Chapter 31 Tea tasting
Luo Feng made a haha, he didn't seem to be very impressed with this person, he came forward to introduce Li Zhi and Wang Haoming, and let them go to a big box inside.

He didn't know Luo Yuwei's background at all, so how could he introduce her.

But Yang Wei could see that Luo Yuwei and Xin Rui seemed to be Li Zhi's female companions, and those eyes hidden behind the glasses carefully looked at Li Zhi.

"Yang Wei, impotence is almost the same. He can still laugh when he is rejected face to face. What the hell?"

Li Zhi, who was walking at the end, whispered in Wang Haoming's ear that the way Yang Wei looked at Xin Rui just now made him very upset.

The boxes of Jingmingxuan are very distinctive, with small lattice doors, small lattice windows, a bar counter made of lattices at the door, and half a circle around the walls are antique shelves made of lattices, on which some ceramics are placed. crock.

In the middle of the box, there is a long pear-wood square table, surrounded by six chairs made of huanghuali, making the whole room permeated with a style of Ming and Qing architecture.

The area of ​​the private box is very large, about seventy or eighty square meters, and there is a small living room near the bar at the entrance.

A circle of bright red leather sand surrounds a glass coffee table, and a large 7-inch high-definition LCD TV is hung on the wall facing the sand.

In every corner of the room, there is an inconspicuous small speaker. The setting is a bit like a movie theater, but it is well integrated into the room as a whole. This is probably a combination of old and new, a combination of Chinese and Western.

At the door is Guan Gong's divine residence, on which three sticks of sandalwood are lit, and the long and faint smoke fills the entire private room.

As soon as you enter the room, you can smell the refreshing fragrance, coupled with the sound of guzheng around your ears, it makes you feel refreshed.

"Hehe, ordinary people can't get in Xiao Luo's box. The coffee table and chairs are worth at least 80 yuan. Usually, they are not willing to let us sit in it. The fragrance is also particular about it."

"Don't you know, this is the high-quality sandalwood that Xiao Luo goes to the Great Buddha Temple every year on the first day of the new year to ask for it. He has to light it until the fifteenth day, without stopping in between."

After the shopkeeper Luo entered the box, he sniffed happily, and then didn't even glance at the objects on the antique shelves.

Instead, he walked to the square table and carefully stroked the chairs and square table, which seemed inconspicuous in the eyes of Li Zhi and others, with a look of love.

Wang Haoming's heart moved, and he followed Mr. Lu's example and carefully looked at the huanghuali chair beside him.

Wearing glasses, Wang Haoming was not afraid of other people's stares. The moment he bowed his head, he released his spiritual power, and the spiritual power penetrated quickly from the delicate lines on the surface of the golden chair back.

Just when the spiritual power entered the huanghuali wood, Wang Haoming still felt an extremely weak aura merged with the spiritual power.

That breath was so weak that it was almost undetectable, much weaker than the spiritual power absorbed in that Sanhe Liu gourd yesterday, if Wang Haoming hadn't been very focused, he wouldn't have been able to sense it.

When Wang Haoming looked at the second yellow rosewood chair, he really felt that the amount of spiritual power in his eyes had indeed increased.

After making this discovery, Wang Haoming ignored others and pretended to be very interested in these antique chairs. He walked around the square table and looked at all six chairs.

Naturally, all the spiritual power was absorbed. The spiritual power absorbed by the six huanghuali chairs was comparable to the spiritual power absorbed by the grasshopper gourd yesterday.

Obviously, the spiritual power contained in this antique is not based on its size.

"Grandpa, don't bother me. If we can't, let's go to your house one day and open the eyes of these juniors. Hey, brother Wang, are you also interested in Ming and Qing furniture?"

Boss Luo was smiling and calling everyone to sit down. Seeing Wang Haoming walking around the table as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help asking.

"I used to hear that antique huanghuali furniture is valuable, but I've never seen it before. I'm going to sit on hundreds of thousands of it, so I have to take a good look at it now."

Wang Haoming raised his head and pretended to be a money fan, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Only then did they prepare to take their seats, after giving way, they let Old Master Lu take the upper seat, Luo Feng accompanied him in the main seat, everyone sat down, only two seats were missing.

The few people who followed them into the teahouse put the things in their hands on the square table and then withdrew.

But if you count Yang Wei, Xin Rui, and Luo Yuwei who arrived uninvited, there are still eight people in the box, and the six huanghuali chairs are not enough to sit on.

"Xin Rui, let's go sit on the sofa. What's the use of that broken chair? You won't be bored sitting on that thing."

Seeing that Luo Yuwei and Yang Wei unceremoniously found a chair to sit down, Li Zhi took Xin Rui to the side of the sofa and sat down, chatting with each other.

These two people are not interested in those antique manuscripts, if not for Luo Yuwei's insistence on coming, they would not join in the fun.

After everyone sat down, Luo Feng waved to the door, and two slender and good-looking waiters walked in, each holding a tea set in his hand and placing it on the square table.

The other person was holding a small red clay stove and placed it on a round wooden pier beside the square table. The small red clay stove was long and about six or seven inches high. The charcoal fire in the stove had already been lit. There are also lids and doors, which are very delicately made.

The tea set is also very elegant. It is a Yixing purple sand pot. The whole pot is about the size of a fist and is an ancient iron chestnut color. There are six small teacups on the four sides. The color is as white as jade and the quality is as thin as paper.

Wang Haoming wondered if he could crush it if he used a little more strength when he picked it up.

"There are no outsiders here. To be honest, don't look at me as a teahouse. In fact, I always drink tea in a big teacup. I don't pay much attention to it. It happened that I found some top-quality Tieguanyin in Anxi some time ago. Popular Kung Fu tea."

While greeting everyone, Boss Luo signaled to the two waiters to boil water and make tea, and to appreciate the treasures of the tea. Naturally, the tea should be tasted first.

Except for Wang Haoming, all the people present here have been in the society for many years, and they are quite wealthy people. No one is in a hurry to touch the antiques brought by everyone on the square table. They all looked at the two with great interest. The waiter makes tea.

Only Wang Haoming felt a little impatient, but he was immediately attracted by the actions of the two waiters making tea.

Although the small red clay stove is small, the fire is very strong. In an instant, the water boiled. After the water boiled, a waiter picked up the small kettle.

And another waiter immediately put another kettle on it, and introduced to everyone: "The water used to make tea in our teahouse is all from the natural mountain spring water on Yunlong Mountain. Su Dongpo once said, "Live water must be cooked with live fire." , means to boil the mountain spring water in the pot with a high fire."

The waiter first took an appropriate amount of tea leaves with a teaspoon and put them in the tea appreciation tray, and then served them to everyone to taste one by one, and introduced the origin of Tieguanyin. After everyone looked around, the waiter did not put the tea leaves into the purple sand pot.

Instead, he lifts the kettle and pours boiling water into the empty kettle. According to the waiter, the purpose of this behavior is to warm the body of the kettle, which is the so-called "warm kettle", also called Mengchen Linlin.

Wang Haoming's nose twitched, and he could already smell the strong aroma of tea at the tip of his nose. He thought, he could drink it now.

Unexpectedly, the waiter directly poured out all the water in the purple sand pot, saying that this is called washing tea, and the purpose is to wash away the dust on the surface of the tea leaves. Wang Haoming rolled his eyes when he saw it.

After pouring boiling water into the purple sand pot again, the cup was scalded with the first brewed tea water. The waiter turned the cup with two fingers. superior.

When it comes to the second brewing, the waiter holds the pot with one hand and pours tea into each cup circularly, with the mouth of the pot next to the teacups.

And low pouring is to prevent the aroma from being lost too much. When the tea soup in the pot is almost exhausted, pour the remaining tea soup into each cup. These are the essence of the tea soup in the whole pot. It is nicknamed Han Xin's order of soldiers.

At this point, the demonstration of the whole set of procedures was completed. Under Boss Luo's signal, the first cup of tea was served to Mr. Lu.

The second cup of tea was offered to the lady, and Luo Yuwei was not polite, and took it generously.

Then hold the rim of the cup with your thumb and index finger, and hold the bottom of the cup with your middle finger. Instead of drinking it directly, you smell it from the tip of your nose, and then divide it into three sips and slowly drink it into your mouth.
