Chapter 1046: The True Art of Tea
After Lu Ming heard everyone's praise, he couldn't help but have a smug look on his face.
He looked at Nara Caizi and said lightly, "Miss Nara, are you willing to admit defeat now?"
But Nara Caiko shook her head: "If you only have such a little ability, boss, then I will be the one who wins." ”
"Are you thinking too much?" Lu Ming said with a frown.
"Yes, Boss Lu's tea-making level is very high. Beauty, even if you are very powerful, you are not as good as Boss Lu. Among the people I've seen, Boss Lu's tea art is the best. Someone said right away.
"That's right, I also support Boss Lu. Our Chinese tea culture is broad and profound. You still have to learn more. ”
These people all stood on Lu Ming's side one by one.
Hearing everyone's praise, Lu Ming's heart was even more happy.
He smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliments, I still have a lot to learn Lu Ming, but I still know a lot more than Dongying people." Miss Nara, I think you might as well admit defeat, and in this case, it won't be too embarrassing for a while. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, boss, my level is enough. Nara Sako smiled and said, "Okay, it's my turn next." ”
"Can I borrow your tea set and tea, boss? The same tea set and tea, the tea brewed is better, it is fair." If I use my tea set and tea, I'm afraid that after I answer, Boss Lu, you will not agree. ”
Lu Ming snorted coldly: "You don't have to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." You use my stuff though, and I'm confident that my tea art is better than yours. ”
"Then thank you, Boss Lu. Nara Sako said with a smile.
In fact, when Nara Caizi said this, Su Chen knew that Lu Ming was very likely to lose.
Since Caiko Nara is the runner-up of the Toei Tea Art Competition, it proves that Caiko Nara's level is very high. Undoubtedly, tea art has become an art in Dongying and is widely promoted.
On the Chinese side, the study of tea culture is spontaneous. Therefore, the standardization and professionalism are not as good as Dongying. Even if Lu Ming is made a master by everyone, in fact, Su Chen just watched Lu Ming's tea art, which is not bad. But it was possible to find some shortcomings.
Nara Caiko walked over to the tea set, and she began to make tea.
All her movements are done in one go. The golden tea poured out of the teapot, forming a perfect parabola in the air. The tea was poured evenly, and not a drop of water leaked.
Looking at her movements, Su Chen also felt that it was a beautiful enjoyment.
"What are you doing with so many fancy moves? The most important thing is that the tea is delicious. Lu Ming snorted coldly.
In fact, Lu Ming himself has no bottom in his heart, but Lu Ming will never admit defeat.
The tea culture of China is definitely longer and more profound than the Dongying Tea Ceremony.
He picked up his first cup of tea and began to drink it.
The two tea tasters just now also began to drink.
"This ......" all three of them had some shocked looks on their faces.
Lu Ming originally thought that he could win, and at most he would draw.
However, after he drank the tea brewed by Nara Caiko, he was embarrassed to say this. Because the tea made by Caiko Nara is really delicious.
"I originally thought that the tea made by Boss Lu was already the best I had ever drunk, but I didn't expect Miss Nara's tea to be. This one, I admit you won. "Me too, I drank such a good tea. My mood has also changed for the better. ”
Although Lu Ming's face was ugly, he was still a very upright person. He gritted his teeth and said: "I admit that I lost, but that doesn't mean that Huaxia tea culture is inferior to you." My level is only average among Chinese tea culture lovers. ”
"Thank you, Boss Lu. Then sell me this set of tea sets. Nara Sako said with a smile.
I don't know why, after seeing Nara's smile, Lu Ming felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"You also have to accept other people's challenges, and if no one dares to challenge you, then you have won. Lu Ming said.
Nara Caiko said with a smile, "I'm always welcome." If anyone can make a better tea than the one I just had, I'll give him this tea set. ”
Lu Ming's face was full of hope and he looked at the others.
But no one stepped forward. Even the top-level Lu Ming failed, how could they be the opponents of Caiko Nara?
They all lowered their heads one by one, embarrassed to meet Lu Ming's gaze.
Lu Ming was a little disappointed, and he sighed softly.
"I'll come. Just when Caiko Nara thought she was sure of victory, a voice rang out.
So, everyone's eyes looked over, and they saw a young man come out.
"It's Master Su Chen. Someone exclaimed.
"My God, it's Master Su Chen. Isn't Master Su Chen a master of antiques? He can also make tea?"
"Absolutely. Master Su Chen is talented. ”
Su Chen's arrival caused heated discussions among everyone.
In the antique circle of Jinnan City, if you want to say who is bigger than Su Chen, there is really nothing.
Su Chen stood up like this, and everyone took the initiative to give way to it.
Even Lu Ming's face was full of joy: "Master Su Chen, you are here." ”
Su Chen nodded and said to Nara Caiko: "Miss Nara, I want this tea set, you better go." ”
"Although I have heard of Master Su Chen's name, and in terms of antique treasures, I also admit that I am far inferior to Master Su Chen, but in the tea ceremony, I will definitely not lose. If Master Su Chen wants to compete with me, I will accompany him. Nara said.
"It seems that Miss Nara is very confident in her own strength, and in that case, it is necessary for me to let you know how good I am. Su Chen said with a smile, "Your tea ceremony is good, but our Chinese tea culture is better." You've already made tea, and it's my turn. ”
"Master Su Chen, please. Nara Sako said with a smile.
She wanted to get this set of tea sets, and of course, she was also full of curiosity about Su Chen.
Everyone else also had great expectations for Su Chen. Su Chen walked to the side of the tea set. He picked up the tea set, and it was an operation.
Caiko Nara's movements just now were already perfect, but Su Chen's movements were even more skillful than her.
Everyone was very quiet, for fear of disturbing Su Chen's tea.
Even Nara Caiko, after seeing Su Chen's movements, she was fascinated.
Su Chen poured the tea into the cup, and Nara Caiko took the first step, picked up a cup of tea, and sniffed it. She took another quick sip.
Lu Ming also drank tea, he didn't speak, but continued to drink tea. He closed his eyes and seemed to enjoy it. The two tea savers next to them also wanted to get the last cup of tea. There was a more neat action, that is, he got the tea, he took a sip, and the other face was full of regret. It's because the movement is slow, so I can't drink good tea.
After entering the mouth, the man felt very lubricated, and the tea seemed to slide down his throat. He thought that Nara Caiko's tea was the best, but he found that Nara Caiko's tea was far inferior to the tea made by Su Chen.
"It's really worthy of Master Su Chen. The man said with emotion.
Lu Ming looked at Su Chen, with a serious look on his face: "Thank you, Master Su Chen." I used to think how good the tea I was brewing. After drinking your tea, Master Su Chen, I knew the real gap, can I worship Master Su Chen as your teacher when I turn around?"
"Boss, I drink tea just because of my interest, and my usual work is mainly antique appraisal. I'm afraid I don't have time to teach you. Su Chen said.
"I'm also in the antiques business. I have a lot of antiques here. I know, Master Su Chen, you need a lot of antiques over there, and I can help you find them. When I went to the Treasure Pavilion, Master Su Chen taught me when he had time. Lu Ming looked at Su Chen sincerely.
Now that Lu Ming is already so sincere, and Lu Ming can indeed help Su Chen.
Hearing this, Su Chen nodded: "Okay." ”
Su Chen's eyes looked at Nara Caiko, and said with a smile: "Miss Nara, I don't know how my tea art is?"
"I came to Huaxia to look for tea sets, and I always thought that I lost to others because my tea sets were not as good as them. But now I know I was wrong. The same tea set can also brew different flavors. Master Su Chen's tea art, I am far inferior. Nara Caizi said seriously, "The tea art culture in China is really broad and profound." I admit defeat, and I will give up this set of tea sets. ”
"I have a request, though. Master Su Chen has already promised Boss Lu that he is willing to teach Boss Lu the art of tea. Then I also hope that I can learn tea art with Master Su Chen. I want to take my tea art to the next level and win the tea ceremony competition. ”
"As I said earlier, I don't have much time to teach you. Su Chen said.
"I also know how to identify antiques, I can help in the Treasure Pavilion, when I have doubts, Master Su Chen will teach me. Nara said.
"Okay, you can communicate more with Boss Lu when you have time. Su Chen said, "We don't have to sign any contracts, you can leave whenever you want." ”
In fact, someone is willing to help, and Su Chen is also willing.
But Su Chen knew that Nara Caiko wouldn't stay in the Treasure Pavilion for long.
What she wants is to win the tea ceremony competition.
Of course, this is not a bad thing for Su Chen. If Caiko Nara can win the tea ceremony championship competition, Su Chen will also become famous. Moreover, the tea ceremony itself is also an activity of the upper class.
Therefore, when he turned around, Su Chen could also ask Liu Rufeng to contact Nara Caizi. If Liu Rufeng can cooperate with Nara Caiko, then their market in Dongying can also be opened.
Su Chen is very optimistic about this matter.
I'm afraid that even Nara Caiko didn't expect that Su Chen would think so much in an instant, right?
Su Chen said, "Boss Lu, now you can sell me this set of tea sets, right?"
"No, I'm going to give this set of tea sets to you, Master Su Chen. Lu Ming said.
Hearing Lu Ming's words, everyone was shocked.
