Zhang Changhuai, who had just stood up, suddenly saw that the young director Shen Mu also stood up from his seat and slowly walked towards an empty tea-making seat.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Zhang Changhuai, and naturally they were attracted by his eyes and turned to the young director.
Everyone's eyes were a little surprised.
"Does this kid also want to make tea?"
There was a glint in Wang Yunjian's eyes. Although he had no contact with Shen Mu, his first impression outside was not very good.
In addition, Mrs. Wang often slanders Shen Mu in front of him. Even if he knows what kind of person his ex-wife is, he thinks that Shen Mu does not know how high the sky is and how high he is.
It's not good for you to offend anyone, but you want to offend the Wang family. Aren't you blind?
"Shen Mu, what are you doing?"
Ye Lan, who was feeling a little depressed just now, followed Zhang Changhuai's gaze and saw Shen Mu's movements, and couldn't help but ask.
She didn't think Shen Mu really knew how to do tea ceremony.
Ye Lan has known Shen Mu for more than a year. At least in her impression, this guy is a very capable writer and director, but he cannot compliment him in other aspects.
Oh, maybe he is also good at Go.
But at least in this tea dish, Ye Lan has never seen Shen Mu show any talent.
"What are you doing? Of course I'm taking it out on you!"
At this moment, Shen Mu had walked behind an empty tea seat.
While he was playing with the tea set, a strange smile appeared on his face, allowing everyone to hear what he said clearly.
"Some people just like to make these unspoken rules that cannot be put on the table. Today I want to let them know that there is a gap between tea ceremony skills. Sometimes there is no need to look at the scores!"
Shen Mu's eyes suddenly turned to the judges' seat, and the words coming out of his mouth seemed to have some meaning and contained some hidden sarcasm.
Although he didn't name him by name, the two adjectives "not on the stage" and "hidden rules" made everyone subconsciously guess who he was talking about.
Shen Mu was speaking to vent his anger for Ye Lan, while also saying that some people were not allowed to stand on the stage. He almost pointed his finger at Wang Yunjian and another judge and scolded them.
"Shen Mu, do you want to show off your tea art?"
At this moment, none of the five judges spoke, but Mu Wenqing, who had seen Shen Mu Niuyin, widened his beautiful eyes and asked in disbelief.
At least in Mu Wenqing's impression, Shen Mu knew nothing about tea ceremony.
The other party's understanding of tea still rests on the most basic word "quenching thirst".
Previously in another tea room, Mu Wenqing had seen Shen Mu drinking tea with his own eyes.
No matter how you look at it, this guy doesn't look like a person who knows tea ceremony, or even a refined scholar who knows how to taste tea.
Therefore, Mu Wenqing didn't know what was wrong with Shen Mu, because he wanted to be embarrassed in front of so many tea ceremony masters.
Is it really just out of spite and wanting to vent some bad anger on Ye Lan's behalf?
But venting your anger also requires strength. The judges present today are all tea ceremony seniors. They have studied tea ceremony all their lives, and they cannot be fooled by just making some tea.
Especially Wang Yunjian and another judge were obviously wearing the same pair of pants.
You, Shen Mu, offended these two to death before you even started making tea, so what hope do you have?
"yes!"
Shen Mu first nodded to Mu Wenqing, then turned his attention to the judges' table and asked: "Judges, are you okay?"
After all, this was someone else's territory, and it was a tea tasting party held by someone else. It was against the rules for Shen Mu to appear here just now, so he had to ask this question.
"What did you do early?"
The judge who had a good relationship with Wang Yunjian spoke with a sullen face, and heard him say: "You think we are all idle, right? We are here to play with you alone?"
"It's still early for dinner anyway, so it doesn't hurt to take a look!"
Zhang Changhuai smiled and smoothed things over. He had a good relationship with Shen Mu and had invested in the follow-up series of Langya Bang. Naturally, he wanted to help with the conversation at this time.
"Director Zhang, this is a tea tasting conference. Do you really think that cats and dogs can show off their tea skills?"
Wang Yunjian's face also darkened. Now that he saw Shen Mu's face, he felt disgusted and couldn't help but want to suppress it. What he said was quite rude.
"What Director Wang said is a bit narrow-minded. The purpose of the tea tasting conference is to be open to all rivers. How can you judge that he is not good at tea ceremony before he has even started making tea?"
Another judge, the one who just gave Ye Lan perfect marks, smiled and spoke.
Although his tone was polite, he refuted Wang Yunjian's remarks, causing many people to nod.
The tea tasting conference seems to have a lot of rules, but there are no restrictions on those who want to participate in the tea tasting conference. Anyone can participate.
It's just that those who are not good at tea ceremony will naturally not expose their shortcomings easily.
If your score is too low at that time, you will still be the one to be embarrassed.
There is no problem with Shen Mu's identity. The only thing that makes people dissatisfied is that he comes on stage after everyone has finished showing off.
Doesn't this waste everyone's time?
"There are five judges, two are in favor and two are against, it all depends on Mr. Ge's choice!"
Seeing that the judges' table was divided into two groups, and hearing the words of both sides, everyone turned their attention to Ge Yunhe.
This person may be able to decide whether Shen Mu can demonstrate tea art.
When they were outside before, many people saw Shen Mu and Ge Yunhe having conflicts.
The two sides had a few quarrels over Go, and the relationship was not very good.
"Mr. Ge, you don't really think that a young boy can know anything about tea art, do you?"
Wang Yunjian also turned his attention to Ge Yunhe and added fuel to the fire at the right time.
He felt that given this person's hatred for Shen Mu, he should be on his side.
"In terms of age, Cai Shaoyuan should be younger than Shen Mu, right?"
Unexpectedly, Ge Yunhe rolled his eyes strangely and said something in his mouth. It seemed that he was still a little bit worried about Cai Shaoyuan's previous victory, which made Wang Yunjian feel a little bad.
In fact, Ge Yunhe does not have a good impression of Shen Mu, but the difference between him and Shen Mu is just a matter of chess playing.
But what Wang Yunjian, Cai Shaoyuan and others did made him feel even more contemptible.
If someone really stood up and defeated Cai Shaoyuan in the tea ceremony, it would undoubtedly be a joy to see for Ge Yunhe.
But when he thought about Wang Yunjian and another judge being there, Ge Yunhe felt that Shen Mu's desire to surpass Cai Shaoyuan was tantamount to fantasy.
But as long as he can add some trouble to guys like Wang Yunjian, Ge Yunhe feels a little happy.
It seems that even that annoying Shen Mu has become a bit more pleasing to the eye.
"Half an hour!"
But at this moment, just when Ge Yunhe was about to speak, Shen Mu over there spoke again.
"I will finish it within half an hour, so I won't waste too much time on everyone!"
The explanation that followed from Shen Mu's mouth caused an uproar in the hall.
A sneer appeared on the faces of Wang Yunjian and the judge.
"It seems like this kid really doesn't understand tea, so what else can he show?"
Wang Jue in the audience sneered, seeming to think that it was a waste of time for everyone to watch such a guy make tea.
Even Zhang Changhuai and the other two shook their heads helplessly.
You must know that tea art is an extremely tedious process and cannot be completed in half an hour.
Among the seven people who participated in the tea tasting conference, the fastest one took nearly an hour and a half, and Ye Lan, who took the longest, even took nearly two hours.
Every step of the process is similar, but Shen Mu suddenly jumped out and said that he could do it in half an hour, which made these tea ceremony masters think that he was bragging.
"It's only for half an hour, let's just watch the fun, how about it?"
Shen Mu glanced at Wang Jue indifferently, and then looked around. His words were quite self-deprecating, but it made it difficult for everyone to say anything more.
"Okay, I'll give you half an hour!"
Ge Yunhe, who was still a little hesitant at first, finally made up his mind at this time.
He believed that if Shen Mu decided this time, Wang Yunjian and the others would no longer be able to speak against it.
"Hmph, I want to see what he can cook in just half an hour?"
Sure enough, Wang Yunjian had already corrected his mentality at this time, from not wanting Shen Mu to play just now to wanting to taunt Shen Mu forcefully during the tea course.
It would be fun if the tea you brewed later was difficult to drink and all five judges gave it a zero.
"Shen Mu, how about... let's forget it?"
Ye Lan looked at Shen Mu over there and was a little moved, but also a little worried, and couldn't help but give some advice.
After all, based on her understanding of Shen Mu, it seems that this guy has never learned tea ceremony, right?
Therefore, in Ye Lan's mind, she subconsciously felt that Shen Mu really wanted to take a breath of relief for herself, perhaps because of her thoughts about the black Er tea cake.
"Don't worry, that thirty-year-old black Err will definitely be delivered to our grandpa!"
Shen Mu cast a comforting look at Ye Lan, but after saying these words, Ye Lan was moved and even more worried.
"Shameless talk!"
At this time, Cai Shaoyuan finally couldn't help but said four words.
Because Shen Mu said that he was the only one to win the thirty-year-old black beer, wouldn't he want to steal Cai Shaoyuan's championship from him?
It really doesn't matter to Cai Shaoyuan whether he can get the black Er.
Anyway, I finally got it and gave it to Wang Jue, who gave it to his grandfather as a favor.
What Cai Shaoyuan wants is a versatile character.
If the winner of the tea tasting competition is about to fly away from your hands and you can only get second place, the effect will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Cai Shaoyuan will not believe that Shen Mu is really proficient in tea ceremony. If this guy is good at tea ceremony, why should he wait until this time to end?
It was obvious that in Cai Shaoyuan's mind, Shen Mu also wanted to complain about Ye Lan's injustice, so he was just messing around at this time to add some trouble to them.
But what's the use?
Isn't it you, Shen Mu, who is ultimately embarrassed?
