The private rooms of Jingmingxuan are very unique, with small lattice doors, small lattice windows, and a bar made of lattice at the door. Most of the walls are surrounded by antique shelves made of lattice, with some ceramics placed on them.
In the middle of the box, there is a long square table of pear wood. Six chairs made of huanghuali are placed around the square table, making the whole room permeated with the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The area in the private room is very large, with a total area of 70 to 80 square meters. There is also a small living room near the bar at the door. A circle of bright red leather sofas surrounds a glass coffee table, facing the room.
On the wall next to the sofa, there is a large-screen 70-inch high-definition LCD TV, and an inconspicuous small speaker is placed in every corner of the room. The setting is a bit like a movie theater, but it is very good.
Integrated into the whole room, this can probably be regarded as a combination of old and new, a fusion of Chinese and Western styles.
At the door of the room is the sacred residence of Guan Gong, with three sticks of sandalwood burning on it. The long and light smoke fills the entire box. As soon as you enter the room, you can smell the refreshing fragrance, plus the fragrance that surrounds your ears.
The sound of guzheng makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Haha, ordinary people can't enter Xiao Song's private room. This coffee table and chairs are worth at least 1.8 million. We usually wouldn't let us sit in them. The fragrance is also special. You guys
You don’t know, but this is the fine sandalwood that Xiao Song goes to the Great Buddha Temple to beg for every New Year’s Day, and he has to burn it until the 15th day of the Lunar New Year without any break in between.”
After Shopkeeper Song entered the box, he sniffed with enjoyment, and then didn't even glance at the objects on the antique shelves. Instead, he walked to the square table and carefully rubbed the few items on Liu Chuan's face with his hands.
The square chair and table looked inconspicuous to the others, and they looked like they couldn't put it down.
Zhuang Rui's heart moved. Since the color of the aura in his eyes turned orange, he could see through the wood about one centimeter thick. Since Shopkeeper Lu flaunted these chairs like this, could they be antiques? Thinking of this, Zhuang Rui also
Following the example of Mr. Lu, I looked carefully at the huanghuali chair next to me.
Wearing glasses, Zhuang Rui was not afraid of other people's gaze. The moment he lowered his head, he released the spiritual energy in his eyes. The spiritual energy quickly penetrated from the delicate lines on the surface of the golden chair back, although it could not be completely penetrated.
It was transparent, but just when the spiritual energy entered the huanghuali wood, Zhuang Rui still felt an extremely weak breath fused with the spiritual energy.
That aura was so weak that it was almost difficult to detect. It was much weaker than the spiritual energy absorbed in the Sanhe Liuhulu yesterday. If Zhuang Rui hadn't been very focused, he wouldn't have been able to sense it. When Zhuang Rui looked at the second
When I opened the huanghuali wood chair, I really felt that the amount of spiritual energy in my eyes had indeed increased a little.
After making this discovery, Zhuang Rui stopped caring about others and pretended to be very interested in these antique chairs. He walked around the square table and looked at all six chairs. Naturally, he also took in the spiritual energy in them.
After absorbing all the energy, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the six huanghuali chairs is almost the same as the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the grasshopper gourd yesterday. Obviously, the spiritual energy contained in this antique is not based on its size.
of.
"Old man, please don't be harsh on me. One day we will go to your house to open the eyes of these juniors. Hey, brother Zhuang, are you also interested in Ming and Qing furniture?" Boss Song was greeting everyone to sit down with a smile.
Seeing Zhuang Rui circling the table as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but ask.
"I used to hear that Huanghuali antique furniture is valuable, but I have never seen it. I will be sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars later, so I have to take a closer look now..."
Zhuang Rui raised his head and pretended to be a money fan, which made everyone laugh. Then he was about to take a seat. After some pushing, Mr. Lu was allowed to take the seat. Song Jun accompanied him at the main seat. Everyone was
I sat down, but there were still two seats missing.
The few people who followed them into the teahouse put their things on the square table and then left. However, if we include the uninvited Xu Wei and Lei Lei Qin Xuanbing, there were still eight people in the box.
, but the six huanghuali chairs are not enough to sit on.
"Leilei, let's sit on the sofa. What's the use of that broken chair? Sitting on that thing in the cold weather doesn't hurt your buttocks..."
Seeing that Qin Xuanbing and Xu Wei both found a chair and sat down unceremoniously, Liu Chuan took Lei Lei to the sofa and sat down. They chatted with each other. The two of them were very interested in those antique manuscripts and so on.
Not interested. If Qin Xuanbing hadn't come, they wouldn't have joined in the fun.
After everyone sat down, Song Jun waved to the door, and two slender and good-looking waiters walked in. One of them was holding a tea set and placed it on the square table, while the other was holding a red clay tea set.
The small stove is placed on a round wooden pier next to the square table. The small red clay stove is long in shape, about six or seven inches high. The charcoal fire in the stove has been lit. The small stove also has a cover and door. It is very well made.
Exquisite.
The tea set is also very exquisite. It is a Yixing purple clay pot. The whole pot is about the size of a fist and is in the color of ancient iron maroon. There are six small tea cups on the four sides. It is as white as jade and as thin as paper. Zhuang Rui is very suspicious when he picks up this thing.
When you press it, if you use a little more strength, can you crush it?
"There are no outsiders here. To be honest, even if you think I run a teahouse, I actually drink tea in a big teacup. I don't pay much attention to it. I happened to find some Anxi top-quality Tieguanyin some time ago. Today we will also taste the Guangdong tea.
The popular Kung Fu tea.”
While Boss Song was greeting everyone, he motioned to the two waiters to boil water to make tea and taste the tea. Naturally, he had to taste the tea first. Except for Zhuang Rui, the people here have all been in the society for many years and are quite famous.
No one among them was in a hurry to touch the antiques brought by each person on the square table. They all watched the two waiters making tea with interest. Only Zhuang Rui was a little impatient, but he was immediately attracted by the two waiters.
The act of making tea attracted me.
Although the small red clay stove was small, the fire was very strong. In an instant, the water boiled. After the water boiled, a waiter picked up a small kettle, and another waiter immediately put another kettle on it.
Everyone introduced: "The water used to make tea in our teahouse is taken from the natural spring water on Yunlong Mountain. Su Dongpo once said, "Living water must be cooked with live fire", which means that a strong fire must be used to boil the mountain water in the pot.
spring."
The waiter first took an appropriate amount of tea with a teaspoon and placed it on the tea tray. Then he brought it to everyone to taste one by one and introduced the origin of Tieguanyin. After everyone had a look around, the waiter did not put the tea leaves.
Instead of entering the purple clay pot, you lift the kettle and pour boiling water over the empty pot. According to the waiter, the purpose of this action is to warm the pot body, which is the so-called "warming pot", also called Mengchen Linlin.
After "warming the pot", the waiter used a teaspoon to put the tea leaves into the purple clay pot, first thinning and then thickening the tea stems, which is called oolong entering the palace. Then he poured water into the pot. When the water filled the mouth of the pot, he stopped and stretched out
Use two fingers to pick up the lid and scrape off the foam on the mouth of the pot. Then close the lid and rinse away the foam on the top of the pot with boiling water. The action is extremely elegant and pleasing to the eye.
According to the waiter, this process is called pouring the pot. The purpose of pouring the pot is to clean the pot body and to heat both the inside and outside of the pot to promote the aroma of the tea.
Zhuang Rui's nose twitched, and he could smell the strong fragrance of tea at the tip of his nose. He thought, now he can finally drink it, but unexpectedly, the waiter poured out all the water in the purple clay pot, saying that this was called
The purpose of washing tea is to wash away the dust on the surface of the tea leaves. Zhuang Rui rolled his eyes at this.
When Zhuang Rui was working at a pawn shop, he often made tea with Uncle De, but Uncle De didn't pay so much attention to his tea. The tea set was just a pot and two cups. Unlike this, which lasted almost 20 minutes, actually
Haven't drunk it yet.
After pouring boiling water into the purple clay pot again, he used the first tea water to scald the cup. The waiter turned the cup with two fingers, which was called "warming the cup". Naturally, it was poured out again, and Zhuang Rui still couldn't drink it.
superior.
When it comes to the second brew, the waiter holds the pot with one hand and pours tea into each cup in a circular motion. The spout of the pot is close to the tea cup. This is called Guan Gong's inspection of the city. The purpose is to make the tea soup in the cup the same consistency, and the low pouring is to avoid making the cup full of tea.
If the aroma is too much and is lost, when the tea soup in the pot is almost empty, pour the remaining tea soup into each cup. These are the essence of the tea soup in the whole pot and should be poured evenly drop by drop, so it is nicknamed Han Xin Dianbing.
At this point, the entire process was demonstrated. At Boss Song's instruction, the first cup of tea was served to Mr. Lu.
The second cup of tea was offered to the lady. Qin Xuanbing was not polite. After taking it generously, she held the rim of the cup with her thumb and index finger, and pressed her middle finger against the bottom of the cup. However, she did not drink it directly, but held it up to the tip of her nose.
He smelled it everywhere, then divided it into three sips, and slowly drank it into his mouth. The whole process was smooth and smooth, without any smell of fireworks. Zhuang Rui was stunned when he saw it.
"Okay, you will know the taste after three mouthfuls, and you will be tempted after three times. The little girl is also a tea ceremony expert, but the old man was mistaken yesterday."
After seeing Qin Xuanbing's actions, Mr. Lu applauded repeatedly. His original dissatisfaction with Qin Xuanbing disappeared. You know, the tea ceremony is also a traditional Chinese culture, but not many young people understand it now, just like
Liu Chuan, who was sitting on the sofa, was drinking happily from a bottle of Coke.
