Chapter 73 Gifts
Opening the door, a dark and narrow corridor appeared in front of him. Without hesitation, Yang Cheng stepped across the threshold and walked along the path. The path was paved with cobblestones, just like a blind man stepping on a blind path. Although he couldn't see it,
But you won't get lost.
Human beings have subconscious fear of dark environments. Even Hansen, who has received hard training, cannot avoid it and unconsciously puts his hand on the holster.
After walking about 7 or 8 meters, an orange-yellow chandelier with a halo at the end of the corridor suddenly lit up, and the wooden door on the side was also opened. According to general logic, a person should have appeared at this time.
The skinny old man asked who the visitor was with a gloomy expression.
On the contrary, the person who opened the door to welcome Yang Cheng was an energetic, white-haired and childlike old man. With a kind and friendly smile on his face, he said to Yang Cheng, "Welcome, this guest."
Turning sideways, Yang Cheng and his party entered the house, and their sight suddenly opened up. This was a small house with an area of more than 20 square meters. The furnishings were old but very warm and uncomplicated. Except for the priceless old huanghuali floor-standing tea table.
Outside, there were only two chairs and bookshelves on two walls. The books on the bookshelves showed signs of being frequently read.
After turning around, Yang Cheng pointed at the still warm tea on the tea table and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, is he still so artistic?"
The store owner, who was called Mr. Liu, kept smiling, "You know me, little friend?"
"Mr. Liu forgot? I am Yang Yuanshan's grandson, Yang Cheng." Yang Cheng didn't mind that the old man had forgotten him. It was too long ago. The last time he came here was when Yang Yuanshan brought him here when he was 14 or 5 years old. It was more than 10 years ago.
Over time, I have changed a lot, but Mr. Liu is getting younger and younger as he lives. As for Mr. Liu’s full name, Yang Cheng, I don’t know yet. Grandpa asked him to call him that, so he called him that.
"Oh, I said you look familiar. It turns out you are Lao Yang's grandson. Alas, he has grown so big in a blink of an eye. Is your grandpa okay?" Liu Lao suddenly came closer and carefully checked Yang Cheng's face with emotion.
road.
"Very well, Mr. Liu is worried." Yang Cheng replied, patting the solid tea table.
"What are you going to buy this time, little friend?" After Mr. Liu returned to the tea table, he motioned for Yang Cheng to sit down, and his hands began to move smoothly, scalding the pot, washing the tea, and making the tea. Although this set of movements was not as fast as a woman's.
It's soft and elegant, but has a fairytale feel to it.
He poured half a cup of tea and put it in front of Yang Cheng. The green tea cup from Ru kiln was paired with light yellow tea soup. A faint wisp of light smoke curled straight up, which quickly calmed down the impetuous heart. Yang Cheng unconsciously slowed down his movements.
, picked up the tea cup in front of his nose and smelled the tea.
Close your eyes, take the first sip and taste the aroma, let the tea soup swirl in your mouth, and the aroma is filled; take the second sip, swallow the tea soup, and taste the sweet, bitter and other taste levels contained in the tea; take the third sip and savor it carefully.
To taste the flavor of tea carefully, to identify the quality of tea and to understand the historical connotation of tea, this is the tea ceremony.
Yang Cheng has been taken by Liu Muqian to drink tea since he was a child. He cannot say that he knows much about tea, but he also has a unique experience. He feels the fragrance and unique refreshing taste reverberating in his mouth. He puts down the tea cup and looks up at Liu with a smile on his face.
Lao, "Lu'an Guapian is tea picked from the Bat Cave in Qitoushan, LA City. No wonder grandpa said that Mr. Liu has ten of the best things in the world."
"Haha, my little friend is not bad. There are very few young people who can drink Lu'an Guapian nowadays, and those who can taste the place of production are even less. Not bad! It's really good!" Mr. Liu laughed loudly and clapped his hands without hesitation.
commend.
Yang Cheng touched his nose and said, "It's just a fluke. I drank it once from my grandpa when I was a child. It was that time that I was deeply impressed by the very subtle aftertaste of this tea. I called that taste 'shit smell'."
"It's an interesting statement, and I'm not wrong. Isn't the reason why this kind of tea has been so loved by several great men thanks to the feces pooped by groups of bats in the bat cave as nourishment?" Mr. Liu
I quite agree with Yang Cheng’s point of view.
"Mr. Liu, I came here to pick out some good items as gifts. Do you have any recommendations?" Yang Cheng leaned over and picked up the Justice Cup, poured himself a cup of tea, and got to the point.
"Most of the people who come to me to buy things have the same purpose. I have some good stuff, it depends on who you want to give it to." Mr. Liu is dressed like this, and if he has a bun on his head, he looks like an immortal.
"Sending an old man from a martial arts background and a younger sister who grew up together." Yang Cheng took a sip of tea and introduced simply.
"Being from a martial arts background? I have an Emperor's Katana here." Mr. Liu thought for a moment and gave a suggestion.
But he was immediately declined by Yang Cheng, "That old man has killed Japanese soldiers, and the samurai swords he collected at home are enough for chopping firewood."
"Oh? He's still a hero. Let me think about it. In fact, there aren't many choices. Calligraphy, Chinese painting, porcelain, or tea?" Mr. Liu said thoughtfully.
When talking about tea, Yang Cheng's heart moved. Grandpa Situ has no shortage of calligraphy, painting, antiques and the like, but good tea is not so easy to get. "Just this Lu'an Guapian, Mr. Liu, do you have any more?"
"You know how to choose, okay, I'll give you 1 catty. I only have less than half a catty left, and I don't know if it's enough to drink." Mr. Liu nodded at the orange, regretting that he took the initiative to bring it up.
But I didn't feel too bad. Although this tea was difficult to obtain, it was not as rare as the mother tree Dahongpao.
Yang Cheng thanked him quickly. No matter how expensive a pound of tea is, it is not much more expensive. When younger people give gifts to their elders, what matters is the intention, not the value of the gift.
"How old is your sister?" Mr. Liu poured water into the teapot.
"22, just graduated from college." Yang Cheng picked up the Pixiu tea pet on the tea table and played with it as he replied.
"That's just right. I just bought a set of Cartier bracelets the day before yesterday. Wait for me for a while." Mr. Liu put down the kettle, stood up and exited the small room.
Yang Cheng stood up with the tea cup and went to the bookshelf. He looked at the books in the collection and secretly admired Mr. Liu's literary heritage. From the yellow marks and wrinkles on the surface of the book, it was not difficult to tell that it had been read many times.
After waiting for less than 5 minutes, Mr. Liu returned to the house with a brown paper bag in each hand, took out a velvet box from one of the bags, opened it and placed it casually on the tea table, "This is what the people below brought in, I don't want to
If you understand jewelry, see for yourself."
This is a set of sapphire clips and diamond bracelets. Each clip is designed in the shape of a flower. It is mainly made of exquisite oval and cushion-shaped sapphires, and is decorated with dazzling diamonds. It is very exquisite and perfect and can be decorated on the bracelet.
, can also be installed on other clothing.
The sapphires and diamonds used are of very good quality. The gemstones are very transparent and clean. They are cut into two different shapes, which better highlights its unique design, which is unique, beautiful and vivid.
Given the appearance of this set of jewelry, it would be on the market for less than 150,000 US dollars. The price is right, and the little girl wouldn’t feel burdened by giving it to Situ Yanran. The style is also worthy of Situ Yanran’s pure temperament. Yang Cheng has not touched it.
After a few glances, I decided in my mind that the ability to appreciate jewelry is a family tradition!
Nodding to express satisfaction, "Mr. Liu, I want this set of jewelry. How much does it cost together with the tea?"
"Let's put together a total of 200,000 US dollars. You know my rules." The rules in Liu's mouth refer to no counter-offer and only cash.
No matter how large the transaction amount is, only cash is accepted, and check transfers are not accepted. People who come here for the first time will be embarrassed if they don't know the rules.
"No problem, I brought cash." Yang Cheng snapped his fingers to the bodyguards behind him. One of the new bodyguards came over with a password box. Rolls of beautiful knives were neatly arranged in the box, with 5 rows and 6 columns, a total of 30
volume, which is US$300,000.
He took out four columns of 200,000 US dollars and placed them on the tray prepared by Mr. Liu. Yang Cheng raised his hand and said, "Mr. Liu, check it out?"
