Chapter 167

Zisha teapot was first produced in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, so it is often directly called Yixing Zisha teapot.

But in fact, Zisha teapots are not unique to Yixing.However, Yixing Zisha teapot is the most famous.

And Gongchun was the first person to make the purple clay teapot famous.

According to legend, Gongchun was the book boy of an official in the Ming Dynasty.When he followed his master to study in Jinsha Temple in Yixing, there was a monk in the temple who could make purple clay pots, so he followed him quietly, and eventually became a generation of master pot makers.

One of the characteristics of Gongchun teapot is that it imitates the natural shape of the teapot.

For example, the purple sand pot in front of Chu Ning is made of imitation tree galls, which is a very famous spring tree gall pot.

Back then, the Gongchun pot became famous in one fell swoop, thanks to the uniqueness of this tree gall pot.

The spring tree gall pot looks like it is made of natural tree galls, and its shape is similar to that of ginkgo trees.The body of the pot is flat, and the surface is even more uneven, covered with tree gall patterns. In the eyes of people, one can clearly feel a return to nature.

In modern times, there is only one well-known gall pot for spring trees, and it is still collected in the Capital Museum, which shows its preciousness.

At first, Chu Ning couldn't quite believe that she would suddenly see the legendary Zisha Gongchun teapot at Master Duchen's place, but the teapot in front of her was exactly the same as the Zisha Gongchun teapot in the rumors no matter from which aspect it came from!
Although it is inconvenient to pick up the purple clay pot and look it over carefully, and I don't know what the inscription on the purple clay pot is, but the first thing Chu Ning thinks of is the spring pot.

Coupled with the origin of Gongchun and the temple, as well as Master Duchen's transcendent status in Leiguang Temple, Chu Ning made a bold guess!
"No way, this is a spring offering pot?!" Meng Dongyue was taken aback, and yelled, "Little Junior Sister, you can't be mistaken, right?!"

As a student of antiques, Meng Dongyue also knows how rare the spring pot is.

He believes that Master Duchen, who has friendship with his master, will definitely have a lot of good things in his hands, but this is a spring pot!

Just hearing the name gave him an incredible feeling.

Chu Ning was not angry, but just smiled and said, "I'm not mistaken, I have to ask Master Duchen to clarify for us."

Meng Dongyue immediately looked at Master Du Chen, blinking his eyes, like a middle school student waiting for the teacher to announce the final grades.

Master Du Chen said with a smile: "Benefactor Chu's family has a long history, and it's just a teapot. Naturally, it can't help Donor Chu. The two benefactors have worked hard all the way up the mountain. Let's drink some tea first. This tea is picked from the tea tree planted by the poor monk himself. However, the water is the spring water in the mountains, although it is a little rough, I hope the two benefactors will not dislike it."

Although Master Duchen did not directly affirm Chu Ning's appraisal, the meaning in his words was clearly that!
In other words, the teapot in front of them is really a famous spring offering pot!
Meng Dongyue was stunned!

Even the teapot that Master Duchen used to make tea is a precious spring offering pot. In this Leiguang Temple, how many other rare objects are there that they don't know about? !
Although he knew that Leiguang Temple had always been very popular, he didn't expect that Leiguang Temple was still an invisible local tyrant!

Chu Ning didn't think so much.

Knowing that she was not wrong in the identification, Chu Ning was relieved, but at the same time, she focused more on Master Duchen's tea.

Even if it is not a famous tea, it would definitely not be easy for Master Du Chen to brew in a spring pot!
"Master, you are welcome."

Chu Ning smiled, and picked up the cup of tea in front of her.

The teapot for making tea is not simple, and the teacup for drinking tea in her hand is also not simple.

The teacup in Chu Ning's hand is obviously also a kind of purple sand tea set, and it is the same set as the spring tree gall pot on the table.

Zisha tea sets are made of purple clay ore, which is composed of three basic clays: purple clay, green clay and red clay.This kind of ore-soil structure makes the purple sand tea set completely different from other ordinary tea sets after it is made, and can absorb the aroma, color and taste of tea.

Therefore, the longer the purple sand tea set is used, the more mellow the tea will be.

Of course, because of the characteristics of the purple sand tea set, it is best to make only one kind of tea from the beginning to the end of the same set of purple sand tea set.

Otherwise, the tea leaves will lose their taste, which will eventually affect the final tea.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in Zisha teapots that "one pot does not serve two teas".

Master Du Chen said that the tea he brewed was grown by himself, that is to say, this spring teapot in front of him has been brewing this kind of tea all the time?

The spring offering pot has been handed down for a long time, no matter how old Master Duchen is, it is impossible for him to be the first owner of this spring offering pot...

Then how much effort will the old man have to spend to change the taste of tea in this spring pot? !
Chu Ningguang felt exhausted just thinking about it, and she also admired Master Duchen's perseverance.

Before she knew it, she had already taken a sip of tea.

As soon as the tea was in her mouth, Chu Ning felt a faint fragrance.

This kind of fragrance is indescribable, it is not the fragrance that everyone can usually come into contact with, the taste is very light, but it is particularly long-lasting, lingering on the lips and tongue, and cannot be dissipated for a long time.

Not only that, this aroma also has a slight mellow taste, which should be related to the quality of the water, making the tea more refreshing.

The tea slides down the throat, making people feel that the fragrance is also flowing down the throat, spreading to every corner of the body, making people feel comfortable from head to toe, and even has a crispy feeling. Feel.

Chu Ning's eyes widened, unable to recover for a while.

This is no ordinary tea, it is simply the dew of the world!

Master Duchen's words just now were too modest!
Chu stared at the tea in his hand, and wanted to take another sip, but was afraid that it would be gone after drinking it, so he hesitated for a while, and the expression on his face was also extremely exciting.

Looking at her expression, Meng Dongyue felt strange. Thirsty, he grabbed the teacup and drank the tea in it in one gulp.In the next second, Meng Dongyue showed the same silly expression as Chu Ning, even more silly than Chu Ning.

OMG!

Is this really the "rough tea" that Master Duchen said? !If this is considered crude, then the high-grade tea he usually drinks is picked up from the garbage dump? !
Meng Dongyue suddenly remembered that there was such a small pot of tea in his master's study.

However, he has never seen what the tea inside looks like.

The usually generous master never allowed him to touch that little jar.

Thinking about it now, with the relationship between the master and Master Duchen, the master must be able to order this kind of godlike tea from Master Duchen, right?
Maybe, that small jar that he had never touched before contained this kind of tea!
