Ye Yuan smiled and recalled Hua Lao's culture.
At the same time, he put the gift he brought for the old man on the table.
The gift he brought was also very simple. Apart from an old medicine, it was the old man's favorite space tea.
"You boy"
Mr. Hua glanced at the gift Ye Yuan brought.
Then, after laughing and cursing, he ordered the nanny to take down Ye Yuan's gift.
"Xiaoyuan! Let me introduce to you, this is my old friend for many years, Huang Shan!"
"Hello, Mr. Huang!"
Ye Yuan gave a junior salute to Mr. Huang, and then quietly reached Mr. Hua's starting position.
He was also curious. Didn't he say that the big shot was sick?
Why does the master still have time to entertain guests here?
Instead of taking yourself to the clinic?
But of course Ye Yuan would not show this emotion on his face.
Instead, he sat aside and listened quietly to the two old men chatting.
"You old guy has a good taste. The tea my apprentice brought is top-notch. I want you to try it today!"
Mr. Hua was very happy.
First, I haven’t seen my youngest apprentice for a long time. Of course I was very happy when I suddenly saw him today.
The second is that you can show your apprentice's filial piety in front of old friends.
To say how much Mr. Hua loves Ye Yuan is not entirely clear.
But after all, Ye Yuan is the youngest among his disciples.
And it's ridiculously small.
You know, Hua Lao's apprentices are all in their sixties.
Even his disciples and grandsons are all middle-aged.
What satisfied Mr. Hua the most was Ye Yuan's understanding.
No matter what he taught him, Ye Yuan would understand it immediately.
Moreover, Ye Yuan also has an extraordinary memory, which makes Hua Lao even more satisfied.
It can be said that Hua Lao has already made Ye
Yuan treats him as his own grandson, so he inevitably has to show off in front of outsiders.
"How about it? If you drink my apprentice's tea today, will you also show off your skills in front of the juniors?"
Mr. Hua said with a smile on his face.
Ye Yuan was curious and didn't know what kind of riddle Mr. Hua was playing.
But he didn't speak, and just looked at the two old men quietly.
"Okay! Let your apprentice see the real tea art today!"
Mr. Huang was in a good mood and readily agreed.
Mr. Hua called the nanny and gave a few instructions, and then the nanny went down to prepare.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Yuan had no idea what Mr. Huang's so-called craftsmanship was.
I just generally guessed that it should be related to tea art.
While several people were chatting happily.
The nanny walked in carefully pushing a wooden cart.
Huang Lao walked to the cart.
Put some tools in front of yourself.
Then he stopped talking and started working mysteriously.
Seeing this situation, Mr. Hua suddenly became interested.
As for the accompanying guest, Ye Yuan.
He also stared at Huang Lao's every move without blinking.
Although Mr. Huang is old, his hands are still very steady.
There was no sign of trembling like the other old men.
First, Ye Yuan saw Mr. Huang use a small stone mill to grind the tea leaves into powder after testing the heat.
Then sift the tea and add water.
Although Ye Yuan saw the whole process clearly, he didn't understand what it had to do with tea art.
But this was the first time he saw someone grinding tea leaves into powder before drinking tea.
I don't know if doing this will affect the taste.
"Xiao Yuan, you have to pay attention. Lao Huang is the only one who knows this skill at present. He is the heir of intangible cultural heritage. Don't underestimate it!"
Hua Laokan
Seeing the disinterested expression on Ye Yuan's face, one knew that Ye Yuan had underestimated his friend.
In order to prevent Ye Yuan from embarrassing himself in front of his old friends, he had to remind him.
After Mr. Hua said this, Ye Yuan focused his attention again.
After all, Mr. Hua would not say these things for no reason.
There must be some secret to this that I haven't understood yet.
After all, non-genetic inheritance is not something that ordinary people can have.
Huang Lao was also focused at this moment.
He picked up a bamboo stick and flicked the tea cup with his fingertips.
After a few dabs of tea cream, it seemed like an understatement.
Ye Yuan, who had been staring at the tea cup curiously, couldn't help being surprised. The wise man Cha Zhan exclaimed:
"How can it be?"
Don't blame Ye Yuan for his expression, he was really shocked by the scene in front of him.
Because he saw an incredible picture.
That is Huang Lao's view which is an understatement.
A picture scroll appeared on the tea surface.
I had only heard that coffee could have this effect before, but seeing it on tea today shocked Ye Yuan.
Knowing this, Mr. Huang put down the bamboo stick with a relaxed expression.
The finished tea cup was placed in front of Ye Yuan and asked him to taste it.
"Xiaoyuan, do you feel magical?"
Hua Lao looked at Ye Yuan who looked in disbelief and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Huang, how did you do this?"
Ye Yuan was still immersed in his own shock.
Looking at the landscape picture in front of me that was completely drawn out by the tea.
His heart was really shocked at this moment.
"Have you ever heard of Cha Baixi?"
Mr. Huang sat back in his seat and then asked the question without answering.
Ye Yuan shook his head blankly. This was indeed the first time he had heard of this unfamiliar name.
.
Mr. Huang glanced at Hua Mingyuan with a smile on his face:
“I’ve said it before, young people nowadays don’t like this!
So it’s very difficult to find a successor! "
"That's not necessarily the case!"
Mr. Hua shook his head mysteriously, then looked at Ye Yuan and said:
“The so-called Tea Baixi uses a tea spoon as a pen, water as ink, and tea soup as paper. This is the essence of Tea Baixi.
If you want to elaborate, then Chabaixi is actually a technique that uses ground tea as raw material and uses water to make the tea soup change into patterns.
Tea Baixi originated in the Tang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, becoming a cultural activity highly respected among literati. "
Mr. Hua briefly introduced the origin of Tea Baixi to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Why!"
Just when Ye Yuan was listening carefully, Mr. Huang next to him sighed.
Ye Yuan wondered why Mr. Huang sighed?
Is there something else that I don't know about?
There was no need for Ye Yuan to ask, Mr. Huang just said to himself:
"What kind of scenery was the tea show in the past?
During the Song Dynasty, even the emperor was obsessed with tea ceremony.
In the Song Dynasty, every year after the Qingming Festival and when new tea came out, tea fighting was at its peak.
Tea fights can be seen almost everywhere in restaurants and teahouses.
There were as few as five or six people, and as many as ten people.
There were also many shop owners, and the neighbors would rush to watch, but it was so lively. "
Speaking of this, Mr. Huang seemed to be longing for something, his face full of sadness.
Ye Yuan knew that he couldn't interrupt at this time. He could only wait quietly for Huang Lao's next words.
Indeed, as Ye Yuan thought, after Huang Lao took a sip of tea, he continued to say with nostalgia:
"The tea fight"
The prosperity of the wind fascinated not only the people of the Song Dynasty at that time, but also the Japanese people who traveled across the ocean couldn't help but be tempted by it.
At that time, there was Zen Master Nanpu Zhaoming in the Japanese country. He originally went to Jingshan Temple to seek Dharma and learn about Buddhism.
But after he returned to China, no one heard about how he promoted Buddhism.
However, the tea banquet ceremony of the Song Dynasty was regarded as a treasure and publicized to everyone.
With this, another Song Dynasty traveled eastward and started the trend of "discussing Taoism through tea" in the Japanese country, which continues to this day.
But looking back at our country, even a small tea play has been lost, I. . . "
