Volume 2 Rivers, Lakes and Seas Chapter 12 Good tea should be a good utensil
Grandpa Goda sat on the chair, smiled bitterly, and said, "There is a pond of dead fish in the back garden, and it is estimated that it will start to rot at this time." ”
Master didn't know that the wood carving had fallen into the pond, so he was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and asked, "The wood carving fell into the pond?" ”
Grandpa nodded.
Master hurriedly took a few of us to the back garden, while Grandpa Godfather stayed in Kong Yan's boudoir to rest, after all, he was very old, and this acupuncture treatment took a lot of energy.
Don't look at the godfather is just a simple needle, which needs to use the Qi and thoughts, which is not at all perceptible to ordinary people, so many veteran Chinese medicine practitioners, acupuncture, often intentionally control the number of times a day, this is not that people are pretentious, but can not afford excessive consumption.
As soon as we stepped into the door of the backyard, a rotten stench came to our faces, and the senior brother and sister invariably pinched their noses and retreated, and I was the only one who followed the master into the courtyard.
This taste is not much better than that in the wolf demon cave......
Master didn't care about the senior brothers and sisters, and went straight to the pond.
When I looked closely, I saw that all the fish in the pond had turned into carbon black, and at this moment they were rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the belly and intestines had all turned into white bubbles, and only the thickest part of the back and head still had a little remaining, as if the pool was not water but concentrated sulfuric acid.
This is the Hemolysis Curse...... If Master God's grandfather didn't treat him in time, Kong Yan estimated that it would have ended up in a similar way at this time.
But the question is, how do we get that wood carving up?
I thought for a moment and said, "Master, let's light the water in the pond with a fire, I see that a few bowls of black water are like boiling oil when they encounter fire, and I guess the water in the pool is the same." ”
"No," said Master, who immediately rejected my proposal, "not to mention whether the fire will burn down the surrounding buildings, and once the water in the pond is boiled, there will be no more wood carvings." ”
"Master, what do you want that wood carving for?" I never understood why Master and they had to find this wood carving.
The master glanced at the roof and said, "We need to find out what the relationship between the evil cult and the wood carving is, and maybe we can find the person who cast the curse through the wood carving, although the wood carving is evil, it is a very important clue." ”
"Master, I don't think there's any way to get that wood carving, do you want someone to catch it?" I couldn't think of a way to do it, so I asked.
With a smug smile on his face, Master glanced at me and said, "You see, it is still effective to let you go on your own, at least you learn to take the initiative to think about problems, instead of blindly relying on me, you are better than your brothers and sisters in this regard, and you blame me as soon as you meet." ”
I looked embarrassed, I confessed my mistakes, my head knocked down, how could Master still care about this matter!
Master continued, "If we don't take the wood carving, someone will naturally go. When he said this, a sinister and cunning look suddenly appeared on his face.
"By the way, Master, when my brother and I were burning the fire outside, we saw a man in black flashing by." I said.
Master's eyes narrowed, and he pulled me and said, "Let's go, let's take Kong Yu to Taihu Lake for a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake." ”
After that, we went back with our senior brothers and sisters, and pulled Kong Yu, who was not yet in good shape, and went out, Li Mo originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by the master and asked him to be optimistic about the pond.
Kong Yu had just dispelled the evil spirits, and the whole person was wilting, and while following us, his legs and stomachs kept fighting, and he looked trembling and pitiful.
We didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Master's gourd, and we all followed it around.
In addition to the fishing boat wharf, there is also a simple commercial street by the Taihu Lake, some snack restaurants and specialty shops, but it is not the tourist season, so it looks a little deserted, but even in the off-season, there are some tourists, walking slowly on the street.
The master took Kong Yu along the street for a hundred meters, and seeing that he was almost at the end, he turned around and entered a tea room.
It is said that it is a tea room, in fact, the decoration is very simple, it is a farmer's house rebuilt, a three-story small building, and there is a very spacious balcony on the top of the building, for tourists to drink tea and bask in the sun.
The boss was looking at the newspaper leisurely, and there were all kinds of tea leaves in celadon jars on the counter, and when he saw someone coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "A few guest officers, please." ”
The master was not polite, and went straight to the balcony on the third floor, and when he looked left and right, the view was not bad, so he sat down at the table. Kong Yu walked a long way and finally rested and took a breath, but the hygiene here is not very good, there are oil stains and rust spots on the stool and table, Kong Yu frowned when he saw it, a big family like him, naturally did not experience the life of the lower class people, fortunately, Kong Yu did not have a habit of cleanliness.
As soon as Master sat down, he asked, "Boss, do you have any good tea here?" ”
The boss said: "Well, we have all kinds of tea here, Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, Anji white tea, Sanqi rain buds, Mogan yellow buds, are all local specialty teas, the best is Wenshan Imperial Tea, which is the royal tribute tea." ”
"Okay, bring us five cups of Wenshan Imperial Wattle and a plate of sunflower seeds." Master said with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, everyone, wait a minute." With that, the boss turned and left.
Kong Yu couldn't help muttering: "What good tea can be in such a small place?" It's also Wenshan Yuxing, that thing has a production of less than 100 catties a year, and I can't get it. ”
The Master smiled and said nothing.
After about half an hour, the tea was served, made of an authentic purple clay pot, a complete set of kung fu tea sets, dragged on a wooden plate, a palm-sized purple clay pot, steaming, looking very plain in appearance, but the color is real purple red.
The tea has been brewed by the boss. After all, not all guests understand tea, so the boss has to do it himself.
However, Kong Yu is an expert in tea, and when he saw the purple clay pot, he glared at him and asked, "Boss, are you Yixing Dingshu purple sand?" ”
The boss is a Mediterranean man with a pair of reading glasses, and he doesn't look special, and he was also surprised by Kong Yu's inquiry, and said: "Yo, you are an expert, you can see the origin of the purple clay pot at a glance?" ”
The master also continued: "Boss, your little shop is really golden. ”
The boss smiled and said: "I have always liked to drink tea, so I have done some research, because I am really bored at home when I retire, so I set up a shop here to make a teahouse." What kind of tea with what pot and what water do we have here, a few of them are connoisseurs at a glance, so I naturally won't slack off, this Wenshan Imperial Rice has to be paired with Dingshu purple sand and Benshan morning dew. ”
As he spoke, the boss put the tea set up, and then took three plates of melons and fruits, a stack of sunflower seeds, a stack of walnuts, and a stack of fragrant trees, and said: "Give a few more dishes of snacks and two plates, you can use them slowly, and call me at any time when the tea is gone." ”
Looking at the melons and fruits on the table, Kong Yu was messy, because these few items were high-end goods at first glance, and the price was expensive.
It's really the right thing the boss said, good tea must be accompanied by good things, but the environment for drinking tea is not good.
The master looked at Kong Yu's face in disbelief, and said while pouring tea: "Eat, Hushi is the second hometown of the tea saint, there are not a few people who understand tea, and there are many people who live in seclusion. ”
Kong Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you say it?" ”
Master said: "There is a storage room next to the stairs on the first floor, and the door is opened, and I see that different tea leaves are stored in different ways, such as iron cans, charcoal, and ceramics, and they are equipped with instruments to regulate the temperature. ”
Kong Yu looked stunned, and realized that he had met the big man of the tea ceremony, so he hurriedly said: "Then I have to deal with this boss well." ”
Naturally, I didn't know how to use the tea ceremony, but when I saw that Master had poured the tea, I felt a little thirsty, thinking that such a small cup of tea could quench my thirst. I took it in my hand and drank it all, and my senior brother was the same as me, and he licked his lips and said, "It's nothing special!" ”
The master glared at each other, snapped twice crisply, slapped watermelon, and said, "You two know a fart, how can you drink a good cup of tea like this, look at your senior sister!" ”
We turned our heads to look, only to see the senior sister shake the teacup in her hand, put it under her nose and smell it for a while, then took a small sip, looked at us with a smile on her face, and took care of herself and swallowed the melon seeds.
To be honest, the two of us were shocked, isn't the tea cold after such a set of actions!
Master and Kong Yu also drank tea, and the two of them said in unison: "Good tea!" ”
While eating melons and fruits, we listened to the master and Kong Yu chatting, which at first glance looked quite leisurely.
However, I found that Master's eyes kept sweeping the street outside, and I didn't know what medicine Master was selling in his gourd, and I didn't know where to start.
On the contrary, Kong Yu seemed to be a little worried about his granddaughter, so he couldn't hold back his patience and asked, "Old Sun, you didn't really pull me out just to taste tea, right?" ”
The master glanced at him, but did not answer, and his gaze fell elsewhere.
We can feel that as soon as Kong Yu's question came out, the atmosphere plummeted a little.
After being silent like this for about ten minutes, the master suddenly stood up and said, "Tian'er, Yunyi, you come with me, Yue'er, you and Lao Kong stay here." ”
After that, we followed Master downstairs, and when the boss saw us coming down and thought we were leaving, he came up to inquire about us, and when he learned that we had just gone out, he sat back down at the counter.
As soon as Master went out, he walked straight to a small two-story restaurant diagonally across the street.
As soon as he entered the door, the owner of the shop immediately came up to greet him, but the master did not pay attention to him, but went straight to the second floor, the small restaurant is the structure of an old-style wooden restaurant, so the second floor is ventilated on all sides, the view is very good, it is not a meal at the moment, there are not many people in this restaurant, only a few people scattered in the corner, the master went up to the second floor without saying a word and walked to a table near the street, there was a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes, about thirty years old, drinking wine and eating with relish.
Seeing the master appear in front of him menacingly, he raised his head with a look of surprise and asked, "This table...... Nobody does it. ”
The boss also followed us closely and said, "Oh, ladies and gentlemen, there are vacant seats everywhere in the shop, please take a seat first, don't disturb other guests." ”
The master suddenly reined in his momentum, smiled slightly and said, "We are acquaintances, boss, you don't have to worry about it, I'm here to catch up." ”
The boss was stunned for a moment and observed back and forth between the master and the middle-aged man, and then retreated.
The master was not polite, and sat down directly.
The middle-aged man was a little confused, and asked tentatively, "Do we know each other?" ”
The master didn't answer his question directly, but pointed to Kong Yu, who was diagonally opposite the third floor, and asked, "Do you know that person?" ”
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at it, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I don't know." ”
"Okay, then I'll argue with you about why he's drinking tea there so much." Master slapped the table and said.
Then, he began to talk about Kong Yanzhong's evil spirit, Kong Yanzhong's blood-dissolving curse, and the process of being lifted by him and his godfather.
The middle-aged man listened the whole time, and instead of showing a trace of surprise or even disbelief, he seemed extremely calm and composed.
When ordinary people hear this kind of thing, they either gossip in their hearts, or think that the master is crazy, or they express their fright, but this person listens to it like the wind in his ears, and his face does not change, but he listens with great interest.
In the end, the master's words suddenly changed and said, "Although you have been watching us intentionally or unintentionally when you were eating just now, I still have to tell you that no matter who I am in the ancient arts, no matter who wants to murder Kong Yu, give me a little restraint, otherwise, there will be no good fruits to eat." ”
The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said, "Are you finished?" When you're done, don't stop me from eating, get out of here! Neuropathy! ”
With a gloomy face, the master stood up and looked around, but without speaking, he turned around and went downstairs.
Maybe in the eyes of others, it was just the master who was harassing this man who was eating the whole time, but as the master spoke, many sensitive words popped out, and this man's expression was too calm, and only when he knew something evil in his heart, the hemolysis curse and other things in the circle, he would naturally skip it and not show the slightest emotion.
I don't know if Master has achieved his goal, but at least we can confirm that this person is very likely to have something to do with the murder of Kong Qi, and he came here to confirm whether Kong Qi is dead or not, so Master will tell him in front of him that their plan has completely failed.
The mood of hearing this news, it is estimated that as long as this middle-aged man knows, otherwise in the end, his face will not become so ugly, he is not an actor after all, it is too difficult to completely hide his emotions. And the last threat made by the master deliberately omitted the godfather, and even more bluntly stabbed this person's reverse scales - where did the Yeluzi sect come from, and dared to act in front of me!
As soon as we went out, we saw the owner of the tea room standing on the balcony on the third floor waving to us, and Kong Yu and Senior Sister, who were originally sitting there, disappeared inexplicably!
