Of course, Zhang Tianyuan's words were just a joke, if Nie Qinglan really wanted it, he would not refuse, after all, it was only a few million Hong Kong dollars, and he could still afford it.

Besides, even if he wants to give it to Nie Qinglan for nothing, Nie Qinglan may not want it for nothing.

The set of jade jewelry that I gave last time was finally paid by Nie Zhen, after all, the Nie family has a special status, and the gift is too expensive, and they don't dare to accept it lightly, unless they spend money to buy it.

Of course, Nie Qinglan knew that Zhang Tianyuan was joking, so she didn't care too much, and said a few jokes to Zhang Tianyuan, and the car had already arrived at Zhang Tianyuan's villa.

Before coming here, Tian Yu had a lot of speculation in his heart, he knew that Zhang Tianyuan was rich, which he still knew from Liu Jinglin, but he still didn't expect Zhang Tianyuan's villa to be so luxurious and extravagant.

Jadeite refers to the carving of jade.

Tang Taizong said: "Although jade has beautiful quality, it lies in the stones, it is not worth pondering, and it is not different from rubble." This means that although the jade in the stone has the essence of beauty, it is not finely carved, and it is the same as the broken stones. Ornamental jade in the hand is a human thing. Therefore, the ancients said: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made, and if people do not learn, it will not become a material".

Jadeite is called jadeite in our country, whether it is a bare piece or a carved piece, it has to be pondered before it can be formed.

If you want to become a good jade master, it is definitely not easy. First of all, you have to understand jade, you have to understand jadeite, and secondly, you have to know various skills such as carving, painting, color grading, connoisseurship and even design, and the more you know, the richer your work will be. The better.

Tian Yu is relatively good in this, he is not only a jade master. It is also a jewelry designer, for aesthetic attainments. It was quite high, but even so, after looking at Zhang Tianyuan's villa, he couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of his heart.

The more people who know how to appreciate aesthetics, the more they can appreciate the good of Zhang Tianyuan's villa, although it has just been completed, but whether it is from the design or the modeling, it is very appreciative value.

The perfect combination of practicality and aesthetics is the overall rating of this villa.

Tian Yu was still busy admiring the villa. But I heard Zhang Tianyuan say: "Designer Tian, this time you come to me, you will stay for nearly a month, will it delay your normal life?"

"I don't care, I'm single, and I still have some savings in the card, so these are not problems, as long as I call my parents on time to say it, let alone a month. Even a year is not a problem. Tian Yu said with a smile.

"Well, I heard that you people have to design a piece of jewelry, and we don't need to design it this time, the main thing is to make some established jade bare pieces. How should this cost be calculated?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.

As a businessman, you can't be confused about money, you have to make it clear before that. Otherwise, if you don't think about it when it's done, it will not only damage the relationship between the two. And it may also cause some unnecessary trouble.

Tian Yu shook his head and said, "This time it's Boss Zhang, you help me, it's good not to want my money." How dare I ask for your money. ”

Although Tian Yu said so, Zhang Tianyuan is not a greedy person, if he really does this, he may indeed be able to save some money, but if this matter spreads, it will not be beneficial to his reputation.

Giving up long-term interests for the sake of a small profit is something that only a fool can calculate.

He won't.

"No, no, no, this money must be given, I will help, but it is also true that Designer Tian you work for me, if you don't want money, then we don't want to do this business." Zhang Tianyuan's attitude was very resolute.

Tian Yu thought for a while and said: "That's it, since you are so insistent, let's compromise, I'll do it first, if you are satisfied enough with what you make, then you will give me the manual fee according to the current market level, and if you are not satisfied, then you don't need to give money, so it's always okay, right?"

"That's a good idea. Zhang Tianyuan readily agreed, Tian Yu said this, it seems that he is very confident in his own technology, such a person, Zhang Tianyuan is also willing to believe.

"I said you two, don't stand outside, although it's not sunny at this time, it's not a problem, let's go inside and talk while drinking tea." Nie Qinglan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you see I'm confused, how can I let Designer Tian stand outside, let's go in and talk, I have a good West Lake Longjing there, I heard Master Liu say that you like to drink." Zhang Tianyuan smiled and invited Tian Yu into the living room, and then was about to make tea himself, but was stopped by Nie Qinglan.

"Okay, you two talk, I'll make this tea, I used to be bored when I was in school, I learned the art of tea, and I'll show you a hand today." ”

Speaking of tea art, many people will say Japan when they mention it, but in fact, the development of tea art to prosperity is in our country.

Tea art, sprouted in the Tang Dynasty, carried forward in the Song Dynasty, reformed in the Ming Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, can be said to have considerable historical origins and become a system of its own.

Originally, it was the monks who used tea to concentrate their thoughts, and the Tang Dynasty Zhaozhou Congchen Zen Master used to "eat tea" to attract scholars, and later it became a ritual to share tea.

In the Tang Dynasty, tea was boiled with ginger salt, known as ginger salt tea, and the poet Xue Neng's "Tea Poems" cloud: "Salt damage adds to the regular precept, and ginger should be boiled more yellow." "At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the popular tea method, the tea leaves were crushed into fine powder, and the tea soup that was brewed out should be as white as milk, "Guanlin Poems" contained, Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty liked the spring water of Fengxiang Jade Girl Cave, every time he went, he had to take two bottles and bring them back to cook tea. Su Shi has a poem "Sending Tea with Jiang Kui": "The old wife and child don't know love, and half of it has been fried in ginger salt." ”。 Su Shi himself attaches great importance to the health effect of tea, and rinsing his mouth with strong tea after eating can relieve his tiredness.

Since the Ming Dynasty, making tea has become popular.

The national character of our country is naturally modest and does not pay attention to form. Therefore, whether it is the tea book of the Tang Dynasty, the Daguan tea of the Song Dynasty, or the tea of the Ming Dynasty, the article is only a general theory, the general people will drink tea into a part of life, there is no ceremony, there is no religious color, tea is a necessity of life, how to drink if you are happy, how to drink. Tea drinking is all about taste. For example, "Wearing Tired Songs", "Talking in the Late Night", "Painting Boat on the Bridge", and "Burning Incense in the Small Courtyard" are all the best environment and time for tea. The realm of "guests come to tea and wine on cold nights" not only shows the harmony and joy between the guests and hosts. And it contains a kind of elegant feeling.

Where there is a place where Chinese people settle, they bring with them the habit of drinking tea; the Han people were the first to discover tea and are an ancient people who drink tea. When you come to Taiwan, you may be in a temple in an old street, and you will see old people sitting leisurely around a fist-sized and ancient teapot, with a cup in each hand, talking and drinking, that is the traditional old man's tea in China. You may also be on the busy streets of the Taipei metropolis. If you are interested in stopping by to taste, there will be someone to show you how to make a pot of easy-to-learn kung fu tea.

Nowadays, in many small cities, you can see a place called tea show, tea art in our country is now slowly recovering and flourishing again, girls like Nie Qinglan know tea art, it is really surprising.

"Do you still know the art of tea?" Zhang Tianyuan has not known Nie Qinglan for a day or two, but it is the first time that he has heard that she knows tea art.

"Look down on me. When I used to be at home, I often made tea for the old man to drink, which is also a little hobby of mine, from the tea art. I can feel a lot of things too. It's the same as I love to draw. Nie Qinglan explained.

"Okay, then I'm going to see it. "Zhang Tianyuan has also admired kung fu tea in the tea show before, but a big beauty like Nie Qinglan makes tea. For the first time, he had to appreciate it.

Nie Qinglan smiled. Asked, "Do you have incense in your house?"

"Yes, after my villa was built, I set up an ancestral hall. There are ancestral tablets that our family can find in it, so this incense can't be broken, what do you want incense for?" Zhang Tianyuan asked in wonder.

"I've heard that the first process of this green tea art is 'lighting incense to get rid of delusions', and incense is an indispensable process. Tian Yu explained.

Zhang Tianyuan asked the person in charge of taking care of the ancestral hall to fetch incense, and asked in this interval: "What is the reason for this incense burning to get rid of delusions?"

Nie Qinglan said with a smile: "Making tea can cultivate one's self-cultivation, and tasting tea is like tasting life." Ancient and modern tea tasting pay attention to calm and calm. 'Burning incense to dispel delusions' is to light the incense through guò to create a peaceful and solemn atmosphere. ”

"Oh, that's right. Gain knowledge!"

Not long after, the incense came, and Nie Qinglan skillfully lit the incense, and then began to make tea.

Next, Nie Qinglan began to carefully wash the cup, and while washing, she explained: "This is called 'washing the cup and removing the earth', tea, to be clean and clean, is a spiritual object cultivated by heaven and earth, and the utensils used to make tea must also be clean and clean." 'Bingxin to go to the dust' is to use boiling water to scald the already clean teacup again, so that the teacup is clear and spotless. ”

"It's really exquisite, I used to drink tea with herbal tea, and I drank it directly. Zhang Tianyuan said that it was naturally before he had no money, after he had money, he also enjoyed the feeling of tasting tea, after all, when there was no money, it was to survive, and when there was money, it was for life, which meant different.

Seeing that Nie Qinglan put the hot water there, but didn't make tea, Zhang Tianyuan asked in wonder, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you use hot hot water to make tea? I remember that my grandfather used to drink tea and even put the teapot on the stove to boil." ”

Nie Qinglan shook her head and said: "This is called 'Liangtang Jade Pot Yangtaihe', green tea belongs to the bud tea category, because the tea leaves are delicate, if you brew it directly with hot boiling water, it will destroy the vitamins in the tea buds and cause the cooked soup to lose its taste." Only boiled water at 80°C should be used. 'Jade pot raising Taihe' is to pour the water in the boiling kettle into the porcelain pot in advance for a while, so that the water temperature drops to about 80 °C. ”

"So my grandfather used to drink tea and was all nonsense?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a wry smile.

"Not necessarily, I'm just doing it when I was making green tea. Nie Qinglan explained.

"Oh, I see. Hey, what are you doing here?"

"This is called 'Throwing Tea to Welcome the Beauty in the Qing Palace', Su Dongpo has a poem: 'Don't laugh as a little poet, never like a beautiful woman'. The Qing Palace welcomes the beauty with a teaspoon to put the tea leaves into the icy and jade teacup. ”

"Tea art is worthy of tea art, this makes Wen Zou Zou, but it is a little interesting, the rich people's way of drinking tea and pastime, saying that ordinary people, but not so much. Zhang Tianyuan sighed.

Next, I saw Nie Qinglan pour some hot water into the teacup, but did not put the tea, Zhang Tianyuan just wanted to ask, so he heard Nie Qinglan say: "'Moisten the tea nectar and run the lotus heart', a good green tea looks like a lotus heart, and the Qianlong Emperor called the tea 'Moistening Heart Lotus'." Manna moistens the lotus heart by pouring a little hot water into the cup before brewing again, which plays the role of moistening the tea. ”

"Pay attention to Boss Zhang, the next thing is the point!" Tian Yu's eyes suddenly lit up. (To be continued......)
