Chapter 232 On Giving Tea

In fact, Haiwei's grandmother's maternal ancestors are also well-known tea masters, and their lineage is the Chen method of ordering tea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is a pity that after the dragon and phoenix tea cakes were stopped by the authorities, most of the tea leaves in the world were changed to the roasted green process, and no longer followed the steamed green process, so with the death of the older generation of Chen's tea ordering inheritors, the tea ordering method has slowly been lost.

Until the last inheritor died, he tore the manuscript of the "Daguan Tea Treatise" that had been passed down for several generations into two, half of which was left as a memory for future generations, and the other half was passed on to his apprentices.

Haiwei's grandmother's maiden name is Chen, so what Su Zhongkang is holding in his hand is the second half of the book that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Chen family.

"I saw that Xiao Su watched it with relish just now." Chen Yingrong, Haiwei's grandmother, said with a smile.

For example, this half of the book on tea is all written in classical Chinese, which is obscure, not to mention a young man like Su Zhongkang, even she herself can't stand it.

Therefore, when she saw that Su Zhongkang seemed to be clear, her heart was very happy. From the moment she got this cloth bag, she carried a thought of the Chen family.

If you have the chance, be sure to restore the glory of Chen's tea ordering method!

This is the reason why as soon as she heard the news of Xianding Cloud Mist Tea, she immediately summoned Su Zhongkang to her home.

"Do you know what the book is about?" Chen Yingrong showed a look of expectation.

"Don't you know? This is the famous "Treatise on Tea", also known as "The Treatise on Tea". Unfortunately, though, it's only the bottom half. Su Zhongkang blurted out.

"Hey, this book is really about tea. Haven't heard of you before? Haiwei asked in surprise.

She only knew that her grandmother's house had a very old book, but she didn't expect that the content in it was actually related to tea.

"Wait. This title is quite familiar, I seem to have seen it when I was reading tea information before! Haiwei thought about it again and realized that she seemed to have really heard the name.

"That's right! The rubbings of "Daguan Tea Treatise" that appear on the market now are only the first half, and all the missing parts are here! Su Zhongkang searched for information directly from the Internet and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Isn't it! It's also amazing. Haiting, who had a non-caring attitude, overheard what they were talking about, and immediately raised his ears and let out an exclamation.

"Grandma, we're rich! These broken books are priceless. Haiting screamed unconsciously, excited.

Chen Yingrong pretended to be angry and slapped Hai Ting's head on the head, even talking nonsense.

"What a fortune! This is what the ancestors left for future generations, do you want to sell it? ”

Haiting pouted, pretending to be pitiful.

"Xiao Su, what do you think?" The old man turned his gaze to Su Zhongkang again.

This young man could see at a glance that it was very likely that he was the descendant of a disciple with a foreign surname who inherited the upper half.

She heard from the elders of the family that when they were divided between the two, the disciple with the surname was older and was very interested in the tea method, so he later begged the descendants of the Chen family to let him copy it back by hand to study.

Therefore, if someone can see that this is "Daguan Tea Treatise", it can only be the line of disciples with foreign surnames.

"What do you think?" Su Zhongkang blinked his eyes a few times and said, "This is a precious craft left by the ancestors, especially the secrets involving the technique of ordering tea, I don't think it is suitable to be disclosed." As the saying goes, the law is not passed on lightly. People don't value things that can be easily obtained, so I don't approve of selling them. ”

In fact, Su Zhongkang still didn't talk about one point, that is, other districts have been isolating the Chinese tea ceremony, thinking that their own is authentic. If this manuscript is bought by them, then it may be theirs, and it will really be unclear when the time comes.

"What is too easy to get hold of will not be cherished. I agree with that. "The more the old man looks at Su Zhongkang, the more pleasing it becomes. This kid has a steadiness beyond his age, and he is only a few years older than Haiting, but when the two are compared, one is in heaven and the other is on earth.

"Have you seen this before?" The old man could tell the name of the book at a glance, and he almost decided that this young man should be the inheritor of the disciple of the old ancestor's foreign surname.

"I've seen it, but it's not so detailed!" Su Zhongkang was a little confused, he found that the content recorded in this book was actually more detailed than that given to him by the tea ceremony inheritance system.

"And you'll order tea?" The old man asked again.

At this time, Su Zhongkang was almost sure that the ancestor of this old man should be a master of ordering tea, otherwise he would not have left such a large amount of wealth.

It's just that Su Zhongkang is a little pity, why can't they understand these now!

"I'll show you a couple of reports." Su Zhongkang directly searched for the news published on the official website of the Tea League that he handed in the dragon and phoenix tea cakes.

"Dragon and phoenix tea cakes? Born again? The old man watched these news, and his heart was agitated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At the beginning, it was because the dragon and phoenix tea cakes were lost that this tea method was useless.

If the dragon and phoenix tea cakes are born, then this tea method should not be hidden anymore.

"I really hope that in my lifetime, I can drink such a cup of tea."

"There's going to be a chance, trust me."

Chen Yingrong looked at Su Zhongkang, who had a firm gaze, and felt a lot more relaxed for no reason.

Su Zhongkang chatted with them for a while, and then planned to say goodbye and go back.

When he stood up, Chen Yingrong solemnly put the re-tied cloth bag into Su Zhongkang's hand.

"You, what is this. I can't help it, it's too expensive, I can't afford it. Su Zhongkang was a little frightened, he was still thinking about how to get this manuscript from her in a mutually beneficial way just now, after all, one of his tasks was to collect the entire manuscript of "Daguan Tea Treatise", but he didn't expect happiness to come too suddenly, she directly planned to give the manuscript to him.

"In my opinion, you are the most promising talent to inherit the Chan tea ordering method. Moreover, I sincerely hope that the entire manuscript of "The Great View of Tea" can be combined into one. Chen Yingrong said earnestly.

It turned out that she thought of me as the inheritor of another lineage! Su Zhongkang suddenly realized that the old man had already talked to them about some previous things in detail before this.

"I give it to you, too, for my own selfishness." When Chen Yingrong saw that Su Zhongkang didn't dare to accept it with peace of mind, he could only think of another set of arguments.

“……”

"If you can, I'd like you to teach Haiwei or Haiting how to order tea. This manuscript, then, serves as their apprenticeship. Chen Yingrong's gaze was extremely calm, if Chen's tea ordering method could be repeated in her lifetime, then what could a mere manuscript be worth.

Hearing that she had talked about this, Su Zhongkang could only accept this heavy gift for the time being.
