Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This purple clay pot can be said to be exactly the same as in the identification information, and even more real and exquisite than the three-dimensional images seen in the information.
Facing his pot surface, it is the picture of a lonely bird snow plum, a plum blossom in the lower right of the pot body, winding upward, almost across the entire pot body, and in the picture, a small bird is lonely stored on the branch, as if it has not flown off, its three-dimensional sense is very strong.
Under the plum blossom branches, he also saw the identification information on the identification, Hufan Dao Brother is painting, Han Ting.
At this time, Jiang Hanting was invited by Premier Zhou to draw a huge picture of red plums for the people's hall, which shows his skill in painting plums.
Without paint, this purple clay pot, placed on the table, looks so charming, making people feel that the whole room has become antique.
At this time, Chen Yi's heart was full of excitement and surprise, this piece worth tens of millions, Master Gu Jingzhou's work, finally removed all the paint, and saw the light of day.
Since learning to make tea, he has a deeper and deeper understanding of tea ceremony culture, and can have the purple clay pot of some masters such as Gu Jingzhou, which is probably the wish of all tea ceremony lovers, and now, he has realized this wish, and this purple clay pot is specially made by Master Gu Jingpan for his friends, there are only five in the whole world, it can be said that it is a collection of pottery, calligraphy and painting, seal carving in one, perfect and perfect.
Chen Yi stretched out his hand and wanted to pick up the purple clay pot and look at its back and bottom. Just as his hand was about to touch the purple clay pot, he suddenly got up. When I came to the bathroom, I washed and wiped my hands clean, then I returned to the table and gently picked up the purple clay pot.
On the other side of the purple clay pot, there are two lines of poetry, chewing plum blossoms, Brother Han Ting painted the pot for Yu, and Qian self-titled. These two inscriptions undoubtedly prove that the lone bird on the painting was painted by Jiang Hanting, and these inscriptions were engraved by Wu Hufan himself.
Chen Yi gently turned the pot upside down and looked at its bottom, under the bottom of the pot. It is Gu Jingzhou's three-character print, and its handwriting is very unique and refined.
Gently placing the pot on the table, he slowly opened the lid of the pot, and at this time, the inside was the same as the outside, and there was no longer a trace of paint, including the taste.
engraved on the pot. There is a yang engraving with the word Jingzhou, and its font can be said to be exactly the same as the bottom of the pot.
On this purple clay pot, there is the purple sand and seal carving process of Master Gu Jingzhou, as well as the calligraphy of Wu Hufan and the calligraphy and painting of Jiang Hanting. It can be said that it is unique in the world.
The other four pots also have other people's inscriptions. But the pot painted by Jiang Hanting and calligraphy by Wu Hufan is only this one.
Chen Yi looked at this millet purple clay pot, the excitement on his face still did not subside, and after really watching this purple clay pot, he knew how this pot could be worth more than 10 million.
The purple clay pot given to him by Gao Cunzhi, although it is a master's work, but what it shows is only exquisite ceramic craftsmanship, and this pot is a collection of pottery, calligraphy and painting, and seal carving.
In addition to his own pottery, Gu Jingzhou is also involved in calligraphy, painting, seal carving, gold and stone, archaeology, etc., all of which are reflected in the purple clay pot he made.
In this way, Gu Jingzhou is known as the most accomplished one of the modern potters, and his reputation is comparable to that of Shi Dabin, a pot master in the Ming Dynasty, and he also has the title of a generation of grandmasters and pot masters.
Touching the lubricated surface of this purple clay pot, Chen Yi's state of mind has never been calm, even if he is his senior brother, Gao Cunzhi is the same, the reason is just because Master Gu Jingzhou's pot is hard to find, especially the purple clay pot with such a heavy meaning and only five pieces.
Chen Yi suddenly remembered what happened when he was in the Qin Gu Zhai in Tianjing Antique City, he put his hand into the pot, and then gently blew with his mouth, almost at the moment of blowing, his face showed a look of surprise, in the pot, he could clearly feel the air flow that he was blowing.
At this time, Chen Yi had a strong **, that is, he used this purple clay pot to make a pot of tea, and wanted to enjoy the tea brewed by Master Gu Jingzhou's purple sand pot, what it tasted like.
The appearance and interior of a purple clay pot can affect the taste of tea, the process of the purple sand pot is good, the materials are good, the tea brewed is naturally different, its appearance can bring people spiritual appreciation, and the taste of tea enjoyment, can be said to be very wonderful.
And if a purple clay pot has a rough appearance, not to mention its internal craftsmanship, the appearance alone is enough to make people difficult to swallow.
After learning to make tea, Chen Yi's understanding of the tea ceremony has reached a deep realm, and he is already very familiar with what kind of tea the purple clay pot is suitable for.
The purple clay pot is suitable for brewing oolong tea such as Tieguanyin and Dahongpao, that is, semi-alcoholic or full-alcohol tea, because these types of tea are suitable for high-temperature brewing, and the taste will be better.
Green teas such as West Lake Longjing and Xinyang Maojian should not be brewed in a purple clay pot, because green tea will turn yellow and boil rotten under high temperature simmering.
In addition, the purple clay pot will also absorb the aroma of the tea, the aroma of the green tea itself is very light, and then it is sucked away by the purple sand pot, the tea will not have the original taste, in addition, when the green tea itself is brewed, the tea will be stretched, and if it is brewed with the purple sand pot, it will not be able to appreciate the beautiful tea leaves in the water, so it is the best appliance for brewing green tea with a glass or a bowl.
Just like the phoenix three nods when he brewed green tea, in the purple clay pot, it can never be realized.
At this time, Chen Yi couldn't wait to take out Tieguanyin's tea from the storage space, and when he left, Gao Cunzhi gave him a lot of tea, including Tieguanyin and Maojian tea, which are basically high-grade teas.
Chen Yi used Master Gu Jingzhou's purple clay pot this time, and what he wanted to brew was Tieguanyin, which was also determined according to the type of the stone scoop pot, this kind of pot body barrel is shorter, and when brewing, the teapot will reach high temperature in an instant, which just meets the brewing requirements of Tieguanyin.
Taking out the Tieguanyin tea leaves, Chen Yi gently picked up the stone ladle pot and cleaned it inside and outside with boiling water.
After the work was ready, Chen Yi put the tea leaves into the purple clay pot, and couldn't help but sigh, this pot was soaked in Tieguanyin, and no other tea leaves could be brewed in the future.
A pot of tea, this is the basic requirement of raising a pot, the purple sand pot can absorb the aroma of tea, brewing a tea for a long time, will generate a kind of tea rust on the tea wall, this is not a garbage substance, but a characteristic and advantage of the purple sand pot, once this tea rust accumulates deeper and deeper, even if the empty pot does not put tea leaves, injected with boiling water, there will be tea fragrance.
If you brew other tea leaves that taste different from Tieguanyin, this will undoubtedly destroy the taste of the entire pot of tea, and the pot raising work that was helped by constantly brewing tea leaves before is also abandoned.
These knowledge are all learned by him in constantly making tea and communicating with people, and the purple clay pot given to him by Gao Cunzhi, he also only uses Tieguanyin, and from time to time he will use a glass or a bowl to make some green tea to taste.
Like the phoenix three nods in green tea, when making tea in a purple clay pot, there are also some extremely charming words to describe it.
When soaking Tieguanyin, there are eight procedures, the first is the white crane bath, which means to wash the tea set; Oolong enters the palace and puts the tea leaves into the tea set; Hanging pot high chong, this is brewing tea; The spring breeze blows on the face, which is to scrape away the white foam floating in the tea set; Guan Gong patrols the city, this is pouring tea, and pouring the tea brewed for one or two minutes into the teacups in turn; Han Xin ordered the soldiers, and when the tea was poured to a little, it was evenly dripped into each teacup little by little; The last two dishes of tasting the soup and tasting the sweet rain are to watch the tea and taste the tea.
Even if it is to make tea by himself, Chen Yi did not omit the slightest of these procedures, making tea, enjoying this kind of tea ceremony culture when making tea.
Looking at the pure water of the hotel used next to him, Chen Yi couldn't help but smile, now that he has storage space, maybe he has to take time to find some natural mountain spring water and put it into the space, presumably the tea brewed will definitely be more wonderful.
After the tea is poured into the purple clay pot, as time goes by, a fragrance overflows from the water and becomes stronger and stronger.
The first tea was only used to wash the tea warmer, and after fifteen seconds of the second brew, Chen Yi poured the tea from the pot into the cup.
At this time, a very unique, high-aromatic, mellow and long fragrance slowly emanated from the pot, making Chen Yi involuntarily take a deep breath, and his face showed a look of surprise.
Sure enough, the same water, the same tea leaves, and the tea brewed with this purple clay pot is already more rich and unique in aroma than the one Gao Cunzhi gave him.
Chen Yi slowly put down the teapot, then picked up the cup and looked at the color of the soup, the soup tea in this cup of tea is orange and bright, and there is a green and green color, which can be said to be the top grade in Tieguanyin, which is commonly known as mung bean soup.
Different pots, different brewing methods, and different brewing times will make the aroma and soup color of the tea leaves different, and the color of the tea he brews now, like the aroma, is much brighter than the color of the purple clay pot he originally had.
Chen Yi smelled the aroma, looked at the soup color, and couldn't resist the urge to taste in his heart, gently picked up the cup, took a sip first, and suddenly his eyes lit up, feeling full of fragrant mouth, the tip of the tongue was full of relish, the second sip, still slowly tasted, its taste is very mellow, and there is rhyme in the fragrance, and the rhyme is sweet, the third sip, directly drink the tea in the cup, and a wave of orchid aroma gushes into the mouth, which seems to go straight to the heart, which can be said to make people have an endless aftertaste.
