"Uncle Heng, the kid is very interested in tea, and he also yearns for the membership card of your teahouse, I wonder if you can give one to your little nephew?" Meng Fanzhu really couldn't stand Liu Congheng's embarrassed expression. knew that the other party was not distressed about money, but distressed about the cultural value of the snuffbox itself, so he took the initiative to export it.

People in the antique world value face the most, and it is particularly humiliating to have a poor vision and to give it away and take it back. It happened to Liu Congheng today, which shows his embarrassment. Fortunately, they are all relatives and friends, otherwise Liu Congheng is afraid that he will go into the mouse hole. This is a big thing, a small thing. If you handle it well, everyone will naturally be happy, but if you don't handle it well, it will cause a gap between the master and his friends, and this will be boring.

I could have kept the preciousness of this snuff bottle a secret, but such a collection would inevitably be revealed. Once recognized by others, and then retrace the origin, Liu Congheng will lose more face and know more. It's better to be poked by a hairy boy now, and then sent back by the master's hand, which not only patted the master's ass, but also made the master get a favor, and Liu Congheng was more psychologically acceptable.

At this time, he made reasonable requests to Liu Congheng in a timely manner to alleviate his embarrassment, and took a logical step closer to the title, so that the other party had a good impression at the same time, but he did not feel abrupt. I have to say that although it was only a few minutes, Meng Fanzhu had already exerted his emotional intelligence beyond the norm.

Recently, Meng Fanzhu has also taken the initiative to exercise his ability in this area, and people are afraid of the word serious. In the dream, he was too stubborn in his life, although his emotional intelligence was not low to the point of being annoying, but he didn't have any close friends except Song Yang. In terms of career, it is even more gentle, and there is no great growth.

In the real world, it is natural to change this situation, even if it is just to make the family and friends around you feel more comfortable, and it is not in vain to work hard. As for outsiders, Meng Fanzhu has never cared about their opinions.

For membership cards, although Liu Congheng only planned to issue 50 cards before, and the candidates have already been selected. Outsiders can't get one if they ask for one, and it seems to be particularly precious. But for him, as the owner, it is not the best choice to send one more and not to pay for it, which just solves the current dilemma.

"The future is terrifying, the affection of the nephew, today Uncle Heng will rely on his old face to suffer!" "In the face of such an informed and interesting junior, Liu Congheng naturally borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. stood up, took out a purple card from the cabinet next to him, and solemnly handed it to Meng Fanzhu with both hands, "Brother Jian is really good-sighted, I didn't understand your choice before, but now I see that you have this good apprentice, but the younger brother is short-sighted." ”

"Brother Shiji, why did you say this, I just coveted the comfort of the school, how can you have the courage to fight in the sea, this inferior person also makes me feel uneasy day by day, and I laughed. Although Wen Tao's mouth was modest, the wrinkles on his face were relaxed, and everyone knew that he was in a good mood at this time.

Wen Tao and Liu Congheng were college classmates, and after graduation, they both worked hard in the system as scholars. Liu Congheng was lively, and he was unwilling to spend his whole life as a pedant in the unit, so he decisively went to the sea. After making money, he naturally has to show off in the circle of classmates, and he has also had disputes with Wen Tao because of his different life philosophy. This time, he took the initiative to show weakness, which made Wen Tao feel happy.

Meng Fanzhu studied the card in his hand repeatedly, deaf to the private conversations of the elders. No. 36 is exactly the same as Master's No. 9 card. I just heard Liu Congheng introduce that this card comes with 10,000 yuan for tea, and after it runs out, it will have to be saved by itself. Although the tea in the tea house is expensive, it is all selected by thousands of people. If it is found to be shoddy, Liu Congheng will not have to mix in the capital.

The treatment of the card is secondary, and Meng Fanzhu is happy that with this card, it is equivalent to entering a circle, the circle of the antique world. Looking at Liu Congheng's collection and bearing, the grade of this circle is not low, and it is a big temptation for Meng Fanzhu, who has always loved antiques. Youdao is like-minded, and it is indeed a good thing to be happy to meet a group of people with the same hobbies.

Liu Congheng beckoned to the door, and three tall girls with beautiful faces walked in. The azure cheongsam sets off the curvaceous figure, and the tight long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings appear and disappear in the cracks in the hem of the robe.

The first egg-faced girl gently placed a set of purple sand mud tea sets on the tray in her hand on the tea table and floated away.

The second girl with a melon seed face left after placing a small black clay stove on the small wooden pier next to the tea table. This small stove is very flattering, in the shape of a barrel, less than a foot high. There were only three or four pieces of charcoal in it, which were already burned red. There is a little boy next to him, lying on the side of the stove, holding a fan in his hand, his small mouth bulging as if he is blowing fire, very vivid.

Finally, the big-eyed girl put the small silver kettle she carried in one hand on the small stove, and the small bucket of mineral water from the snow-capped mountains in the other hand next to the wooden pier, and then sat down on the tea master's seat and began to wash the tea set. The silver kettle has been hung with pulp on the outside, and it is also an old object, because it is filled with boiling water, and as soon as it is put on the stove, it makes a sizzling sound.

The tea set is very exquisite, the pot is a stone scoop pot, the whole pot is about the size of a fist, and the yellow is full of red color. Duan Ni's pot is the most difficult to take care of of all purple clay pots. This pot should have been used for a long time, and the body is as elegant as jade, with a warm luster. The spout, lid and knob are also carefully maintained and free of dirt, and next to them are six cups of the same ingredient that have been boiled in hot water.

This set of tea sets is the most exquisite set Meng Fanzhu has ever seen, and he can't help but move his index fingers a little, looking forward to fragrant tea for a while.

"A while ago, I got a few taels of the best red robes, which are said to have flowed from those three trees. Heng Su Zhiwen loves this tea, and he specially took the liberty of asking Brother Jian to invite your old man to come and taste it, and also help Heng distinguish whether this tea is real or not. Liu Congheng's words immediately aroused the interest of Wen Lao.

Wen Lao knows what the so-called three trees refer to, if it is true, it is indeed not in vain today.

To say this, we have to go back to the eighteenth year of Hongwu. Ding Xian, the son of the lifter, went to Beijing to take the exam, and when he passed by Wuyi Mountain, he suddenly fell ill and had unbearable abdominal pain. A monk of Tianxin Yongle Zen Temple, the monk took his hidden tea leaves and drank with him, and the pain stopped. After winning the top prize, Ding Xian came to thank the monk. When asked about the origin of the tea leaves, he took off his red robe and circled the tea tree three times after learning about it, and draped it on the tea tree.

After Ding Xian returned to the court, he happened to encounter the queen's illness, and the hundred doctors were ineffective. He took out his collection of tea leaves and offered them, and the queen gradually recovered after drinking it. The emperor was overjoyed, gave a red robe, and ordered Ding Xian to personally go to Jiulong to drape it on the tea tree to show the dragon's grace. At the same time, people were sent to take care of it, and all the tea was collected and tributed, and it was not allowed to be hidden.

Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Da Hong Pao has become a tribute tea exclusively for the royal family. Every year, the officials sent by the imperial court wear big red robes and hang them on the tree of tribute tea, and the reputation of the big red robe is also spread by the world.

And those three trees refer to the one in which the emperor wears a red robe, the one in which the champion wears a red robe, and the one that the officials wear. The Hongwu period was a centuries-old tea tree, and now it is more than a thousand years old, and all the tea trees in the Dahongpao plantation around Wuyi Mountain are the descendants of these two trees.

At present, these three trees are guarded by armed police every day, and the annual output of only a few dozen catties of tea is also directly supplied to the central government as a national gift reserve. Liu Congheng didn't know what channel he could use, but it was a blessing to be able to get a few taels.

Since the death of his best friend in a high position the year before last, Wen Lao has never been presented with the best red robe. When you hear that it is this tea today, how can you not be happy.

At this time, the tea master has already washed the tea set and began to prepare the tea. Use a bamboo teaspoon to fill an appropriate amount of tea leaves in a small sealed tin can at hand, and then serve it to Wen Lao. If it is a normal tea ceremony, the origin of the big red robe will also be introduced at this time. But today's people are all literati and scholars, especially the top spot in the domestic tasting of the big red robe, and the waiters will not be able to get an axe.

Wen Lao carefully looked at the color of the tea leaves, and then nodded and motioned for her to continue. Liu Congheng gained some confidence from Wen Lao's nodding action, you must know that this is the tea he got at a great cost, if it is fake, it will not only fall, but also related to the follow-up steps of a major event for him.

The tea master methodically begins to warm the pot and then carefully places the tea leaves into the pot. To put it bluntly, the tea leaves in her hands are so precious that even a black tea leaf is worth her monthly salary, how can she not be cautious.

Meng Fanzhu also watched the tea master's rhythmic every move without blinking, and his white jade hands flew like butterflies between the tea sets, which was very pleasing to the eye.

The small silver kettle was lifted again, the water was poured from the edge of the spout, the water was poured high and low, and the water stopped when the spout was full, and the tea master stretched out his white and slender fingers, picked up the lid and scraped off the foam of the spout, and then closed the lid and washed off the foam of the body with boiling water, the action was extremely elegant.

Everyone waited quietly, and the process of waiting for the tea to be good was also a process of purifying the mind and emptying the body and mind.

The tea master poured all the water in the pot into the fair cup, and a rich tea fragrance escaped, so distressed that the corners of Meng Fanzhu's mouth twitched, this is the best Da Hong Pao worth ten thousand gold! Although he knows that washing tea is a necessary process, only in this way will the next formal tea soup be more fragrant. But this is really a waste, I really want to say that I can drink the water for washing tea. But turning his head to look at the master who was not moving, he had to give up this useless move in despair.

Fortunately, the twitching corners of Chen Yaowen's mouth next to him gave Meng Fanzhu some comfort, and it was the two of them who were unproductive!
