Chapter 021: Tea tasting
The fourth daughter of the Zhao family brought two cups of tea and a teapot to the marble round table with a tray. After she delivered the things, she silently retreated to her parents' house, except for a careful and careful closer look, and then watched the "Western View" with them.
Concise was immediately attracted by the tea set in front of him. I personally put the teacup in front of me in my hand, and while looking at it seriously, I thought about buying a set too, and said purposefully: "It's so beautiful." Where did you buy it?"
Because Jia Youwei has been accustomed to using the best things since he was a child, he knew at a glance that this set of blue and white porcelain was not a modern imitation, but an antique from the late Ming Dynasty. If you want to buy a set of these tea sets, I am afraid that the only way to buy them is to go to an antique store, not a department store.
"I don't know. The landlord saw that you were a rare guest, so he borrowed it from me. In order to drink this tea, I also troubled his daughter, which made me really unhappy. ”
Jia Youwei spoke very strategically, not only explaining why the tea was sent by the fourth daughter of the Zhao family, but also directly sealing it concisely and then asking about the tea set.
Conciseness is more or less in my heart, because my home visit has added a lot of unnecessary trouble to others.
In her opinion, the father and daughter of the Jia family are the tenants who rent here after all, so there are more or less inconvenient places. I am blindly entangled, but I am too ignorant and immature.
Holding the tea bowl with his left hand, he lifted the tea lid with his right hand, and he smelled the tea fragrance from the teacup, which was refreshing.
She brought the tea bowl to her mouth, took a small peck, and immediately felt the unusual taste of tea. I slowly put it down my throat and left my mouth with a fragrant mouth.
At the same time, Jia Youwei casually opened the lid of the tea bowl, one saw the soup was clear, the second looked at the shape of the tea soaked in the water, and then smelled the tea fragrance wafting out of the cup, and he could accurately judge that it was the first to pick the pre-rain Longjing.
He picked up the cup and took a sip, his brow furrowed, and he further judged that this was not this year's new tea, but last year's old tea.
If his guess is right, it should be the pre-rain Longjing he gave to Grandpa Zhao last year. The other party was reluctant to drink it and kept it to this day.
Actually, it's easy to understand. In the eyes of ordinary people, 10,000 yuan and a pound of tea are all collection-level tea, and it is reasonable to be reluctant to drink it.
"Miaoyu tea in "Dream of Red Mansions" said that one cup is a taste, two cups are a fool to quench thirst, and three cups are to drink cows and mules.
Good tea must be accompanied by good water and good tea utensils. After taking another sip, he smiled and sighed.
Teacher Jian smiled. There is nothing good in the humble house, so I can only use this to express my heart. Jia Youwei doesn't have her good attitude towards tea tasting at the moment.
I hurriedly drank three glasses in a row. Before, he talked too much, his mouth was dry, his throat was smoking, and he urgently needed to rehydrate.
"You said that Yan Lianke's works have a writing that vilifies intellectuals. I don't know if it's his work, I'll buy it and go back and see where the ugliness of what I'm waiting for is. Concisely sipping tea on one side, and then chatting with her on the other hand.
It was his novel "Ode to the Grace of the Wind". In a sense, it is not called ugly, but it truly reflects that some high-level intellectuals are not only bitches, but also hypocrites who want to set up archways.
At the beginning of the book and at the end of the book put a stumbling woman, a university professor, to make a contrast, pairing. Is a person with a dirty body a dirty spirit? If a person is not dirty in body, is his spirit not dirty?" Jia Youwei said slowly.
Simplicity has long lost the mentality of a teacher to face the parents of students. She was completely full of the admiration that a female student had for a male teacher like she did in middle school, and said with a faint smile: "Recently, what books have you been reading? ”
"I've been watching Zhang Wei's Ancient Ship recently. His novel was banned for nearly thirty years before it was rediscovered.
Zhang Wei is widely known today for "You Are on the Plateau", which won the 8th Mao Dun Literature Award. The book consists of 10 books, 39 volumes, and more than 4.5 million words, and I am afraid that even the members of the jury may not have finished reading it.
This is compared to the average word count in online novels. However, the writer himself spent more than 20 years to write "You Are on the Plateau", which can be described as the longest pure literary work in the history of Chinese and foreign novels.
However, in my opinion, it is more appropriate to give this award not so much to Zhang Wei's "You Are on the Plateau" as to "The Ancient Boat" to him. After all, there are things that can only be understood, not spoken. Jia Youwei smiled and said.
"Qian Qian's father, you are so humorous. It's a pleasure to talk to you. A simple smile doesn't change course.
Jia Youwei picked up the teacup and drank another cup, and finally felt the complete satisfaction of the body mechanism. He put down the teacup, and then took out his mobile phone, which even thieves hated, and looked at the time, it was almost 12 noon.
So, Jia Youwei took the initiative to invite and said, "Teacher Jian, let's go out for lunch, okay?"
Simplicity suddenly realized. She chatted with the other party about literature, and the conversation was so engrossed that she forgot all the time. The purpose of my home visit is not to literature, but to talk about student Jia Qianqian.
As a result, who would have thought that things would turn out the way they are? She was mentally satisfied, but she forgot about business.
"Yes, I'll have to treat you. If you don't agree, I'll have to leave. "Concise and straightforward.
Jia Youwei is naturally not accustomed to asking women to pay for him: "Do you think this is good? You choose the place, you choose the dishes, you treat the guests, and then I will pay for it." ”
"Not good. In that case, it's not like I'm in a treat. I'm going to talk to you about Jia Qianqian again. "Be concise and stick to your own opinions.
Jia Youwei insisted again and again, after all, it was about talking about his daughter. As a father, it is necessary to actively communicate with his daughter's homeroom teacher.
He can better grasp Jia Qianqian's situation at school, instead of just listening to his daughter's words. What's more, it's a long time coming, and there is a chance to invite something back.
"Then I'll be disrespectful. Jia Youwei maintained the gentleness and frugality he should have.
Jian Jian took his handbag, stood up without hurry, and said with a smile: "So, can we go?"
Jia Youwei also stood up, and made a gesture with his right hand to the door, so he took the steps under his feet in agreement with her and began to walk out.
