As the saying goes, it's fun to have friends from afar!

When Old Man Kong pushed the door in, the old friends in the room also stood up with smiles to express their welcome. But immediately, the smile froze on the faces of the three old men, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all of them showed surprised looks.

"Hello to the three old men, the boy's surname is Liu, and today I came out with Mr. Kong to see the world."

Liu Yuhao smiled faintly, and arched his hand towards everyone without being humble or arrogant.

In Liu Yuhao's mind, it was very likely that this embarrassing scene was caused because his appearance made everyone feel a little abrupt, otherwise, the three old men in front of him would never have shown such rude surprise.

The old ** who is older likes people and things that "talk about the rules".

Liu Yuhao also knows that in the eyes of these old people, they usually do not welcome "outsiders" at such a particularly private small-scale gathering as today.

But the truth was not as Liu Yuhao imagined, and no one paid attention to Liu Yuhao's appearance.

The old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who spoke first stretched his neck and glanced behind Old Man Kong, then reached out to hold the frame of his glasses, frowned slightly, and said, "Old Kong, where is the mage you invited?" ”

Old Man Kong laughed, beckoned to Liu Yuhao, and said, "You don't care about them, whoever comes to them is like this, and no one cares about it the first time I come." ”

Liu Yuhao smiled, knowing that Old Man Kong was telling the truth, and he was not polite, so he sat down under him according to Old Kong's arrangement.

After cleaning his hands with a towel, Old Man Kong smiled again and said, "Master Azan doesn't look down on us laymen, I chatted with this kid for a day yesterday, and left without saying hello." ”

"Ahh Let's go? ”

An old man sitting opposite Liu Yuhao was stunned when he heard that Master Azan had left, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Xiao Xu, you don't believe in Buddhism, why do you react so much?"

Old Man Kong was also curious when he saw the old man's look of pity, so he asked.

This Xiao Xu may not be too unworthy of the name!

Looking at the old man who was about seventy years old, Liu Yuhao almost didn't hold back his internal injuries, and finally resisted the urge to laugh and twist his head to the side, and carefully looked at the furnishings in the room.

didn't look at it, just glanced at it, and Liu Yuhao was already stunned.

I'm going to go!

Liu Yuhao gasped and exclaimed, "Kong, old man Kong, that's Yiwu Tongxing old tea!" ”

Several old people were deeply sorry for Master Azan's sudden farewell, and suddenly heard Liu Yuhao say such a sentence, and immediately looked over with a stunned face.

"Young man, do you know the old tea of Yiwu Tongxing?"

Xu Lao, who was known as Xiao Xu, narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Yuhao carefully for a long time before he slowly asked, and the look on his face was also very puzzled.

Yiwu is an ancient town, in the northwest of Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, about 110 kilometers away from Mengla County.

Yiwu Tea Mountain is the first of the six tea mountains, which has a history of more than 1,700 years of tea planting, and at the same time, Yiwu is also an ancient tea horse town, which has the reputation of the hometown of tribute tea more than 1,000 years ago.

The Tongxing mentioned by Liu Yuhao is the earliest tea house founded by Yiwushan and one of the four major families in Pu'er Jianghu.

Tongxing was founded in the tenth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible to know who the founder is today.

What later generations know is that on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the leader of this tea house is still unshakable, and if it were not for the aggressor's hand, it is certain that the life of the Tongxing will not be a problem to this day.

In the eyes of many people, everyone thinks that only Da Hong Pao, which is picked from the authentic mother tree, is the most expensive tea in China.

Not really!

As far as Liu Yuhao knows, if only a piece of century-old top-grade Tongxing tea is placed in China, it will be at least between 10 and 150,000 yuan, so calculated, Yiwu Tongxing's old tea is not known to be many times more expensive than Da Hong Pao.

Moreover, even so, the old tea of Yiwu Tongxing is not something that can be bought by anyone as long as they have money, and it depends on the individual's fate and comprehensive status.

This is also easy to explain why Liu Yuhao was so out of shape that he screamed in shock just now.

On the table opposite Xu Lao, there was an old tea with two taels of Yiwu Tongxing, how could Liu Yuhao continue to remain calm after reading it?

Old Man Qi has been fond of tea all his life, so Liu Yuhao can blurt out his origin at a glance, but whether what he said is right or wrong, in the face of Xu Lao's question, he is a little afraid to guarantee it.

"Sir, I've only heard of this tea from the teacher, but it's the first time I've actually seen the real thing."

Liu Yuhao replied with a smile.

Don't say that it is the old man of Qi, even if the old man is respected by the old man with his current status, he is afraid that he will not be able to find the old tea of the two taels of Yiwu Tongxing, so Liu Yuhao's answer is very sincere.

Xu Lao nodded slightly and said, "Young man, although I don't know who your teacher is, I must be a master of the tea ceremony." ”

Tea drinkers don't necessarily love tea, and tea lovers don't know everything about tea.

But if you can tell the story of Yiwu Tongxing old tea to students, and the students you teach can also distinguish the old tea you have never seen at a glance, this kind of teacher must be a knowledgeable person and a master of tea ceremony.

Perhaps because of his love for the house and Wu's intentions, Xu Lao's attitude towards Liu Yuhao at the moment is much kinder than before.

"The predecessors have won the award, the tea culture is broad and profound, although there are many people who love tea and love tea, but there are few people who are as good as the predecessors of tea and utensils."

Liu Yuhao showed a humble smile on his face, but his eyes kept patrolling back and forth on the purple clay pot in front of Xu Lao and the others, and he did not hide the envy in his heart at all.

The purple clay pot used by the three old men actually surprised Liu Yuhao deeply.

Speaking of Xu Lao alone, what he used was a black and purple mud round Fujing fence.

The whole vessel is like a traditional well fence that has been flattened, the shape of the vessel is short, and it has its own unique place, the body is narrow and wide at the bottom, and the middle is slightly concave, but it appears to be curved.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Lao's round Fujing railing circle hides the square in the circle, which forms a strong contrast with the body of the pot, but does not lose the sense of beauty, the whole pot mud is warm and harmonious, and the body of the pot is like a star in the sky.

Although there was no urging ability to identify the pot, Liu Yuhao had already keenly felt that Xu Lao's purple clay pot was definitely a rare artifact.

"Old Kong, this little friend and I have a very good appetite, why haven't I heard you mention that there is such a friend before."

Old Xu nodded at Liu Yuhao with appreciation, but the words were said to Old Man Kong.

Old Man Kong was in a very good mood, a little deliberately bad, and smiled at Liu Yuhao, but he didn't explain at all, but said: "You guys bully me all day long and don't understand pots, today I will bring an expert at playing pots, how about it?" Raise your eyes! ”

After speaking, Old Man Kong himself laughed first.

Liu Yuhao suddenly sweated profusely, with a wry smile on his face, and said in his heart: "As soon as you look at the utensils, you know that these people are all ancestors of playing purple clay pots, old man, you are putting me on the fire and roasting it!" ”

It may be that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Before Liu Yuhao could explain, an old man who had never spoken suddenly smiled and said, "Young man, since we are here, we are destined, why don't you help me with this pot?" ”

"This is Master Ge."

Old Man Kong interjected on the side and gave a rough introduction, but did not mention what Master Ge's identity was.

This time I was forced to Liangshan!

Liu Yuhao shook his head with a smile and said: "Master Ge, you are too polite, you really dare not take it seriously, there is no fixed standard for the appreciation of purple clay pots, this is a matter of the benevolent and the wise, especially the old object in your hand, the kid will not dare to talk nonsense." ”

Having said that, but Liu Yuhao's eyes stayed on the purple clay pot in front of Master Ge, if he really couldn't dodge, he couldn't say that Liu Yuhao had no choice but to urge the ability, and then pretend to be an "insider" in front of the "expert".

As the saying goes, "the lover's heart is out of the west", everyone's favorite standards are different, and the standards of appreciation are also different.

Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, maybe a pot that you think is a special treasure is not necessarily the best in the eyes of others, Liu Yuhao knows that there is no specific evaluation system for the identification of purple clay pots.

Sure enough, Master Ge did not give up, waved his hand and smiled: "The two of us can be regarded as having eyes, even if you say it, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong!" ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were shifted to themselves, Liu Yuhao knew that if he blindly avoided it again, he would be inferior, so he had to laugh and say: "That kid is presumptuous!" ”

Master Ge smiled slightly, moved the pot in front of him a little forward, and said, "Please!" ”

The purple clay pot is a very private object, and without the permission of the owner, no one will easily touch it directly, even if it is licensed, but it is necessary to pay attention to the appropriate method.

Liu Yuhao looked at the old man with an inquiring gaze again, and only after receiving an affirmative nod did he put on his white gloves, carefully picked up Master Ge's purple clay pot and pretended to look at it.

The first function of the purple clay pot is to use, so it must be used smoothly first, so the pot that has never been used before, even if you look at it seriously, you can't tell why.

Liu Yuhao gently picked up the handle with his hand, first pressed the lid with one finger to see if it was comfortable according to his habit, and then tried to see if the other fingers would not touch the body of the pot.

Don't look at Liu Yuhao as just a small action, but he immediately won the appreciative eyes of Master Ge.

If Liu Yuhao doesn't do that, it is impossible for him to know whether the purple clay pot will be unable to hold the pot because of the hot hand, and it is impossible for people without experience in connoisseurship of purple clay pots to make such a professional move in the first step.

"What a pot! Good pot! ”

After appreciating it, Liu Yuhao secretly urged the ability to screen Master Ge's purple clay pot in a short time, and put down the pot and couldn't help but admire.
