Ni Ran thought that when the owner of the teahouse said that he wanted to customize tea sets, he said it casually.So she left her phone number and address without much hope.In the past few years since the establishment of the studio, I have encountered all kinds of customers.

There are many customers who shop around, and there are also many people who place orders verbally.

Every order must be calm, so that emotions will not fluctuate.

Over the years, Ni Ran has taken these things very lightly.

But when the tea artist she particularly liked came to the studio yesterday and said straight to the point that their teahouse wanted to order a batch of tea sets, it was Ni Ran's turn to react.

"Can you accept customization?" Seeing that Ni Ran didn't reply, the other party asked cautiously.

"Of course you can." Ni Ran came back to his senses and replied readily.

"I see that you seem very surprised, and thought we were abrupt."

"No. I didn't expect you to come."

Ok?

Jiang Zhi didn't know why.

She said it was you, not you.

This made Jiang Shi want to think deeply, but he didn't dare to think deeply.

Ni Ran didn't hide it either, and just said it when she had something to say, "I waited for you all afternoon yesterday."

what?

Jiang Shi was surprised.

Ni Ran smiled to herself: "Because I want to drink another cup of tea you made, but you are so in demand, I didn't even get in line."

So this is ah.

Jiang Shi said, "Then do you still have tea sets here?"

Ni Ran almost blurted out: "Of course there is."

It's just that she doesn't use it often when she is alone in the studio, and occasionally when guests come, she will take it out and simply make a cup of tea.

Jiang Shi nodded to her: "Then trouble to learn..."

The word "Senior Sister" almost came out of her mouth, but she immediately changed her tone, "Well, that..."

"As for me, I just brought some tea suitable for summer drinking. I need Boss Lao Ni to help find the tea set."

So she is going to make tea for herself!

Ni Ran's eyes moved slightly, and his tone was very restrained: "There is no problem at all, just sit and wait for me, and I will find you right away."

Knowing that he was going to meet her, Jiang Shi didn't come empty-handed.

She prepared several kinds of tea suitable for drinking in summer, all of which she kept at home on weekdays.She bought a lot of small jars, which store new tea, old tea, and various scented teas.

Sometimes when resting at home or returning home from get off work, she would make a pot of tea.

Sitting on the big balcony of the house where she lived, watching the clouds and clouds.

That was where she felt most comfortable.

The place where she lives is also nearby.It was a real estate purchased by her teacher a long time ago and rented to her at the cheapest rent.Originally, the teacher said that it was enough to let her live, but Jiang Shi felt that if he charged some rent, she would live with more peace of mind.

To be honest, the teacher has already established a firm foothold in Mocheng.

It's not bad for her rent, but knowing Jiang Shi's temper, he just charged a few hundred yuan so that she can live comfortably.

When Jiang Shi went out, he was struggling with which kind of tea to bring.

Because I don't know which one she likes to drink, I simply brought out a small tea pot together, and brought her some of each.

Jiang Shi, who is now face to face with Ni Ran, does not seem to be able to hold his head up like he did when he met a month ago.She slowly found her own self-confidence, and she also has something that attracts her.

Coincidentally, what Jiang Shi is good at is what Ni Ran likes.

So she doesn't need to shrink back, just show herself in front of her openly.

Jiang Shi waited quietly for Ni Ran to come back, and she looked at the studio in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

Very simple and rustic, the decoration style is ancient and ancient, her works are placed on the solid wood shelves, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

Probably some kind of herbal medicine hanging on the wall.

Maybe it was mosquito repellent. Jiang Shi remembered that she had posted a post saying that she was most afraid of mosquitoes biting her when she was doing pottery.

If it's itchy, you can't pull your hand out to scratch it.

I can only shake my legs all the time.

……

Jiang Shi imagined her helpless appearance and couldn't help smiling.

At this time, Ni Ran just came back. Although Jiang Shi stopped laughing in time, she was still seen by her.She turned sideways and tilted her head: "Did you just smile?"

Jiang Shi didn't dare to look at her, and instinctively denied it: "No."

"Oh?"

Am I wrong?

Ni Ran was confused.

Jiang Shi said solemnly: "You may be dazzled."

Is it like this?

It must be so.

Jiang Shi was so determined that his expression did not change.

Ni Ran, who has always had a unique vision, also began to doubt herself.

I also thought, it's over, I have been completely attracted by the person in front of me.Dazzling and hallucinations began to appear.

Ni Ran explained seriously: "Next time if I get dazzled again, you must tell me directly."

Jiang Shi suppressed his smile: "Okay."

She didn't expect that the person she liked would have such a confused side.

After the explanation, Ni Ran slowly regained his state.She took out a beautiful tea set.The body of the cup is a cyan color that is similar to light green with a bit of gray, the glaze is smooth, the body of the cup is transparent, and there are light and just right cracks around it.

Jiang Shi stared at the set of cups. Seeing her interested, Ni Ran explained: "This crack is called 'open piece', which is unique to Ge Kiln. Ge Kiln is one of the famous kilns of Song Dynasty and Five Dynasties. The fired porcelain is also the most beautiful."

"It's the one mentioned in the textbook. I was poured cold water by my younger brother. I thought that the porcelain from a kiln would become a defective product, but in the end I found that the porcelain with cracks was unexpectedly beautiful."

"Yes."

"But that's just a legend. It is said in ancient documents that the brother kiln is dedicated to firing sliced ​​porcelain. The younger brother's kiln is a Longquan kiln, which burns Longquan celadon without slices. However, contemporary ancient ceramics researchers have discovered that in the Song Dynasty documents, only the word There are no records of Ge Kiln and Di Kiln. The stories that people know are gradually compiled from Yuan to Ming."

"Although the story is absurd, it also points out the key technical problem of porcelain cracking due to sudden cooling."

Jiang Shi nodded: "So that's the case."

Ni Ran put the tea set in front of her: "Yes. Isn't it interesting."

"Ah."

When Jiang Shi responded, he also took out a few small jars from the bag beside him.

After seeing it, Ni Ran said, "Your little pot is also pretty."

The body of Jiang Shi's small jar was slightly cracked, and the color was not as pretty as Ni Ran's tea set, but overall it was not bad.

It is used to hold tea, which is pleasing to the eye.

"I bought blindly online."

"It's okay, you can tell me what you want in the future. I will help you."

Jiang Shi has a feeling of being favored suddenly.

She smiled calmly: "Really?"

Ni Ran said boldly: "Never lie to Miss Sister."

Puchi.

Jiang Shi hadn't seen Ni Ran who was joking with her yet.

She imagined her as serious.

I didn't expect to get in touch in private, which is also very interesting.

Jiang Shi opened the small jar, raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Then I will have many, many, many things I want."

"Because I have a lot of tea leaves that need to be packed in jars."

Ni Ran took the words: "There is no problem at all, as much as you want, I can have as much as you want."

Jiang Shi's hand paused: "I will really take it seriously."

Ni Ran's eyes followed her face: "I didn't say polite words either. Whatever you want, just ask."

"mainly--"

"If you take my things, right, I can make tea with you in a legitimate way."

It turned out that she just liked the tea she made.

Jiang Shi stopped laughing.

Replied lightly: "Okay."

Then, she unhurriedly used the bamboo pods to take out several kinds of tea she had brought from the small pot.

The first one is rose tea.

Belonging to the type of scented tea, rose has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, clearing the heart and calming the Qi.In summer, when the temperature is high, it is easy to be irritable and irritable. Drinking rose tea can relieve the anger and relieve emotions, which can help treat insomnia and bipolar disorder.

"Is this rose tea?" Ni Ran asked.

Jiang Shihui: "Yes."

Ni Ran seems to have seen it in the supermarket, but the rose tea sold in the supermarket is obviously not as good-looking as Jiang Shi's in terms of color.

"This is picked and planted in our tea garden. After the roses are picked, they are properly spread out, the flower stalks and stamens are picked up, and the clean petals are used for scenting, that is, they are put in the basement. The way of scenting is different in different places. Similarly, in some places, a single cellar is used, and 100 kg can be used to extract 10 to 16 kg of finished products. But in some places, two cellars are used for one extraction, with a total flower volume of 100 kg, and 50 kg of finished products can be extracted.”①

"But sometimes it doesn't go so smoothly. It is also linked to the surrounding storage environment, humidity, temperature of the sealed space, and the flowers themselves. Every link can't go wrong."

"Wow, that sounds interesting."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Jiang Shi then took out the green tea.

Ni Ran also knew about this, she drank it most often.

"This green tea is a separate category of tea."

"Oh?"

"my country's tea is divided into green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, and black tea. As for scented tea, it is actually a reprocessed tea. What we see on the market is fruity tea. , and those containing tea beverages are all reprocessed teas.”

"So this is ah."

"As for green tea, it has strong astringency and is rich in amino acids. It can achieve the effect of relieving heat and cooling down, and it is even good for resisting computer radiation. Refreshing function."

"And chrysanthemum tea."

"Its effects include dispersing wind and clearing heat, clearing liver and improving eyesight, detoxifying and anti-inflammatory, and hair care and so on."

"And oolong tea."

"Its effect is..."

That day, Jiang Shi told Ni Ran about the several kinds of tea he brought, including their effects.She was also fascinated.In the past, she just drank tea and didn't know how to do it.

But with the popularization of Jiang Zhi, she began to gradually understand the story behind the tea.

She said: "Drink scented tea in spring, green tea in summer, green tea in autumn, and black tea in winter."

"However, we can still drink Pu'er tea in winter. Pu'er tea belongs to the category of black tea, which is abundant in the border of Yunnan. Pu'er tea is warm in nature and nourishes the stomach, so it is especially suitable for drinking in winter. And many people also drink Pu'er tea Drink it as a diet tea."

"Really."

"It's said in traditional Chinese medicine. Pu'er clears heat and promotes body fluids, eliminates filth and detoxification, relieves food and alcohol, refreshes the mind and clears rashes."

"Pu'er tea is beneficial to the respiratory system and can clean the respiratory tract. It can also promote blood circulation, promote the excretion of waste and toxic substances in the body, so as to maintain the natural balance of body functions. It can also prevent arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, reduce Stress, anti-aging."②

"In particular, it can reduce fat, remove stool, and reduce the absorption of poisons. It can purify the intestinal tract and maintain the stability of the intestinal flora. Isn't this a good weight loss plus a beauty treatment?"

Ni Ran was absorbed in listening, and it took a while to realize: "Wow, I want to drink after listening to it."

While making tea, Jiang Shi popularized it: "But girls are not suitable for drinking Pu'er tea before and after menstruation."

Ni Ran: "Why?"

Jiang Shi smiled: "Because women lack iron during menstruation, drinking more Pu'er tea will cause the body to fail to absorb iron."

Ni Ran sighed: "So that's the case, you know a lot."

In fact, you know quite a lot.

Jiang Shi returned in his heart.

Soon, Jiang Shi made a cup of tea.

Hold the cup in both hands, put it in front of her, and said with a smile: "Wuyou take a bowl and send it to tea lovers."

Tea culture and poetry are inseparable. Jiang Shi, a graduate of Chinese language and literature, made it with his own hands.

Choosing to major in Chinese language and literature at the beginning actually laid the foundation for her to learn tea culture. The intellectuality exuded from the inside out made her different from other girls in the teahouse.

She really likes it from the bottom of her heart.

The poem she said to Ni Ran just now comes from the last two lines of "Mountain Spring Tea with a Heart" by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.It means that, holding a bowl of tea in your hand, there is no need for any reason, just this emotion, and send it to those who love tea.

Ni Ran replied with a smile: "It's an honor."
