"Normally, tea can be consumed in one year, but this one takes nine years. This shows that it is special. It needs to be soaked longer to make the fragrance more pure and lasting. But you, after boiling the water, you took less than three breaths. , just brewed all the tea leaves, the time was too fast, resulting in the fragrance of the nine-year spring not being fully exerted, and the first failure!"
"In the spring of nine years, the tea leaves are grown in a humid place. There is a lot of moisture in the tea leaves. Before steeping, they need to be washed with light salt water to activate the veins of the leaves and allow the tea leaves to better distribute their fragrance. Not only did you not wash them, but you directly brewed them dry, which affected the taste. Said that it made Jiu Nianchun suddenly drop a level and fail for the second time!"
"Before making tea, there was no problem in heating the tea set. Unfortunately, I over-showed off my skills and put in the tea leaves before they were completely heated. Moreover, the tea leaves were in a normal state, which resulted in heat loss and greatly reduced the effect. The third failure!"
…
"Falling leaves return to their roots. When you finally divide the tea, you should finish it within three breaths to ensure that each cup tastes the same. But you delayed it to seven breaths, and the first cup of tea was different from the fifth cup you poured out. , the taste is almost one level worse. You can test it, the first cup reaches the fourth grade, and the last cup is only three grades at most. The same pot of tea, but there are two flavors, the seventeenth failure!"
Zhang Xuan didn't stop and mentioned seventeen things that were wrong in a row. He looked at Tian Long again with a look of sympathy on his face: "A good method of returning fallen leaves to their roots, a good nine-year spring tea, brewed like this by you, it's not 'bullshit'. What?"
"you you… "
Tian Long's face turned pale, as if he had seen a ghost.
I wanted to retort, but I couldn't say a word.
He had just learned this technique, and it was normal to have many flaws. Logically speaking, it was harmless, but how did the other party see it
Doesn’t he know how to do tea ceremony
You know, what the other party said was exactly the same as what his grandfather taught him, and even a lot more!
Grandpa only mentioned four or five points, but he mentioned seventeen points in one breath...
Could it be that his research on tea ceremony is better than grandpa's
How can this be
Not only was he going crazy, but the entire hall was also buzzing.
Everyone looked at Zhang Xuan as if looking at a monster.
Especially Lu Xun, his eyes were so wide that they almost fell to the ground, and he was going crazy.
As soon as he told the other party about the techniques used and the grade of tea aroma, he felt very powerful and proud. As a result... the other party not only saw this, but also pointed out all the problems and technical mistakes in making tea. Clearly...
Suddenly he felt like his face had been slapped hard, it was so hot that it was about to be torn apart.
what happened
He said so much in one breath and knew so much about Nine Years Spring. Are you a fucking tea seller
"Mr. Tian, I wonder if what I said is right?"
Ignoring everyone's shock, Zhang Xuan smiled softly and looked at Mr. Tian among them.
The tea ceremony master makes tea, just like the martial artist boxing, it can also generate books recording defects. This Tian Long is not provocative and does not bother to pay attention to it. It is a shame to give him a step down. He has caused trouble for himself from the beginning and helped Lu Xun. .
Of course, this was because he was being lenient and only mentioned some of his shortcomings. If he really wanted to tell them all, I'm afraid this guy would be like Alchemist Bai Ming in the past. His firm belief over the past few years would suddenly collapse, resulting in him being unable to improve in the tea ceremony in the future.
"you said… "
To be honest, he didn't know whether half of what the other party said was correct or not, but the rest was 100% correct.
Moreover, the half he didn't know should not be a problem regardless of the properties of the tea leaves or the tea making techniques.
Just taking one look at making tea and saying so many questions
Is he a tea ceremony master, or am I
Mr. Tian looked like he had seen a ghost and hesitated for a long time: "That's absolutely right!"
"All right?"
"Is Teacher Zhang right?"
Hearing his judgment, the hall was in an uproar.
Qi Huang Yu and Bai Xun looked at each other, each seeing madness in the other's eyes.
On the way here, Teacher Zhang kept asking about the tea ceremony. If you are a novice, you definitely don’t know what the tea ceremony is... I was worried just now that I would definitely lose compared with Lu Xun. I never imagined that this kind of thing would happen. result.
Brother, can you stop playing with your heartbeat like this
You are so proficient in tea ceremony, why do you pretend to know nothing about it
"He must have done it on purpose..."
Recalling that he had kindly given him a message to explain the four aspects of tea ceremony, Huang Yu kept vomiting blood. I'm afraid this guy was laughing at his ignorance in his heart...
"It seems...Master Zhang was like this before painting..."
While he was cursing secretly in his mind, Bai Xun's confused voice came to mind in his ears.
Hearing this, Huang Yu suddenly thought about it.
It seems... Master Zhang, before he painted, looked like an idiot, knowing nothing. But... after reading for a while and making a few random strokes, he was able to create even fifth-level paintings...
What's going on with this guy
How could there be such weird people in the world
"Since everything is correct, does it pass your test?" With his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan returned to his seat and looked over with an indifferent expression.
"Wait!"
Before Mr. Tian could say anything, Wang Chao across from him suddenly stood up: "The question that Mr. Tian asked just now was, whoever can tell Zhang Xuan or Brother Lu what technique was used and how many grades of tea fragrance was used, the winner will be! Brother Lu said [Falling leaves return to their roots] technique, also said that the fragrance of tea is the fourth grade, the answer is impartial and relevant to the question! As for Teacher Zhang, after saying so much, the most critical thing was not stated. If you think about it carefully, it is the wrong answer. I think Brother Lu should win."
"That's right. Brother Lu didn't say anything about the latter. It doesn't mean he can't do it. He just answered the question correctly." Tian Long's eyes lit up and he gritted his teeth.
If this guy really wanted to win and become Master Liu's apprentice, wouldn't he be with Huang Yu every day? What else does it have to do with you
Therefore, we must not let it succeed!
And he was scolded just like his grandson. How could he let go of such a good opportunity
“…”
Zhang Xuan was stunned when he heard the other party's argument.
I thought I was shameless enough, but I didn't expect these two guys to be even more shameless than me.
Isn't the answer wrong
Speaking carefully, I did answer the wrong question, but...
"Teacher Lu's first answer has already given the answer. If Teacher Zhang didn't say so, would it be possible to repeat his answer?" Huang Yu couldn't bear it anymore and stood up.
Are you kidding me
You have already told me the answer, how do you want the people behind you to answer it
If I say it is the same as you, I will definitely say that it is a retelling. If I say it is different, I will say that the answer is wrong...
They are all star teachers, can you please give me a little face
"Okay, stop arguing."
Seeing that both parties were getting angry, Mr. Tian waved his hand and said, "I was a little negligent in coming up with this question, so I'll leave it at that."
"Give up?"
Zhang Xuan looked over and knew that the other party was clearly helping Lu Xun.
It's no wonder that he is alone. Before today, he didn't even know who Mr. Tian was. Of course, he had to help Lu Xun, who was more familiar with him.
"Teacher Tian..."
Hearing this, Liu Ling frowned.
This partiality is too blatant!
"Okay, don't say it anymore. It was my negligence. Another question is that there is no need to dwell on it here." Interrupting Master Liu, Mr. Tian said calmly.
"Yes!" The teacher said this. Liu Ling did not dare to refute, so he could only look at Zhang Xuan apologetically.
"I was negligent in the tea ceremony test just now. However, I have also read it. Both of them are very proficient in tea ceremony. If they really have to fight to the death, it will hurt the harmony. So, in addition to tea ceremony, I also have some knowledge of calligraphy and painting. Research, and I just happened to get a piece of calligraphy and painting. After just one glance, I was shocked. Both of you are teachers, so they must have some knowledge of calligraphy and painting. Why don't I take it out and let you two appreciate it. Who can say it accurately? Whoever wins..."
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Laoyi stroked his beard and said.
"Assess calligraphy and painting?"
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Xuan was stunned and almost laughed out loud.
If there were other assessments, he might have to look for books from the library, study a little bit, calligraphy and painting... No need at all!
Being able to draw paintings in the fifth realm has already reached the level of a calligraphy and painting master, comparable to a two-star calligraphy and painting master. Are you sure... Lu Xun can win against me
However, after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on him that through what had just happened, he must have seen that he was very proficient in the tea ceremony. If the competition continued, Lu Xun would also lose.
Since the two had known each other for a long time, they naturally knew about the origins of Lu Xun's family. His father, Lu Chen, was a formal master of calligraphy and painting. He had been exposed to it since childhood, and his understanding of calligraphy and painting must be better than that of tea ceremony.
Therefore, a calligraphy and painting assessment came directly.
This would be tantamount to comparing Lu Xun's strengths with his own.
It's a pity that he didn't expect... Even Lu Xun's father, Master Lu Chen, would respectfully call him master when he met him.
"I wonder if you two have any objections?"
After saying that, Mr. Tian looked over.
"Mr. Tian arranged it, and Lu Xunzi didn't dare to object."
Lu Xun clasped his fists, looking like a good baby, but he was already happy.
Although Tian Long had said before that Zhang Xuan might be a master of calligraphy and painting, he thought he was lying and didn't care at all.
In addition, he is definitely much more proficient in calligraphy and painting than tea ceremony.
Mo Chenzi, Yuan Yu, Daddy Lu Chen, and many other calligraphy and painting masters went over it in his mind. Many books from elementary school kept rolling in his mind, and his face immediately showed a confident look.
Just kidding, he has only dabbled in tea ceremony, but calligraphy and painting are family traditions.
As long as the opponent is not a master of calligraphy and painting, it is absolutely impossible to defeat him.
Lu Xun has this absolute confidence.
"Where's Teacher Zhang?"
Seeing that he agreed, Mr. Tian nodded and looked at Zhang Xuan.
"I... agree too!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Compared with appreciation of calligraphy and painting?"
Third Master, Huang Yu, Bai Xun and other insiders all looked at each other in confusion.
After a moment, they both looked at Lu Xun, full of pity.
The tea ceremony competition just now may not be called a blow. After all, I am not a professional. I will not be discouraged if I fail. Compared with calligraphy and painting...
This baby will probably cry to death after a while.
Oh, poor child.
To be honest, Lu Xun, you really picked the wrong person for the calligraphy and painting competition...
