Chapter 111: The Magical Ancient Jade Teapot
Hearing that Yan Chen, the grandson-in-law, had come back and had deliberately put a lot of effort into choosing a gift for himself, Mu Chengdong was very happy in his heart.
I don't care about the value of things, I care about this heart.
When his granddaughter and grandson-in-law came, Mu Chengdong saw a lot of things. There are a lot of things, all of which are needed to visit the elders normally.
When the mind comes, he won't pick anything.
But I didn't expect that this grandson-in-law not only took those, but also spent time to prepare filial piety things for himself, how could he not be happy?
"It's not as exaggerated as Shang Qing said. Actually, it's nothing, but I learned by chance that grandpa you like to collect ancient jade tea sets, and it just so happens that I know that there is such a thing in one place.
I'm an old friend with the owner of the thing, and he can't bear to cut his love, but it takes a little more to talk about it. So it didn't take a lot of thought. ”
Yan Chen took Mu Shangqing's words very modestly. He knew what Mu Shangqing meant, and he wanted to make a better impression in the old man's heart.
But these are just his juniors, who want to add some joy to the old man, and don't want to win anything because of this.
It's a heartfelt feeling.
"Ah Chen's heart, grandpa has personally experienced. Happy, happy!"
"Old man, you're even happier to see that thing. ”
Even Mu Shangqing admired Yan Chen's luck was so good. It's just thinking about something, and what appears.
Originally, he was just happy about this matter, but after hearing Mu Shangqing's words, he went to arouse Mu Chengdong's curiosity.
There aren't many things that want to make him happy, of course, not in the mood.
"I'm really curious, let Xiao Zhou take it and take a look. I can't wait to see what it is!"
"I've already asked Uncle Zhou to pick it up. Now just go to the living room in your back room and you can see things. ”
Fortunately, he was prescient, so Mu Shangqing had already made arrangements.
"Then why don't you leave quickly, what are you waiting for?"
While Old Man Mu was talking, he had already begun to beckon everyone to go to his house.
Yan Chen and Mu Shangqing stepped forward together and half-helped the old man to walk, so as not to walk too fast......
The jade tea set given to the old man Mu Chengdong is a set of mutton fat jade tea sets. The whole set of tea sets is pure white and warm like mutton fat.
Transparent and pure, white and flawless, it makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.
The teapot has a light, sluggy pattern of bamboo leaves, slightly darker, which complements the pure white color.
The old man took the thing in his hand and played with it carefully. The jade starts to warm up, like a delicate feeling of skin fat.
"It's a good thing, this mutton fat jade alone is a good thing. This alone is already excellent, and it has been carved into a complete set of tea sets, tsk!"
This set of tea sets simply made the old man Mu Chengdong love it.
"Do you like this thing, old man? I was in the front room just now, did I lie to you?"
As soon as he saw the brightness in Mu Chengdong's eyes, Mu Shangqing knew that his old man definitely liked this tea set.
"How can I not like it, it just won my heart. Ah Chen, the old man can see that you have put a lot of thought into it!
It's not something that can be taken down with just a few lips. If you want to buy it from someone you like, you will feel distressed like a knife in someone's body.
Even if that person is your good friend, presumably this kind of heart-wrenching bloody knife snatching love, if you want to buy it, it will cost you a lot of twists and turns. ”
This filial piety is really heartfelt. It's not about the money, it's about the heart. The more you like something, the less you will cut your love.
This set of ancient jade tea sets, as long as it is someone who likes it, no one will want to let go.
"Grandpa has an overreputation. In my opinion, perhaps it should be said that this ancient jade tea set is related to you, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that I saw it. ”
Although the gift was given by himself, Yan Chen was not greedy for merit. However, he wanted to keep a low profile, but Mu Shangqing did not allow it.
The goodness of one's own man is to let everyone know. To have the ability is to have the ability, what are you doing with it?
"Old man, this thing is not just to be put on display, or to be happy to play with in your hand. It is a tea set, and the most important thing is, of course, to make tea and taste tea.
And this is the most gratifying thing about this set of ancient jade tea sets. ”
"Can you make tea that tastes better? If so, you can try it." Not to mention anything else, I can still manage enough tea old man here.
Whether it's black tea, clear tea, flower tea...... As long as you say it, it's not the old man who praises Haikou, you can find it here. ”
The granddaughter has never been a talker. That being said, there must be other surprises waiting for him.
"Grandpa, we don't need any good tea, just prepare high-quality mountain spring water. A pot of cold and a pot of hot is required. ”
Mu Shangqing didn't say how to do it, it was a small sale.
The things to prepare are simple, the mountain spring water for brewing tea, the old man has prepared it at any time.
Zhou Tianfu moved very quickly, took the water, and watched the movements of the little couple with everyone.
Mu Shangqing placed the things, and Yan Chen prepared them. The two work together and have a full sense of tacit understanding.
Four people, old and young, eyes gathered.
Yan Chen first used cold mountain spring water to wash all the tea utensils. The movements are not slow, but they are elegant.
Take them all out and gently arrange them neatly. Then I picked up the mountain spring water that had been processed and cooled.
The clear mountain spring water was slowly poured into the jade pot, emitting an ethereal sound.
Everything is ready, and all that's left is time to wait.
"Just wait three minutes. ”
Yan Chen didn't explain anything after he stopped, he just said how long he had to wait.
No one here is impatient, just three minutes.
Time is ticking and ticking.
Everyone stared at the jade pot that was already filled with water, and they didn't speak quietly.
Let the atmosphere inexplicably appear tense.
The husband and wife looked at each other helplessly, could these people be a little too serious?
As the three minutes approached, the people who had been staring at the jade pot found that it had not changed in any way.
It's still the pot, it's still the water.
In this regard, Mu Shangxi also deliberately stepped forward and sniffed at the mouth of the pot. It's light and light, without any taste.
It's water, he's sure.
"What's the matter with my brother-in-law?
The others didn't say anything about his impatience. However, all eyes were on Yan Chen's body, waiting for what he would do next.
It's impossible to joke with everyone, so everyone believes that change will happen.
Yan Chen ignored Mu Shangxi's eagerness, when the time came, there was no need to waste his lips and tongue.
Mu Shangqing even glanced at this younger brother, the meaning was obvious, disliked that this younger brother was not calm and steady enough.
The water in the jade pot is still clear water, but after pouring it into the jade cup, it changes.
It is obviously mountain spring water, but it exudes a faint, cold and pure aroma of wine.
"Hey, the water is poured into the jade pot, but it can give off the smell of wine, which is really peculiar. Let the old man taste it and see how it tastes. ”
Mu Chengdong didn't wait for others to get started, and directly stepped forward and picked up a jade cup.
It was a slightly cold aroma, with a strong smell of wine, and the urge to have a product just by smelling it.
The entrance is soft, as elegant as green bamboo, but there is a lingering cold fragrance, and the aftertaste is long.
"It's not just the smell in the nose, it's also very good. Let's all come and try this amazing wine. ”
Mu Chengdong, who tasted the contents of the cup, was full of joy. I secretly praised it in my heart, it's really a good thing.
If this is to let that group of old friends know that this set of jade tea sets in their hands, they will definitely be envious, jealous and hateful.
Hey, it's fun to think about!
Old Man Mu's greeting made everyone unwelcome. Each took a cup, and then their expressions were very different.
"Dad, this jade pot is really amazing. It's strange that it can pour out water even though it's poured water.
The only difference with wine is that although it tastes very similar, it is not wine in the end, and it is not intoxicating without wine. However, this is very suitable for people who don't drink alcohol. ”
Shang Nam tasted this special wine and said his opinion. When he looked at his son-in-law again, there was a big praise in his eyes.
Just like Mu Shangqing said, it is impossible for the old man to like such a gift.
"It's amazing, it's collectible, it's research-worthy, and it's even more practical. You've always kept me from drinking, and I'll never worry about stopping drinking anymore. ”
Mu Chengdong appreciates its practical and research value more than simply appreciating it.
"Dad, this is a collection and play with by Ah Chen, how come the role of you here is to become a wine jug?"
Old man Mu is good tea, but more is good wine. However, as he grew older, doctors did not allow him to drink too much, so tea became his only hobby.
"Since Ah Chen gave me this ancient jade tea set, what you want to do with it is naturally up to me. Besides, although the contents of this cup are very similar to wine, they are not real after all, so why drink it. ”
Old man Mu is a little arrogant, the thing was given to me, that is mine, what to do with yourself has the final say.
"Okay, good, you're the biggest, haven't you always listened to you at home? You use this instead of wine to satisfy your cravings, it's just mountain spring water, how can we who are juniors still nag. ”
"Haha, it's good to know!"
Shang Nan's last words made Old Man Mu even happier.
"Old man, Ah Chen gave you this jade teapot, but that's not all. It's not done yet, don't you want to look any further?"
Mu Shangqing interrupted the small talk of several people at this time, and threw out a heavy **.
The jade teapot has other functions.
"What's the surprise? Tell me about it! This jade teapot is so amazing that the old man is a little embarrassed to accept it. ”
said that he was embarrassed, but in Mu Chengdong's expression, he had no intention of letting go at all.
"Filial piety is not noble or cheap, this is just a little heart for those of us who are juniors. Grandpa, this ancient jade teapot also has a set of brewing methods, and the things that come out will have a different taste. ”
Under the gaze of everyone, Yan Chen began to move again. And this time the hands-on is almost no different from the last one.
Brew and clean the tea set in the same way.
The only thing that has changed is that the cold water used for preparation has been changed to boiling hot water.
There is only a slight change, but the end result is a completely different, equally novel one.
