Chapter 69: Bitter Tea
Pushing open the door, Shinono Shingo walked into the room with a calm face.
Then I saw an old man sitting upright on an elegant tatami mat.
This is an old man over half a hundred years old, with a weather-beaten face, two deep-set eyes, deep and bright, looking very godly, and his hair is very neat.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Koichiro Matsuyuki, and I am the grandfather of Matsuyuki Izumi."
"Hello, I'm Shingo Harano."
Looking at the energetic old man on the other side introducing himself, he replied without humility or arrogance.
"I'm sorry to have you here in this way, but please forgive me."
Koichiro Matsuyuki lowered his head slightly and said with some apologies.
"I don't have to apologize, I'm curious why I, an ordinary high school student, was invited by you."
He didn't plan to go around in circles with this old man again, but asked straight to the point.
It seems that he was surprised by the straightforwardness of Shingo Harano, or seeing that he was able to talk to himself in a state of neither humility nor arrogance, Koichiro Matsuyuki thought of Shingo Harano on the data again, but he had to look at him highly.
"Harano-kun isn't a simple high school student."
Looking at the kind old man smiling on the other side, Shigo Harano instantly became vigilant, and sure enough, this kind of character will investigate before coming into contact with someone.
"Looks like you've already investigated me."
"What is your purpose?"
Seeing that the other party was quite polite, Shingo Harano directly said his doubts, thinking that such a character should not make things difficult for himself, and if he cleaned up, he would not appear here.
"Yuanye-kun is a little anxious, why don't you have a cup of tea first."
The anxiety in Shingo Harano's heart also calmed down.
No way, people are powerful and powerful, so it's best for them to be hospitable.
Neither of them spoke again, until the sound of boiling water came from the clay pot on the table.
The old man in front of him began to pour water into the wooden cup to warm the cup, and then began to take out the tea leaves from the tea can and brew it himself.
First, he poured out the first bowl of tea brewed with boiling water in the clay pot, and then refilled the wooden cup in front of him.
"Harano-kun, please use tea."
"Thank you."
Shingo Harano respectfully picked up the wooden cup that the other party had pushed over and said.
In fact, many teas are not directly brewed and can be drunk, because even new tea needs to be brewed once to remove bitterness.
The most typical is the Pu'er tea of the Celestial Empire, Pu'er is a kind of black tea, whether it is new tea or old tea, it needs to be brewed repeatedly to remove the astringency, so that the more you brew it, the more delicious it is.
Tea ceremonyTea ceremony is an indoor traditional art、This tea is an artistic ceremony held in a special place that is completely isolated from daily life, and it is necessary to go through extremely cumbersome procedures。
It can be done using a specific technique. In addition to emphasizing special techniques, the tea ceremony also emphasizes the connection between people.
This is the etiquette of drinking tea in the island country. You will find that there are calligraphy and paintings on the tea bowls.
That's what you call the main suit. The color of any tea set facing each other is "a sign of politeness" When the host makes tea and presents it to the guests, he should turn around twice in order to face the guests.
There are cumbersome procedures for the tea ceremony, the tea leaves should be finely grinded, the tea utensils should be cleaned, and the host's movements should be standardized, which should not only have a dance-like rhythm and elegantness, but also be accurate and in place.
Tea ceremony tea tasting is very particular about the place, and it is generally carried out in the tea room. When receiving guests, after the guests are seated, the tea master who presides over the ceremony will light a charcoal fire, boil water, brew tea or matcha according to the prescribed actions, and then offer it to the guests in turn.
Guests must respectfully accept the tea with both hands according to the regulations, thank you first, and then turn the tea bowl three times, light taste, slow drink, and return. Ordering, boiling, brewing, and offering tea are the main parts of the tea ceremony ritual and require specialized skills and training.
After drinking tea, according to the custom, the guests should appreciate and praise all kinds of tea sets, and finally, the guests bowed to the host and said goodbye, and the host sent them warmly.
Koichiro Matsuyuki was also silently observing Shingo Harano while brewing tea, although he was not humble or arrogant from the beginning of entering the door, he was a little anxious, but then he seemed to recognize the reality and began to become patient, but let him nod slightly.
"How does it taste?"
"It's sweet and a little astringent, even if it's brewed repeatedly, I don't know what kind of tea it is, please forgive me for being rude." After entering the entrance, Shigo Harano frowned, and when he heard Koichiro Matsuyuki ask him, he took two more sips and said cautiously.
In his last life, his mother opened a small tea wholesaler, although he did not have any tea ceremony attainments, but the basic style and taste of tea are still clear, and he also got tea art skills a while ago.
"It's not tea, and it's the leaves that fall in my yard."
Matsuyuki Koichiro didn't expect that Shingo Harano would really evaluate himself, even if the tea was not delicious, he didn't dare to say such a thing, but he didn't expect this kid to say it bluntly, and he also admired his honesty a little, but I really didn't know where his confidence was.
"I used to brew leaves to drink from a long time ago when I didn't succeed, and I often reminded myself that enduring hardship is a necessary part of life, and I still retain this habit until now, but it is rare for young people nowadays to do so." Koichiro Matsuyuki said with a slight sigh.
"Tea is bitter, but people's hearts are not bitter."
"I think this habit of yours is also a big help to your success." Shigo Harano looked at the old man in front of him who was a little emotional, complimented the other party, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip silently.
Sure enough, I still like to drink a little bit of fat house happy water!
Shingo Harano complained about himself frantically in his heart.
Looking at the handsome young man opposite him and taking another sip of the teacup, Koichiro Matsuyuki showed appreciation in his eyes, but if he knew what Shingo Harano was thinking, he would definitely score zero in his heart without mercy.
"Actually, Whiser Bunku, where Harano-kun works, is a subsidiary of Fortis Group, and I am the chairman of Fortis Group."
After finishing speaking, Koichiro Matsuyuki took another sip of tea without hurry, and looked at him with a smile.
"Then you can be my boss."
Hearing Koichiro Matsuyuki say such a sentence without being shocked, Shigo Harano's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly to express his shock, and then said half-jokingly.
"But I also appreciate Yuanye-kun's talent, so I want to thank you for helping my granddaughter." Koichiro Matsuyuki smiled and praised him, and then brought up the matter of Matsuyuki Spring Water.
"Do you mean Senior Sister Songxue to release a single? It was just a decision made by the collaborator and me, and you don't have to thank me. ”
After thinking about it for a while, it occurred to him that it should be a matter of letting Matsuyuki Spring sing the theme song, and then replied with a smile.
"That child's dream since she was a child is to be a singer, but she has always been reluctant to use the resources of the family, you know, if she wants, I can even open a record company for her, but who makes this child more stubborn."
Seeing the old man in front of him easily say such a bold statement as opening a company because of his granddaughter's dream, Shigo Harano had no doubt that he would do so.
This is the reality of going home and inheriting tens of billions of assets if you don't do it well?
No, tens of trillions? Or is it more?
But what he didn't expect was this.
Songxue Spring Water's dream is to be a singer?
