"This rainbow is so beautiful! But what's strange is that there's no rain! Why is there a rainbow!" One person muttered softly. Although it seemed unintentional, it instantly made everyone seem to be stunned. Come to your senses!

"Have you seen this kind of vision after so many years?" Lao Wu seemed to be a little cautious when speaking, looking at the river, he seemed to be muttering to himself.

"Lingnan has no strange phenomena since ancient times!" This is a man wearing a clean, gray cloth that has turned white. I don't know what he was thinking, but he asked softly with some uncertainty.

Because it is close to the riverside where it enters the sea, there are many people coming and going. For a person like this who doesn't attract anyone's attention, many people won't care much about his existence! What's more, people may not have been here before, and even if they pass by, they may not drink tea, so it looks a bit strange.

Although I have been here for many years, I have met many people, so it is normal for me to have people I have not met! However, in response to this man's words, he rarely turned his head slightly and glanced, but did not say anything else.

This man was not tall, and his skin was somewhat fair, not even like the people from Lingnan. Because he was wearing a neat robe and a high crown that people from the Central Plains loved. His black and white hair was pinned with a shiny black bamboo hairpin. Although he looks a little lazy, you can see that when he looks at people, his eyes look gentle and lively!

Hearing what Lao Wu said, the man shook his head slightly. He didn't know whether he was wrong in listening to Lao Wu's words, or whether he felt that his words were reasonable. He spoke in official Mandarin so smoothly that no one could tell where he came from!

Moreover, the tea he had originally picked up was gently put down at this time. He pointed at the tea in the cup and said to Lao Wu with a smile: "This tea has a rich and sweet taste, but it has lost the taste of boiled tea. I don't know why. Is it your habit of making tea?"

"Oh! Make tea?" Lao Wu glanced at this person with slight surprise. Of course, the other person's formal Mandarin language instantly showed that the other person was not a local!

People who come to Lao Wu's place to drink tea now don't need to remind me deliberately. Because since the new emperor ascended the throne in Lingnan, a habit of brewing tea has become popular! Moreover, the royal family has trained many masters of tea ceremony, and today’s Xingwang Mansion regards tea tasting as noble and elegant! Therefore, this person has inherited the habits of southerners in tea-producing areas and drinking camellia oleifera and Leicha. It is not an exaggeration to say such a thing!

What Lao Wu used to sell was Leicha. He added ginger and garlic to fresh tea leaves, slowly fried them in an iron urn and crushed them, then added some chopped wild onions. Finally, he cooked them with mountain spring water and added a drop or two. Camellia oil is an excellent pot of camellia or leicha! Later, the tea ceremony spread in the palace became popular, and Lao Wu naturally learned it. Although some people are not used to it at first, after arriving, they feel that making tea is really refreshing!

Hearing what this outsider said, Lao Wu didn't hesitate much, but he asked politely: "Nowadays, this tea is popular in Prince Xing's Mansion. If you taste it calmly, you will naturally slowly understand the beauty of it!"

"The sweet fragrance is refreshing and lingers in the mouth. With the wonder of the Pearl River between heaven and earth, it is naturally endlessly memorable!" Lao Wu didn't mean to hide it. He saw several people in the tea room looking at him. , couldn’t help but say it softly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, everyone seemed to have some interest, especially the thin man with his entourage, who looked extremely curious. I couldn't help but look at the rainbow in the distance, and said softly with some understanding. .

"I won't go into too much detail when it comes to how to make tea in the South. It's nothing more than picking the young leaves during the two peak picking periods each year, roasting, frying, and finally preserving them properly! But the beauty of making tea is , but the previous tea sage made it clear. Every time you drink tea, you must use the best mountain springs, boil it over charcoal fire in an iron pot, and finally brew this simple fried tea, wash it twice The tea boiled three times can be called the best tea!"

Seeing that everyone did not interrupt, but looked at me, Lao Wu looked a little indifferent! It seems that after having this tea, I fished and tasted tea by the river every day, and the feeling of having lost all my wishes came to my face.

"May I ask, sir, what do you mean by making tea one wash, two hot, and three times?" The thin man with his entourage actually bowed his hands to the old man and asked for advice: "I hope you will give me some advice!"

"I think that drinking tea is like life! Everyone is aware of the cold, warm and sweet taste! A certain person often has the habit of fishing and drinking tea. He suddenly developed the habit of drinking tea. Don't worry about it!" Lao Wu looked at the rainbow with his eyes, but had no intention of answering.

His aloofness and behavior naturally aroused dissatisfaction on the face of the man with his entourage and the entourage beside him. Then, with a look from this thin man, he blocked him directly.

However, Lao Wu seemed as if he hadn't seen it. Then he glanced at everyone, and slowly moved his eyes towards the place where the vision occurred. Suddenly he smiled slightly and said: "The Yuxiu Zhongling of Prince Xing's Mansion is indeed extraordinary!"

"Sir, you seem to have a special liking for Prince Xing's Mansion?" The thin man was surprised: "The river is long, and you have special taste!"

"The place is naturally very good, but a lot of spiritual energy has been destroyed by people, which is a little regrettable!" I seemed to be talking to myself, but everyone in the tea room could hear it!

Someone moved his mouth twice, but when he didn't say anything, Lao Wu slowly said: "Few people can inherit the momentum left by a generation of great masters! If it weren't for the numerous talents in the world, only the original If this master knows about it, he will blame future generations for their ignorance!"

Hearing him standing by the river criticizing Prince Xing's Mansion, not to mention there were other people in the tea room, everyone looked at him in shock. But everyone was speechless, because now this old man looks like just an ordinary person, and everyone knows it. But what I said at this time was somewhat mysterious!

"Sir, it seems that you know a lot about Prince Xing's Mansion. Lingnan has always been called a barbaric land in the Central Plains. I wonder who the master is?" There was another man in the teahouse with a black beard and a high crown, with a ruddy face that showed his age. But the neat and tall image still gives people an excellent impression! He spoke slowly, his words gentle and indifferent.

But Lao Wu didn't seem to look at him. Instead, he seemed to know that he was speaking. He pointed to where the colorful rainbow came from and said with a smile: "The auspicious light is endless and the Sanskrit sound is endless. This is someone who has enlightened!"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at Lao Wu's quiet expression, they didn't know how to answer for a while. Or Lao Wu suddenly muttered to himself and said: "It is said that several masters came to Prince Xing's Mansion. I wonder if any of them achieved enlightenment in Prince Xing's Mansion?"
