Chapter 7: The Tea Ceremony

Xu Yang really wanted to know what it was that could make his boss ask for such a look! But he soon knew, because the old man Dongfang Rui took out a white silk from his arms! After opening it, Ye Kai saw that after the white silk was wrapped, it was actually a piece of jade!

Isn't it just a piece of jade, as for it? Xu Yang thought in his heart, but he didn't know that if he said this, it was estimated that he wouldn't want to work here in the future, and even if he could do it here, there would be no future!

"Let me see! I'll take a look first!" Boss Liang didn't go to get his tea, threw the tea set aside, and took the jade plaque in Dongfang Rui's hand with both hands! The jade plaque is really small, 7CM long and 5CM wide!

The pattern is an elderly Confucian sitting quietly in the shade of a tree, with a long beard brushing his chest, holding a chrysanthemum in one hand and a leg in the other, as if he is smelling the chrysanthemum, and seems to be gazing at the autumn chrysanthemum, thoughtful, and natural. Directly in front of him, another old man with his hair in a bun also had a long beard fluttering, holding a pot in both hands and slowly walking under the tree. The old trees are tall and lush, with thatched huts in the background and a babbling stream on the side.

In addition to the few things Xu Yang has learned now, such as the method of looking at ancient coins now, other things are just looking at feelings, it should be said that they are based on feelings! If you let him say one, two, three, it will be really difficult for him.

Now that I see this jade card, I don't know if it's good or bad, but Ye Kai does know that this thing is a good thing, and he knows that it's a good thing just by the lifelike patterns on the carved screen!

"Good things, good things! Rui Lao's "leak" is not small!" Boss Liang and Fang Yun praised Dongfang Rui with a sour tone while admiring the ancient jade plate!

"I said you two guys, just look at the jade, and no one will make a pot of tea for the old man. Dongfang Rui was speechless when he saw the tea set set aside!

Looking back at Boss Liang and Fang Yun, where do you have the kung fu to take care of yourself, your eyes are going to grow in the jade card, although Dongfang Rui said so, but Xu Yang can see the pride on this old man's face!

"Old man Dongfang, if you don't dislike the boy's rough way of making tea, let the boy make you a pot of tea!

Indeed, when Xu Yang was alone at home, he actually learned a lot of useless things, which was said by his old friends in junior high and high school! For example, when he was fine, because he was alone at home, he had finished his homework, and he had no money to go out to be chic like other children, so he had to find something interesting to enrich his entertainment time!

Tea ceremony is one of the skills! It should be said that Xu Yang has already obtained a bit of the true taste of tea in the attainment of tea ceremony! However, every time his sworn friend sees Xu Yang making tea there, he will always fall asleep! In his words: "This tea is still a time-consuming thing to drink!"

In fact, Xu Yang really wanted to pass the time at the beginning, and once watched TV. In the movie clip that I don't know what the name is, two enlightened immortals sit opposite each other in the mountains and drink tea, and that kind of artistic conception makes Xu Yang deeply like it!

If you want to learn, you have to be taught! If you don't have money, it will be difficult for Xu Yang to have no teacher, although the place where he lives is a small county town in the northeast! There will be some high-ranking people there!

Xu Yang was very lucky, and was taught an authentic tea ceremony by an old man who was a master of the tea ceremony! Otherwise, at Xu Yang's active age, how could he have the temperament of a scholar!

"Oh, the little guy can make tea?" Dongfang Rui asked in surprise! Now don't say it's a person of Xu Yang's age, even if you're old, there are few people who know how to make tea!

"I just understand a little, I'm just afraid that you'll be bored sitting there, old man, but let's wait for our boss to read your jade card and let him club for you!

"Hahaha, it's okay! Today my old guy will drink the tea you made!" Dongfang Rui became a little interested in Xu Yang!

"Okay, that's it, old man, wait a while, I don't dare to use our boss's tea set, I'll use the usual tea and tea set to make you a pot!

"Okay! just do as you say!" Dongfang Rui didn't deny it this time, indeed, he now believes that Xu Yang can make tea, but he doesn't believe that the other party understands the tea ceremony!

Xu Yang heard Dongfang Rui agree! Go down immediately, there is good tea in the shopkeeper Sun, although it is definitely not comparable to the boss who took it out, but it shouldn't be a problem to invite someone to drink!

"Old Sun, you have tea here!Lend me a set of tea sets and some tea leaves!" Ye Kai said!

"What do you want this for?" asked Shopkeeper Sun, puzzled.

"That's the case, the old man Dongfang Rui wants to drink tea, but our boss is now appreciating the jade plate that the old man took out, and it seems that he won't come back to his senses for a while, and the old man is sitting there by himself, the boss's tea is too good to be private, so I want to take some tea here and make a pot to drink first!"

Xu Yang didn't say that he wanted to make tea for others, otherwise he would definitely be scolded!

"That's what happened! Hehe, our boss, this must have seen something good!" "Shopkeeper Sun knows his boss too well! He took a little tea from himself, and it seems that although Shopkeeper Sun is not as good as Boss Liang, it is not ordinary!

He also took a set of tea sets of the Republic of China that he usually used! Let Xu Yang serve them! After putting the things away, Xu Yang came outside to fetch water and carefully washed his hands. Dongfang Rui was obviously stunned when he saw Xu Yang washing his hands!

At this time, Xu Yang's face and temperament on his body have undergone fundamental changes, to say that Xu Yang is usually a young man with the temperament of a scholar who loves to talk, laugh and be diligent.

But now it is different, Xu Yang's face shows a faint smile, and the whole person gives people a sense of tranquility and elegance! Wash your hands and carefully wipe the water on your hands with a clean white towel!

Walking in front of Dongfang Rui, the feet are slightly separated from each other, the body is straight, the upper jaw on the head is slightly closed, the eyes are level, the shoulders are relaxed, the hands are crossed (the left hand is on the right hand), and the lower abdomen is placed!

Looking at Xu Yang's standing posture, Dongfang Rui's eyes flashed! After that, Ye Kai first saluted Dongfang Rui! Xu Yang devoted himself to the tea art, and Xu Yang's technique did not have a trace of jerky!

Each movement should be round, soft, and coherent, and there should be ups and downs, virtual and real, and rhythm between the movements. Dongfang Rui deeply felt the charm of the tea from Xu Yang's movements.

Dongfang Rui's current expression is completely devoted to Xu Yang's tea ceremony performance, seeing that Xu Yang's age is less than twenty years old, with such a high level of tea ceremony cultivation at such a young age, even people of Dongfang Rui's age dare not say that their tea ceremony can be higher than Xu Yang!

From the first cleansing of hands at the beginning, all the way to the tenth course of serving tea. Xu Yang's movements are like flowing water, which is very pleasing to the eye in the eyes of others!

"Good! Good!" After watching Xu Yang's performance, Dongfang Rui shouted twice, and then smelled the fragrance and tasted the tea! After three sips of slow drinking, Dongfang Rui said to Xu Yang: "Come! Xiao Xu sat down together, accompanied the old man to taste tea together, although the tea is just ordinary, but in your technique, you have brought out the tea flavor of this tea!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!Mr. Dongfang, just sit down, I'll just stand, I'll be busy when the boss has something to do!

"Okay! I don't force you, come and tell the old man, where did you learn from this tea ceremony? It's really not easy for you to have such a tea ceremony cultivation at your age!"

"Old man, you are praising me, it is a shame for me to take out this bit of skill, my master and his old man are our very ordinary old man, so that he has no name. As for me, I really like the tea ceremony. I feel that when I am at leisure, I can calm down, make myself a good pot of tea, sit there and sip tea, and feel a little quiet, which is the happiest thing!"

Xu Yang's expression was not a trace of artificiality, he closed his eyes when he said these words, reminiscing about that feeling, he really achieved that kind of artistic conception only twice from the beginning of learning the tea ceremony, that is a kind of baptism that starts from the heart!
