Chapter 224: Incense Identification Contest (2)
Xiao Er saw that only Lin Bining took out the wooden card among the group, and said to Bai Yi and them tactfully: "A few people, please go up to the second floor to watch the game." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Leaving Lin Bining here alone, Bai Yi was not at ease, and told Tao Yi to go to the door to pay the money, and brought a wooden sign back for everyone, he shook the wooden sign in his hand and said, "So, can we stay here?" ”
"Nature, nature." The little two hurriedly smiled.
This boy is really generous, and he spends money just to watch downstairs.
The people who saw this scene next to him were all amazed, muttering in a low voice that these people were really rich.
It wouldn't be cost-effective for most people to spend a silver or two to watch the game, so there were about sixty or so people left.
Shi Jian played with the wooden card in his hand and said curiously: "These little two don't seem to be unfamiliar with the competition at all, could it be that it was held in Qinfang Building before?" ”
A man dressed in orange and bright clothes said with a smile: "Little brother doesn't know, this Qinfang Building is the restaurant of the Hua family, and the Hua Ye is the vice president of the Xiang Chamber of Commerce. ”
"The Flower Family?" Lin Bining remembered the previous incident of the incense shop and asked, "But the owner of the Hua family's incense shop?" ”
"Naturally, in addition to the flower family in the east of the city, how can there be a second flower family." The man smiled proudly.
The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and a tall man walked up to the stage, his loud voice could be heard clearly even on the second floor, and he said with a smile: "The incense identification competition is about to start, I am the master of ceremonies Tian Renfei, and now I invite three judges this year, the first is Mr. Han Wenyu, the president of our incense chamber of commerce, Mr. Han Wenyu, the second is the vice president Hua Mianjian Hua Ye, and the third is the incense maker Master Lu Jinlu." ”
The three judges sat down one by one with the introduction of the master of ceremonies, Han Wenyu was an old man with a long beard, Hua Mianjian was the most luxuriously dressed middle-aged man among them, with a smile on his face, looking as approachable as the uncle next door, and the last Lu Xiangshi was tall and thin, with a serious face.
After the judges sat down, Tian Siyi introduced the rules of the competition, the same as the old man said before, and then said: "I announce that the competition will start now, and now invite the No. 1 contestant to the stage." ”
Contestants do not need to introduce themselves in the preliminary round, so in order to save time, they will directly start to identify the incense materials.
The first to go up was a chubby young man, who wiped his sweat with a handkerchief as soon as he came on stage, looking extremely nervous.
The two juniors took down the red cloth on the table, and thirty white porcelain dishes the size of vinegar dishes were neatly placed on the table, and Tian Siyi said with a smile: "This son, please start." ”
No. 1 stood still behind the table, picked up the first porcelain plate with his short and fat hand, and saw a small white round piece on it, he put it on the end of his nose and sniffed it, picked it up and put it in his hand and looked at it upside down, saw that there were yellow traces on the surface, put Bai Zhi back into the porcelain plate, and said the answer cautiously: "Bai Zhi, this should be a medium grade." ”
Several judges did not say anything to indicate that the identification was correct, and there were two people next to the stage who were recording his correct number, and Xiao Er, who was on the side, hurriedly put the identified incense materials on the other table.
After all the other incense materials such as the identified incense materials have been recognized, they are re-placed on the table.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief again before proceeding to the next one. No. 1 said twelve in a row, and then made mistakes twice in a row, and the last time he didn't answer more than five breaths, handed back the wooden card, and regretted stepping down.
Tian Siyi called No. 2 here, and Xiao Er put twelve porcelain plates on the other side, and the table was restored to thirty kinds of incense materials.
None of the ten people in front recognized more than fifty kinds of incense materials, and it was not until the eleventh that a hundred kinds of incense materials were identified, and the people watching upstairs burst into applause, Tian Siyi smiled and asked the person's name, congratulations to the first contestant to enter tomorrow's finals, and the two people on the stage were also busy writing his name on another piece of paper.
The morning competition lasted until noon, and the first 27 competitors had finished their races, with a total of three qualified for tomorrow's finals.
In fact, it is not particularly difficult to identify the incense materials, but the difficult thing is to divide the grade, which is also a link that tests the eyesight of the contestants.
The afternoon game was not at the right time, and they all stood there in the morning, Lin Bining had lunch, went back to the inn to rest for a while, and then went to Qinfang Building.
There were more people on the second floor than in the morning, and there were only half of the contestants left in the lobby, and two more people entered the finals before Lin Bining took the stage.
On the stage, Tian Master of Ceremonies shouted "No. 35", Bai Yi pinched Lin Bining's hand to cheer her silently, she turned her head sideways at him and smiled confidently, and calmly stepped onto the stage.
Hua Mianjian saw that it was Lin Bining who came up, his eyes flashed with a bright light, and his body leaned forward unconsciously.
Lin Bining is the youngest contestant so far, Tian Siyi said with a smile: "I didn't expect No. 35 to be so young, let's look forward to this little boy's good performance." Please, is it time to start? ”
She smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
Tian Siyi made a "please" gesture, she walked to the table and picked up the porcelain plate with her left hand, only to see a brownish brown and somewhat chubby oval thing lying quietly in the middle, with fine wrinkles on the face, and four sepals at the top bent inward into a hook.
She recognized it at a glance, and blurted out: "Mother cloves, top grade." ”
There were people in the crowd of onlookers upstairs who didn't understand the incense materials at all and only came to join in the fun, and said with a smile after hearing the words: "I've heard that cats, dogs, and males and females, haha, incense materials can also be divided into males and females?" ”
The judges at the bottom had no objections, and Lin Bining had already picked up the next incense material to identify.
Next to the man was the fat man who was the first to go up in the morning, and explained in a low voice: "Lilacs have male and female, male cloves are cloves that have not bloomed after the buds are dried, and female cloves are cloves after the fruits of the cloves are ripe and dried." ”
After hearing this, the man wanted to express a few words of emotion, but the person next to him was not happy to be noisy, so he whispered a few words and quieted down again.
There are nearly a thousand kinds of incense materials in the Chiba Pavilion, and Lin Bining does not know any of them, and it is easy to identify a hundred kinds of incense materials, and she has not missed one from beginning to end, and it took less than half a stick of incense to complete the competition.
The expression on her face was still calm, and there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Tian Siyi was so excited that she seemed to have won the game, and said excitedly: "This is the youngest contestant to enter the finals today, and it took the least time, and I haven't identified a fragrance by mistake." What is this little boy called? ”
Lin Bining replied: "Shen Ning." ”
Tian Siyi smiled and said, "Young Master Shen is really powerful, is the family in the incense material business?" ”
She saw that the No. 36 contestant on the stage was already waiting, so she smiled and said, "It's not too late for the emcee to ask these questions tomorrow, it's important to continue the competition now." ”
At this time, Tian Siyi came back to his senses from the excitement, there were many people participating in the preliminary round, and he really shouldn't ask anything, so he hurriedly said: "Then the No. 36 contestant is invited to the stage." ”
