"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 for a longer time to make the fragrance more pure and lasting. But you, after boiling the water, it 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 the ninth year, the tea leaves grew in a humid place. There is a lot of moisture in the tea leaves. Before soaking, 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 also directly soaked them dry, which affected the taste.
Said, 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 took seven breaths and the first cup of tea was different from the fifth cup that was 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 has 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 refute, 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 is exactly the same as what his grandfather taught him, and even has 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 is this possible?
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 open 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.
It's clear as day...
Suddenly he felt like his face had been slapped hard, it was so hot that it was about to be torn apart.
What's going on?
He said so much in one breath and knew so much about Jiu Nian Chun, 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.
Making tea by a tea ceremony master is the same as boxing by a martial artist. It can also generate books that record defects. This Tian Long is not provocative and does not bother to pay attention. It is a shame to give him a step down. He has caused trouble for himself from the beginning and helped Lu Xun.
Already.
Of course, this was because he was being lenient and only mentioned some of his shortcomings. If he really told them all, I'm afraid that this guy would be like the original Alchemist Bai Ming. His firm belief over the past few years suddenly collapsed, resulting in the inability 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?"
"Teacher Zhang is right?"
Hearing his judgment, the hall was in an uproar.
Especially 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 would happen.
kind of 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?
"He must have done it on purpose..."
Recalling that Huang Yu was kind enough to explain the four aspects of tea ceremony to him just now, Huang Yu kept vomiting blood. I'm afraid this guy was laughing at his own ignorance in his heart...
"It seems...Master Zhang was like this before painting..."
While I was cursing secretly in my mind, I remembered Bai Xun's confused voice in my ears.
Hearing this, Huang Yu suddenly thought about it.
It seems... Master Zhang, before he started painting, looked like an idiot and didn't know anything. As a result... after reading for a while and making a few random strokes, he was able to even create paintings of the fifth realm...
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?" Putting his hands behind his back, Zhang Xuan returned to his seat and looked over with an indifferent expression.
"Wait!"
Before Mr. Tian could speak, Wang Chao across from him suddenly stood up: "The question Mr. Tian asked just now was, whoever can tell between Zhang Xuan and 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] method, also said that the fragrance of tea is the fourth grade, the answer is impartial and relevant to the question! As for Teacher Zhang, he said so much, but 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 the rest, 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 wants to win and become Master Liu's apprentice, wouldn't he be with Huang Yu every day? Then what else would he have to do with himself?
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.
Is 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 they say it is the same as you, they will definitely say it is a retelling. If they say it is different, they 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 made this question somewhat negligently, 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. There is another question. 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 also saw that both of them are very proficient in tea ceremony. If they really have to fight to the death, it will hurt the harmony. Well, in addition to tea ceremony, I also have some experience in calligraphy and painting.
Research, and I happened to get a piece of calligraphy and painting. After just one glance, I was astonished. Both of you are teachers and must have some knowledge of calligraphy and painting. Why don't I take it out for you two to 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?"
Upon 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, when he thought 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 of them 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.
So, I came directly to take a calligraphy and painting assessment.
This would be tantamount to comparing Lu Xun's strengths with his own.
It's a pity that he didn't expect that... 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 masters of calligraphy and painting went through it in my mind. Many books I had read since elementary school kept rolling in my mind, and a confident look immediately appeared on my face.
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!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Compared with calligraphy and painting appreciation?"
The 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, it is not a professional. If you fail, you will not be discouraged. 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...
