Chapter Seventy-Seven, Admit Defeat!
Chapter Seventy-Seven, Admit Defeat!
We often say that fire and water are incompatible, but in the art of tea ceremony, water and fire can be combined properly to achieve maximum strength.
The copper furnace water is boiling, and it is bubbling with a clatter.
Qin Yitian left his seat, walked over, lifted the lid of the copper kettle, and carefully observed the boiling water in the kettle.
A boil, boiling like a fish's eyes, slightly sounding.
Two boiling, the edge is like a spring.
Three boiling, vine waves drum waves.
After the three boils, Qin Yitian immediately lifted the handle of the kettle to keep the copper kettle away from the charcoal fire.
The copper kettle was very large, but when Qin Yitian brought it up, she felt that she was effortless and understated. This woman is really fresh and can play an iron man.
"Seal the furnace. Qin Yitian said.
The ninth class boy behind him immediately sealed the furnace mouth with a piece of iron, and then several people carried the charcoal furnace away again.
The degree of boiling of the water used to order tea is the key to the success or failure of tea.
If it is a young bud tip, it is natural to use boiling water with a lower degree. Avoid damaging the leaf quality and spoiling the taste.
But the tea we are fighting today is aged Pu'er tea, so the water used needs to be boiled three times.
It is also recorded in the "Book of Tea": the water should be cooked when it has just boiled three times, and then boiled, the water is old and inedible.
Qin Yitian poured the water of the copper kettle into the cup to rinse, which is called the cup. If the tea cup is hot and cool, the tea will not float.
There was a small teapot on the coffee table in front of him, but Qin Yitian did not pour the water of the copper kettle into the small pot for easy use. Because she knows that once she passes through the water, the boiling water will touch the air one more time. If you change the utensils one more time, you may add one more flavor. There are subtle changes in the temperature and quality of the water.
Like a jade beauty, slender jade hands, but carrying more than a dozen catties of quaint copper kettle. This scene feels both strange and beautiful.
The most amazing thing is that she holds the pot with one hand, and the boiling water is poured into the teacup without a drop sprayed. This alone is not something that ordinary people can do.
According to Fang Yan's assumption, Qin Yitian should wait for a while. First wait for the players on the Wuren delegation to brew the tea, everyone tastes it one by one, and then praises it greatly.
Until this time, Qin Yitian performed the tea ceremony with his hands and feet, and sent the tea soup he had carefully brewed to everyone. Just smell its fragrance and be intoxicated. Wait until you drink it in one gulp, only to feel that this tea should only be in the sky, and the world smells it a few times. As a result, Qin Yitian became the champion of this tea fight.
First suppressed and then raised, so that everyone's mood soared from the bottom to the peak.
Let everyone be anxious first, and then surprise everyone. In this way, the surprise is even more evocative.
Besides, in any competition, isn't the latecomer more advantageous?
After drinking the tea of the descendants, do you remember what the previous cup of tea tasted like?
Unless the taste of the two cups of tea is very different, if the level is comparable, then the second cup of tea must be more cheap.
However, Qin Yitian obviously did not appreciate Teacher Fang Yan's painstaking efforts, and did not play cards according to the routine set by Teacher Fang Yan. She had no intention of waiting for her opponent at all.
After the water boils, the cleaner, waiting for the water, pouring the cup, a series of actions like flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.
Then the tea is eaten, the tea cake is placed on a piece of white silk, finely broken, and all the coarse leaves and fine foam are removed. It is only at this time that the priority tea leaves are put down in the pot.
Handle with care and do not allow the tea leaves to block the spout.
Fill the tea with a portable copper kettle, shake it three times, and pour the tea out immediately. It's called tea washing.
After washing the tea, you can make the tea. Tea brewing is the most important part, and do not rush straight to the heart of the pot. Punch one corner first, then each corner. The spout of the copper kettle is raised, and the principle of high flushing and low sprinkling is strictly followed. The high flush can make the boiling water strongly impact the tea leaves, so that the fragrance of the tea and the tea essence volatilize faster, and the tannins have no time to dissolve, so the tea soup is sweet but not astringent.
The flush must be full. Whether the teapot is 'three mountains together', at this time, it is extremely powerful. I saw Qin Yitian's demeanor leisurely, but his eyes were serious, and the tea quickly filled the teapot, and the tea foam floated, but there was no overflow. A grandmaster style.
After completing this tedious but necessary process, close the lid and pour boiling water over the pot. It is called a shower.
After scalding the cup, you can sprinkle the tea to greet the guests.
A pot of tea, Qin Yitian only poured four cups.
The long sleeves flicked and said, "Please." ”
Lu Chaoge walked over and picked up a cup of tea and savored it.
Noriya Matsushima walked over and picked up the second cup of tea to look at the color of the tea.
Duan Youjun let out a long sigh, walked up to Lu Chaoge and bowed deeply, and then carefully picked up the third cup of tea and soup.
Qin Yitian picked up the fourth cup of tea, took the initiative to send it to Fang Yan, and said with a smile: "Fang Yan, this cup of tea will be given to you." ”
"You guy-----" Fang Yan pretended to be angry and said, but his heart blossomed. Look at it, there are only four cups of tea, except for the three judges, Qin Yitian doesn't give it to anyone, not to the vice principal, not to the teaching director, not to the head of the language group, but he just sends the tea to himself.
What kind of behavior is this?
What does this mean? It shows that I am a qualified teacher and an excellent teacher, and I am respected by my students.
Fang Yan took the tea, tasted it carefully, and said, "Good tea." ”
Qin Yitian's tea ceremony performance was over, and the tea was already in his hand. Therefore, the three judges naturally need to give an evaluation.
After Lu Chaoge drank a cup of tea, he carefully felt the sweet and moist feeling in his throat, and first said, "I don't understand tea." But still know that this is good tea. Good tea, good water, good tea ceremony, breathtaking. ”
Matsushima Ki took the tea soup and smelled its fragrance first and then looked at its color, then tasted it in small sips and said: "The soup is green and white, and the soup flowers are fine." It is a premium tea. ”
The brown color is precious white, and the blue and white are better than the yellow and white. And the soup flower needs to be thin and even, like cold porridge noodles. If you can bite the rim tightly and gather for a long time, this effect is the best. It's called 'bite'.
Matsushima Kiya also likes to drink tea, and he has studied tea a little. It was precisely because of this that she knew how perfect and profound the tea ceremony skills of the girl in front of her were.
Without more than ten years of immersion, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach this kind of grandmaster realm, right?
Duan Youjun only drank half of the cup of tea in his hand, and the other half was reluctant to eat, and praised: "Tea Immortal is reincarnated." The tea fairy is reincarnated. Seeing this tea ceremony today, I will not fight tea with others in the future. It's hard to be ashamed. It's hard to be ashamed. ”
When everyone was tasting the tea soaked by Qin Yitian, Kaoru Chiba's tea ceremony performance had just reached the 'high brewing and low pouring' tea brewing session.
Her face was expressionless, and her heart was like water. Focus only on what you are doing, and be completely undisturbed by external factors.
Even when Qin Yitian brought the tea soup to Fang Yan, she didn't look at it distractedly. It's as if everything around her has nothing to do with her.
The heart is the tea, and the tea is the heart. Heart tea and one, completely forgetful.
There are four teacups on each tray, but Kaoru Chiba only chooses one of them to be ironed.
After scalding the cup, sprinkle tea to greet the guests.
Chiba Kaoru picked up the only cup of tea in front of him, but walked up to Qin Yitian and said, "This cup of tea represents my respect." Please be sure to accept it. ”
Qin Yitian looked at Kaoru Chiba thoughtfully, and it was only at this time that she really began to respect this girl from the East.
"Kaoru Chiba, send a cup to each of the judges. Saburo Fujino urged urgently. What's the matter with this kid? The judges haven't drunk the tea yet, so how can they give tea to their opponents first? Besides, the judges haven't tasted your tea, so how can they know how beautiful your tea soup is?
Kaoru Chiba didn't answer Saburo Fujino's question, and her beautiful eyes stared at Qin Yitian, who was standing in front of her a head taller than her, without blinking.
Qin Yitian took the tea and tasted it carefully, one sip was shallow, two sips were deep, and the third sip was directly drunk.
She looked at Kaoru Chiba and said softly, "Good tea." ”
"Thank you. Kaoru Chiba's tense little face stretched out suddenly. She bowed ninety degrees to Qin Yitian and said with great gratitude, "Thank you." ”
Fujino Saburo didn't care about being reserved, ran quickly to Kaoru Chiba, grabbed Kaoru Chiba's shoulder, and shouted: "Kaoru Chiba, what are you doing? Do you know what you're doing? How can you do this? How can you give up? Do you know that it's not just yourself that you give up---- but also us, as well as the pride of our Takehito, and our Oriental face---- how can you give up?"
Kaoru Chiba turned to look at Saburo Fujino, with a sweet smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Fujino, I lost." I lost my mind, my aura, and even more so my confidence------ she was perfect, and all her performances were impeccable. I thought that if I waited a little longer, I would be able to find the flaw. However, from the beginning to the end, she did not give me any chance. ”
Chiba Kaoru also thought that Qin Yitian would wait.
Qin Yitian waited for herself to brew good tea first, and then she surpassed herself as a latecomer.
She thought Qin Yitian would do this. Don't all people have this mentality?
Her movements lagged behind Qin Yitian, because she had to re-boil the water, and because she also had a knot----- she wanted to be the final victor.
Why did she think that, why did she do it? At the end of the day, she still didn't have enough confidence in herself. You don't have confidence in yourself, you don't have confidence in your tea. Without spirited tea, how can you win others?
However, Qin Yitian didn't do that.
She doesn't fight or wait, it's simple and direct.
She does her own thing, regardless of it.
She disdains conspiracy, and she doesn't want to engage in conspiracy, she only does herself. She made herself the best, she made herself to the extreme.
She is Qin Yitian, and she believes that she will win.
Such an opponent easily convinces her, and he deserves her so respect.
Kaoru Chiba was smiling, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Teacher, let me admit defeat. Kaoru Chiba said in a choked voice. "At least it looks dignified. ”
(PS: It's crazy to tip!I admit defeat and am conquered by you!)
