After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, the old man burst out laughing.
He looked at Jiang Xiaobai for a long time and said, "Young man, isn't it bad that you are so self-reliant?"
"You also said, young!"
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged: "While you are young, if you don't rely on yourself, you will get old!"
The old man was startled again when he heard this, and then he laughed again and said, "Well said, but the word self-reliance seems to have more of a derogatory meaning, right?"
"hehe!"
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled lightly, looked at the tea leaves on the table and said: "This is just like tasting tea, taste it lightly and carefully, no matter the bitterness or the mellow aroma behind it, it is the taste of the tea!"
"Humility or self-reliance are qualities that people cannot let go of. If this is the case, why should we abandon or hide it?"
"Wouldn't it be more delicious if you taste all the smells?"
The old man was surprised for a moment, and finally closed his eyes to think. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "You're right, little brother. It seems that I came here right now!"
After speaking, he pointed to the tea ceremony on the table: "How much do you know about this rock tea?"
"Not much, just one or two!" Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Oh? Tell me!" the old man said.
“The best rock tea needs to be kept in ice after being picked!”
While Jiang Xiaobai was talking, he put his right hand on the tea can, touched the coldness, and said with a smile: "Iced tea cannot be brewed directly with boiling water. The tea must be brewed with warm water first, and then poured with hot water, so that the tea will be fragrant.
Thicker!”
"Haha, do you call this one or two? You are obviously..." The old man said this and coughed twice.
"Are you showing off?"
Jiang Xiaobai also smiled at this moment and said: "I always feel that I am being modest!"
The old man was startled, then laughed heartily again, and said with admiration on his face: "Well, I am sitting in the guest seat today!"
"Forehead……"
Jiang Xiaobai said helplessly: "Does the hotel still share this?"
"It can be divided!" the old man said again.
"Okay then, I will be the host today!"
After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he opened the tea can, set the temperature of the kettle next to him, and said while he was making hot water: "Old man, did you come to my place just to have a chat?"
"Well, just chatting!"
The old man nodded slightly: "My partner's handwriting is also very beautiful, especially if he is young, so I really want to get to know him!"
"My name is Jiang Xiaobai!"
Jiang Xiaobai said in a loud voice: "From Jiangling!"
"Jianling, Linjiang..."
The old man's eyes were strange and he said: "It's a great place with outstanding people and beautiful mountains and clear waters!"
After speaking, the old man's voice paused and said: "My name is Han Zifu!"
"Zi Fu is conceited and self-defeating..."
Jiang Xiaobai raised his head, looked at the old man and said, "Old man, your name seems to be quite... learned!"
The old man smiled and shook his head and said: "Father, please tell me not to be too conceited in the future, lest I fetter myself!"
Jiang Xiaobai responded, his eyes fluctuating and said: "The water is ready!"
After saying that, he took the tea, put the frozen tea leaves in a larger tea cup, and poured in the warm water.
When watering, go with the flow.
When the water was full, Jiang Xiaobai paused for a moment and began to filter the water. After leaving only the tea, he put it into the teapot and continued to boil water.
During this period, the techniques were very skillful.
"I have always tasted tea and drank tea, but I rarely practice tea as a host!"
As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, he shook his head, a little helpless. After seeing that the temperature reached the standard, he said: "This rock tea, the first cup, is not suitable for a temperature that is too high, sixty degrees is enough!"
After he finished speaking, he took off the kettle and started making tea.
After brewing, he continued to pour water. While the hot water was pouring, he put down two tea cups with his other hand, but he just poured a cup for the old man and said, "Please, old man!"
Han Zifu picked up the tea cup, blew it briefly, and sipped the tea.
When he put down the tea cup, Han Zifu raised his head and said: "Just right!"
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, poured the tea in the teapot into the jar prepared on the side, and picked up the heated water: "The second cup, the temperature is over seventy degrees!"
After making tea, he poured the old man another cup.
The old man picked up the teacup and tasted it. When the teacup was empty, he put it down and said, "It's still just right!"
When Jiang Xiaobai nodded, the tea was poured again and he started the tea ceremony for the third time: "The tea should not be a hundred, just ninety!"
This time he poured two cups. While picking up his tea cup, he looked at Han Zifu and said, "Old man, please have some tea!"
After saying that, I started to taste it myself.
When the two of them put down their teacups at the same time, Han Zifu smiled and said, "Good tea!"
The look in his eyes was filled with admiration.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled, picked up the teapot, and continued to pour it.
When Han Zifu picked up the tea cup, he looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Brother, you look young, but your knowledge is not low, especially the calligraphy in the hall, which is exquisite and beautiful. I wonder if you are interested in participating in a literary and art association?"
You must know that the matchmaking in the hall is just a hotel activity in itself.
But when he saw the photos taken by the waiter, he was a little surprised, especially when the waiter mentioned that he was still a young man.
So he made a special trip here.
The couplets are exquisite and neat, and the writing is elegant and beautiful.
So young and so talented.
Really rare!
Especially after tasting tea this time, he felt even more that Jiang Xiaobai was a talent.
"The Federation of Literary and Art Circles?" Jiang Xiaobai was a little curious.
"Um!"
Han Zifu nodded lightly and said: "Those who perform well can enter Lu Academy to communicate and study with everyone in Wenmo!"
"Really?"
Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and said, "Old man, are you here just to talk to me about this?"
"No, I just asked by chance!"
Han Zifu said with a smile: "My little brother is good at writing. Since you have come to Jiangzhong, you should know something about Luyuan, right? It is a paradise for literati!"
"Of course, only those with sufficient abilities can enter and study!"
"The old man is from Luyuan?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously.
After hearing this, Han Zifu burst out laughing and said, "You can be regarded as the teacher inside!"
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "The Federation of Literary and Art Circles sounds interesting, I might consider it!"
After hearing this, Han Zifu searched around on his body and finally handed Jiang Xiaobai an exquisite box.
Jiang Xiaobai opened it and took a look and found a very delicate brush inside.
“A pass to join the Federation of Literary and Art Circles!”
Han Zifu said with a smile on his face: "But it will take three days for the Federation of Literary and Art Circles to open. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. Of course, if you are not interested, just pretend I didn't tell you!"
After finishing his words, Han Zifu drank all the tea in the cup and said, "Thank you for the hospitality. The tea is very good. I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, Han Zifu stood up, looked at Jiang Xiaobai who also stood up and said, "No need to give more!"
After saying that, he left directly.
After Jiang Xiaobai watched Han Zifu leave, he sat there, drinking tea, looking at the brushes in the box, thoughtfully.
His original intention was to enter Nalu Courtyard and let Cheng Yun take him in.
