Chapter 21: Precious Notes

For the best red robe in tea, Liu Dong had only heard of his name before, and had never seen the real thing. Before the Republic of China, this kind of oolong tea was only used as a royal tribute, and the annual output was scarce, which can be called a national treasure, and now every gram on the market is more than 10,000 yuan, which is more than ten times more expensive than gold. I didn't expect him to be really lucky enough to drink it today!

Seeing Uncle Long and Li Lao picking up the teacups one after another, Liu Dong was not polite at the moment, he picked up the purple sand teacup on the table, and held the rim of the cup with his thumb and index finger, and pressed the bottom of the cup with his middle finger, but did not drink it directly, but first put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then divided it into three sips, and slowly drank it into his mouth.

Looking at Liu Dong's skillful movements, he couldn't help but show surprise on the faces of Li Lao and Uncle Long next to him.

"Okay, three mouthfuls know the taste, and three times before I was tempted, I didn't expect Xiaodong to be a person who is also proficient in the tea ceremony. Not many young people nowadays understand this. Li Lao said with a look full of appreciation. To be honest, after this contact, he liked this humble and polite young man who also knew the tea ceremony more and more.

Just like there is a 'one-glance goods' in antiques, Liu Dong's first impression of Li Lao at this moment is very good.

"Mr. Li has won the award, and he used to just see his father always drink like this when he was at home, so he unconsciously learned a little bit along with it!" Liu Dong said modestly, if it were normal for him to drink like this, but today's top Shaoxing old purple sand and national treasure Da Hong Pao aroused his tea nature.

"It seems that your father is not an ordinary person!" Li Lao said with a smile.

"In China, the history of tea drinking has a long history, and the tea ceremony is also regarded as a kind of life art of cooking tea and drinking tea, a life etiquette with tea as a medium, and a way of life with tea for self-cultivation. Cultivation is the foundation of the tea ceremony, is the purpose of the tea ceremony, tea people through the guò tea activities pleasant, cultivating sentiment, cultivating the mind and enlightenment. Therefore, in modern times, the true tea ceremony is called an elegant art, and there are not many people who understand its essence. ”

After listening to Li Lao's words, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile faintly, thinking back to his father, in his impression, his father's living habits and behavior were indeed not like an ordinary rural peasant. Because in Liu Dong's impression, in addition to the tea ceremony, his father is also proficient in Go and calligraphy and painting, and he likes to carve more or less influenced by his father.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I want to drink the big red robe too!" Smelling the quiet fragrance of tea, the little girl who had been quietly snuggling in Mr. Li's arms, after shaking her delicate little nose, she couldn't help but shake the old man's arm with a look of longing, and said coquettishly.

"Do you want to drink it too?" Li Lao dotingly touched the soft black hair on his little granddaughter's head and asked softly.

"Hmm!" The little girl nodded heavily, her little face showed a look of longing, and her two big black eyes stared directly at the teacup held by Li Lao.

"Okay, grandpa will pour a cup for Nan Nan too!" Saying that, the old man picked up a teacup from the tray on the stone table, then lifted the purple sand teapot, and reached most of the cup in it, first put it on the side of his mouth to blow it cold, and after trying it and feeling that it would not burn his mouth, he handed it to his granddaughter.

"Be careful, drink slowly, be careful of burning!"

Listening to her grandfather's words, the little girl nodded, holding the teacup in her little hand, learning from Liu Dong and the others drinking tea just now, first put it under Xiuting's little nose and sniffed it, and then sent it to her mouth and took a small sip.

"Ah, it's so bitter!" The little girl held the teacup and said with a wrinkled face.

"Hehe, haha!" The childlike appearance of the little girl made a burst of laughter in the small courtyard.

With the tempting fragrance of tea, the green and the warm family joy in the small courtyard, the whole scene is indeed natural and harmonious, and the small courtyard has become more quiet.

"Hehe, okay, take another sip, don't be in a hurry to swallow it, drink it slowly!" At this time, Uncle Long, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but start teaching the little girl the steps of tea tasting step by step.

And just as they were talking, the middle-aged maid surnamed Zhang had already walked over with a book with a thread binding, sixteen opens, and a thickness of nearly four centimeters.

Took it from the maid's hand, touched the book, because it was often turned over, it looked like it was already a little rough cover, Li Lao's face showed a trace of emotion and reminiscence, "Xiaodong, this book is a note that I have sorted out in the antique shop for forty years, and it records some of the experiences of all the antique appreciation I have seen. Saying that, Li Lao stretched out his hands and put it on the stone table in front of Liu Dong, "I will officially hand it over to you today!" ”

Seeing the old man's actions, although Liu Dong wanted to take the book over in his heart, he was not a greedy person after all. I knew in my heart how valuable this thick book of antique appreciation notes was to those who mixed with antique dealers.

It can be said unceremoniously that as long as the old man has accumulated experience over the past few decades, and then takes some time to supplement some basic appreciation knowledge, then even a rookie who has not yet entered the industry can quickly become a good antique appraiser. At the same time, this book is also what Liu Dong, who is now planning to step into the antique shop, needs the most, compared to the general antique books in the bookstore, Li Lao's notes are undoubtedly much more precious.

"Old Li, this is so precious, I can't accept it!"

"Yes, Lao Li! This is your life's work, although I know that Xiaodong is a good child, but the first time I see it, is it a little too hasty for you to take it out! At this time, Uncle Long, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but persuade.

Although he regards Liu Dong as his nephew, he also understands the value of this notebook in the hands of his old friend, which can really be used as a family heirloom, as long as there is this book, then the Li family will not lack excellent antique appraisers, and this agarwood pavilion can always be in the Quancheng antique market. Therefore, in the identification of antiques, this is a truly priceless treasure, a secret that is not passed on.

After listening to his old friend's words, Li Lao couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand, and said with a hint of helplessness on his face: "Old Dragon, you don't need to say it, you don't know what is going on in my family, none of the children like to collect antiques, except for a few grandchildren who are not adults, the others are basically not interested in these old things, and my Agarwood Pavilion is now no successor!" ”

After Uncle Long heard this, the look on his face quickly became a little lonely, and his Taiyi Pavilion was the same, his sons and grandsons were all abroad, and the foundation he had worked hard for half his life was also facing a situation where there was no successor.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but look up at Liu Dong, who was sitting on the side with a calm look on his face, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, my craft has also been inherited!" ”

"Xiaodong, since Lao Li is gracious, you don't need to excuse yourself, accept it!" At this time, Uncle Long suddenly spoke.

"Uncle Long, Elder Li, is this appropriate?" Liu Dong said with some hesitation on his face.

"It's suitable, why isn't it suitable, give it to you and then you're it, the young man is young, why is he such a mother-in-law!" Li Lao said with a hint of excitement in his words.

Looking at the persistence in the old man's eyes, Liu Dong hesitated for a moment, then took the book from the stone table, and after a deep groan on his face, he suddenly looked at the old man opposite in a firm tone and said: "Old Li, I want to worship you as a teacher and learn antique collection with you!" ”
