Just when everyone was worried that Lu Yu would lift a stone and hit himself in the foot, Lu Yu suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Matsuda, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet......"

As he spoke, he gently picked up a normal wide-mouth white porcelain teacup on the tea table, and said: "As the name suggests, the fragrant cup is only used for smelling incense, and this tea cup is naturally used for tea." ”

Tea cups?

Matsuda Keio's brows furrowed, his eyes rolled quickly, and he said, "Do you want to pour the tea from the smelling cup into the tea cup? Hmph! Not to mention that such an action is too cumbersome, and it is also contrary to the charm of tea to pour a small cup into a small cup and exchange it repeatedly! I think your so-called ingenuity can only be just a snake to add to it!"

"Does painting a snake add to it?" Lu Yu lifted the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Mr. Matsuda's words are wrong, this move is by no means cumbersome, but a manifestation of my Chinese etiquette state courtesy. Second, I didn't say I was going to trade the two cups. ”

"No exchange?" Matsuda Keio narrowed his eyes and snorted: "I don't want to take advantage of your words, I want to see how you are polite and how you don't exchange!"

Lu Yu bowed his head lightly and said lightly: "With this intention, I will invite Mr. Matsuda to eat a cup of tea from the carp leaping over the dragon gate." ”

Before Matsuda Keio could figure out what "carp leaps over the dragon gate" was, Lu Yu had already turned over the tea cup and covered it on top of the smelling cup containing the tea soup.

Immediately afterwards, he put his thumbs on the bottom of the tea cup and his index finger on the bottom of the smelling cup, and gently flipped his hands vertically in front of Keio Matsuda.

Brush!

After flipping, the cylindrical smell cup is already located on the top of the tea cup, and the mouth of the cup is tightly buckled at the bottom of the tea cup, and the tea soup does not leak, but everyone knows that as long as the smell cup is gently lifted, the tea soup will naturally enter the tea cup.

In this way, as Lu Yu said, even if the highest etiquette of tea ceremony with both hands is achieved, it is also to empty the smelling cup and fill the tea cup without any discount!

And Lu Yu's movements are light and natural, not only do not feel cumbersome at all, but there is also a sense of beauty of simplifying the complex, and the charm of the tea ceremony is not only undiminished, but also as sharp and agile as a stroke of genius!

Keio Matsuda was also dumbfounded when he saw this, he didn't expect that the combination of these two cups would be so wonderful, Lu Yu didn't need to say anything at this time to smack himself fiercely!

Now it's Keio Matsuda's turn to make a difficulty, how do you pick it up?

But Lu Yu obviously didn't want to make him deflated in this link, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Matsuda only needs to take it with both hands, and then pick up the smelling cup and smell the fragrance." ”

"Good ......" Matsuda Keio blushed, and although he was reluctant, he had to follow Lu Yu's prompts.

And in this way, the dignified Asian and Dongying double first-level tea people still need the guidance of a Chinese fifth-level tea person, and they have obviously made a judgment!

Lu Yu smiled slightly, didn't say much, and directly served the tea to the surrounding people one by one again in the previous way.

In addition to the surprise in everyone's hearts, they also followed Lu Yu's prompts to hold the bottom of the tea cup with their left hand, and lifted the smelling cup from the tea cup with their right hand, and turned around along the mouth of the cup.

This step is also known as "playing in the mountains and waters", which means that the mountains and rivers go back and forth between the cups, the mountains move and the water turns, and the tea rhyme rises.

Under Lu Yu's introduction, everyone nodded happily, and there was surprise and joy between their eyebrows.

Lu Yu also picked up the incense cup with one hand, put the fragrance cup in the palm of his left hand, rotated the cup mouth 90 degrees downward, faced the mouth of the cup with himself, covered the mouth of the cup with his thumb, put it under his nose, and smelled the fragrance.

This step is "like to smell the fragrance", which is to smell the meaning of the tea fragrance in the cup, and the rhyme of tea is one for drinking, two for viewing, and three for smelling...... and even aftertaste. This move is similar to Matsuda Keio's washing cup with essence tea soup and smelling incense, but because of the existence of the smelling cup and the exquisite cooperation with the tea cup, the realm is countless times higher than that of Matsuda Keio.

The aroma entered the nose, and everyone suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and unconsciously looked forward to the red and translucent Keemun black tea with a faint "golden circle" soup in the tea cup.

At this moment, Lu Yu also said leisurely: "Mr. Matsuda's tea is drunk in one gulp, and my Keemun black tea wants you to drink it dry in three sips." ”

"Why?" asked Keio Matsuda.

Lu Yu said: "This is a sip of sweet tea, and the Chinese character is three 'mouth' words, a mouthful of fragrant mouth, two mouthfuls of fresh mouthpiece, and three mouthfuls of sweet and long aftertaste. The way of tea originates from China, and every drink and peck is its way. ”

Keio Matsuda took a deep breath, and there was no arrogance and disdain in his eyes when he looked at Lu Yu!

He has studied the tea ceremony and tea skills for so many years, and now for the first time in his life, he has a heartfelt awe of a Chinese tea man! Lu Yu's tea is fresh and sweet, and the tea ceremony of Lu Yuzhi is completely different from the traditional one-stage meeting of Dongying, but it is as deep and wide as China, a big country with a brilliant civilization, and as thick as mountains and seas!

Compared with the tea ceremony shown by Lu Yu, his tea ceremony is like that of an immature child who has not yet grown up, just like a stream is to the Yangtze River and even the ocean!

After three sips, Matsuda Keio respectfully put down the teacup, knelt opposite Lu Yu and bowed deeply!

"Mr. Lu, I lost!"

For Keio Matsuda, he is arrogant and has no one in his eyes, especially looking down on Huaxia tea people. In his eyes, Huaxia tea people are the same as Huaxia tea in this world, they are the lowest existence.

But in the same way, he is a tea man, and his devotion and fanaticism for tea are not just pretentious, but even if he has deep-rooted prejudice in his heart, even if he may face life and death, he does not dare to violate his devotion to tea.

It is precisely because of this that he dared to come to China thousands of miles for a tea plant, and risked his reputation to steal Qimen black tea.

The Dongying people have always had a very contradictory situation, they only submit to the strong, and they will bully the weak for no reason. In their worldview, the weak have no dignity or power, and can be bullied at will.

In the same way, if they are facing a truly strong man, they will only choose to suffer silently and surrender unconditionally. Just as in the history of Dongying, they repeatedly and unconditionally submitted to China or those Western powers with strong ships and guns.

And now, Lu Yu's tea ceremony and tea have completely defeated all of Keio Matsuda's psychological defenses!

Lu Yu gently put down the teacup in his hand, and then raised his head proudly, and said, "I'm glad that you can honestly admit defeat, but in the same way, you must also pay the price for everything you have done to our Huaxia tea and those who love tea." ”
