Zhu Daolin excused himself to choose a good set of tea sets to make tea and went to the backyard, taking this opportunity to clean up his disordered mind, he rubbed his chest that was a little sore by Ying Changpei's punch as he walked, feeling that Ying Changpei's performance today seemed a little strange, but he was just muttering a few words, but Xiaoying's beautiful face that made his heart tremble always came to his mind and lingered.

The newcomers are very diligent, and they can skillfully use the new high-bore stove designed by Zhu Daolin without the need for the little Taoist Yuhu to speak, and the wide kitchen seems to be instantly full of vitality under the warmth of the blazing stove.

Two sturdy cooks of about 35 years old have wiped the wide stove inlaid with bluestone slabs spotlessly, and four maids of about 14 years old have washed a full set of Jingdezhen tableware and three sets of fine porcelain tea sets, and are wiping the water stains on the porcelain cups and pots with clean white cotton cloths.

A hard-nosed gardener in his fifties and a middle-aged man who worked as a groom, a buyer, and a carpenter were the husbands of the two cooks, and they were picking axes and chopping firewood at the door of the firewood room outside the kitchen.

Zhu Daolin chose a set of exquisite Yue kiln celadon tea sets, politely refused to be honest and frightened, and returned to the front hall with the saucer in his hand.

The two shrewd cooks immediately called the helpless maids and told them to quickly bring the red peat stove and the exquisite copper kettle filled with boiling water to the front hall, so as not to mistake the old man to make tea.

In the open living room between the side of the main hall and the east wing, Zhao Xunting is leading Ying Changpei to visit the log tea table designed by Zhu Daolin, Ying Changpei patted the mahogany root carved tea table that the two of them hugged and sighed, and heard Zhao Xunting say that for the tea table requested by Zhu Daolin, he ran to the log market outside the water gate three times, and spent three hundred taels of silver to transport it back, and then asked the two carving masters under the Ministry of Industry to work for more than half a month before the current sample, Ying Changpei listened to it with emotion, finally knew that Zhu Daolin's pursuit of luxury life was never below him.

"Sit down, if you think the wooden dun is a buttocks, put on a kapok mat."

Zhu Daolin strode through the middle gate, put the tea saucer in his hand on the root carving tea table that was bright and recognizable, signaled the two little girls who followed closely to take a leisurely look not to burn, put the red peat stove and copper kettle within his reach, smiled approvingly at the two girls, and instructed the jade tiger who helped everyone set up the wooden pier to bring the pot of tea in the box.

The red Luo charcoal fire in the red clay stove was getting stronger, and the boiling water in the copper kettle was slightly cooled, and Zhu Daolin reached out to lift the copper kettle, and washed the cup, poured the cup, and washed the pot unhurriedly under the interested eyes of the two brothers.

After taking the bamboo carved tea pot that Yuhu hurriedly brought and opening it, Zhu Daolin found that the matching tea set forgot to buy it back, so he could only carefully pour the fragrant and green Tieguanyin tea grains in the tea pot into the celadon pot, lift the copper pot and pour the boiling water into the semi-porcelain pot, pause slightly and slowly pour out the first tea in the teapot to pour the cup, and the unique mellow fragrance of Tieguanyin tea soon filled the entire space.

"It smells so good! What kind of tea is this? The well-informed Ying Changpei and Zhao Xunting were shocked, and they were both attracted by the intoxicating strange fragrance.

Zhu Daolin replied casually: "The authentic Wuyi Mountain best Tieguanyin, this time I only brought back five cans, all of which were snatched up by my master and the three uncles who love tea, if it weren't for my quick hand, now I don't even have this last can, how about it?" The tea fragrance is not bad, right? ”

"Not bad! It's just that...... Why have I never heard of such good tea in Wuyi Mountain? Ying Changpei, who wanted to snatch the pot of tea in front of him immediately, finally held back, but was deeply interested in the origin of such good tea.

Where did Zhu Daolin know that the Tieguanyin of Wuyi Mountain would not be available until a hundred years later, so he was quite surprised by Changpei's question: "Isn't there this kind of Wuyi Mountain Tieguanyin on the market?" ”

"I haven't heard of it."

The honest Zhao Xunting shook his head, and then counted out the top ten popular teas and other common teas one by one, Ying Changpei picked up the missing and filled in the gaps, and finally counted more than 30 kinds, but there was no name of Wuyi Mountain Tieguanyin.

Zhu Daolin thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue, so he had to lift the exquisite teapot to pour tea for everyone:

"Let's drink the tea first, and taste it while it's hot is the best way to appreciate the pros and cons of this tea...... Xiaohu came to sit, you can try it too, it is not okay to be a Taoist priest who can't taste tea. ”

Zhao Xunting took a small sip and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he didn't even want to say a good word, so he immediately took a big sip.

Ying Changpei, who was sitting opposite Zhu Daolin, had already taken a big sip, holding a small porcelain cup with only one-third left, and his eyebrows were dancing, and he was just about to cheer loudly when he saw his concubine rushing over, and the words of praise that poured into his throat changed his meaning:

"Come on, haha! I didn't expect this tempting tea fragrance to hook you too, sit next to your husband, taste and taste, compared with the famous West Lake tribute tea, there is another indescribable unique charm, it seems that we have one more way to make a fortune, haha! ”

Ying Changpei's concubine walked to her husband's side but didn't sit down, and looked at Zhu Daolin, who was pouring a cup of tea for her, with a smile: "Uncle, on top of the low cabinet between the back room and the study, there is a long suitcase, which contains a guqin?" ”

Zhu Daolin was stunned for a moment: "It's not the qin, it's the zheng." ”

"In this way, my uncle must be proficient in music and good at playing a kite, right?"

Ying Changpei's concubine asked happily again, and the husband and Zhao Xunting on the side looked at Zhu Daolin, who was slightly hesitant, they had never heard of Zhu Daolin, who was five big and three thick, could play a kite, and the playing person was almost the same.

Zhu Daolin saw that everyone was looking at him, so he had to answer honestly: "I can't say that I am proficient, I can make do with ordinary playing, but I haven't touched it for a long time, and the next time I have the opportunity, I will ask my brother and sister-in-law for advice." ”

Ying Changpei's concubine has always liked music, especially the guqin and zither are the most favorite, and after listening to Zhu Daolin's words, how can she be willing to wait until next time.

The smart sister-in-law did not directly ask Zhu Daolin to play a song, but Ying Ying squatted down and hugged her husband's arm and begged in a low voice: "Husband, the concubine is a woman, don't dare to force it, can you help the concubine?" As long as the husband speaks, the uncle will not find an excuse to refuse. ”

Ying Changpei was already skeptical about whether Zhu Daolin would play the kite, and he also wanted to see how Zhu Daolin, who was always pressing himself in business, would deal with it, and whether he would make a fool of himself on the spot, after listening to the request of his concubine, he suddenly felt that half of his body was crispy, and he laughed and said loudly:

"Brother Xian really hides it and doesn't reveal it! No, I have to let Brother Fool and Brother Meng Shan see it today, if you can't spare your hand, Brother Fool and your sister-in-law can help you take out the zither and set it up, haha! ”

Where does Zhu Daolin still not know Ying Changpei's thoughts? looked at the sister-in-law with a bright smile and silky eyes, and then looked at Zhao Xunting who echoed him, so he had to humbly nod his head and agree.
