Chapter 442: Tasting Incense
Hearing that Zheng Shusen asked Li Yi to buy wine, Qingqing's eyes faintly revealed a kind of longing, but Lin Lele smiled and waved his hand.
"Hehe, that wine is too expensive, many times, even true wine lovers won't buy it, and we, drinking red wine, and even eating Western food, are just vassal elegance, so don't be the wrongdoer."
Hearing that Lin Lele actually objected to buying wine, Li Yi blinked, and Zheng Shusen proudly kicked him under the table, last time I was determined by you, which made me so faceless, now it's okay, look, he has said it to this extent, but people still take the initiative to refuse, have you ever seen such a wine trust?
"Why wouldn't even true wine lovers buy it? And to whom will this wine be sold? ”
Qingqing was a little curious.
"To answer your question, we first need to figure out what a true wine lover is."
Lin Lele's voice is very gentle, and what she says is also very attractive.
"A true lover of wine must appreciate all good wines, but loving wine does not mean that he only loves wine. Because of the complexity of the tannins, there are some subtle differences in the taste of each red wine, and this difference is like a beautiful woman with different styles or a woman with different tastes, but not so beautiful. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Lele's tone was stunned, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Li Yi and Zheng Shusen,
"Men like beautiful women, let him change his tricks and sleep with different beautiful women every day, I think, most men will raise their hands and feet and cheer in favor. But...... If you were really asked to choose someone you would like to spend your life with, then I think. There are many people who will choose women who are not so beautiful, but who are very suitable for him. ”
Seeing Zheng Shusen's obvious unconvinced look, Lin Lele shook his head.
"It's like Moutai and Wuliangye, everyone is recognized as good wine, but some people just can't get used to drinking it, he likes to drink Lao Baigan, so it's just a matter of taste, and it doesn't have much to do with good or bad wine."
Qingqing blinked her big eyes and kicked Li Yi gently.
"Hey, do you understand?"
Li Yi nodded and shook his head again.
"I don't seem to understand, Lele should want to say that Luo Chuan and green vegetables have their own loves, but whether they like radish. I still like greens. In fact, they are all wine lovers. ”
Qingqing's delicate little mouth,
"I don't know what you're talking about, anyway, if I have the chance, I must taste what that 198888 Supreme tastes like!"
Li Yi smiled slightly, and did not pick up, and directly changed the topic,
"What kind of work is Lele doing, I think you seem to have studied a lot of things......
A few more people chatted. Soon, the set meal came up. Wine, vegetables, staple foods, soups, and fruits are all very complete and exquisite, which makes people feel the urge to have a great appetite when they see it.
Knowing that the reason why this restaurant is expensive is because of the wine, Li Yi deliberately picked up the glass of red wine and tasted it, and then frowned slightly, this wine, it seems that it will be divided into 200 yuan a cup, right? But this taste......
"Hehe, this wine, that is, the most common kind of Lafite that costs less than 2,000 yuan a bottle, is just famous, but the taste is not necessarily suitable for everyone."
Lin Lele had been paying attention to Li Yi's expression, so when he saw his expression after tasting the wine, he explained with a smile.
Li Yi nodded, said hello, picked up the cutlery, and began to deal with the steak that looked tender and delicious.
"This store is very fun, it is said to be a Western restaurant, but it follows the rules of Chinese food, and everything is served at one time, although it is a bit nondescript, but it is actually more suitable for the style of Chinese people......
Lin Lele explained while eating, always holding the initiative at the table.
And at this time, Li Yi can basically already judge that this woman is definitely not a wine trust, at least, not a wine trust in the ordinary sense, because even if her ultimate goal is still to cheat, but her level is better than those red. Naked girls with clear goals are countless times taller, so it is too normal for people like Zheng Shusen to be unclear about the situation, and even willing to send them to the door to be slaughtered again and again.
Soon, a few people had lunch, Lin Lele took a sip of the large glass of juice presented by the restaurant, and said with a smile:
"We're going to a very special place in the afternoon, I wonder if you two are interested?"
"Interested, of course interested!"
After this meal, Zheng Shusen had completely crossed Lin Lele from the list of liars, and replaced him with a fiery red heart of a fair lady and gentleman, so when he heard her proposal, he didn't even ask where to go, and directly raised his hands and feet in favor.
Lin Lele smiled and turned his beautiful eyes to Li Yi,
"We're going to the incense hall to taste incense, if you feel bored, you can also go, we'll make an appointment next time."
Incense hall? Li Yi's heart moved and nodded.
"I just haven't been to any incense hall before, since I have the opportunity, let's go and see it together."
The location of the incense hall that Lin Lele said was relatively remote, and Li Yi drove for more than an hour before arriving at the place.
This is an elegant courtyard located near the Sixth Ring Road in the northwest, although it is not big, but the building is very exquisite, especially the yellow and green antique glazed tiles on the slope roof of the tiled house made of blue-gray bricks, so that this small courtyard looks like an antique taste.
The small courtyard is nameless, but there are several luxury cars parked at the gate of the courtyard, and the price is several times that of Li Yi's X5.
Lin Lele first pushed open the hidden wooden door of the small courtyard and walked into the courtyard with Li Yi and a few others.
"Wow, it smells so good."
"Well, the theme of today's incense tasting is agarwood, and later, there will be an authentic incense performance."
Lin Lele led the way in front and introduced,
"Actually, it's best to taste the fragrance in the evening, but I don't have time tonight, and I don't want to miss this theme, so I just chose to come in the afternoon."
"Sister Lele, are you here? The room is ready, come with me. ”
They were greeted by a girl wearing a long costume dress, who seemed to be very familiar with Lin Lele, she led a few people into an antique room with an antique layout, about twenty or thirty square meters, arranged for a few people to sit, and walked over and opened the antique windows on the wall.
"Knowing that you were coming, we turned on the air conditioner an hour earlier, and at this temperature, it is just right to open the window."
The girl explained a few words, then turned around and went out to prepare tea.
"Incense is a very ancient culture, and many measures are exquisite, such as the choice of location, the matching of furniture, and even the seating of each guest, the presentation of tea, these have fixed procedures, I am also interested, and I will come to play when I am free, so you don't have to be restrained, we don't talk about the rules."
Lin Lele saw Zheng Shusen looking around curiously, so he smiled and said a few words, and soon, just now, the girl led two young girls in the same ancient costume and walked in.
Tea was served first, and then the two girls behind her each brought a tray and placed it on the coffee table in front of several people.
"This is the incense burner, the incense box, the incense bottle, we call it the three things of the stove bottle, this is the incense spoon, the incense clip, the ash press, the incense tuo, the top flower, the incense shovel, ......"
Every time the girl took something, she gave a brief introduction to everyone, and when everything was ready, the girl smiled lightly,
"I'll give you incense sticks today."
Playing incense seals? Isn't it a taste? What is the incense seal?
Zheng Shusen was confused, but Li Yi knew that "seal" is the shape of incense, and "beating" is the process of making incense.
The girl first took the flat white porcelain incense burner, opened the lid with many ventilation holes, and then took the incense ash and poured it into the incense burner, and pressed it carefully and neatly with ash.
Then, she picked up the incense tuo she had just introduced and put it on top of the flat incense ash, and then picked up the incense spoon and filled the agarwood powder into the middle of the "Fu" shaped seal of Xiangtuo one by one.
"This step is particularly critical, we should pay attention to the strength when we use the incense shovel to press and flat, and the amount of incense powder in the incense mold groove must be moderate, otherwise when the incense is burned later, there will be different speeds, different fragrances and so on......"
The girl explained to everyone while operating, as if she was teaching.
Soon, cleaning up the excess powder, the girl was ready for Titianto. She first gently tapped Xiangtuo a few times with an incense shovel, and then took Xiangtuo's handle and gently lifted the golden Xiangtuo, and in the incense burner, on the flat incense ash powder, left a complete "Fu" character seal incense powder mold.
"The next thing is to burn incense, and you must use a match to burn the incense, and preferably a pine ......"
As she spoke, the girl lit the incense mold with a thick match, which looked like a special one, and then gently fanned the flame with her hand, and after observing it, she closed the lid of the incense burner.
Soon, the cigarette floated out of the round hole in the lid, and it was faint and lingering in the air, and a rich and refreshing fragrance was also emanated.
"The procedure is not complicated, and it does not require a special environment, as long as you have the heart, you can do it anywhere. It's just that Pinxiang needs to be calm, and in this social environment now, many people are under a lot of pressure and are more irritable......"
Lin Lele explained softly while motioning for everyone to drink tea.
"Wow......"
Zheng Shusen shook his head, exclaimed lightly, and was about to express his feelings, when suddenly, an angry roar came from the next room:
"Lao Tzu Si Tian his ancestor! Fucking traitor! ”
