Chapter Ninety-One: Ordering Tea
Because the verdict of the tea fight was directly questioned, Cao Lei was already angry, but now he was so troubled by them, he was instantly furious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I didn't want to go on a killing spree, after all, there is a big leader here, but you actually did this and openly criticized the Tea League, if he didn't make a move, every teahouse would follow suit in the future, then this work would not be able to be carried out.
Therefore, in order to maintain the image and majesty of the Tea League, Cao Lei directly initiated a first-level punishment and limited the Royal Tea House to suspend business for rectification within one month.
This punishment seems to be an understatement, but it is already the highest authority of the Tea League!
Whenever this happens, Cao Lei is very powerless, but after all, the tea league only plays the role of supervision, and does not have the authority to manage, so he can't do more.
Cao Lei glanced at Wu Mingshun inadvertently, and wanted to take the opportunity to reflect the difficulties of grassroots work with him, but found that Wu Mingshun looked at his nose and nose, and did not have the slightest intention of communicating with him.
Cao Lei can only give up, it seems that this kind of thing has to be done slowly, with the current situation, it is already the result of everyone's joint efforts to achieve this extent.
Zhang Deyong immediately received the punishment message, and when he saw it, his face turned green.
"President Cao." Zhang Deyong screamed hard, and he couldn't go on.
He is now repentant in his intestines, and he is extremely annoyed that his head was hot just now, so he got on the bar with the tea alliance.
It's good to be in this situation now. This made him want to die, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"Give you a month to calm down!" Cao Lei didn't even look at Zhang Deyong, and planned to directly lead Wu Mingshun back to the headquarters of the Tea League.
"Su Xiaoyou, let's go over and talk about it, how about it?" Wu Mingshun personally walked over and sent an invitation to Su Zhongkang.
In fact, when Wu Mingshun looked at Su Zhongkang's bowl, he already had the answer in his mind.
Based on what he has seen and heard in the past ten years or so, Su Zhongkang is the most talented young man he has ever seen.
Moreover, the most precious thing is that he does not have the arrogance and arrogance of those geniuses, the whole person is gentle and elegant, and his temperament is also very suitable for the tea ceremony.
He believes that if nothing else, Su Zhongkang's achievements are not under the three national treasures of today.
If others knew that Wu Mingshun actually had such expectations for a young man who met for the first time, it would really be a big news that shocked China.
Su Zhongkang didn't want to stay here to watch the farce, so he followed the amiable middle-aged uncle and left the teahouse.
A few minutes later, the group came to Cao Lei's office.
As soon as they entered, they were captivated by its overall style.
It is not so much an office as it is a tea room in the Song and Ming dynasties.
Its overall style is elegant and rustic, with four walls and floors paved with bamboo of equal length, with only a coffee table and a few cushions in the middle of the room.
Except for a vase decorated with flowers and an incense burner on the coffee table, the room was empty except for the scattered paintings and calligraphy.
"Lao Cao, I didn't expect you to be an elegant person!" Wu Mingshun made a rare quip.
"Hahaha, there is actually a literati living in my heart." Cao Lei's face is also very thick-skinned, so he climbed up directly at the end of the conversation.
"Su Xiaoyou's tea skills are exquisite, and he must have different ideas about the tea room. What do you think of my room? Cao Lei looked at Su Zhongkang, who was standing next to him silently, and asked specifically.
At first, he just thought that this young man was good, but he didn't expect that Commissioner Wu would actually look at him differently, and specially invited him to the headquarters of the Tea League to talk.
He had a hunch that Commissioner Wu was not only interested in him, but must have seen his extraordinary, so he also planned to have a good relationship with this little friend.
Su Zhongkang liked this tearoom just now, and after hearing Cao Lei's question, he looked around again, and then said, "This tearoom looks really good." However, if there are a few potted plants that come to life, it may add some life to the tea room. ”
"Hey, Su Xiaoyou's eyes are like torches, and he actually pointed out the problem at once." Cao Lei was quite surprised, this young man had given him too many surprises today, and he actually knew the principle of combining movement and static, and changing yin and yang. His tea room is indeed only a half-finished product, and he has been looking for a pot of plants that can match, but he has never found a favorite one.
This matter has always been in his heart, and he didn't tell anyone else, but he didn't expect to be seen today.
Actually, Su Zhongkang didn't really understand that, he just said it casually. In his teahouse, there are several unknown potted plants that have been carefully selected by the system, so he is used to such an arrangement, and when he is asked by this suddenly, he naturally blurts out.
"It's rare for Commissioner Wu to be here today, and with the fact that I met such a young talent, it's really a double happiness!" Cao Lei and the three took off their shoes, walked into the tea room with socks on, and each picked a cushion to sit cross-legged.
"I'll show you a hand too!" Obviously, Cao Lei is still in a good mood.
With that, he pulled out a set of tea sets from the delicate mechanism under the coffee table.
Wu Mingshun took a very careful look and said in surprise: "Order tea?" ”
"Commissioner Wu, good eyesight!" Cao Lei praised it, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
He has checked all kinds of historical materials in recent years, just to restore the tea ordering method that swept the Song Dynasty.
The prosperity of tea culture in the Song Dynasty was mainly due to the promotion of the aristocratic class. In the Song Dynasty, dignitaries and scholars were keen on tea.
Because of the affluent economy, the aristocracy played a great role in promoting tea culture regardless of the cost.
During the Song Dynasty, the method of ordering tea was the dominant way of drinking tea, so in order to facilitate the ordering of tea, those literati of the Song Dynasty specially recommended a variety of utensils suitable for the method of ordering tea.
However, due to many reasons, this very beautiful but expensive way of drinking tea gradually declined in China until it disappeared, and instead took root in the Fusang district across the sea, and was developed into the matcha method.
After the research of his team, some progress has been made.
I saw that on the coffee table, there are nine kinds of tea utensils, such as tea roasting, tea whisk, anvil, tea bowl, tea mill, tea luo, tea cup, teaspoon, and soup bottle.
Wu Mingshun's eyes lit up, looked at these strange utensils, and praised them again and again: "These tea utensils are too beautiful." ”
"These tea sets are all restored in accordance with the style recorded in ancient books." Cao Lei took out the tea sets one by one and slowly introduced them.
