The tea ceremony was the first competition of cultural exchange between the two sides, and in order to win the opening, both sides sent their strongest strengths.

Yagyu Ai and Hua Mingrui also had no reservations after they came on the field, with equipment, warm pots, roasting tea, placing tea, flushing, shaking pots, pouring tea, a series of actions flowing, showing the extraordinary attainments of the two in the tea ceremony.

Gao Fengwen nodded frequently in the audience and said, "Not bad!

Qin Haodong said: "Is Elder Gao also good at the tea ceremony?"

"I can't say anything about it, I usually like to make a cup, and I know a little bit about the tea ceremony. Gao Fengwen opened the conversation and said, "Generally speaking, the tea ceremony in China is divided into three realms, the first realm, the color and fragrance are good, this realm I can barely do it, the tea color and fragrance brewed have reached a certain level, so that the tea tasters have a pleasing feeling."

The tea ceremony is easy to say, but it requires a deep understanding of the tea leaves, the amount of water, and the state of the tea utensils, and it takes at least a few years of hard work to achieve it. ”

Qin Haodong nodded slightly, tea is known as the head of all herbs, the flower of ten thousand trees, as Emperor Aoki, no one is more proficient in the tea ceremony than him. It's just that his tea ceremony was achieved in the cultivation realm, and he doesn't know much about the level of the earth's tea ceremony.

Gao Fengwen didn't know that he was facing a tea ceremony master, and he continued: "The second realm, back to the basics, now the two people on the stage have reached this realm.

The so-called return to the basics means that when making tea, it is not just about showing off your skills, but integrating the skills of the tea ceremony into the bone marrow, so that the most essential taste of tea can be exuded, so that you can brew the purest tea fragrance.

It's not easy, you can reach the second realm at a young age, and you can't do it without more than ten years of hard work and talent. ”

Qin Haodong asked, "Then in the opinion of the senior guy, who of the two can win?"

Gao Fengwen said: "Although I personally don't like the Wa Kingdom, I have to say that the tea art of this Wa woman has also reached a certain level of attainment, and she belongs to the second realm of the tea ceremony with the tea fairy.

If anyone can reach the third level of the tea ceremony, and even touch a little threshold, then this game will be won and won't lose!"

Qin Haodong asked, "What is the third realm of the tea ceremony that Elder Gao said?"

"As far as I know so far, the third realm is the highest realm of the tea ceremony, which is called Xiangpiao Siye. As the name suggests, the tea brewed by people who have reached this state can be fragrant for thousands of meters and will not disperse for a long time. Of course, this is just a legend, and the incense drifting thousands of meters may be an exaggeration, but at least the range is much wider than the second realm. ”

While the two were talking, the tea on the stage had been brewed, and ten numbered cups were poured into each of them, and the staff registered the cups and distributed them to the ten judges in the audience to taste.

The ten judges were also selected tea ceremony masters, and they slowly tasted each cup, sometimes shaking their heads, sometimes nodding their heads, and finally writing down the number they had chosen.

Soon the results came out, Hua Mingrui and Liu Shengai each got five votes, and as Gao Fengwen said, it was a tie. Although the two arrogant women were dissatisfied in their hearts, they had no choice but to agree with this result.

Qian Duoduo returned to the stage and asked the direction of the Japanese delegation: "Are there any other players from your country participating in the competition?"

Kazuo Yanagi shook his head and signaled that there were no more players. Regardless of whether Ai Yagyu wins or loses, he already represents the highest level of tea ceremony in the Wa Kingdom, and it is impossible to find a second person.

However, they can also accept this result, after all, the tea ceremony originated in Huaxia and was introduced to the Wa Kingdom in the later period.

Qian Duoduo looked at Gao Fengwen and asked, "Elder Gao, are there any contestants here who want to challenge Miss Yanagi Ai?"

Gao Fengwen sighed secretly in his heart, the draw did make Huaxia's side very faceless, but the tea fairy failed to win, and the others were even worse.

He was just about to signal that there were no more players, when Qin Haodong said, "Elder Gao, let me go up and try it, right?"

"Can this work?" asked Gao Fengwen with some surprise.

At Qin Haodong's age, it is already remarkable to be able to achieve something in medicine and antiques, and it is hard to imagine that he is also proficient in the tea ceremony.

Qin Haodong smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal to try, maybe I'll win!"

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Gao Fengwen said, "Okay, if Doctor Qin is interested, go up and give it a try." ”

As soon as Qin Haodong stood up, Lang Sanyuan next to him said disdainfully: "If you don't measure yourself, you can come up with any limelight, even the tea fairy can't win, what's the use of you going up?

Without even looking at Lang Sanyuan, Qin Haodong walked straight to the stage, it is useless to say more about this kind of narrow-minded villain, it will be good to slap him in the face when the time comes.

"Chairman Qian, let me teach Miss Yagyu Ai's tea ceremony. ”

Hua Mingrui gave up her position and glanced at Qin Haodong meaningfully, she has always been extremely conceited in the tea ceremony, but now she has not even been able to win, I don't know where this young man's confidence comes from.

There was a challenge, and the second round began. The staff replaced all the tea sets that Hua Mingrui and Yanagi loved to use, and brought up two new sets of tea sets for two people to use.

Liu Shengai glanced at Qin Haodong and said with a smile: "Little handsome guy, are you okay?

Her words were puns and full of teasing.

Qin Haodong smiled slightly, "Okay or not, you won't know if you try it." ”

After speaking, he picked up the tea set on the table and began to operate.

A trace of disdain flashed in Liu Shengai's eyes, compared with Hua Mingrui, Qin Haodong's movements were much stiffer, without any beauty at all, there was no difference between ordinary people making tea at home, and he was obviously a layman.

The others also sighed, especially the audience, who were very sorry for the draw just now, thinking that a new player would have the hope of defeating Ai Yanagi, but now they fell into a deep disappointment, this young man's performance did not have the demeanor of a tea ceremony master.

Qin Haodong didn't pay any attention to the expressions of the others, and calmly brewed his own tea.

Time passed slowly, and when Liu Shengai re-brewed a pot of tea, Qin Haodong completed all the previous procedures, the difference was that Liu Shengai's teapot already emitted a faint tea fragrance, but Qin Haodong had no taste at all.

Liu Shengai said contemptuously: "Little handsome guy, do you think this game is necessary? I don't think you need to trouble these judges, right?"

Qin Haodong looked at her and smiled slightly, "I think it's the same, there's no need to trouble the judges!"

Lang Sanyuan said sarcastically: "Shame! It's really embarrassing! It's not as good as my nanny at this level, what are you doing up there?"

Gao Fengwen and Guo Feng's faces changed, but the facts were here, and they had nothing to say.

Just when everyone thought that Qin Haodong was going to admit defeat, he picked up the teapot in front of him and slowly said to the teacup in front of him, a golden liquid flowed out, like a mountain spring flowing, knocking on the wall of the teacup to make a clear sound, like a musical instrument playing.

At the same time, a strong fragrance of tea emanated, from the stage to the stage, and soon filled the entire thousand-person venue, filling everyone's nostrils.

Smelling the fragrance of tea, Gao Fengwen's expression changed greatly, and the loss just now was swept away, replaced by a face full of ecstasy.

"Fragrance floats in the four fields! God, it's the third realm, the fragrance floats in the four fields!"

Hua Mingrui did not step down, she has been standing by Qin Haodong's side, at this time she was so surprised that her face was discolored, she has been obsessed with the tea ceremony for many years, and it has always been her dream to be able to reach the third realm of Xiangpiao Siye, but this realm is too difficult.

I didn't expect what she didn't do to be done by others today, the young man in front of her seemed random, but who knew that he really brewed out of the realm of fragrant four wilds.

Yagyu Ai, who was very proud just now, was already dead at this time, and after so many years of immersion in the tea ceremony, of course she understood what Xiangpiao Siye represented, even her teacher could not reach this realm.

She lost, and she lost completely!

Qin Haodong glanced at Liu Shengai and said jokingly: "Miss Liu Sheng, you just said that you don't need to trouble the judges, isn't it time to admit defeat?"

Liu Shengai bit his lip, although he was extremely unwilling, he still said with great difficulty: "I admit defeat!"

One is the second realm of the tea ceremony, and the other is the third realm of the tea ceremony, such an obvious gap will make people laugh if they are cheeky and ask the judges to evaluate it.

Seeing this Japanese woman admitting defeat on the spot, thunderous cheers broke out at the scene.

Kazuo Yanagi's expression changed greatly, he originally thought that he would draw with Huaxia in the first game, but he didn't expect to lose in a blink of an eye, and he lost miserably!

Qin Haodong stood up and arched his hand to the excited audience, turned around and stepped off the stage, and when he returned to his seat, he glanced at Lang Sanyuan next to him.

Just now, Lang Sanyuan was still ridiculing Qin Haodong for being embarrassed, the level of the tea ceremony was not as good as their nanny, and he was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye, and the beating was loud, at this time he directly stuck his head into the crotch of his pants, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Qin Haodong.

This is how the first game came to an end, and the second game officially began.

On the side of the Wa Kingdom, Chiba Mieko walked directly onto the stage and said to the audience: "In the second game of the exchange competition, we Wa Guo want to take a look at the appraisal ability of Chinese antique experts, we have prepared a total of three pairs of collections, which may all be true or false, if all the experts in Huaxia are correctly identified, even if we admit defeat." ”

Qian Duoduo asked, "Miss Chiba, I want to ask, how to ensure that the answers you give are fair and just?"

Mieko Chiba said: "The authenticity of the collection will be placed in a small box in advance and handed over to you for safekeeping, so that the fairness of the answer can be guaranteed." ”

"That's a good idea. ”

Qian Duoduo nodded, writing out the answer in advance can prevent the little devils from admitting it afterwards, the reputation of the Japanese people has never been very good, otherwise they will not admit the crimes they have committed.

On Huaxia's side, Guo Feng whispered to Qin Haodong: "Brother Qin, I'll go up and take a look first, and if I can't do it, I'll invite you to the stage." ”

With that, he strode onto the stage. Qian Duoduo said to Chiba Mieko: "Miss Chiba, President Guo has already come to the stage, please take out the collection you need to identify." ”

Chiba Mieko waved her hand to the audience, and two Japanese people walked up to the stage holding two extremely quaint-looking painting tubes.

Chiba Mieko first handed a small wooden box containing the answer to Qian Duoduo, then opened the painting tube, carefully took out the two scrolls inside, opened them on the table, and laid them out.

At the same time, the two scrolls are projected on a huge electronic screen by electronic projection equipment on stage, so that the audience can see them clearly.

These two scrolls are written on an ancient poem, "Three more lights and five more chickens, it is when the head is immersed in reading, the black hair does not know how to study early, and the white head regrets reading late", this "Persuasion" uses a line of grass, the whole word is written vigorously and powerfully, and the spirit is flying, and the signature is Yan Zhenqing.
