The sea chaser

Tang Hao received the blue crab that he almost stabbed to death. After giving the Chinese Splendid Lobster a meal, he continued to drive to the sea, while in a quaint courtyard, Wu Xian was carrying a gift and came to visit.

"Xiao Wu, come here as soon as you come! What other gifts are you bringing? What is this for?" An old man in a modified Tang suit seemed to say slightly unhappy.

Wu Xian, dressed casually and formal, smiled and delivered the two boxes of tea leaves in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, did I find two boxes of good tea? Have you brought them here? If you don’t want them Isn’t this a waste of these two boxes of good tea?"

"Hahaha..." The old man in Tang suit smiled and raised his hand to nod Wu Xian, and said: "You kid! I've said this to you. If I don't accept it, it will not give you face, right?"

"Teacher Li, you laughed! You accept it, it's fancy kid, you don't accept it, it's your principle!" Wu Xian replied with a smile.

The old man in Tang costume gave him a helpless look and shouted into the house: "Xiao Liu, come here, put things in the house, and make another pot of tea!"

When Wu Xian saw this scene, the smile on his face grew thicker.

The old man in the Tang costume smiled and led Wu Xian into the house. After the two sat down, the old man in the Tang costume smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, are you here to remind the construction schedule?"

Wu Xian smiled slightly, not too embarrassed, and said directly: "Mr. Li, I really want to urge you this time. My elder's birthday is coming soon. I want to know how your progress is. !"

The old man in Tang costume liked Wu Xian's honesty. If Wu Xian talked about him, he would be a little unhappy.

"This is not in a hurry! Let's drink tea later and talk about it slowly!" The old man in Tang suit seemed to want to sell it off.

Wu Xian nodded when he heard the words and began to chat with the old man.

Just now, Xiao Liu, who was called by the old man in Tang costume, came up with a tray with a set of tea sets in it. After putting the tea set down, he left. Then Wu Xian's eyes were firmly locked on the tea set on the table.

"Ms. Li, this..."

"Drink tea!" The old man in Tang suit smiled and raised the teapot to pour a cup of tea for Wu Xian, and said with a smile on his face.

Wu Xian swallowed his saliva, secretly suppressing the surprise in his heart, holding the celadon teacup, and leaning toward his mouth.

"what!"

After being scalded by the hot tea, Wu Xian took his eyes off the teapot on the table.

"Xiao Wu, I can't drink hot tea if I am anxious!" The old man in Tang suit said with a smile. For Wu Xian's state, his heart is indeed very happy.

Wu Xian condensed his mind, he hehe smiled, and there was no embarrassment on his face.

Wu Xian slowly tasted the tea in the cool celadon. After the tea was taken, Wu Xian's face changed slightly. He raised his eyes to look at the old man in Tang suit.

"It seems that you have tasted it!" The old man in Tang suit drank the tea in the celadon teacup with a smile, slowly put down the celadon in his hand, and prepared to elaborate.

"The bamboo you brought over, I have never seen it in my life! Speaking of it, I am also a person who has dealt with bamboo and wood for a lifetime. I didn't expect to encounter such a new thing at this age!" The old man in Tang suit seemed a little emotional. Said.

The surname of the old man in Tang costume is Li, and his name is Zhengping. Speaking of his name, there may not be much surprise, but if you put on the title of'national master of arts and crafts' in front of this name, it will be valuable!

Li Zhengping is sixty-eight years old this year. He has basically passed the peak of craftsmanship and almost no longer accepts commissions. Normally, he will guide and instruct students, and his life is plain and fulfilling.

The little Liu who served the tea and handed water, if there were no accidents, many years later, he might also have the title of'national master of arts and crafts' in front of his name!

Speaking of which, Wu Xian and Li Zhengping’s acquaintance was just a coincidence.Back then, Wu Xian happened to help Li Zhengping, who was ill, and the two had an intersection. At first, Wu Xian didn’t think what the old man was like. He just thought of helping an ordinary old man. Later, he learned of Li Zhengping’s identity. Wu Xian also calmed down his mind and didn't want to get anything from Li Zhengping. During the New Year and New Year holidays, Wu Xian would also give a small gift. It was not expensive and rude, but kept in touch.

Li Zhengping first thought that Wu Xian was so plain, and he had some thoughts about Wu Xian, but after one or two years passed, he really liked Wu Xian's temperament a little bit. The meaning of year-end pay.

Back to the topic, Li Zhengping was in a state of retreat from the mountain. Most people begged him to make something, but he would tactfully push it away. But some time ago, Wu Xian asked him to make a bamboo tea set, saying that he would give it to the elders at home. After learning about Wu Xian's filial piety, Li Zhengping was willing to satisfy his little friend's wish.

I thought it was a trivial matter, but when Wu Xian personally delivered the raw materials, Li Zhengping couldn't sit still. The green bamboo Wu Xian delivered was never seen before, and it was as tough as a stone. .

Li Zhengping, who was delighted to see the material, also ignited an enthusiasm in his heart. The wages and other things were directly waived, but a lot of green bamboo materials were needed.

No, when he made tea sets for Wu Xian, he had already made himself a green bamboo teapot.

"If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely get a perfect tea set, but now that I'm not old enough, I don't have the energy, so I can only let Xiao Liu do it!"

Li Zhengping meant something, Wu Xian smiled, and didn't talk to him. Li Zhengping paved the way for his apprentice, which is understandable.

"But the tea made from this teapot is really good! The aroma of the tea is mostly preserved and the fragrance of bamboo is also very rare!" Li Zhengping picked up the tea Wu Xian had added to him and took a sip. Some sighed.

Wu Xian said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are all a master of arts and crafts, why not make your pot sculpture look better?"

"The road is simple! Primitive things can better reflect the beauty of nature! Besides, I am an old man. What do I want that pleasing teapot for? Drink tea!"

Wu Xian smiled and drank tea. Teacher Li's realm was a bit too late, but he still felt finely carved and more comfortable to watch.

"But what you want, I still took a bit of thought. It's me and not me, Xiao Wu, don't you mind?" After Li Zhengping finished his tea, he finally brought the topic back to the purpose of Wu Xian's arrival. on.

Wu Xian immediately shook his head. When he took over this green bamboo, he also did experiments to verify Tang Hao's words. After a stab, there was only a shallow knife mark on the surface of the green bamboo, but his hands were a little numb.

At Li Zhengping's current age, Wu Xian can't expect others to work hard for him, right?As long as Li Zhengping is instructed and has performed the knife himself, that is also Li Zhengping's work!

"Oh, people are getting old, it's a bit useless after all!" Wu Xian shook his head, but did not relieve Li Zhengping much, on the contrary, there was a sense of loneliness lamenting the absence of time.

"Mr. Li..." Wu Xian wanted to give some comfort, but Li Zhengping raised his hand to stop him.

"Xiao Liu, bring things here!" Li Zhengping shouted outside.

There was an answer from outside, and before long, Li Zhengping's apprentice Xiao Liu came into the house carrying a bamboo box. Li Zhengping's apprentice didn't seem to like talking too much, and after nodding to Li Zhengping, he walked out.

Li Zhengping smiled and said to Wu Xian: "Come, take a look! This tea set should be able to be used as a gift for your parents."

Wu Xian wanted to flatter a few words, but it was a bit unpleasant to flatter it first when he thought of not seeing something.

He nodded, got up and opened the box.

At this look, I can't look away a little!
