At the judges' table, Wang Yunjian opened his eyes first. He first glanced in the direction of Mrs. Wang, and then asked softly.
"It has a mellow aroma and a long aftertaste. It is the best among the best!"
Even though Zhang Huai had some doubts about Cai Shaoyuan's character, the tea in his mouth at this moment made him unable to say anything against his will, so he gave this eight-character comment.
At least at this moment, Zhang Changhuai even felt that the tea made by his adopted daughter Mu Wenqing seemed to be inferior to Cai Shaoyuan.
This is not self-effacing, but Zhang Changhuai’s truest feeling.
He would not really belittle his adopted daughter just to avoid suspicion. He even criticized Cai Shaoyuan for embracing Mrs. Wang.
“The color of the flowers, the fragrance of tea, and the taste of tea are almost perfect!”
Even Ge Yunhe, who has always been harsh, gave him a very high evaluation.
Even if this is not better than the tea brewed by Mu Wenqing, it is certainly not worse.
"Haha, Xiao Cai's and Wen Qing's teas have their own merits, but I still like Wen Qing's tea better!"
Another judge had a smile on his face, and the words he said made many people look a little weird.
If he wasn't already gray-haired and already in his sixties, some people might think that he was taking advantage of Mu Wenqing.
Fortunately, this is Zhang Changhuai's old friend, so he naturally won't think of anything else.
It is said that everyone has their own preference for radish and green vegetables, and there is no particular conclusion about tea.
For example, some people like to drink scented tea, some people like to drink black tea, and some people like dark tea, and so on.
In the end, both Zhang Changhuai and Ge Yunhe scored perfect scores of ten, while the other three judges each scored nine points, with a total score of forty-seven, just one point more than Mu Wenqing.
"47 points, it seems that Cai Shaoyuan is really going to become the dark horse of this tea tasting conference!"
Gao Cheng's face was full of emotion, and he glanced at the back of Mrs. Wang's head in front of him, and there must be a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
After all, Cai Shaoyuan belongs to Mrs. Wang, and he has enmity with the Wang family.
"The tea tasting party hasn't ended yet, who can say for sure?"
Shen Mu was a little disapproving, and the question was not disguised at all, causing many people to turn their attention to the last contestant participating in the tea tasting competition.
When they saw Ye Lan's somewhat unfamiliar face, they subconsciously shook their heads.
Even if this person is really proficient in tea ceremony, it is impossible to surpass Cai Shaoyuan's 47 points, right?
Even if it exceeds 40 points, many people don't have high expectations.
"No matter whether the duck is dead or not, it has the toughest mouth!"
Mrs. Wang, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but mocked.
At least in her mind, Ye Lan would definitely not be able to compare with Xiao Cai in the tea ceremony.
The expressions and words of praise from the judges just now said it all.
Ge Yunhe and Zhang Changhuai, in particular, were extremely strict about the tea ceremony and could not tolerate a grain of sand in their eyes.
This Ye Lan is just the owner of a small brokerage company. She has never even heard of her name before, let alone in this different field of tea ceremony.
It seems that this tea tasting conference, although there is still one last person to finish, seems to have a final result.
Some people are even thinking about how to congratulate Cai Shaoyuan so that they can establish relationships with the Wang family.
"call……"
At this moment, Ye Lan finally stood up and exhaled a long breath.
On the tea tray in front of her, five cups of steaming fragrant tea had already been placed.
"Please invite some teachers to taste it!"
At this moment, Ye Lan seemed to have completely lost her usual fiery and sassy character, and turned into extremely elegant, which made Shen Mu stunned.
Is this still the Sister Lan I know?
Although everyone believed that Cai Shaoyuan won the championship without any suspense, the tea tasting competition was not over after all.
We still need to go step by step and let the five judges taste Ye Lan's tea first before talking.
The girl in Hanfu came forward and picked up the tea tray in front of Ye Lan, but her face changed slightly at the next moment. She couldn't help but take a deep breath of the tea fragrance, looking a little intoxicated.
Seeing this scene, many onlookers couldn't help but feel moved.
After all, the girl in Hanfu had never shown such an expression when serving tea before, including those served by Mu Wenqing and Cai Shaoyuan.
This is a subconscious action and expression, and it is definitely not an act.
Besides, it is impossible for the staff of Longdu First Grade to have any secret operations with Ye Lan in advance.
What's more, this is just a staff member, and the final judgment has to be decided by five judges.
Even if she is intoxicated, can she affect the ratings of the five seniors?
"Ah...I'm sorry!"
After a while, the girl came back to her senses. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she quickly apologized.
Fortunately, his hands were very steady and the tea that Ye Lan had worked hard for nearly two hours was not wasted.
"Um?"
When the girl brought the five cups of tea to the five judges one by one, the reactions of the five people were no different from hers.
Even Ge Yunhe couldn't wait to pick up the teacup.
"Knew it!"
When Zhang Changhuai also picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea fragrance, he couldn't help but look at someone next to him again, which further confirmed his guess.
"This method of making tea, and the surname is Ye, it shouldn't be wrong!"
Zhang Changhuai turned around and took a deep look at Ye Lan.
He already had some answers in his mind, but in the end he refrained from asking. After all, there were so many outsiders.
Ye Lan didn't take the initiative to identify herself, and Shen Mu didn't seem to know either.
Zhang Changhuai is an old man and will naturally not do anything to make the other party unhappy. Just have tea today.
The other three people didn't care about the reaction of Zhang Changhuai and Zhang Changhuai at the moment, because they were all attracted by the fragrance of tea in their hands.
The aroma of this tea alone is unique and intoxicating. You can't help but immerse yourself in it and want to take a sip.
But I was afraid that I would drink it too quickly and waste this cup of fine tea.
No matter how untraditional and unusual Ye Lan's tea-making process was before, when they received this cup of tea, the five judges all knew that they were being narrow-minded.
At least in terms of tea aroma, the tea brewed by Ye Lan is well-deserved to be the first. Even onlookers can clearly see this.
The five judges seemed to be immersed in the fragrance of tea just like the girl in Hanfu.
It was not until a long time later that Ge Yunhe was the first to put the teacup to his lips and take a sip.
“Great tea!”
After taking this sip, Ge Yunhe couldn't help but praise it, and then took a second sip. It seemed that the wrinkles on his old face had relaxed a lot with these two sips of tea.
"The fragrance of the tea in the first sip has not dissipated, and the fragrance of the tea in the second sip continues to fill the air. Then take the third sip, tsk tsk..."
Zhang Changhuai also shook his head. Although he did not say any exact words of praise, everyone could hear what he meant, which was really beyond words.
It was obvious that the tea Ye Lan brewed had different tastes from the first sip to the second sip, and even from the third sip.
Especially when three mouths are stacked, it is a completely different feeling.
This may be the unique secret method of Ye's tea ceremony, and it is also a unique method of tea tasting.
Several others were reminded by Zhang Changhuai and all learned this method.
After drinking it, I had a brand new feeling, which was a step up from the previous experience.
At this time, Wang Yunjian had also come to his senses. The look on his face was a little tangled, and then he looked at one of the judges over there, and then immediately turned away.
To be honest, if we put aside the relationship between Ye Lan and Shen Mu, or the relationship between Cai Shaoyuan and Wang Tai, Wang Yunjian really feels that Ye Lan's tea is better than Cai Shaoyuan's.
It's a pity that Wang Yunjian is not as upright as Ge Yunhe and Zhang Changhuai.
Even if he knows that Ye Lan's tea is better, for some reasons, his final rating may be idealistic.
Looking at the looks of Zhang Changhuai and the other three, I'm afraid they are all wondering why the highest score is only ten points?
The tea brewed by Ye Lan has obviously surpassed the tea ceremony in the traditional sense.
Obviously these three can't escape the perfect score.
In order for Cai Shaoyuan to get the first place, and also to prevent Ye Lan from getting the first place, the glances that Wang Yunjian and a certain judge just exchanged were undoubtedly some kind of unknown communication.
"10 points!"
"10 points!"
"10 points!"
As Wang Yunjian expected, Ge Yunhe, Zhang Changhuai and another judge all gave perfect scores of ten.
Judging from the number of perfect scores, it is already one more than Cai Shaoyuan.
Next, as long as Wang Yunjian and the remaining judge give nine points each, even if they don't give a perfect score of ten, they can surpass Cai Shaoyuan and win the championship of this tea tasting competition.
This was something that no one had thought of beforehand, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Lan.
Their eyes were extremely complex and somewhat admiring.
Even Mu Wenqing, who had a slight disagreement with Ye Lan before, is now convinced.
She had always believed that her adoptive father would not be emotional during the tea ceremony.
In this case, Ye Lan must make better tea than her, Mu Wenqing, and defeat her, Mu Wenqing, in this field and convince her.
Gao Yuning had known Ye Lan for a long time, but now it was like meeting him for the first time. He stared at the usually carefree Sister Lan with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
On the contrary, Cai Shaoyuan, who might be surpassed, seemed unusually calm at this time.
He even glanced at Ye Lan provocatively, as if he wasn't afraid of losing the championship at all.
"It seems that the champion of this tea tasting competition is none other than Ye Lan!"
Gao Cheng, who was sitting next to Shen Mu, had a face filled with emotion.
He had never thought of such a result before, but three perfect scores showed that Ye Lan definitely had the ability to win the championship.
"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case!"
Shen Mu glanced at Cai Shaoyuan, then at Mrs. Wang in front, and said softly: "Never underestimate the shamelessness of some people!"
This last sentence made Gao Cheng's heart skip a beat. Thinking about his similar experiences with Shen Mu, his mood sank again.
