When does the West Lake dance stop, and the warm wind makes tourists drunk.

People come and go as before, the water on the West Lake is sparkling, and the breeze blows over the sparkling lake, thousands of willows with green silk ribbons hanging down, and blows into Huiyuan Pavilion.

On the west side of the West Lake, stands a five-storey restaurant with flowing eaves and flying pavilions, which is magnificent. On the gold-plated plaque on the top, the three characters "Huiyuan Pavilion" are written, flying and dancing, with extraordinary momentum.

There are crowds of people in front of Huiyuan Pavilion, and the building is also lively and noisy, and the sound of wine and wine can be heard all over the West Lake.

Xue Poye looked at the magnificent Huiyuan Pavilion, and sighed secretly. Although Lanyuexuan's decoration industry can be regarded as exquisite, and the source of tourists is also constant, compared with this glamorous Huiyuan Pavilion, there is still a big difference. difference.

Before coming to Huiyuan Pavilion, the waiter took the golden lion down to feed it very attentively. This golden lion is a rare Huma, and many guests immediately looked at Xue Poye with admiration.

Pulling over a clerk, Xue Poye asked with a smile: "Is there a guest named Yuan here?"

Since Yuan Buyi is very wealthy, it must have been arranged to invite him here, and sure enough, the guy immediately said respectfully: "Is the uncle's surname Xue?"

Xue Poye nodded, presumably Hu San told Yuan Buyi his name.

"Uncle Xue, Uncle Yuan is waiting for you on the fifth floor. Our servants can't go up to disturb you. Please go up by yourself!" The clerk nodded and bowed, looking extremely attentive, Xue Poye naturally understood that this clerk was so respectful and attentive, definitely not because of In terms of his own face, it was entirely Yuan Buyi's fault.

Amidst the noise, walk through the hall and ascend the stairs, slowly go up, and gradually go up, the noise gradually subsides, and when you reach the corridor on the fifth floor, you can only hear the faint shouts downstairs, but there is no movement upstairs.

Turn left on the third floor and there is a circular arch. Xue Poye knocked lightly on the door, and a hoarse voice came from inside: "Please come in!"

Hearing this voice, Xue Poye felt a little uncomfortable. The voice seemed to come from hell, low and strange, hoarse and as cold as a blade rubbing against it.

Xue Poye opened the door and entered, only to see that the fifth floor was empty, with exquisite and rich decorations, pear wood tables and chairs, antique desks, and a few paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls. Knowing that these calligraphy and paintings are all from the hands of the names, one of the landscape paintings is under the seal of Zhao Tianru, this Zhao Tianru is a famous painter in Dachu, and his paintings are hung here, but Huiyuan Pavilion has paid for it.

Although the fifth floor is very large and empty, it doesn't feel very empty. The desks, tables and chairs are arranged with extreme care, which only makes people feel luxurious.

Xue Poye was a little puzzled, but there was no one on the fifth floor of Nuo Da, could it be that Yuan Buyi booked the venue?If this is the case, then Yuan Buyi is really awesome, for such a big cost for a mere meal.

I looked around, but I didn't see Yuan Buyi for a while, I was wondering, but I smelled a faint fragrance, I sniffed it, and I couldn't help showing my face, ****, isn't this the smell of tea?Could it be that Yuan Buyi is making tea?

Walking to the left following the smell of tea, I saw a small coal stove near the window sill, and a very elegant purple sand pot was driving on the stove. Look at the shape and quality of the purple sand pot, it is definitely first-class and high-quality. When it was on fire, the teapot was emitting light smoke, and the aroma of tea was coming out of it.

The tea maker even made Xue Poye gasp.

Xue Poye knew that there was an upright official in the Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian, his face was as black as coal, as if crawling out of coal ash, but this was just heard, although he had seen many African blacks, but Asian faces It is rare for a black person to see a tea maker at this time, but he admired the world as expected. This tea maker really has a face like charcoal, with a dark face, but the red lips are extremely conspicuous.

Although the tea maker has extremely dark skin, the clothes on his body are incomparably luxurious. In addition to the top-grade brocade fabric, they are also sewn with gold thread. Both his left and right hands are wearing big golden rings Well, at first glance, this man looks like a nouveau riche, extremely luxurious and flaunting his wealth.

It happened that such a rich and luxurious figure was kneeling on the ground, with his sleeves rolled up, holding a small fan in his right hand, fanning the stove.

For him, it seemed that there was nothing more important than making tea at this time. Even though Xue Poye was beside him, this person ignored him.

Xue Poye didn't speak, just sat down on the chair next to him and watched him make tea.

"I cook Dongting Biluochun!" The tea maker was still making tea patiently, but suddenly said a word.

Xue Poye said "oh", he didn't know the importance of tea ceremony, but he had read a lot of books and heard about several kinds of tea, such as West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Junshan Yinzhen, Lushan Yunfeng, Yunnan Pu'er, Anxi Tieguanyin and Dongting Biluochun are all famous teas.

"Because of Hung-chien's theory, the tea ceremony became very popular!" The tea maker seemed to be talking to Xue Poye, and then he said to himself: "It has been recorded in "Feng Shi's Experience and History", you are invited today Come, I will make tea to welcome guests!"

Xue Poye first saw him looking like a nouveau riche, and thought he was a businessman who only knew the smell of copper, but now he heard a few words from him, but felt that he was very elegant, which was quite different from his golden and rich appearance.

"Mr. seems to be very knowledgeable about the tea ceremony. I'm ashamed. I'm stupid, but I don't know anything!" Xue Poye smiled lightly, it seems that this person is not as vulgar as his appearance.

The tea maker looked at Xue Poye and asked, "Xue Poye?"

Xue Poye nodded and asked, "Yuan Buyi?"

The tea maker chuckled and nodded.

Xue Poye saw that when he smiled, the muscles on his face didn't move, only the corners of his mouth floated up, and the muscles on his face seemed extremely stiff, which was very strange, so he couldn't help but feel very strange.

"There are three points and three no points in the tea ceremony!" Yuan Buyi eloquently said: "New tea, sweet spring, and clean utensils are one, good weather is one, and elegant guests who are elegant and like-minded are one; otherwise, they are three no points! The top floor of Huiyuan Pavilion is cool and fresh, which is suitable for brewing tea. I look at the whole of Hangzhou, and only here can brew good tea!"

Xue Poye was startled and said, "You didn't come to Huiyuan Pavilion just to make tea?"

Yuan Buyi looked up at Xue Poye, and said calmly: "What's so strange about this? In this tall building, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery when you enter, and you can have a panoramic view of the West Lake at night, and you can also make tea and drink tea when you retreat. Yinzi will wrap up this floor as my property, free and unrestricted, isn't it good?"

Xue Poye didn't expect this gentleman to have such sentimentality, but of course the few taels of silver in his mouth is not a small sum, and it is not a small amount of courage to buy a floor of the most popular Huiyuan Pavilion next to the West Lake.

Xue Poye coughed twice. He didn't come here to make tea and drink tea, so he asked directly: "I heard that your Excellency wants to buy a horse?"

Yuan Buyi waved his hand, still smiling with stiff facial muscles: "Let's not talk about this first, just take a break and taste the Biluochun I cooked." He shook the fan in his hand and turned up the heat.

Since it came, it was safe, Xue Poye was not impatient, looked around, and saw a bottle of ancient brown tea table next to the stove, and a clean purple sand tea set was placed on the table, spotless and very clean.

"This tea set is divided into celadon tea set and purple sand tea set. If we want to taste Biluochun, we can only use purple sand as the main one. Not only should we use purple sand pots to make tea, but we should also use purple sand cups for this tea!" Yuan Buyi seemed to be aware of Xue Poye. Noticing those gaps, he said eloquently: "Lao Tzu said, to the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet, and all things work together, and I can see their recovery. All things return to their roots. Returning to the root means tranquility, and tranquility means returning to life. Zhuangzi also It is said that calm water is a candle to a man's eyebrows, and the level is accurate, and the master master took the method. The calm water is bright, but the spirit. The heart of a saint, calm, is the mirror of heaven and earth, and the mirror of all things. Seeing nature with a clear mind, insight into nature, self-reflection, and comprehending the supreme magic of morality, we brew tea and drink tea, which is to reminisce about the state of mind of the ancients, to taste the elegance and simplicity in it, and the simplicity of the ancient times!"

Xue Poye was dumbfounded when he heard that, he never thought that this guy was so knowledgeable, if he took off his rich clothes, he might really look like a recluse, but he was almost mistaken before.

Biluochun was finally cooked, Yuan Buyi first asked Xue Poye to sit down by the tea table, put away the purple sand cup, brought the purple sand pot, and poured tea into the purple sand cup gently like a stream, gurgling like a trickle, faintly The scent of tea permeated the air, got into Xue Poye's nose, and seemed to spread in every blood vessel in his body. He was really relaxed and happy, and his whole body was smooth. Just smelling the faint scent of tea, he felt indescribably comfortable.
