After Liu Yue left, Qin Lao looked up at Chen Yi, who was still standing in place, couldn't help but smile, pointed to the sofa where the middle-aged man was sitting opposite, and said, "Xiao Chen, don't just stand, it's not time to work yet, let's sit down and rest first, it just so happens that I have something I want to explain to you." ”

Chen Yi smiled slightly, nodded, and sat down at a distance from the middle-aged man.

"Xiao Chen, I don't know what you have to do with Mr. Yang, or how you entered the auction house through another relationship, but what you need to know is that as an apprentice, your task is to study hard, and what is left in my department can only be capable people, not like other departments, and there are some sycophants, so if I find out that you are very slack in your studies, even if Yang is always your relative, I will immediately send you to Mr. Yang, do you understand."

Looking at Chen Yi, the smile on Old Qin's face gradually disappeared, and he became solemn, explaining his rules to Chen Yi.

He was very annoyed by Yan Rongxuan's practice of throwing Chen Yi to himself, an inexperienced apprentice, this was simply dragging down their work efficiency, they had to teach apprentices while working.

Yan Rongxuan can just throw his hands and leave, but he can't, because he is different from Yan Rongxuan's kind of person who only wants to benefit, he also started as an apprentice, and he knows the difficulties of this business, and he will not refuse to give his juniors a chance, just to see if Chen Yi can grasp this opportunity.

"Old Qin, don't worry, I will study hard." Chen Yi nodded. Said very seriously. It took a lot of twists and turns. He just wants to be able to learn from these appraisers normally, how can he slack off.

Feeling that he might have said something harshly, Qin Lao's face softened a little, his hands moved on the tea table, and while making tea, he said to Chen Yi: "Xiao Chen, I want to learn this line of antique appraisal." It's tougher than other industries, because it's not like other industries, there are a lot of rules to follow, and every antique can be different, and although there is some knowledge that can be compared, you can't spot the difference without a certain eyesight. ”

"And sometimes, this so-called knowledge, compared to the real antique, may well be a little different. Since you have chosen this line, if you want to succeed. If you just want to make a living, then you should change your industry, identify this industry, and if you want to make a living, you don't have more than ten years of experience, and it's far from good. ”

"Here, let's have a cup of tea first." After brewing a bowl of tea, Qin Lao smiled, picked up the tea bowl and handed it to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi hurriedly got up and took the tea bowl handed over by Qin Lao with both hands, Qin Lao is not only his predecessor, but also an elder, the antique knowledge he has now can deal with some antique appraisals, but he can never identify the porcelain of various dynasties like Qin Lao.

If he is really allowed to identify, then another department should be opened, that is, the modern porcelain department, after all, almost all the antiques he is in contact with now are after the Ming Dynasty.

Identification is his foundation, and the identification information obtained through identification is very helpful to his learning, and the primary identification technique he has now can only identify antiques from 500 years ago, and he can only get more than 500 years of knowledge from books or Gao Cunzhi.

It has only been less than half a year since he learned appraisal, and the reason why Chen Yi's eyesight and knowledge have improved so quickly is because of the help of appraisal.

Looking at Chen Yi's action of receiving tea, Qin Lao nodded and smiled, this young man may not have much experience in antiques, but at least he knows how to be polite, this is the foundation of a person's moral quality, and it is also the most basic etiquette in the five thousand years of Chinese culture.

After Chen Yi took the tea bowl, he took a look first, since he learned to make tea, he also fell in love with making tea and tasting tea, for the top ten famous teas in China, it can be said that he is a little familiar, and Qin Lao brewed is Dongting Biluochun, which is among the top ten famous teas.

The Xinyang Maojian and Dongting Biluochun that Gao Cunzhi often drank belong to the same green tea variety, but the appearance and taste are very different.

In order to have a more in-depth understanding of Chinese tea culture, Chen Yike has a detailed understanding of the top ten famous teas, and from time to time he will go to the tea market to take a look.

Judging from the tea leaves placed on the tea table, the tea leaves in Qin Lao's reception room should be a first-class Biluochun, which is not particularly precious, but it also has the characteristics of excellent quality and moderate price.

And above the first level, it is the special level, the second level, the most precious of these two levels, the most significant feature of Biluochun tea, is that the leaves are curled into snails, which is the characteristic of any level, and it is also the origin of the name of Biluochun.

After reading it, Chen Yi smelled the aroma above his nose, couldn't help but smile, and then took three sips, drank all the tea, and looked at it, smelled it and tasted it three, which was exactly what he learned from Gao Cunzhi, and it was also something that identification techniques could not tell him.

Chen Yi tasted it carefully, nodded with a smile, and his previous judgment was about the same, this should be the first-class Dongting Biluochun, and Biluochun is available in many places, but the only authentic one is Dongting Biluochun, the kind of flower and fruit flavor it has is not found in other Biluochun, mainly because it grows in the fruit, and accepts the nourishment of Dongting's unique water and soil, and other Biluochun, all of them are just fertile soil and green leaf gas.

Looking at Chen Yi's actions of tasting tea, Qin Lao's eyes lit up, "Hey, Xiao Chen, do you also understand the tea ceremony." Chen Yi's movements are full of calm and free, without any artificiality, which can only be done by people who often make tea and taste tea.

"Yes, Qin Lao, an antique master I followed also likes to taste tea, so before I knew it, I also learned to make tea and taste tea." Chen Yi couldn't help but smile and said, Gao Cunzhi is his senior brother, and he is also the person he has been following and learning, it was from Gao Cunzhi that he learned to make tea, so as to obtain the art of making tea.

"Xiao Chen will not only taste tea, but also make tea, now young people like to drink all kinds of drinks, but they don't know that those things are harmful to the body, but not as good as our Chinese tea, can prolong life, Xiao Chen, since you can make tea, it is better to show it, let us appreciate it." Hearing Chen Yi's words that he could also make tea, Qin Lao couldn't help but say with some surprise, then stood up and motioned for Chen Yi to come to the tea table.

The middle-aged man on the side also looked at Chen Yi with some surprise, he thought that this young man was just a young man who was responsible for reception and cleaning in the antique shop, but now he underestimated him.

Chen Yi nodded, smiled lightly, stood up, confessed to Qin Lao, and then sat down at the tea table, picked up a utensil, and began to make tea.

After learning to make tea, he had to make a few cups almost every day, and while drinking tea, reading or painting, it can be said that his body and mind were soothed.

The process of making tea, he is naturally very skilled, first warm utensils, then tea, after putting the tea leaves into the bowl, first for the first brew, that is, for warm brewing, and then for the positive brewing, Gao Cunzhi taught him the phoenix three nods, he has been from the beginning of the strange, to the present is very skilled.

In the process of making tea, he naturally used the tea, in order to make the tea, the taste is more wonderful, this primary tea-making technique can be said to be a free tea grade improvement technique, with his current tea-making skills, the tea brewed out, at least than the taste of the tea itself, is a level higher.

If it was just surprise before, when Chen Yi skillfully used the Phoenix Three Directions to nod, Qin Lao's face showed a look of surprise, and then he couldn't help but look at the three bowls of tea.

I saw that the amount of water in the three bowls of tea brewed by Chen Yi could be said to be exactly the same, and when I watched it, a fragrance arose.

After brewing, Chen Yi covered the bowl, then waited quietly for a while, picked up the saucer with both hands, handed it to Qin Lao, and then handed another cup to the middle-aged man.

After the two of them took it one by one, the action of tasting tea can be said to be the same as Chen Yi's, one look, two smells and three products.

The tea in the bowl is green and yellow, which is exactly the appearance of pure natural Biluochun, if it is pure green, then it is the tea with added pigment.

There was a fragrance in the tea, which made people feel a little relaxed, and after that, Qin Lao divided it three times and drank the tea to the fullest, and he couldn't help but feel that this tea was rich and sweet, and the aftertaste was long, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Good tea." ”

"Old Qin, it is indeed good tea, the tea brewed by Chen Xiaoyou is a little different." The middle-aged man on the side nodded, a little unsatisfied.

And Chen Yi, picked up his cup, tasted it a little, and couldn't help nodding and smiling, the taste of the tea was slightly better than Qin Lao's just now.

"Chen Xiaoyou, you are so skilled in making tea, did you really just have an apprentice in an antique shop before?" Looking at Chen Yi, Qin Lao asked in a calm tone with a look of appreciation on his face.

Chen Yi nodded, "Old Qin, I did only work as an apprentice in the antique shop for a period of time before, but the owner of the antique shop was very good to me, seeing that I was interested in making tea, he also gave me a set of tea sets, so I made tea from time to time at home, so I would have such proficiency." ”

"Oh, I don't know where the antique shop Chen Xiaoyou said is, listening to your accent, it shouldn't be from Lingzhou." Elder Qin couldn't help but ask with some surprise.

"Old Qin, I am from Haoyang, and the antique shop where I worked before is also in Haoyang, but I just met Mr. Yang by chance and did him a favor." Chen Yi smiled slightly, he finally got this opportunity to learn and appraise, but he couldn't be ruined by himself. (To be continued......)
