Li Yuanxing said it was gorgeous, and if the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty could say it was gorgeous, it was definitely not vulgar.
King Qin of the Tang Dynasty not only represents the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, but also has the identity of a star king. This magnificence naturally makes people look forward to it.
Just taking out this tea set is an eye-opener for the tea merchants. Many people are still stuck in the drinking method of breaking the brick tea and throwing it into a clay pot, adding salt and boiling it for a long time.
For them, tea is just a tool for making money.
It is just like food, especially for those people on the grassland, this is food, food that is as important as salt.
What King Qin of the Tang Dynasty showed was a different kind of tea, a completely refreshing tea.
"Father, please move your seat!" Li Yuanxing respectfully asked Li Yuan to sit at the table.
Li Yuan nodded: "The way of tea is the way!" Li Yuan also became much more serious, stood up and sat opposite Wu Zhao, because Li Yuanxing said that this is the seat of honor.
Li Yuanxing invited Cui Sheli to take a seat again. Cui Sheli paid more attention to the process of taking the seat than Li Yuan. After standing up, he straightened his crown, straightened his clothes, and took small square steps. The first step was the same size.
When he arrived at the table, he first saluted Wu Zhao, then both saluted Li Yuan, and then sat down on the left side of Li Yuan.
Wu Zhao looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, his mouth and his heart, and he sat upright. Just for this sitting posture and posture, Cui Sheli gave him twelve points. It must be someone who has received great etiquette to sit in this way.
The charm of talent!
The third person Li Yuanxing pointed out was the leader of the Vietnam Tea Chamber of Commerce.
The leader of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce was shaking with excitement and rushed to Li Yuan to kneel down. Just as he was about to sit at the table, Cui Sheli said: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, talks about Taoism with tea. As the leader of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce, you.
If your heart is restless and dry, and there is no tea in your heart, you should step aside and recite the Taoist meditation mantra silently, otherwise you cannot serve it!"
Only then did the leader of the Vietnam Tea Chamber of Commerce realize that he had been rude, and immediately stepped aside with a bow.
The next three people Li Yuanxing named were the Chang'an Tea Chamber of Commerce, the Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Tea Chamber of Commerce. These three leaders had learned from the past mistakes of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce, and naturally they would not lose their etiquette. Look at the Han Dynasty worn by Wu Zhao.
The three of them were also learned men. They bowed to Li Yuan and Wu Zhao with Han rites, and then dressed and took their seats.
Cui Sheli nodded with satisfaction, it can be taught!
The leader of the Vietnam Tea Chamber of Commerce was a little clumsy as he imitated the other three leaders and took his seat. Cui Sheli commented: "I don't know etiquette. Ask, what are you asking about? You should cultivate your mind and learn etiquette when you go back."
"
"Thank you, Chang Shi, for your teachings!"
Wu Zhao opened his eyes at this time!
The first step: treating the utensils! It is divided into six actions: starting a fire, taking out the fire, fanning the stove, cleaning the utensils, waiting for water, and pouring the cup.
Cui Sheli's heart was intoxicated, and he couldn't help but reach a new level. His heart also slowly calmed down with the movements of Wu Zhao's hands. This is the real great etiquette. This is the real Tao.
What Li Yuan was thinking about was that your Seventh Generation family said that our Li family were barbarians. Take a look, what is this? This is more ancient and polite than your Seventh Generation family.
The four tea merchant representatives watched without saying a word. They were learning, observing, and experiencing.
One that can be praised by famous scholars is naturally excellent.
In the back hall, Zheng Xiuyan sighed: "I really want to learn it. If I learn this, I will definitely make His Highness happy!" The other six women did not speak, each with their own thoughts. But Cui Yingying was thinking that if she learned this, more than just making His Highness the King of Qin happy.
, placed in a poetry gathering, it is guaranteed to shock the entire audience.
Wu Zhao spent more than ten minutes on the first step.
And the second step: receive the tea! Place the tea on a white paper for tea drinkers to appreciate.
Naturally, none of the people present had seen this tea before, but no one spoke. They didn't understand and would only observe silently.
Next, Wu Zhao kept talking about the process of waiting for the soup, washing the tea, and brewing the tea. These were naturally very particular, and Wu Zhao explained the process in poetry.
Du Yiye was at the side, writing quickly with a pen, for fear of missing a word.
Just when everyone thought it was time to drink tea, they never thought that this was just the beginning.
Further down, the sixth, seventh, and eighth steps, scraping foam, pouring water on the pot, scalding the cup, Wu Zhao said something again, Cui Shuli couldn't help but nod, this is etiquette, that's right, this is Chinese etiquette.
.As His Highness King Qin said, this is the Tao. The Tao of tea!
"Smell the fragrance! Wu Zhao personally handed the Gaiou to Li Yuan. Li Yuan took it, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but praise: "It smells good, and the tea is good!"
Cui Shuli heard about it and composed a poem on the spot, but Li Yuanxing didn't understand a word of it.
After the ninth step of pouring the tea, it’s finally time to taste the tea.
"Han Xin orders troops!" Wu Zhao poured six cups of tea and made an invitation gesture.
Li Yuan drank it and remained silent. Cui Sheli drank it and remained silent as well. The four tea merchants drank it and remained silent as well. The six of them sat there silently without saying a word.
Take back the empty tea cup and make a second brew.
Tea is brewed seven times. Wu Zhao demonstrated various ways of pouring tea. Guan Gong patrolled the city, Zhaojun left the fortress, and heaven and man were united!
After seven soaks, Wu Zhao washed the pot and started to put away the utensils, his movements still so slow and elegant.
But the six tea drinkers were exactly the same, sitting there motionless and silent.
The people watching from the outside were really anxious about what the tea tasted like and how it felt when drinking it. Because these people couldn't get close, they were really anxious.
The seven girls in the back hall became quiet instead, because they were the future Princess Qin, and they could drink tea like this often in the future.
After Wu Zhao packed up, he bowed, stepped back and sat upright!
Li Yuanxing said softly at this time: "Tea has seven meanings, one heart. The seven meanings are: tea art, tea virtue, tea etiquette, tea theory, tea love, tea theory, and tea guidance; and since one heart is understood by 'harmony', then
It can be called a tea ceremony. That’s it for today, the king will be waiting here tomorrow!”
After saying that, Li Yuanxing picked up Wu Zhao and said, "You must be tired!"
Wu Zhao nodded slightly, his head already covered with beads of sweat.
Li Yuan stretched out his hand to support the table and stood up: "Let's go back to the palace. I'll come back tomorrow!" After saying that, Li Yuan and Li Yuanxing turned around and left without even saying hello. Li Yuanxing couldn't guess what he was thinking. It's just that
It can be felt that Li Yuan was definitely shocked.
Cui Shuli also stood up and saluted Li Yuanxing: "I am sure that Your Highness can send out an invitation tomorrow. Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites should invite you, and Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of Husband should invite you. Well-educated people in the court and outside should come to see the way of tea.
"
"You go ahead and make the arrangements. You decide on the list. Don't touch anything here, and don't touch the tea on my table."
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he carried Wu Zhao and walked to the back hall. Seeing the seven girls, Li Yuanxing smiled and said: "Go to the king's small living room." After that, he said to the seven stewards: "Tea is the way. This is the way.
It’s also a business opportunity. The seven of you think about it and explain it to your masters when you go back. How much they understand will count!”
"Yes, Your Highness!" All seven stewards bowed deeply.
Li Yuanxing took the seven future Princess Qin to the small living room, where naturally a luncheon was prepared.
In the hall, the leader of the Yue Tea Chamber of Commerce stood up first, took a few steps back, knelt down towards where Wu Zhao was sitting, and kowtowed heavily, his head making a thud on the floor.
"X, I just found out today that X has insulted tea!"
The leader of the Chang'an Tea Merchants Association stood up and helped him up: "Brother, what you said is absolutely true. Everyone present has insulted tea. I have a profound knowledge of China, and today we have finally seen what tea is. This is His Highness preaching,
To say it is a bit philistine, it is also a business opportunity given to us by His Highness."
After saying that, the leader of the Chang'an Tea Merchant Association picked up the tea just shown to them, put a piece of dry tea leaf into his mouth, tasted it and said with a smile: "Get ready when you go back. Tomorrow will be the real excitement."
, This is too abrupt now, I should go back to bathe and fast, and come again tomorrow to learn the way of tea!"
All the tea merchants said yes.
At this time, a businessman from a shop took advantage of everyone walking out and reached out to the small plate of Longjing tea on display to secretly place a few tea leaves in the palm of his hand.
A businessman next to him saw it and whispered: "Do you want to change your career?"
The businessman was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and quickly put the tea leaves back.
Du Yiye quickly wrote down the name of the businessman on the paper. Just now, a guard had already looked at him and asked. Du Yiye didn't think it was necessary to capture it for such a trivial matter, even though His Highness said that no one was allowed to touch it.
His tea.
It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits.
Although there was no punishment, Du Yiye still took note of the businessman so that he could report it to Li Yuanxing at the appropriate time.
On the other side, Li Yuanxing invited the seven girls to have lunch together.
"Your Highness, can you teach us the art of tea?"
"Okay, now I will teach you one of my favorite methods." Li Yuanxing stood up, went to the shelf to get a large glass, and then pulled out a tube of tea: "This is Longjing's tongue grade.
The king likes it."
Li Yuanxing reached out and grabbed a handful of tea leaves and poured it into the cup, not at all as elegant as Wu Zhao.
Then, he picked up a thermos bottle from the ground and filled the water cup in one go. A big cup, a lot of tea leaves, and then poured a lot of water. Li Yuanxing smiled and put the cup on the table: "It will cool down in a while, and take a big sip."
Drink. This is my king’s way of chewing peonies and drinking them!”
The seven girls were stunned at first, then they all laughed.
They just thought His Highness the King of Qin was making fun of him, but they didn't know that Li Yuanxing really drank like this.
In the words of the cupboard master, it would be good enough for Li Yuanxing to drink only one tael for ten yuan. Any more expensive tea would be a waste for Li Yuanxing.
Wu Zhao understood everything, but he just didn't say anything. He signaled Yuanchun to divide the big cup into small cups, poured them into the girls, and then winked at Li Yuanxing. Li Yuanxing could only say: "Tea ceremony will soon become one of the arts learned by the nobles.
If you don't understand the tea ceremony, you will be inferior to others when you go out. But what I want to do is business." (To be continued...)
