Chungmumon.

"Senior brother," Pavilion Master Chen Jia was taking a nap, and an apprentice, Zhen Sifei, quietly slipped in and pushed him, "Senior brother, wake up, I have a very important matter to report to you." ”

"Huh?" Chen Jia slept soundly, and was woken up by him, and his stomach was unhappy, "What's the matter?" So urgent! You can't wait for me to wake up and talk to me. ”

"Senior brother, that's the case, yesterday I rested, I had nothing to do, so I went to the street to hang out, and just walked to the intersection of East Street, a newly opened teahouse, called Xiaoyao Teahouse, I went in to drink tea."

"You are quite Yaxing, you drink tea, why did you come to tell me this," Chen Jia heard what he said nonsense, "Do you have to come to me to eat, sleep, and go to the thatched house?" Get away, I'm going to go back to sleep. ”

"Senior brother, this newly opened teahouse is different." Zhen Sifei said.

"What's the difference?"

"Not to mention that the teahouse is big and bright, the key is that the people inside are different."

"People are different?" Chen Jia closed his eyes and asked in a daze, "How do you say this?" ”

"Senior brother, let me tell you, I found out that the proprietress of this Xiaoyao Teahouse is a stunning beauty, a peerless beauty," Zhen Sifei said in a low voice, "Senior brother, let me tell you this, if you compare her with the beauties you snatched before, they are not called beauties." ”

When Chen Jia heard him say this, he opened his eyes, and two bright lights appeared in his eyes, and said, "Is this true? ”

"Senior brother, when have I ever deceived you, do I dare to lie to you?" Zhen Sifei said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and see if I am telling a lie when you have time." ”

"Don't go, don't go, what does it have to do with me if people are ugly?" Chen Jia said lightly, "However, according to what you say, this woman should be pretty good-looking." ”

"It's not bad, it's just a fairy descending to earth," Zhen Sifei said, "Senior brother, look, should we do it tonight and snatch her." ”

"Smack!" Chen Jia slammed on his head, "Grab it!" Do you know all day long that the use of violence can solve all problems? Could it be that I, Chen Jia, usually teach you how to be a human being? What age is it, you have to convince people with virtue and be a civilized person, not to mention emotional matters, can you be reluctant? ”

"Senior brother, what should you do in your opinion?" This Zhen Sifei covered his head, crying out in his heart, thinking to himself why did I come here, didn't I think about you, haven't you always been like this, but at this time he pretended to be a righteous gentleman, but he didn't dare to say this.

"What to do? She opened her teahouse, let's open our martial arts hall, everyone does not interfere with the river water, and each has its own life," Chen Jia thought for a while, and then asked, "Then have you inquired, what is the name of that woman, and what is her origin?" ”

This Zhen Sifei heard him ask this, Yile, and said: "Later, I inquired from the cloth shop next door that the proprietress of the teahouse is named Shi Youyao, her man's health is not very good, and he has tuberculosis. ”

"Anything else?"

"I don't know anything else," Zhen Sifei said with a smile, "Senior brother, are you excited again?" ”

"I'm excited about your size! You continue to practice, and I continue to sleep. Chen Jia raised his hand to hit him again, but Zhen Sifei was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out.

As soon as Zhen Sifei left, Chen Jia got up and found a place to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, combed his hair, put on the hat of the western cowboy, sprayed some perfume on his body, cleaned up in the mirror again, and then came to the Xiaoyao Teahouse.

This teahouse is really not small, there are five or six shops, and it looks antique.

Chen Jia thought to himself that he hadn't been on the street for a while, and the changes on this street were quite big.

He walked in with his head held high.

When I entered the door, I saw that there were a few people drinking afternoon tea, all of them were the lords of the big families in the county or the young people, and a few female clerks were greeting.

From time to time, the tea drinkers looked over the bar and whispered.

Chen Jia raised his eyes to look, but saw a young woman standing in the bar, this woman was about 1.7 meters tall, tall, concave and convex, with slightly curly hair, tied in a ponytail, looking healthy and capable, fair skin, smooth and soft, a pair of watery eyes, looking left and right, exuding a soul-stirring magic.

"Guest, do you want tea?" At this time, a female clerk came over to greet him, and then took Chen Jia to a seat near the window and sat down, "What kind of tea do you want to drink?" ”

"Oh, don't worry, I'll sit down for a while, you go and get busy with yours first."

When the clerk heard him say this, she went to greet the other customers.

Chen Jia took out a book from his pocket, "The Top Ten Famous Teas of the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese Tea Ceremony" and studied it carefully.

Time flies, and before you know it, an hour has passed.

Chen Jia looked up and saw that all the people in the store were gone, and he was the only customer left.

He looked over to the bar, and the landlady was looking at him.

Chen Jia stood up, smiled at her, waved his hand, and motioned for her to come over.

The landlady smiled at him as well, and then walked over to him.

"The guest officer has studied very hard, I've been reading all afternoon, what book are you reading?" The female boss lightly opened her lips and asked softly.

"These are books that you women don't read." Chen Jia smiled and hurriedly stuffed the book into his pocket.

"Would you like some tea?"

"What tea do you have here?" Chen Jia asked.

"We can be said to be the largest teahouse in the county, the top ten famous teas of the Qing Dynasty, we have them here, I don't know what tea you want to drink?"

"I'd like to taste them all, okay?" Chen Jia said with a smile.

"Of course you can, as long as you're willing to spend money."

"It's easy to say, but I have a reluctant request, I don't know if it's okay." Chen Jia said.

"How?"

"Can you make tea for me yourself?"

"Oh? Want me to make your own tea? The landlady looked at him and smiled.

"Exactly." Chen Jia said.

"That's fine," said the landlady, "but I'll cook the tea for you myself, and I'll charge double the price." ”

"Yes, that's okay."

There was not much time, and sure enough, the female boss prepared all kinds of tea and tea sets and sat opposite Chen Jia.

Chen Jia saw that these teapots, tea cups, tea rules, teaspoons, tea buckets, tea lotus, tea rings, etc., were similar to antiques and were extremely exquisite.

The female boss gently rolled up her sleeves, revealing a pair of jade hands, and first took out a kind of green tea, all of which were tender buds, the appearance was delicate and curly, like a snail, the color was green and brown, covered with white hair, washed with boiling water, exuding a faint fragrance, the soup was clear and clear, and the bottom of the leaves was delicate and slightly white.

"Since the guest officer came to taste tea, he must be well versed in the tea ceremony, I wonder if you can recognize this tea?" The female boss looked at him and asked with a smile.

Chen Jia understood that she was going to test him, so he replied: "If I guessed correctly, the name of this tea is Dongting Biluo, which is the name of the title of the Qing ancestor Kangxi when he visited Taihu Lake in the 14th year. ”

When the female boss heard that he answered correctly, she nodded in approval.

At this time, she took out another kind of tea, which was like a bird's tongue, with fat buds and leaves, fragrant flowers, and even tender and bright at the bottom of the leaves. She first rinsed it with boiling water, then poured out the water, and then brewed it, but saw that in the green consommé, the tea buds were sinking vertically, and the roots were downward.

Chen Jia took a sip, but felt that the taste was mellow, and the aftertaste was sweet and long-lasting.

"Do you know this tea?" The landlady asked.

"This is Jingting Green Snow, Langyuan pineapple is one of the few national famous teas, but the quality of Jingting Green Snow is far more than it," Chen Jia paused, and then said, "The Tea Name Encyclopedia says that Jingting Maojian is produced in Jingting Mountain, Xuancheng, Anhui Province, and the tea is delicate, and there are white hairs on it, which is not easy to get. ”

"Guest, it seems that you are a master of the tea ceremony, do you have any opinions on the tea ceremony?"

"Tea ceremony, that is, the way to appreciate the beauty of tea, is an art of life, life etiquette, and a self-cultivation lifestyle, which helps to cultivate sentiment and remove distracting thoughts. The tea ceremony, known as the embodiment of Taoism, originated in China and later spread to the West and Japan. There is such a record in the Tang Dynasty's "Feng's Wenjian Ji": "The tea ceremony is a great practice, and the princes and courtiers are all drinkers." In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was a lover of tea, and he believed that the fragrant taste of tea could make people leisurely and quiet, and it was endlessly interesting. The Chinese tea ceremony absorbed the essence of Confucianism and Taoism, and the doctrine of Taoism injected the philosophical idea of "the unity of heaven and man" into the tea ceremony, created the soul of the tea ceremony, and emphasized the "Tao and nature", including three levels: material, behavioral and spiritual. As far as its constituent elements are concerned, there are four major elements: environment, etiquette, tea ceremony, and practice. ”

"Dare to ask your name?" As soon as the female boss heard what he said, she couldn't help but nod her head frequently and appreciated it greatly.

"Don't dare to be, under Chen Jia."

"Chen Jia?" When the female boss heard this, she thought for a while, "It turns out that you are the famous Chen Pavilion Master of the Zhongwu Sect, and I didn't expect that you martial arts practitioners also know the tea ceremony, it's really rare." ”

"You won the award, I only know a little bit about it," Chen Jia smiled, "Have you heard my name too?" ”

"You have a pair of god legs to fight all over the county, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?"

"That's in the past, one of my brothers is better than me," Chen Jia hurriedly waved his hand, "May I ask the girl's name?" ”

"My name is Shi Youyao." She replied with a slightly shy smile.

"I hit it off with the girl at first sight, I feel like I've found a soulmate, if you don't dislike me for being a rough person who practices martial arts, let's make friends."

"Look at what you said, how could I dislike you," Shi Youyao looked at him, "You can often come to the store to drink tea when you have time, and drink more tea to be healthy." ”
