Chapter 560: Tea, harmony is precious
In this way, it seems that this tea competition has an answer in the hearts of all tea customers.
In other words, looking at the essence through the appearance, from Yang Huairen's perspective, what he sees may be different from other tea drinkers.
What he saw, in addition to Lao Suntou's superb tea art, also thought that as an experienced craftsman, many of his skills and techniques may have been realized from his usual labor.
His tea skills are high, and from another aspect, it also indirectly proves that he is the kind of skilled craftsman Yang Huairen is looking for.
Lao Zhutou's face was a little ugly, in fact, he also knew in his heart that Lao Sun Tou's tea drama today was indeed a cut above him, but in the last two tea fighting competitions, he had fallen behind, and he was somewhat unwilling.
As the judges, the tea customers already know it, but they are still waiting for the old shopkeeper of the tea house with the highest tea art among all to stand up and speak.
The old shopkeeper still had a kind and calm smile on his face, and nodded slightly to the two people who participated in the tea fighting competition, expressing his gratitude to them for this tea art performance.
"The tea fight between the two has ended, and as a result, everyone must have their own answers. How old is the old man, and the old man will determine how it is? ”
The tea guests did not object, and bowed slightly to express their approval of the old shopkeeper's judgment.
The old shopkeeper invited the old grandson and the old Zhu from behind the coffee table and stood on his left and right sides.
"The performance of the shopkeeper Zhu is quite wonderful, presumably the old man does not need to repeat it, since the two of you had a tea fight a few months ago, the skills of the shopkeeper Zhu in the tea art have made great progress, and we are obvious to all."
Then he turned to the old Sun Tou's side, "Brother Sun's performance can be said to be an eye-opener for us, the images in the five tea cups are different, but they can be fused into a whole, turning into a well-layered picture of flowing clouds and mountains and streams, it can be seen that Brother Sun's tea art has been exquisite to the realm of perfection." ”
Hearing this, Yang Huairen felt that the old shopkeeper seemed to be about to announce that Lao Sun Tou had won this tea fighting competition, but unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper paused, but said something that surprised everyone.
"In view of this, if you let the old man judge, the old man believes that tea is precious to harmony, so the result of the tea fight, the two are tied, and there is no difference."
From everyone's faces, Lao Zhutou seemed to see everyone's surprise. From his heart, he was not very convinced by the old grandson.
The two can be said to have grown up together since childhood, but in the past few decades of growth, it seems that the old grandson is better than him in everything he does.
He was stronger than him, taller than him, and he was literate together as children, as if his grandchildren were faster than him.
Later, although the two had different family backgrounds, in their respective industries, Lao Suntou's fame, if it can be compared, was half a point higher than him.
Unexpectedly, when they got old, they loved tea art at the same time, and the result was that the two of them came and went to fight tea a few times, but they were defeated.
If it was before today, he would definitely not be convinced, always thinking that in the elegant matter of tea fighting, he should be higher than the old grandson who is a mason.
But today's tea fight, he is about to lose again, which can't help but make him depressed.
However, Lao Zhutou is also an open-minded person, on weekdays, he and Lao Sun Tou, a pair of little old men who are enemies, ridicule each other, and even scold each other, which is a common thing, but in fact, both sides do not take it to heart.
He values victory or defeat, but his heart is bright, not dark, and he will not do anything to win a tea fight.
Just now, Lao Sun Tou's superb tea dividing skills, he, like other tea guests, was also very excited to see it, and he was extremely impressed, and he also had his own judgment on today's victory or defeat.
If he loses, he loses, it's not that he can't lose, but if he wants to lose, he also wants to lose, so he can disagree, but he doesn't admit it if he loses, and then he has to use strong words and quibbles.
So when the old shopkeeper said that the two of them were tied, Lao Zhutou thought that this was the old shopkeeper's order to calm things down and prevent the two of them from continuing to fight, so he made this kind of judgment that the two of them fought and made a peace.
"Old shopkeeper, all tea guests......"
Lao Zhu Tou stood up and saluted everyone in a circle, "In this tea fight, my Lao Zhu lost, and Lao Sun Tou's skills are indeed better." ”
The old shopkeeper's face showed a faint smile, and the old grandson condensed his eyebrows and thought for a while, then stood up and humbly said, "Brother Zhu is too modest, in my grandson's opinion, Brother Zhu's tea art is equally exquisite, and it is really difficult to distinguish between you and me." ”
What Lao Sun Tou said was not deliberately humble and ridiculous, but from the heart.
In terms of the skills of the two, just looking at the surface, he is indeed slightly superior. But when he saw that Lao Zhutou had made amazing progress in tea art in just a few months, it seemed that he didn't have any advantages at all.
The tea splitting techniques of the two are similar, but he has taken advantage of his long-term advantages as a craftsman, and his arm strength and skills are slightly higher than Lao Zhutou.
Yang Huairen's humility towards the two at this time saw the open-mindedness of the two, and after thinking about it again, the two old men did not obey anyone from the beginning, and they were still fighting with each other, and now they are like brothers, friends and brothers, which really makes people feel that these two old men are really cute.
The tea guests also began to whisper to each other, and it seemed that everyone had their own opinions.
The old shopkeeper stood up again and said, "Hehe, in this case, the old man has a way to prove that the old man's judgment is fair and just." ”
The crowd quieted down and listened to what the old shopkeeper had come up with that would be convincing.
The old shopkeeper instructed Dr. Tea to pour the tea that the two had just divided into the teacups of all the tea guests present, and motioned for everyone to taste the tea cooked by the two of them, and what kind of difference there was.
At this time, the tea for the two was already warm, just in time. Yang Huairen took two tea cups from his table and asked Dr. Tea to pour in the tea that the two had just brewed.
After drinking, Yang Huairen seemed to understand the intention of the old shopkeeper's words. With Yang Huairen's unusually keen taste, he didn't tell the difference between the two teas.
Maybe it's like he cooks, although it is different people, but using the same ingredients and steps to make a delicious dish, maybe there is a difference in the beauty of the technique, but in terms of taste, there will be no obvious difference.
Maybe we have to go back to the truth of looking at the essence through the appearance, whether it is food or tea, the essence is still their taste......
