Chapter 46: The Favourite

After having this taste that surpasses the vast majority of mortals.

Lu Yu believes that if he lets himself taste the Ceylon black tea blended by Chen Juncheng again, he will definitely be able to answer a more accurate answer!

That's the difference between a normal taste and an elevated one!

However, this taste also brought a lot of trouble to Lu Yu...... If you use self-boiled water to make noodles again, it doesn't taste like that!

Although I just got the salary settled last month, I also have to save some money, after all, I need to pay out of my pocket to participate in the tea person qualification assessment later.

……

There is still one day left before the Bincheng Tea People Qualification Examination, and although Lu Yu is full of confidence, he does not dare to slack off.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan and Zheng Xi both called Lu Yu to greet him.

Zhang Yuan is still a member of the Tea Association, and he didn't say anything other than asking Lu Yu to be careful.

Of course, Zheng Xi praised Lu Yu as soon as he came up, saying that Lu Yu was exactly the same as he was back then, quite a general's demeanor, and how he was an old man back then.

Hearing this, Lu Yulian rolled his eyes...... Did this old man call to compliment me, or let me listen to your bragging?

However, in the end, Zheng Xi solemnly told him that he must muster up the spirit of 12 points to participate in this tea man qualification examination.

Although this is only a regional pre-selection assessment, it is precisely because of the primary pre-selection in each region that the supervision is not particularly strict and the fairness is relatively poor.

Especially in Bincheng, although Zheng Xi has a wide range of connections, he basically couldn't help Lu Yu because of the unhappiness with the Huaxia Tea People Federation before.

And Lu Yu is not an "honest man", and he has almost offended most of the forces in the circle in Bincheng in the past two days.

There are 10 examiners in the Bincheng Tea People Qualification Examination, and there are only three places in the local side of Bincheng.

They are an examiner sent by the Tea Association, a famous local tea person, and a local celebrity.

Needless to say, Lu Yu's speech today is already out of touch with the Tea Association.

And the quota of the famous local tea man is, of course, Master Chen Juncheng Chen.

Lu Yu estimated that after he rejected Chen Juncheng's invitation to accept apprentices in person, Chen Juncheng would definitely not vote for himself.

Then the only thing he can fight for in Bencheng is the vote of the other celebrity.

In addition, the remaining seven people are all selected groups appointed by the Huaxia Tea People Association.

The upper limit of the number of people participating in the national tea talent qualification assessment is 1,000, and the number of places allocated to Bincheng primary election is seven.

In other words, Lu Yu needs to get the top seven out of all the more than 2,000 applicants before he can participate in the national tea person qualification examination.

The pre-selection of this evaluation is divided into three stages: tea discussion, tea brewing and tea tasting.

Only candidates who receive six or more votes in each stage will be able to pass.

The remaining test takers will defend themselves in front of all the judges, and the seven people with the highest scores will be qualified for the national assessment.

Although he has enough confidence in his own strength, after all, he is almost certain to lose two votes, so Lu Yu is still at a disadvantage at present.

However, Lu Yu did not regret this at all, if he was afraid of these people's sophistication.

Then what kind of face do you have to keep saying that you have become a god-level tea man standing at the top of the world?!

I don't even have this bit of courage, and I still brag about what makes Chinese tea and tea civilization shine in the world!

……

Two days later, Bincheng Industrial Park, Bincheng Tea People's Qualification Evaluation Location.

Because the number of applicants reached more than 2,500 people, the first round of evaluation was set up in a large convention and exhibition center.

This time, Lu Yu still came by Zhang Yuan's hitchhiker.

Although the relationship between Lu Yu and the Bincheng Tea Association was very unpleasant, Zhang Yuan did not deliberately avoid Lu Yu because of this.

On the contrary, Zhang Yuan admired this friend who was about the same age as himself even more, because Lu Yu did a lot of things he wanted to do but didn't dare to do!

When the two came outside the convention and exhibition center, it was already crowded outside.

Tea people have a very high status in this world, and the qualification evaluation of tea people has naturally been very important.

Bincheng TV station, as well as special reporters from various websites in Bincheng came to the scene.

And because the primary selection and evaluation time across the country is not synchronized, there are also many reporters from other places who come here to join in the excitement and find news.

The scene was full of long guns and short cannons, and reporters kept chasing the hot people interviewed by the tea man evaluation.

……

It was still early, the two of them simply didn't rush to get out of the car first, Zhang Yuan smiled at Lu Yu and said: "Dude, you have really become popular in the past two days, and now you have been listed as one of the top ten popular candidates in Bincheng!"

"Really?" Lu Yu touched his nose a little confused.

It's not that he is pretending to be confused, he was preparing for the assessment all day yesterday, so he didn't pay attention to the situation on the Internet.

Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "You don't know this, your master Zhou Anping has been turned into a salted fish, you must be the biggest favorite to win the championship!"

Saying that, he shook his head helplessly, "But I still want to advise you Lu Yu, the tree is very popular, this evaluation is not so simple." ”

Lu Yu lifted the corners of his mouth and asked, "How do you say it?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Do you know who our biggest favorite in Bincheng is?"

"Who?"

"Xiao Chen!"

"Xiao Chen, you mean Chen Juncheng's disciple?"

"Of course it's him! Master Chen is currently the highest-ranking tea man in Bincheng City, and his disciple is of course the most popular candidate to participate in the evaluation!"

Zhang Yuan said this, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, it seems that Xiao Chen was also present on the day of the meeting of the Tea Association, you should know ......."

But just yesterday, Xiao Chen posted a message on Weibo, saying that he must win the champion of the Bincheng tea people primary selection evaluation this year, and trampled some arrogant people who don't know the height of the sky...... He's talking about you, right?"

Lu Yu nodded lightly and said, "He seems to be right, I really don't know how high the sky is." ”

"Poof! it's really you!" Zhang Yuan laughed dryly, and said helplessly: "I didn't expect you to even offend Xiao Chen, he is Master Chen's only official disciple, Master Chen will definitely help him!"

Lu Yu smiled indifferently, it wasn't just Xiao Chen who he had offended, I'm afraid that Master Chen wouldn't give him any more good looks, right?

But this has long been expected by myself, and it is not news.

At this time, Zhang Yuan continued: "You have offended two of the three local judges in Bincheng, it seems that you can only try to win the remaining judges to ensure the number of votes......
