as lucky as I am!"

Mr. Chen smiled softly, leaned his hands on the table, and said softly: "That person is the current director of the Central Special Health Bureau, by the director." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and some of the second monks couldn't figure it out: How could it be the director? Could it be that the director and this Mr. Chen are old acquaintances?

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, is this Mr. Chen deliberately testing me, or is it something else?

But Mr. Chen didn't elaborate, just smiled and said, "The person who is the director is very interesting, interesting. ”

I just laughed and didn't make the slightest comment. I always felt that this Mr. Chen was so mysterious that I couldn't figure out how he played his cards, what exactly did he want to express to me, or was it a special temptation?

Mr. Chen did not mention the director again, but continued to talk about the culture of 'tea tasting', he does know a lot about China's tea drinking culture, I believe that the reason why Qiao Ling likes to taste tea, it is estimated that he is also influenced by this Mr. Chen, right?
