Chapter 198: Ye Huajian's Invitation
Gao Cunzhi demonstrated the whole process of serving tea to the guests in detail from the warmer to the tea, and then the first brewing, and after the most brewing, to the guests.
Each step has a unique significance, which opened the eyes of Chen Yi and Xu Guoqiang, but they didn't expect that a simple tea brew still contains so much culture.
The purpose of brewing is to let the tea absorb the water and temperature first, and volatilize the peculiar smell absorbed during storage.
Moreover, the etiquette in the tea ceremony Phoenix nodded three times, and it was used in the hands of Gao Cunzhi, and the movements were very beautiful, this etiquette was to show respect to the guests, and also to express respect for the tea.
Lift the kettle high, let the water go straight down, and then use the force of the wrist to lift and pour water up and down, repeat three times, so that the tea leaves turn in the water, which itself is also the need to make tea, water injection three times to impact the tea soup, can stimulate the tea nature, brew good tea.
After finishing it, Chen Yi observed the two cups of tea soup that Gao Cunzhi poured into the tea cup for them, and the amount of water was almost exactly the same, which required a lot of strength to master, otherwise the control was insufficient, and the tea soup in the two tea cups could not be exactly the same at all.
"Senior Brother Gao, it turns out that there is so much attention to in making tea, which is really an eye-opener for us." Chen Yi looked at the green hairy tips in the teacup, and said to Gao Cunzhi with a sigh on his face.
Gao Cunzhi smiled, "Little junior brother, what I demonstrated just now is just a drop in the ocean in the tea culture, and the antique appraisal and collection we are carrying out now may need some requirements." But the tea ceremony. But it's a culture that anyone can enjoy. ”
"Make tea. If you just appreciate the process, then tasting tea is the enjoyment of really tasting this process, smelling the fragrance and then tasting, this is the process of tasting tea, first look at its color, and then smell its fragrance, before you can taste its taste, generally speaking. A cup of tea needs to be tasted in three sips, and before tasting tea, you have to look at the tea maker for one to two seconds, smile slightly, and express your feelings, it can be said that the Chinese tea ceremony culture has a long history, and it is a unique culture of our country, which is not comparable to other countries at all. ”
Gao Cunzhi smiled and picked up the tea cup, "Generally speaking, the tea cup is just a bowl. It is a tea drinking tool popularized in the Tang Dynasty, and then the following dish was invented. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, it has been equipped with a lid to form a three-in-one tea cup with a lamp, a cover, and a saucer, also known as a covered bowl, also known as a three-cai bowl, the cover is the sky, the support is the earth, and the bowl is for people. ”
After speaking, Gao Cunzhi picked up a piece of the bowl lid holder, and described in detail the meaning of doing so, and when drinking later, he gently opened the bowl lid with his hand, first sniffed the aroma, and then took the bowl lid to pluck the tea leaves floating in the tea soup, and then took a sip gently, and drank all the tea soup in the tea bowl in three times.
The action of tasting tea is exactly the same as making tea, it is very slow, Chen Yi couldn't help but nodded, this tea does have the effect of self-cultivation, and he didn't expect that there is so much meaning and culture between making tea and tasting tea.
"Okay, let's talk about it here today, you first soak it and take a look, I'll correct the mistakes, drink tea, it's not that you can really understand the words by drinking, it is with age, cultivation, the increase of experience, a little bit of accumulation, although the entry is very simple, but if you want to be profound, it is like reading poetry and appreciating paintings, you need a wealth of knowledge." Gao Cunzhi said with a smile, the word tea ceremony is not just as simple as brewing and drinking.
Chen Yi nodded, let Xu Guoqiang make tea first, he admired this senior brother who had been an apprentice for ten years before he became successful.
Xu Guoqiang himself is an honest man with a resolute personality, just by virtue of his ability to be an apprentice in an antique shop for ten years, it is enough to know how calm his heart is, when making tea, there is no rush and panic at all, but some actions are mistakes and are corrected by Gao Cunzhi.
After that, after Xu Guoqiang brewed it, Chen Yi appraised it, shook his head and smiled, Gao Cunzhi's score for making tea was as high as eighty points, while Xu Guoqiang was only ten points, after all, it was the first time to make tea.
The two bowls of tea brewed by Xu Guoqiang were placed next to him, and Gao Cunzhi took out two more tea bowls, as if after Chen Yi finished brewing, let the two taste the difference between the three bowls of tea.
Chen Yi recalled some of Gao Cunzhi's actions of making tea before, and did not deliberately imitate them, but went with the flow, the movements were very slow, and he couldn't help but find that when making tea, his heart was really much calmer than usual.
There were also some mistakes in his movements, but the most reluctantly phoenix three nodded a lot stronger than Xu Guoqiang, and it was successfully completed, and after the appraisal, the score was twenty points.
Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, thirty points estimated that he would have to practice many more times before he could reach it, and when he finished brewing, Gao Cunzhi smiled, and then made two bowls of tea to correct their mistakes, and then put the two bowls of tea next to the two, and took out one bowl from each of the two bowls of tea made by the two and put it in the other party's position.
"Okay, the tea brewed by each person will be different, you taste these three bowls of tea, will this happen." Gao Cunzhi smiled and pointed to the three bowls of tea and said.
Chen Yi and Xu Guoqiang glanced at each other and nodded, they both picked up the tea they brewed first, learned from Gao Cunzhi, smelled it first and then tasted it, and the second one tasted was the other party's tea.
And in the end, the two of them tasted Gao Cunzhi's tea, but they directly tasted the different tastes, Chen Yi couldn't help but be a little amazed, sure enough, it was sixty points worse, this taste is very different, Gao Cunzhi's brewing is more delicious than them.
"How about it, I feel it, so, you should also understand some of the previous theories, you need a lot of conditions to make tea, to be able to make good tea, if you are in a bad mood, no matter how skilled you are in making tea, it will also be affected, study hard, our Chinese culture is broad and profound, and you still need to learn a lot of places." Gao Cunzhi looked at the expressions of the two and couldn't help but say with a smile.
Chen Yi and Xu Guoqiang both nodded, the same water, the same tea leaves, but the tea brewed is different, which is really very strange.
In the days that followed, Chen Yi studied antiques, porcelain and calligraphy and painting in Jiya Ge, and learned to make tea and taste tea at the same time.
For these theories, Chen Yi has long been deeply remembered in his mind, not to mention practice, although he has not touched a car for a while, but after his car was brought over, he practiced in the community every day.
You can't go on the road without a driver's license, there will always be no traffic police to check it when you practice in the community, the test of several subjects was successfully passed, and the people in the vehicle management department asked him to come over for a month to get the certificate, which made Chen Yi a little happy, after a month, he could drive a car and walk on the road, which is both fresh and exciting for him, after all, riding in a car and driving by himself are two completely different concepts, and the feeling is very different.
In addition, Chen Yi walked around the antique city from time to time, and also found a lot of leaks, some of which he collected by himself, some were bought by Gao Cunzhi, and the rest he sold all to Ye Huajian.
Originally, after buying the car, plus the 700,000 yuan from the Qing Dynasty, there were only 2.54 million left in the card, and after buying some leaks, his wealth reached as much as 7 million.
This is what he got after he put some of the leaks at home, and if he buys all his leaks, it is estimated that it will reach more than 10 million.
Although there are some leaks picked up, they have not encountered something as precious as Tian Huangshi, an antique worth seven million, and the volume is still so small, it can be said to be extremely precious, which is why Chen Yi does not want to sell it now.
These days, Ye Huajian has become friends with Chen Yi, a person with a strong eye for antiques, naturally worthy of Ye Huajian's relationship, in the conversation, he knew Chen Yi's name, and also knew Chen Yi's identity.
In the boiling Taobao competition some time ago, as an art investor, how could he not know some of these things, two people were accepted as disciples by Zheng Lao, and now they are studying with Gao Cunzhi, one of whom is Chen Yi.
After learning Chen Yi's identity, Ye Huajian was not shocked by Chen Yi's search for so many leaks, but he was still surprised, and then thought of some deeds in the Taobao competition, he couldn't help but smile, Chen Yi can have his current achievements, which may be related to Gao Cunzhi, but more I am afraid it is his own efforts.
For powerful people, Ye Huajian is full of respect in his heart, and Chen Yi and Chen Yi go to the teahouse or restaurant from time to time to sit down, and they all exchange knowledge of antique collection, and they all have their own gains, among which Chen Yi's insights on some antiques are even far beyond his expectations.
On this day, Chen Yi just came out of Jiya Pavilion and was about to go to Uncle Liu's place, but he received another call from Ye Huajian, "Chen Xiaoyou, I don't know if you are free tonight." ”
"Brother Ye, it's just a matter of drinking tea during the day, you won't go to drink tea at night." Chen Yi suddenly shook his head and said with a smile, he has been communicating with Ye Huajian for a long time, and he is very familiar with him, so when he speaks, he is not polite at all.
"Ha Luha, Chen Xiaoyou, you misunderstood, there is an event tonight, I want to invite you to participate in it, it is guaranteed to open your eyes, it is worth the trip." Ye Huajian said with a smile.
"Oh, Brother Ye, I don't know what kind of activity Lu Dao is." Chen Yi couldn't help but ask suspiciously, so far, the communication between him and Ye Huajian has only been limited to tea tasting and antiques, what is going on with this activity. (To be continued......)
