Chapter Seventy-Five: Preparing Earl Grey's Tea

It turned out to be Chen Juncheng presiding over this evaluation?!

Although the applause from the audience is still warm, there is no shortage of discussions.

The reason is simple.

After the results of the evaluation were announced on the day of the evaluation, many people already knew that Xiao Chen was Chen Juncheng's apprentice!

In this case, Chen Juncheng was still asked to make the question and preside over the evaluation.

It's definitely unfair!

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly at Lu Yu, shook his head and patted the latter's shoulder.

The meaning is obvious.

Since Chen Juncheng did not take into account his reputation and "avoid suspicion".

That is to make his apprentice Xiao Chen a champion!

Lu Yu didn't fluctuate much.

Because Zheng Keke had already reminded him of this situation before this.

It's just that he really didn't expect that Chen Juncheng would tear the last "fig leaf" so thoroughly.

……

In the midst of applause.

Chen Juncheng, who was dressed in Tang costume, walked onto the stage with a smile, without any embarrassed look on his face.

"Since Vice Mayor Zhang and the judges can trust Chen. ”

"Then Chen Mouben will not give up......"

As he spoke, he glanced at the audience and said with a smile: "But don't get me wrong!"

"Chen is not the only one in the final evaluation of this additional test. ”

"Including Qi Lao, all the evaluation judges will vote on the results of the additional test. ”

"The two would-be tea people who get the most votes are the final winners!"

With that, he turned his gaze in one direction.

Sure enough, Qi Lao and other ten judges were all present.

And Vice Mayor Zhang was also sitting on the side with a smile on his face, nodding slightly to everyone.

Hearing this, many people nodded suddenly.

It's just that having said that, after all, Chen Juncheng is still the author and host.

Lu Yu still has a slim chance!

……

Lu Yu also looked in the direction of the judges' seat at this time.

It was facing Qi Qiu's eyes with Qi Qiu's elders who had come over.

Qi Lao smiled slightly apologetically at Lu Yu and shook his head lightly.

For this situation, Qi Lao is obviously helpless.

Lu Yu also smiled in return.

Of course he understood Qi Lao.

Not to mention that Qi Lao and himself were originally just friends of Pingshui.

Even if Qi Lao really has the heart to help himself, I'm afraid he is also powerless.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

After all, Chen Juncheng is a local tea man in Bincheng!

……

That's when it happened.

Chen Juncheng continued on stage: "To save time, I will first talk about the topic of this additional test. ”

Immediately, a staff member moved two tea tables and some materials to the table.

The items on both tea tables are identical.

In addition to the must-have glass tea set and kettle.

There are also two paper packets of different sizes.

Chen Juncheng said: "Chen has lived overseas all the year round, and during this time, he also knows a little about European tea. ”

"Everyone here must have heard of the name 'Earl Grey'. ”

Earl Grey?!

There was a commotion among the people present.

In this world, if tea lovers don't know Earl Grey tea, then it will only make people laugh out of their big teeth!

Earl Grey tea, also known as Earl Grey tea.

Legend has it that it was invented by a famous British Earl of Grey.

This tea has a unique flavor and a rich and charming aroma.

It was soon admired by the British high society and became popular all over the world.

I heard Chen Juncheng mention Earl Grey tea, and then saw those things on the table.

Lu Yu couldn't help but nodded slightly, he probably already knew what the topic was......

Not only him, but even Zhang Yuan beside him suddenly realized.

Zhang Yuan said softly: "Is it to make Earl Grey tea on the spot? But it seems that the material is wrong!"

Lu Yu also nodded and said, "It's true that one ...... is missing."

Zhang Yuan said: "Well, it stands to reason that there should be a bottle of bergamot oil, but there is no one on the table." ”

"Bergamot oil?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Zhang Yuan nodded as a matter of course: "Ah! Of course it's bergamot oil!"

When he saw Lu Yu's blank look, he couldn't help but cover his face.

"You don't even know the recipe for Earl Grey, do you?"

"It's over, it's over! It seems that this problem is out of your death hole......"

While Zhang Yuan was frustrated, Chen Juncheng also continued to speak.

"You guessed it right, the topic this time is that two would-be tea people make a cup of Earl Grey tea on the spot!"

"The tea they make will be tasted by 10 of our judges. ”

"Whoever makes the best flavor will be the winner today!"

"Next, please invite the two additional testers, Xiao Chen and Lu Yu to the stage!"

Applause rang out again.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Chen, who was already eager to try, strode onto the stage with his head held high.

But Lu Yu touched his chin and hesitated.

Suddenly, he pulled Xiao Shen Xuan beside him and whispered a few words in her ear.

After doing this, he walked slowly to the stage.

Two young people.

A majestic and arrogant.

A cynical, light and breeze.

Everyone's eyes lit up at once!

These two are both young talents and rising stars in the Bincheng tea scene!

Such a pinnacle duel must be very exciting!

Xiao Chen raised his chin and looked at Lu Yu, his eyes showing arrogance.

"Lu Yu, I said yesterday that the first place is mine!"

Lu Yu smiled slightly, suddenly turned his eyes, and waved his hand in the direction of the next stage.

That's where Zheng Keke is.

And Xiao Shen Xuan didn't know when she also ran to Zheng Keke's side.

In addition to her, several old men also beckoned to Lu Yu.

It just so happened that these old men Lu Yu also knew each other, and they were the old men who participated in the tea fight in the Maoxiang Teahouse.

This made Lu Yu a little surprised, but he didn't expect that several of them would also come to the tea party.

……

But in this way, Xiao Chen was once again directly ignored by Lu Yu.

It wasn't until Lu Yu finished saying hello that he turned around and smiled, "Huh, what did you just say?"

"You ......"

It was as if all his strength was hitting a pile of cotton.

Xiao Chen's face turned black with anger, and he snorted angrily and stopped talking.

Chen Juncheng frowned slightly beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since you are ready, then the game starts now." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the paper packets on the two tea tables and said, "In the small bag is Assam black tea." ”

"Inside the big bag are dried calendula and safflower, which are all ingredients for the Earl Grey tea. ”

"But the only thing missing is bergamot oil. ”

This is also one of the questions of this additional test. ”

"In the absence of bergamot oil, you have to find the ingredients on the spot to make Earl Grey tea!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized!

No wonder there is no bergamot oil on the tea table.

It turned out that the real topic turned out to be finding an alternative to bergamot oil!

In fact, it's normal to think about it.

Although Earl Grey tea is a popular tea drink in Europe.

But the vast majority of people who have studied tea in depth know the general recipe.

For example, Zhang Yuan discovered the problem of no bergamot oil at the beginning.

Some people even know the ratio of the various ingredients needed to make Earl Grey tea.

If Lu Yu and Xiao Chen, who participated in the competition, happen to know.

That's going to be a lot of fun!

But now it's different!

Without the key bergamot oil, what kind of substitutes will they be looking for?!

Of course, more people think of another question......

As a disciple of Chen Juncheng, would Xiao Chen have known the topic from the beginning?

Could he have already prepared a replacement?!
