Chapter 415: Guan Gong patrols the city
Zhou Deqing didn't expect Zeng Lao's reaction to be so big, and he didn't seem to have such a big reaction as a party.
Maybe Zeng Lao also realized that he was a little out of shape, smiled bitterly, and then said: "Old Zhou, don't be surprised, I was also said so......"
"Oh?"
seemed to have found a soulmate, and Zhou Deqing suddenly became interested: "You have the same experience?"
Tang Chen said with a smile: "Old Zhou, this old man, but the founder of Nanhai Mahogany Furniture Factory, a one-handed carver, is even more incomparable!"
"Ah, I'm glad to be happy!" Zhou Deqing stretched out his hand, and Zeng Lao also hurriedly stretched out his hand, and the two hands were held together.
In the end, Zeng Lao wanted to take out his business card to exchange, who knew that he came out in a hurry, and he didn't expect to use a business card. Besides, since the popularization of WeChat, Zeng Lao has retired again, and he is no longer used to using business cards. If you want to make a friend, the most you can do is to scan a QR code, add a WeChat, and then exchange your mobile phone number......
Maybe he saw Zeng Lao's embarrassment, Zhou Deqing smiled: "Zeng Lao, right? Don't be so anxious, there is my phone number on the business card, send me a text message, or you can add a WeChat ...... according to your mobile phone number."
"You always play WeChat?"
Tang Chen was a little surprised, this was already the time he had seen more than one old man of this age playing WeChat.
Zhou Deqing said with a smile: "What's so surprising? You young people can play, I can't play? My granddaughter said, live to learn all the time, learn from you young people to play WeChat, in order to maintain a childlike heart!"
"That's right!" Zeng Lao agreed, "If you don't study hard, you will be left behind by the times." Now that the times have developed, we old men can't hold you young people back?"
"Hahaha......"
Zhou Deqing had a feeling of running into a confidant, and Zeng Lao and Tang Chen's defensive hearts gradually disappeared.
The three of them were talking and talking, but they were shocked to find that after standing in the middle of the street for a long time, the sun was about to shine on their heads, and beads of sweat began to ooze from their foreheads.
"Why don't you go to my teahouse and talk while drinking tea?"
In the face of Zhou Deqing's suggestion, Zeng Lao and Tang Chen were also respectful and obedient.
Zhou Deqing's teahouse, located in the center of Quanzhou City, can be said to be the most prosperous area. In such a prosperous area, investing in a tea house seems to be a bit of a loss. But Zhou Deqing's power is here. The teahouse is only the three floors below, and the decoration is antique. The upper five floors are all used for office work, and it is also the branch and sales headquarters of Daguan Tea Garden in Quanzhou Prefecture.
It is precisely because of the fame in Quanzhou that for more than 20 years, the Tieguanyin of Daguan Tea Garden has been well-known at home and abroad, and has become a veritable "Tieguanyin King". And Qingxi Xianghua has also become China's "hometown of Tieguanyin".
Entering this teahouse, Zhou Deqing took them to the third floor, a private room. It can be seen that the decoration of this private room is different from other places, it should be the place where Zhou Deqing receives guests, high-end atmosphere and grade, which is completely in line with Zhou Deqing's identity as the "tea king".
However, Tang Chen was dressed in "shabby" clothes, which looked a little out of place in this environment, but fortunately, Zhou Deqing didn't pay attention to it, or didn't care how Tang Chen was dressed. Although Zhou Deqing is the "King of Tea", his behavior is very kind and his smile is cute. With his current status and rich legendary experience, he no longer needs to pay attention to the image of others, as long as it is someone he can see, he will become his friend. Even he himself will not deliberately maintain his image, he can do whatever he wants and go with the flow.
Without Zhou Deqing's instructions, the waiter had already brought the best "Tieguanyin King", and Zhou Deqing made tea by himself, which made Zeng Lao and Tang Chen a little "flattered".
"Don't be inhibited, I make friends as I please. As long as we can talk, even if it's a beggar, I'll invite him to tea!"
Zhou Deqing quipped, but Tang Chen was stunned.
"The reason why big people are big people is because of their minds?" Tang Chen thought in his heart, whether it was Zeng Lao, Zhang Yuanfu, or Zhou Deqing in front of him, they were all very broad-minded. Their biggest characteristic is that they can accommodate talents. But on second thought, it seems to be a matter of course. If you don't respect talents, how can they do so much? Of course, if you are an ordinary person, it is almost impossible to "talk and laugh" with them. Zhou Deqing said that beggars also invite tea, which is completely a joke, but it is just to show the elegance of his "corporal Lixian".
"I don't have any skills, since I took over the tea plantation, I have been studying and running the company at the same time, and my career is still passable. Eight years after taking over the tea plantation, I encountered the reform and opening up, and I devoted myself to the tea trade. To tell the truth, I have also let go of roasting tea over the years, and I have not done the tea trade, and the whole person has retreated, but the tea has not been put down......" Zhou Deqing said as he spoke, and he had already poured out the first tea and brewed the second tea.
After about two or three minutes of soaking, Zhou Deqing picked up this fine purple clay pot and picked up each teacup three times.
Zeng Lao is also a good tea person, and commented: "What a 'Guan Gong patrolling the city'!"
The so-called "Guan Gong patrolling the city" is actually a cycle of pouring tea, and the teapot is like Guan Yu patrolling the city. The purpose of this time is to make the tea soup in the cup consistent, and the low pour is to not lose too much aroma. When brewing kung fu tea, the teacups are placed close together and the teapot is poured into the tea in a swirling motion, the purpose of which is to evenly distribute the amount and aroma of the tea among the four cups, so as not to favor one over the other. This action is like Guan Gong patrolling the city, everywhere. Therefore, it is very vivid to transfer Guan Gong's patrol to the procedure of making tea.
Tang Chen didn't know why: "This is a move to make tea?"
Zeng Lao smiled: "Yes, there are a total of eight processes for making tea. The first is the white crane bathing, that is, washing the cup, washing the tea set with boiling water; the second is Guanyin entering the palace, that is, the tea, putting the Tieguanyin tea into the tea set, accounting for about five points of the tea set's capacity; the third is the hanging pot high chong, that is, making tea, the boiling water is raised and flushed into the teapot, so that the tea leaves turn; the fourth is the spring breeze, which is a bit difficult to understand, called scraping foam, that is, using the lid of the pot or the lid of the ou to gently scrape off the floating white foam, so that the tea is fresh and clean; the fifth process is Guan Gong patrolling the city, and the tea after two or three minutes of tea brewing is poured into the teacups in turn; the sixth is Han Xin's soldiers, called ordering tea, when the guests drink half of the teaWhen the tea is poured to a little, it should be evenly dripped into each teacup little by little; the seventh is to taste the color of the soup, that is, to see the tea, to taste the color of the tea in the cup; and finally to taste the sweet rain, which is the elegant saying of drinking tea, take the heat and embellishment, first smell its fragrance, then taste its taste, sniff while sipping, and drink it shallowly. Although the amount of drink is not much, it can leave a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, and the bottom of the throat is sweet, relaxed and pleasant, and has no fun. Zhou Lao's movements have returned to the basics, and they are very tasteful, and they are pleasing to the eye......!
Tang Chen was fascinated by what he heard, and when he saw that Zeng Lao suddenly stopped, he hurriedly asked, "But what?"
