Chapter 156: Thunder Bell
Maybe it was because the old man left a bad impression on him before, but at this moment, Wu Ningzhu only pouted when he heard his words, obviously not taking his promise to heart.
On the contrary, Luo Cangtian also smiled back after hearing this: "Since the seniors are so confident, then I am also relieved." ”
"Knock! knock!"
When the three of them were greeting, three bells rang from the depths of the mansion, and the smiles on the faces of the visitors in the mansion after hearing them all converged, and they raised their heads and looked solemnly at the source of the sound.
Even Wu Ningzhu unconsciously straightened her waist, but when she saw that Luo Cangtian was still that indifferent look, she reminded repeatedly: "This is the unique thunder bell of the Sun family, it is said to be able to wash away the filth in the human body, once in thirty years, three rings each time, and nine times in a hundred years." ”
For some reason, since Luo Cangtian stepped into the Sun family's realm, he had a vague feeling that the overlord of the Northeast region might be a little different from what he imagined before.
The thick and long voice of the thunder bell echoed in the sky for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating, and many people showed a very comfortable expression, as if they were really washed by the bell.
"Tea tasting party, officially begins!"
In the loudspeakers that had been placed around him, a slightly hoarse voice came out, and everyone was even more shocked when they heard it.
Luo Cangtian saw with his own eyes that this group of people who came to the competition with their own tea rushed into the open door of the Sun family in front of him as if they were rushing to the market.
Inside the gate, there is a huge square, which can accommodate thousands of people at a glance.
In the center of the square, there are 100 tea tables, and the tea sets on the table are all available.
Luo Cangtian waited until everyone had entered, then he headed towards Wu Ningzhu, and then walked in leisurely.
As soon as he entered the door, Luo Cangtian had already found that what Kang Le said when he made a bet before was not a bluff, and among the people who came to participate in the competition this time, basically every one of them had the tea in their hands as the best choice.
In contrast, the broken tea wrapped in a plastic bag in his hand is a little out of line.
Perhaps because Luo Cangtian is a fresh face, as soon as he entered the venue at this moment, many contestants looked at him secretly.
"You must win!!" In the viewing area outside the stadium, Wu Ningzhu put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly, at this moment, where is she still a little bit of everyone's beautiful demeanor, full of a girl next door.
Luo Cangtian raised his hand to say hello, walked to the only remaining unoccupied tea table, and quietly waited for the game to start.
And Kang Le and the others seemed to have premeditated, the three of them were located around Luo Cangtian, and they were all staring at him with unkind faces at the moment, and when they saw the broken tea in Luo Cangtian's hand, it was even more difficult to hide the joy on their faces.
The noisy square lasted for several minutes, and finally, the red wooden door several meters high slowly opened.
"Squeak"
With the opening of the wooden door, the scene behind the door also comes into view.
The Sun family had already stood on both sides, and at the end of the corridor behind the door, there was a splendid lobby, in which a giant-like figure sit.
Although Luo Cangtian's figure is thin, he is also one meter eight or six tall, but in front of this giant, he is not as tall as he sits.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Sun family, I welcome you to this tea tasting conference, the head of the Sun family said that the person who won the championship this time can only be able to meet his wishes, and he can fulfill a wish of that person. ”
Sun Qian was wearing a coat and a melon skin hat on his head, showing the appearance of an ancient housekeeper.
Just when everyone was talking about Sun Gan's words, Luo Cangtian's attention was all attracted by the giant in the lobby.
He felt an unimaginable vitality from the giant.
Is this the head of the Sun family, Sun Dasheng......
"In this competition, as in the past, each contestant can start after adjusting to the best condition, and when it ends, raise his hand, and the referee will go to check, but you should note that the game time is only two hours at most. ”
For Luo Cangtian, making a cup of tea, where it takes two hours, two minutes is enough.
However, when the others heard this, their faces showed varying degrees of distress.
Even the audience, who were separated by the separation zone around them, heard this, and they all started to discuss it.
"Two hours, why is this competition so short?"
"Yes, one of the teas, the longer the tea is brewed, the more mellow the tea leaves, this time, it is estimated that even the tea leaves cannot be brewed. ”
"It seems that this time the head of the Sun family deliberately made a problem for this group of people. ”
When Wu Ningzhu heard this, his heart also rose up and down.
After all, I had only heard of this tea party before, but I didn't know that there was so much attention to it.
My understanding of tea is only limited to what I heard from Wu Lao.
……
"Grandpa, what's so good about tea, it's bitter to death. "When he was young, Wu Ningzhu was far more lively than now, and Wu Lao looked a lot younger.
Wu Lao saw his granddaughter holding her own teacup, complaining about herself with a bitter face, and was amused: "Silly child, when you grow up in the future, you will understand, tea is like life, bitterness often accounts for eight or nine times out of ten, only one or two sweet, it is impossible to ask for it." ”
Until now, Wu Ningzhu still doesn't understand why Wu Lao said this to himself that day, but the bitter taste of the tea is still fresh in his memory.
Later, when Wu Ningzhu grew up, he proposed to Wu Lao more than once to buy some better tea for him, but Wu Lao refused all of them without exception.
According to his words: "It's just that people have high and low, so why impose tea." ”
Seeing the group of enthusiastic contestants in front of him, Wu Ningzhu gradually understood the meaning of this sentence.
At the same time, the incense in the center of the square was officially lit, announcing the start of the competition.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the tea set prepared by the Sun family for each contestant is basically the same, so there are not many places that really leave the contestants to play freely.
There were only two things: water temperature and duration, and after a few minutes, someone had already boiled the first pot of water.
But Luo Cangtian sat motionless, just frowning and looking at the tea in front of him, and Kang Le and the others were not willing to lag behind and took out the tea they had prepared.
"Smack!"
Not only did there be a crisp sound from nowhere, but everyone looked back and saw a contestant standing there with an embarrassed face, on the tea table in front of him, the teapot had been blown apart, and the half-dried tea leaves were flowing all over the ground.
"The teapot is broken, disqualified!" the referee spoke, and everyone realized that everyone only had one chance!
