Chapter 261 Xiangpiao Siye

The tea ceremony was the first game of cultural exchange between the two sides. In order to win a good start, both sides sent their strongest strengths.

Liusheng Ai and Hua Mingrui showed no reservations after they came on stage. Equipping, warming the pot, baking the tea, setting the tea, flushing, shaking the pot, pouring the tea, a series of movements flowed smoothly, showing the two people's extraordinary accomplishments in the tea ceremony .

Gao Fengwen nodded frequently in the audience and said, "Not bad! Not bad!"

Qin Haodong said, "Is Mr. Gao good at tea ceremony too?"

"I can't say I'm good at it, I usually like to make a cup of tea, and I also understand the tea ceremony." Gao Fengwen opened the chat box and said, "Generally speaking, the tea ceremony in Huaxia is divided into three realms. Old man, I can barely do it, and the aroma of the tea brewed has reached a certain level, which makes the tea drinkers feel pleasing to the eye.

The tea ceremony is simple to say, but you must have a deep understanding of the tea leaves, the amount of water and the state of the tea set, and it will take at least a few years of hard work to achieve it. "

Qin Haodong nodded slightly. Tea is known as the head of all herbs and the flower of ten thousand trees. As Emperor Qingmu, no one is more proficient in tea ceremony than him. It's just that his tea ceremony was accomplished in the world of self-cultivation, and he is not very clear about the level of the tea ceremony on earth.

Gao Fengwen didn't know that he was facing a tea ceremony audience, and he continued: "The second realm, returning to the basics, now the two people on stage have reached this realm.

The so-called "returning to the basics" means that when brewing tea, it is not only to show off skills, but to integrate the skills of tea ceremony into the bone marrow, so that the most essential flavor of tea leaves can be radiated, so that the purest tea aroma can be brewed.

It's not easy, to be able to reach the second realm at such a young age, it is absolutely impossible without more than ten years of hard work and talent. "

Qin Haodong asked: "In the opinion of the high-ranking man, who can win between the two?"

Gao Fengwen said: "Although I personally don't like the Japanese country very much, I have to say that this Japanese woman's tea art has also achieved certain attainments, and she and the tea fairy belong to the second realm of the tea ceremony. .

If anyone can reach the third stage of the tea ceremony, or even touch a little threshold, then the game is sure to win! "

Qin Haodong asked, "What is the third realm of the tea ceremony mentioned by Mr. Gao?"

"As far as I know, the third realm is the highest realm of the tea ceremony, and it is called Fragrance in the Four Wilds. As the name suggests, the tea brewed by people who reach this realm can float for thousands of meters and last for a long time. Of course, this is just a According to this legend, it may be exaggerated for a few kilometers, but at least the range is much wider than that of the second realm."

While the two were talking, the tea on the stage had already been brewed, and they were poured into ten numbered cups. After the cups were registered by the staff, they were distributed to the ten judges under the stage to taste.

The ten judges are also selected masters of the tea ceremony. They slowly evaluate each cup they hold, sometimes shaking their heads, sometimes nodding, and finally writing down the number they have chosen.

The result came out soon, Hua Mingrui and Liu Shengai got five votes each, as Gao Fengwen said, it was a tie. Although the two arrogant women were very dissatisfied, they had no choice but to agree with the result.

Qian Duoduo came back to power and asked the Japanese delegation, "Are there any other players in your country?"

Kazuo Liuyu shook his head, indicating that there were no more players. Regardless of whether Yagyu Ai wins or loses, it already represents the highest level of tea ceremony in Japan, and it is impossible to find another person.

However, they can accept this result. After all, the tea ceremony originated in China, and it was introduced to the Japanese country in the later period. Even if it was tied to China, it would be dull.

Qian Duoduo looked at Gao Fengwen and asked, "Elder Gao, are there any other contestants here who want to challenge Miss Liu Shengai?"

Gao Fengwen sighed secretly in his heart, the draw really made Huaxia lose face, but Fairy Tea couldn't win, let alone the others.

He was about to signal that there were no other players, when Qin Haodong said, "Elder Gao, let me try it out?"

"Can this work?" Gao Fengwen asked in surprise.

At Qin Haodong's age, it is already remarkable that he can make achievements in medicine and antiques. It is hard to imagine that he is also proficient in tea ceremony.

Qin Haodong smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it's not a big deal to try, maybe I'll win!"

Seeing his confidence, Gao Fengwen said, "Well, Dr. Qin will go up and have a try if he is interested."

Qin Haodong just stood up, and Lang Sanyuan next to him said disdainfully: "If you don't know what you can do, you can come up with all the limelight. What's the use of going up even if the tea fairy can't win? Isn't it a shame for us Huaxia?"

Without even looking at Lang Sanyuan, Qin Haodong walked straight to the stage. It is useless to talk about such a narrow-minded villain. It would be good to slap him in the face then.

"Miss Hua, let me experience Miss Yagyu Ai's tea ceremony."

Hua Mingrui gave up her position and glanced at Qin Haodong with a profound meaning. She has always been very conceited in the tea ceremony, but now she can't even win herself. I don't know where this young man's confidence comes from.

Someone even challenged, and the second round began. The staff replaced all the tea sets that Hua Mingrui and Liu Shengai had just used, and brought two new sets of tea sets for two people to use.

Liu Shengai glanced at Qin Haodong, and said with a tender smile: "Little handsome guy, can you do it? It's not a matter of preference, right?"

Her words were puns, full of provocative taste.

Qin Haodong smiled slightly, "Whether it works or not, you'll know if you try it."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the tea set on the table and started to operate it.

A trace of disdain flashed in Liu Shengai's eyes. Compared with Hua Mingrui, Qin Haodong's movements were much stiffer, and there was no aesthetic feeling at all. It was no different from ordinary people making tea at home, and he was obviously a layman.

Others also sighed, especially the audience offstage. They felt very sorry for the draw just now. They thought that a new player would have the hope of defeating Yagyu Ai, but now they are deeply disappointed. The performance of this young man There is no demeanor of any tea ceremony master.

Qin Haodong didn't pay any attention to other people's expressions, and brewed his own tea calmly.

Time passed slowly, when Liu Shengai re-brewed a pot of tea, Qin Haodong completed all the previous procedures, the difference is that Liu Shengai's teapot has a faint tea fragrance, while Qin Haodong's side has no taste at all.

Liu Shengai said contemptuously: "Little handsome guy, do you think this game is still necessary? I don't think it bothers these judges, right?"

Qin Haodong looked at her and smiled slightly, "I think so too, there is no need to trouble the judges!"

Lang Sanyuan said sarcastically: "Shame! It's too shameful! This level is not as good as my nanny, what are you going to do?"

Both Gao Fengwen and Guo Feng's expressions changed, but the fact was there, and they had nothing to say.

Just when everyone thought Qin Haodong was going to admit defeat, he picked up the teapot in front of him and said slowly to the teacup in front of him, a golden liquid flowed out, like a mountain spring flowing, hitting the wall of the teacup with a clear sound. , as if playing a musical instrument.

At the same time, a strong aroma of tea emanated, from the stage to the stage, quickly filling the entire thousand-person venue, filling everyone's nostrils.

Smelling the aroma of tea, Gao Fengwen's expression changed greatly, the loss just now was swept away, replaced by a face full of ecstasy.

"Xiangpiao Siye! Oh my God, it turned out to be the third realm, Xiangpiao Siye!"

Hua Mingrui did not step down and stood by Qin Haodong's side all the time. She was so surprised that her face turned pale. She was obsessed with tea ceremony for many years. It has always been her dream to be able to reach the third realm, but this realm is too difficult. .

Unexpectedly, what she hadn't done was done by others today. The young man in front of him seemed to be casual, but who would have thought that he had really achieved the realm of Xiangpiao Siye.

Liu Sheng Ai, who was still very proud just now, has turned ashes at this time. She has been immersed in the tea ceremony for so many years. Of course, she understands what Xiangpiao Siye represents, even her teacher can't reach this level.

She lost, and lost completely!

Qin Haodong glanced at Liu Shengai and said jokingly, "Miss Liu Sheng, you just said that you don't need to trouble the judges, should you admit defeat?"

Liu Shengai bit her lip, and although she was extremely reluctant, she said with extreme difficulty: "I admit defeat!"

One is the second stage of the tea ceremony, and the other is the third stage of the tea ceremony. If there is such an obvious gap, if you ask the judges to judge again, it will make people laugh. It is better to simply admit defeat.

Seeing this Japanese woman admit defeat on the spot, thunderous cheers erupted from the scene.

Kazuo Liu's expression changed greatly. He originally thought that the first game was tied with Huaxia, but he did not expect to lose in a blink of an eye, and the defeat was terrible!

Qin Haodong stood up and bowed his hands to the excited audience under the stage, turned to step down, and when he returned to his seat, he glanced at Lang Sanyuan next to him.

Just now, Lang Sanyuan was still sneering at Qin Haodong's shameful appearance. The tea ceremony level was not as good as that of their nanny. He was beaten in the face in a blink of an eye, and the beating was so loud that he directly plunged his head into the crotch of his pants. He didn't even have the courage to look at Qin Haodong.

The first game came to an end, and the second game officially began.

On the Japanese side, Chiba Mieko walked directly onto the stage and said to the audience: "In the second round of the exchange competition, we in the Japanese country want to see the appraisal ability of Chinese antique experts. We have prepared three pairs of collections in total. It may be true, or it may be false, if all the experts in Huaxia are correct, even if we admit defeat."

Qian Duoduo asked: "Miss Chiba, I want to ask, how can you ensure that the answer you give is fair and just?"

Chiba Mieko said: "We will put the true and false collections in a small box in advance and hand them over to you for safekeeping, so as to ensure the fairness of the answers."

"That's a good idea."

Qian Duoduo nodded, and writing the answer in advance can prevent the little devils from not admitting the account afterwards. The reputation of the Japanese people has always been not very good, otherwise they would not admit to the crimes they once committed.

On Huaxia's side, Guo Feng whispered to Qin Haodong: "Brother Qin, I'll go up and have a look first, and if I can't, I'll ask you to come on stage."

After speaking, he strode onto the stage. Qian Duoduo said to Chiba Mieko: "Miss Chiba, President Guo has already taken the stage, please take out the collection you need to identify."

Chiba Mieko waved to the stage, and two Japanese people came onto the stage holding two very simple-looking painting tubes.

Chiba Mieko first handed a small wooden box containing the answer to Qian Duoduo, then opened the painting tube, carefully took out the two scrolls inside, and opened it up on the table.

At the same time, the electronic projection equipment on the stage projected the two scrolls on a huge electronic screen, and the audience under the stage could also see clearly.

On these two scrolls is written an ancient poem, "When the lights are on at the third watch and the chickens are on the fifth watch, it is when I bury my head in reading, the black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets reading late." This "Encouraging Learning" uses cursive. , The whole character is written vigorously and vigorously, and the signature is Yan Zhenqing.
