After Chu Chen came in, he asked a young woman in her thirties who was quite charming in the reception cabinet:

"Sister Xin, is Uncle Fu here?"

The young woman raised her head and saw that it was Chu Chen, so she smiled and said, "It's Xiao Chen, my dad is upstairs, he asked you to come and go up to him." ”

"That's okay, Sister Xin, you're busy, I'll go upstairs." Chu Chen said hello to Sister Xin and went straight to the second floor.

The room on the second floor is divided into two large and small rooms, the smaller one is used to place antiques, after all, an antique shop, the real antique boutique, is not too much, and the small room of about twenty square meters is enough.

The large room is about 30 square meters and is dedicated to entertaining guests. In fact, there is also an advantage to being separated in this way, like drinking tea and chatting with friends, although the moisture of this tea is minimal, but the antique is very squeamish, even if it is a little bit of water vapor accumulation, it may still bring some harm.

Chu Chen came to the second floor, only to see Zhu Dafu and a middle-aged man talking and laughing there, with a set of tea sets on the table, and a small stove on one side, on which water was boiling, which should be ready to taste tea.

Zhu Dafu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Chu Chen at the door, and beckoned to him: "There is a way to come early, it is better to come by coincidence, come, I will introduce you first." ”

After speaking, Zhu Dafu began to introduce the two.

"This young man is my nephew, Chu Chen, don't look at his young age, he still has a very good set of porcelain identification, Master Song, what do you need in this regard, just ask him for help."

Chu Chen hurriedly shook hands with the middle-aged man, exchanged business cards with him, and then Zhu Dafu introduced the middle-aged man to him:

"Xiaochen, this is Song Jun, Master Song, he is a very famous one in Yixing, a master of making purple clay pots, not only that, he is also a master of tea ceremony, and then our mouth blessing can please him."

Chu Chen said complimentarily: "Fortunately, fortunately." ”

Song Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said that he didn't dare to be.

At this time, the water on the stove had already boiled, and Zhu Dafu said: "It's rare for Master Song to come to the capital, and I will ask Master Song to introduce us to the way to taste tea, how about it?" With that, he clapped his hands.

Chu Chen also clapped his hands and applauded.

Song Jun saw that it was difficult to resist, so he said: "That's okay, I'll talk about it for everyone." Let's first talk about what is the tea ceremony, this tea ceremony is actually the way to appreciate the beauty of tea, so in the final analysis, it is still necessary to talk about tea tasting. ”

"Xu Cishu of the Ming Dynasty once said in "Tea Shu": 'Tea is nourished by water, water is from the vessel, soup is made into fire, the four are mixed with each other, and one is wasted.' Therefore, the three most important tea tastes are water, tea leaves, and tea utensils. ”

"Let's talk about water first, the most haode should be fresh natural mountain spring water, we use the jade spring water brought by Zhu Laotuo this time, the Qianlong Emperor who was good at the tea ceremony personally investigated, and named the jade spring water as "the first spring in the world", and wrote "Yuquan Mountain The first spring in the world", today we also come to taste the taste of the first spring in the world. ”

"The second is tea, this time we use the strong fragrance type of the best Anxi Tieguanyin, the taste is fragrant, the aftertaste is eternal, this tea is best to use the chicken soup spring to brew, the taste is the best, of course, we don't have that condition now, and our jade spring water is the top mountain spring water, and the tea brewed should have a unique flavor."

"Let's talk about tea sets, in fact, according to the ancient tea ceremony, there are as many as 27 kinds of tea sets, of course we don't have this condition now, in fact, not to mention the unprepared tea sets, we usually taste tea and make friends without really being like the ancients, as long as the artistic conception is enough."

After talking about these three aspects, Song Jun also prepared a tea set, and then began to make tea while introducing the matters that need to be paid attention to.

First of all, Song Jun took the tea sample jar with both hands, held the jar with his left hand, opened the lid with his right hand, and took the tea leaves with a teaspoon and put them into the tea tray. If you are in a tea house, at this time, you can help the brew to walk from the right side of the main brew to the left side, pick up the tea tray, give it to the guests to enjoy the tea, and then put the empty tea tray back in its place, and then retreat to the back field.

After appreciating the tea, Song Jun holds the kettle in his right hand and pours boiling water into the teapot, and then after a series of complex but pleasing operations, he lifts the teapot with his right hand, lifts his hand and arm at 90 degrees on his wrist, and faces his palm, and pours the boiling water in the pot into the tea cup, this step is called "warm pot".

After the warm pot, Song Jun put the tea leaves into the purple clay pot, and the coarse tea leaves were placed on one side of the teapot water hole, and the finely broken ones were placed on the side of the pot handle to prevent the fine broken tea leaves from blocking the water hole after brewing.

The amount of tea is generally about half of the capacity of the teapot, and Song Jun reminded them that if they do not have the habit of drinking oolong tea, then it is more appropriate to use weak tea, and the amount of tea is only about one-third of the capacity of the pot.

However, this depends on the degree of tightness of the tea, the high degree of tightness can be put less, on the contrary, it can be slightly more, and the broken tea should be put less.

Next, Song Jun holds the kettle in his right hand and rushes into the kettle along the mouth of the teapot to boil water, covers it with his left hand, and immediately pours the kettle into the teacup with his right hand (the action is one step with the thermopot), the purpose is to moisten the tea leaves and increase the temperature, so that the fragrance and taste can be better played, this step is called warm bubble.

After this step, Chu Chen had already smelled the mellow tea fragrance of Tieguanyin, and the pure aroma couldn't help but make him salivate a little, but Kung Fu tea is to enjoy such a process and appreciate the charm, so that the tea will be more flavorful after a while.

Then, Song Jun held the kettle in his right hand and turned around to flush the boiling water to the edge of the spout, covered the teapot lid with his left hand, and then let it stand for a minute to taste the tea, which was the first brew.

And at this minute, Song Jun didn't like it, he used the warm water in the tea cup just now, and then used the handle of the warm pot to warm the tea cup, smelling cup and tea cup.

After a minute the tea was brewed, Song Jun poured all the tea soup into the tea cup, then held the tea cup and poured it into the smelling cup, leaving a little bottom water with tea residue and discarding it.

zuihou, Song Jun put the tea cup back in the smelling cup, the palm of his right hand is facing up, he uses his index finger and middle finger to clamp both sides of the smelling cup, his thumb is against the bottom of the tea cup, turn his wrist to the left side, so that the palm is facing down, put the bottom of the tea cup on the saucer, and put the saucer into the left middle tea tray. And with that, the whole demo is complete.

Song Jun handed the two cups of tea to Zhu Dafu and Chu Chen respectively, and after making a gesture, everyone began to taste the tea.

According to what Song Jun said just now, Chu Chen used his thumb and index finger to clamp the two sides of the smelling cup, rotated the edge of the smelling cup and xiangshang, so that the tea soup flowed into the tea cup, held the smelling cup with both hands and rubbed it a few times, and then raised his hand to his nose, separated his thumbs into a slit, and sniffed the aroma at the bottom of the cup.

Suddenly, a pure aroma went straight to the heart, and his mind was clear, and at the same time, Chu Chen recalled Song Jun's tea-making action before, which was even more pleasing to the eye, and there was a trace of man's unique strength in the pure spirit, which was really unique.

Immediately afterwards, the aroma began to change, and there was a hint of corn fragrance in the fragrance, which made Chu Chen feel as if he was in a forest of thousands of ripe corns, and he was suddenly relaxed and happy.

And this tea is worthy of being the best Tieguanyin, the bottom of the cup is fragrant for a very long time, Chu Chen repeatedly rubbed and sniffed several times, and can still experience the wonderful fragrance, it is really around the beam for three days, and the aftertaste will always be in my heart.

The aroma of tea is so unexpected, not to mention the tea soup! This tea soup was golden yellow, like a piece of amber placed in front of Chu Chen, making him a little unbearable to drink it.

There is a way that tea is divided into three mouthfuls, one is for drinking, two is for drinking, and three mouths are called products.

Chu Chen carefully took a sip of the tea soup, and as soon as he entered his mouth, there was a mellow and sweet taste, and he tasted it carefully with the tip of his tongue, it was bitter at first, and after a while, he tasted sweet. This can't help but remind him of the years when he first came to the capital, although it was hard, but he lived a very fulfilling life, and he could feel his progress every day.

Then Chu Chen took a second sip, this one was to taste the astringency of the tea soup with his tongue, and the bitter taste couldn't help but remind him of the unpleasant times when he was a child.

At that time, Chu Chen was often scolded as a wild child, other children had mothers, but he didn't, and when he grew up, he realized that he was not born by his father.

During that period of time, I was so miserable and helpless, I often lost my temper for no reason, resented my parents for not coming to him, and I didn't go to school for a whole year.

The third sip of tea soup is to taste the bitterness of the tea soup with the root of the tongue, and it is a little sweet in the aftertaste. How similar is this to the time when I got Tang Sancai before, remorse, surprise, depression, excitement, all kinds of emotions, isn't it just like this sip of tea.

After drinking three sips of tea, Chu Chen couldn't help but shout in his heart, it was really the "tea-flavored life is lived at will, and it is indifferent and content." ”

After drinking a bubble, followed by the second and third brews, the steps of making tea are the same as the first brew, but the time for placing tea is a little more, and the tea soup is also mellow and smooth, and the rhyme appears, but it is slightly lighter than before, but it has a different flavor.

After carefully tasting the three brews of tea, Zhu Dafu said: "Xiaochen, how do you feel after drinking this kung fu tea?" ”

Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Fu, Master Song's kung fu tea is really amazing, it's really good tea, and the tea art is even better. ”

Zhu Dafu touched his beard and said with a smile: "There is a saying that 'Liuhua purifies the muscles and bones, and sparses the heart', and today Master Song really taught us a good lesson." ”

Song Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm just picking up people's teeth, without Zhu Lao's high-grade tea and the best mountain spring water, I can't make such good tea." ”
