Chapter 21: My Tea Ceremony

"Well, that's a good point. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sen no Rikyu also said coldly.

After a while, Muri Takayu came to the front of the tea room with a tray. The whole sect of Enryakuji took the tray in, but Takayu Musato still retreated.

Everyone saw that a tray was sent in, the tray was still very large, and they just vaguely saw a few things on it, so everyone was curious, what the hell is Kuroda Vocational High School going to do.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are a few famous teas that I brought back from the Ming Kingdom, and I hope to taste them with you." Kuroda said with a smile.

At the same time, there was also a set of celadon tea sets bought by the Ming Kingdom.

Kuroda Vocational High School first picked up a small box, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Longjing tea purchased from the coastal area of the Ming Kingdom, and it is the best among green teas. ”

After saying that, Kuroda put the tea leaves into the teapot with the tea drain, because he had often drunk tea in his previous life, so he was able to grasp the water temperature of about 80 degrees, and when the water temperature was suitable, he first washed the tea, poured out the tea foam to be gently wiped off, poured out the tea, and rinsed the tea set.

According to the "high and low pouring", it is said that the tea is brewed and the tea is poured, and then the "Guan Gong patrols the city", the tea soup is sprinkled into the teacup in turn, and so on two or three times to gradually fill each teacup.

In fact, what Kuroda Vocational High School didn't know was that this was the kung fu tea in the coastal areas of Liangguang and Fujian in later generations. Although it spread to the whole country in later generations because of the Fujian people doing business, it did not represent the tea ceremony of the Celestial Empire. But who blames Kuroda Vocational High School for only knowing this kind of tea ceremony of the Celestial Empire, so he can only bite the bullet.

"The tea ceremony of the Celestial Dynasty has been relatively simplified until now, and it is mainly the enjoyment that comes from tasting the tea itself, so it is almost the same name as your tea ceremony. Come on, everyone, try whether the tea of the Ming Kingdom is comparable to the tea foam. Kuroda made a gesture of please to those present.

In the end, the whole sect of Enryakuji Temple was the first to pick up a Ming tea bowl, gently uncovered the lid, he smelled a mellow fragrance, and then looked at the brown, the leaf green soup was clear, it was simply an intoxicating color! It's a little better than that rich green.

After blowing the air, the whole sect of Enryakuji Temple took a sip gently, the water temperature was not so hot anymore, and when it was held in the mouth, the feeling of being bitter first and then sweet really couldn't be dissipated for a long time.

"It's incredible." Enryakuji Quan Zong said suddenly, and after speaking, he quickly took another sip, slowly drank all the hot tea, closed his eyes, and nodded.

If someone else said this, it is estimated that everyone here would believe it, but after all, the entire sect of Enryakuji Temple is the hand of Kuroda's professional high school, so everyone is still a little hesitant about what he said.

At this time, Yodoya Tsuneya, who had just been the first to release his kindness, knelt down and moved to the side of the Enryakuji Temple, nodded to Kuroda's high school, and then picked up a tea bowl and took a sip. Then Yodoya Tsunean closed his eyes and slowly felt the changes in his mouth

"This beautiful and sweet taste can't be dissipated in the mouth for a long time, it's really evocative." After Yodoya Tsunean opened his eyes, he said to everyone in disbelief.

"It's really a long aftertaste!" Nakata Zongjie also picked up a tea bowl and drank it at this time.

Everyone is a tea lover, and they can't help the temptation to come forward to taste this superb Mingguo tea.

When Imai Munehisa, Tsuda Mune, and the two wanted to come forward to taste the tea, they found that the tea bowl was not enough, so they had to take the tea bowl of the person next to them, pour a small cup of tea, taste it carefully, and then sigh and nod incessantly.

Seeing that they were all like this, and Sen no Rikyu also thought about it, Kuroda Vocational High had already paid attention to his movements, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Everyone, this is the first tea, and I will now introduce you to the second tea, white tea." ”

"White tea, what kind of tea is white tea?" "Yes! I only seem to know about this green tea! "Haven't heard of it"

"The white tea has a light taste and is far away, but because it needs to be prepared again, you still need to wait patiently." Kuroda said.

"Hey!" "We've waited" "I'm looking forward to it!" ”

Sen no Rikyu snorted slightly angrily.

After that, Kuroda Vocational High School introduced and tasted white tea, black tea, green tea, yellow tea and flower tea for everyone, but unfortunately I couldn't buy Pu'er black tea in the mainland this time, which is also a pity!

After tasting all the teas, Kuroda said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Celestial Empire has harmony and differences, which means that there can be different places, but it is necessary to coexist peacefully with each other, and this is the tolerance of Chinese culture. ”

"Harmony and difference?" Sen no Rikyu asked proactively.

"Yes, I admit that the tea ceremony of our country does have many things that can be called art. But you must know, ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing perfect in this world, whether it is the Chinese tea ceremony or the Wa national tea ceremony, both have their advantages and undesirables. But we should have this idea of harmony and difference. For example, I greatly admire the culture of the Central Plains. However, I also know that the culture of the Central Plains also has its own inappropriateness. Therefore, in the following article, in addition to teaching you about the tea ceremony, I would like to explain to you some of my own understandings. Kuroda said with a smile.

"It's a good harmony but a difference, and I already understand what Kuroda-sama means. I must apologize to Kuroda-sama for being prejudiced against you because I didn't know much about your tea ceremony before, and now I'm here to apologize to you. Sen no Rikyu said to Kuroda Vocational High School.

"There is no need for this, Sen no Rikyu-sama is the best tea man in the world, and I have actually admired my lord for a long time, and I have a lot of offenses in my lower part this time, so please forgive me for my inappropriate words." Kuroda said to Sen no Rikyu.

Although it was a little unpleasant at first, in the end, through the concept of Kuroda Vocational High School's stealing change, the dispute over the tea ceremony was led to cultural inclusiveness, which not only avoided his own embarrassment. At the same time, it also allowed these big businessmen to understand the Chinese tea culture and know the differences between several types of tea in the Celestial Empire.

The most important thing is that after these big businessmen know the difference in the tea shipped from the Central Plains, these merchants also know the deliciousness of the Central Plains tea, and in the future, they will have to go to the Kuroda family's trading house, the only one who can buy the Central Plains tea, to buy tea, which can be regarded as a means of sales!

After that, everyone just talked about nature, and the tea party ended. It turned out that it was to correct his understanding of the tea ceremony, but Kuroda Vocational High School found out later, and I thought it was for some other purpose! It seems that these persistent people, if they go crazy, it will be very terrifying! (To be continued.) )
