A moment later, Qi Qiuchang had already returned to Lu Yu with a few middle-aged people.

These people are either Qi Qiuchang's friends or his disciples, and they all have a high reputation in the Huaxia tea world. Qi Qiuchang also intended to expand Lu Yu's connections this time, so he introduced these people to Lu Yu.

But they talked happily.

And the topic naturally involuntarily led to this tea fair.

"Now that Mr. Qian, Master Sun, Master Ji, and Mr. Huo have arrived, Elder Zhu should be about to arrive, right?"

"It should be about the same as the situation, although Zhu is old, but he is a well-deserved leader in the Chinese tea industry today, and it is impossible for him not to visit this occasion today. ”

"But Old Zhu's body is ......" One person shook his head slightly: "A few days ago, I heard his disciple Master Li say that now the old man's hand has begun to tremble even with the teacup, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it on this occasion!"

Qi Qiuchang also sighed lightly: "Yes! Old Zhu is now nearly 100 years old, and I still remember the last time I went to visit his old man's home, his spirit was already in a trance. Even the Yizhou green tea I brewed for him was a little colder, and he didn't taste it...... Alas, the years are not forgiving!"

A disciple of Qi Qiuchang on the side asked cautiously, "Master, with Elder Zhu's current situation, I'm afraid that the position of the top tea person will change soon, right?" Who do you think is most likely to ......?"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people immediately looked at Qi Qiuchang. They all knew that although Qi Qiuchang was only a second-level tea person, he had a very wide network in the Huaxia tea industry.

Lu Yu also showed a curious look.

Through this chat, he really learned about the top five tea people in the Chinese tea industry.

Among the five top tea people, the one with the highest reputation and the highest seniority is undoubtedly the Zhu Lao that everyone just said, and of course, the oldest is also this Zhu Lao.

When Zhu Lao was young, he came from a famous family in the south, and he can also be said to be a genius.

There are also rumors in the Chinese tea industry that Zhu Lao never uses a second sip of tea, and can judge the advantages and disadvantages of this tea with only one sip, and even distinguish the approximate geographical location of this tea growth!

Although one side of the water and soil raises one side of tea, but the ability to distinguish the growth area from the subtle differences in the tea soup, looking at the whole of China, and even the whole world, I am afraid that almost no one can do it.

Even the current Lu Yu is not at all sure!

Not to mention that Zhu Lao only needs to taste one bite!

In addition, Zhu Lao has extremely strict requirements for the water temperature of brewing tea, even accurate to within three degrees Celsius!

What kind of tea is best brewed with what temperature water, and what consequences will occur once the temperature deviates, these questions that even ordinary tea people can hardly fully answer, are as simple as eating and drinking water in Zhu Lao's place.

In fact, almost most of the different water temperatures used to brew various teas recognized in the world are determined by Zhu Lao!

It can be said that Zhu Lao's influence in the world tea world is something that all other tea people in China should look up to!

But even such a legendary tea man has reached the twilight of his life.

When Zhu Lao was there, no one in the Huaxia tea world dared to speak lightly.

But now that Zhu is old and his health is deteriorating, the rest of the tea people are naturally ready to move.

In addition to Zhu Lao, there are four top tea people in Huaxia.

Qian Sen Qian Lao is almost the same era as Zhu Lao, and he should take over Zhu Lao's position in terms of seniority. It's just that Qian Lao's health is not ideal, if he really replaces him, I am afraid that it will not be long before the leader of the Chinese tea industry will change again.

Except for Qian Lao, the other three are all in their prime.

Even the eldest Sun Haifeng Sun Master is only approaching the age of ancient rarity.

And Master Huo Kaiguang, who always calls himself "Mr.", is now just in his early fifties.

As for Ji Hongge, who has just been promoted to the top for a few years, he is not yet forty years old.

These three are all very likely to inherit the position of Zhu Lao and lead the Huaxia tea altar, but it is unknown who will die.

Of course, this is only the battle for the apex, and more tea people are concerned about who can be promoted from the first-class tea people to the ranks of the top tea people!

The last time the dispute between Ji Hongge and Li Yanyi had caused a huge sensation in the tea industry.

Ji Hongge counterattacked Li Yanyi, who ranked seventh, as the nineteenth first-class tea person in the country, and crushed the remaining dozen top-ranked first-class tea people, and the fact that the counterattack successfully ranked directly among the top ranks in China has become a textbook-like case.

Now, if there is another vacancy among the top tea people, then I am afraid that at least 80 of the 100 first-class tea people in the country will participate in the competition! Even the disciples of Qi Lao are eager to try.

You can imagine what a terrible scene it must have been!

In the eyes of everyone, Qi Qiuchang groaned for a moment and said with a smile: "Since you want to hear it, then I will say it casually, but this is just my family's words, and I can't do a lot of ......."

Everyone hurriedly nodded their heads and listened.

Qi Qiu said: "Among the four top masters, Qian Lao is already in a semi-retired state, and he is bound to be unwilling to fight anymore. In terms of age and qualifications, Master Sun naturally has a great advantage, he has been a top tea man for more than 20 years, and he is better than the other two in terms of prestige and achievement. And I'm afraid you don't know, right? Master Sun's granddaughter and Mr. Huo's nephew have already tied the knot!"

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion among the surrounding people!

Doesn't this mean that Master Sun and Mr. Huo have an in-law relationship?! If this is the case, the two will definitely stand on the same side!

A person next to him said, "What does the teacher mean that Master Sun has almost confirmed that he has reached the top?"

Qi Qiuchang shook his head with a smile: "I'm just talking casually, after all, Ji Hongge can't be underestimated, when she was promoted to the top tea people's competition, this woman was full of means, and she was very decisive...... Between the two!"

Although Qi Qiuchang didn't say anything to death in the end, Lu Yu clearly saw that Qi Qiuchang had fallen to Master Sun and Mr. Huo again.

And seeing Qi Qiuchang's attitude towards Ji Hongge, presumably his relationship with Ji Hongge is far from being as harmonious as that of Master Sun and others......

Really!

Before Lu Yu could continue to think about it, someone on the side smiled and said, "Master, you and Master Sun have always been good friends, if Master Sun can reach the top, you should soon be promoted to a first-class tea person, right?"

When the rest of the disciples or tea people heard this, they also smiled and congratulated each other.

Over the years, although Qi Qiuchang has a high reputation, he is already old, and he has not made much achievements in tea, so he has not been promoted to become a first-class tea person.

But if Master Sun really became a leader in the Huaxia tea industry, then Qi Qiuchang's chances of promotion would be much greater.

The fact that he can't become a first-class tea man has always been Qi Qiuchang's heart disease hidden in the deepest part of his heart, and when he heard this, the old man suddenly smiled and nodded frequently!

And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the main entrance of the venue!

One of Qi Qiuchang's disciples' eyes lit up and said, "With such a big movement, it must be Elder Zhu who is here!"
