Chapter 514: Brewing Tea and Chatting
"Must be free!"
Ding Junjie said with a smile.
"Okay, you come directly to the Jingshe Teahouse after work, and a friend and I will go over first."
"No problem, I know the Jingshe Teahouse, it's not far from me, I'll arrive around 5:40."
"Okay, I'll see you later."
After Jiang Xiaobai hung up the phone, he asked the waiter: "How much?" ”
The beautiful waitress said: "1 yuan and 5 cents, you don't have to give cash, just deduct it from the room deposit when the time comes." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, thanked him, and walked out with Lin Jiajun.
A few minutes later, the two came to the teahouse and asked for a private room.
"What kind of tea do you drink, gentlemen?" The owner of the teahouse was a woman in her thirties, quite plump, with a pair of peach blossom eyes revealing style, and asked in very standard Mandarin.
Lin Jiajun didn't have much research on the tea ceremony, and said to Jiang Xiaobai: "You can order it, I can drink whatever I want." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said to the boss, "What kind of tea do you have here?" ”
The female boss said: "There are both green tea and black tea, as well as Da Hong Pao, you can order a single cup or a brew." ”
Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while and said, "Then let's take a soak in the big red robe!" ”
"Okay, gentlemen, wait a minute." The female boss turned around with a smile and went down to prepare.
Not long after, she entered the private room again and placed a tea set on the table, in which was a bubble of red robes, the shape of which was tightly knotted, the color was green and brown, and the fragrance of orchids was rich.
At first glance, it is a good Wuyi Mountain big red robe.
"Sir, do you want to make your own tea, or do you need me to make tea?"
After setting up the tea set, the landlady asked.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "I'll just soak it myself." ”
After speaking, he said: "Help me prepare three tea cups, and there will be a guest in a while, and then trouble the boss to help me bring it in." ”
"What is your surname, sir?"
"Don't be expensive, surnamed Jiang, Jiang Xiaobai!"
"Okay, Mr. Jiang!" The landlady agreed, and said, "I remember, when your friend comes, I will bring him, and I will go and bring the stove and the kettle first." ”
Jiang Xiaobai politely thanked him.
Eighty years of making tea and boiling water, there is no electric kettle in later generations, and they all use a small red clay stove to burn charcoal to boil water.
Compared with the electric kettle in later generations, this way of boiling water is more interesting and less convenient.
Waiting for the female boss to prepare everything, Jiang Xiaobai skillfully washed the cup and made tea, and saw Lin Jiajun pouting: "You said that you are in such a poor place in Qingzhou, why do you still learn those literati to make tea?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Brother Jun, if you make friends, you can drink directly, because drinking is pleasant, but if you want to achieve a career, you must learn to drink tea." ”
Lin Jiajun Yile: "According to what you mean, if you don't know how to make tea and drink tea, you can't make a career?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head: "Not really, I mean that the more you drink, the more you drink, the more you drink, and the decisions are often impulsive." ”
"And drinking tea is different."
"The more you drink tea, the more sober it becomes, it will make people feel at peace and facilitate deep thinking."
Lin Jiajun pouted and said: "You are the same as my old man, every day you have a calm breath in your mouth every big event, I don't believe in that, why do you want to do so much, it's over." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You are a soldier, you should know the famous generals of ancient times." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Jiajun suddenly became interested.
"Of course, the famous generals of the ancients, Bai Qi, Xiang Yu, Wei Qing, and Huo Quai, are all great generals."
Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Yes, they are all famous generals in ancient times, but who of them has written a book of war, and who has the art of war handed down?" Who can be called a military strategist? ”
Lin Jiajun was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Xiaobai continued: "There are only seven real military books left in ancient times, called the Seven Books of Wujing, which are "The Art of War", "The Art of War", "Liutao", "Sima Law", "Three Strategies", "Wei Xuanzi" and "Li Weigong Asks Right". ”
The Seven Books of the Martial Arts, Lin Jiajun naturally knew that when he reached his level in the army, there were also cultural classes.
Raising his eyelids, Lin Jiajun looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise, he always thought that he was just a businessman, but he didn't expect that he even dabbled in military works, and couldn't help asking, "You still read military books?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "You soldiers only read these books as military books, and I don't fight, I read these books purely as literary books." ”
After a pause, he said: "The reason why I am telling you this is just to say that the people who wrote these military books, such as Jiang Ziya, Sun Wu, Li Jing, etc., most of them do not personally go to the battlefield to fight, but only need to sit in command of the Chinese army. For the generals, they are strong and persistent, and they are invincible. ”
"Two types of people, two completely different levels!"
As he spoke, he made a bowl of tea, poured it into a fair cup, divided it into two tea cups, sandwiched a tea cup with a tea clip, and sent it to the tea table in front of Lin Jiajun and put it down gently.
"Here, taste."
Lin Jiajun felt funny when he saw his appearance, and he took the tea cup with a big grin and poured a cup of hot tea into his mouth.
The next second, he almost spit out the tea.
"It's so hot, you give me a drink?" Lin Jiajun said angrily.
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Who told you to drink it so urgently, the tea has to be drunk in three small sips and tasted carefully in order to taste the fragrance of the tea." ”
Lin Jiajun pouted and said, "It's really strange that you want me to drink it in three sips for such a big cup." ”
As he spoke, he smashed his mouth.
Not to mention, this tea is still a little fragrant.
"Here, have another drink!"
It was too hot at first, and he didn't drink any taste, but at this time he felt the fragrance in his mouth and couldn't help but say.
Jiang Xiaobai poured him a new glass.
Lin Jiajun saw Jiang Xiaobai pouring tea, and couldn't help but scold: "Seeing that you look reluctant, can't you pour a little more?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile: "This tea pouring is also particular, it is called tea full of deception, wine is full of respect, which means that the tea can only be poured for seven points." ”
Lin Jiajun said: "Why is this? ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You see, the cup we drink tea in is very small, and the tea is generally hot, very hot." If it is poured too full, it is difficult for you to pick up the cup when you drink it, it is easy to spill, it will be embarrassing to drink it with your head down, and it is easy to burn your lips when you drink it. So pour the tea and leave three points, leaving respect and friendship. ”
Lin Jiajun smiled: "It's really exquisite." ”
sighed and asked, "What is the saying that the wine is full?" ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Although the words say that the wine is full, it is not actually full, referring to the saying of pouring tea, it is also called pouring tea for seven points and pouring wine for eight points." ”
Lin Jiajun laughed: "I think you want to drink less!" ”
