Chapter 224: Zhu Nijunde
After being depressed for a while, Lu Yu shook his head helplessly.
It seems that even if he is in another world, even if he now has the Immortal Tea Garden system.
But the situation is no different from before, one word...... Poor!
But think about it, in the original world, the "heirloom-level" purple sand was originally a priceless treasure, and the "master-level" works were often priced at millions or tens of millions, and it was even more difficult to find a pot of price.
It is already very rare to have so many pots in the Xianchayuan Mall, and it is not realistic to buy them at a cheap price!
After lamenting, Lu Yu had to click on the "entry-level" interface with some unwillingness.
The remaining word-of-mouth value can only have this choice, and even if it is a boutique in the "entry-level", more than two million word-of-mouth values are not enough at all!
However, the categories of entry-level purple clay pots are still very complete.
Although it is classified as "entry-level", it is also a real handmade or semi-handmade purple clay pot after all, which is much stronger than those produced by chemical materials or mold grouting in the original world.
For tea people or tea customers, purple sand has craft value and collection value on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is more important to enhance and gather the aroma of tea!
Out of this consideration, as well as his love for Zisha, Lu Yu must also choose a suitable teapot.
At present, there is only green tea, flower tea and black tea in this world.
The most suitable for brewing green tea is naturally a glass tea set, and the aroma of the flower tea itself has been improved by kilning, and it is suitable for brewing with glass and ceramics, without using purple sand.
After Lu Yu pondered for a moment, he set his eyes on a handful of vermilion mud "Junde pots".
The exchange price of this vermilion "Junde pot" is 1.5 million word of mouth, which is very cheap even among the entry-level people.
But unexpectedly, the modeling process of this pot is good.
In Lu Yu's eyesight, there is no flaw in the shape of the whole pot, although the capacity of the pot is only about one hundred and eighty milliliters, which is slightly smaller, but it is more than enough for one person.
What's more, this pot is more suitable for brewing black tea!
After hesitating for a while, Lu Yu decisively clicked to buy, and the 1.5 million word-of-mouth value was worth exchanging for a pot that is unique in this world, and it was also worth it!
"Congratulations on the successful exchange! Zhu Ni Junde pot has been stored in the storage bag and can be withdrawn and used!"
After the prompt sound, Lu Yu immediately opened the storage bag interface.
In addition to the newly added "Intermediate Beast Taming Skill Experience Book" in the grid, there is indeed an icon of the Zhu Ni Junde pot.
Click to extract, and the small purple clay pot suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Junde pot" is named after the pot worker Zhang Junde.
Zhang Junde was originally a famous purple sand player in the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty in the world, and his name for making pots from vermilion clay has been passed down through the ages.
His common practice is to use the regular script engraved with the word "Junde" on the pot with a bamboo knife as identification.
It is in this shape that the pot is called "Junde".
The Junde pot exchanged by Lu Yu is fired with vermilion clay, and obvious wrinkles can be seen in the vermilion throughout the pot, which is the obvious feature of the vermilion pot "no wrinkles and no vermilion mud".
The whole pot is a drum-bellied dwarf pear-shaped, with three bends and a mouth facing the sky, the ring is flat inside and round outside, and the flat bottom is concave into a circle foot, the mud color is pure and smooth, and the lines are simple and smooth. The lid is cut off by the bead button, the cover surface is convex, and the lid and the shoulder are slightly concave to form a reverse arc.
There is no bottom at the bottom of the pot, and there is no money and redundant calligraphy and painting in the rest of the body. There is no way to verify the author of this pot.
But Lu Yu didn't care about these, and after starting it, he gently wiped it, only to feel that his hand was smooth, and he was smooth to pinch and pour water.
Lu Yu simply stood up and took the pot to the edge of the pool to pick up a pot of water, stretched out his thumb to press the spout, and flipped the pot down!
Although the pot is upside down, because the pot is full of water, internal pressure has been formed, so the lid is still firmly covered on the spout of the pot without any signs of falling.
This shows that the cut of this pot is tightly covered and the seams are very even.
Turn the body of the pot again, and the water will be out from the spout.
The water column is round and strong, and the water column starts from the spout, and the 20 cm water flow is tightly tied into a cylindrical shape.
This is also one of the ways to test the process of the purple clay pot, the strength of the water and whether the splash will spread are the criteria for whether the process is exquisite.
After seeing the water column, Lu Yu nodded lightly, and suddenly stretched out his thumb to hold the pot and pressed the small circular air hole on the lid of the pot.
Brush!
The originally powerful water column suddenly disappeared, and the water beads at the spout were clear but condensed!
There is no problem with the airtightness of the overall pot body, and the water is cut off freely!
Lu Yu lifted the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and let go of the fingers holding the air holes.
The water was instantly restored to its original state, and it was still full of strength.
But this time, Lu Yu raised his wrist to raise the direction of the spout, and the water that had just begun to flow was suddenly cut off, without dragging mud and water at all, and there was not a drop of water continuing to fall!
"Not bad!"
Lu Yu nodded with great satisfaction, at least in terms of water outlet, water cut-off, sealing, etc., this is indeed a good pot!
Of course, there are more ways to judge whether a purple sand pot is a good pot, so I won't repeat them one by one at this time.
At least Lu Yu felt that his 1.5 million word-of-mouth was worth spending at all.
If it were in the original world, if this pot was in the hands of any "national worker", I am afraid that the value would at least climb to tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.
And Lu Yu himself was in the original world, but he had never owned such a valuable purple sand alone.
Next, the most important step is to boil the pot!
In the original world, many people said that they needed to boil sugar cane or tofu to open a purple clay pot, and listed a lot of various reasons.
In fact, Lu Yu doesn't think so.
The main purpose of boiling the pot is nothing more than two things, one is to make the purple clay pot that has been burned fresh and remove the earthy smell in the pot.
The second is to activate the texture tension of the pot itself.
To meet these two points, boiling in purified boiled water for about an hour is sufficient.
As for the cumbersome process and method of boiling the pot, it is nothing more than to highlight the dignity of purple sand.
In fact, Lu Yu already knew a truth as early as when he learned the tea ceremony, noble things are not their complicated and noble processes, but the value and function of the utensils themselves.
People learn tea and drink tea for the sake of pleasure and health, but they are not pretending to be forced to learn a set of cumbersome concepts.
The small pot was washed, the water was not over the top of the pot, Lu Yu turned on the gas stove and began to boil the kettle.
It took at least an hour or so to boil the pot, so he simply sat back on the sofa again and reopened the lottery interface.
At this time, the remaining word-of-mouth value is less than one million, and it is impossible to continue the lottery.
He pondered it, and simply spent another 100,000 word-of-mouth value to convert the lottery interface to the roulette lottery.
After all, grasshoppers are also meat, so let's smoke something useful first!
