    As he spoke, Zhang Shengqian came to Zhang Ran and the others and nodded to Liu Jianjun and Beichen with a smile: "The second son of the Liu family. The young master of the Beizhen Martial Arts School."

    "Hello, Mr. Zhang." Liu Jianjun and Liu Jianjun also greeted Zhang Shengqian with a smile.

    Although Zhang Shengqian is the owner of Yushifu, he is a master of calligraphy. He does not appear in the store many times, and Liu Jianjun has only seen him a few times.

    Precisely because Zhang Shengqian is not an ordinary businessman, Liu Jiandong and Liu Jiandong admire Zhang Shengqian very much.

    Zhang Shengqian and Liu Jianjun greeted each other, then looked at Zhang Ran and said with a smile: "This little friend is not a native of Kyoto, he looks strange."

    "I'm from Huacheng. I just came to Kyoto yesterday to study at Kyoto University." Zhang Ran said politely.

    "Haha, it turns out he is a top student from Beijing University, no wonder." Zhang Shengqian nodded and then said with a smile: "I just heard my little friend take a calligraphy test, and he seems to have some skills. I wonder if I would like to talk to the old man."

    "It's what I asked for." Zhang Ran smiled hurriedly. Although he had never heard of Zhang Shengqian's fame, he heard that Zhang Shengqian was a master of calligraphy, so he didn't dare to neglect it.

    There are not as many masters as there are in the past few years. Those who can be called masters are those with real skills. Zhang Ran, a boy from the mountain village, is naturally very happy to be able to talk to a calligraphy master.

    "Okay. Let's go to Bihai Pavilion together. This is my treat." Zhang Sheng said with a smile, and then personally led the way.

    Hearing Zhang Shengqian's words, Zhang Ran didn't think anything, but Liu Jianjun looked at each other with joy in his eyes.

    Seeing Zhang Ran's confusion, Liu Jianjun hurriedly explained in a low voice: "This Bihai Pavilion is a private room exclusively for Mr. Zhang. The number of people who can be invited by Mr. Zhang to eat in it is only in the double digits in Kyoto. Now we have got you."  The light is gone.¡±

    This is the psychology of different people. In Kyoto, neither Liu Jianjun nor Beichen is considered an ordinary person. The worst they can do is have food and clothing. At their level, what matters most is face. I can go where others cannot go. This is  A sense of superiority, even if it just happens this time, can be bragging in front of others in the future.

    Bihai Pavilion is located at the innermost part of the second floor, close to Jingxi Road outside. Through the window, you can see the prosperity outside. It is considered to be the best private room in the imperial restaurant.

    The private room was very large, and the four people entered it without paying attention to their priorities. They sat down casually, and Zhang Shengqian said hello: "Whatever you like to eat is mine."

    Liu Jianjun and Liu Jianjun knew Zhang Shengqian's temperament. Mr. Zhang did not invite people to dinner easily, and often could not tolerate rejection once he opened his mouth. Therefore, they both smiled and nodded. The two of them did not refuse, and Zhang Ran naturally had no objection.

    When ordering, the waiter brought tea. Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "I don't like wine, so I will drink tea instead of wine. This is the best Shifeng Longjing before the rain. Even Xiao Liu may not be able to taste it."  You can drink it.¡±

    Zhang Shengqian¡¯s words are not bragging, the Yuqian Shifeng Longjing is very particular, and what he brought out is certainly not an ordinary product. The Yuqian Shifeng Longjing refers to the best of the West Lake Longjing.

    West Lake Longjing tea was originally ranked first among China's famous teas. The tea leaves are "green in color, fragrant, mellow in taste, and beautiful in shape", and can be called the "four wonders".  There are five categories in Jiawu, and Shifeng is the leader among them.  There is a folk saying that "the most famous tea in the world is Longjing, and the best Longjing tea is at Shifeng."

    Shifeng Longjing was named after Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.  It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou, and learned from the tea girls to pick tea.  As soon as he picked a handful, the eunuch suddenly came to report: "The Queen Mother is ill, please return to the capital as soon as possible." Emperor Qianlong hurried back to the capital and brought back a handful of dried tea leaves from Shifeng Mountain in Hangzhou, exuding a rich aroma.  .  The Queen Mother wanted to taste the tea, so she brewed it and took a sip. Her eyes immediately felt much better. After drinking the tea, the redness and swelling disappeared, the stomach was no longer bloated, and all kinds of discomfort disappeared. The Queen Mother happily said: "Hangzhou Longjing Tea"  Tea is truly a panacea." For this reason, Emperor Qianlong immediately issued an order to designate the eighteen tea trees in front of Hu Gong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain in Longjing, Hangzhou as imperial tea, and pick new tea every year as a tribute to the Queen Mother.

    Of course, this is just a folk legend and cannot be believed, but it is true that the Shifeng Longjing was granted the title of Emperor Qianlong. In particular, the eighteen tea trees in front of the Hugong Temple have always been tribute tea to the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.

    Due to various reasons such as geographical location, the tea leaves produced by these eighteen tea trees are of excellent quality, especially the tea leaves picked before the Qingming rain, which are made by special techniques and are among the best.

    But after all, there are only eighteen tea trees, and the amount of good tea produced each year is limited, only a few hundred kilograms in total. Basically, it is distributed to the national leaders, and even the Liu family's ability is not easy to obtain.

    Zhang Shengqian¡¯s Lion Peak before the Rain was a gift from the chief designer. The chief designer liked traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy and often invitedZhang Shengqian was lucky enough to get some of Shengqian's writing skills. It was no exaggeration to say that Liu Jianjun might not be able to drink it.

    Of course, Zhang Shengqian¡¯s tone was not without a hint of showoff. Everyone has their own preferences, but there was no need to go into details. Zhang Ran and the three of them all smiled and nodded.

    I have to say that the Shifeng Longjing before the rain is indeed the best tea. Zhang Ran took a sip, let the tea swirl in his mouth, and then swallowed it slowly. As expected, the fragrance left on his teeth, making people have endless aftertaste.

    When Zhang Ran was drinking tea, Zhang Shengqian kept staring at Zhang Ran. When he saw Zhang Ran finished drinking, he nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he took out the tea with exquisite taste.

    Zhang Ran was testing calligraphy downstairs just now. Zhang Shengqian felt that Zhang Ran was not simple. Now when he saw Zhang Ran drinking tea, his face was full of approval.

    The Chinese tea ceremony has a long history. In fact, it has many similarities with calligraphy and traditional Chinese medicine. It is difficult for a person who does not know how to taste tea to become a good traditional Chinese medicine doctor or a good calligrapher.

    In fact, Taoism is the same. As the saying goes, Taoism is inseparable from all changes. Chinese Taoism often pays attention to artistic conception, whether it is tea ceremony or medicine, especially Confucianism.

    People who drink wine are often generous, while people who drink tea are elegant. In ancient times, warlocks liked tea more and military generals liked wine more. This is actually because of this.

    Zhang Ran¡¯s tea ceremony was cultivated by Hu Shanyun. Although he did not enter the tea ceremony, he was still on the stage, which did not disappoint Zhang Shengqian.

    "It is indeed a good tea. After drinking it, you will feel intoxicated, as if you have seen the drizzle on the West Lake during the Qingming Festival." Zhang Ran put down the teacup and smiled.

    "Haha, as the saying goes, wine meets a bosom friend, and tea meets a bosom friend. Good tea can only be drunk by those who know tea, and my little friend's level is worthy of this tea." Zhang Shengqian also laughed.

    After laughing, Zhang Shengqian asked: "Just now, my little friend saw that I was in trouble just by using the word 'fei'. Can you possibly guess what is in trouble for me?"

    "Lao Zhang, please write one more word." Zhang Ran said.

    Zhang Shengqian nodded when he heard the words, dipped some tea, and wrote another word on the table.

    "No"

    What Zhang Shengqian wrote on the table was still the word "non". After finishing writing, he looked at Zhang Ran again, smiling and saying nothing.

    "This master of calligraphy knows how to make things mysterious." Zhang Ran smiled in his heart. Zhang Shengqian wrote the same word and asked him to test different meanings, which was difficult for him.

    After all, he had already seen that Zhang Shengqian was in a dilemma through the word "Fei" before. At this time, Zhang Shengqian asked him about the specific matter but wrote the word "Fei" again. The meaning was very obvious and it was a bit like a test.  .

    Divination is also a divination technique passed down from ancient times in China. Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty and Ji Xiaolan of the Qing Dynasty were both leaders. Naturally, there is a lot of knowledge in the art of divination.

    As the saying goes, "One person writes one character, and the strokes are different; one character accounts for ten things, and the emotions and reasons are naturally different." It can be seen that Zhang Shengqian should also know some methods of character testing, otherwise he would not write this "non" again.

    Seeing Zhang Shengqian's faint smile, Zhang Ran said: "The word 'Fei', the two sides are close to each other, and together they are 'Feng'. The word 'Feng' looks like the word 'Íõ' with two sides coming out."  A person from below will have a baby in the family, a person from above will be rich and powerful, but it will be very unlucky for them to be successful together."

    Having said this, Zhang Ran paused deliberately and said: "If my guess is correct, Mr. Zhang should be happy to have children and grandchildren, but he can only save one adult and one child. Mr. Zhang is in trouble because of this."

    Initially, Zhang Shengqian still had a light smile on his face, but as Zhang Ran spoke more, his expression became more and more exciting. When Zhang Ran finished speaking, he sighed and said with a sigh: "My little friend is really amazing."
