Li Yundong's categorical words made the people around him cheer up. Zi Yuan also nodded: "Yes, practitioners of our generation should indeed have the courage to fear hardships and dangers! As the saying goes, everything depends on people, and everything depends on God.
Now that you have entered the competition, you should have a clear conscience.≧ ”
Zhou Qin has a calm nature and a deep city. There was no emotion or anger on her face for a while. She just pondered for a while and said: "Since you are going to compete, you must pay special attention to the opponents such as West Lake Longjing, Taiping Houkui and Wuyi Dahongpao."
, these participating parties, whether they are tea or tea ladies, are extremely difficult opponents to deal with.
Ruan Hongling has blind confidence in Ziyuan. She said: "This is a competition of tea art, not a competition of tea leaves. If the one with the best tea leaves wins, then why should we hold such a competition? Wouldn't it be better to just hold an auction? Yes.
No, Sister Ziyuan!"
Ziyuan smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
The little girl Su Chan was at a loss for words. She just looked at this and that, feeling that she couldn't help, and she was very unhappy.
Li Yundong didn't pay attention to the little girl's abnormal behavior. He said to Ziyuan: "When you go on stage later, you must pay special attention to the surrounding environment. As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. You must beware of these
The guy messed with some equipment."
Ziyuan smiled heartily: "Don't worry."
A few people said a few words in private, and not long after, the host of the Tea Culture and Art Competition came onto the stage.
At this time, the square of the Cultural Palace was crowded with people. Not only were there a large number of media reporters, but also many merchants who came after hearing the news, but most of them were idle ghosts nearby who heard the news and came to see the beautiful women.
After the host made a brief opening statement on the stage, he invited the organizer Zheng Youming to come to the stage to give a speech. Zheng Youming still adhered to his authentic and mellow nouveau riche temperament. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he was wearing a glittering gold necklace, gold bracelet, and gold ring.
There was a burst of sighs in the audience.
After Zheng Youming read the opening remarks according to the script, he introduced the referees of this tea culture and art competition one by one on the stage. Li Yundong saw in the audience that among these referees who were sitting upright, there were literati who wrote books and well-known media
The hosts include shopping mall tycoons and even clothing models!
Li Yundong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and whispered: "What kind of referees are these? Why are there so many different people, including everyone? Do they know tea art?"
Zhou Qin said: "I don't know about the others, but Shen Wan knows. As far as I know, he often attends auctions of various rare teas. Not long ago, Taiping Houkui was auctioned off at a high price, and he was the one who bought it.
"
Li Yundong laughed heartily: "That's good! The only one who understands tea is my enemy. Very good!"
Li Yundong laughed at himself, and saw that representatives had already been sent up to draw numbers. When it was Ziyuan's turn, she came onto the stage Yingying, and her extraordinary temperament caused an uproar in the audience.
Several other manufacturers and tea ladies looked at Ziyuan as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Ruan Hongling in the audience smiled proudly and said: "The eyes of the people are sharp!"
Li Yundong chuckled. After Ziyuan came off the stage, he looked at the order in the stands and suddenly asked in confusion: "Hey, Ziyuan is last? The finale!"
Zhou Qin suddenly sneered: "This is the worst position. Tasting tea is like trying something new. Naturally, you get the most advantage at the beginning, because at that time, the judges who taste tea have fresh mouths, so they can naturally taste the aroma of the tea better."
For taste, the higher the score will naturally be, but if they wait until the end, their taste buds will be a little tired, and the score will naturally be lower."
After hearing this, Ruan Hongling said angrily: "Shameless! This must be a secret operation!"
Li Yundong frowned, but when he looked at the rankings above, Qing'er who participated in the competition with Wuyi Dahongpao was actually ranked in front of Ziyuan, ranking second to last. He said: "Look, this Qing'er from Songguan is ranked
In front of Ziyuan, isn't she afraid that the judges will give her a low score because of her tired taste buds?"
Zhou Qin shook his head and said: "Wuyi Dahongpao is the number one tea, with a rich and mellow taste that cannot be replaced by other teas. Maybe this is their idea, to tire the taste buds of the judges with the extremely fragrant tea fragrance of Wuyi Dahongpao.
However, Ziyuan Zhenren’s Huangshan Maofeng itself has a light scent, so it naturally suffers greatly.”
Hearing this, Li Yundong, Su Chan and Ruan Hongling all shouted in unison that the organizer was a despicable person.
However, Ziyuan in the audience was more open-minded. She smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the real tea art skills cannot be framed by such sneaky tricks."
When Li Yundong and others saw Ziyuan's confidence, they relaxed and concentrated on watching the tea art competition that had started on the stage.
The one who came on stage was a young and beautiful tea lady. She was wearing an ancient costume with Gusu style from the Ming Dynasty. She had a round collar with cloth buttons and narrow sleeves and waisted waist. As soon as she came on stage, the tea lady's bright eyes greeted everyone, and she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
There was a burst of cheers.
Li Yundong raised his head and saw that this beautiful woman was the tea lady who had been standing next to Zheng Youming before. This tea lady was the first to appear with her black box operation, so she naturally took a huge advantage. She walked up to the table carrying her own tea set first.
The stage was placed in front of a waist-high rectangular mahogany table, and the tea sets were displayed one by one to the audience.
There is also a special cameraman on the stage at this time. The camera lens is facing the table. There is also a huge plasma TV screen behind the ring, so that the audience can clearly watch the tea lady performing the tea art at close range.
scene.
Li Yundong took a quick look and saw that the tea chosen by the tea lady was none other than Taiping Houkui. He couldn't help asking: "It's strange, doesn't this tea lady represent Zheng Youming? Doesn't Zheng Youming make Tieguanyin? Why does she use Tieguanyin?
Taiping Houkui? What kind of tea is this?"
Zhou Qin comes from a wealthy family and is quite familiar with tea culture. She said: "Taiping Houkui is also a famous Chinese tea. It is the special imperial tea of the State Council along with West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng and Wuyi Dahongpao. This Zheng Youming has the temperament of a rich man.
Specializing in Tieguanyin, although Tieguanyin also has the best quality tea, there is still a certain gap compared to Taiping Houkui, West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng and Wuyi Dahongpao. Therefore, if they want to not fall behind in tea, they must
Choose Taiping Monkey King to fight."
Ziyuan on the side nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, although Taiping Houkui has not been famous recently, it is also an amazing and good tea, especially the authentic mother tea produced in Houkeng, which is worth thousands of gold, and it is not as good as my Huangshan Mao."
Under the Peak. And you can tell just by listening to its name that if it can be called Kui, it is naturally an extremely good tea."
While everyone was talking, they saw the tea lady lighting a bunch of incense on the incense burner next to her graceful posture. Zhou Qin explained: "Chinese black tea, green tea and oolong tea have different tea arts. This Taiping Houkui belongs to
Green tea, so the first step in the green tea art is: light incense and burn the stove to eliminate delusions."
At this time, the tea lady on the stage gently washed each tea cup with water. Zhou Qin said again: "This is the second set of procedures, which is called, wash the cups, ice the heart and leave the world."
When Ziyuan heard this, she couldn't help but take a look at Zhou Qin, and said with a smile: "Are you very knowledgeable about tea art?"
Zhou Qin smiled slightly: "It's not about research, it's just that there are some good government tribute teas all year round. I have come into contact with some in my spare time before."
Zi Yuan chuckled and said to Li Yundong: "You have gained a good apprentice."
Li Yundong laughed, waved his hand and said, "Where is it?"
While they were talking and laughing, they saw the tea lady performing all the way, and she had already reached the fifth stage of the performance: moisturizing the tea with nectar and moistening the lotus heart. She poured water into several teacups placed on the square tea table and brewed the tea.
At this time, Zhou Qin suddenly said: "The main event is coming!"
Li Yundong perked up and looked towards the stage.
At this time, everyone who knew tea art looked at the tea lady with wide eyes. Zhou Qin explained softly and quickly: "This is the sixth process of green tea art, also called flushing with three nods of the Phoenix!"
It is a part of all tea art processes, and it is also the one that tests your skills the most!”
Li Yundong saw the tea lady holding the teapot high and letting the water pour down. Then she used the power of her wrist to lift the teapot up and down to fill it with water. She repeated this three times to stir the tea leaves in the water.
At this time, the plasma screen TV showed the slow-motion movements of the tea lady performing the "Phoenix Three Nods" Kung Fu. The tea lady's elbows were level with her wrists, her wrists were soft and boneless, and the water flowed like silver satin.
Down.
Everyone saw three sounds of water, three soft sounds, three thick lines and three thin lines, three high and three low water flows, and three ups and downs of the pot. The three nodding movements of the phoenix surprisingly achieved the same sound, same light, same thickness, and same thickness.
The height is the same as the low, the same rise and fall. In the end, the amount of tea soup in these tea bowls is exactly the same, as if it has been carefully calculated.
At this time, the audience in the audience could clearly see the joints, and there was a burst of exclamation, and they burst into applause and cheers in unison.
Ziyuan also smiled faintly and nodded slightly: "Yes, I have worked hard."
Although Su Chan and Ruan Hongling despised the dirty and despicable behavior of the organizer, they had to admit that the tea lady was indeed very skilled in tea art, and the three-nod phoenix she just performed was a unique skill.
This tea lady also knew that she had an excellent performance, and her next performance was like flowing water, becoming more and more fluent and confident. After she finished her performance and left the stage, the audience burst into applause. The judges who tasted tea also nodded one after another while sipping the tea.
Full of praise.
Shen Wancai showed admiration on his face and praised: "Not bad, good tea, good tea art!"
The tea lady who appeared first came out on top and received a lot of applause. The pressure on the tea girls who came out immediately increased. Although some of them performed well, none of them could beat the first tea lady. There were even some who
A mistake was made secretly in the tension, causing the referee on the bench to frown secretly.
After performing all the way, when Wuyi Dahongpao, the champion of tea, finally appeared on the stage, a girl with an average appearance but arrogance jumped onto the stage like a cannon.
The stage was 1.5 meters high. Ordinary people with less strength might not be able to climb it. However, she climbed onto the stage without any effort. The audience, who were looking a little drowsy, suddenly became energetic and cheered.
The host on the stage was a little embarrassed for a while, so he could only say in a hurry: "The contestant below is Lin Xueqing from Wuyi Dahongpao, please welcome!"
Lin Xueqing stood proudly and said something astonishing as soon as she opened her mouth: "Today I want to show everyone what the real tea art is!"
She is not very young, so the audience was in an uproar when she spoke. Some people sneered: "The child is young, but her tone is not small!"
The referees on the referee's bench even looked disapproving. Only Shen Wancai laughed and said: "It's true that heroes come from young."
When everyone saw that Lin Xueqing had an astonishingly loud tone and the tea she chose was the extremely expensive Dahongpao tea, they stopped making noises for a while and just waited to see her make a fool of herself.
Li Yundong and others also stared at her with wide eyes. Ruan Hongling and Su Chan even muttered incessantly, cursing this arrogant girl for making a fool of herself.
When Li Yundong saw that Lin Xueqing's tea art process was different from before, he wondered: "She seems to be different from others?"
Zhou Qin whispered to Li Yundong: "This Wuyi Dahongpao belongs to oolong tea. The tea making process of oolong tea is different from that of green tea. They are prepared for later use. Please take a seat, burn incense and calm down, peacocks spread their tails, Meng Chen showers, and mountains and rivers flow. , Oolong enters the palace, a hundred-foot waterfall falls, the spring breeze blows on the face, the jade liquid moves into the pot, and the nectar is divided into three parts, and the phoenix nods three times..."
Li Yundong asked: "Does this also have three nods from the Phoenix?"
Zhou Qin said: "Yes, this is an extremely important part of tea art. Let's see how she performs."
The two of them were whispering to each other, and Lin Xueqing was seen performing skillfully and skillfully all the way. However, her tone was too loud before, and everyone had preconceived ideas, so they thought it was ordinary, and some people even booed loudly.
But Lin Xueqing didn't take it seriously. She suddenly held the teapot on the side with one hand and said loudly: "Water burned with ordinary fire is an ordinary product after all. See if I use ignorance." Use the water from the fire to make this tea!"
I saw her holding the teapot with one hand, holding the teapot high, and her whole body seemed to be frozen for a moment, motionless.
Seeing her weird posture, everyone in the audience burst out laughing and joked: "Is this your tea art? It's so funny, it's so ugly!"
"Wu Ming Huo? I am angry at you for making Wu Ming Huo Huo. Get off the stage!"
Everyone in the audience was making noises, and suddenly bursts of white gas came out of the teapot that Lin Xueqing was holding. The white gas rolled on the stage, and in an instant it formed the shape of a phoenix, lifelike and dreamlike. .
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Ziyuan was also moved immediately, and exclaimed in surprise: "Condensing Qi to form! How amazing! This requires cultivating the Yin Qi in the body into pure Yang Qi, and only then can the Qi be controlled so purely. This is the top level of the Yang God. No wonder her tone So big!”
I saw Lin Xueqing holding the teapot, flicking her wrist, and the phoenix transformed from the steam nodded. With this nod, a stream of water immediately poured out from the beak of the phoenix, which is also the spout of the teapot. A stream of scalding water.
Everyone felt that this injection of clear water was like water falling from the sky. The water stirred up in the tea bowl, and a burst of mist rolled out, echoing with the phoenix, making it more and more dreamlike. The sound of the water in the tea bowl was like the chorus of birds. It sings, and hundreds of birds look toward the phoenix.
Everyone looked straight at Lin Xueqing. She shook her wrist three times, and the phoenix nodded three times. The tea bowls on the tea table were filled to the brim with three bowls of Wuyi Dahongpao!
The exposure of Lin Xueqing's hand shocked the whole audience. Shen Wancai stood up in excitement and said loudly: "I didn't expect to see the real Phoenix Three Nodding here! Okay! Bring it quickly and let me taste it!"
Immediately, a master of ceremonies in cheongsam came up and brought the tea to the judges. The other judges took a sip and were all full of praise. Shen Wancai even praised three words in a row: "Good! Good! Good!" !! !”
At this moment, almost everyone in the field realized what was going on, and the sound was loud and loud.
Ruan Hongling and Su Chan looked shocked and frightened. Li Yundong and Zhou Qin looked at each other with shocked expressions. Ziyuan was the only one with a face as dark as water and a hidden look of worry in her eyes. She thought to herself: This Lin Xueqing performs tea art with her spiritual skills. Not only is her tea art superb, but her spiritual skills are not inferior to mine. I wonder if I can beat her?
