A screen depicting a Wuchang water scene, with green waves and lush shades, a small boat drifting away, traveling a thousand miles overnight.
The boiling tea in the bowl seemed to bring a jade toad to life. Su Hongtao bowed his head, blew gently, and said slowly, "Incense Master Chu, there's no one here, feel free to have a taste of the tea."
