Chapter 146: Pingjiang's Tea Hundred Operas
There are not many patterns in the cheongsam, mainly concentrated on the upper body and tail.
It was the pattern of Jin Gui Shangtang Yan, and Ji Wan walked towards the dress when he entered the store, stroking it from the top to the hem.
"Boss, what is the price of this cheongsam of Jin Gui Shangtang Yan?" Ji Wan asked, but his eyes were always on the cheongsam.
The boss, a man in his forties with a beard, glanced at Ji Wan's direction and said two words, "Not for sale." ”
Hearing these two words, Ji Wan pursed his lips, but his hand still couldn't bear to put it down, this smooth touch, like a woman's skin, was very fascinating.
No, it should be said that it is smoother than a woman's skin, and it feels like it will slip off as soon as you hold it in your hand.
I haven't seen such a good cheongsam made of silk for a long time, I want it so much, I want it very much, Ji Wan has sighed countless times in his heart.
The boss looked at Ji Wan as if he really wanted to, so he said, "I see you should be from out of town, my store has an unwritten rule, if you can draw a cheongsam design that I can see, I will sell it to you at a low price, but it takes a long time to make a cheongsam, so you have to tell me, what material is used in the cheongsam on the design drawing, and what is the embroidery method?" But you have to use Suzhou embroidery, nothing else. ”
Ji Wan thought about it, it's okay to try, maybe it's okay, "Okay, then I'll try." ”
She found a random spot, the shop had a place to drink tea, but a little later, a mahogany table with a few stools around it.
Ji Wan sat there, took out the picture book he carried with him from his pocket, and held a pencil in his right hand, this kind of improvisation is a little difficult.
What to draw?
There was a figure suddenly in his mind, Ji Wan shook his head, and wanted to shake off the pictures in his mind, how could this damn He Yushu keep jumping out.
Pinching the pen, Ji Wan wrote the name of the work on the foot of the paper in the picture book: Lu Cong Tonight White.
Ji Wan drew this design drawing for three hours before she barely finished it, looked at it again, and after carefully changing a few places, she handed the drawing book in her hand to the boss sitting at the front desk.
The boss crossed Erlang's legs, kept looking at the drawing book, did not speak, and spoke for a long time, "Why do you design such a cheongsam?" There are also materials for cheongsam. ”
"The white of the whole body, the simple white, the white of dreams, the white of solitude. It is made of white silk crown crepe fabric, the beads hang lightly on the back, the pearl tassels at the cuffs are swaying, and of course, there is the Suzhou embroidered waist seal that is the finishing touch. This is the most important place in the whole body, and the Su embroidery flowers on it can only be embroidered by master-level people, otherwise the whole skirt will be ruined. Ji Wan introduced her cheongsam in detail, and after finishing speaking, she looked at the boss and waited for comments.
After hearing this, the boss didn't speak, just kept staring at the painting in his hand.
After a long time, he slowly spoke, "I am very satisfied with your work, I haven't seen such a good work for a long time, can you leave it to me to produce?" Don't worry, I won't insult this cheongsam, I just want to see how it looks finished. ”
"Okay, I'll hand over this cheongsam to you, the cheongsam at the window, I'll ......" Ji Wan's eyes were already glowing, and he almost wrote what I wanted to write on his face.
The boss put down the drawing book, smiled, stood up and walked to the window, "I am a person who does what I say, this one hundred and five is the lowest price I gave you, you have a good eye, you should know how much this dress is worth." ”
Indeed, Ji Wan must be able to guess the price of this dress, one hundred and five is considered to be given for free, just like not asking for money.
"I know, don't worry, I will definitely protect it." Ji Wan liked it more and more, and waited for the boss to bring the clothes to the table, fold them carefully, and wrap them in paper before handing them to her.
And her design was torn off and handed to the boss, and after leaving the address, she took the paper bag and went to find a place to eat.
It's almost twelve o'clock, and Ji Wan has to go back to receive the goods!
For lunch, I ordered squirrel fish and some more famous dishes, and the one that I ate was called full.
When he returned to the hotel, he happened to meet the guy from the fabric store who came to deliver it, so Ji Wan hurriedly stepped forward, "Please send it to the second floor, come with me!" ”
"Okay."
Ji Wan took her men to room 207 on the second floor, they walked twice to finish moving, and now she is too lazy to care about these silks.
Ji Wan found a hanger without burrs in the space, hung the cheongsam of Jin Gui Shangtang Yan outside, held milk tea in his right hand, and carefully looked at the texture and embroidery of this dress.
The two swallows on this can be said to be lifelike, and the osmanthus below looks like they really fell.
"This is a double feather embroidery!" Ji Wan's face was two centimeters away from the cheongsam, and he couldn't wait to add a magnifying glass to study it carefully.
After studying to two o'clock, Ji Wan looked at his watch and put the cheongsam into the space, it was really a big loss for such an expensive good thing to be stolen.
There are a lot of places to drink tea around, but there are not many people in some shops, and it doesn't feel interesting, so after walking about two kilometers, when I arrived at Dongting Lake, Ji Wan saw a tea shop surrounded by many people.
The name of the shop is camellia.
Walking in, the store exudes a faint fragrance of tea, taking a sip is like drinking a sip of tea, most of them are some leisurely old people.
Either it is a tea lover, a tea table is surrounded by many people, Ji Wan is also curious to come up, it is a woman wearing a cheongsam doing tea opera.
This is the most famous tea opera of the Song Dynasty, and it can be seen here, and Ji Wan can be regarded as catching up with a good time and watching a lively scene on the side.
The cheongsam woman is graceful and well-proportioned, holding a pen in her right hand and a porcelain vase in her left hand, which is supposed to contain 'pigments' made from tea leaves.
I haven't painted much yet, and I don't know what I'm painting, Ji Wan watched with interest, and the people around him didn't disturb the people who were painting.
The white foam, painted in green on it, is a mountain with mountains, it is really a novelty, and Ji Wan is also watching it with relish.
When the painting was finished, the cheongsam woman put down the pen in her hand and slowly got up, "It's ugly." ”
"Everywhere, it's just beautiful, like you're really in the middle of the mountain."
"Yes! Our tea shop in Pingjiang, your family can see such an authentic tea opera, it is really in vain that I came all the way over. ”
Ji Wan saw that it was over, so he found an empty spot on the side and made it, and ordered a cup of Pingjiang specialty, Biluochun.
In the past, this was also a proper tribute, one of the top ten famous teas, and it was already famous in the Sui Dynasty.
Taste it carefully, it really has that taste, Ji Wan just had sharp eyes, and saw that the back of this shop seemed to be still roasting tea, and he could buy some for the old man at home later, and smoke less if he was fine.
It's also good to drink tea, self-cultivation.
"Little comrade, what do you think of the tea here?"
There was also a little old man drinking tea on the side, who looked quite young, but at first glance he knew that he was in his sixties.
"Tender green and verdant, soft and even, fragrant and elegant, fresh and fresh." Ji Wan thinks that these four words can highlight the Biluochun here, the right starting price, is the top grade, but not the best, she knows nothing about tea tasting.
"Well said! The tea strips here are tightly knotted, curled like a snail, white and dewy, silver-green and verdant, the leaf buds are young and tender, and the tea flavor is slowly stretched after brewing, and it flies up and down. The old man gently twisted the teacup and took a sip slowly, his eyes closed as if he was feeling something.
Ji Wan also observed the tea leaves in the cup, and it was indeed exactly the same as what he said, it seemed that he was an old tea man on this side, "Old man, I really know how to drink tea, I just don't know much about it, I don't know much about it, and I can't tell the charm." ”
"You are also a sincere girl, this tea tasting is the state of mind of the tea taster, calm and calm, irritable and irritable, look at your appearance, it seems that you are not a local? Do you want to visit Pingjiang? ”
"It's really not local, I came to Pingjiang to see silk, and I heard that if you don't drink Biluochun in Pingjiang, it's for nothing, I came all the way to taste, so I naturally want to taste it." After speaking, Ji Wan took another sip, and the taste this time was different from the last time.
