There are no private rooms, but the teahouse feels very quiet. Many people gather around to watch chess. Even if someone expresses their opinions, they do so in a low voice, as if they are afraid of disrupting the players' thinking. It is already past six o'clock in the evening.
In other places, teahouses usually serve breakfast and are closed to the public in the evening, but Luoluochun is unique and popular. The waitress in silk cheongsam carries a bronze long-mouthed kettle to store water for chess players; in addition to the fragrance of tea
In addition, there are all kinds of meals, exuding rich aroma.
Fang Zhicheng searched in the hall for a while, but couldn't find Wan Heng. His cell phone rang. After the call was connected, Wan Heng guided through the phone: "I have seen you, on your right, walk a few steps east.
Then you can see me."
Fang Zhicheng has not met Wan Heng in person, but he is the organization director of the municipal party committee and should have seen his own information, so it is natural for him to know his appearance.
Fang Zhicheng looked eastward, turned around a wall, and saw Wan Heng waving to him. He originally thought that Wan Heng was a good-looking man, but he didn't expect that he seemed very ordinary and not very tall.
He was only about 1.7 meters tall. He was wearing a gray coat and had a gloomy face. His temperament was more like that of an ordinary worker.
Fang Zhicheng walked over with a smile and said, "Hello, Minister Wan!"
Wan Heng waved his hand and said calmly: "Drink tea!"
Wan Heng's attitude is as rumored, extremely arrogant. You can feel a sense of self-confidence from him. This self-confidence does not make people uncomfortable. It is not the ordinary self-confidence, but the connotation and taste exuded in every gesture.
When Fang Zhicheng looked at Wan Heng again, he found that he had suddenly changed. There is a kind of person who can make others ignore his appearance. Wan Heng is this kind of person. As soon as he opens his mouth, other people's attention is not on his appearance, but on his appearance.
Pay attention to his words and conversations.
This is a very special person. Fang Zhicheng has met many officials with unique personalities, but the feeling Wan Heng brings to him is unique.
Fang Zhicheng took a sip of tea and said without concealing his surprise: "Good tea!"
Wan Heng squinted his eyes and asked, "What's a good idea?"
Fang Zhicheng knew that Wan Heng was testing himself, and he suspected that he was being perfunctory and pretending not to understand.
Fang Zhicheng said: "The advantage of this tea is that the tea soup is refreshing, the aftertaste is clear, and it makes the mouth water. For ordinary green tea, the fragrance of the tea soup is absolutely related to the quality of the tea leaves, but the tea used in this tea soup is not the best tea. It is very
It’s just an ordinary new tea in early spring, but the water you choose definitely has a different reaction. I thought it should be well water, and it is an old well with a history of hundreds of years.”
When Wan Heng heard what Fang Zhicheng said, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said: "Zhicheng, have you been to Luluochun before?"
Fang Zhicheng knew that his guess was good, but Wan Heng didn't believe it. He could tell the quality of the tea just by taking a sip of the tea.
Fang Zhicheng took another sip of tea and said, "If you, Minister Wan, think that I know the origin of this tea because I have been here before, then you might as well think so."
Wan Heng carefully looked at Fang Zhicheng's drinking posture and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a master of tea ceremony. It seems that I chose the right place to meet you in this teahouse today."
Ordinary people drink tea very casually, mostly because they are thirsty, drinking water like a cow. But people who are used to drinking tea have a fixed posture when holding a cup. Fang Zhicheng drank two cups of tea, and his posture every time he tasted tea.
They are all exactly the same. First, put it to your nose to smell the tea, then put it to your lips, feel the temperature of the water, and then slowly lower it down your throat in three sips.
Wan Heng is also a person who observes carefully. Fang Zhicheng drank tea twice, and his movements were exactly the same. He then realized that Fang Zhicheng was not being mystical, and he did understand the tea ceremony.
Wan Heng poured another cup of tea for Fang Zhicheng and explained to him the origin of the green radish spring, "When Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, the salt merchants of Hanzhou built a beautiful courtyard for Emperor Qianlong on the bank of Hanzhou Lake. Qianlong
One day, the emperor changed into casual clothes and found a teahouse near the courtyard to taste tea. He found that the water used in this teahouse was very special, so he personally sealed the well that produced water as "the best tea well in the world". This tea well is in
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was sealed for a time, but was repurchased by a Baodao businessman ten years ago, and then invested in the Green Luochun."
Fang Zhicheng suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "It turns out there are also these stories in it. Luoluochun Teahouse must be very famous in Hanzhou, right?"
This Emperor Qianlong was also quite dashing. He can be found all over the country and there are legends about him. There is no way to verify whether the "No. 1 tea well in the world" owned by Luluochun Tea House is related to Emperor Qianlong.
But I have to say that the tea soup brewed from this tea well is first-class delicious, and coupled with the legend, it can really scare people.
Wan Heng waved his hand and said calmly: "In this era, teahouses are no longer popular. There are a few young people who like to make tea and taste tea. They only attract some people who are interested in tea ceremony and chess to relax here.
.”
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said: "The inheritance and development of traditional culture is indeed a headache."
Wan Heng smiled and said: "I originally thought that since you are young, you might be unfamiliar with tea ceremony and chess, but today I was quite surprised."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said modestly: "Chinese traditional culture is like the vast universe. I have only touched a drop in the bucket, but Minister Wan has studied a lot more intensively, which is admirable."
Wan Heng had a favorable impression of Fang Zhicheng. He originally thought that Fang Zhicheng could become the head of Xiaguang District so quickly, mostly because Song Wendi was the driving force behind it. He was originally very arrogant and rarely admired others sincerely, so Fang Zhicheng also
I didn't like him very much, and even invited Fang Zhicheng to meet at the Luoluochun Tea House, with the potential intention of humiliating Fang Zhicheng. However, I didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng was unusual. After sitting down, he just took a few sips of tea and guessed this Luoluo.
The difference of Chun's unique "No. 1 Tea Well in the World" changed Wan Heng's life.
A thousand cups of wine is too little when meeting a close friend, and half a sentence is enough to talk about non-congeniality. It is rare for Wan Heng to meet a person with the same ideals, so he is naturally very happy. Fang Zhicheng can see Wan Heng's change, and secretly sighs that he is lucky. If he hadn't been in the bank
When I was in the state, I once hung out with Taoist Master Chenyi for a while in Nanyuan Old Street, and I got to know the tea ceremony, otherwise I would have been passed over by Wan Heng.
After two cups of tea, Wan Heng pointed to the chessboard and asked, "Can you play Go?"
Fang Zhicheng said modestly: "Entry level."
Wan Heng laughed and said, "You will know after you try it."
Fang Zhicheng moved first with the black chess piece, and Wan Heng followed with the white chess piece. After a dozen chess pieces fell, Wan Heng said with emotion: "Zhicheng, if you are still an entry-level player, I am afraid that everyone in this chess hall will not be the same."
You know chess."
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Fang Zhicheng used to play chess with Li Dehan and Tong Mengyuan every day, and even became addicted to it. His chess skills have improved greatly, and he is no longer a beginner. Fang Zhicheng also has talent in this area. Li Dehan was once a half-national player, and Fang Zhicheng could play with him.
They were evenly matched, and even later they would often win one or two games. In fact, even Fang Zhicheng himself did not know that he was already a Go master. If Fang Zhicheng was not a serious national player, Fang Zhicheng would basically be able to maintain the game against him.
Undefeated.
Wan Heng's chess skills are not weak, but they are still far behind Li Dehan. As soon as Fang Zhicheng placed a dozen black stones, Wan Heng immediately felt the pressure and felt like he was being led around.
Watching the chess game was impressive, Wan Heng felt more and more that Fang Zhicheng was unfathomable. He knew about tea ceremony, so there might be some luck in this, but his chess skills could not be deceived. After more than a dozen moves, Wan Heng actually felt a cold feeling on his back.
Jinjin was suppressed by Fang Zhicheng and was unable to move.
Fang Zhicheng and Wan Heng had never played chess before, so he didn't know the depth of the opponent. He thought in his mind that Wan Heng was an arrogant person. If he lost the first game of chess, wouldn't it make him even more disdainful to accept him, so
His first few moves in the first game of chess were particularly fierce, with almost no stones falling on Wan Heng's key points.
There are many styles of Go. Fang Zhicheng's opening has the flavor of the three-pointer of the famous Korean player Lee Chang-ho, which is sharp and sharp.
After the middle game, each of them lost a few pieces. Wan Heng threw up his hands and admitted defeat, smiling bitterly and saying: "Zhicheng, I'm afraid you've been playing Go for a long time, haven't you?"
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said: "I studied for three years and followed a good master, so I was lucky enough to win Minister Wan."
Wan Heng waved his hand and said sincerely: "You are not lucky. From the beginning, I have been at a disadvantage. Every move has followed your footsteps. By the middle of the game, the trend has gone, and it will be ten more at most."
Come on, I will definitely lose. Since I know I will lose, I might as well lose with dignity."
Fang Zhicheng secretly sighed that Wan Heng's magnanimity was not small. Although he was arrogant, he was not unable to lose. Fang Zhicheng smiled and said: "Mr. Wan, you have a lot. In fact, my chess was played by a lot of chance. I won in the end.
, I also feel a little surprised."
Wan Heng laughed loudly and said: "Your personnel file says that you are an enterprising and passionate young cadre. Sometimes you encounter problems and dare to move forward. At first glance, everyone may think you are a reckless boy.
Now it seems that you know how to deal with people and things, know how to proceed and retreat, and you also know how to comfort a loser. Your personal resume is a bit deceptive."
When Fang Zhicheng saw Wan Heng say this, he knew that he had regarded him as a friend.
Fang Zhicheng cleverly said: "A personal resume is not for yourself or your friends, but for the organization, leaders, and opponents. Naturally, it will not be too detailed or specific. If you want to make progress as an official, you will naturally
I have to keep a sense of mystery. Besides, if I have been with friends for a long time, they will naturally know what kind of person I am, and my resume is just a blank piece of paper, which is of no use."
Wan Heng nodded, knowing what Fang Zhicheng was expressing euphemistically, and smiled: "This makes me feel very comfortable. From today on, you, Fang Zhicheng, are my friend, Lao Wan."
