C242 Unexpected guest (1/2)
Therefore, through Fu An, Huang Guowei wanted to meet Chen Yufan.
At the same time, Chen Yufan also received Fu An's message. Chen Yufan had already made preparations to meet the president of the Jiangnan Merchant Guild. After all, he had already promised others, so he couldn't break off his promise. Otherwise, it would not be good to give Fu An an explanation. Thus, on this day, after pushing everything aside, Chen Yufan followed Fu An to a quiet and elegant tea house in the Jin Ling.
In his middle age age, a coffee shop did not fit Huang Guowei's personality very well, it was the teahouse that was more practical. It also matched the calm temperament of the president of Jiangnan Merchant Guild. It didn't look too frivolous.
The Clear Wind Tea House was a tea house with a hundred years of history. Even the shopkeeper had inherited it and it was already the fifth generation. The entire teahouse was filled with old people, all of whom were discussing the Dao of Dao while sipping tea. In the silence of the teahouse, whispers could occasionally be heard.
The four walls of the teahouse had an antique charm to it. It still retained the traditions of the Ming Dynasty. The one in the hall was still dressed in white, with a towel over his shoulder. When he saw Fu An and Chen Yufan, he immediately said: ”Come here, please come in, I'll have a cup of tea with you two!” Pulling his voice into such a state made Chen Yufan a little unaccustomed to it.
The wooden floor, the mahogany coffee table, they all looked to be aged. Being in it was like not being in a modern society. Chen Yufan laughed blandly, stroking his own bangs, ”I really am a little suspicious of this place, perhaps this era is not right!”
Fu An also laughed and said, ”The Pure Wind Tea House is an old tea house that has existed for a hundred years. Everything here is just like what happened in the Ming Kingdom, there is no need to be surprised!”
The two of them continued to pace up and down, and soon arrived at the second floor. On the second floor, there was a seat near the window. The ancient wooden window was open and was being poured in by the cool breeze. Seeing the young man behind Fu An and the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man stood up and cupped his hands: ”Brother Fu An, we haven't seen each other for some time!”
Seemingly influenced by the classical scent of the teahouse, Huang Guowei started to sound ancient. As he spoke, he continuously used his eyes to size up the young man behind Fu An. As he was astonished, his face revealed a trace of disagreement.
Although he had seen the newspapers and magazines about Chen Yufan in the Jin Ling City, he still stubbornly believed that it was only the work of this young man. After all, in this era, as long as one had money, regardless of whether it was real or fake, the newspapers would all rush to publish it. This was the so-called hype economy. If he wanted to, he could make the newspaper praise him for being heartless by giving him some money. This is not surprising.
Ever since Mr King's announcement in Hong Kong and the end of the literary era, media guidance has now come to terms with a kind of market and economy. No longer was he a man of steel, he no longer had the bearing of a scholar. What came out was the merchant's stench of copper. This point, even Huang Guowei, who was in the business world, was shameless.
Fu An looked at Huang Guowei, then cupped his hands together and said, ”Brother Huang, long time no see, brother is still brimming with energy and vitality, truly a cause for celebration!”
The three of them ignored the strange looks around them and sat down by the window. Huang Guowei modestly handed over the tea order to Fu An, while Fu An smiled faintly and said: ”National Wei, you and I brothers don't need to stand on ceremony, let's just follow the rules! A pot of new tea, Tie Guanyin, how about it? ”
Huang Guowei chuckled and said: ”I will listen to Big Brother's instructions!”
After whispering with the black-clothed man at their side for a while, they quickly left to do what they needed to do. Tie Guanyin, who was in top of the pot, was also brought over. There were also three exquisite ceramic cups. It was obvious that they were the products of Ming Kingdom. Chen Yufan smacked his lips and laughed: ”This Clear Wind Tea House is indeed luxurious. A room full of antiques, even cups, are all top grade Ming Country's official kilns!”
Fu An was startled, although he was a businessman, he did not know how to do this. Huang Guowei had done a lot of research on this matter, and looked at the young man in pleasant surprise, and asked: ”I didn't expect the Dean Xiao Chen to have done research on this as well.”
Chen Yufan shook his hand, and said humbly: ”I understand, I understand slightly!”
As he said that, he picked up the teapot and started to pour the tea for Fu An and the others. After all, asking this Young Master Chen to pour him some tea was a heavenly blessing. However, Huang Guowei had a different thought in his mind, because this posture was too professional.
This was the most professional posture in the Way of Tea, causing Huang Guowei to be puzzled, how could such a young man understand the Way of Tea. After Chen Yufan finished pouring the tea, he carefully held the three cups up, stirred them, and poured the first cup of tea onto the stone to wash the tea, following which he maintained a very skilled posture.
Today, Huang Guowei was able to broaden his horizons, and laughed: ”Dean Xiao Chen is truly knowledgeable, I never thought that even the Way of Tea is so well versed!”
Chen Yufan was still smiling indifferently, his face showing a trace of elegance: ”It's just a hobby to have nothing to do, if Mr Huang likes it, we can exchange pointers more in the future. My family has the best red robe in the capital city, at that time Mr Huang can go and have some good stuff! ”
Huang Guowei chuckled and said, ”Definitely, definitely!”
