Qin Feng picked up the tea pot and looked at it carefully, then brought it up to his nose and smelled it carefully, nodded and said: "Well, this tea has a thick shape, even and straight shape, and has a natural floral fragrance. The fragrance is clear and sharp, and it leaves a lasting impression.
Long-lasting fragrance, good tea, good tea.”
Hearing Qin Feng's comments, Cao Guozheng smiled, a little surprised, and said, "I didn't expect you to really understand tea."
Do you know the name of this tea?"
Qin Feng said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry to tell you the name of this tea, because now I just look at the appearance and aroma of the tea leaves, and I still need the cooperation of tea art. I can't finalize it until I taste the final tea soup."
Cao Guozheng nodded again. To be able to be so unhurried and unhurried even though he had already recognized the tea, Qin Feng's mentality was very good. This boy was by no means the king of the pool.
Qin Feng said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, can you give me the seat of honor first? Since you want to appreciate my tea art, you have to give up your seat."
Cao Guozheng's desk is very large. The desk and the tea table are integrated into a whole and closely connected.
After Qin Feng finished speaking, Cao Guozheng stood up with a smile and gave up his seat to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng stood in front of the tea art table, picked up the teapot and looked at it carefully for a while, gave a thumbs up and said: "This purple clay teapot is the best. This teapot looks elegant and refined in style, with a smooth and flexible shape. Although it does not pursue skillful craftsmanship,
But the craftsmanship is unique, simple and elegant, and it is incredible. If my guess is correct, it should be a masterpiece of Shi Dabin, a master of purple clay pots in the Ming Dynasty, and it is worth a lot of money."
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he looked at Cao Guozheng with a smile.
If at the beginning Cao Guozheng treated Qin Feng with the intention of letting Qin Feng retreat before the difficulties, then at this moment, he was really intrigued by Qin Feng.
This purple clay teapot has been on his desk for a long time, but there are very few people who can really identify the age and maker of this purple clay teapot with just a few glances, especially since Qin Feng only looked at the appearance of this teapot.
He did not look at the bell mark on the bottom of the pot or inside the pot, which shows that Qin Feng determined the origin of the purple clay pot just by looking at its artistic shape and details, even though he had just bought it.
When the pot was made, many experts in the antique appraisal industry were hired to conduct a collective appraisal before it was finally confirmed that it was authentic. However, Qin Feng was able to directly determine the origin of this pot in such a short period of time. His knowledge reserve was
The richness is evident.
Cao Guozheng gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Little friend Qin Feng, you are not simple. You are right. This pot is the work of Shi Dabin."
Xue Jiahui was really shocked at this moment. Her beautiful eyes looked at Qin Feng with an incredible look in her eyes.
Although she knew that Qin Feng was very talented, especially in studies. When Qin Feng was studying in school, he ranked first in almost every subject, without exception.
But that was study, but now, Qin Feng actually had such a rich reserve of extracurricular knowledge, how could she not be shocked.
Qin Feng was unfazed by Cao Guozheng's praise. He poured the mineral water into the hot water kettle without haste. After boiling it, he poured the boiling water on the purple clay pot and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, look at me.
Is recruiting Meng Chen Linlin still standard?"
There was a look of shock in Cao Guozheng's eyes, because Qin Feng's performance was very professional, and the person who could speak such standard terms as Meng Chen Linlin was definitely a master of Kung Fu and Tea Ceremony. He smiled slightly and nodded: "Standard
.”
After Qin Feng warmed the pot, he used a teaspoon to put the tea leaves into the teapot. The order of filling the tea should be thin first, then thick, then the tea stems. Then pour the water into the purple clay pot until the mouth of the pot is full."
Xue Jiahui smiled and said: "Qin Feng, is there anything special about these two actions?"
Qin Feng nodded: "This first movement is called Oolong Entering the Palace, and the second movement is called Hanging Pot and High Rush. Now let's move on to the third movement of Spring Breeze."
While talking, Qin Feng used the lid to gently scrape off the foam on the mouth of the pot, then re-covered the lid and washed away the foam on the top of the pot. When pouring the pot, Qin Feng was very careful and only rinsed the lid and body.
, avoid splashing on the air holes, otherwise water will rush into the pot.
Seeing this, the expression on Cao Guozheng's face could no longer be described as shock, but appreciation. He continued to test Qin Feng with a smile and asked: "Qin Feng, I don't know what the purpose of your third move of Spring Breeze is.
?”
Xue Jiahui also looked at Qin Feng with doubts.
Qin Feng explained with a smile: "There are two purposes of pouring the pot this time. One is to clean the pot, and the other is to heat the inside and outside of the pot to facilitate the tea aroma."
After finishing speaking, Qin Feng quickly poured out the water from the pot and explained while doing so: "This technique is called fumigating the fairy face, also called washing the tea. The purpose is to wash away the floating dust on the surface of the tea leaves."
Afterwards, Qin Feng once again carried the hot water kettle and filled the kettle with boiling water again using the high-pressure method. He said with a smile: "This move is called Jade Liquid Returning to the Pot, and the next two moves are Ruochen's taking a bath and traveling around the mountains and rivers.
"
As he spoke, Qin Feng turned the cup body, like a flywheel spinning, and like flying flowers dancing happily, and used the first tea water to scald the cup. Then he held the pot and rotated it along the tea boat to remove the water droplets from the bottom of the pot to prevent them from falling into the cup.
in, affecting the holiness of tea.
Looking at Qin Feng's smooth and skillful movements, the admiration in Cao Guozheng's eyes became stronger and stronger. Qin Feng's movements at this moment were more cumbersome and standard than his usual hospitality, and his operation level had reached a professional level.
level.
Under the gazes of Cao Guozheng and Xue Jiahui, Qin Feng opened the lid of the purple clay pot, boiled the kettle with his hand, moved the pot from high to low, and repeated the process of flushing the water three times. However, he saw that the tea leaves were tumbling inside the pot due to the change in brewing intensity.
The substances contained in the tea leaves are quickly leached out, and the concentration of the tea soup becomes very even.
Xue Jiahui asked: "Qin Feng, what is this move called?"
Qin Feng said: "This move makes Phoenix nod. It is not only to express respect to the guests, but also to make the concentration of the tea soup even."
After that, Qin Feng picked up the three teacups on the tea table, lowered the purple clay pot and poured tea into the teacups. The teapot looked like Guan Yu who was patrolling the city."
Qin Feng said with a smile: "This trick is called Guan Gong's Patrolling the City. The purpose is to make the tea soup in the cup the same consistency, and to pour it low to prevent the aroma from being lost too much."
As he spoke, Qin Feng poured the remaining contents of the pot into each cup. These are the essence of the whole pot of tea soup and should be poured evenly drop by drop. After completing this step, Qin Feng explained: "This trick
Ask Han Xin to order troops."
Xue Jiahui smiled and said: "These two names are very vivid."
After pouring the tea, Qin Feng brought one cup to Cao Guozheng and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Cao, please have some tea."
Seeing this, Cao Guozheng did not go to taste the tea, but looked at Qin Feng with a smile and said: "Qin Feng, your tea art level is very high, which is enough to shock me. Now can you tell me the name of this tea?"
?”
Qin Feng smiled and nodded. He picked up a cup of tea and brought it to his nose to smell the aroma of the tea. Then he held the rim of the cup with his thumb and index finger and took a few sips. Then he said with a smile: "This is
When you first smell the tea, you can discern the elegant and noble aroma of natural flowers. The aroma is rich, the tea soup is orange, clear and bright, and the entrance is sweet, refreshing, and sweet aftertaste. This reminds me of a couplet: "I would like to be a guest of the Phoenix Tea Mountain, and not be drunk with apricot flowers."
Fairy."
After finishing speaking, Qin Feng looked at Cao Guozheng with a smile and said, "Mr. Cao, you are quite satisfied with my answer."
Cao Guozheng nodded with satisfaction.
Xue Jiahui was still a little puzzled. She glared at Qin Feng dissatisfiedly and said, "Qin Feng, what kind of riddle are you playing? What kind of tea is this?"
Qin Feng said with a smile: "The name of this tea is Fenghuang Dancong! It is produced in Fenghuang Town, Chao'an District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. It is a semi-fermented oolong tea."
Xue Jiahui suddenly realized it, and quickly looked at Cao Guozheng and said: "Mr. Cao, do you think you can take us to see Chairman Cao now?"
Cao Guozheng nodded: "Okay, I really didn't expect that little friend Qin Feng would have such a profound understanding of tea ceremony. Please wait a moment. I'm going to see my brother. I believe he will be happy to see you."
As he spoke, Cao Guozheng stood up and walked out.
After Cao Guozheng left, Xue Jiahui pinched Qin Feng and said, "Qin Feng, when did you know so much about tea ceremony? Why haven't I seen you show it before?"
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, today is a coincidence. If the tea he brought out was not this Phoenix Dancong but another tea, I might not be able to recognize it. But what a coincidence is that I have been to Chaozhou Tea in Guangdong Province.
In Fenghuang Town, An District, there are beautiful peaks, thousands of valleys and rivers, green mountains and green waters, and clouds surrounding the peaks. Only the natural conditions there can produce such high-quality tea.
At that time, when my mother took me to travel around the world, she stayed there for a whole month just because of this Phoenix Dancong tea, and my tea art skills were really honed there."
Xue Jiahui's eyes showed envy and she said: "It seems that you really have read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles."
Qin Feng nodded with deep understanding.
Xue Jiahui said: "I don't know why Xiao Cao always sets such a weird test for us. I don't know if Cao Guoming can see us. If we can't see Cao Guoming, our previous efforts will be in vain.
"
At this moment, in the chairman's office.
Cao Guoming was sitting at the coffee table, puffing away smoke and frowning.
Opposite Cao Guoming, Cao Guozheng was reporting on the process of testing Qin Feng just now.
After Cao Guozheng finished speaking, the sadness on Cao Guoming's face suddenly faded a lot. He put out the cigarette butt, stood up and said excitedly: "Our little Bei'an City actually hides such an expert.
I need to get to know him well. Maybe he is the noble man in life that the old man told me."
As he said that, Cao Guoming wanted to get up and walk out, but was stopped by Cao Guozheng. Cao Guozheng said: "Brother, don't worry first. Is he the noble man that the old Taoist said? You can't do it easily now."
Conclusion, however, this young man’s understanding of tea ceremony is indeed very unique and brilliant.
However, I don’t think we can act rashly. After all, tomorrow morning, Koizumi Saburo, the president of Japan’s NHG Tea Group Asia, will bring their group’s top tea master Miyamoto Musashi directly to the headquarters of our Yougu Group to play. If we lose to
If they say so, not only will we not be able to covet the Japanese, European and American tea markets, but we will also have to give up part of the market share we have gained in China to them.
This is a critical battle related to the life and death of our Rivendale Group. This battle is crucial to us.
Therefore, we must proceed with caution.
Brother, didn’t you set up three tests for us to select talents before?
I think we should continue to adhere to this standard when treating Qin Feng. If Qin Feng can really pass these three tests, then he is likely to be the nobleman of our Cao family predicted by the bastard old Taoist. But if he cannot pass
These three tests can only be said to be destined to each other."
Cao Guoming calmed down immediately, nodded quickly, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, I was indeed a little anxious just now.
But Guozheng, you should know that so far, more than 20 people have been invited to take part in the three tests I set. Those people are all top tea masters in the country, and they are all in their 40s.
Over the age of 20, so many of their masters cannot even pass the second level. Can a person like Qin Feng, who is only in his early 20s, pass our test? I guess it will be difficult."
Cao Guozheng said with a hint of strangeness on his face: "Brother, I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that wherever Qin Feng stops, I can't see through him.
Apart from anything else, the level of tea art he displayed today is not inferior to those of the top tea masters we have seen. Moreover, he can easily determine the origin and characteristics of Phoenix Dancong tea.
, this is enough to show that this young man is not simple.
I think we should give him a chance."
Cao Guoming nodded: "That makes sense."
After finishing speaking, Cao Guoming suddenly asked: "By the way, Guozheng, where did you find this little guy? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
Cao Guozheng slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I've forgotten all about this. Brother, don't you know, I didn't find this little guy, but he brought him to the door himself."
Cao Guoming's face suddenly became solemn, and he frowned and said, "Could this guy be a commercial spy sent by Japan's NHG Group to lurk? There are many Japanese who use similar tricks."
Cao Guozheng shook his head quickly and said: "Brother, you are a little too worried. This kid Qin Feng can never be a commercial spy. He is a sales representative of Xue's Hongyuan Electronics Company, a subsidiary of Xue's Group. He ran over and wanted to
He wants to see you because he wants to get an 8 million switching power supply order recently issued by our Yougu Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd."
Cao Guoming then sat back, nodded and said: "In that case, let him come in and try. If he can pass our three tests, let alone an order of 8 million, an order of 80 million will be enough."
No problem. But if you fail the test, then go back to where you came from."
Cao Guozheng nodded, returned to his office, looked at Qin Feng with a smile and said: "Qin Feng, please wait a moment, my elder brother will meet you in 10 minutes, but if you want to talk to him, you need to go through
Only three tests are enough?"
Xue Jiahui's eyes widened and she said: "Mr. Cao, are you kidding me? Do you have to go through many tests to negotiate a business? Why do I feel that this is more complicated than our interview?"
Cao Guozheng smiled and said: "There is no way. My eldest brother has a weird personality and is independent. If you don't have the confidence, you can choose to leave now. In this case, it will not affect your company's participation in the bidding meeting of Yougu Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. tomorrow.
.Of course, if you can pass the following three tests, everything will be easy to discuss."
Qin Feng straightened his back and said, "Okay, we have passed these three levels."
At this moment, Qin Feng has no way out. For him, in order to save his mother Qin Ruijie, he has to go through not only three levels, but also thirty levels.
Xue Jiahui's face was full of tension and anxiety, and she secretly prayed in her heart: "I hope these three levels will not be too complicated, and Qin Feng will not have any accidents in this project. This is related to the life safety of my future mother-in-law."
Thinking of the words future mother-in-law, Xue Jiahui blushed.
Qin Feng happened to look up and saw Xue Jiahui at this moment, with bright eyes and white teeth, a blush on her face, and she was extremely beautiful.
The reason why Xue Jiahui knew Qin Feng's purpose of entering the Xue Group was that when the two met by chance on the night when they had dinner together, Qin Feng had already told him that he entered the Xue Group to get the ancient book "Tao Te Ching" in Xue Zhenqiang's hands.
Used in exchange for my mother who was kidnapped by someone unknown.
