Chapter 343: Take the initiative to admit defeat
The two people choose the same tea utensils, and the fire for boiling tea is charcoal.
Lu Yu, a tea fairy in the Tang Dynasty, once said: "To boil tea, the fire uses charcoal, and the second uses hard work." ”
Tea lovers never use any gas stove to make tea, and even discard the charcoal used to make tea on foreign substances.
As the saying goes, fire and water are incompatible, but in a tea ceremony performance, water and fire must work together properly to make a good tea.
Clean hands, hot cups, and warm pots. The tea set is ready, and then it is "Ma Long enters the palace", which means that the tea leaves are put into the utensils, and then the tea is washed, and the boiled tea is poured into the pot containing the tea leaves, and then quickly poured out.
Then there is the wonderful place for the tea ceremony performance, ordering tea, ordering soup, whisking, and sealing the pot.
When brewing, you can't fill the tea at one time, there is the so-called "phoenix three nods" in the performance, that is, three times to fill the pot filled with tea, brush off the tea with the lid of the pot, and then cover the lid of the pot to preserve the aroma that comes out when brewing, and then divide the cup.
Although it is easy to say, the degree of boiling when boiling water, the speed of washing tea, and the degree of full cup of water are the keys to tea brewing technology.
The two of them were so engrossed in the tea ceremony performance that they seemed to have forgotten everything around them.
Many people are stunned to see such a superb tea ceremony performance for the first time.
The people are beautiful, the movements are beautiful, the tea is fragrant, and the beauties are even more fragrant, which makes them fascinated.
Many people who understand tea know that if you are paid to watch a tea ceremony performance of this level, it will definitely cost a lot.
The appearance fee of the person performing the tea ceremony is also sky-high, not millions of yuan, and it is impossible to hire a tea master of this level.
Cao Yue has seen Zheng Han perform the tea ceremony many times, but in the past, Zheng Han's performance was far less formal and serious than today, and at that time, all the brewed tea was green tea, and the procedure was different.
He used his mobile phone to record the whole process of the tea ceremony performance of the two.
In his joy, he also felt a little pity, but he didn't have a chance to taste the tea brewed by Zheng Han's performance of the tea ceremony today.
Zheng Han's movements are obviously better than Jin Chengji's, and she is one step ahead of her.
She divided a total of seven cups, and after sandwiching the seven cups of tea into the tray, Ying Ying got up and sent them to the six judges, and then gave the last cup of tea to Cao Yue. "Try the tea I brewed in a foreign country. Zheng Han's smiling eyebrows and eyes were crooked, extremely gentle.
Suddenly, Cao Yue became the focus of attention of the audience, and he gained countless envy, jealousy and hatred in an instant, even his own Chen Baikun and Xu Fei's eyes were a little unfriendly, and Ding Jia's eyes were similar.
Cao Yue didn't bother to pay attention to other people's eyes, he took the tea very happily, admired it very elegantly, smelled it with his nose, looked at it with his eyes, and didn't taste it right away. The regret just now disappeared in an instant.
The six judges also took part in the samples.
They have a certain amount of research on the tea ceremony and know how to evaluate the quality of the tea ceremony.
Kim Sung-hee also ended the tea ceremony performance, divided into six cups, and gave them to the six judges.
However, unlike Zheng Han's radiant expression, she looked a little embarrassed and lonely.
There is no need for the judges to make a final decision, she knows that she lost today's tea art competition, and there is no suspense about losing.
Bucket tea, one bucket of soup color, two buckets of water marks.
First of all, look at whether the color of the tea soup is pure color, and the pure color wins.
The color of the soup can reflect the harvesting skills of the tea, and the pure color of the tea soup indicates that the tea is fat and tender, and the color is blue when the production is just right, indicating that the steaming tea is not sufficient and the color is gray, indicating that the steamed tea has passed the color and yellowing, indicating that the color is reddish when the harvest is not made, indicating that the roasting has been overheated.
Secondly, look at the duration of the soup flower.
Because Pu'er tea is a cake tea, the tea cake is first roasted and crushed when it is prepared, and then boiled in water to decoction. If the grinding is delicate, the tea, soup, and whisk are just right, the soup flowers will be even, and you can bite the edge of the cup tightly, and gather for a long time, this best effect is called "biting the cup".
Ordering tea and soup refers to the preparation of tea soup, that is, the art of tea decoction and brewing.
At the same time as ordering the soup, the tea whisk is rotated to hit and whisk the tea soup in the tea cup to make it bloom with soup, which is called blowing. On the contrary, if the soup flower cannot bite the pot, but spreads out quickly, the place where the soup meets the pot immediately reveals the "water mark", which is lost.
The morning and evening of the appearance of water marks is the basis for the quality of tea soup. Doucha wins with water marks coming out late, and going out early is negative.
There are no accidents, this tea ceremony competition, Zheng Han won in all aspects, and the victory was not one or two points.
"The soup is pure, the soup flowers are fine and even, bite the tea cup tightly, the water marks have not appeared for a long time, and the tea is excellent," Cao Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart before drinking the cup of tea that Zheng Han specially offered to him.
Today, Zheng Han's tea art level is much better than before.
Cao Yue pondered, after going back, he must torture him, when he used to make tea for him, did he desert?
"Good tea, it's really the reincarnation of a tea fairy," Zhu Chaoyang couldn't help but praise, and then slowly drank the tea, and licked his lips unsatisfied, "It's a pity that one is gone, I hope there will be a chance to see such a level of tea ceremony performance in the future." ”
picked up Jin Chengji's tea again, tasted it slowly, and finally gave an evaluation of good tea, but it was only an evaluation of these two words, and there was no more praise. The level of tea art of the two is not at the same level, Zheng Han's level is much higher than Jin Chengji, and the quality of tea is the same.
The Korean side is full of judges, and they are also very knowledgeable about the tea ceremony, and they have seen the superiority from the tea ceremony performance just now. Looking at the tea in front of you, who is high and who is low, you don't need to say much to understand.
But if they admit that the Chinese girls have a higher level of tea art than their South Korean girls, they really can't open their mouths.
If they open their mouths, they lost the first game.
How could they admit defeat in front of so many Chinese people?
The judges of the three Chinese judges have announced in public, and they all think that Zheng Han's tea ceremony level is higher than that of Jin Chengji, and it is not a little higher.
"I lost," when several Korean judges hesitated and did not say their final judgment, Kim Sung-hee walked to the middle of the venue, bowed to several judges, and then saluted Zheng Hanyingying, "Miss Zheng, I lost, I lost convinced." I hope that I will have the opportunity to ask you about the tea ceremony in the future, and I hope you will give me a lot of advice. ”
"Definitely," Zheng Han replied with a smile, "Miss Jin's tea ceremony level is also very high, and we will have the opportunity to communicate with each other in the future." ”
Compared with several judges who hesitated and didn't dare to admit defeat, this opponent named Jin Chengji was obviously several grades higher in terms of temperament and self-cultivation. In fact, Zheng Han can understand this, if the state of mind does not reach a certain height, how can he learn the tea ceremony, how can he make good tea?
People who are narrow-minded and have a small bearing are not suitable for immersing themselves in the tea ceremony at all.
This kind of opponent, even if he takes the initiative to admit defeat during the game, makes people respect from the bottom of their hearts.
Kim Sung-hee took the initiative to admit defeat, and several Korean judges who were still unwilling to announce that Zheng Han's tea ceremony level was better could only reluctantly announce Zheng Han's victory.
When it was announced that Zheng Han had won, Kim Ji-nam's face was very ugly.
Kim Sung-hee is known as the "tea fairy" by many people, and the cost of asking her to perform a tea ceremony is sky-high. He thought that Jin Chengji would win today's competition, but he didn't expect that he would lose without any suspense, which hit him hard.
Tea ceremony is a very important part of traditional culture, he originally thought that the Chinese people who only know how to make money all day long have long forgotten this traditional skill left by their ancestors, but he did not expect that everything is not so.
That Chinese girl, how could she have such exquisite tea art? And she was so beautiful
Zheng Han didn't have much of a surprise, she just gave a few more salutes to the judges, and then walked back to her own queue, as if everything was just a passing cloud. She was not shocked by the humiliation, and the more impressive the people present.
Cao Yue was full of pride, and his eyes looking at Zheng Han had a tenderness that could not be concealed.
Xu Fei and Ding Jia are a little ashamed.
