Chapter 347: Yellowstone Tea Tray
Seeing Yifan kneeling, Yan Shan also hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and advised: "There is no need for this, hurry up." ”
Yifan sincerely thanked him: "The kindness of Yanshan seniors and Mu Lin's predecessors, Yifan is toothless and unforgettable, if there is a place where I can be used in the future, I will never shirk it!"
Seeing Yifan's appearance, Mu Lin also comforted: "It's okay, you get up first, whether you can get the client's information or not depends on what our captain means, and the two of us don't count." However, we will try our best to say good things for you, and we can't be sure of Yao Feng's meaning. ”
Yifan nodded heavily, and said: "No matter what you ask, as long as Yifan can do it, even if you want me to return it with my life, I will not give up, if you dare to say a word, the sky will thunder, and there will be no corpse!"
Hearing Yifan's wish, Sikong Yao's heart also trembled, but he didn't expect that Bai Xia Yifan would be willing to do this part, this friendship has surpassed ordinary friendship. Being able to make such a friend has no regrets in my life.
Iwayama also smiled with some emotion: "Now I finally understand."
Mu Lin didn't know what Yanshan was talking about, so she asked puzzledly, "What do you understand?"
And Iwayama laughed heartily and said, "Haha, Mu Lin, don't you understand?" Why would the client choose Yifan to be his bodyguard, obviously a mercenary who is better than his martial arts, although there are not many in the Falling Star Pavilion, it is not bleak. But if you want to talk about the people who can do their best to save their lives, there is no one in the Dreadfall Star Pavilion, not even me. It will definitely not come to this point. Boy, you have a very good appetite for me, don't worry, I will try my best to persuade Yao Feng's kid for you. ”
Mu Lin looked at Yifan, and the perseverance in his eyes could also make Mu Lin understand a little, why the pavilion master was willing to leave the first opportunity to fight with those people to Yifan, which was not unreasonable.
Immediately, Mu Lin also nodded and said, "Anyway, you get up first, Yao Feng's side." We'll do our best to intercede for you. ”
Yifan no longer shirks. He also stood up, but still said respectfully: "Thank you Senior Mulin!"
Mu Lin motioned to Yifan without being polite and said, "It's okay, you have earned all this yourself." We didn't help you much. ”
Iwayama also smiled: "Come on." Sit down first. I'll go get some excellent tea, let's take a rest and wait for Yao Feng to return. ”
The four of them found a wooden table and fell around it. Then what attracted Sikong Yao's attention was the tea tray on the table, carved from a whole boulder, on the yellow lines, it was clearly visible that a coiled dragon nested on the mountain, and the drainage road was like a spring, which made people can't help but praise.
Although he doesn't know much about tea culture, Sikong Yao also smiled: "This tea tray is so exquisite!"
Iwayama nodded, and every time someone praised this tea tray, he was extra excited, as if he was a tea master. Iwayama smiled heartily, "How's it going, it's beautiful, isn't it?"
Sikong Yao nodded, even in Minghe Restaurant, he had seen tea trays used to entertain guests, but it was probably a meaning and convenience, although the cost was also quite good, and the materials were also good, but like the workmanship of this Yellowstone Longpan, he still saw it for the first time.
Sikong Yao couldn't help but boast: "I've seen someone brewing tea at home, but I've never seen such a delicate thing, it's really beautiful."
Sikong Yao gently pushed back with his hand, and found that the tea tray was extremely heavy, although he tried his best, he couldn't push it, and the Huangshi tea tray that didn't move at all was sitting on the coffee table with the right color, which was extremely commensurate.
The so-called tea tray is used to hold teacups, with a wide range of materials and styles, such as full moon shape, checkerboard shape and so on. But no matter what material and style, the most important thing is also the four-character formula: wide, flat, light, white. That is, the plate should be wide, so that you can put a few more cups depending on the number of guests; The bottom of the plate should be flat, so as not to make the teacup unstable and easy to shake; The sides should be light and the color should be white, which is all to set off the teacup and teapot and make it elegant.
The tea tray, also known as the tea boat, is a shallow-bottomed vessel that holds teapots, teacups, tea ceremony groups, tea pets and even tea food; It can be very large or small, and the shape can be round or fan-shaped; It can be a single layer or a mezzanine, and the mezzanine is used to hold wastewater, which can be drawer type or embedded; The single layer is connected by a plastic pipe to discharge the waste water on the plate, but a bucket is still needed under the tea table. Tea trays are widely selected, such as gold, wood, bamboo, and pottery. The metal tea tray is the most simple and durable, and the bamboo tea tray is the most elegant and suitable. In addition, there are tea trays made of sandalwood and mahogany, such as ebony, ebony, etc.
Metal tea tray is the most practical, if not maliciously damaged by external forces, it will never crack, and the price is cheap, so it is widely used. The stainless steel tea tray has not been cleaned for a long time and covered with tea scale, and it can be bright as new after a little wiping, but this Western light is very much a feeling of some imported products, not as good as other materials to see the taste of tea rhyme, but in Anxi, Fujian, the tea merchants who operate Tieguanyin are more happy with this thing, every family must have it, and the bright and shiny lines are lined up, which is quite spectacular.
But on top of these, the tea tray carved out of stone is even more superior. Special stone such as jade, Duan inkstone, Shoushan stone, and purple sand made of tea tray is simple and heavy, with a unique charm, but its hardness and purple sand pot, porcelain cup is close, you need to be careful when using, it is best to have a pot cushion coaster to support each other, so as not to crack. The tea tray made of bamboo and wood is natural and elegant, and the processing level is improving year by year, and it has always been respected by Chinese literati for its quiet, humble, straight and disciplined bamboo. The main material of the tea tray is to advocate nature, to express the meaning of the tea ceremony to take nature, and the unity of nature and man. However, those tea trays made of industrial materials, resin materials and imitation mahogany appearance, with overly complex shapes, are placed on the tea table to dominate, not only can not be used as a background for peace and tranquility, but also lose the elegant taste of tea.
The tea tray is the most well-cultivated and measured Mr. in the tea set, and he is willing to play a supporting role for life, but this supporting role is indispensable, with the tea tray, the pot, the cup, the fairness, etc., it is good to deduce a good show about tea culture, even if it is a selfless tea party in the suburbs or parks, at least one tea towel is needed to replace the role of the tea tray, it seems that the tea tray can be placed in the complexity and triviality of a cool and broad world. Ten pots are placed together, and there is no tea tray placed there to have a more tea-drinking atmosphere, the former will only feel messy, and the latter will have the rectification of the situation. It is true that when encountering a situation of simplicity, such as being detained in a different place, in the jungle of the plains, sitting on the ground, there are only pots and cups, and the placement of the pots and cups must follow their original positions on the tea tray.
Therefore, there is a saying for the charm of tea, such as the taste of life. It can be seen how deep the tea culture is in people's understanding.
Seeing that Sikong Yao seemed to be a person who knew tea, Yan Shan also laughed happily and explained: "Haha, this Huangshi Dragon Pan, but I selected a good A-grade treasure Huanglong jade, this jade itself is extremely condensed, the original weight of nearly three tons, spent a lot of money to ask Elder Xiao to carve it, for three days and three nights, and the remaining one ton is two thousand taels."
The jade tea tray is unique, its lines and lines are natural and vivid, the styles are varied, or beautiful and generous, or noble and elegant, flowing water, and it is an ideal item for the tea ceremony.
And Huanglong jade is one of the more noble ores. The beauty of diamonds lies in its hardness, clarity and brightness, the beauty of colored gemstones lies in its showiness and diversity, and the beauty of jade lies in its delicateness, warmth and subtle elegance.
There are five virtues in the saying: benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity.
The ancients believed that jade was the embodiment of glory and happiness, a symbol of fortitude and benevolence.
She is good-looking and colorful. According to the ancient book "Shuowen", the so-called jade is "the beauty of stone". The color of jade is grass green, green onion, dark green, gray white, milky white, and the tone is deep and soft, forming a unique warm and smooth color.
Huanglong jade has the effect of preventing demons and avoiding evil, her toughness is strong, she can withstand the blow of the hammer, and even the diamond cannot be compared. The layers are distinct, the feel is delicate and soft, the color is natural and harmonious, the density is good, the acid and alkali resistance, the hardness is moderate, the carving performance is good, the form is diverse, each has its own characteristics and contains a variety of trace elements that promote human health. The natural formation of the layers and patterns of the purple robe jade belt stone, the use of folk traditional hand-carved technology, carved a variety of empty carvings, vertical carvings, reliefs, thousands of postures, lifelike, placed in the lobby of the room, elegant and luxurious, has a very high ornamental, practical and collection value.
Sikong Yao couldn't help but praise: "It turned out to be Huanglong jade, this kind of jade is known for its large volume and heavy mass, the larger the quality, the higher the price, so it has always been a headache for skilled craftsmen.
Yanshan couldn't help but smack his mouth, but he didn't expect that this Sikong Yao was also a person who knew tea, and he also had a lot of research on jade, and said: "Tsk, the little girl has a good knowledge, it seems that she has met an expert today." But I don't understand this tea ceremony, it's just that this tea tray is my favorite, if you understand, it's up to you to make it, okay? ”
Mu Lin scolded Yanshan, he shouldn't be so rude in front of the guests, and said angrily: "Yanshan, how can you let the guests do these things!"
Sikong Yao smiled indifferently: "Haha, it's okay, just let me come."
Sikong Yao happily took the tea pot in Yanshan's hand, and then took the tea leaves together, and said with a smile: "Making tea is a combination of tea and beauty, tea is not only a taste of tea, but also smelling the fragrance is to appreciate the buds and leaves, carefully retain the original taste of tea, and stimulate the taste of tea, which is an art."
