Chapter 289: Xiang Sister
"Ahem!" Duan Yazai coughed lightly. Only then did he wake up the two people around him, "I guess Sister Xiang made you laugh last night, when this girl came to Qiaozhou, she was like a bird out of a cage, very wild." If Xiang Mei's red hair is seen by his grandmother, hehe-"
"Uncle! You're arranging me in front of outsiders again! If you say that again, I won't make you kung fu tea! ”
Xiang Zijiao said angrily, Duan Yazai smiled bitterly at Liu Feng and the others: "My uncle is not majestic at all here in Xiang Meizi, you have also seen it, the little girl is horizontal!" ”
The safe sitting of the beautiful woman is the style from standing to sitting, just like a piece of classical music full of charm, which makes people fully appreciate what is called rhythmic beauty! Liu Feng suddenly felt a pain in his legs, lowered his eyes, and Zhu Danyang's little hands had just been withdrawn.
Peeking at it, Zhu Danyang was sitting upright, if Liu Feng hadn't caught it just now, he really wouldn't believe that Sister Danyang did it. Liu Feng himself felt a little out of shape, probably because the contrast between the two sisters was too huge, which made Liu Feng feel amazing.
In fact, the beauties around Liu Feng, which one is not a peerless beauty, Xiao Meier's grace and gentleness, Xu Ying's light anger and anger, Huang Suxin's graceful and subtle, Hao Ya's delicate and lovely, any one standing here will never lose to Sister Xiang.
It's just that the extreme gap from a little sister to a classical lady gives Liu Feng a sense of freshness. In fact, it's no wonder that Liu Feng, a woman in Zhu Danyang, was not stunned by Xiang Mei's gorgeous transformation?
However, Liu Feng has finally made great progress in his emotional intelligence, and he has absolutely no way to explain to Sister Danyang, just now he was just curious, not anything else. It seems that this dark loss can only be endured! Liu Feng didn't dare to show a little unhappiness on his face, but he felt very wronged in his heart.
Xiang Meizi's next tea ceremony performance surprised Liu Feng and Zhu Danyang! Tea ceremony is a kind of performance art that expresses certain etiquette, character, artistic conception, aesthetic views and spiritual thoughts through tea tasting activities.
It is a combination of tea art and spirit, and through the expression of the spirit of tea art, the tea ceremony flourished in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song and Ming dynasties, and declined in the Qing Dynasty. The main content of the Chinese tea ceremony pays attention to the beauty of the five realms, that is, tea, tea, fire, tea utensils, environment, and other conditions, in order to seek the highest enjoyment of "taste" and "heart", which is called aesthetic religion.
Tea culture belongs to the category of Chinese culture, that is, it is a kind of artistic conception that is standardized in all details of tea tasting with etiquette, and pays attention to tea, tea, fire, tea utensils, environment, and the cultivation and emotions of drinkers.
The connotation of tea culture is actually a specific manifestation of the connotation of Chinese culture, and tea culture must be combined with Chinese and Han culture. Liu Feng and the others couldn't connect the Xiang sister in front of them with the little sister who took the initiative to kiss last night.
At this time, Xiang Meizi can only be described as "hands like soft wattles, skin like clotted fat, collar like grubs, teeth like rhinoceros, mantis head and moth eyebrows, clever smile, beautiful eyes" to describe, it is appropriate. The tight standing collar of the cheongsam just right to support the slender neck of this little beauty, the strict neckline, where is the amazing whiteness of last night?
Duan Yazai said lightly: "The old man is a layman, and he has never liked such crepe things, but my in-laws like this." Especially to the sister's grandmother, the old lady has big rules! ”
Xiang Meizi is always smiling, just like the person in the painting who really walked down on the picture of the lady, only the skillful and soft tea art display, which can be called the tea art performance of the ballet on the tea table, makes people have a kind of dream-like reality.
What she brought to her sister was a complete set of purple sand tea sets, and the little beauty first lit a copper charcoal stove with a red purple sand pot on it. This is a handle-type purple clay pot, the body of the pot is jujube red, the color is warm and soft, the trunk simulates the handle and the button on the lid, and the body of the pot is embellished with a plum blossom, all of which are purple and black.
Show the girl the purple clay pot that has been washed with clean water, and then take out a large bottle of ice spring from under the dining car. After rinsing the ice fountain from Oasis Water again, the pot is filled with ice spring water and the water is boiled.
There was room for boiling water, and Xiang Meizi cleaned all the tea sets with her hands lightly, Duan Yazai shook her head: "This girl was sent to the little devil by her grandmother back then, and she specially learned this set of things, at that time, Xiang Meizi was only thirteen years old, and every time she called me, she cried, the child was homesick!" ”
Liu Feng reluctantly retracted his gaze and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to learn other people's things?" The tea ceremony is an authentic Chinese culture, and when the master has to go to the disciples and grandchildren to ask for advice. ”
Xiang Meizi smiled, the voice was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, crisp and pleasant: "It turns out that Professor Liu also doesn't understand, the Huaxia tea ceremony declined as early as the Qing Dynasty." Especially the four old in the red era, it made the tea ceremony almost lost, and my grandmother couldn't find a master in China, so she sent me to Dongdu to learn art. ”
Liu Feng smiled slightly: "In fact, the inheritance of Chinese culture is more hidden in the folk, just like the tea fighting in the Lingnan area, some places are still thriving, right?" ”
Xiang Meizi's eyes flashed, but she didn't expect that Liu Feng also had research on this. In fact, among Liu Feng's three masters, the one who likes to taste tea the most is not the Confucian master Su Old Man, nor the polite Tao Old Man Tao, but the martial arts master Zheng Xiaotian.
Xiang sighed lightly to the girl: "Grandma said the same thing at the beginning, but-"
The girl shook her head and concentrated on making tea, it was clear that her efforts had been in vain.
Liu Feng said with a smile: "In fact, what was annihilated in the red era was only the Confucian tea culture, which was the tea culture in the red dust. ”
Xiang Meizi was slightly stunned: "Do you mean Zen tea?" ”
"Of course, it's not just Zen tea, but also Taoism's unity of heaven and man! In fact, the ancients' pursuit of any skill ultimately comes down to a Taoist saying, that is: Taoism is natural! The tea ceremony is no exception, and the word "Tao" is very revealing! ”
Xiang Yanran smiled at the girl: "I really rarely hear people mention that the Tao of the tea ceremony is the way of Taoism and nature!" ”
Liu Feng said: "The tea ceremony is a kind of pursuit of Chinese literati and ink writers, which expounds the most simple aesthetic concept of advocating nature, advocating simplicity, advocating truth, and the idea of rebirth, noble life, and health preservation, all of which are the ideological realm of Confucianism and Taoism.
China has a long history and has had countless glorious civilizations, and as the descendants of China, we should be proud to inherit this civilization. For example, the formality of tea culture shown to Miss is far less than the profound tea culture in China.
Why doesn't Miss Xiang study the inheritance of Chinese tea culture, open a new generation of Chinese tea culture, and become a grandmaster of Chinese new tea culture? In that way, Miss Xiang will become a strange woman who will go down in history, not just a small jasper who shows us and other laypeople the tea ceremony. ”
Xiang Meizi's heart was surging when Liu Feng's words were surging, and even her breathing was a little unstable, but years of cultivation made the girl quickly calm down.
Xiang Meizi nodded to Liu Feng with a phoenix three and offered the first cup of tea: "Professor Liu, thank you for the reminder, I will study Huaxia tea culture next, as you said, to be the grandmaster of a generation of tea culture!" ”
Liu Feng bowed solemnly, took the Sancai cup with both hands, squinted his eyes and sniffled slightly, and sighed: "Good tea!" ”
Zhu Danyang pursed his lips and smiled, and after taking the cup, he almost didn't flash Liu Feng's heel: "Tea is good, people are more beautiful!" ”
Duan Yazai's original intention was to show the tea ceremony to his sister, compare the impetuousness and impulsiveness of Liu Feng and the others, and humiliate this little Professor Liu. It's just that I didn't expect that this vigorous and resolute District Mayor Liu would be so proficient in advocating a quiet, tranquil, lonely, and inactive tea ceremony.
Secretary Duan felt a little powerless, this kid really knew everything, and he thought that few young people would like this kind of slow thing. Just like Duan Pengfei, as soon as that kid saw his cousin take out the tea set, there was no shadow for the first time.
However, District Chief Liu obviously has really studied this way, and even his own professional niece is deeply admired, which cannot but be said to be an outlier. Duan Yazai knew at this time that it was impossible for him to move back in some aspects and make up for the face he had just lost.
Drinking tea here, appreciating the beautiful women showing the art of tea ceremony, and the Hunan delicacies with beautiful shapes and bright colors have been put on the table one after another. Hunan cuisine has a long history, and has formed dozens of cooking methods up to now, among the three major types of cooking techniques of hot cooking, cold preparation and sweet cooking, there are a few kinds of each type of cooking technique, and there are dozens of kinds of each type of technique.
Comparatively speaking, the simmering skills of Hunan cuisine are even better, almost to the point of perfection. Simmering can be divided into red simmer and white simmer in terms of color change, and there are clear soup simmering, thick soup simmering and milk soup simmering in terms of seasoning.
Simmer slowly over low heat, the original flavor, some dishes are crystal clear and mellow, some vegetables are pure and nourishing, some dishes are soft and glutinous, some dishes are crispy and fragrant, many simmered dishes have become famous dishes in Hunan cuisine.
With the steamed cured meat, Dong'anzi chicken, spicy chicken, red simmered shark's fin, soup soaked belly, rock sugar Xianglian, and money fish, these unique Hunan cuisine characteristics of food are put on the table, and the tempting fragrance comes to the nose, making several people immersed in the artistic conception of the tea ceremony feel hungry.
The four of them looked at each other and smiled, Duan Yazai stood up: "Come on, come on, please come to the table, it's good to ask the sister's tea ceremony, but the more you drink, the more hungry you become, this can't stand it!" ”
Xiang Xiaozi pursed her mouth, glared at her uncle resentfully, and began to pick up her treasures slowly. Liu Feng still wanted to see the beautiful woman's artistic movements, but he was already dragged by Zhu Danyang and walked to the dining table over there.
Since it is a delicacy in Taizu's hometown, the famous braised pork is naturally indispensable, which is Taizu's favorite. This bowl of braised pork with Hunan cuisine is definitely different from the common ones in the Kanto region, its oil is heavy and colorful, sour and spicy, fragrant and fresh, soft and tender, all of which can be called the best delicacy.
This meal is probably the most hearty that Liu Feng ate when he came to Qiaozhou City, Hunan cuisine is fragrant, spicy, numb, sour, sweet, crisp, and tender, and it is definitely a favorite of gourmets. Liu Feng didn't dare to say that he was a gourmet, but his yearning for delicious food was innate.
It's just that during the banquet, Zhu Danyang secretly scolded him quietly: "Foodie!" ”
Liu Feng was speechless, where am I like a foodie? Immediately, Zhu Danyang made a dice throwing action, and Liu Feng suddenly realized. The emotional family remembered Mei Shuying, and when they remembered that night, Liu Feng couldn't help laughing.
At that time, I seemed to be a little excessive, but who made that person not win or lose too much!
Secretary Duan, like many old cadres who have changed jobs, loves wine like life, and drinking with Liu Feng gives Secretary Duan a feeling of returning to the army. Looking at the rise of this old man and young drinker, Zhu Danyang also came up to have fun, and did not fall behind the two old men at all.
Duan Yazai didn't expect that Zhu Danyang would have such a good amount of wine, and immediately laughed: "I wish the district chief and the women don't let the eyebrows be bearded, and the wine is refreshing enough!" Many men are afraid that they will not dare to compare with you, but the old man will have drinking friends in the future! ”
Xiang Zi Jiao said: "Uncle is talking about wine again, I wish my sister is a lady, who drinks with you?" ”
Duan Pengfei's drinking was far inferior to his Lao Tzu, holding a small jade cup of three coins, a little bit like he was tasting wine instead of drinking. This point made Duan Yazai look angry the most, according to Secretary Duan's words, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them looked like they were made of a mold, they really wondered if it was their own species!
