Tea fragrance overflowing [reverse wear]

"Because it's too perfect."

As soon as Li Yunshu's words fell to the ground, everyone present was stunned.Luo Wen was completely stunned on the spot, and the first person who came to his senses was the middle-aged man he mentioned earlier who was in charge of checking the quality of tea in Yuxiao Pavilion.

"Too...perfect? ​​What does this mean?" The slightly fat middle-aged man pondered for a long time in confusion before he said, "Is it because our products are so good that Master Huang is dissatisfied? Isn't that true?" Maybe."

Luo Wen also followed suit and said: "Although we are just a tasting conference of an amateur tea ceremony association, Xiaoyun, there are still quite a few masters in it. What you say... is a bit strange? Of course this thing is more perfect The better, why would you think something is too good?"

Hearing this, Li Yunshu shook his head: "Some things are not said that way."

As he spoke, Li Yunshu stretched out his left hand to pick up the sacrificial red porcelain pot on the table, gently opened the lid and put it on the table, and then took out some long, thin, and long leaf buds with a tea tong and dropped them gently A few are on the porcelain cover, only about five or six.

Everyone around felt strange, even Luo Wen, who was barely familiar with Li Yunshu among them, didn't quite understand his current actions, and then, Li Yunshu directly pointed at the leaf buds decorated with silver borders with a tea clip , Said: "These tribute tips are the best in terms of appearance and fragrance. They should be picked within three days before and after Qingming this year. The sky must be clear and sunny that day."

While talking, Li Yunshu pushed away a few leaf buds with tea tongs, let the needle-like tea leaves spread flat, and continued: "The pickers are also the best experts. There is no moth on the surface of this tea, Firm and straight, full of color, fat stems and leaves, planted well and picked better."

Hearing Li Yunshu's words, Luo Wen was even more confused: "This... I don't understand this even more, Xiaoyun, what's wrong with doing so well?"

But Li Yunshu sighed and shook his head, Junxiu frowned slightly, with a regretful expression on his face: "Up to now, these Junshan silver needles can be regarded as excellent tea, the right time, place and people And, nothing is missing, I am afraid that it will be rare to see in ten years. But... everything can only end here."

The sudden turning point made everyone present stunned for a moment, and quickly raised their ears to listen carefully.

Li Yunshu let out a long sigh, put the tea clip on the shelf beside him, and said in a helpless tone: "I used to drink a lot of tea in a tea shop next to my tailor shop, that shop is not big, and it's not a big deal. It is a high-end place, so there is no particularly expensive and top-notch tea. However, I did drink some good tea there." After a pause, Li Yunshu continued: "In fact, I have already discovered in that store There is a problem, because the production of tea has become more and more mass-produced and large-scale, so basically ordinary tea is processed by machines for most of the post-processing. "

The middle-aged man nodded vigorously, and agreed: "Yes, in fact, many of the tea leaves in our Yuxiao Pavilion are also made by machines. Machines can more accurately grasp the temperature, time, and weight, which is much more accurate than human labor. "

Hearing this, Li Yunshu pursed his lips and said: "But machines can never replace labor. I think that in Yuxiao Pavilion, the small part of tea that is not produced by machines is basically high-quality goods? Although not It must be the best, but definitely belongs to the upper class."

The man looked Li Yunshu up and down in surprise for a long time, and said in amazement: "How do you know? I am basically responsible for the purchase and auction of tea, and I don't even know the process before the finished product. But most of the handmade teas are really top grade.”

There was a look of disappointment on the handsome young man's fair face, and he said helplessly: "I have already said just now that machines can never replace human labor." Looking down at the bright yellow tea soup, Li Yunshu said: "If it is ordinary A piece of tea, if it is produced by a machine, it will be much more precise, and it can even make the best quality. But now this is a piece of Junshan Yinzhen that should belong to the best."

At this time, except for Li Yunshu and the middle-aged man who knows a little bit, only a group of other staff who are in charge of testing the quality of tea can understand their conversation, and Luo Wen has long been surrounded by fog, only confused. I vaguely know that there is probably a problem with the machined production.

Li Yunshu said: "Junshan Yinzhen is yellow tea. The post-production process is divided into nine processes: finishing, cooling, initial baking, second cooling, initial packaging, re-baking, second cooling, re-packing and drying. Tea production is relatively cumbersome, so it also requires a high level of tea farmers. But since it is produced by machine, then naturally there is no such worry, and each temperature is accurate to the degree, and each time is accurate. Seconds, and the weight was measured very accurately, so the jar of Junshan silver needles we see now came out."

While talking, Li Yunshu packed his things and planned to put the porcelain lid on again, but seeing the scattered tea leaves on the lid, he hesitated for a while, and finally decided to carefully pour the silver needles back In the tea pot.

"In terms of perfection, this pot of Junshan Silver Needle has reached a level, and I am afraid that there is no similar tea that can surpass it in a short time. However, this is only from the appearance and aroma. Because no one can deeply understand it without tasting the tea. You can feel the vitality contained in the tea, but once you take a sip, those who really know how to know it will feel it - the regret of killing perfection with a machine, such as... Master Huang."

Germinated from the deep and inclusive earth, breaking through the dusty soil with soft and tender buds, from the first time it touched the world, tea has contained the stability that belongs to the earth.After absorbing the natural wind, frost and sun, an experienced tea farmer selects the best tens of centimeters from the tea tree, and uses it as the most perfect part of the whole tea tree.

Thousands of years since the beginning of Shennong, the relationship between people and tea has not been distinguished, and the processes and the aftertaste of tea are slowly sublimated under the years of tempering, and finally reached today. mature.

Li Yunshu's sigh sounded in the quiet Tea Pavilion, he shook his head and said: "Among the other high-grade teas, there are not a few that are made by machines, and this situation is almost impossible to avoid now. Machines It is indeed more accurate than manual work, so this is not a big deal. However, this can of Junshan Yinzhen is probably too pursuit of perfection. Instead, it ignores that the new tea itself is the best, and processes it with the method of making ordinary treasures, making this kind of The sense of perfection is covered with a layer of...falseness. I think that Master Huang only needs to take a sip to fully appreciate it."

The crisp closing sound of the lid of the tea pot was very loud in the quiet room. Li Yunshu gently put the tea pot back on the table. At this time, he no longer had any interest in looking at this pot, which he once regarded as the best. tea leaves.

"This pot of tea should have been semi-machined when it was finalized. Based on the feeling that it is floating on the surface of the tea and has not penetrated completely, I guess that the production steps after finalization are probably fully mechanized. "

At this time, no one said anything, Luo Wen didn't know what to say at all, and the middle-aged man thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is...is there really such a big gap? I have drank a lot of machine-made and artificial tea, but I have never experienced the false feeling you mentioned, this... this is really too unreal!"

Li Yunshu shook his head in disapproval, then directly picked up the cup of tea soup and handed it to the other party, saying: "Maybe it's because you have never tried such a good raw material before. Try it, I believe you should also I could feel something was wrong.”

The man took the white porcelain cup with half-belief, just took a sip, he was stunned for a while, and then took several more sips.After confirming and confirming again, he put down the cup and looked at Li Yunshu: "It seems that the precipitation is not so...heavy?"

Li Yunshu nodded: "Almost, that's how it feels. The tea leaves picked every year are different, and even the tea picked every day will not be exactly the same. The machine can calculate the physical data perfectly. But it cannot make changes. Experienced tea farmers may not be able to control every number accurately, but they do know-what is needed for the new tea in hand. "

"Perfection does not mean the best, let alone the limit that tea pursues."

Li Yunshu's words finally sealed the whole matter.

Luo Wen was vaguely holding his top grade Junshan Yinzhen, which took nearly [-] yuan to photograph, without saying a word, sitting alone on a stool in the corner of the Pinming Pavilion and looking at the ground, with a dull expression and eyes Godless, there is quite an attitude of life without love.

On the other side, the middle-aged man started to accompany Li Yunshu, looking for the tea leaves that he would hand in for the second time tomorrow.From the expensive and good tea on the shelf to the three rows of various teas placed on the table in the room, it took Li Yunshu less than 10 minutes to pick out a can, and handed it to the middle-aged man with a smile .

The other party asked a few more questions in surprise, and Mr. Li's few casual words dispelled the man's doubts.I saw that the person in charge of the Pinming Pavilion in Yuxiao Pavilion looked at the young man in front of him with some admiration, who was obviously a round younger than him, and he didn't have the airs that Li Yunshu had when he entered the room at the beginning.

After the middle-aged man and Li Yunshu confirmed again, the former went out first and started packing the tea.It was only then that Li Yunshu realized that Luo Wen seemed to have disappeared for a long time, he glanced around, and soon found that stupid looking man in the corner of Pinming Pavilion.

Li Yunshu looked at Luo Wen in amazement for a long time, and when he found that he was tightly holding the jar of red porcelain Junshan silver needles in his hand, Mr. Li thought briefly for a moment and then understood the murderer who caused the other party to look like this:

Probably because I was sad that the tea I bought at a sky-high price was disapproved by others.

Even though they met for a short time, Li Yunshu also understood that although Luo Wen is a profit-seeking businessman, his nature is not bad, otherwise he would not come to B University to invite him as a student.

Thinking of this, Li Yunshu walked up to Luo Wen. He raised the corners of his lips and comforted him gently, "Mr. Sad. This kind of perfection is also another kind of uniqueness, I believe your money is not wasted, there is still..."

"You say this is still the best?!"

"It's still valuable...huh?" Li Yunshu's words were suddenly interrupted, he was stunned for a moment before nodding slightly, and said with a chuckle: "Well, I believe that in the tea ceremony industry nowadays, people like Master Huang are more biased towards artificial There are still a small number of them, and it is very difficult to find such an extremely small gap without being reminded."

Li Yunshu didn't explain at all why he tasted weird facts in one bite, and at this time, Luo Wen didn't notice at all—the young man in front of him seemed to have the strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with Master Huang to some extent.

Luo Wen jumped up from the stool excitedly, really—jumped, and then asked excitedly: "So this can of tea is still top-quality, and it can still be sold at a good price?"

"...Mr. Luo?" Li Yunshu's smile froze.

"Say it earlier! What you just said is too complicated, and I thought this bag of tea was inferior!" Luo Wen's pale face suddenly turned rosy, and Luo Wen carefully held the tea pot in his hand again. , said: "As long as you can sell it for a good price, then you can say anything, haha!"

Li Yunshu: "..."

If it wasn't for the premium silver needle!

If it wasn't for capable people from all over the world!

If it wasn't for Master Huang!

I'm afraid that Mr. Li has already thrown his sleeves away, secretly swearing that--

In this life, he will never step into Yuxiao Pavilion again!

Cough, you can still enter the Pinming Pavilion.
