Chapter 282: On Tea
"Hehe, this kid has a good eye."
The man who spoke was a man who was over the age of old, with silver hair, and looked very rich, when he was just introduced, Boss Jiang said that this person's surname was Qin, and he was a famous old player in the Tianjing antique market.
"It's just a few chairs, what's the big deal." Li Kun muttered quietly, quite disappreciative of Xiao Qiang's actions, in his opinion, these were just a few chairs.
"Hehe, these chairs are Xiao Jiang's heart, let alone sitting on them, it will make him feel distressed for a long time when he looks at them. These are all good pear blossom trees, and they are still years old, at least worth hundreds of thousands. Besides, the sandalwood in this room is not an ordinary thing, it is specially asked by Xiao Jiang, also called Changmingxiang, which must be lit all year round and cannot be extinguished. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Qin didn't pay attention to the priceless antiques in Li Kun's eyes, but walked to the chair and gently rubbed the inconspicuous things in the eyes of everyone like Xiao Qiang, and his affection was overflowing.
Xiao Qiang smiled, he didn't know that these tables and chairs were antiques, but his divine sense felt that there was a rich aura in these woods, and he originally thought that this was a treasure, but now it seems that it is also because of the age.
Xiao Qiang nodded slightly, his divine sense was released, and he quickly entered the pear blossom wood chair, exploring the aura inside. At the moment when his divine consciousness entered, Xiao Qiang could even feel that his divine consciousness had actually absorbed some of the spiritual creation qi in this pear blossom tree. That aura was very weak, and even Xiao Qiang wouldn't have noticed it at all if he hadn't had a particularly keen divine aura, but Xiao Qiang could clearly feel that his divine sense had suddenly strengthened a lot after receiving this aura. Even the spirit lost when fighting with Du Xiuchun and others has recovered a lot.
With this discovery, Xiao Qiang didn't care about other people's eyes, pretended to be very interested in these chairs, and stroked them one by one, naturally absorbing all the aura inside.
As for after absorbing it yourself. Whether this chair is still so important, Xiao Qiang doesn't care.
"Old Qin, just make fun of me." Boss Jiang's face flashed with a touch of self-satisfaction, he was not very excited about Old Man Qin's praise, but said very reservedly: "This chair is also said to be a treasure, I heard that it was circulated from a certain cultivator's cave mansion. ”
Xiao Qiang's heart moved, no wonder there was such a rich aura in it, it seemed that it was really related to cultivators.
At this time, Boss Jiang had already smiled and said to Old Man Qin: "Old man, don't joke with me, you have to talk about baby." You have a lot more in your house than I do, or you keep taking out some of those treasures to open our eyes? ”
As he spoke, he smiled and said to Xiao Qiang: "Brother Xiao, you are also interested in this." ”
Xiao Qiang laughed and shook his head slightly: "I just think it's beautiful, this thing is really worth hundreds of thousands?" ”
He naturally did it on purpose, after all, Xiao Qiang didn't want to be too high-profile in front of others, he was in Tianjing to hide it with Feng Susu, although this was hidden in the city. But it doesn't hurt to keep a low profile.
The old man laughed, it was just some chairs. This thing depends on how much it is worth in the eyes of whom. Boss Jiang smiled and said to Xiao Qiang, although he didn't know whether Xiao Qiang's words were true or not, but as soon as this young man entered the door, he directly ignored those antiques, but was interested in the most valuable chairs in his room, which always made Boss Jiang feel a little unfathomable.
"That's right. Antiques are something that depends on who looks at them. Some people may think that it is worthless, but some people may think that this thing is worth a fortune. ”
"Yes, turnip and cabbage, each has his own love."
Everyone laughed. After all, they are all veterans in the antique world, except for Tong Xiaoxue and Li Yuan, everyone has been going back and forth on this antique street more than once.
"Please be seated." Boss Jiang said to Xiao Qiang and the others, there are six people in total, except for Li Yuan, who is not interested in antiques and goes to the sofa to watch TV, the rest of the people, including Boss Jiang, happen to sit around the square table.
After everyone was seated, Boss Jiang beckoned outside, and a person who looked like a manager walked in, and Boss Jiang nodded at her: "You can start." ”
The manager walked out, and soon two women of the best choice walked in, wearing well-fitting cheongsams, one holding a set of tea sets on the table, and the other holding a small stove in his hand, placed on a wooden pier next to the table.
Xiao Qiang glanced at it and nodded slightly, he also had a study of the tea ceremony, so he naturally knew the rules of cooking tea.
The furnace was long, but not very high, only seven or eight inches in size, and there was a charcoal fire burning in it, making a little sound.
"It's so exquisite. Isn't it just a sip of tea, so troublesome. ”
Li Kun's voice sounded in Xiao Qiang's ears, and he found that this guy can always make a sound that makes people cry and laugh just right, at least Xiao Qiang clearly saw Tong Xiaoxue's eyebrows frowning slightly, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied with this guy who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.
But in Xiao Qiang's opinion, this tea set is indeed very particular, the whole teapot has its own fist size, the appearance is millet color, and there are six teacups around it, which looks like a handicraft.
"Today, I'm ugly in front of you, I usually don't pay so much attention to tea." As if he hadn't heard what Li Kun had just said, Boss Jiang smiled at everyone with an unchanged face and said, "I'm a rough person, I usually pour it directly, let's enjoy it in front of you today." ”
With that, he nodded at the waiters standing nearby, signaling that they could begin.
The so-called tea tasting treasure, before seeing the baby, it is natural to taste a good tea, as for the meaning of this, it is only clear in the hearts of everyone here. It's just that except for Tong Xiaoxue, the other people are all old fritters, and they will definitely not be in a hurry to say anything, let alone Xiao Qiang, as an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, except for the monk's treasure, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be interested in anything.
"It's called Kung Fu Tea, and it came from the south." Boss Jiang introduced while watching his subordinates make tea.
The stove may have been boiling very quickly, perhaps because of its relatively small relationship, and in an instant, the water was already boiling, making a gurgling sound, and this kind of water boiling was particularly interesting, and kept pressing against the lid on the stove.
The water is boiling and naturally about to make tea, only to see a waiter pick up the kettle, and another put a kettle on it, the previous person said to everyone with a smile on his face: "Several are our boss's distinguished guests, this water is a mountain spring, specially used to make tea, the so-called living water to boil tea is so." ”
Xiao Qiang nodded lightly, judging from the other party's solemnity, this tea is probably not so simple.
Sure enough, Old Man Qin had already looked at the tea leaves that were brought to him by the waiter with some surprise, and asked in surprise: "Xiao Jiang, you won't be the best red robe, right?" ”
Boss Jiang smiled: "You're right, I paid a lot of money to get this." ”
Old Man Qin's face changed, and he nodded solemnly: "It's not easy, you can get this tea, it must have taken a lot of thought, and the old man has a good mouth today." ”
At this time, I saw that the waiter reached out and picked up the kettle, and began to pour the kettle with the boiling water.
"Why is that?"
Xiao Qiang frowned, and asked a little strangely, he really didn't understand this, so he asked.
Boss Jiang smiled and explained to Xiao Qiang: "This is to heat the teapot, which is called a warm pot in the jargon." ”
Xiao Qiang nodded, just ask if he doesn't understand, but he won't delve into it, after all, this is someone's unique job, some things are good to look at the excitement, there is no need to be too serious.
At the end of the process, the waiter puts the tea leaves into the teapot, then fills the pot with water and waits until the water reaches the spout. The woman then stretched out her fingers to scrape the foam off the spout before closing the lid, and her movements were particularly graceful throughout.
"Does the pot serve any other purpose?"
Xiao Qiang's nose suddenly smelled a smell, and blurted out a smell.
Boss Jiang laughed: "Little brother smelled it? ”
Xiao Qiang nodded slightly, at this time he had already smelled the smell of tea, it seems that this tea ceremony is really a little interesting.
"You can drink it now, right?" At this time, Li Kun suddenly spoke.
Unexpectedly, the waiter shook his head slightly, but poured out the tea that had been brewed for the first time, and the tea was wantonly exuding aroma, which made people feel a little distressed.
"Why dump it?" Li Jun asked puzzledly, in his opinion, this tea is already ready to drink.
The waiter didn't seem to be very willing to answer this ignorant question, so he simply ignored him, and Boss Jiang saw that Li Kun's face was a little unhappy, and he sighed and said, "This is washing tea, the purpose is to wash off the dust on the surface of the tea." ”
Li Kun rolled his eyes, obviously a little dismissive of this statement.
Xiao Qiang smiled and didn't speak, it was not that he had never met a monk who loved tea in his previous life, but at that time, drinking tea was not as troublesome as it is now, and there were so many steps and exquisiteness.
Finally, when the waiter finished brewing the second cup of tea, she carried the teapot in one hand and poured tea into everyone's teacups one by one.
"Why is that?" Someone asked in surprise.
Boss Jiang smiled and glanced at Xiao Qiang, who wanted to speak and stopped, obviously waiting for him to speak.
Xiao Qiang shook his head: "I remember that if it's correct, it should be called Han Xin's soldiers, right?" The purpose is to make the tea soup thick and light consistent, and if you do this, the aroma will not be lost. ”
This is what he heard from Mingzhu, as if Zhao Wenqi had told him. (To be continued......)
