"I," Nan Xun said with a smile, "Learn from you and be a shopkeeper!" ”

"I, shake my hands and shop!?" Yan Shao said, "Come on, I've been locked up for a few days, what kind of shopkeeper is it, I knew that I might as well not agree to my father to come to Miaojiang!" ”

Nan Xun said: "Some things naturally need to be solved by the shopkeeper, and not all things are suitable for others to deal with." ”

At this time, Xiao Er on the side said: "Miss, do you really plan to hand over this tea transportation to me in the future!?" ”

Nan Xun smiled: "That's the plan, but, I don't know if I can, I don't know if I can open this tea road, and I don't know how the income is, if it can work, I naturally want you to come, by the way, Brother Ba, this is Nan Xiaoer, a child adopted by my father before, and I am like a brother and sister, if this thing can be done, he will be responsible for the tea affairs in the future, and at that time, I still need you to give him more guidance!" ”

Big Brother Ba looked at Xiao Er, then turned his head to Nan Xun and said: "Well, there is no need to say much, I think this kid is steady and sincere, he is a good child, and he will definitely do something in the future!" ”

"I hope so!" Nan Xun also looked at Xiao Er and asked.

Xiao Er immediately said: "I can definitely do it, that is, if I run around to transport tea, then, who protects Miss, Xiao Yi can't do it, he can't even protect himself, let alone protect Miss You!" ”

"Don't worry, Nan Xun said, after returning to Luoyang this time, I don't plan to say anything about it. You are responsible for the things outside, and the things inside, Xiaoyi is in charge, and I can be a shopkeeper with peace of mind. ”

"Oh, that's fine." Xiao Er nodded, thinking that this was good, if the young lady didn't go out, it would definitely be the safest.

As for letting him travel thousands of miles to transport tea, he had no opinion at all, after all, he followed him all the way from Luoyang to Yangtho City. He learned a lot about the things along the way, but if he was transporting tea, he was confident that he could still complete it. Besides, this is the first major thing that Nan Xun has given him for so many years, and he must do it well.

Truth be told, so many years. Nan Xun's care for the first and second children, anyone can see it, just now Nan Xun said that it is like a sister and brother, in fact, it is better than a sister and brother.

The first and second children are also people who know gratitude, and they have always tried their best to help do something.

Before, they were too young to handle some heavy burdens, but now they are all seventeen or eighteen young men, and Nan Xun slowly handed over some things to them to deal with.

For example, before coming, giving a word to Xiao Yi is a kind of exercise for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Er didn't say anything. In fact, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, after all, Xiao Yi could already help Nan Xun deal with business, and he couldn't do anything, but he didn't say anything when he thought that he could be by Miss's side and protect Miss after he became a martial artist.

Nan Xun is not ready to tie Xiao Er to her side all the time, even if Xiao Er is a martial artist, she still will not take Xiao Er with her all the time, because in that case, Nan Xun will feel that Xiao Er has no future. So now that I find such an opportunity, I will hand over the matter of transporting tea to Xiao Er.

Yan Shao said: "It's not okay if you don't go out, it will be moldy." Hahaha! ”

"You talk a lot!" Nan Xun glared at Yan Shao, "I don't care if I don't have mold, what's the matter with you!?" ”

"Why don't you care about my business," Yan Shao said very strictly, "I don't want to take the trouble to marry and go home when the time comes." Ah, it's already moldy, so I'm going to lose a lot! ”

"No one forced you to marry me, can you not marry!?"

Yan Shao said: "You promised to marry!?" ”

"You are shameless, when did I say that I agreed to marry!"

"Then why do you say that I can not marry, that means that I can also marry!"

Nan Xun completely lost his temper with Yan Shao's idea of a pit person, so he didn't continue to talk to him like this, Nan Xun felt that if he continued like this, he would fall into the pit dug by Yan Shao sooner or later.

She felt that Yan Shao must have said this on purpose, so that she would not be careful and fall in, and then she would be able to make Nan Xun agree to marry her.

It's better to talk less to Yan Shao, thinking of this, Nan Xun turned his head and said to Big Brother Ba: "Big brother, I still have to ask you something, our tea is resistant to transportation, it's a long way from here to the Central Plains, don't transport it when I arrive, and I find that it has become tea foam." ”

"It must be resistant to transportation, I have nothing to do with it from here to Hui, and it will definitely not be a problem to get to the Central Plains."

"Oh, I mean, is there any trick, method, or other trick to make the tea better when the time comes?" ”

"No, our tea, as long as you don't knead, step on it, handle it gently, and ensure that at this time, what it looks like, and when you arrive in the Central Plains, it's still what it looks like, as long as the road doesn't get wet in the rain!"

Nan Xun changed the topic, and it was not good to say anything about marriage when Yan Shao said, but said: "It shouldn't be raining, and it won't be a problem to get some oil paper to cover it tightly when the time comes." ”

"Well," said Big Brother Ba, "at that time, we went to the tea and horse market, and it was the same, but the oil paper was light and not easy to see the wind, and if the wind was too strong, it would be torn." ”

Nan Xun said: "That's simple, just tighten it with a rope." ”

"Well, when the time comes, remember to put a few more layers of oiled paper, so that you won't wear out the oiled paper after a long journey, and it will be better protected from rain."

"yes, that's a good idea, I made a note of it!"

"Come on, come on," Big Brother Ba saw that Nan Xun and Yan Shao's teacups were more than halfway down, so he said and poured tea for the two of them, "Drink a few more cups, it's all your own anyway." ”

Nan Xun said: "Don't do it, let's just come to walk around and take a look at the tea garden, now that I'm done, Yan Shao also feels satisfied, and it's time to go back." ”

Nan Xun didn't ask Yan Shao's feelings, and directly helped him say that he was satisfied, and then he was ready to pull Yan Shao away, so as not to embarrass him by talking nonsense, he said that the eldest young master had gone through a lot of things, so he was thick-skinned, it didn't matter, but Nan Xun was not as brazen as him, and felt that it was too embarrassing to talk about marriage in front of outsiders.

can say little, how can I listen to her, I saw him sitting at the table, not moving. Drinking tea slowly, he said, "What's the hurry, what time is this, so anxious to go back to the inn." How boring it is to stay. ”

Nan Xun glared at him and said, "I said that the eldest young master, you are an idler, you think that everyone is as idle as you, and there is time to talk to you here!" ”

"Oh. Aren't you also idle and have nothing to do," Yan Shao pretended to be surprised, "What's the matter, do you have any relatives to visit!?" ”

Nan Xun took a deep breath, if she hadn't seen that Brother Ba was still here, she would have quarreled with Yan Shao, but in front of Brother Ba, she still had to save some face for this Yan Shao, she said, "Okay, yes." I'm an idler now, but how can I have time to chat with you here, don't bother Big Brother here. ”

Yan Shao seemed to realize this problem, and then nodded, feeling that Nan Xun was reasonable, he and Nan Xun were born in a merchant family since they were children, and they didn't work in the field, so they didn't know how busy this kind of land work was, maybe they would really disturb Big Brother Ba's cultivation here.

Maybe Big Brother Ba was about to go to the tea garden to work on the farm, but he didn't leave here. It's not good to drive Yan Shao away, after all, Yan Shao is their merchant, so he has no choice but to accompany him, and the result will delay things in the tea garden.

Words are few and want to get up. I wanted to say goodbye to Brother Ba, but I heard Brother Ba say: "I'm really not in a hurry, I plan to keep the two of you to talk to me, you are in such a hurry to leave." ”

Yan Shao's buttocks, which he was about to lift, sat back all of a sudden, and said, "It's just right." I'm also thinking about talking to Big Brother Ba and asking if there is any saying for this tea ceremony in Miaojiang. ”

"Hahaha, it seems that Yan Shao is also a person who likes tea, since you want to hear it, you might as well say it to see, tea ceremony, what is said in the Central Plains, let me talk about it, our tea ceremony in Miaojiang."

"Hmm."

Then Yan Shao chatted with Big Brother Ba, and put the protagonist Nan Xun aside, and no one even beckoned her Nan Xun to go back and sit.

Nan Kaoru had no choice but to silently walk back to the table by herself, look at the two of them, sit down, listen to the two tea lovers, and talk about the tea ceremony.

The tea ceremony, speaking of which, the most famous is the Yashi tea ceremony, and the Zen tea ceremony.

Yashi, mostly refers to scholars and doctors, these people have the opportunity to get famous tea, and they are the first to cultivate a fine sense of tea; Tea helps Wensi, and is the first to experience the charm of tea. It was this group of people who refined tea affairs and founded the Yashi Tea Ceremony, which has since formed various schools of tea ceremony under its influence. It can be said that without these gentlemen, there would be no Chinese tea ceremony.

Moreover, this group of people is concentrated and exploded, before the Wei and Jin dynasties, tea drinkers and tea drinkers were not as common as now, but in the Wei and Jin dynasties, tea was deeply loved for its light and noble taste, which was also in line with the atmosphere of the Wei and Jin dynasties, so the Yashi tea ceremony was almost formed at that time.

Until Li Tang, all literati and writers drank tea, but all those who could count their names wrote poems and articles about tea.

Tea helps to think, the meaning of tea, the tea ceremony has become a fashion, making tea drinking a kind of spiritual enjoyment, its role is not only to quench thirst, eat and refresh, but to guide people's spirit into a transcendent realm, in the leisure and elegant tea tasting, realize something, hope to discover, have sustenance, have forgotten.

At this time, the tea ceremony had been fully formed, and tea drinking became an inseparable part of the poetry members.

As for the Zen tea ceremony, it should also have started in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

The Book of Jin? Art Biography records: Dunhuang people are single-handed, not afraid of cold and heat, often take small stones, take the medicine of pine, cinnamon, honey, and drink tea Su.

This is an earlier official record of monks drinking tea. Shan Dao Kai is a person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, sitting and meditating in Zhaode Temple in Mantis City, often taking pills with the smell of pine, cinnamon and honey, and drinking a drink called "tea Su" that boils tea, ginger, cinnamon, orange, jujube, etc. Qingqin is a matter after the Song Dynasty, and it should be said that the single-way drinking is a very authentic tea soup at that time.

During the Li and Tang dynasties, Buddhism prevailed, and this tea ceremony was naturally integrated with the Buddha.

Moreover, tea and Buddha have a lot in common in many places, which is the so-called Zen tea Yiwei.

One of them is bitterness, tea bitterness, and in Buddhism, the first of the four noble truths, is also bitterness.

Tea is bitter and cold, the yin in the yin, the most able to reduce the fire, the fire is a hundred diseases, and the fire is clear. From the bitterness of tea to the sweetness, and the bitterness of sweetness, Buddhism can produce a variety of associations to help practitioners of Buddhism taste life and participate in the truth of suffering when tasting tea.

The second is quiet, the tea ceremony pays attention to peace and tranquility, and in Buddhism, the precepts, concentration, and wisdom are three studies, and the monks are also required to be quiet to understand Zen, Zen Buddhism can be said to come out of the quiet, sit quietly and think, is an important way for the Zen masters of the past generations to participate in the practice of Buddhism.

Therefore, tea that can refresh the mind and help the perception become the best friend of Zen practitioners.

The third is that the tea ceremony is nothing but water and tea, but people can realize a lot of truth from these ordinary products, which coincides with the Zen theory, which requires people to meditate and realize the road from ordinary things.

These two are the most well-known in the tea ceremony.

There are some other tea ceremonies that are not worth mentioning.

The only thing that can be said is the aristocratic tea ceremony, perhaps this kind of tea ceremony can no longer be called a tea ceremony, because it is a bit defiled. Stained the incorruptible character of tea.

Aristocrats, especially the royal nobles, like to drink tea, but these nobles are all in high positions and in power, which one really has the quality of tea.

Especially in order to provide tea for these royal nobles, how many tea farmers even died of exhaustion for the tribute tea.

The poem says:

Day and night work without rest, men waste farming, women do not weave.

The white bones in the fields are not cared for, and the temples laugh and talk about tea.

After talking about the meaning of this aristocratic tea, Yan Shao sighed and took a sip of tea lightly.

Nan Xun's gaze at Yan Shao has changed a lot, these three kinds of tea ceremonies are enough to show that this Jiangbei Qian Zhuang Yan Shao is not a simple person, how can a person who can have such an opinion be ordinary.

Even Brother Ba was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and finally sighed and said, "The Central Plains is really a place where talents gather, and this tea ceremony has developed so well in the Central Plains." ”

"Oh," Yan Shao said, "what's the matter, in Miaojiang, isn't there any tea ceremony!?" ”

"Hey, the tea ceremony that we people talk about is a bit trivial compared to that of the Central Plains, so don't say it, don't say it." Big Brother Ba was a little embarrassed, waved his hand, and didn't want to talk about Miao Jiang's tea ceremony.

Yan Shao said: "Let's talk about it, after all, different terroirs raise different people, and the tea ceremony, in Miaojiang, must also have a different style from the Central Plains." ”

At this time, Nan Xun also became interested in the tea ceremony, which he had never heard before, so he said, "Yes, Brother Ba, tell me!" (To be continued.) )
