    When they returned to Mu Yueze's ward with Jiang Yawen, Meng Zitao and the others did not tell the truth, but only talked about work matters, and then they left.

    After getting in the car, Yu Weigang said: "Why is this guy Yueze so lucky? He has met such a good girl, and she is still following him wholeheartedly."

    "Why, are you envious?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.

    Yu Weigang chuckled: "How could I be envious? My wife is even more perfect than her, okay!"

    "Stop pretending, I don't know you yet?"

    "Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for slander"

    They joked a little with each other and went to have a meal nearby.

    "Zitao, where are you going this afternoon?"

    "I'm going to see a senior in the Antique City."

    "Can I go?"

    "Of course, no problem. I'll make a call first and ask him where he is now."

    Jiang Weiwen and his friends happened to be going back to the store after dinner, so Meng Zitao and the others took a car to the antique city.

    Going straight to Jiang Weiwen¡¯s antique shop, Meng Zitao saw that in the store, in addition to Jiang Weiwen and Yuan Lin, whom he met for the first time, there was also an old man in his fifties, wearing Chinese clothes and with an elegant temperament.

    Seeing Meng Zitao and the others coming in, Jiang Weiwen smiled and said: "Come on, let me introduce you. This is Meng Zitao, Mr. Zheng's close disciple that I mentioned. Although he is young, he has a pair of piercing eyes."

    "Mr. Jiang, you are so complimentary." Meng Zitao quickly became humble.

    Jiang Weiwen then introduced: "This is my good friend, Luo Yuening, a master of tea ceremony."

    Luo Yuening smiled and said: "What kind of tea ceremony expert? I just like tea, but I can never be called an 'expert'."

    "Just be humble"

    After Yu Weigang was introduced and everyone exchanged a few words, Meng Zitao noticed some utensils placed on the table, the most eye-catching of which was a sapphire tea grinder.

    In the Tang Dynasty, people mainly drank cake tea. Before drinking tea, the cake tea needed to be ground into fine powder before making tea, otherwise it would be difficult to boil the tea juice.  The function of the tea grinder is to grind the cake tea into fine powder. It is a device used for making tea.

    Lu Yu called it "falling" in the "Tea Classic", which is shaped like a wheel, thick in the middle and thin at the edge.  There is a round hole in the middle of the grinding wheel, which can penetrate wood.  Unfortunately, the shaft wood no longer exists.  Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Tea": "Tea. Fragrance, tender buds. I admire poets and love monks' homes. White jade is ground and carved, and red yarn is woven. Yellow pistils are fried in the color, and dust flowers are turned around in the bowl. The queen of the night invites  Accompany the bright moon, and face the morning glow. People of all ages and times are untiring, how can they be praised when they are about to get drunk?"

    When talking about sencha in the poem, use a white jade grinder to grind the cake tea into powder, use a red gauze tea bag to sift it, then add the tea cypress to sencha, and pour it into the tea bowl.  Tea.

    The tea grinder in front of you is made of sapphire and is divided into upper and lower parts.  The lower part is a ship-shaped groove with two flat feet for stability.  The top is a jade grinding shaft. Although the jade quality of the tea grinding mill is not particularly outstanding, it is not bad in terms of size, and the carving is also quite detailed. It can be regarded as a useful and appreciated tea ceremony utensil.

    After noticing the tea grinder, the small red clay stove, and other tea ceremony tools, Meng Zitao understood: "Are you preparing to make tea?"

    Jiang Weiwen nodded and said: "Yes, Xiao Meng, have you done any research on tea ceremony?"

    Meng Zitao smiled sheepishly: "I really don't have much research on tea ceremony."

    Jiang Weiwen asked: "Are you not interested in tea ceremony?"

    Meng Zitao said: "It can't be said that I'm not interested. I couldn't afford good tea before, but now I still have a lot of knowledge to learn, and I don't care about studying tea ceremony at all."

    Yuan Lin next to him smiled and said: "Yes, Teacher Meng is still young. With your current achievements, you have to give up something."

    "That's right."

    Jiang Weiwen nodded in agreement. Meng Zitao was only in his twenties, and he had such a vision. He must be focused on learning things.

    "It doesn't matter, Lao Luo is here today to let you experience the charm of the tea ceremony. It will not only be a feast for the eyes, but also a feast for the mouth. Lao Luo, let's get started."

    "OK."

    Luo Yuening opened a box in front of him and took out an oblate-shaped object wrapped in paper.

    This thing is shaped like a chess piece, smaller than chess and larger than Go. When you open the white paper wrapped on the outside, you can see that there is a small tea cake inside.

    Luo YueningA common tool, a tea spoon, is used to rotate, strike and stir the tea soup in the tea cup to make it bloom.  Holding a tea spoon in hand to hit the tea soup is called "Yun Zhan". You can move the tea spoon back and forth, either to hit the tea soup or to brush the flowers in the tea soup.  Cooperate with each other to produce the best results.  "

    Yu Weigang lamented: "I didn't expect that the ancients would go to such trouble just to drink a cup of tea."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Actually, this is how people in the Song Dynasty used to fight for tea."

    Yu Weigang said in surprise: "Fighting tea? Tea can still fight."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Of course, we can fight over the quality of the tea leaves and the level of the tea."

    Yu Weigang asked: "What kind of tea is the best in the end?"

    Meng Zitao explained: "There are two standards for tea tasting. One is the color of the soup, which is the color of the tea noodle soup. The general standard is pure white, green white, gray white, yellow white, and so on. Pure white color indicates the quality of the tea.  If it is fresh and tender, it means it was steamed at just the right temperature; if it is green, it means the heat was not enough during steaming; if it is gray, it means the heat was too high during steaming; if it is yellow, it means it was not picked in time; if it is red, it means the roasting was overheated."  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
