In the small courtyard at noon, the sun shines warmly, especially comfortable, an old and a young sit in front of the dining table, are feasting, facing the temptation of food, children eat with relish, and even their fingers are not forgotten to lick clean.

Li Qifeng sat across from the child, with a hint of a smile on his face.

Today is really an unexpected gain.

The old man, who had driven him away for five or six days in a row, actually took the initiative to invite him to drink tea and play chess today.

Li Qifeng is of course happy to do so.

The child chewed the innermost hoof tendons, looked at Li Qifeng, and said, "Big brother...... Do you know? Grandpa wants to invite you to tea, but I have a lot of credit, and I often persuade him. ”

Li Qifeng asked with a smile, "How did you persuade your grandfather?" ”

The child swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "I told my grandfather that you should know how to be grateful, and that your mouth is short when you eat people, and you have short hands when you take others...... We eat and drink you for nothing every time, which is really inappropriate, and it seems that we don't understand the politeness...... And again......"

The child stuck out his tongue, and his words stopped abruptly, and he sandwiched a piece of braised pork into his mouth.

Li Qifeng's expression was even more full of smiles, and he said, "Besides, what's ......?"

The child shook his head and said, "Nothing more." ”

The old man got up slowly and said, "Besides—if I have been rude to you, he is afraid that he will never be able to eat the free food you sent him again." ”

Li Qifeng couldn't help laughing, "Little guy, you're still quite smart." ”

The old man nodded and said, "He is like a cunning little fox. ”

"Grandpa......"

"I'm a little fox, so you're an old fox. ”

The child raised his voice.

The old man smiled, turned around and went into the house, and said, "I'll go and prepare a tea set." ”

was dotted by his grandfather in his heart, the child seemed a little embarrassed, glanced at Li Qifeng, lowered his head, and ate the food in a big gulp.

——

Soon.

The old man brought the tea set.

Li Qifeng's expression couldn't help but change, and the tea set brought out by the old man was very cumbersome.

The old man put the tea set on the stone table and said slowly: "This is something I have treasured for many years, and I haven't made tea myself for a few years, so I don't know if I can still brew it in the style of the year." ”

The boy who was eating suddenly raised his head and said, "Grandpa, don't you say that the tea I make is not inferior to you? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "You better eat your food...... After today, you won't be able to eat this kind of food again. ”

The child's expression couldn't help but change, and he said loudly, "Why?" The old man smiled and said, "You have too much oil and water in your stomach, you should digest it." ”

The child rolled his eyes and took the time to eat.

The old man carefully placed the tea set and said: "My set of things is precious, for me, except for my precious grandson, this set of tea sets is the most precious." ”

Li Qifeng nodded and said, "This set of tea sets of predecessors is much more than the usual tea sets. ”

The old man said, "My set of teas has a name called Fire Dragon Twenty-Four Vessels. ”

Li Qifeng nodded and said, "Senior, can you explain it to me carefully." The old man said, "Since you are interested, I will tell you about it, you must know that few people can calm down to learn these old antique things these days." ”

Li Qifeng said: "The younger generation listens. ”

The old man said: "My set of tea sets is composed of a total of twenty-four utensils - a wind stove, a moot, a charcoal, a fire tong, and a kettle...... Each of these 24 utensils has a great role. You must know that boiling tea is a very tedious and enjoyable thing, and only by sitting firmly and settling down can you feel the charm of tea. Li Qifeng nodded.

The old man began to boil water, poured the best mountain spring water into the kettle, lit the stove, and said: "This boiled tea has a great emphasis on three boiling, one boiling after adding tea to boil directly, the second whisk when the foam, ladle out in the cooked bowl, three boiling will be in the pot of cooked water, we call it - Yuhua." ”

Li Qifeng's expression showed a hint of a smile, and said: "Nothing else, just with your serious spirit of making tea, the tea brewed must be delicious." The old man said: "Make tea, make tea, but it's not for you to make a sycophant." Li Qifeng showed a hint of an embarrassed smile and said, "Senior, please continue to explain." ”

The old man said: "The culture in this tea is big, you just look at my teacup, the doorway is big - this kind of teacup is in triplicate, there is a tray under it, there is a bowl, and the lid is on the top." Gaiwan tea is also known as "Sancai bowl". The three talents, heaven, earth, and man. The tea cover is on the top, which is called "heaven", the tea saucer is below, which is called "earth", and the tea bowl is in the center, which is for "people". A pair of tea sets will contain a small world, a small universe, containing the ancient philosopher's "heaven covers, earth contains, people educate" truth. ”

Li Qifeng nodded emphatically, carefully studied the teacup, and said slowly: "It's really like that." ”

The old man couldn't help laughing and said, "There are more philosophies in this, I won't give you any more, you wait a while, and have a good taste of my tea." ”

Li Qifeng nodded and said, "Okay." ”

——

I don't know when, the child has climbed onto the table with a full belly, and watched the old man make tea meticulously.

After a long time.

The old man made tea.

Only a small cup.

There was a hint of eagerness in the child's expression, and he said, "Grandpa, let me drink this fire." The old man glanced at his grandson and said, "Okay." ”

The child's expression suddenly showed a hint of a smile, picked up the teacup, gave half to Li Qifeng, and said: "Big brother, it's rude, I ate a little too much, and my stomach is too oily." ”

Li Qifeng smiled and said, "Drink—"

The child slowly took a sip of tea, his expression suddenly became exciting, endured it for a long time, and then swallowed the tea he drank.

"Grandpa...... It's so unpleasant. ”

The old man said as a matter of course: "Of course, that is the waste tea I am going to discard, and it is the top layer of the tea leaves...... Since you're going to rush to drink, then don't waste it. ”

There was a wry smile on the child's face, and he poured the tea cleanly.

A moment later.

A new round of tea has been brewed.

The old man slowly pushed in front of Li Qifeng and said, "Take a sip of it, don't spoil the heavens." Li Qifeng nodded.

Taking a deep breath, the strong smell of tea suddenly made him intoxicated.
