Mingmen Family

Chapter 90 The Design of Tea Sets

Mrs. Wu also looked over curiously.

Ye Yaming was satisfied when he saw the texture of the tea set.

This is sweet white porcelain, which is extremely high-end porcelain in Dajin.

The last time Ye Yaming took out the tea set, he also told Lu Guanyi that first let Master Smart set up a tea table, and then sell the tea set after the arrangement of the tea table and the use of tea sets spread among the upper class.It seems that Lu Guanyi understood what she meant.

Although tea is a kind of beverage, it is drunk by the royal family and nobles, as well as the traffickers and pawns.But when it comes to the pursuit of the taste of tea and the ultimate tea making technique, they still belong to the scholar-official class who have money, leisure, culture and petty bourgeoisie.Because of this pursuit, tea culture was formed.

Since it is culture, it must be elegant, artistic, and high-end.The formation and dissemination of tea culture must start from the upper class.

So these tea sets have to take the high-end route from the very beginning.

The reason why group tea is sought after is not because of its good taste, but because of its elegance.Isn't the reason why loose tea is not popular in the current Jin Dynasty because it can't be elegant?
Then start with the tea set, and then give the scholar-bureaucrats the opportunity to show their cultural level and aesthetics in the tea table arrangement.Finally, we will introduce new ones in terms of taste, so that they can discover that after they have tried a new tea, there is another new tea to play with, and different teas can be brewed in a variety of ways.

In this way, how could they not abandon the group tea that they have been playing for decades, and turn to loose tea with a variety of tricks?

She doesn't need an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang to "abolish the group and promote the separation", she can still replace the group tea with loose tea, so that everyone can return to the original taste of tea.

Looking at the styles of these tea sets, they are all the same as the ones she drew. Ye Yaming nodded, raised his eyes and smiled at Lu Guanyi: "Very good, there is nothing wrong. Mr. Lu can find the tea set in such a short period of time. The master who made sweet white porcelain made these tea sets, it is really amazing."

"Hey, you don't know, the last time you took out the blueprints and left Chongshan Temple, he couldn't wait all night, so he sent people out of Lin'an City immediately, and went to Xinping Town in the south to find The best master there burned a kiln, and then rushed back non-stop. The tea set was delivered to Zimo in less than an hour." Qi Ji said.

Lu Guanyi did not refute him, but only said to Ye Yaming: "People in the capital admire sweet white porcelain, so I asked someone to make sweet white porcelain. If Miss Ye has any other ideas, you can tell them."

After a pause, he said again: "Don't worry, we will pay for it."

When Master Wu heard this, he looked at Ye Yaming in surprise, with a subtle expression on his face.

Ye Yaming naturally understood what he meant.

She knew that at this time, people with a certain status were ashamed to discuss money in person, and only traffickers and pawns would be ashamed to bargain.As a businessman, the Ye family chose to cooperate with Lu Qi, and it should be so.Especially when the Ye family cooperates with Lu and Qi, the Ye family is in a passive position.

Perhaps in the eyes of Master Wu, although he can lower his status to flatter the Ye family, it is only for the sake of Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji.As for the Ye family, in front of Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji, they should have tried their best to curry favor with Lu and Qi.If there are any good prescriptions and good things, they should all be dedicated.

As for benefits, if Lu Guanyi and Qi Ji are kind, they will share some of the benefits to compensate the Ye family for their contribution; if they are not kind, they will not share the benefits, and the Ye family should not have any complaints.

Master and subordinate, the Ye family must clearly understand where they are.

Knowing Master Wu's thoughts, Ye Yaming still didn't change his face, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and he planned to die without repentance.

She comes from an era that advocates equality for all, but she doesn't have the slavishness of people in this era.If the Ye family or she groveled at the beginning of the cooperation and acted as a slave, then they would never be able to stand upright again.

What she wants is cooperation on an equal footing and win-win cooperation.Fifty-five points The number of "five-five" is not random.

She smiled back at Lu Guanyi, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Seeing her attitude, not only Master Wu and his wife, but also Lu Guanyi raised his eyebrows slightly; Qi Ji was even more interested and found it interesting.

Ye Yaming was different from all the women they had been in contact with before.

"The tea ceremony I put up last time was solemn and solemn because of Master Zhizhi's meditation room, so the theme of the tea ceremony I wanted to express was 'Zen', so I used tablecloths, vases, and flower arrangements to match the theme and atmosphere. The vases are old-fashioned, Arranging flowers with dead branches represents the withering and death of tea during the production process."

"But the tea was stimulated by boiling water, stretched out, oozing out its sweetness, like a phoenix nirvana, it came back to life. This represents prosperity and life. So I chose white porcelain to brew it, and withered branches The colors of the tea seats are in contrast. There is also a contrast in the colors of the tea seats. This is the aesthetic and perception brought by the arrangement of the tea seats.”

Master Wu is a scholar, although he only passed the Juren examination and made no further progress, but he is a literati after all, and he also has a literary and romantic side.

When he first heard Ye Yaming speak, he was still full of disdain, thinking that a business woman who only had money in her eyes could say something wise.He was very shocked to hear such a high-level talk now.

Even Lu Guanyi, Qi Ji, Ye Chongming and others had heard Ye Yaming's views on the tea ceremony in Chongshan Temple, and it was still refreshing to hear such words at this time.

It is hard to imagine that such a remark came from a 15-year-old girl who has never read a book.Even a wise master who has read poetry and books and enlightened Tao all his life cannot realize such a theory.

Of course, this "haven't read a book" is relative to a scholar who has a Jinshi diploma or level in the ten-year-old window.

Ye Yaming didn't think she was anything special.She is just standing on the shoulders of giants, talking about the understanding of tea ceremony and tea ceremony in later generations.Of course, this understanding is not copied, but something she has realized on the basis of those theories.

She continued calmly: "Then what if I want to express the vitality of spring? When spring tea comes out, it is full of greenery, and the breath of spring is tangy; summer is scorching, and it needs a cool summer, and lotus blooms on the lake; winter In the white snow, the red plum blossoms are stunning at that moment. If these are to be expressed in the tea banquet, what kind of tea set should we give it?"

Everyone in the room was thoughtful.

Ye Yaming looked at Lu Guanyi with seriousness in his eyes: "So the tea set is not the same. Its color, texture, and style can all be changed. We can design it according to various themes. It's just that the function remains the same. Zong will do."
