The Legend of Immortal Yun

This aroma can be said to be the first to grab the attention, adding endless charm to this tea!

Xiong Laoer's expression was extremely focused, with a look of admiration on his face like a pilgrim. Yes, this is a manifestation of a person's desire to seek the Tao. On the road to seeking the Tao, only concentration, piety, and awe can overcome countless obstacles. Take every step firmly to overcome the demonic obstacles!

The first pass of tea filtered through every aroma cup and every tea cup, making them suddenly appear watery and emitting a trace of mist. However, of course, this tea will not be drunk, but will be consumed by Xiong Laoer alone. Collect into another container.

In fact, the main function of this first pass of tea is to wake up the tea leaves and warm the utensils.

You must know that this tea cake has been sleeping in the dust for more than 30,000 years. Although it was nourished by Xiong Laoer's spiritual mist and woke up just now, it has not been completely awakened. At this time, use the boiling mountain spring water to bring it to life again. Soak it once so that all the tea molecules absorb enough water. Finally, you can completely awaken your vitality, stretch your branches and leaves, and dedicate your most precious essence!

Sure enough, when the tea was in its best condition, Xiong Laoer took action again and poured mountain spring water into the clay teapot for the second time. This time it was indeed very different from the previous one. The aroma spread out like a spring, like a fragrant wind blowing by. , it is extremely intoxicating, some people with poor concentration and low cultivation level actually get drunk under the blowing of this fragrance!

Xiong Laoer controlled the teapot and filled a hundred scented cups to the rim at an extremely fast speed. Then, he flipped the hundred teacups onto the scented cups, and then reversed them again. It turns into a scent cup and is placed upside down on the tea cup. At this time, the tea soup is tightly held in the scent cup, without a drop leaking out...

Why is this?

The answer lies in Xiong Laoer's next action. With a wave of his hand, he pushed the hundred sets of cups and coasters in the air in front of the hundred judges, and saluted: "Masters, please taste!"

The judges had been waiting for this moment for a long time. They took the coasters of the set of cups in front of them and carefully observed the positions of the tea cup and the scent cup. Some people had already stretched out their hands, gently turned the scent cup, and gently Pick it up lightly!

With a "swipe", I saw that the tea soup that was originally fastened in the cup leaked out and poured into the tea cup on the coaster!

The portion is just right, the tea soup is about 80% of the height of the tea cup.

This is also a rule in the tea ceremony. As the saying goes, if you drink too much wine, you will respect your guests, and if you drink too much tea, you will bully your guests. When giving tea to someone, you must not fill the teacup to the fullest. That is disrespectful to the guests!

Sometimes, if you deliberately serve a full cup of tea to a guest, it most likely means seeing off the guest. If the guest knows better, he will not drink the cup of tea, but get up and leave.

Xiong Laoer is familiar with this kind of tea ceremony etiquette, so he will naturally not make this small mistake.

With the aroma cup in hand, this is the best time to appreciate the aroma of tea, because the tea soup has soaked into the cup, and the cup is full of tea aroma. As long as you blow gently into it, you will be filled with it. The aroma of tea overflows and hits your nose!

These judges enjoyed the aroma of tea, but they were not intoxicated by it. Instead, they had to distinguish the thickness of the aroma, whether it was fragrant or agarwood. The so-called fragrant fragrance means that the aroma of this tea is very light, and it smells like It is very high, but in fact, the fragrance cannot be retained at all and dissipates quickly. Of course, such a fragrance is superficial and insufficient. In the eyes of the judges, it is simply a fake fragrance.

Of course, the darker the aroma, the better. The darker the aroma will be stored on the wall and bottom of the cup for a long time. This is the principle behind the so-called three days around the beam.

Experienced judges can judge how deep, thick and heavy the aroma is, as well as the type and flavor of the aroma based on the scent of the scent cup.

For example, some tea trees grow in the mountains, and they have the atmosphere of the mountains.

If there are many wild flowers in this area, it may have a special floral fragrance. This floral fragrance is not necessarily injected from the flowers outside, but has penetrated deep into the tea tree and become a part of it, so the tea naturally has a floral fragrance!

Such floral aromas are of course extremely precious, and what’s even more valuable is that some of them also contain honey aroma. These teas are rich in quality, and the ingredients in them are rich in sugar substances, so they have honey sweetness. Therefore, this tea is Aroma is just a way to open the way. What true tea drinkers hope most is to taste the essence of tea, including the floral and honey aroma!

Sure enough, Yuanchanghao tea is indeed extraordinary. Its aroma is high but not dissipated. Just smelling the cup is enough to keep people smelling it for three days and three nights, and it is still full of fragrance. The fragrance is long and lingering, leaving people with endless aftertaste...

Take a closer look at the color of the soup. It is green and yellow, translucent, and thick as silk. When the sun shines on it, it becomes as smooth as silk. It is pleasing to the eye and moves your index finger!

The judges began to taste, but it was unclear how they felt. Everyone stared at them closely, guessing their feelings at this time...

Of course, Xiong Laoer was also a little nervous. After all, this was a competition, not his usual tasting. At this time, his fate was in the hands of these people, so he felt that his palms were almost sweating...

After a while, the judges began to show their votes. Some took out the approval cards, some took out the objection cards, and some took out the abstention cards. However, only two people took out the abstention cards, and one of them turned out to be from Bronze Qinghe Star!

This situation made everyone stunned. They did not expect that Tongqinghe Star finally had two judges, but one of them had not voted in favor. This made Xiong Laoer, who was also from Tongqinghe Star, feel extremely incredible!

Soon, the results came out, and a judge came out and announced that Xiong Laoer's tea ceremony record was fifty-eight votes in favor, two abstentions, and forty votes against.

Xiong Laoer shook his head secretly. This result was worse than his first round. According to his own estimation, he still got a good result despite making mistakes in the first round. This round should be better. Unexpectedly, the reality was harsh. He slapped him hard, making him feel a little dizzy.

Especially the star judge who showed the waiver card, what happened?

He remembered that in the first round, the two local judges showed their support cards, but one of them abstained in this round, which was really speechless...

It can be seen that the water in the tea competition is extremely deep, and nothing can be taken for granted. It is almost impossible to figure out the ditches and intricate relationships within it. The abnormal behavior of this judge alone may make this bet appear. Shocking results…

Xiong Laoer put away his tea set, bowed in circles, and walked down the field in despair. With a long laugh, a figure came up. He was the Pujie of the Yushu. He was handsome, like a jade tree facing the wind, radiant and dazzling, making people suddenly wake up. My eyes light up!

Pu Jie said the opening remarks with a smile, and then quickly started to demonstrate his tea ceremony...

But in the audience, the scene just now has not dissipated. Many people are still talking about the votes of the judges. In particular, the abnormal behavior of the judge Tongqing Hexing made him the focus of everyone's discussion!

Even Li Yun felt a little surprised, but Xiaoxing said: "This is not surprising..."

"But why?"

"Many people may think that this judge's action is to confuse Xiong Lao Er. In fact, this is not the case. He is actually helping Xiong Lao Er by doing this!" Xiao Xing said in shock.

"You mean...he is helping Xiong Laoer? It seems reasonable!!!" Li Yun said thoughtfully.

"Hey, sir, you should have thought that there are only two judges for Tongqing River Star, while there are five judges for Xigui Star. This is seriously unequal! If everyone votes according to the principle of the star, then Mr. Xiong Er will lose three votes less than Pu Jie from the beginning, this disadvantage is almost fatal!" Xiaoxing laughed.

Li Yun nodded and said: "That's right! So this judge took such an unusual move to put pressure on the other five judges. What he meant was that you see, I am Xiong Laoer's native, but I also I didn’t vote for him because I am fair, I vote when I should, and I don’t vote when I shouldn’t. I hope you can do the same!”

"Of course! This is the journey of this judge. Of course, this should also be the strategy they discussed. As long as this method can kill the opponent's two votes, then they will earn at least one vote!" Xiaoxing laughed.

Li Yun couldn't help but sigh: "The contestants on the field are competing, and the judges off the field are also competing with each other. Such a competition is indeed full of attractions, dazzling, and emotionally ups and downs..."

"That's what makes it interesting. Otherwise, if it's just a pool of stagnant water, it's better not to compete!"

"That makes sense!"

The two took a closer look at Pu Jie's display and found that the utensils he used were different from Xiong Laoer. He used metal pots, metal stoves, metal cups, etc. It was obvious that Pu Jie's spiritual root factor should contain metallic properties. .

The same operation is done in a standing position, but Pu Jie's movements look more pleasing to the eye, like flowing clouds and flowing water, retracting and releasing freely...

It seems that appearance is also related to Taoism. The two seem to be positively correlated...

However, in the eyes of Li Yun and Xiao Xing, these operations will only have greater significance if their tea soup levels are similar. The most important thing is the final tea soup. If it is really good tea, one cup can definitely make the difference!

It can be understood that all the previous preparations are for the final tea soup, especially in competitions.

If you usually taste tea by yourself, then the process of operating the tea ceremony is actually a process of self-cultivation and enjoyment, and many people will also enjoy it. However, in a competition, the purpose of both parties is to ultimately defeat their opponents. After performing the tea ceremony, they will ultimately give the judges The tea soup served is the most important bargaining chip!

Success or failure, it all depends on this!

Almost everyone is watching how Pu Jie performs on the field. In addition to the people on the scene, there are countless people behind the scenes, including the operators of various betting markets. After all, this is the central arena, and its influence is huge. Can it be performed in the central arena? It is also the dream of many people to practice their own tea ceremony...
