Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 442 Chapter 437, Drinking in the Tavern

The tavern was still so noisy at night. When Jiang Yan and the others arrived at the door of the tavern, they heard the lively sounds inside. They opened the door and walked in.

"Hey! You elders haven't seen each other for a while." The sharp-eyed film master saw Jiang Yan and the others and quickly stood up to say hello.

The film master still has a good impression of Jiang Yan and the others, especially Jiang Yan. When his family was in trouble a few days ago, he shamelessly went to Jiang Yan with a painting to exchange for fifty kilograms of stick noodles. These stick noodles helped a lot. The film master is very busy.

In those days, every family was not rich in food. He once took his paintings to other people to exchange for things. The most he could give was twenty kilograms of sweet potatoes. He just tried his luck when he went to Jiang Yan, but he didn't expect to give him high price.This made the film master very grateful.

But for Jiang Yan, giving him fifty kilograms of stick noodles would not be a disadvantage. What he said was Lang Shining's "Picture of the Divine Horse".This thing won't sell for millions at auction in future generations, but now it's still important to have a full stomach, otherwise this guy wouldn't trade the painting for food.

Another reason why Jiang Yan made friends with the film master was for his family's house. In the TV series, his house was sold to Xu Huizhen, but now that Jiang Yan knew about it, he had other thoughts.

You must know that my house in this area is in Zhengyangmen, Dashilar. The houses in the later area are almost sky-high prices. I can't take advantage of such a huge advantage.

However, there are no real estate transactions now. Selling privately is illegal, but there are policies from above and below.There will be a solution when the time comes.

Jiang Yan not only wants to buy the movie master's house, he also wants to buy some courtyard houses in the later generations of courtyard courtyard protection areas when he gets the chance. Whether he lives there by himself or is waiting for a promotion, this is always a fortune.

"Master Pian, you're drinking! We haven't seen each other for a while, so we'll have two drinks at a time." Jiang Yan smiled and said hello to Master Pian.

After saying hello to Mr. Pian, I walked directly to Mr. Niu.

"Master Niu, I haven't seen you for a while. You are still in good health."

Before, Jiang Yan learned some appraisal knowledge from Master Niu. Although he didn't become a disciple, he could still be regarded as half of Jiang Yan's teacher!Jiang Yan has done a lot of these three rituals. Now that Jiang Yan has come to say hello to him, Mr. Niu feels that he is quite respectable.

Everyone here knows who Jiang Yan is. He is the chief engineer of a research institute. You can ask around to find out whose children have a promising future for Jiang Yan. This official position is much higher than that of the director. Not because of his own status, Master Niu would accept Jiang Yan as his apprentice, but even if he didn't accept him, Master Niu would teach him everything he could. It was because of this friendship that the elders nearby knew that Jiang Yan was studying with him. , that is a look of envy.

What do we men in Sijiu City do for a living? We don’t know face.

"Okay, okay, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, let's sit down and talk, sit down and talk." After saying that, he gave up his seat to Jiang Yan.

The people who were sitting next to Mr. Niu were also very discerning, so they picked up their wine and food and found another place.

After Jiang Yan thanked the few people who offered to sit down, he said hello to Teacher Xu and the others inside, and then sat directly next to Master Niu.

He Yuzhu and the others also sat in the seats vacated by others beside Jiang Yan and Niu Ye's table. "Yali, give Xiao Jiang and the others two taels of wine each and some side dishes, and I'll keep the account." After Jiang Yan sat down, Master Niu greeted Jiang Yan and the others who were sitting down.

"No, no, Master Niu, it's not appropriate, it's not appropriate, I have to treat you." Jiang Yan quickly stopped Mr. Niu, and then said to Zhao Yali, who was on duty: "Sister Yali, let's have three or two drinks each. Give Niu Ye Pian Ye and the others two taels each, and some side dishes such as garlic sausage, peanuts, and tripe."

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned to Xu Damao who was sitting there and said, "Da Mao goes to pay the bill, and by the way, I can add two taels of wine and peanuts to these elders."

Naturally, Jiang Yan couldn't let others give him face. These things were given to the elders who gave up their seats.

After Jiang Yan drank two glasses of wine with Master Niu, he directly asked Master Niu: "Master Niu, I want to buy some tea sets recently. I wonder if you have any connections."

"Yes, yes, but what kind of tea set do you want?"

Hearing Master Niu's words, Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment. He only knew that the Kung Fu tea set and the bowl were included, but he didn't know anything else.

Sitting there, Mr. Niu saw Jiang Yan's constipated look. He knew within a few days that Jiang Yan didn't understand what was going on, so he opened his mouth to explain it to Jiang Yan. Only then did Jiang Yan understand what was going on.

It turns out that the people of this old city of Sijiucheng have rules for drinking tea. Generally, wealthy and sophisticated families like to use only teacups, which are porcelain teacups with lids.When making tea, the host and guests each have a cup, and the tea leaves are put directly into the cup. It is not advisable to put too many tea leaves and the tea water is not too full.If you follow the old etiquette, when making tea and refilling water, never let the water in the cup be too full.The usual rule is [-]% tea and [-]% wine.In other words, when making tea, you can only pour [-]% of the water, and if you pour [-]% of the water, it will overflow.There is also a rule about "boring" tea.Steep the tea leaves in the porcelain cup with a little hot water. When the guests come, brew it with boiling water. The tea will be fragrant and strong.

Ordinary people usually use a teapot to make tea, a polished brass tea tray, a fine porcelain teapot on top, and six small teacups of the same color and pattern.Tea cans and tureens must be in complete sets. The tureens are for distinguished guests or the elderly at home.

The least particular thing is to make tea in a petal jar, that's when my friends are here.It's very casual, and there is no need to pay too much attention to each other, but when making tea, you must put more tea leaves, catch the tea leaves in a big bus, and the tea you drink must not be dull.

People in Laosijiucheng love clay pots (purple clay pots) with different shapes. The Yixing clay pot is the best. People in Laosijiucheng hold the clay pot in their hands to play with and drink tea. The taste of tea made from clay pots is unique. Differently, the people of Sijiucheng pay attention to the use of tea pots. The inside of the pot cannot be dried or washed. At most, it can be rinsed with clean water. The clay pot is a personal preference and can only be used by oneself and cannot be "borrowed".

There is an old saying in Sijiucheng that "people will be deceived when the tea is full". In fact, pouring tea seven-tenths full has both scientific truth and cultural connotation. "Everything should be done in moderation. There is no need to demand perfection. Leave a little space for freedom and create a tolerant environment. You can deal with others and yourself without having no way out." This is the way to be a person and the way to deal with things.The characteristic of tea is that it is astringent. When you pour the tea [-]% full, it also means that the person who pours the tea is humble and cautious.

This is truly a knowledge of worldly affairs, and a mastery of human feelings is an article!People in Sijiu City think so clearly about drinking tea.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan picked up his wine cup and gave Master Niu a glass of wine, and then said, "Master Niu, I have learned a lot about the rules in the old Four Nine Cities. Master Niu, are you the one?" This, I need to listen to your teachings more in the future." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he gave Master Niu a thumbs up.

Seeing Jiang Yan giving him a thumbs up, Mr. Niu felt an indescribable sense of pride and also had a smile on his face.

However, he said modestly: "No, no, I only have a few more years to live, and it's far worse than what you can do. It's far, far behind." He waved his hand.
