With a creak, when Mr. Xu opened the door and saw Jin Long bringing the Wang Ding, the evil intention was revealed on his face.
"What, you're here again?"
"Mr. Xu, don't be angry yet, listen to me."
Jin Long winked at Wang Ding, and then pushed Xu Fengshui into the house. When he walked into the house from outside the door, Wang Ding quickly took out the Pu'er tea and motioned for Mr. Xu to make tea.
As Wang Ding walked to the kitchen, Jin Long said, "Mr. Xu, Wang Ding knows that you like to drink tea, so he went back specially to bring you some good tea. You know, it is not easy for young people to have such a heart.
Ah. So Mr. Xu, don’t ask too much of him. In fact, this young man Wang Ding is quite good.”
Jin Long said, Xu Fengshui's chagrin was not so overwhelming. Thinking about it, there was nothing about this young man Wang Ding that he couldn't stand, so why should he be so targeted at him.
"Xiaolong, what are you doing here this time?"
"Haha, Mr. Xu, if I have nothing to do, can't I just come over and see you? Can't I just come over when I have a treasure in my hand? When I come at ordinary times, you don't even welcome me, right?"
"Hmph, don't talk to me about these useless things. Did you bring this kid here to appreciate my calligraphy and painting? I'm telling you, as long as you stick your butt up, I will know what you are going to do next. Xu
It’s not that I don’t ask you to appreciate it, but at least you have to make me think that you can appreciate these calligraphy and paintings. Xiaolong, I think you are okay in this field, but that kid, I think even if I ask him to read it, he may not understand.
"
Xu Fengshui didn't care that Wang Ding was in front of him now, and kept sarcastic about Wang Ding, but Wang Ding didn't say anything and just quietly made tea aside.
First, he boiled the water over a live fire to the initial boil and put it into a long-mouthed pot. Then Wang Ding scalded and washed the purple clay pot cup on the tea seat. Then Wang Ding poured the raw Pu'er into the purple clay pot and poured it into the long-mouthed pot.
The boiling water in the teapot started to make tea. The tea leaves were stirred in the purple clay pot. At this time, Wang Ding used the pot lid to scrape away the rising white foam. After this action, Xu Fengshui's eyes unconsciously noticed
Wang Ding.
Before the boy stopped what he was doing, he put the lid on the pot the next second, and Wang Ding used the boiling water in the long-spout pot to rinse the outside of the purple clay pot. In this way, the temperature outside the purple clay pot cup slowly rose, splashing.
The water splashes fall along the surface of the pot and flow into the filtered water gap of the tea seat, which is quite spectacular for a moment.
You must know that the temperature of making tea is very important. Just like controlling the heat when cooking, you need to control the temperature when making tea. Rinse and heat the outer pot. Xu Fengshui immediately changed Wang Ding.
, this guy really has some cultural heritage.
"Young man, let me ask you two questions."
Xu Fengshui suddenly became interested in Wang Ding.
Wang Ding did not stop moving at this time. He picked up the tea cup and replied while scalding it, "You tell me."
"Let me ask you, tea in China is divided into basic tea and reprocessed tea. What are the categories of basic tea?"
Wang Ding smiled and said honestly and sincerely, "Black tea, green tea, black tea, yellow tea, oolong tea and white tea."
"Then the Chinese tea ceremony talks about the beauty of five realms. Can you tell me which five realms there are?"
Xu Fengshui's second question was indeed much more difficult. Regarding this question, Jin Long wanted to give Wang Ding a hint, but Jin Long didn't have this kind of ink in his head, so he had to look at Wang Ding helplessly for a while.
.
Wang Ding was deep in thought. Wang Ding liked the tea ceremony very much. Although he could not say that he knew it deeply, but by studying the tea ceremony, Wang Ding could cultivate his moral character and he had indeed studied it.
Wang Ding probably understands the so-called beauty of the five realms, which means that there are five elements that directly affect the enjoyment of tea. Of course, there are tea leaves themselves, tea water, heat and tea sets, but what is the fifth element? Wang Ding
There was a short circuit for a while.
"Mr. Xu, to be honest, I can't answer this question completely. I only know the four realms. One is the tea itself. Good tea can naturally produce good tea with a mellow taste. Then there is the tea. Mountain spring water is the best.
To be able to brew good tea, there is also the heat, that is, the temperature of the water. Apart from these three points, the rest should be some external factors, such as the tea set itself. A good tea set can make tea drinkers feel relaxed and happy, and make them feel relaxed and happy.
The color of the tea is more fragrant and pleasant.”
Wang Ding was thinking. After talking about the four realms, Wang Ding always felt that the fifth realm was very close to him, but just a little bit close, Wang Ding still couldn't figure out what it was.
Xu Fengshui had already clapped his hands and applauded. His previous disdain for Wang Ding was completely thrown away by Xu Fengshui. Nodding deeply, Xu Fengshui admired Wang Ding's humility and politeness even more.
Since this guy has already talked about the four realms and also explained the truth behind them, it shows that he knows it, but he only talks about the four realms when he knows the five realms. What kind of behavior is this? He wants to leave some room for expression for himself.
It is respect for elders.
Xu Fengshui did not hide the smile on his face and said happily, "Young man, what you just said about the four realms is absolutely right. In the tea ceremony, the beauty of the five realms is to pursue the highest enjoyment of the "taste" and "heart" of drinking tea. Of course.
In addition to tea leaves, tea water, tea sets, and temperature, the environment is also very important. Just like drinking tea in a busy city is definitely not the same as drinking tea in a quiet garden and pavilion."
"Yes." After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Wang Ding also nodded in sudden realization.
"Is the tea ready? Let me try the good tea you made."
The smile on Xu Fengshui's face was obviously much brighter. Compared with the harshness when he first arrived at his home, Wang Ding felt that the old man was much warmer now.
It seems that it is not that the elderly are difficult to get along with, the key lies in how you get along with them.
"It's ready, I'll pour it for you."
Wang Ding held the cup with his thumb and index finger, and held it up with his middle finger. He steadily and elegantly put the tea into Mr. Xu's cup. Then Wang Ding filled Jin Long's cup with tea in the same way.
Jin Long was once again impressed by Wang Ding. Unexpectedly, he was so secretive this time, and Jin Long was already summarizing Wang Ding's abilities.
He knows appreciation, understands medical skills, is well versed in tea ceremony, and is good at martial arts. What kind of talent is he? But he was really humbled by his talents in this small Guxiangzhai.
Jin Long and Xu Lao both drank the tea prepared by Wang Ding. The tea was slightly astringent in the mouth, but it tasted bitter on the tip of the tongue for less than half a second, and then a sizzling aroma of tea came over.
The aroma of the tea is light, not strong, and tastes just right. In this midsummer month of July, having this good tea is the best drink for relieving fatigue and cooling down the heat.
Xu Fengshui was convinced by Wang Ding's control over the amount of tea, the water temperature, and finally the flavor of the tea. He didn't expect Wang Ding to be so powerful at such a young age, and Mr. Xu was even more looking forward to whether this kid would really understand him.
Calligraphy and painting. Mr. Xu likes it
People are generous and stingy to people they don't like. At this time, he was thinking that if Wang Ding was as fascinated in art appreciation as he was in tea ceremony, then he could give him a calligraphy and painting he liked.
