They often say that water and fire are incompatible, but no, in the tea ceremony skills, water and fire must be coordinated properly and harmoniously to bring out the greatest power.
The water in the copper stove is boiling, and the coal is bubbling.
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.
The second boil, the edge is like a gushing spring with beads.
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. Can that woman really be able to play the role of a fresh girl and a tough guy
"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 tea water is the key to the success or failure of the tea.
If the buds are not hairy, you will naturally need to use lower boiling water. Avoid damaging the leaf quality and destroying the flavor.
But if the tea we are talking about today is aged Pu'er tea, then the water used needs to be boiled three times.
There is also a record in the "Tea Classic": when the water has just boiled for three times, it is asked to make tea. If it is boiled eastward, the water will be old and inedible.
Qin Yitian poured the water from the copper pot into the cup and rinsed it, which was called Ji Zhan. If it is hot and the tea cup is cooled, the tea will not float.
There was a small teapot on the coffee table in front of him, but Qin Yitian did not pour the water from the copper pot into the small teapot for easy use. Because she knew that once she passed the water, the boiling water would come into contact with the air one more time. The more you change the utensils, the more cocoa will be mixed with flavor. Subtle changes occur in the temperature and quality of the water.
Like a jade beauty, she has slender jade legs, but she is carrying a simple copper pot weighing more than ten kilograms. That scene makes people feel weird and beautiful at the same time.
The most amazing thing was that she was holding the pot with one leg and pouring boiling water into the tea cup without even a drop of water spraying out. This alone is something that ordinary people can do.
According to Fang Yan's idea, Qin Yitian should wait a while. First, I waited for the selected legs from the Wuren inspection team to brew the tea, and everyone tasted it one by one, and then praised it greatly.
Until that time, Qin Yicai performed the tea ceremony with nimble legs and feet, and served the tea soup he carefully brewed in front of everyone. Just smelling its fragrance makes you intoxicated. As soon as I took a sip, I felt that this tea should be present in heaven and smell it several times in the human world. However, 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 that case, the surprise will be even more memorable.
Besides, in any competition, don’t latecomers take advantage
After drinking tea from future generations, do I remember clearly what the previous cup of tea tasted like
Unless the taste of the two cups of tea is very different, if the quality is the same, then the second cup of tea is definitely cheaper.
Could it be that 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 the wrong leg.
After the water boils, cleaning the utensils, waiting for the water, and pouring the cup are all a series of movements like flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.
After receiving the tea, place the tea cake on a piece of clean red silk, break it into pieces carefully, and remove all the coarse leaves and fine foam. Until that time, the priority tea leaves are placed in the east pot.
Handle with care and do not let tea leaves clog the spout.
Pour tea into the copper pot held by the legs, shake it three times, and pour the tea out immediately. That's called washing tea.
After washing the tea, you can make tea. The most important step in making tea is to avoid going straight to the center of the pot. Hit one corner first, then hit all corners. The spout of the copper pot is raised, and the principle of high flushing and low sprinkling is strictly followed. High brewing can force the boiling water to 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 flushed to be full. Whether the teapot is the "Three Mountains Together", this is where the skill is most evident. Qin Yitian looked leisurely, but his eyes were serious. He quickly filled the teapot with tea, and the foam rose, but did not overflow at all. A master's style.
After completing the tedious but necessary process, close the lid and pour boiling water over the pot. It's called a shower tank.
After scalding the cup, you can serve the guests with tea.
Qin Yitian poured four cups out of a pot of tea.
He flicked his long sleeves and said, "Please."
Lu Chaoge came 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, give me that cup of tea."
"My guy-----" Fang Yan said pretending to be angry, but he was happy in his heart. I looked around and saw that there were four cups of tea. Except for the three judges, Qin Yitian didn't give it to anyone, not the vice principal, not the dean, not the leader of the Chinese language group, but he just brought the tea to himself. .
What kind of behavior is that? Respect for teachers.
What does that mean? Explain whether your teacher is qualified, outstanding, and respected by 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 lap. Therefore, the three judges naturally need 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: "He doesn't understand tea. But he still knows whether it is good tea. Good tea, good water and good tea ceremony are amazing."
Matsushima Ji held the tea soup and first smelled its fragrance and then looked at its color. Then he tasted it in small sips and said: "The soup is green and red in color, and the flowers are fine and even. It is a high-quality tea."
Brown is more valuable than red, green and red are better than yellow and red. The soup needs to be thin and even, like cold porridge and noodles. If you can bite the edge of the cup tightly and stay together for a long time, the effect will be best. It's called 'bite lamp'.
Matsushima Nori also likes to drink tea, and he has a good knowledge of the wrong tea. It was precisely because of that that she realized how perfect and profound the tea ceremony skills of the girl in front of her were.
Without more than ten years of immersion, would I be afraid that I wouldn't be able to reach the master level
Duan Youjun drank half of the cup of tea in his lap, and hesitated to part with the other half, praising: "The tea fairy is reincarnated. The tea fairy is reincarnated. After Mingyue sees this tea ceremony, he will never fight with others for tea again. I am so ashamed. I am so ashamed."
While everyone was appraising 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 heart was still. Just focus on the movements of your legs and head, without any interference from external factors.
Even when Qin Yitian brought tea soup to Fang Yan, she never looked at it distractedly. It seemed like everything around her had nothing to do with her.
The heart is not the tea, and the tea is not the heart. The heart is at peace, completely forgetting him.
Each tea tray had four teacups placed on it, but Chiba Kaoru 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, but walked up to Qin Yitian and said: "That cup of tea represents his respect. Please accept it."
Qin Yitian looked at Qianye Xun thoughtfully. It was only then that she truly began to respect the girl from Japan.
"Kaoru Chiba, give each judge a drink quickly." Saburo Fujino urged urgently. What happened to the child? The judges didn't drink enough tea. How could they give tea to their wrong legs first? Besides, the judges have never tasted my tea, so how do they know how beautiful and moving my 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 am I doing? Do I know what I am doing? How can I do that? ? How can I give up? Do I know that what I am giving up is not just myself--it is very much them, their Takehito's pride, and their Dongyang's face--how can I give up? "
Kaoru Chiba turned to look at Saburo Fujino, with a sweet smile on his face, and said: "Teacher Fujino, he lost. He lost his mind, his aura, and even the confidence of everyone else - ----She was perfect, and all her performances were impeccable. He thought that if he just begged him to wait a little longer, he would be able to find flaws. But, from beginning to end, she didn't give him any chance. "
Qianye Xun also thought that Qin Yitian would wait.
Qin Yitian waited for him to make good tea first, and then she could surpass him as a latecomer.
She thought Qin Yitian would do that. Don’t people all have that kind of mentality
Her movements lagged behind Qin Yitian's, both because she had to boil the water again and also because of a knot in her mind - she wanted to be the first winner.
Why does she think so? Why do you want to do that? In the final analysis, it is not wrong that I do not have enough confidence. It was my fault that I had no confidence, and it was my fault that I had no confidence in my tea. Without the vitality of tea, how can we win them over
But Qin Yitian didn't do that.
She doesn't argue or wait, she's simple and direct.
She does her own thing, and she does things her own way.
She disdains conspiracies and doesn't want to engage in scheming. She just stays true to herself. She did her best, she pushed herself to the extreme.
She disapproves of Qin Yitian, and she believes that she will win.
Those wrong legs easily impressed her and deserved so much respect from her.
Qianye Xun's expression was smiling, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Teacher, let him admit defeat." Qianye Xun said with a choked voice. "At least that looks dignified."
(ps: The rewards are so crazy! He gave up and was conquered by us!)
