Shimada is a middle-aged man in his 40s with a wide face and a big nose. A pair of small eyes were rolling in their sockets, looking up and down at the people in front of them.

His complexion was very white, and he was obviously better maintained, even if he was not much worse than a woman, and a pinch of mustache hung diagonally on the slightly upturned mouth.

Although he was just leaning on there, it could be seen from his size that he was once a mighty man, but the passage of time had made him a little pampered.

Seeing the three Nighthawks coming, Shimada waved his hand gracefully and said in pure Chinese, "Please be seated." "I saw everyone's surprised expressions. Shimada smiled slightly, and said very gentlemanly, "Don't be surprised, I am a fan of Chinese culture, I was very obsessed with Chinese history and culture in my early years, and I once devoted myself to the mountains and rivers of your country." Because of this, Yu Kimura-kun was able to become a confidant. "I didn't expect to meet a China expert as soon as I came, Lao Zhou looked at the nighthawk, and the two didn't know whether to be happy or shocked.

The magpie was very generous and sat down first. Nighthawk and Lao Zhou also knelt on the ground like her.

At this time, a low table was set up in front of them, and a woman in a Japanese kimono was kneeling in front of them. Gently moving, stroking tea and water, and moving gracefully, showing off the Japanese tea art to the fullest.

As soon as the fragrant spring water is boiled, it immediately emits bursts of natural fragrance, which wafts away leisurely, making people feel refreshed.

The woman poured the water into the pot that had already filled the tea leaves, and the hot spring water touched the quiet and elegant tea leaves, which immediately stirred up a small whirlpool, and the tea leaves rolled back and forth in the spring water, only waiting for the moment when the stems and leaves were stretched before slowly settling down.

The room is full of fragrance, even if you don't know how to drink tea, Nighthawk, you also know that this is extremely valuable tea, it seems that this Shimada is not stingy at all, so generous to entertain them, is there a request, or just to send them away, from beginning to end, Shimada has been closing his eyes, until the moment when the fragrance of tea overflows, he opened his eyes violently, greedily snorted, smelling the fragrance of tea in the air, it is obvious that he is also a friend of tea.

At this time, a woman dressed in a kimono came beside her, kneeling in front of Nighthawk, offering a long-handled water ladle with both hands, the water ladle was full of water, and she watched as the magpie next to her actually washed her hands in it, and then drank it. Although Nighthawk thought it was strange, he still followed the example and drew a scoop according to the gourd.

How did he know that the magpie then spit it out again, and the panicked Nighthawk hurriedly squeezed out the water that had swallowed half of it, and smiled bitterly in his heart, almost making a fool of himself.

Shimada smiled and nodded, pointing to the dessert on the table and saying "please".

The magpie smiled and said thank you, got up and took a piece, slowly put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Nighthawk didn't know what the hell this guy was doing, so he called out that a few of his people came to this ghost place to drink tea, and neither Lao Zhou nor Magpie opened their mouths to ask. As if nothing happened, Nighthawk was depressed, and that was a big deal.

When everyone had finished their snack, the woman who made the tea poured all the first pot of new tea into small cups, and then took a wooden tool like a clip and carefully washed it back and forth until all the tea in the cup was spilled.

Nighthawk didn't understand, why was Lang Fei Tea so much, he didn't know that the other party was washing the cup with the first pot of freshly brewed half-cooked tea, and using the fragrance of the tea to increase the richness of the cup.

Not much. The woman poured hot water from the stove and brewed a second pot of new tea. Pass the clip in front of each person. Shimada Ping raised his hand and slowly waved it in front of him, and said again.

The magpie picked up the cup and nodded to Shimada first, Lao Zhou and Nighthawk were both laymen, and they followed what the magpie did, and they also nodded to Shimada.

After Shimada returned a salute, he held the cup in both hands and drank it slowly in an almost ceremonial motion, and then looked at the magpie, the movement was basically the same as his.

After drinking the tea, put down the cup. Shimada snorted lightly, smiled, and said happily, "It's really my honor to be able to gather with all my friends today and drink fragrant tea together." After saying that, he clapped his hands, and the kimono woman next to him handed a towel for everyone present to wipe their hands.

The magpie smiled and said, "Mr. Shimada is an elegant person, and he doesn't talk about politics and state affairs when he drinks tea. But we have come all the way, and we really want to ask Mr. Shimada for help, so I don't know if we can open this mouth. "It turns out that in the Japanese tea ceremony, when drinking tea with guests, you can't talk about anything political, military, or financial, but mostly about nature, and only in this way can you appreciate the authentic tea ceremony. The dim sum tasting just now is also a procedure, including washing hands and gargling just now.

Shimada picked up the teacup in front of him and looked at it carefully, he didn't speak for a long time, as if he hadn't heard the magpie's culture just now, Nighthawk couldn't wait to take a loudspeaker and shout a few words into the ear of this deaf man, this Japanese devil is too good at pretending, what is not good, you have to pretend to be deaf.

Shimada played with it for a while, and suddenly said, "You ancient China had four gentlemen in tea. They are the tea god Lu Yu, the tea saint Lu Quan, the tea envoy Cai Xiang, and the tea emperor Zhao Ji.

These four people can be described as the culmination of a way of tea. The tea I use today can also be regarded as a gentleman in tea, and it is taken from the bamboo leaves in front of my door.

Look at the bamboo that stands proudly between heaven and earth, not stained with dust and dirt, not stained with vulgar dust. Although it is bent but not bent. The leaves are like their bodies, and a leaf is sent after spring, pressing thousands of flowers.

This tea is light, fragrant, so that people do not forget, refresh the spleen and lungs, correct the heart, tea between the teeth, leave the fragrance endlessly. But although this tea is good, if there is no supreme spring water, it is in vain.

So I selected the first drop of dew sprinkled on the bamboo leaves in the morning, ordered the young man to get up early and collect it in the urn, only a few years to get a small altar, I made people bury it under the bamboo, collect the essence of heaven and earth, set the aura of the world, please see, today's tea, how extraordinary. Nighthawk listened in a daze, I don't know what this old devil is talking about in his messy mouth, do you drink tea when you drink tea, there are so many strange things, and you pick new leaves, and you store dew, you don't have trouble, pick up the hot water and soak it and drink it directly. Because he still hasn't talked about business, Nighthawk can't bear it anymore.

Lao Zhou motioned to him next to him to be calm and watch the situation develop, and then turned his face to the magpie, he was actually the same as the Nighthawk, he was a rough person, at least he didn't know anything about these elegant things.

It's not that they are uneducated, Lao Zhou is proficient in more things, Nighthawk is even more proficient in many Chinese, and also has a lot of talent in physical chemistry, but unfortunately people talk about ancient Chinese culture, these two orthodox Chinese men are now being said by a Japanese do not know what to say, they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, hoping that magpies will deal with it.

Sure enough, the magpie smiled and said, "Mr. Shimada is elegant, this tea is naturally a good tea, and a gentleman must be a gentleman, but a true gentleman must not be limited to this one, as the saying goes, all things in heaven and earth have living beings, and from the moment they are born, they are pure in heart and not stained, but there are too many acquired factors, which make it difficult to change habits."

or sinking, or decadence, or worldliness, or debauchery.

None of them had the little bit of consciousness they had in the early days.

But I know. The green pine has been proud of the snow for a hundred years, especially the first product in the world. The cold plum blossoms in the wind again, still new white and new red.

These are all heroes who stick to their hearts and stand between heaven and earth, although women are not far behind. Although a gentleman is good, it is not useful everywhere, it is useful for tea, but it is not necessarily beneficial for water. Sir thinks a lot. Shimada thought for a moment and gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Sure enough, it is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, no wonder China has been dignified for 5,000 years, and it still stands in the east without falling, but according to what you said." The cold pine in this world, is there a plum, even if there is, it can be nearby. The magpie smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shimada, for sending you this." As he spoke, he pointed to Nighthawk and Lao Zhou and said, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, don't want the ends of the earth, I have already sent it to you." Shimada had already looked at Nighthawk and Old Zhou for a long time when he was talking, and he found that Old Zhou was deep and introverted, and Nighthawk was open but not relaxed. Judging from his experience in working hard in society for many years, these two people are good hands, like two sheath treasure knives, as long as people pull lightly, the cold light will overflow, illuminating the garden, and those who are close will be injured.

Shimada looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said with a casual smile, "Okay, China is really a big country, and each is a dragon and phoenix among people, hey, how good it would be if I could be born in China." Looking at this Chinese culture fan, Nighthawk can't associate him with a gloomy and cunning, extremely vicious devil, and he can't imagine that this person used to be a clean killer member, probably this is a sense of cultural identity.

Forget it, didn't he not see that Lao Zhou was a combatant before, he just felt that he was a lot stronger than ordinary people.

It's not that there is a problem with their eyes, but that these people are so introverted that the city is too deep, and they are no longer ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Nighthawk couldn't help but glance at Lao Zhou beside him, who was smiling and quietly waiting for Shimada's final reply, he had completely understood the conversation between Magpie and Shimada.

Shimada uses tea as a metaphor for people who don't have his trust, and water as a metaphor for his present, even if he hides it underground and takes it out, it is also a peerless good water, but do you have any tea made with good water like me, he was very skeptical, and the magpie dispelled his suspicions, and promised that they could wish him a good pot of tea, a pun, and get rid of Matsumoto and put him on the throne.

I saw Shimada happily say, "I have never believed in others, but I am older, and there are not many opportunities in the future, I love to gamble all my life, and today I will put the treasure on you, so that I, the shareholder, will send you straight to the sky." The magpie smiled excitedly as the girl's sweet smile grew, and the three of them shook hands with Shimada cordially, expressing their gratitude to him.

Shimada waved his hand and said it didn't matter, in fact, he was more to help himself, but he could only provide information, and he would not personally participate in it, Shimada said, "It's not that I can't believe you, but if you want to solve Matsumoto, you must first complete one thing, and if this thing can't be completed, the cooperation between us will be canceled, and you can also dispel this idea and go back quickly." The three of them were stunned one after another, surprised that at this time, this old boy was still ready to play some tricks.
