Chapter 19: The class gets the axe

When Cao Yanyan took Bai Yu, Ouyang Jie, Zhou Qingyang and Shen Qingcheng to the Dunhuang traditional handicraft workshop, a middle-aged man wearing a long horse coat, a goatee on his chin and sunglasses stopped Cao Yanyan in front of the workshop. "Yanzi, it's been a long time, what are you busy with?"

Cao Yanyan stepped forward and chatted enthusiastically, "Uncle Zhong, I wasn't busy with our review materials a while ago, so I didn't have much time to come to you." By the way, Uncle Zhong, let me introduce to you, I am surrounded by Expert Bai, Expert Ouyang, Expert Zhou and Expert Shen.

They heard that you have an ancient handmade glow-in-the-dark cup, but they came straight to you in this market. ”

Cao Yanyan quickly introduced Shen Qingcheng to the person called Uncle Zhong, and the man called Uncle Zhong was an expert when he heard it, so he hurriedly pushed his sunglasses above his head, and excitedly stepped forward to shake hands with Bai Yu, Ouyang Jie, Zhou Qingyang and Shen Qingcheng one by one.

"You are all knowledgeable people, I am in front of you Lu Ban to get a big axe, Ban Men to get an axe." The man called Uncle Zhong said with a humble face.

Shen Qingcheng carefully looked at the furnishings in Uncle Zhong's shop, and looked at the large shop, there were not many finished products on the surface.

Shen Qingcheng felt a little strange, could it be that the luminous cup here still couldn't be customized.

"Uncle Zhong, I don't know if your luminous cup is ready-made or?" Shen Qingcheng asked the question in his heart.

Before Uncle Zhong answered, Cao Yanyan explained for Uncle Zhong. "Uncle Zhong's real name is Zhong Li, we are a native of Dunhuang, he is the inheritor of our Dunhuang intangible cultural heritage, his ancient handmade luminous cup production is handed down from the ancestors, and it has a history of more than 1,000 years."

Ouyang Jie, Zhou Qingyang, and Shen Qingcheng all gave Zhongli a thumbs up, after all, they could pass on the ancestral craftsmanship for thousands of years, and the perseverance of passing on the torch alone was worthy of their admiration.

"You have won awards for me, people say that each generation is stronger than the next, and our family's ancestral craftsmanship has regressed a lot to my generation. To be comparable to the luminous cups fired by my ancestors, I still feel that I am so far behind. ”

After Uncle Zhong welcomed everyone in, he handed a cup of hot tea brewed in front of the kung fu tea table to Shen Qingcheng, Bai Yu, Ouyang Jie, and Zhou Qingyang. "Come, Pinpin, this is the Jingyang Fu brick tea that my friend just sent."

Shen Qingcheng felt that Zhongli in front of him had a feeling of familiarity at first sight, and after he took a sip of Jingyang Fu brick tea, he read out what his master said in his memory. "Since ancient times, Lingbei has not planted tea, only Jingyang brick tea. Uncle Zhong, we really came by coincidence. ”

Shen Qingcheng remembered Jingyang Fu Brick Tea so deeply, because his master loved to drink Jingyang Fu Brick Tea, so he wrote it down.

Ouyang Jie smelled the fragrance of tea, and there was a smell of Poria cocos, "Uncle Zhong, how can the taste of this tea soup have the taste of Poria cocos?" ”

Zhongli made the tea for everyone again, and he reconnected the teapot with water, "This Jingyang Fu brick tea body is tightly knotted, its color is black and brown oily, the golden flowers are lush, the fragrance is long-lasting, the old fragrance is revealed, the clear red is thick, the mellow is sweet and smooth, it has the effect of eliminating the greasy meat and relieving the heat of barley, and is known as the "mysterious tea" and "tea of life" on the ancient Silk Road. ”

Cao Yanyan added on the side, "This Uncle Zhong is right, this Jingyang Fu brick tea is also known as the black gold on the Silk Road, because Dunhuang used to be a post station on the ancient Silk Road, so the merchants from the east and west are traded in the market here, and this Jingyang Fu brick tea has also become one of the tea that our Dunhuang locals love to drink." ”

Shen Qingcheng didn't expect that Jingyang Fu brick tea was still so expensive, seeing that his master's death day was coming next month, Shen Qingcheng had an idea in his heart.

"Uncle Zhong, you have a lot of Jingyang Fu brick tea, I want to take some back, I don't want much, my master's death day is coming, he will have this tea when he becomes an adult, so ......"

Before Shen Qingcheng's words were finished, Zhongli enthusiastically agreed by his side. "Expert Shen, you are too polite, I don't have more, it's okay to take out a piece, you wait for me to go and get it for you."

Zhongli is also a lover, as soon as he heard that Shen Qingcheng was asking for Jingyang Fu brick tea for the sake of his master's death, he immediately cut his love.

Zhou Qingyang didn't know the value of Jingyang Fu brick tea, and when he heard Zhongli say that there was too much, he felt strange when he took out a small piece. "Miss Cao, isn't this Jingyang Fu brick tea hard to buy outside?"

Cao Yanyan patiently explained, "Jingyang Fu brick tea, also known as Fengzi tea, Jingyang brick, is a kind of black tea pressed tea in the reprocessed tea. The Jingyang Fu tea process is complex, with as many as 29 tea building processes, which makes Jingyang Fu brick tea still precious. Although modern tea production enterprises and output have increased compared with before, there are still a few that really belong to the top goods. ”

Ouyang Jie has always remembered the glow-in-the-dark cup, so he doesn't seem to care much about Jingyang Fu brick tea.

Ouyang Jie got up and walked over to the Bogu frame next to him, he reached out and picked up a luminous cup, looking left and right, he always felt as if the amount in his hand was not quite right.

"Miss Cao, come and see how this luminous cup feels so light in your hand, shouldn't it be a little heavy in my impression?"

Cao Yanyan took the luminous cup in Ouyang Jie's hand and looked at it, she didn't dare to answer, and was busy replying. "Expert Ouyang, I can't tell you about the color and material of this luminous cup. When Uncle Zhong comes back in a while, I'll let Uncle Zhong tell you. ”

Shen Qingcheng only knew about the luminous cup on paper, and this was the first time he had seen it.

He took the luminous cup in Cao Yanyan's hand, looked it up and down, and then looked at the color of the jade, the material of the jade was the same material as the mountain material that Lei Zhe carved the head of the Buddha statue for him.

Shen Qingcheng had a question in his heart, and he wanted to ask carefully when Zhongli came back.

"Expert Shen, come, you can put it away, my Jingyang Fu brick tea is brewed by the descendants of the tea art, and it is not sold on weekdays."

Zhongli handed the wrapped Jingyang Fu brick tea to Shen Qingcheng.

"Uncle Zhong, I don't know what kind of jade the luminous cup you put on the Bogu shelf, it feels very thin and moist." Shen Qingcheng put the brick tea behind the backpack he carried with him, and asked Zhongli the question in his heart just now.

Zhongli picked up the luminous cup and explained it to everyone. "The raw material of this luminous cup, I use the best Qilian Mountain jade finely carved, its decoration is natural, the cup is as thin as paper, bright as a mirror, smooth inside and outside, and the jade color is transparent and bright. Because of its light texture, it feels good in the hand. ”

Because Shen Qingcheng was born as a Buddhist carver, the materials carved most on weekdays are wood, stone and mountain jade.

"Uncle Zhong, you said this is Qilian Mountain Jade? Do you have a big mountain material? ”

Shen Qingcheng wanted to find out whether the mountain material that Lei Zhe got from Gua Ge was Qilian Mountain Jade.
