Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 504 484. Traditional Skills

The waiter of the teahouse, the former so-called waiter, is no ordinary person.

Before Li Xiao could say hello, the waiter with the tea set appeared beside Li Xiao.

The waiters in the Heming Tea House are all old men and women in their 50s and [-]s.

Wearing a retro shop waiter's clothing, he looks very energetic.

"Hello, sir, what kind of tea would you like?"

After the words fell, a plain white menu appeared in Li Xiao's hand.

Li Xiao took it and saw that there were many kinds of tea on it, and there were more than 30 kinds of tea in total.

There are old-fashioned black tea, green tea, and Pu-erh tea, as well as newly-made jasmine tea, rose tea, and even English-style lemon tea.

The price is not expensive, the cheapest is only 12 yuan, and the highest is only 38 yuan, which can be said to be high quality and low price.

However, the price here is the price of a single cup, and the hot water can be continued indefinitely.

However, the tea leaves are tasteless and tasteless, and if you need to replace the tea leaves, you need to buy a new cup of tea.

Li Xiao was not stingy on this rare visit, and ordered 5 cups of tea.

The uncle in the hall didn't show any surprise, and didn't even lift his eyelids.

After all, the uncle has been running halls since he was 16 years old.

Not to mention ordering 5 cups at a time, even if he ordered 50 cups at a time, he has served many guests.

Taking out the QR code, Li Xiao simply scanned the code to pay.

The uncle opened the white cloth covering the basket.

Boom...boom...boom...boom...boom.

Five crisp sounds.

Five teacups fell on the table.

The uncle raised his wrinkled hands.

The position of the teacups in the basket was turned upside down.

Under the white cloth, there are more than 30 slender tin cans from teacups.

Inside the tin cans are different varieties of tea.

The waiter uncle took out a tea spoon that had been rubbed for years and had already become round and shiny.

His movements were very nimble, and he took out almost the same amount of tea leaves from the unmarked iron can.

Like a meteor shower, the tea leaves streaked across the sky, and every single one fell into the teacup.

After finishing these waiter uncles, he asked.

"Excuse me, do you want a tea skill show?"

"A tea art show?"

Old Uncle Tang was not at all surprised that the guest asked such a question.

He had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, he continued to answer:

"Our tea art performance here is divided into 18 styles, known as [Eighteen Styles of Dragon Walking]."

"There are special tea masters who come here to perform."

"The charge is 18 yuan per guest."

"If you don't like tea performances, you can use the kettle on the table to brew."

The waiter uncle spoke neither fast nor hot, and his tone was neither salty nor bland.

It seems that whether you choose the former or the latter makes no difference to him.

Since I'm here, of course I want to watch the show.

It's only 18 yuan in total, and you can watch 18-style performances, which is simply too affordable.

Li Xiao took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay again:

"Then take a tea skill show."

The waiter uncle nodded slightly to take back the tea list, and he shouted to the boy next to him who was wearing a white exercise suit:

"Little Six, the guests here need a tea art show."

"It's a guest with a professional video camera, you boy, be serious!"

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, I fully understand!"

The young man known as Little Six came quickly to Li Xiao with a long-mouth pot.

Xiao Liuzi came to the table, and was obviously taken aback when he saw the old man with a black folding fan sitting next to Li Xiao.

He immediately put away the cynicism on his face, and his face became solemn:
"Hello, Uncle Tang, you are auspicious."

"Well, perform well, don't lose face for us Chengdu people."

"Come on, I promise to do my best."

As he spoke, he held the long-mouth pot in his right hand and walked around the spot for two steps.

His head shook slightly from side to side, and he muttered:

"I am Chang Xiaoliu, my master is Tang Yuanping, and Tang Sanshui is my master."

"Today, a guest officer will perform the Eighteen Forms of Dragon Walking, please appreciate it."

As he spoke, he bowed to the end, which was regarded as a greeting.

Wait until he stands upright again.

When he turned his wrist, the long-spouted pot, which was lightly held in his hand, started to spin.

The 1.3-meter-long long-mouthed pot twisted slightly against the wrist of his right hand, and was spun around him. The long-mouthed pot danced vigorously, which was really beautiful.

This action looks simple, but it is not easy at all.

The teahouses in the yard are densely packed, and the closest two places are only half a meter apart, and at most, the distance between them is no more than one meter.

This distance is far shorter than the length of the long mouth pot itself.

If someone with a little less skill comes over, don't say that, if you dance the teapot so that the water can't get in, will the water in it spill out.

I'm afraid that if you just hold it in your hand, a little carelessness will cause the teapot to hit the guests who are drinking tea in their seats.

It started with a unilateral movement of the right hand, followed by a movement of the left hand, followed by alternating movements of the two hands.

Many tea drinkers around also noticed.

Seeing that Xiao Liuzi was so serious, he cheered loudly, from near to far.

"Okay, what a handsome effort!"

"Well, you brat, you keep saying that your hand is dislocated and you can't dance? So it's not that you can't dance, it's that we small families can't move!"

"Is this the so-called tea skill? It's so beautiful?"

"If I had known this show was so exciting, let's order one too!"

"It's really only 18 yuan, and it's not very expensive now that I think about it!"

"Let's call one later!"

·······
After a while of cloud and rain.

The brass-colored long-spout pot was so danced that the water couldn't get into it, and Xiao Liuzi took it back to his side again.

He heard Xiao Liuzi say:
"Okay, the warm-up is over, the following is the eighteen dragon movements, please taste."

As he said, he bowed his hands.

A copper teapot with a long mouth measuring 1 meters in length appeared in front of Xiaoliuzi. His left and right fingers were constantly alternating, and the whole teapot was spinning rapidly.

The speed was so fast that a brass-colored barrier was actually formed in front of him.

The speed of the long-mouthed copper pot in his hand, after going back and forth twice from fast to slow and then from slow to fast, was lifted high above his head by Xiao Liuzi.

I saw little six, pushing against the bottom of the teapot.

The whole person's back is slightly bent, and the teapot also bends down with the body.

A slender white water column pierced the air and accurately landed inside the bowl of tea with the lid wide open.

The weight, angle, and cutting position of this water column composed of hot water are all perfectly controlled.

The height of Xiaoliuzi is 1 meters, and the height of the teapot is 8 meters.

The tea table made of stone is only 80 cm at most.

In other words, this silver water column crossed a distance of more than one meter.

It landed accurately in the tea bowl, and most importantly, not a single drop of water was spilled this time.

Seeing Xiao Liuzi's neat technique, the old man holding a black folding fan.

He closed the opened folding fan in his hand and patted the palm of his hand lightly.

There was a look of approval in his eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction:
"I didn't expect that your kid's kung fu has not fallen behind."

"This dragon goes out to sea already has eight or nine points of the charm of your master!"
