Chapter 112: Tea Ceremony Contest for Four People
The next morning, it was another good day, although it was the same as usual, but it was a very important day for Jiang Mengyao, that was because she was going to participate in the tea ceremony competition in the afternoon, yesterday Ikebana Sun Yingying won the exchange group of Fusang Country, such a result made her very happy, but she will not lose, because she will not be worse than Sun Yingying!
Many students in the school are still discussing yesterday's competition, Sun Yingying has completely become a celebrity, during the morning recess, there are many people who come to Sun Yingying, and some seniors also send flowers directly, during the game, Sun Yingying's smile shocked many people, of course, there are not a few people who are fascinated!
"You're on fire......" Seeing such a situation, Zhao Dezhu teased.
"I don't even know how to deal with it, it's all thanks to you!" gave Zhao Dezhu a roll of his eyes, Sun Yingying said with a smile.
Looking at Sun Yingying and Zhao Dezhu who were talking and laughing not far away, Jiang Mengyao didn't know why she was a little uncomfortable, she actually hated Zhao Dezhu very much, but even so, she didn't want Zhao Dezhu to get too close to Sun Yingying, because ...... Because of what how she knows, annoyed to death!
"Yaoyao, do you have confidence in the afternoon?" At this time, Liu Kexin patted Jiang Mengyao and asked.
"Bibi try!" Jiang Mengyao replied vaguely and didn't say anything more, her mind at this time was not on the afternoon game, but looking at Zhao Dezhu and Sun Yingying, she just felt very eyesore!
Soon, the afternoon game is coming, just like yesterday, the school auditorium was already full at one o'clock, everyone is looking forward to today's game, which is completely different from yesterday's mood, I always feel that these projects are concerned, Fusang has an absolute advantage, and their hope of winning is too slim, but yesterday's Sun Yingying gave everyone a shot in the arm, so that they are inexplicably excited, and they are more confident in today's game!
And the Fusang country is also very confident, the tea ceremony is their national tradition, if this project loses to the Huaxia country, it will be really humiliating, but such a thing cannot happen, they have absolute confidence in today's contestants!
Nomura Okawa also sat in his place, although he didn't show anything, but he was still very confident in the competition in his heart, he had already said hello to today's judges, even the judges of Huaxia Kingdom were also handled by him, in this case, how could they have a reason to lose the game again!
"Another sister-in-law is about to appear, it's exciting to think about!" Wu Kaixuan in the audience touched the boss with his elbow and said.
"Just you talk a lot!" Ignoring Wu Kaixuan, Zhao Dezhu threw it back with a word.
At this time, the host came to the stage and introduced today's judges, who are actually similar to yesterday's formation, they are all experts in the tea ceremony, and today's judges are two judges from Huaxia and one from Fusang.
"It's going to start, I don't believe that the tea ceremony Huaxia people can still win against us!"
"Yesterday they just ordered it, and today God will definitely not help them like this!"
"Today's battle is our school's tea ceremony twins, twin Aoki sisters, even if the other party is a powerful student, it is impossible to beat them!"
"That's it, look at what they're proud of today!"
“......”
The students of Fuso Nagoya High School are discussing the next competition, they lost yesterday's game, and the result of yesterday's game made them extremely depressed, although the work of sunflower is quite good, but they think that it is a lucky victory, and it is impossible to be so lucky in today's game, their school will definitely win!
The host on the stage introduced the contestants, today's competition is attended by four people, Fusang is participated in by two twin sisters, and Houde High School is participated by Jiang Mengyao and a senior sister in the third year of high school, the rules are very simple, only one person wins, and the school represented by the winner is the winner.
Several contestants walked up to the stage in turn, and when Jiang Mengyao and the senior sister came to the stage, the audience erupted in warm applause, after all, this is the home of Houde High School, and the atmosphere must be overshadowed by Nagoya High School!
"Now please sit down, and when you are ready, signal that the competition can start after all four contestants are ready. ”
After the host finished speaking, he walked off the stage, stood on the side curtain and watched the game, sweating in his heart, silently cheering for Jiang Mengyao and his senior sister in his heart.
The four people sat behind the four tea tables on the stage, raised their hands and signaled, and the game officially began.
In fact, normally the tea ceremony is to be carried out in the tea room, the environment should be elegant, in an antique atmosphere, the tea ceremony can be well interpreted, but today is the nature of the competition, the requirements for the tea room can not be met, can only be tried in other aspects.
Not only that, but before the tea ceremony, there are many cumbersome procedures, such as washing hands, all of which have to be very particular procedures, these things are prepared in advance, and this competition is mainly to test the tea ceremony in the tea, boil tea, brew tea and offer tea, and the others are much simpler.
The four of them knelt at the tea table, everyone closed their eyes and was quiet for a while, this is the same as the flower arrangement, the tea ceremony is also very particular about the state of mind, if the feeling is not in place, then the brewed tea will not taste good.
Fuso's tea ceremony pays attention to purity, quietness, harmony and silence, and many tea ceremony masters have devoted their lives to seeking the spiritual state of the tea ceremony, which is the so-called seeking nature, so the four contestants sat with bated breath on the stage, trying not to be affected by the outside world, and seeing the state of the contestants, the people in the audience also quieted down.
The four of them started almost at the same time and began to prepare to make tea, everyone's tea was prepared by themselves, and Jiang Mengyao used the tea that Zhao Dezhu gave her, she remembered that Zhao Dezhu told her that tea is also very important, and the tea he prepared is unmatched, which is her advantage!
The contestants began to boil water, which is a very important step in the tea ceremony, in the process of boiling water, to control the water temperature well, under their tea table, are placed a wind stove, because the temperature is relatively high in this season, so this kind of wind stove is used.
Several people put the water on the stove to heat, at this time they were not idle, in the process of the tea they brought, Jiang Mengyao also took out the tea that Zhao Dezhu gave her, she knew that this is a big red robe, a kind of tea that is very famous in China, although there are many kinds on the market, but they are all cultivated in the later stage, only the big red robe produced by a few mother trees on Wuyi Mountain is the most authentic, presumably the big red robe that Zhao Dezhu gave her is just a better taste, and the big red robe produced by the mother tree may not be able to buy it if you have money.
Among the tea leaves brought, Jiang Mengyao carefully selected, she had to select tea leaves of similar size and color to brew, because before ordering tea, she must ensure that the selected tea leaves are the most suitable, which will also improve the taste of the brewed tea.
Several other contestants are also doing similar things as Jiang Mengyao, they only have the tea leaves in their hands in their eyes at this time, and everything around them is left behind, if they can't reach the realm of selflessness in the tea ceremony, then they will lose the essence of the tea ceremony.
After carefully selecting the tea leaves, the water on the stove was almost boiling at this time, Jiang Mengyao followed the process taught to her by the teacher and Zhao Dezhu step by step, at this time she didn't have any ideas in her mind, she just wanted to complete the tea smoothly.
"It's called a tea ceremony, it's just a show!"
"Isn't it, that woman is pretty good-looking, but the tea ceremony is nothing!"
"If you want to compare with our Aoki sisters, it's still far behind!"
“......”
Looking at Jiang Mengyao on the stage, the students of Nagoya High School were sarcastic, in fact, the tea ceremony is very ornamental, and the tea makers should show an elegant feeling in the process of tea ceremony, as if they were dancing and performing tea at the same time, what they didn't expect was that this little beauty in Huaxia could achieve such a realm, it was really unexpected!
But accidents are accidents, they will not admit that this Chinese beauty has done a good job, because in their hearts, the Aoki sisters are the two most successful in the study of tea ceremony among the young people at their stage, and such sisters will not be defeated by a little Chinese girl!
"It's beautiful!"
"Yes, this is Jiang Mengyao, the school flower of the seventh class of high school, haven't you heard of it before?"
"It's another school flower, and so was Sun Yingying yesterday, are the current school flowers so knowledgeable and talented?"
"But isn't it, you can obviously rely on your appearance, but people have to rely on real skills!"
“......”
The students of Houde High School were also discussing the competition on the stage, they paid more attention to Jiang Mengyao, they originally thought that this competition would be boring, but they didn't expect to watch Jiang Mengyao do all the actions to give them a wonderful enjoyment, it was so comfortable.
"Boss, do you think my sister-in-law can win?" Wu Kaixuan couldn't help but ask again.
"Why are you this problem every day!" said helplessly, Zhao Dezhu did not answer Wu Kaixuan, for Jiang Mengyao's game, he was not worried at all, he taught everything that should be taught, if he lost again, it means that this girl is stupid!
"Didn't I ask, if you don't speak when you watch the game, won't you want to suffocate me!" pouting, Wu Kaixuan said with some grievances.
The competition on the stage is still going on, the progress of several people is about the same, the tea ceremony has a very cumbersome process, every step can not be sloppy, the actions of the Aoki sisters are almost synchronized, they have been learning the tea ceremony since childhood, all the processes are engraved in their minds, and there is no need to think about it at all. “
