Chapter 59 The Four Arts of the Tea Ceremony

After saying that, he gently put down the Mansheng pot and said with regret: "It's a pity that the pearl is thrown secretly, and it is not well maintained and the patina is not very good."

"That's why I have to find someone who knows pots like you to reflect the value of Mansheng pots!"

Ling Tiancheng quickly flattered and said, "You already have three genuine products here, plus this one, exactly four, Sihai, Sihai, and the veritable Sihai Tower!"

"You boy..."

Yan Sihai pointed Ling Tiancheng with his hand and scolded: "It's no wonder Brother Ling said that you have no eyesight and good lip skills!"

The three of them laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Yan Sihai slowly took out five purple clay teapots, gently placed them on the tea sea, opened the lid, and put them in different tea leaves respectively, and smiled and said, "But you are right, Sihai, Sihai, I have always wanted to get four Mansheng pots, but I didn't expect that if I wanted to plant flowers and flowers, I wouldn't bloom, and if I didn't want to plant willows and willows, I took the initiative to deliver them to my door today?"

He looked at Wen Yiming and said, "My friend is such a distinguished guest. Please give me some advice!"

After saying that, he picked up the small feather fan and started to slap the charcoal fire. The flames became bigger and bigger, and the iron kettle began to make a low voice.

"Did you use bamboo charcoal?"

Wen Yiming's nose moved slightly, looked at the fire charcoal, and smiled and said, ""A thousand tears of bamboo, and thousands of red clouds and hundreds of heavy clothes."

"Good eyesight!"

Yan Sihai was shocked and said in surprise: "Can you actually see the origin of this charcoal?"

"Chen Ding's "Bamboo Book" calls it Xiaoxiang bamboo or "tear marks bamboo, with black spots on the pole, which is quite beautiful. "The Record of Array": "The two daughters of Yao and the two concubines of Shun were called 'Madam Xiang'. Shun collapsed, and the two concubines cried, and they waved their tears, and the bamboos were covered with spots."

Wen Yiming smiled and said, "It is said that in ancient times, Xiang Concubine's tears were stained with green bamboo, and spotted bamboos grew and nuggets grew in later generations and nourished the nine provinces. The root cause was that Emperor Shun worked hard for the people and worked tirelessly, and he died in his life. Later generations named it "Santa Zhu", which means that he was able to adapt to Shun's great ambitions and hard work, and he worked hard for the people and died after death."

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad!"

Yan Sihai nodded slightly and agreed: "It is the charcoal of bamboo, the four arts of tea ceremony, charcoal water and fire tea. Charcoal is the first element. I have studied various charcoals and finally selected scattered bamboo. Its nature is soft and has a faint smell, which is most suitable for regulating firepower."

Wen Yiming nodded secretly. This is the master. Details determine success or failure. Tea ceremony is the same as incense ceremony. Any factor can determine the final result. You cannot be careless.

Yan Sihai became interested in Wen Yiming, pointed to the iron pot and asked: "It seems that my friend has also studied the tea ceremony? What can this pot see?"

"Kinsudo, Lao Tie Kettle, Edo period!"

Wen Yiming had already seen the iron pot and said softly: "Kin Shoutang is one of the important halls of Kyoto Iron Pots. Its works with Longwentang and Turtle Pots are known as the three major systems of iron pot inscriptions. Its founder, Ayamiya, and Ayūnosuke, became the production of iron pots in that era, and his works were presented in the palace as tributes."

"It emphasizes the exquisite production of the pot body and is famous for its stable quality. Compared with the fancy works of Long Wentang, its production style is more elegant and simple. The technique of making iron pots is unique, and it is good at using different metal materials such as gold, silver and copper inlaid or embossed on the body or handle of the pot, which was extremely precious and gorgeous at that time."

"Look at the patina and the Hokkien in your iron pot, it should be in the Edo era, and only good pots can produce good water!"

"Have eyesight!"

Yan Sihai clapped his hands gently and said happily: "My friend is really a fellow practitioner. I have been with me for more than 30 years. I have achieved some success. I have cultivated some spirituality and can barely enter the house and entertain guests."

Ling Tiancheng thought to himself: "The old iron pot from the Edo period has been maintained for another 30 years, so it is only a must-have? You are so old that you can show off!"

Wen Yiming nodded, smelled the water vapor constantly coming out of the pot, and said softly: "Zhang Dafu, a native of the Ming Dynasty, said in "Plum Blossoms and Grassland Cottage": "Tea nature must be produced from water. Eight parts of tea, if you encounter tens of water, the tea will also be tens of tea; if you try tens of tea, the tea will only be eight parts of ears."

"The Tea Classic? Five Boiling" says: The water is used on the mountains and rivers, in the rivers, and under the wells."

"According to the experience of the ancients, water should be clear, live, light, sweet, and cold. Clear means colorless, transparent, and no precipitation; living means flowing water, flowing water does not rot, the door hinge does not rot, living water is cleaner than stagnant water; light refers to specific gravity, and light weight is generally soft water suitable for tea; sweet means water tastes light and sweet; cold means water is the best for water, cold, ice water, and snow water."

After saying that, he moved his nose and two different smells came, and he smiled and said, "Does the water come from the deep spring water?"

"sharp!"

Yan Sihai was shocked and became more and more surprised at Wen Yiming. It was not too difficult to see the origin of the old Tie Ke. After all, Jinshoutang is famous and veteran players can know it as much as possible. But it is surprising that you can see the tricks of water at a glance!

"Not only that, you also added some dew to the water? The water quality is softer and sweeter, and it is rare!"

Since you are pretending to behave, then pretend to be the end! Wen Yiming directly revealed the mystery. He smelled and knew that the water was a spring water transported from the deep mountains thousands of miles away, and the early spring dew was added inside, and the smell was indeed extraordinary.

"you……"

One sentence shocked Yan Sihai, staring at Wen Yiming, and said shockedly: "Gao, it's really high!"

Ling Tiancheng smiled but said nothing, and was no longer surprised by Wen Yiming's magic. The same was true for Hu Jianmin last time. He scared the billionaire. This time, he was like this again. He couldn't accept it!

Yan Sihai said seriously: "In his "Record of Jiancha Water", Zhang Youxin, a Tang Dynasty man, revealed that the tea god Lu Yu ranked the water in the world, "Lushan Kangwang Valley Water Curtain Water" ranked first, and the "Tea on the top of Mengshan Mountain, the water in the heart of the Yangtze River" among the "Yangzi Jiangnan Zero Water" ranked sixth, and the 20th place was "Snow Water".

"He also listed the list of the late Minister of Justice Liu Bochu, and listed "Yangzi Jiangnan Zero Water" as the top. Zhang himself proposed that the first one was "Tonglu River Yanzitan Water". After that, Ouyang Xiu, Song Huizong, Zhu Quan, Zhang Qiande, Xu Cixu and others joined the debate."

"Emperor Qianlong, who was skilled in tea ceremony, personally investigated and appointed BJ Yuquan water as the "No. 1 Spring in the World", and wrote the article "Yuquan Mountain, the First Spring in the World" and said: I once made a silver bucket to compare the water of Yuquan in the capital, and the water of Yuquan in the capital was one liang heavy; the water of Yixun on the block was also one liang heavy; the Pearl Spring in Jinan was one liang and two liang heavy; the Jinshan Spring in Yangzi River was one liang and three liang heavy; the Yuquan was two liang heavy, and the three liang heavy. When it came to Huishan, Hupao, each weighed four liang and Pingshan was six liang; Qingliang Mountain, Baisha, Huqiu and Biyun Temple in Xishan each weighed one liang and one liang."

"I have collected vegetarian food and cooked it, which is three cents lighter than the Yuquan Dou Dou. The snow water cannot be obtained forever. Anyone who comes from the mountain and has a coldness will definitely not be as good as the Yuquan in the capital, so it is determined to be the best spring in the world!"

Wen Yiming said softly: "Storage a scoop of spring water in the silver bottle, and the sound of pine rain makes the milky flowers ripe."

Ling Tiancheng also sighed: "Sit down and drink the cold water, watch the dust and dust. There is no way to hold a bowl and send it to the tea lover."

Yan Sihai was about to speak when suddenly a light whistle came from the iron pot, like a breeze blowing across the leaves, crisp and pleasant.

Wen Yiming smiled and said, "The first sound of the sound at the bottom of the pot should be boiling, but the heat has not arrived, so wait for a moment!"

"Three points of technology and seven points of popularity!" Yan Sihai's more and more pleasing to Wen Yiming, and he was so proficient in tea ceremony at a young age!
