Chapter 127: One More Cup
Gu Jiuyue unhurriedly took out a tea cake the size of a gong, wrapped in tea paper on the outside, and the words red were printed on the front - China Tea Company YN Provincial Company, China Tea Brand Round Tea.
Su Huai's pupils shrank and he was startled.
Later, although he lived a very failed life, he was finally begging for a life in a first-tier city, in fact, what he experienced and the world he saw could not be considered bad.
Therefore, he recognized at a glance that the tea cake was the early red seal of the eighth middle school.
This thing is too famous among Pu'er lovers, and it may be equivalent to Jordan personally signing a cone for basketball lovers, Lamborghini poison for supercar lovers, and Hayasaka Ji for art lovers for the first time in 24.
Don't ask me who Hayasaka-hime is, I haven't seen it, it's as real as if I didn't wear a cone either.
Back to the topic, the fame of the Red Seal of the Eighth Middle School is not only because it is less and expensive, but also because its taste is also recognized, which can be called the supreme enjoyment of tea lovers.
Su Huai...... Naturally, I haven't drunk it, but I haven't seen the company's boss bragging to share it in the circle of friends.
Gluttonous?
In fact, he was not very greedy, because at that time, he knew that he was not worthy, and he would never be able to mix a bite in his life.
But now when he saw Lao Wang take it out to share with him, he couldn't hold back his saliva.
Cheer on!
Su Huai showed just the right amount of shock: "Professor Wang, could this be the legendary Bazhong Red Seal Round Tea?" β
"Xiao Su's insight is really good!"
Professor Wang was very proud, like a child showing off his toys, put the tea cakes on the coffee table, and pointed to the word "Zhong" in "China Tea Company" to show Su Huai.
"Look, a little red!"
Su Huai looked carefully, and saw that there was a red dot that was accidentally printed above the word "Zhong".
What do you mean?
Anti-counterfeiting mark?
Su Huai is not a wealthy person of that level in the end, he knows the red seal of the eighth middle school, but he does not have a deep understanding, so he does not know what the meaning of this extra little red dot is.
But this is just right, you can go with the flow.
"Professor Wang, you stumped me, I only know that the red seal of the eighth middle school is particularly precious, what is the meaning of this red?"
It's better not to understand.
Bosom friends have the chatting method of bosom friends, and teaching has the joy of teaching.
With Su Huai's age and experience, it seems incompatible with Lao Wang to be a bosom friend, and it is best to give him the opportunity to educate himself.
Wang Yuqing's desire to share has skyrocketed, and it will soon be a dedicated science popularization.
"The existence of Indian grade tea is very short, from its birth in 1950 to the end of 1967, only a short period of 17 years, but there are also many different styles of tea.
During this period, the production of Pu'er tea changed from being dominated by private tea estates to being dominated by national government factories, and the scale and method of production, the selection of materials and packaging of products were different from those of the No. 1 tea era.
The red seal is a fine tea made from the best tea green and with the best technology.
And because the early Hongyin round tea is a conventional product, the time span for making this tea is relatively long, and now we can only distinguish it from the outer packaging.
A little red, the tea is more strong, with standard plum and orchid aromas and a heavier medicinal aroma.
Because it was accidentally engraved a little more when making engravings, it became a distinctive identification symbol, and thus became the hardest hit area for counterfeiting in today's market.
Eight times out of ten, it is not an exaggeration, and no channel or source can be trusted......"
Su Huai said at the most appropriate time: "Then how can we be sure that it is genuine?" β
"Haha!"
Professor Wang smiled very heartily, and replied generously: "Of course, it is determined with money!" β
Dizzy!
Are you serious?
Lao Wang was very serious, looked at Su Huai meaningfully, and said slowly: "A piece of red and red seal round tea, if it is bought at auction, it can be auctioned for a price of about one million."
If you buy it privately, it will be easy to sell it for 800,000.
And how much does counterfeiting cost?
I don't quite understand, but I guess it won't be more than tens of thousands.
With something as lucrative as this, can you expect counterfeiters to be too sophisticated? Or do you expect the intermediary's routine to be easily debunked by you if it is not good enough?
Impossible, huh?
So if you want to buy the real thing, there are only two ways -
First, go to a reliable auction and smash the highest price to get the authenticity of the people's reputation.
Second, if you are powerful enough for the seller to dare to offend you, or if he asks for you, then what he gives you is most likely genuine.
In addition, the tea cakes you buy for no amount of money in private hands cannot be authentic, and even the seller may be kept in the dark and collect the fake as the real thing.
Even if it was me, I had paid millions of tuition fees when I first started thinking about fine tea in the early years, otherwise I would not have summed up such two experiences......
Xiao Su, old man, I will entertain you with the highest sincerity! β
"It's grand."
Su Huai shook his head with a wry smile, and naturally sighed: "Suddenly I feel that I don't deserve to drink this tea......"
Professor Wang was dumbfounded on the spot.
Well?!
Why is your reaction so wrong?
Gu Jiuyue suddenly said: "The tea is bought for people to drink, drink it, I'll buy it for my grandfather when I drink it up." β
Trench!
A million cakes of tea make you talk like Chinese cabbage......
This kind of trench is not the same as Su Huai's online swiping of coins, revealing a real free and easy.
And Professor Wang also retracted his stunned moment, and immediately echoed: "Xiao Su, just by taking care of Yueyue, there is nothing unworthy to say if you take the whole piece, don't be presumptuous!" β
Old fox!
God is you, and so are ghosts......
Su Huai could clearly feel Professor Wang's emotions, which were generally a kind of sincere gratitude and faint appreciation, but there was still dissonance in itβLao Wang spent a lot of energy observing himself.
That kind of observation, clearly scrutinized, goes far beyond the normal attention of the average guest.
What is certain is that Su Huai coaxed him very happy, but he didn't really make Professor Wang accept himself completely.
The previous bunch of introductions can be understood as a test of some form of novelty.
What exactly is the test?
What kind of answer does Lao Wang want?
What kind of traits does Lao Wang hope to observe in himself?
Su Huai didn't know.
He could only feel a deep meaning in those extensions, hidden deeply, seen deeply, and hinted deeply.
So how to deal with it?
Ordinary young people may be eager to start showing, showing knowledge with knowledge, showing ideas with thoughts, and showing attitudes with nothing.
Whether it's modest or sleek, you can't let the stubble fall to the ground.
However, Su Huai decided to do the opposite.
So, his response was "I don't feel like I deserve to drink anymore", not flattered.
If you want to see what kind of person I am, then I'll let you see.
I don't understand, but don't blame me.
β¦β¦
Lao Wang really didn't understand, so he felt that Su Huai, the kid, was a little special...... Well, let's put it into a more reinforcing description, it's very special.
What is special, Lao Wang has no definite conclusion for the time being, anyway, it is different from ordinary children.
For example, now, he waited for Su Huai's response, but Su Huai was not in a hurry, he smiled so shyly and clearly, and his eyes were thoughtful.
What was this kid thinking?
"Professor Wang."
Without waiting for Lao Wang to figure it out, Su Huai finally spoke calmly and sincerely.
"Good tea is the most valuable to give to bosom friends, I am just a student, and I have not yet reached the age to understand the true meaning of tea.
What I mean by 'unworthy' is not that I am not unworthy, but that there is a huge gap between you in terms of hobbies and tastes.
Such a good tea, give it to me, it is somewhat suspected that some cows chew peonies and destroy the heavens.
Why don't you take it back, and let's get a little jasmine high? β
Lao Wang immediately froze.
Is Su Huai right?
Very right, very right.
It's normal for young people to not like to drink tea and not taste the real taste.
Forced sharing is not necessarily a good thing.
There are many ways to be good to a person, and imposing what you think is good on the other person may not be really good.
Carefully understanding Su Huai's response, Lao Wang felt such a deep meaning.
Is it over-interpreting? β
Lao Wang fell into a kind of self-doubt.
However, whether it is over-interpreted or not, in short, Su Huai's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and the reason for refusal is solid and powerful, which has already reflected something extraordinary.
"Hahaha!"
Lao Wang laughed loudly, his mood suddenly rose, and his eyes looked at Su Huai with a little more satisfaction.
"It's definitely not good to be high, you have to have a high enough standard to entertain distinguished guests, just drink it, good granddaughter, bring me my tea knife!"
Twisted melons aren't sweet?
I don't care, I have to twist it!
Wang Yuqing, who was in his sixties and almost seventy, was as stubborn as an old naughty boy, carefully opened the cotton paper, took the tea knife handed by Gu Jiuyue, gently peeled off a small piece, and grabbed a little loose piece, a total of about six or seven grams.
"To drink this kind of red seal old tea, you must use a high crystalline purple clay pot to brew, the water should be hot, 100 degrees is the base, and you must wake up before brewing......"
He no longer tested Su Huai, and began to make tea intently.
Hmm, the action is extremely careful, professional or unprofessional Su Huai doesn't know, anyway, he is very careful.
The electric stove controls the temperature, the thick-walled iron kettle boils the spring water, puts the purple clay pot with tea leaves on the iron kettle spout and steam for half a minute, then takes off the purple clay kettle, buckles the lid, and pours the body of the pot with boiling water over and over again.
"This step is to increase the temperature of the pot and stimulate the tea."
Su Huai and Gu Jiuyue glanced at each other, and asked in detail with their eyes: Is your grandfather usually so tossed when he drinks tea?
Gu Jiuyue seemed to understand, pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded.
As if she felt bored, she picked up a book, put her cheeks on her cheeks with one hand, and flipped through it so casually.
It's so beautiful.
Eh, the meaning of dog Huai is...... She's good-looking.
I thought she would help, or show it, but it turned out to be a lonely and beautiful and indifferent situation, which was a bit unexpected.
But it's rare that she no longer sits so upright, holding her cheek with one hand and flipping through a book with the other, peaceful, lazy, and comfortable, making the whole space beautiful.
Gradually, Su Huai no longer paid attention to the complicated techniques of the old king, and looked at her as if empty.
The eyes fall on the point, one inch higher is the face, and eight points lower is the chest, so ...... I look at the collarbone and neck, and feel the breath and magnetic field.
This woman is not like an ordinary person.
Su Huai pondered Professor Wang's attitude while going crazy.
Professor Cheng's attitude is a bright card, hoping that her granddaughter will make more friends, judging from Zhang Yaowen's hints, she doesn't even mind her granddaughter having a partner and falling in love in college.
And what about Professor Wang?
Do you have the same idea, but want to examine your "qualifications"?
Or do you not agree with Gu Jiuyue falling in love, but you don't want to directly oppose Professor Cheng, so you hope that the boy who is close to her can retreat?
Judging from the fact that he took out a piece of red seal tea cake as soon as he came up, there is a greater probability that it is the latter.
A little boy from an ordinary family will inevitably feel inferior when he sees a million pieces of tea cakes, right?
Even if it is the kind of phoenix man who has made up his mind to eat soft rice, it is difficult to withstand this level of "killing stick", this is no longer an ordinary family gap, but a violent impact on the original values.
A piece of tea cake is more than 300 grams, one million yuan, and it can last less than two months if you drink it diligently, and it costs about 5 million yuan a year.
With an annual income of less than 50 million, is it worth for him to provide for his retirement?!
This is a silent warning, under normal circumstances, he doesn't need to do anything more at all to dispel 99% of boys' ill-intentioned feelings towards Gu Jiuyue.
And it can make people can't find any fault - Lao Wang's attitude is not a little condescending, and he entertains Su Huai with the highest etiquette.
Scold!
Old Fox ......
Su Huai withdrew the eyes that fell on Gu Jiuyue's collarbone, picked up the fruit plate with one hand, and laid it in front of her.
"Would you like some fruit?"
Gu Jiuyue casually pinched two cherries and brought them to his mouth.
While eating, he replied without raising his head: "You eat it too, it's quite sweet." β
"Okay, I'll try it."
It's really sweet, and when you bite into the juice, the taste is too good.
"It tastes so good, what variety?"
"I don't know, I'll just eat."
The two didn't even look at each other, and everything was natural, with an indescribable harmony.
"Alright, it's time to drink!"
Professor Wang interrupted the communication between the two with a smile, and there was still no problem with his attitude, but Su Huai found ...... His mouth was a little bulging.
Yo, you're in a hurry?!
Su Huai held back a smile, raised the teacup with both hands, sniffed the tea carefully, and praised movingly: "Professor Wang, this tea is so fragrant, the taste is too charming." β
"Hehe......"
The old king's face couldn't help but be proud, half happy and half sad in his heart, and turned his head to look at his good granddaughter.
"Yueyue, do you want to have a cup of tea with grandpa?"
Gu Jiuyue didn't raise his head yet, so he casually sent him away: "Ask Su Huai to accompany you, I can't get used to drinking, he should like it." β
A careless sentence really annoyed the old king.
How do you know he's going to like it?!
And what qualifications does this stinky boy have to use the word "accompany"?!
Yueyue, you used to be the closest to your grandfather, but you don't have this attitude now!
Old children, old children, have a lot of things to do and love to play.
In his preset scenario, this should not have happened.
"Little Su ......"
Lao Wang smiled dryly, with sour and expectation, urging Su Huai to taste it quickly.
"It's a bit difficult for you to force you to drink this old tea, you can taste it, it doesn't matter if you are not used to it, there are drinks at home, don't be polite to us......"
"Okay, Professor Wang."
Su Huai smiled shyly, then picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and immediately frowned.
"How?!"
Lao Wang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask about his feelings.
"Smack!"
Su Huai suddenly slapped his thigh, his voice was raised, happy and shocked: "No wonder it's so expensive, it's too delicious, right?" It's better than any drink! β
Yes?!
The old king's eyes widened, and he felt a huge reversal and impact...... How so?!
At such a critical moment, without waiting for him to react, Gu Jiuyue raised his head, looked at Su Huai, and said softly: "If you like it, drink more, my grandfather rarely takes it out to entertain guests, the last time Director Zhang came to the house, he didn't smell the smell of tea, so he gave him a look through the cotton paper......
Hey, it turns out that the old king's head is so picky?
Gou Huai's eyes suddenly became shiny, and he realized how to win the old man.
He drank all the tea soup in the cup, automatically and consciously carried the teapot, and smiled.
"Grandpa Wang, it's hard to resist the hospitality, then I'll have another ......"
The smile doesn't go away, it just shifts.
