Chapter 22: The Uninvited Old Man
"Hmm. Brother www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, I know, I'll go back and take a look in the next few days, what? No, okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow" I sat in the courtyard of my hometown, talking to my eldest brother and playing chess to my second brother.
"Okay, okay, okay, I know, then you're busy, okay, okay, I know, hang up!"
As soon as he hung up the phone, the second brother laughed and said: "I feel that the boss is like a child to you now, and it seems that the boss has some hobbies of acting as an elder." ”
"Second brother, forget it, I don't bother to talk about you, okay, don't talk about those useless, play chess, play chess, you didn't move" After speaking, I looked carefully at the chessboard, and I wanted to find out what clues.
The second brother waved his hand when he saw it: "Look, look, look, look fart, I can still use that kind of trick to play chess for you, I think you want to take the opportunity to regret chess."
The second brother said my heart in one sentence, it's not that I'm not good at chess, I think I also won awards back then, although it's been three or four years since now, but I can't ignore my ability, but now when I meet the second brother, I really can't do it, all kinds of calculations, all kinds of tricks for me, the key is that I can't find out, just like he has long known the strategy in my heart.
I didn't find any clues after watching for a long time, the second brother has been staring at me, so that I can't do anything at all, I can't see that I have no choice but to accept fate, I moved between my legs, kicked the table and ruined the chess game, and at the same time said: "Don't play, this chess game is ruined, I can't play no", no way, there is only one cannon left on the chessboard that can move, and he is stared at by his horse, and there are few who are killed, and at least there is a light veteran left.
"You kid, you can't play with me, you're still coming to Yin, forget it, don't worry about you, go and bring the teapot, Xinyang's hair tip is just right at this time" Saying that, the second brother leaned on the back and became the second uncle.
When I saw the appearance of the second brother, although I sneered at him, I could only do it, ran into the Westinghouse, and brought out the teapot.
......
The second brother withdrew the chessboard aside, and then put the teapot in the center of the table seriously, according to my observation, this teapot is by no means ordinary, it looks like a purple sand pot, but it is definitely the best, and it will be sold at the auction, at least tens of thousands of yuan.
The Zijin teapot is in it, and the six tea sets are placed next to it, looking at it has a different taste, not to mention that there is still a high-quality Xinyang hair tip in it, the second brother lightly picked up the teapot, poured two and then said: "Si'er remember to drink only half a cup in order to experience the taste of tea later." ”
Although I am not an elegant person, but I also know that people who understand tea attach importance to the way of tea, and do not dare to disobey the slightest intention, drink half a cup, and put the rest back, all say that tea has a bitter feeling, but I did not taste half of the bitterness, only the fragrance is comfortable, the feeling of relaxation and pleasure, and with the chill of this winter, it is even more evocative.
Just when I had the urge to pour another lamp, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.
"Knock" "Knock" "Knock" ......
There were about five or six sounds, I was a little puzzled, no one usually comes to this hometown, I glanced at the second brother, and the second brother also said that he didn't know, but the second brother still stood up and opened the courtyard door.
I glanced at it, and the person who came was old, and his eyebrows and beard were gray, but he was not a person I was familiar with, nor did he look like a person in the village, and he didn't seem to be familiar with the appearance of the second brother, so I walked over as soon as I saw it.
The second brother looked the man up and down and then asked, "Uncle, what are you ......?"
The old man sniffed twice and then said: "Don't worry, I have no malice, I am just attracted by the fragrance of tea", as soon as the old man's words came out, I couldn't help but say in my heart: "This is true, malicious, if you say that you have malicious, you will not be disabled."
But this is also thinking in my heart, I can't say it, and my mouth is still very respectful: "Uncle, you mean you want to come in and have a cup of tea." ”
I was actually polite, but the old man was not polite at all and hurriedly answered: "If you don't mind, then the old man will bother" As soon as the words were finished, the old man walked in alone and went straight to the teapot on the table.
As soon as I saw that the old man was really unkind, he also claimed to be old, so he didn't fight in one place, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to reason with him, but before I could make a move, the second brother stopped me and gave me a look, and finally in line with the Chinese nation's virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, I still endured.
The second brother put on his smiling face and walked over, who knew that at this time, the old man actually poured himself a cup for himself, drank it alone, and looked at his appearance and enjoyed it very much, the second brother looked at it and asked with interest: "Uncle, how is this tea." ”
"The bitterness is too light, and the real tea taste is also covered by the sourness, but it's a pity that the new leaves after the rain" The old man tasted it with his eyes closed.
Originally, I was angry, as soon as I heard this, my fire was rubbing, and I almost didn't go crazy on the spot, but who knows, the second brother didn't mind at all, but said respectfully as if he had met a bosom friend: "Senior, I was rude just now, I apologized to you, and I dare to ask how this tea should be brewed to cover up the sourness." ”
"You can't cover it, you have a problem with what you say, so let's do it, you soak the tea in snow water for half a minute and then try it, if there is no snow and ice water, you can make do with it" The old man chattered like a great fairy.
"Thank you seniors for your advice," he said, and the second brother picked up the teapot and ran to the West House.
As soon as the second brother left, I sat down and stared at the old man with both eyes, trying to see something, but after half a minute, I didn't see anything, not just that he pretended to be too deep, or that he was originally an ordinary old man, but from his opinion on tea, he shouldn't be a layman, maybe my practice is not enough!
Maybe the old man also found out that I was looking at him, so he opened his eyes and looked at me, this look instantly frightened me, this old man's eyes seemed to have something, and it didn't seem to be, but it made me have a feeling of being completely seen through, there was no secret at all, it seemed that everything in his eyes was under his control.
This feeling was so permeable that it made me gasp a little, and I hurriedly looked away from my eyes, but at the moment when I looked away, I seemed to see a momentary pause in his eyes, yes, I was sure that it was a pause, and the look that would not have appeared in his eyes actually appeared in the eyes of this old man, which made me doubt the identity of the old man.
Finally relieved, I hurriedly stood up, on the one hand, to resolve the embarrassment, on the other hand, I really didn't want to stay alone with this old man, but before I could move, the old man suddenly said: "Wei Qingyun, go to the sick, hehe, can you play a game of chess with the old man"
"Ahh You say I" suddenly surprised me, just wanted to refuse, the old man had already put the chessboard on the table, I looked at it, and wanted to refuse again, I saw the old man make a 'please' gesture to me, I saw that I couldn't hide, but also sat down hard.
As soon as I set up the chessboard, I heard the second brother's heavenly voice: "Senior, I have already soaked according to what you said, let's try it"
When I looked back, I saw the second brother guarding the teapot in his hand like a treasure, walking this way.
The old man smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Now that the chessboard has been set up, why don't you drink tea and play a game with the old man." ”
"That's great, it's great to be able to play against someone like you who understands tea, the younger generation really can't ask for it" Saying that, the second brother hurriedly pushed me away and sat there, but this also made me breathe a sigh of relief.
After the second brother sat down, he poured half a cup of tea himself, and then said: "You are an elder and a guest, or please put it first"
The old man nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and then moved his index finger, and the veteran moved.
