Chapter 57: Drinking Tea
At half past six the next morning, Tang Chen woke up on time.
And Wang Dongxu also finished Tai Chi and was ready to let someone call Tang Chen.
"Master Wang, do you want to go so early?" Tang Chen asked a little puzzled, he had just finished washing up, looked at the time, and it was not yet seven o'clock.
Wang Dongxu explained: "Nanhai District is still a bit far from Chan City, and today is not a weekend, so if you encounter traffic jams during rush hour, it will be slower, so it is better to leave early......
Tang Chen nodded, didn't say anything, and after Wang Dongxu changed into his kung fu suit, he put on a set of more casual clothes before beckoning Tang Chen to get into the car.
Sure enough, as Wang Dongxu said, the people in Nanhai City woke up very early, even if they were more than an hour early, they only rushed to the Xingyun Building.
After parking the car, Wang Dongxu and Tang Chen entered the Xingyun Building side by side, and a waiter immediately came over and asked, "Sir, how many tea places are there?"
"We're waiting for someone, I wonder if he's arrived?"
Wang Dongxu is also unpredictable, after all, Zhang Yuanfu has always liked to arrive early.
At this moment, Wang Dongxu's phone rang.
"Boss Zhang...... You're here, what's so embarrassing! Oh, yes, I'm coming!"
Tang Chen looked around and found that the Xingyun Building was decorated with classical decoration, flowing water in the attic, and a guqin with Chinese paintings, and the decoration was elegant. And most of the people who come to drink morning tea are more gentle, and they will not make loud noises, and the environment is very good.
"Pretty girl, we're going to the xx box......"
"Yes, gentlemen, please come with me. ”
Tang Chen nodded and praised: "The architecture here is very charming!"
"That's, did you see the pair of stone lions in front of the door? Hehe, the South China Sea Lion King carved it himself, and the pair of lions alone is worth a lot of money. The decoration in this is said to be a natural old material, and it costs no less than two million. The architectural style is in the form of traditional Cantonese houses, and many older generations like to come here for tea. Coupled with the good location, it won't take half a year for him to earn back. Wang Dongxu also said with a little emotion.
"Two gentlemen, this is it. ”
"Okay, thank you, pretty girl......" Wang Dongxu knocked lightly on the door of the box, and then twisted the button and walked in.
"Boss Zhang is really early, we're late!" Wang Dongxu saw that Zhang Yuanfu had already boiled boiling water and was ready to make tea, so he hurriedly smiled.
Zhang Yuanfu smiled slightly and said, "It's not even eight o'clock now, Master Wang, you're not late, please take a seat! Hey, this is your disciple, right? I saw you yesterday, and I forgot to ask Master Wang...... " Zhang Yuanfu saw that Tang Chen was young, and he also had the idea of judging people by their appearance.
Wang Dongxu was afraid that Tang Chen would not like it, so he hurriedly said: "Boss Zhang, if I accept such a disciple, I will wake up laughing in my dreams! Don't hide it from Boss Zhang, this is Master Tang Chen, don't look at his young age, his eyesight is really good! I thought that my eyesight was not enough, so I asked Master Tang to help." I was able to find a little bit in Qingkeng Village yesterday, and Master Tang saw it. It's a shame to say, I went to Qingkeng Village five times, and all five times I returned empty-handed. Master Tang only went once, and he found a lot of things......"
Hearing Wang Dongxu's praise for Tang Chen, Zhang Yuanfu also put away his contempt, looked at Tang Chen seriously, and said respectfully: "It's rude Master Tang!"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Master Wang is just exaggerating, how can I be so powerful! It's just that I just debuted, and Master Wang gave my grandfather face, so I said that." ”
Zhang Yuanfu's heart moved and asked, "Master Tang is a family heirloom feng shui?"
"Yes, Master Tang's family inherits Master Lin De of Gao (gao) Prefecture, is the grandson of Master Lin, and his feng shui skills are extraordinary, but the production of magic tools is more exquisite, and there is no shortage of fine products. If Boss Zhang has this need, you can customize it from Master Tang, and you will be satisfied!" Wang Dongxu also knows how to repay the favor and help Tang Chen Zhang start his business. "Boss Zhang, look at the obsidian Guanyin on Master Tang's chest, his aura is restrained, but the effect of attracting wealth and warding off evil spirits is not inferior to other magic weapons. ”
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, he now knew that the pendant that Lin Chao gave him was actually made of obsidian. It is important to know that obsidian is one of the gemstones used in Buddhism to make Buddhist beads and handicrafts, and in traditional Chinese folklore, obsidian is usually used in combination with Pixiu to make various ornaments and ornaments for wearing and placing in the home for fortune and evil spirits and town houses. No wonder this piece of Guanyin has such an aura, it must have been enlightened by a certain monk.
The path of Buddhism is different, Tang Chen's means of inducing qi are probably close to the way of Buddhism, and it is no wonder that this obsidian Guanyin pendant cannot be upgraded to another level, and the aura is conflicting.
Although Zhang Yuanfu didn't understand magic weapons, he believed in Wang Dongxu's vision, and no longer treated Tang Chen as an ordinary young man: "Master Tang is young, he already has such a ability, and he is really terrifying in the future! Come on, drink tea, drink tea, taste this authentic Tieguanyin ......"
Wang Dongxu is a tea taster, after taking the teacup with both hands, he took a sip, tasted it carefully, and sighed: "The soup is golden and translucent, the taste is fresh, the tea rhyme is fragrant and the taste is mellow, the aroma is high and pure, and it should be the king of special Guanyin." He gently put down the teacup, picked up the unmarked tea bag, shook out a few tea leaves and looked at it, and confirmed his judgment: "The cord is fat, even, heavy, and moist, you can't be wrong!"
Zhang Yuanfu smiled, he naturally wouldn't say that this is the best Guanyin King, and it can be sold for thousands of yuan a tael on the market. But in the eyes of a rich man like him, things that cost a few thousand dollars are as worthless as things that cost a few cents. "Master Wang, do you know that 'sighing tea' (the meaning of drinking tea in Cantonese) also has a paragraph of 'Gu Zai' (Gu Zai, the meaning of Cantonese story, telling ancient is telling stories, which is equivalent to storytelling in the north)?"
Tang Chen was not familiar with this, and immediately shook his head.
Zhang Yuanfu was interested, and he didn't rush to ask what they found in Qingkeng Village, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Sigh tea, in fact, comes from the South China Sea." During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a kind of restaurant called 'Yili Pavilion' in the South China Sea, with a wooden sign with the word 'tea talk' written on the door, and the internal equipment was very simple, with wooden tables and benches, serving pastries, and providing guests with a place to rest and talk and eat. Later, 'tea talk' was changed to 'tea house'. The meaning of 'dwelling' probably is to suit the tastes of cultural people or leisure people, and to give them a good place to spend time. Later, after the business grew, it was gradually renamed 'Tea House'. However, ordinary citizens want to sigh for tea, but they can't afford to go to the teahouse, so there is a kind of teahouse called 'Erli Pavilion', which also provides the same snacks to meet the needs of the small citizens of Xingdou. At that time, the tea price of the 'Erli Pavilion' was only two cents, but the tea price of the teahouse was three cents and six cents, a difference of more than ten times, so it was popular at that time that the saying of 'rich upstairs and no money went down'......"
Tang Chen suddenly realized that the people of Guangdong Province like to drink morning tea originated here, and there was such an interesting allusion.
