"Since the championship of the Tea Ceremony Sword Club is so important, will anyone use dishonorable means to win it?" Xiao Nan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask more. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's not it, it is precisely because this matter is too important, no one dares to do this, once this precedent is set, every tea party in the future will become a place for everyone to conspire to fight, so that the quality of tea no one to pay attention to, the quality is not guaranteed, the market will soon be destroyed, once the market is destroyed, the final damage in addition to the majority of consumers and our tea merchants, so put the cart before the horse, the misfortune of not only the official family, but also the major tea merchants."

"The official family is convicted of a very serious crime, once the crime is confirmed, there is no emotion to talk about, and the death penalty is directly imposed! Under this severe punishment, coupled with the joint supervision of major businesses, even if there are occasional selfish people who want to make trouble, they do not dare to act rashly, so competition is competition, and if you want to win the championship, it depends on the quality of the tea itself. Hearing this, the owner of Ouyang Zhuang couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Xiao Nan was relieved when she heard this, as long as she competed with strength, even if she lost, it was nothing, what she was most afraid of was this kind of tea party and all kinds of vicious competition and manipulative competitions in later generations.

Thinking of all kinds of later generations, Xiao Nan is quite emotional, in this distant feudal dynasty era, everyone understands the truth in their hearts, but in later generations, many people do not understand, whether it is a businessman or a politician, they only focus on immediate interests, in order to quickly get money and rights, everyone does things regardless of the consequences, no means, the whole society, from the present, interests are in charge, no one wants to consider long-term development planning, in such an overall atmosphere, the market has long become a pot of porridge, Countless inferior and inferior coins are pressed on top of good coins, making people breathless......

"Aunt Xiao, why are you in a daze?" Ouyang Zhuang on the side called Xiao Nan a few times, and found that she had no reason to react, and after a closer look, he found that although the girl's eyes were on his face, he didn't know where to go, obviously he was out of the world, and couldn't help but reach out and slap her shoulder angrily and funny.

"Huh?" Xiao Nan was slapped by him like this, and suddenly came back to her senses, she shook her head slightly, put behind many unpleasant memories of her previous life, and turned her attention to Ouyang Zhuang, Ouyang ......

On April 5th, after breakfast, Xiao Nan entered the venue with Ouyang Zhuang and Song Qiuyi, Song Qiuyi did not deal in tea before, before that, he only participated in the tea ceremony sword meeting, and came in as an invited guest, Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce is one of the top ten commercial houses in the Great Song Dynasty in the past three years.

They entered the preliminary evaluation area of Maojian District, after Xiao Nan came in, he was separated from Ouyang Zhuang Owner, and sat in his own seat with Song Qiuyi, Xiao Nan participated in the competition with a tea merchant under the Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce, Song Qiuyi, the head of the club, is her top boss, and she wants to enter the competition with her, there are a total of eleven Maojian manufacturers who come to participate in this meeting, Xinyang Maojian and Xiao Nan have a total of eight, and the other three are from Wufeng Maojian in Hubei. (Note, during the Song Dynasty, the provinces usually used what roads and what roads were commensurate, such as Hubei, which was called Jinghu North Road at that time.) ）

After Xiao Nan sat down, put the two boxes of tea on the table, and waited for the preliminary evaluation to begin, the eleven major Maojian tea merchants gathered together, and they inevitably estimated each other, in addition to Xiao Nan, the youngest of the merchants present was in his thirties, and the oldest was in his early fifties.

Now suddenly inserted into such a yellow-haired girl, everyone's eyes fell on her, Xiao Nan is just sixteen this year, in order to facilitate travel, she is wearing a cyan men's gown, the long hair on the top of her head is fixed on the top of her hair by a silver hair ring, and the back is draped on her shoulders at will.

Well, this girl's appearance and temperament are not bad, but her age looks up, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, look at her dress, she shouldn't be married yet, such a young boudoir female tea merchant, or a newcomer to the tea industry, can she really have good goods in her hands? Isn't it that the Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce relied on its own family's big business and found a relationship to get an invitation letter, just to let her squeeze in and have a long experience? In addition to the owner of Ouyang Zhuang at the scene, this is the first impression and guess of others on her.

Although everyone thinks that this girl has a good bearing, but no one thinks that she really has any great products in her hands, (except for Ouyang) not only not optimistic, most of them are a little disapproving, although the cake of the tea market is not small, it may be that the veteran businessmen who have gained a firm foothold in this industry have made tea for generations, Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce has developed very rapidly in recent years, but you have developed fiercely, and it is also a chamber of commerce that has never set foot in the tea market.

Xiao Nan and Song Qiuyi ignored these sights, Song Qiuyi has been in the mall for 20 years, what kind of thing has not been experienced, there are only a few angry eyes, how can he put it in his eyes, as for Xiao Nan, she decided to come to the tea party, and before her products were not unveiled, she had already prepared to be despised by him.

However, the people who can come to participate in the competition, the quality is good, even if the heart is dissatisfied, the face will not show, everyone looked at the evaluation, then silently looked away, waiting for the initial evaluation to begin, everyone waited for a long time, after the eleven merchants arrived, about a pillar of incense time, five tea tasters arrived at the judges' seat.

After the evaluation began, soon two workers in uniforms came to the tea merchants to take tea, each tea merchant's seat has two white ceramic tea bowls, the bowls are labeled with the contestants' own names and seat numbers, the people who come to take the tea take out half a bowl of tea from everyone's tea box and put it into the tea bowl, and then use a black cloth to seal the name on the cup, and then put it into the blue in their hands, and after taking the tea of all the contestants, they will be presented to the tasting table together.

Handed over to the five tea tasters on the judges' seat, cross-tasting scoring, because all the names on the bowl are sealed, when the waiter who filled the tea put the bowl, it was also mixed, and when the tea bowl was put on the evaluation table, the taster knew which bowl represented which business, so that the possibility of cheating was eliminated, and everyone could only rely on their own professional knowledge and literacy, through the appearance, smell, and brewed tea, aroma and taste one by one, after tasting, and then give each tea bowl their own score.
