Chapter 77: Admit defeat!

We often say that water and fire are incompatible, but in tea ceremony techniques, only when water and fire are coordinated properly and harmoniously unified can they exert their greatest power.

The water in the copper stove is boiling, bubbling and gurgling.

Qin Yitian left his seat, walked over and opened the lid of the copper pot and carefully observed the boiling water in the pot.

When it boils, it boils like fish eyes and makes a slight sound.

When it boils twice, its edge is like a gushing spring.

Three boils, vine waves and drum waves.

After the third boil, Qin Yitian immediately lifted the handle of the pot and kept the copper pot away from the charcoal fire.

The copper kettle is very big, but when Qin Yitian lifted it, it felt like she was effortlessly and lightly. This woman is really capable of playing the role of a fresh and tough man.

"Seal the furnace." Qin Yitian said.

The boys from Class 9 behind him immediately sealed the mouth of the furnace with a piece of iron, and then several people carried the carbon furnace away again.

The degree of boiling of the water for ordering tea is the key to the success or failure of ordering tea.

If the sprouts are hairy, you will naturally need to use boiling water with a lower concentration to avoid damaging the leaf quality and destroying the taste.

But the tea we are fighting for today is aged Pu'er tea, so the water used needs to be boiled three times.

It is also recorded in the "Tea Classic" that tea should be cooked when the water has just boiled for three times. If it continues to boil, the water will become old and inedible.

Qin Yitian poured the water from the copper pot into the cup and rinsed it. This was called Ji Zhan. If the tea cup is heated and cooled, the tea will not float.

There was a small teapot on the coffee table in front of her, but Qin Yitian did not pour the water from the copper pot into the small pot for easy use. Because she knew that once the water was poured, the boiling water would come into contact with the air one more time. Changing the vessel one more time would mean

There may be an additional flavor added. The temperature and quality of the water will change slightly.

She is like a jade lady, with slender jade hands, but she is carrying a simple copper pot that weighs more than ten kilograms. This scene makes people feel weird and beautiful at the same time.

The most amazing thing is that she holds the pot with one hand and pours boiling water into the tea cup without even a drop of water spraying out. This alone is not something ordinary people can do.

According to Fang Yan's idea, Qin Yitian should wait for a while. First, wait for the players from the Wuren inspection team to brew the tea, have everyone taste it one by one, and then praise it greatly.

Until this time, Qin Yicai performed the tea ceremony with quick hands and feet, and presented the tea soup that he carefully brewed in front of everyone. Just smelling the fragrance, he was already intoxicated. When he took a sip, he felt that this tea could only exist in heaven and on earth.

I heard about it several times. So Qin Yitian was superior in skills and became the champion of this tea fight.

Suppress it first and then lift it up, letting everyone's mood soar from the bottom to the top.

Let everyone be anxious first, and then surprise everyone. In this way, the surprise will be more memorable.

Besides, in any competition, don’t latecomers take advantage?

After drinking tea from future generations, do you still remember clearly what the previous cup of tea tasted like?

Unless the taste of the two cups of tea is very different, if they are of the same quality, then the second cup of tea is definitely cheaper.

However, Qin Yitian obviously did not understand the painstaking efforts of Teacher Fang Yan and did not play according to the routine set by Teacher Fang Yan. She had no intention of waiting for her opponent.

After the water boils, you clean the utensils, wait for the water, and pour the cup. A series of actions are like flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.

Then take the tea, place the tea cake on a piece of white silk, break it into pieces carefully, and remove all the coarse leaves and fine foam. Only at this time do you put the priority tea leaves into the pot.

Handle it with care and do not let tea leaves clog the spout.

Pour tea into a portable copper pot, shake it three times, and then pour the tea out immediately. This is called tea washing.

After washing the tea, you can make tea. Making tea is the most important step. Do not pour directly into the center of the pot. First brew one corner, and then rinse all corners. Raise the spout of the copper kettle, and strictly follow the principle of high brewing and low sprinkling. High brewing

The boiling water can powerfully impact the tea leaves, making the tea aroma and tea essence evaporate faster, while the tannins have no time to dissolve, so the tea soup is sweet but not astringent.

The water must be filled up. Whether the teapot is "three mountains in one", it is very important to show your skill at this time. I saw Qin Yitian's expression was leisurely, but his eyes were serious. The tea quickly filled the teapot, and the tea foam floated, but did not overflow at all. He had the style of a master.

.

After completing this tedious but necessary process, close the lid and pour boiling water on the pot. This is called pouring the pot.

After scalding the cup, you can serve the guests with tea.

Qin Yitian only poured four cups out of a pot of tea.

He flicked his long sleeves and said, "Please."

Lu Chaoge walked over, picked up a cup of tea and tasted it carefully.

Matsushima Nori also came over, picked up the second cup of tea and looked at the color of the tea.

Duan Youjun let out a long sigh, walked to Lu Chaoge and bowed deeply, then carefully picked up the third cup of tea.

Qin Yitian picked up the fourth cup of tea, took the initiative to bring it to Fang Yan, and said with a smile: "Fang Yan, this cup of tea is for you."

"You guy-----" Fang Yan said pretending to be angry, but he was happy in his heart. Look, look, there are only four cups of tea. Except for the three judges, Qin Yitian didn't give it to anyone. He didn't give it to anyone.

The vice-principal, not the dean of students, not the head of the language group, just brought the tea to himself.

What kind of behavior is this? Respect teachers and moral principles.

What does this mean? It means that you, as a teacher, are qualified, outstanding, and respected by your students.

Fang Yan took the tea, tasted it carefully, and said, "Good tea."

Qin Yitian's tea ceremony performance was finished, and the tea was already in his hand. Therefore, the three judges naturally needed to give some evaluation.

After Lu Chaoge drank a cup of tea, he carefully felt the sweet and moist feeling in his throat, and first said: "I don't understand tea. But I still know that this is good tea. Good tea, good water and good tea ceremony are amazing."

Matsushima Ji held the tea soup and first smelled its aroma and then looked at its color. Then he tasted it in small sips and said: "The soup is green and white in color, and the flowers are fine and even. This is high-quality tea."

The tea color is whiter, and the blue-white color is better than the yellow-white color. The soup flower needs to be thin and well-proportioned, like cold porridge noodles. If you can bite the edge of the cup tightly and keep it together for a long time, this effect will be best. It is called "biting the cup".

Nori Matsushima also likes to drink tea, and she also has a little research on the art of tea. It is precisely because of this that she knows how perfect and profound the tea ceremony skills of the girl in front of her are.

Without more than ten years of immersion, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reach this level of a master, right?

Duan Youjun only drank half of the cup of tea in his hand, and hesitated to part with the other half, praising: "The tea fairy is reincarnated. The tea fairy is reincarnated. After seeing this tea ceremony today, I will never fight with others for tea again. I am so ashamed. I am so ashamed."

While everyone was appreciating the tea brewed by Qin Yitian, Qianye Xun's tea ceremony performance had just reached the stage of making tea with "high pouring and low pouring".

Her face was expressionless and her mind was calm. She only focused on the action at hand and was completely uninterrupted by external factors.

Even when Qin Yitian brought tea soup to Fang Yan, she never looked at it distractedly. It seemed that everything around her had nothing to do with her.

The heart is tea, and the tea is the heart. The heart is in harmony with tea, completely forgetting myself.

There were four teacups placed on each tea tray, but Chiba Kaoru only chose one of them to iron the cup.

After scalding the cup, sprinkle the tea in honor of the guests.

Qianye Xun picked up the only cup of tea in front of him, walked up to Qin Yitian, and said, "This cup of tea represents my respect. Please accept it."

Qin Yitian looked at Qianye Xun thoughtfully. It was only at this moment that she truly began to respect this girl from Japan.

"Kaoru Chiba, hurry up and send a cup to each judge." Saburo Fujino urged urgently. What's wrong with this kid? The judges haven't drunk tea yet, how can they give tea to their opponents first? Besides,

, the judges have not tasted your tea, how can they know how beautiful and moving your tea soup is?

Chiba Kaoru did not answer Fujino Saburo's question, and her beautiful eyes stared unblinking at Qin Yitian, who was standing in front of her and was a head taller than her.

Qin Yitian picked up the tea and tasted it carefully, taking a shallow sip, a second deep sip, and drank the third sip directly.

She looked at Qianye Xun and said softly: "Good tea."

"Thank you." Qianye Xun's tight little face suddenly relaxed. She bowed ninety degrees to Qin Yitian and said with great gratitude: "Thank you."

Fujino Saburo didn't care about being reserved, and quickly ran to Chiba Kaoru, grabbed Chiba Kaoru's shoulders, and shouted: "Chiba Kaoru, what are you doing? Do you know what you are doing? How can you do this?

?How can you give up? Do you know that you are giving up not only yourself----but also us, our Takehito's pride, and our Dongyang's face----how can you give up?"

Kaoru Chiba turned to look at Saburo Fujino, with a sweet smile on his face, and said: "Teacher Fujino, I lost. I lost my mind, my aura, and who else's confidence -

----She is perfect, and all her performances are impeccable. I thought that as long as I waited a little longer, I would be able to find flaws. But, from beginning to end, she never gave me any chance."

Qianye Xun also thought that Qin Yitian would wait.

Qin Yitian waited for him to make good tea first, and then she came to overtake him.

She thought Qin Yitian would do this. Don't people all have this mentality?

Her movements lagged behind Qin Yitian's, both because she had to boil the water again and also because she had a knot in her mind - she wanted to be the final winner.

Why does she think so? Why does she do this? In the final analysis, she still doesn’t have enough confidence in herself. You have no confidence in yourself, and you have no confidence in your own tea. Without the spirit of tea, how can you win over others?

However, Qin Yitian did not do that.

She doesn't argue or wait, she's simple and direct.

She goes her own way and doesn't care.

She disdains conspiracies and does not want to engage in scheming. She just does herself. She does her best and she does herself to the extreme.

She is Qin Yitian, and she believes that she will win.

Such an opponent easily convinced her and deserved her respect.

Chiba Kaoru's expression was smiling, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Teacher, let me admit defeat." Chiba Kaoru said with a choked voice. "At least this looks more dignified."
