Jin Yutong

Chapter 288 Goodbye Bai Lao

Mr. Dai left so quickly that Chen Ran was stunned for a while.

Don't know any common sense about antiques?This is the first time someone has commented on him like this.

Shaking his head, Chen Ran thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on... It's just that Mr. Dai's pair of flower god cups are not genuine, which is absolutely true, and Chen Ran can be sure that he didn't It seems wrong, with this point, if Mr. Dai leaves directly, he will naturally not stop him.

After running for a long time, I finally got such a result. It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed, but there is no way to do it. It seems that if you want to collect a complete set of Kangxi colorful flower cups, you have to rely on Mr. Bai.

After Mr. Dai left, Chen Ran didn't stay long, and left the hotel. He drove directly from Yuzhou City to the expressway. Xuchang was already very close to Zhongdu, and it only took an hour. Chen Ran I rushed to Zhongdu.

When he came to Zhongdu this time, Chen Ran had something on his mind, so he didn't plan to go to Cao's house. Even if he did, he had to wait until he was done with work. When he arrived in Zhongdu, he called Lao Bai.

Without saying much on the phone, after learning that Bailao was in his Mingxiang Pavilion, Chen Ran drove over directly.

Entering the No. [-] alley, when you came to the entrance of Mingxiang Pavilion, a lady of etiquette in a cheongsam greeted you: "Boss Chen, you are here. Mr. Bai is waiting for you in the box."

Chen Ran is also a frequent visitor of Mingxiang Pavilion, and these etiquette ladies all know Chen Ran. Chen Ran just called Mr. Bai to say that he is coming, obviously Mr. Bai has already confessed.

Miss etiquette brought Chen Ran to the door of the box, then turned around and left. Just as Chen Ran was about to walk in, there was a sound of reprimand from the box.

"How many times have I told you not to let you collect things easily, but you just don't listen, you are not good at learning, and you always think about leak detection, look at how much tuition you have paid, how can you still improve a little bit?" No, people are always cheated and think they have made a big deal, how can there be such a good thing in this world..."

There are not many guests in Bailao's Mingxiang Pavilion, and there is no one here in the box, so Bailao himself kept the door of the box for meeting guests and did not close it. As soon as Chen Ran walked over, Bailao's voice came from the box.

Who is Bai Lao teaching a lesson?

"Mr. Bai, what's going on?" Chen Ran greeted outside the door first, then walked into the box, and when he entered the box, he saw Mr. Bai teaching a young man about his age, this time The young man was not annoyed by being taught a lesson by old man Bai, but instead 'licked' his face secretly happily.

Hearing Chen Ran's voice, Bai Lao and the young man immediately looked towards Chen Ran. Bai Lao, who was still stern, immediately greeted Chen Ran warmly when he saw Chen Ran.

"Xiao Ran, you are here, but you haven't come to my place for a while..."

Speaking of which, Chen Ran has indeed not been to Mr. Bai's place for a long time, and after returning from Guixiongling, he came to meet Mr. Bai. Since then, let alone meeting, he seldom made phone calls. , now that old man Bai mentioned it, Chen Ran was quite embarrassed.

"Mr. Bai, it's not that I don't want to come to see you, but that I haven't been in Zhongdu all this time. You see, I always think of you first when I go back to Zhongdu..." Chen Ran could only smile wryly and kept apologizing. It is true that he did something wrong. It seems that in the future, instead of talking about coming over often, at least he should make a phone call often to say hello, lest he think about coming here every time he has something to do.

Chen Ran's words made old man Bai smile heartily: "Your words are enough, come on, let's sit down and talk." Here he enthusiastically pulled Chen Ran to sit down, but on the other side he gave the young man an angry look : "Little bastard, don't roll aside yet."

The young man looked at Chen Ran, stepped aside with a smile, and said, "Master, you didn't introduce your guests to me. How can we say that we are all about the same age? It should be easier for us to find a common topic." Bar."

"Still have a common topic? What else do you do besides eating, drinking and having fun? Don't look at you and Xiaoran are about the same age. Compared with Xiaoran, you are far behind..." The words of the young man almost rolled the eyes of old man Bai, saying yes That said, he still introduced the young man to Chen Ran.

This young man is the grandson of old man Bai, but not the grandson of old man Bai, but the grandson of old man Bai's younger brother. Old man Bai himself has no grandson, so he is raised as his own grandson.

Mr. Bai's family can be regarded as a family of porcelain. This kid became addicted to playing antiques. Unfortunately, he is not good at learning, and he is always cheated.

It is worth mentioning that this kid's name is Bai Lei.

"What are you doing in a daze, make tea for Xiaoran."

Old man Bai glared at Bai Lei angrily, then looked at Chen Ran with great interest, and said impatiently: "Xiao Ran, what kind of good thing did you say you brought me a good thing, quickly take it out and give it to the old man. Get acquainted."

"Brother Bai, wait." Hearing what Old Master Bai said, Chen Ran suddenly stopped Bai Lei, who was going to make tea, then turned to look at Old Master Bai with a chuckle: "Mr. Bai, you are a tea lover. The first time I came here, I brought you some tea that you haven't drunk before, let you taste it..."

Before Chen Ran finished speaking, Bai Lei, who was stopped by Chen Ran and stood aside, couldn't help but burst out laughing: "The good thing you brought is tea, I thought it was a good thing, my uncle Traveling all over the world, I haven't drunk any tea..."

"Oh? Tea?" The old man Bai's eyes lit up, obviously interested, he naturally guessed that Chen Ran would definitely not bring him ordinary tea. Chen Ran said that he had never even drunk tea, which made him laugh He was very curious, the tea that he had never drunk before?

This is also Chen Ran. If he changed to the tea that other people said he had never drunk, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, but Chen Ran was different. He has heard about all the things, not to mention the leak detection, such as Huadu's sudden eight-knife splitting wave carving method, etc. He knows that this young man is always able to bring miracles to people. So he was very interested in the tea that Chen Ran said that even he had drunk.

"Don't prepare yet! Xiao Ran, don't worry, this little bastard speaks without restraint..." Mr. Bai glared at Bai Lei first, and then looked at Chen Ran's opened leather bag with interest. The leather bag was bulging, so he smiled and said, "Xiaoran, besides tea, are there other good things? You just take them out."

"Mr. Bai, please allow me to keep it a secret first." Chen Ran rummaged through the special tea leaves in the leather bag, and shook his head with a smile. The three flower god cups, Mr. Bai is such a lover of porcelain, he obviously regards the flower god cups as treasures, and it takes a lot of brainpower to get these three flower god cups from old man Bai .

Chen Ran is still very confident. If it were someone else who he could not trust, he would definitely not reveal the fact that he had the sweet-scented osmanthus cup in his hand, but Mr. Bai is naturally different, no Saying all seven, and only showing the broken osmanthus cup he brought to Mr. Bai, it will definitely shock Mr. Bai... "How did you learn this trick..." Bai The old man couldn't help laughing, Chen Ran didn't say that, he was fine, hearing what Chen Ran said, it aroused his strong curiosity, Chen Ran showed him this, obviously, what he wanted to show him , That is definitely a good thing, which made him feel itchy, but fortunately, his attention was immediately attracted by the tea leaves that Chen Ran found out.

"This is..." Mr. Bai couldn't help being puzzled when he saw the earthen pot that Chen Ran found out. The earthen pot was said to be an earthen pot, but it was not. In fact, it was just a lump of mud that was simply fired. A lump of mud.

Bai Lei also came in, and placed a set of deep red purple sand pots on the wooden table. The purple sand pots were only about the size of a baby's fist, and four small cups of the same color, the cups were only big enough to fill your fingers, set them up After that, he watched Chen Ran's movements curiously.

Chen Ran didn't say much, he turned the earthen pot out and put it on the wooden table, and tapped on it with the clips. As he tapped, the mud debris on it was smashed piece by piece and fell on the table , After knocking twice, a hole was knocked out, revealing the green tea leaves inside, the tea leaves were very green, the grass was so green, it didn't look like burnt tea leaves at all.

Seeing this scene, old man Bai and Bai Lei were quite surprised. They had also seen the process of burning tea, but this was the first time they had seen tea preserved in this way.

"Don't knock off all the soil outside, just knock out a hole like this, it's better to preserve it like this."

The tea leaves inside were 'exposed' from the opening of the hole, so Chen Ran stopped knocking, took out a little tea with a tong, put it into a small purple sand pot, and closed the lid.

"The next task of making tea will be handed over to you, I will just wait and drink."

Chen Ran is not an expert in making tea, so he will not be ashamed in front of an expert like Mr. Bai.

Chen Ran's words made old man Bai laugh. Originally, Bai Lei wanted to make tea, but old man Bai pushed him aside and started to do it himself.

Needless to say, Mr. Bai's tea making skills, this is the first time Chen Ran saw Bai Lao making tea with his own eyes, and his meticulous skills are really insightful.

Before the tea was ready, a strong fragrance wafted out, which made people's mind clear, and an inexplicable desire to try it arose in their hearts.

After the tea was brewed, Mr. Bai covered the lid of the purple clay pot, and then turned the purple clay pot upside down again. Green tea flowed out from the small eye on the purple sand lid, into the purple sand cup like a small pen holder. Half filled, the tea is green and fragrant.

Before Chen Ran asked them to try it, old man Bai and Bai Lei couldn't wait to pick up their cups and taste it.

As soon as the tea touched the tongue, it felt slightly bitter at first, a bit like drinking traditional Chinese medicine, and then the bitterness reached the root of the tongue, and immediately a strong and mellow fragrance "forced" into the brain, refreshing, and the tongue was full Sweet, its taste is endless.

"Master Bai, brother Bai, how about this tea? It's not bad..."

After asking, Chen Ran picked up the teacup and tasted it. This taste was a bit unexpected. This time, the taste was much better than the one he drank before. Obviously, this is the skill of old man Bai in making tea. .

"Good tea, Xiaoran, where did you get this tea?"

After taking a sip, old man Bai closed his eyes and took a deep breath as if enjoying himself. After a while, he opened his eyes and held the teacup up to his nose to smell it. Suddenly, there was a scent of fragrance, and he couldn't help it. Tsk tsk praised loudly, he had never tasted this tea before, and it was very different from the tea he drank before... "This is a friend, by the way, it is a junior of Master Miao who uses soil. The method is specially made..."

Chen Ran was about to say it was a friend, when he suddenly remembered that Mr. Bai also knew Master Miao, so he simply explained it like this.

"It turned out to be the tea specially made by Master Miao's family..."

Mentioning Master Miao, Mr. Bai was immediately in awe. When Chen Ran said this, he suddenly remembered the relationship between Master Miao and Chen Ran. He knew the special treatment Master Miao gave to Chen Ran. Master Miao's relationship, but naturally he would not take the liberty of inquiring about it.

Now that he knows the special relationship between Master Miao and Chen Ran, it is not surprising that Chen Ran can get the tea specially made by Master Miao's family.

"Xiaoran, you have a heart..."

Old man Bai fell in love with this tea as soon as he took a sip. Needless to say, the preciousness of this tea made him very happy that Chen Ran could think of him. Putting down the tea cup, he looked at Chen Ran and said with a smile: "Little Of course, your tea leaves gave me a big surprise. I just don’t know if you can surprise me with the good things you said. Take out the good things that came and have a look..."
