Chapter 419: Strange Loneliness
"Hahaha, those who know me, Zeng Laoye!"
Zhou Deqing was obviously very happy, "We can't fill our stomachs just by drinking tea?" It's almost noon now, I'll let you prepare some meals, let's eat together!"
Zeng Lao hurriedly stood up and said, "No, no, I've been bothered for so long, we should go back......"
"Don't worry, if you come here, you will be safe, how much is a meal worth? To be honest, it's not enough for me to pay for a pot of tea!" Zhou Deqing restrained his smile and said sincerely, "If you don't eat here, I will think that I have neglected the two of you......"
Zeng Lao was a little hesitant, Tang Chen was the only one who looked forward to Zeng Lao, and he could only wait and see what happened.
"That'...... I can only continue to bother, but I need to make a phone call and get to know my family. Zeng Lao made an apologetic gesture and stepped out of the private room gently.
There were only Zhou Deqing and Tang Chen left in the private room, and it was not the first time that Tang Chen had faced this kind of business giant, and he didn't have any sense of crampedness. Zhou Deqing seemed to admire Tang Chen very much, and asked, "Little master, how long have you been practicing feng shui?"
"It's only been more than half a year...... Tang Chen said after calculating.
"Then who taught you Feng Shui?" Zhou Deqing poured tea for Tang Chen again, and Tang Chen hurriedly tapped the table with his hand, which was a respect for people.
Tang Chen watched the tea soup roll into the white porcelain cup and said, "My grandfather taught me since I was a child, but unfortunately his old man has passed away......"
"It turned out to be a family history, it's amazing!" Zhou Deqing asked a little curiously, "Looking at your appearance, you shouldn't be very old, right?
"Actually, I just graduated from college...... Tang Chen said a little embarrassed, "I was quite uncomfortable at first, and my income was small." But then, it gradually increased......"
Zhou Deqing nodded to understand that in China, people who walk alone are often under a lot of pressure. Just like when he took over the tea plantation, I don't know how many people poked him in the back, saying that he was spineless, ate soft rice, and even slandered him for "getting rich". In Fujian Province, "entering the rich" is a very ...... It's embarrassing, especially before the reform and opening up. It can be said that the pressure on Zhou Deqing's back is by no means something that ordinary people can withstand.
But Zhou Deqing still succeeded, he seized the opportunity of history and made a beautiful turnaround. The rules of success and defeat are no different in reality, if Zhou Deqing still guards a small tea garden, instead of becoming a "tea king", then he will still have to bear the "stigma" now.
But Zhou Deqing withstood the pressure and used his diligence and wisdom to create the best era of Qingxi Tieguanyin. Strictly speaking, the tea trade in the entire Fujian Province is booming, and Zhou Deqing has a lot of credit. In the blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed, and Zhou Deqing's business is still booming, and he has established a deep cooperative relationship with tea merchants and tea shops all over China. For this reason, even if Zhou Deqing has retired now, he is still recognized as the leader of the industry and a well-deserved tea king.
What's even more rare is that Zhou Deqing didn't hide his experience in the first half of his life at all, and often used himself as an example to warn everyone not to go the wrong way. Or that if you realize that you have gone astray, you must quickly correct it.
Anyway, for more than 30 years, Zhou Deqing has been keen on charity and has helped many people in need, so he is naturally respected.
It's a pity that Tang Chen doesn't know anything about his deeds, but this doesn't prevent Tang Chen from respecting Zhou Deqing. Tang Chen's tenet of being a man is, "I respect the old and do not respect the old without virtue, and I love the young but not the uneducated." If Zhou Deqing was a high-minded and invincible old man, Tang Chen would not respect him. But Zhou Deqing's behavior was not in line with the number of etiquette, and Tang Chen naturally wanted to double the number of etiquette to respect him.
The two seemed to have forgotten their friendship and chatted without restraint. There was a pause in the middle because Zhou Deqing asked the waiter to come over and instructed her to prepare the meal.
At this time, Zeng Lao also came back.
"Old Zhou, I'm sorry, I walked away for a while. Zeng Lao said sincerely, to be honest, to be able to make a strong tea king, I don't know how many people dream of things, and Zeng Lao is no exception.
Zhou Deqing smiled: "It's okay, I also sent a WeChat message to my granddaughter, so that she won't worry about me ......"
Zeng Lao said with a smile: "Now WeChat is used as text messages. ”
"Isn't it, but young people nowadays are also very good. Like my granddaughter, she insisted on coming back to inherit the family business and inherit the Tieguanyin culture, and she didn't even have a little personal space. When I see this old man, I feel distressed!" Zhou Deqing said this, but the pride in his expression was so obvious.
Zeng Lao smiled and said, "Then your granddaughter can also distinguish the type of Tieguanyin?"
"That's of course, not to mention Tieguanyin, Golden Gui, Hairy Crab, Benshan, Daye Oolong, Mei Zhan...... She speaks in a clear and coherent manner, which many people can't compare!" Zhou Deqing said with a fluttering eyebrow.
Zeng Lao smiled: "I just like the taste of Tieguanyin, can you tell me the exact classification of Tieguanyin?"
Zhou De cleaned up his thoughts, and then said: "According to the degree of fermentation and production process, Tieguanyin's finished products can be roughly divided into three types: clear fragrance type, strong fragrance type, and aged fragrance type.
The fragrant Tieguanyin, the taste of the fragrant type is relatively light, the tip of the tongue is slightly sweet, biased towards the modern process manufacturing method, and currently has the largest share in the market. The degree of fermentation of tea is low, the original freshness of tea is maintained to the greatest extent, the color of tea is green, the fragrance is fresh, the taste is fresh, the clear soup is green water, with the natural floral fragrance, the fragrant tea pays attention to the color and freshness, the clear soup green water, has a strong ornamentality, and the fragrance is elegant, it is the first choice for tea lovers who pursue freshness and light elegance. However, for tea lovers with heavier flavors, the soup may feel that the soup is on the bland side. Due to the cold nature of new tea, do not drink too much, otherwise there will be a certain degree of stomach injury and insomnia.
Tieguanyin, which has a mellow taste, high aroma and sweetness, is a product made by roasting and reprocessing tea leaves in traditional processes. The strong fragrance type Tieguanyin has the characteristics of 'fragrant, thick, mellow, sweet', the color is dark and bright, the soup is golden, the aroma is pure, the taste is heavy, relative to the fragrance type, the strong fragrance type Tieguanyin is warm, and has the effect of quenching thirst and generating Jin, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach.
Aged fragrance type Tieguanyin, also known as old tea or ripe tea, is made of strong fragrance or light fragrance type Tieguanyin after long-term storage and repeated reprocessing, which is also semi-fermented tea. This tea is mellow, soft, and has a distinct 'aged taste', and it is like an old medicinal wine, which is called 'natural health products'. Aged Tieguanyin not only has the effect of green tea, but also has the effect of treating colds, indigestion, lowering blood pressure and lipids, and preventing and treating diabetes, which has been confirmed by experts. The characteristics and taste of aged Tieguanyin are close to Pu'er tea, black tea and dark tea, and there is a heavy history and cultural precipitation, and it is also the most valuable Tieguanyin.
Charcoal-roasted Tieguanyin is a kind of Tieguanyin strong fragrance, which is also the last process to change the quality of the finished oolong tea processing. Generally speaking, this kind of Tieguanyin is also more expensive.
Now there is a kind of rhyme type of Tieguanyin on the market, the tea aroma is unique, compared with the fragrant type of tea, it has a unique mellow taste, the tea is also relatively fragrant, and the color of the tea is green, the soup is yellow-green, it is ornamental, and it is the first choice for hospitality. However, the soup is not as soft and smooth as the fragrant type. The rhyme type Tieguanyin has the characteristics of both strong fragrance type and light fragrance type, which is suitable for hospitality. But I personally don't recommend this kind of Tieguanyin, after all, the taste is not very pure......"
