Shenhao UP Lord

Chapter 214

It was already late at night when I left the tea house, and today I returned with a full load. Ding Xu was very satisfied with at least three video clips.

"Are you interested in the tea ceremony?" Xiaoya tentatively asked on the way back: "One session and one session are very famous."

Ding Xu nodded, idle is idle, although he is not reconciled, but many cultures that originated in China have been carried forward by other little devils instead?
Especially the tea ceremony!
The next day, I came to Huajian again. There is a famous tea ceremony exhibition hall here. Before the start, Ding Xu's ancestral biography opened: "Brothers, let's be more elegant today?"

"The tea ceremony in the island country is very famous. It pays attention to one session and one session. To put it bluntly, it still has a sense of ritual. Through a complicated process, the heart gradually calms down."

"Today Brother Xu will take you to discover what is the real Japanese tea ceremony!"

Entering the Tea Ceremony Department, a female tea master dressed in simple kimono and elegant manners greeted him politely. I heard that it was from the Chinese media who wanted to interview the Tea Ceremony, and they received her very warmly.

After a simple communication, he led everyone to the tea room. Xiaoya whispered beside him: "Before entering the tea room during the formal tea ceremony process, you must pass through a short section of natural landscape, such as a garden or a bamboo forest path."

"This is to make tea drinkers calm down before entering the tea room, get rid of all mundane distractions, and fully integrate their body and mind into nature."

Ding Xu nodded. He was indeed very pretentious. He didn't have a few acres of land at home, so he didn't even have the qualifications to drink tea?
Two cameras followed the tea artisan closely. She was holding water with a long-handled ladle in a water jar outside the teahouse door, washing her hands slowly, and then slowly pouring the water into her mouth to rinse her mouth. The dust is washed away.

Then he took out a clean handkerchief, put it in the front of his chest, took a small folding fan, and put it on the belt behind him, and then entered the tea room after calming down a little.

"did you see it?"

"Do you have the feeling of the ancients burning incense, bathing and changing clothes?"

"Sense of ritual is actually quite useful, and at least it will give you a little more awe, right?"

"Some things really can't be done carelessly!"

Ding Xu took the opportunity to play tricks on the camera, and he probably won't be able to say a word when the tea ceremony starts later.

"It's so small!" Xiaoying looked at the tea room, which was full of dozens of square meters, no more than ten square meters. The two cameras, the boss and Xiaoya, the interpreter, couldn't fit in other people?
Ding Xu shook his head secretly. There was no other way. The size of a tea room is usually four and a half stacks of tatami mats. What is needed is a small, elegant and compact structure, so that the guests and hosts can have a heart-to-heart conversation.

What's more, there are a lot of miscellaneous tools in front of me, such as special areas such as bed room, guest room, front of the room, and stove steps.There are alcoves, floor stoves and various wooden windows around, and the water distribution house on the right is equipped with utensils and cleaning utensils for boiling water, making tea and tea tasting.

It's not bad for four people to sit down!
Fat Tiger Lao Zhang fixed the seat and could only stand outside the door. The tea ceremony master knelt at the movable lattice door to welcome the guests.

Can only take the five beauties to appear on the scene, tasting tea?
How many nerds come here to see their long legs!

Looking around, there is an ancient painting hanging in the center, and below it is a Longquan celadon vase with a plum blossom in it, elegant and clean.

I heard that the ancient paintings and antiques used to decorate the upper class must be real antiques?

The tea ceremony master stood up, went to the water house to get the stove, tea kettle, water injection, white charcoal and other utensils, knelt on the tatami to make a fire to boil water, took out a little incense from the incense box and lit it.

Everyone sat upright, and there was indeed a sense of solemnity when they were in the scene. The tea master stretched out his slender hands and began to prepare the tea banquet.Clean the tea bowls and whisks with warm water and place them in corresponding positions.

Carefully pour the extremely fine matcha into a white tea cup, stir it gently with a tea whisk, and mix the matcha and water, which is called a paste.

Continue to add water, order the tea soup, hold the tea bowl with both hands when the tea froth, drink or serve the matcha to the guests.

Ding Xu took the tea and looked at the complicated process. Both the tea ceremony and the incense ceremony should pursue a sense of ritual, as if only rigorous and rigid can highlight the noble atmosphere.

When I smell matcha, I used to think it was just ordinary green tea powder, or tea powder.It was only discovered today that it is actually a fine and tender raw material of tea leaves. It is an ultra-fine powder made through multiple processes such as steaming, cooling, dehydration, compound drying, and combined crushing?
According to Xiaoya's instructions, hold the bowl in the palm of the left hand and hold the edge of the bowl with the five fingers of the right hand. Kneel down and lift up the tea bowl, take a sip, frowning, it's very bitter, far less delicious than Longjing.

And then the tea ceremony master let it go on?

"Brothers, have you seen the tools in front of Brother Xu?"

"Cladding board, stove, wind stove, cauldron, cover, water finger, handle ladle, water time, Jianshui, jujube, tea input, official cover, tea ladle, tea whisk, tea bowl, tea towel, silk gauze, refreshment, fruit chopsticks, shed, ladle Standing, decorating fire chopsticks, cauldrons, cutting stalks, felts, standing ceremony tables, and standing umbrellas."

"Hey, it won't take two or three years just to remember these things!"

Taking advantage of the tea master going out to add water, Ding Xu hurriedly said to the camera: "Islanders like to pretend to be in the tea room the most. During the time when the stove is boiling water, the master has to go to the water house to be busy. At this time, the guests are free to hang out in the garden in front of the tea room." walk in."

"Or see what kind of antiques people use from the dynasty."

"Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Qing Dynasty was the least valuable. The Eight-Power Allied Forces don't know how many ancient goods flowed into the island country. Porcelain is not an official kiln, calligraphy and painting is not a famous name, and you don't even have the qualifications for ordinary auctions?"

"The Ming Dynasty was just a beginner player. Islanders don't like fancy things. The most valuable things are solid colors, such as Longquan celadon or Dingyao white porcelain."

"Even if you are chatting, you can't talk casually. In the authentic tea ceremony, it is absolutely forbidden to discuss secular topics such as money and politics, let alone discuss business. Most of them are topics related to nature."

"What a beautiful day it is!"

"The flowers in your garden are so beautiful!"

“Where did you buy the bamboo?”

"You have to pretend to be pure-hearted and ascetic. Everyone is a high-spirited hermit who sees through the world."

After tossing and tossing for more than an hour, Sakura was the first to say: "My legs are numb!"

"Do you want to be so tired after drinking tea!"

"Hey, I really don't understand the daily life of superior people."

"Do you think it's good to drink?"

“Delicious”

"Fuck!"

"Bitter and astringent!"

"That's right, I won't drink for free!"

Ding Xu was also drunk listening to all kinds of complaints from the four big vases. Do you have any wisdom?
They just want you to experience the truth that life is suffering, okay?
Forget it, in all fairness, I can't stand this kind of rule, watching dozens of props being manipulated like a tiger, and only drinking a cup of tea in the end?

Want to take turns tasting?

Isn't it nauseous?
Leaving the tea ceremony tube, he was finally relieved, and said to the camera: "What do you guys think?"

"If you like it, please deduct one."

"If you find it troublesome, please deduct two"

"Anyway, brother Xu feels a bit too formal. Drinking tea itself is indeed a good way to cultivate one's morality, but everything is too much to pay attention to, right?"

"However, this kind of thing can only be played by wealthy local tyrants. Those with few acres of land and no garden at home are not even eligible for the first step."

"As for the Ming and Qing antique vases and paintings for decoration?"

"Hey hey hey!"
