A waiter came immediately and brought the tea.
The nine judges sent tea to the entrance...
Ishii said: "In front of Hiei-san, there is no tea in the world!"
The first old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His brows suddenly wrinkled as if he was thinking about something or doubting something. Then he took another sip...
Seeing this, Ishii smiled: "I said before Hiei-san, there is no tea in the world. No matter how good your tea is, it will only be served after Hiei-san's taste has dissipated. Unfortunately... the time is too short."
Song Xian asked with a smile, "Really?"
A member of the Hiei family laughed and said: "Looking at the expressions of the judges, you can tell that they are probably doubting whether they have drunk the tea. Usually, one sip of tea is enough. After so many sips, I still feel It only means that your tea has no taste."
As soon as he finished speaking, the host suddenly came over and said, "Well, Master Song, look, is there still tea? The judges need an extra cup."
Hearing this, Ishii became even more happy: "Haha... After tasting one cup, I still want another cup. How weak is your tea?"
Song Xian ignored him and poured another glass for the judges. After pouring it, he said: "You have to leave some for me in the last glass, right?"
The host chuckled, and the judges' faces were obviously red, but due to the light at the scene, they couldn't see clearly.
When Ishii heard this, he curled his lips and said, "When you lose, you can go back and drink this tea slowly."
Over there, the host signaled the waiter to come over and serve tea, but one hand fell first, but it was a tea master from country F!
The man spoke fluent Chinese and said, "I'll do it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crash, and the judges who were sitting motionless all stood up and ran over, and their master's demeanor was completely gone for a moment.
One by one, they gathered in front of Song Xian, picked up the tea cup themselves, and squinted their eyes to taste it.
Only one of the little old men, seeing everyone tasting it, raised his head and drank all the tea leaves!
Then he put down the tea cup and said, "Brother Song, would you like another cup?"
Seeing this, the other tea masters who had just cared about their demeanor quickly raised their heads and drank all the tea in their cups. They then put down the tea cups and licked their lips one by one and said: "Brother Song, please have another cup. I didn’t taste the taste just now…”
"That's right, that's right... I drank it too fast." The tea master from Country F nodded.
Others followed suit.
Seeing this, everyone also felt that something was wrong. Is this tea tasting, or are you thirsty
Tang Chen said: "Isn't it? Why do I think there is something fishy here!"
Tangze smiled bitterly and said: "I still underestimated the charm of Hanzhu Tea. If I had known it, I would have become a judge. Alas... It's a pity that I found out the news a little too late. And as a Chinese, we always have to avoid suspicion. .”
When Tang Chen heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Master, what do you mean, these old guys are taking this opportunity to drink tea?"
Tang Ze nodded and said: "What else do you think they are doing? A master tea taster, after one sip, he can tell you the year and location of the tea, whether there is enough sunlight, whether the production method is in place, what went wrong in any link, etc... If so... Without these brushes, how could he have the nerve to say that he is a tea connoisseur? And to be a judge? These old guys have made it clear that they want to have tea even if they are shameless. Song Xian had already seen it, so he asked them to give it to him Save some...the result...ah..."
Tang Chen exclaimed, "It's a bit shameless for them to do this."
Tang Ze said: "If it were you, you would be shameless."
Tang Chen was speechless, and after a while he asked: "Master, what about you?"
Tang Ze thought for a while and asked: "Can your face be used as tea?"
Tang Chen shook his head.
Tang Ze said: "Then I don't want it..."
Tang Chen: "..."
Song Xian watched as several judges stared at him with green eyes, as if you don't give me a drink, I will fight you desperately.
Song Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Don't look at me like that, this tea is precious. This is all we have, just drink two cups, that's it! Announce the results quickly."
"How can I announce it if it doesn't taste good?" The judges from Country F rolled their eyes.
The judge from Country D nodded and said, "That's right, have another drink and make sure the taste is good."
The BX judge said: "Well, I really need another drink."
…
Song Xian saw that these old guys wanted to drink tea shamelessly, and said helplessly: "You guys, can't you leave some bottom of the pot for me? I won't invite you next time!"
When the judges heard this, they collectively laughed.
Ishii also saw that something was wrong. After hearing the words of several judges, he immediately stepped forward and said: "This is not fair! Hiei-san only drank one cup, and you drank so much of this tea. This has affected the fairness of the competition!" "
When the little old man who was speaking Chinese just now heard this, he immediately looked back at Ishii, and then said in R language: "Little baby, your old man doesn't dare to talk to me like this. If we still can't represent fairness, then you come and tell me , who can represent it?”
Ishii's face turned red when he heard this. No one else knew these people, but he knew very well the origins of these judges. Each one of them was not a simple person!
Tang Chen asked Tang Ze in a low voice: "Master, where are these judges from? Ishii seems a little afraid of them. The Hiei family's international status is not low."
Tang Zedao: "The little old man with the goatee is the royal family of Southeast Asia. The old guy from country F is the brother of the prime minister. The one with short blond hair and suits is the grand duke of country Y. It is said that he is a guest of the queen and a member of the established aristocracy. Nobles, people whom the Prime Minister always greets when he meets... That is the father of the richest man in BX... That is the prince of the Middle East... "
Hearing the backgrounds of these people, Tang Chen grinned subconsciously. Thinking about his rude words before, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he said, "Oh my God, when these people come together, it's just..."
Tang Zedao: "They are representatives of nobles from all over the world, and they also represent the gateway to the high-end tea market. Only tea that can be praised by them will be qualified to enter the high-end market. This is the competition between China and Country R, the two world's tea hegemons. If we change places, we won’t be able to invite them, at least not all of them.”
Tang Chen was speechless and said: "No wonder Song Ming has always said that the stakes are very important this time. It turns out that the result of this competition is so authoritative."
Karasawa chuckled and said: "Speaking of which, it's interesting. The Hiei family has made great efforts to invite so many people to this competition. They gave away a lot of good tea that they have treasured for many years, which made today's event possible. The battle of noble families. The result... haha... "
