Jack didn't quite understand why Luo Tian was in a hurry to go out, so he grabbed Jack's wrist in a hurry: "Hey, why are you leaving in a hurry? I haven't finished reading yet, Luo Tian!"
Luo Tian wanted to vomit blood and pulled Jack out, and then explained to him: "The Chinese have a saying that there are rules in the industry. We are all in the same industry and cannot tear each other down. I just told you that the jade is a high imitation.
There are other customers present. Isn't this just tearing down someone else's desk? It's all your fault. I can't do two things at the same time now, so I went to tear down someone else's desk. I'll really be embarrassed to see people in the future."
"Is it that serious?" Jack didn't quite understand China's rules.
"Of course, I'm afraid this is not something you, a foreigner, can understand." Luo Tian said, "Okay, let's go to another store and have a look. You're taking so long, I don't know when we can finish the transfer."
"Okay." Jack pointed to the Four Treasures Shop: "Just go there."
"Are you so interested in the Chinese Four Treasures of the Study?" Luo Tian was surprised. For foreigners, they like novel things. The more novel the better, the traditional Chinese Four Treasures of the Study are not that exciting.
The Four Treasures of the Study actually refers to pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. The name of the Four Treasures of the Study originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Historically, the meaning of the "Four Treasures of the Study" has changed frequently. In the Southern Tang Dynasty, the "Four Treasures of the Study" specifically referred to Zhuge's pen, Huizhou Li Tinggui's ink, and so on.
Chengxintang paper, Longwei inkstone from Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province. Since the Song Dynasty, the "Four Treasures of the Study" have specifically referred to Hu brush (Huzhou, Zhejiang Province), Hui ink (Huizhou, Anhui Province), rice paper (Xuanzhou, Anhui Province), and Duan inkstone (Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, known as Duan in ancient times).
state).
This Wenfang Sibao store opened a little later than Qifangzhai, but it is one of the three oldest stores in the antique street. The business has always been good, especially loved by many students. Isn't there a retro trend recently?
When Luo Tian walked in, Boss Zhong immediately beamed: "Boss Luo, it's better to come by chance than by chance. I was planning to go to Qifangzhai."
"Oh, it seems I came at the right time." Luo Tian asked doubtfully: "I wonder what you want to see me for?"
"Boss Luo, come with me. I want to ask you to help me look at something." Boss Zhong led Luo Tian into the inner room. Jack naturally followed closely behind. Luo Tian couldn't help but give another introduction.
Boss Zhong's shop is simply too neat compared to Prince Zeng's. Prince Zeng's upstairs is completely messy, but Boss Zhong's interior is decorated in an antique style, and the simulated ancient paintings hanging on the walls add a sense of charm to the room.
Regarding the furniture, Luo Tian blurted out: "This is Chaoshan style furniture. Is Boss Zhong from Chaoshan?"
The walls are decorated with thick and deep colors, the wooden floor is deliberately raised, the low square coffee table and stools, and the foldable ink screen create a strong Chaoshan style. This is a typical Chaoshan style. Chaoshan
People are very particular about returning to their ancestral roots, and they will always be proud of Chaoshan people wherever they go.
"Boss Luo is really smart. Yes, I am from Chaoshan and I miss my hometown very much, so I have to create an atmosphere for myself so that I can smell the smell of my hometown when I stay here." Boss Zhong spoke very elegantly.
It is rare, because most people in Chaoshan have low academic qualifications, but they are very flexible when it comes to business. When working hard in other places, they will stick together as a team, so they have a high chance of success. However, relatively speaking, they inevitably have some deficiencies in their background. This clock
The boss is an exception. Every sentence he speaks has a literary touch.
"Both of you, please take a seat." Boss Zhong turned around to make tea. This is related to the identity of Chaoshan people. Chaozhou people love Kung Fu tea. Chaozhou Gongfu tea is the Chaoshan tea ceremony, which is the most representative tea ceremony of my country's ancient tea culture. According to research, tea culture has been very complete during the Tang Dynasty. People along the coast like to drink tea very much. In Chaoshan, tea is regarded as the best etiquette for entertaining guests and has been improved. This is not only because tea has many aspects. It has a health-preserving effect because tea has had the artistic conception of "treating a gentleman to purify the mind and body" since ancient times.
Chaoshan Gongfu Tea generally has only three cups for four guests. Chaoshan people have a saying of "tea, three, and wine for four." The reason why there are only three cups for four people is to reflect the spirit of courtesy of Chaoshan people. Brewing is done by the host himself. First, light the fire.
Boil water and put the tea leaves into the pot, accounting for 70% of its volume. When the water boils, pour it into the pot and then cover it with foam. For the first cup, pour the first brewed tea into the cup.
The purpose is to create an atmosphere that is full of spirit and charm of tea. After washing the tea, add the shrimp water. At this time, the tea leaves have been brewed, and the nature and flavor have been developed, so you can pour the tea.
When pouring tea, three teacups are placed around each other to form the word "taste", which highlights the importance of morality among fashionable people. The tea cup is circulated between the three cups until each cup is seventy percent full. At this time, the tea in the jar is
It should also be poured out, and the remaining tea needs to be poured into the three cups one by one. Chaoshan people call this process "Guan Gong patrolling the city" and "Han Xin ordering troops."
The quantity and color must be uniform and uniform to achieve superior skills. Finally, the host will pour the tea and serve it in front of the guests in order of age and age. The host will pay respect to the leader first, then the guests around him, and himself last.
The tea set of Gongfu tea, including the stove, is a small red charcoal stove, usually one foot and two inches high. The tea pot is made of fine white clay. The boiler is two inches high, with a bottom as big as the mouth of a bowl. The single handle is nearly three inches long.
The pot is as big as a tomato and is made of Chaoshan clay pottery. The teacup is as small as a walnut and is made of porcelain. Its walls are extremely thin. Boss Zhong's tea set is extremely expensive. Luo Tian can tell just by looking at it.
Seeing Boss Zhong strictly following the order of Kung Fu Tea, Luo Tian was greatly impressed. Jack seemed to have his eyes opened and wanted to get involved. Luo Tian held him down and said, "Be honest and wait until there is good tea."
That’s it.”
"Haha, when foreigners see us making tea, they always think it's like doing Kung Fu. They find it very novel. This is Jack? If you still have time, you can come over and I'll teach you how to make Kung Fu tea." Boss Zhong was very kind.
No wonder the business is so good, everyone's temperament and aura always attract some people.
"Really? That's great." Jack was excited.
Holding the hot tea, Luo Tian took a sip and immediately praised: "It really has a sweet aftertaste, it is indeed a good tea. Boss Zhong invited me to drink such a good tea, don't you know?"
"Of course I have something to ask for." Boss Zhong said, "I have something I would like to ask Boss Luo to help me with. I wonder if that's okay?"
"After drinking the good tea collected by Boss Zhong, if I don't agree, it will be my fault." Luo Tian said with a smile: "I don't know what it is?"
