Chapter 311: Wuyi Tea and the United States
Ignoring the short-term turmoil caused by Duan Shanshan's careless gaffe at the beginning, in terms of Cai Pingping's tea-making skills, she is worthy of the words "impeccable". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Regardless of whether the big red robe produced by Cai's Tea Industry was stepped on with their feet or not, in the end, Jin Yanping and the three of them each drank several cups when they were young, and they were all full of praise.
Korean artists are usually not delicate, and they can do many things for the sake of variety show effects on the show. I have been involved in wallowing in the mud or sitting on the trash can and playing bumper cars. Even Jessica "fell" into the trash can because she was too thin, and got the nickname "Bucket Sika".
What is the point of drinking a cup of tea that may have been stepped on with your feet? Didn't Director Jin say that our kimchi also has this process, and it is still a food that everyone often eats.
After overcoming the shock of the unexpected and abrupt answer at the beginning, Taeyeon and the others can't see the slightest reluctance when they drink tea.
As for whether their praise is a heartfelt experience or a polite perfunctory, only they will know.
The so-called acting training courses given to artists by Korean agencies usually refer not to the skills of playing roles in various dramas in films, television and songs, but how to give various reactions to joy, anger and sorrow when facing the public or the camera.
Looking at the three celebrity artists who were not low-profile even in the Celestial Empire bowed to him again and again to thank him, and his attitude was even more humble and solemn than most of the domestic tea guests he had entertained before, Cai Pingping couldn't believe her eyes.
I thought that the so-called number one girl group in Asia could reach this position, and there should be some condescending arrogance, right?
But in fact, their attitude is completely different from what I imagined!
"They really ...... everybody Approachable?"
Halfway through speaking, Cai Pingping paused for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, she found a word that was close to the intention she wanted to express.
"Well, from the few encounters I've had with them, it's pretty much like that. Ruoying smiled and affirmed Cai Pingping's statement.
"Korean artists, especially idols, are usually more humble because their social status is not too high, and they don't have a sense of superiority. Of course, due to the requirements of the brokerage company to which you belong, you may have to keep a certain distance from fans on some occasions or under the premise, which may give people the feeling that it is not easy to contact. Liu Kewei, who is considered a senior young man, echoed, "Isn't it completely different from what you imagined?"
Cai Pingping nodded helplessly.
Although because of the relationship between Fang Yaowen and Liu Kewei, as well as some "clues" found in Duan Shanshan's house, Cai Pingping had a bit of a preconceived sense of rejection for these young people from the beginning, but after all, it was not a deep hatred.
And Cai Pingping's own temperament also has a bit of the northerner temperament cultivated by her grandparents, and her personality is more straightforward, not a careful person.
The so-called "reaching out and not hitting the smiling person", being thanked and praised like this, the three points of anger that were originally hidden in the heart have long since disappeared.
In other words, this girl is also a person who eats soft and not hard, as long as she is smooth, don't fight against her like Duan Shanshan, she is still quite easy to please.
Out of the hospitality in the bones of the people of the Celestial Empire and the psychology that people respect me and respect me, her attitude instantly took a 180-degree turn.
"Do you still want to taste other teas? There are also Jin Junmei, Zhengshan Xiaozhong and Tieguanyin in the main tea of our tea house, if you don't dislike it, I will make a pot for you to taste?"
Not only changed from passive to active, Cai Pingping's position changed so quickly that she even had to dig out her heart and lungs.
Of course, that's also because these people were celebrities when they were young, and when they saw that each other's attitude was sincere and friendly, they couldn't help but want to show off their skills more.
After all, giving big stars the opportunity to make tea is not something every day, right?
Taeyeon and the others naturally nodded again and again, and then thanked them with a stack of "Kangsang Hamida".
So Cai Pingping turned around and left the box again, and after a while brought a few more teas.
This time, when she showed the art of tea again, it was different from the previous taciturn "just practice without talking", and enthusiastically introduced the origin of each type of tea, the production method and the origin of related legends and stories.
As a result, it was bitter for Wakasakura, after all, the Korean she learned was only a second foreign language in college. For daily conversations, she has no problem translating them. But when it comes to some relatively obscure proper nouns, she will inevitably be blind.
However, Cai Pingping explained these things, and many words are not commonly used in daily life.
Cai Pingping is a junior college student who has completed a college degree in one of the most famous tea art colleges in southern Fujian, which is slightly different from tea masters in the general sense.
The so-called tea master, in the intuitive understanding of the public, is a semi-performance and half-display special service personnel who make tea for others on occasions such as Kung Fu teahouses. In this school, the term "tea art" covers the whole process of tea planting, processing and deep processing, packaging design, marketing and consumption, and there are even traditional dance, guzheng performance, physical training, beauty, yoga and other subjects in the curriculum. The so-called narrow "tea art" is just the most superficial drop in the ocean in the major that Cai Pingping studied.
The Celestial Empire is the homeland of tea culture, but among the most tea-loving countries in the world, the Celestial Empire is not ranked very highly, and it almost does not make it into the top 20 (see Chapter 292).
Although they were historically fond of tea, the British, who gradually could not afford to drink the tea of the Celestial Empire, secretly brought tea seeds, tea plant specimens and tea workers to India from the Celestial Empire, and then there were Indian teas such as the famous Assam tea.
Although Indian tea quickly seized the market because of its cheap price, Celestial Tea still has a place in the British tea market.
It is logical that in the training that Cai Pingping has received, these tea art anecdotes have been translated into English, and they have long been familiar with it.
At this time, seeing that the temporary translator Xia Ruoying was stuck, she couldn't help but reflexively pop out a few sentences in English.
It can be regarded as a crooked fight, and one of the two American members happened to be in front of her at the moment when she was young.
Tiffany stepped up just right, and then Wakazakura flipped down.
Although her Korean level in the early days of her debut was also a well-known scumbag, after all, it was the result of comparing with the Korean natives, plus she has lived in Korea for most of the past seven years and has worked a lot of hard work, and now her Korean is no longer what it used to be.
So the scene became a scene where Cai Pingping introduced tea art knowledge and anecdotes in English, and then Tiffany helped translate it into Korean.
"So you are an American? Haha, do you know? The establishment of your United States is inseparable from the tea in my hand!"
Seeing that Tiffany's level of translating English into Korean seems to be much stronger than Ruoying's translation of Chinese into Korean, like Ruoying often needs to think before she can open her mouth to translate, and Tiffany seems to be able to listen to a sentence and immediately translate synchronously without thinking, Cai Pingping couldn't help but praise Tiffany's English.
Tiffany then honestly admits that she is actually Korean-American, in other words, English is her first native language.
Cai Pingping made a joke casually, of course, in English.
"How?" asked Tiffany, a blank brow.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once wrote a book called "A Brief History of the English-speaking Countries," in which the third volume, "The Age of Revolution," Chapter 12, "Conflict with the Americas," mentions that "John Adams (the second president of the United States] wrote: Three boatloads of Wuyi tea were poured into the sea last night, ...... you'—you must know that the big red robe you drank just now and the Jin Junmei you are now are all real Wuyi tea!"
Cai Pingping once again brought a tea talk anecdote and "teased" Tiffany effortlessly.
"Ha, I really didn't expect that the establishment of your great American nation was directly related to the tea we drink now?"
As a good best friend, Taeyeon couldn't help but tease this cute teammate after listening to this relayed by Tiffany, who had a dull expression.
"Of course, I knew about the Boston tea party, but I always thought that the tea should be Indian or Ceylon tea, after all, it was a ship of the East India Company......"
Tiffany embarrassedly said it twice in a row in English and Korean, which was kind of finding a step for herself.
"The Boston Tea Party took place in the late 18th century, while Indian tea only appeared in the early 19th century – so it can only be our Celestial Tea that triggered the War of Independence. ”
With a faint sense of pride, Cai Pingping said.
"Oh, I see, thanks for the pointers!" Tiffany nodded with a "I'm in a position today" expression.
After this episode, Cai Pingping's relationship with the three of them became a little closer.
When she finished making the tea, Kim Yeon-pyeong raised her wrist to look at the time on her watch, reminding Taeyeon that they were almost on their way to catch their next trip.
As artists, Taeyeon has naturally adapted to this kind of life of constantly rushing to the scene. So he reluctantly stood up and bowed again and again with a "Kangsang Hamida" to express his gratitude for the hospitality.
The three of them also took the initiative to pull Cai Pingping and Ruo Ying, and took out their respective mobile phones together to take several group photos as souvenirs.
According to Korean social etiquette, in just a few small talks, Cai Pingping was inevitably asked about their date of birth, as the former in eight or five years, it is undoubtedly the sister of Taeyeon in eight or nine years.
"It's a pleasure to meet Pingping Oni today, and we will come over again for tea and food when we have time!"
Before putting on a baseball cap and walking out of the box door, Taeyeon smiled and said goodbye while waving vigorously at the tea house.
