White tea legend

Chapter 200 Gifts
Finally meeting the proprietress of "Xiangming Yaxu", Guolou, Ziyao, Huanhuan and Shijun all stood up from the tea room in excitement and took out the gifts they had prepared.

The decoration presented by Guilou is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. It has a strange shape and colorful colors. It was accidentally obtained from an ancient tree in the mountains. It symbolizes longevity and health, and can bring long-term prosperity to the tea house.

"Others use Ganoderma lucidum to save lives. It's too extravagant and wasteful for you to use Ganoderma lucidum as a decoration." Bai Cha said, taking it with a smile, and asked Xiaoqing to take it to the hall to display.

"All you need is ostentation!" Guolou said with a smile.

Zi Yao was not to be outdone, and the gift she gave could not be shabby. She took out a calligraphy and painting by a famous artist. The pen was powerful and the ink was dripping, which was pleasing to the eye and added to the cultural atmosphere.

"How about Zhang Bogao's cursive calligraphy?" Zi Yao said proudly.

"Who is Zhang Bogao?" Monk Hualou Zhanger on the side was confused.

"His Royal Highness Coral was an inquisitive person in the South China Sea, but when he came to the world, he became ignorant. Zhang Bogao's cursive script, Li Taibai's poems, and Pei Bogao's sword dance are known as the 'Three Wonders of the Li Dynasty'. It is said that calligraphy is a treasure, and Zhang Bogao's cursive script is a real treasure!"

After hearing Zi Yao's praise, everyone looked at this calligraphy treasure. They saw the four words "Business is booming" written in a dragon-snake style. It was majestic and superb. It was indeed a treasure.

While Bai Cha accepted the calligraphy treasure and asked Xuanfeng to hang it in the hall, he said to Zi Yao: "I think you are more outstanding than Sanjue. The 'Sanjue of Li Dynasty' was personally sealed by Emperor Wenzong's decree, but it was only a hundred years ago." It would be better for you to know what will happen next a hundred years in advance.”

Zi Yao raised her chin proudly: "Mortals have to wait a hundred years to find out. We are gods and can predict the unknown. What's the problem?"

"Zi Yao, do you think you are using your immortal privileges?" Huo Huo joked.

But Guolou responded on behalf of Zi Yao: "Don't you need special privileges, Your Highness Hualu? With the help of Queen Qingzhu, you can easily go to heaven and become a non-staff cultivator for three hundred years, then be sent to the human world, and then easily return to the South China Sea and become a general..."

"It's just that you are noble and don't rely on privileges."

Zi Yao and Guo Lou put their arms around each other and rolled their eyes at Hualou.

Sigh, I remembered that these two were still at odds with each other back then, but I didn’t expect that now that I was wearing a pair of pants, I became an outsider. Many grass and mud horses galloped past the coral heart.

Bai Cha ignored the three people's lawsuit and said: "Zhang Bogao was the captain of Changshu in the early days, and he became a long-term official in Jinwu. People also called him 'Zhang Changshi'. Zhang Changshi has an open-minded character and is uninhibited. How did you let him work for you?" To write such a tacky 'Business is booming' picture?"

Zi Yao said: "What's so difficult about this? Everyone has their own hobbies, and if they have their hobbies, then they have their weaknesses. Although Zhang Bogao was born in Suzhou, the paradise on earth, he doesn't love money and is aloof, but he is addicted to alcohol and often gets drunk. Inspired by calligraphy, his writing style is particularly like his own, and his cursive writing is as smooth as a dragon or a phoenix. He likes to drink, and he has his share of the "Four Scholars of Wuzhong" and the "Eight Immortals of Drinking". Just give him one. A jug of good wine, what else can't be exchanged for it? It's just a word. "

"Although his official career is impressive, he does not regard himself as powerful. He even entertains himself with poetry and wine, and his calligraphy is passed down to the world. If you can make friends with such a person, it will be a good thing." Bai Chadao.

Zi Yao nodded: "I am now Zhang Changshi's friend. I will bring him to the teahouse someday to take care of your business."

Coral was filled with jealousy and said, "Coral, you are quite familiar with this world."

"We are living in the human world now. We are not in the Garden of Heavenly Herbs, nor in the Compendium of Materia Medica, nor in the South China Sea. This means that people have to bow their heads under the eaves." Zi Yao defended.

Gao Lou said: "But Zi Yao, Zhang Changshi likes to drink, and 'Xiangming Yaxu' is a teahouse. Will he be willing to patronize it?"

"Isn't it just right to sober up with tea?"

Zi Yao's words made everyone laugh.

It’s Coral’s turn to give the gift. Coral presented a pair of golden toads carved from jasper, which can attract wealth. With coins in his mouth, he always smiles.

"May 'Xiangming Yaxu' have prosperous business and abundant financial resources."

After Hualu said the auspicious words, Zi Yao and Guo Lou said in unison: "You, Yemen, know nothing about this world."

Everyone laughed again.

But Shijun didn't smile. He was a little embarrassed and his face turned red. Everyone gave gifts, but he didn't give any gifts. He was born in a poor family and his life was given by white tea. There was really nothing he could give. of.

Bai Cha patted his head and said, "Live well and study medicine with three masters. This is the best gift you can give me."

Shijun nodded: "I understand, Sister White Snake."

Bai Cha looked at everyone and said, "You have all given gifts, so I should return the gifts."

Everyone thought she would perform a tea art for everyone and make a pot of tea for everyone, but no. Bai Cha took out a transparent bottle from his sleeve, which contained a big green locust, and said: "Locusts can be used as medicine. After grinding and processing, locust powder has the effects of nourishing, strengthening, replenishing qi and blood, and can be used for Treats symptoms of weakness, anemia and more.

After soaking locusts in liquor and fermenting, locust wine can be made, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, and can be used to treat rheumatic pain, bruises and other diseases.

Locusts are boiled together with other medicinal materials, and the active ingredients are extracted and made into a paste, which can be applied externally or taken orally to treat skin diseases such as sores, swollen skin, and scrofula.

You can use this Locust King as you see fit. "

Hualu and others took turns to look at the locusts in the bottle. They were all amazed and asked Bai Cha where the locust king came from, but Bai Cha didn't answer.

"Although this thing can be used as medicine, it is a pest after all, and its bite can be poisonous."

Coral muttered, and Bai Cha felt a pain in his arm, and the pain like needle pricks came back.

While everyone was talking, Xiaoqing walked in angrily and said, "Sister, go and have a look! Mr. Lu is so outrageous!"

Everyone was puzzled, so they went out of the tea room to see what happened.

In the lobby downstairs, a woman was standing.

The woman's body was still exuding the heat brought in from outside.

She wore a half-armor with a loose skirt. Although the material is linen, the texture is light and breathable, and the color is light blue with plain white, making it look fresh and natural.

The hem and cuffs of the dress are embroidered with some patterns, including lotus, bamboo, fish patterns, etc. It is a few simple stitches, but vivid and interesting. There is a thin belt around the waist, which is gently tied to outline the woman's soft waist.

The hairstyle is simple, combed into a low bun, fixed with a wooden comb, and only decorated with small hairpins and copper hairpins. A few strands of broken hair hang down in front of the forehead, adding a bit of softness.

Apply a thin layer of powder on her face, add a touch of rouge, apply a little cinnabar on her lips, and wear a pair of cloth sandals under her feet, as if she has come from the dusty world.

When Bai Cha walked to the lobby with everyone, the woman was crying in front of Lu Yu.
