Chapter 67: Unpretentious

The tea brewing process of the two sides ended separately, and the incense on the case was just extinguished at this time, and at this time, Yue Lin and Yang Wanli, as well as the ten judges led by Wu Lao, all walked into the pavilion.

Subsequently, at Yue Lin's suggestion, the ten judges began to comment on the tea brewed by both parties.

"Wait! There's something to say below! Just when the ten people led by Wu Lao were about to start tasting, Lu Fan suddenly spoke out to stop everyone.

Wu Lao and the others couldn't help but feel puzzled, not understanding what this young boy was going to do.

Ye Mingming, who was standing on the side, found an opportunity at this moment, so he sneered: "The so-called tea ceremony is not just a matter of tongue!" It's a foregone conclusion at this moment, what's the matter, cowardice? ”

Ye Mingming's ridiculed words caused the audience to burst into laughter.

However, Yue Lin, who presided over this tea fight, did not have the slightest surprise, and seemed to have expected this, so he asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"My lord, Xiaomin wants a fair review!" Lu Fan gave Yue Lin a deep salute and said his own opinion.

"Bastard! Do you think we will be biased and other ten judges? ”

When Wu Lao heard this, he immediately became angry, and before Yue Lin could speak, he couldn't help but reprimand angrily. Just now, he still looked at the young man in front of him differently, but he didn't expect the other party to doubt his fairness, how could this not make him angry.

"Yellow-mouthed erector, too arrogant!"

"Extremely arrogant, I have been a judge of the Tea Fighting Conference for many years, how can I allow you kid to speculate!"

“……”

After Wu Lao's angry rebuke, the rest of the people also echoed and expressed their dissatisfaction with Lu Fan to Yue Lin.

Yue Lin waved his hand to signal everyone to silence, and after the group was suspended, Yue Lin looked around at everyone with a slight frown, and his eyes fell on Wu Lao: "This Lu Fan is petitioning the official, and before he explains the reason, what kind of system is he shouting, do you still have the existence of the official in your eyes?" ”

Although the voice was not loud, the majesty of the official position for a long time made everyone chill, especially Wu Lao, who took the lead, and saluted in trepidation: "My lord, please forgive the sin of old decay and transgression!" ”

As soon as Wu Lao's voice fell, everyone followed to ask Lord Zhizhou for their guilt. But Yue Lin didn't seem to buy it, and still stared at everyone coldly without saying a word.

At this time, Yang Wanli played a very good role in adjusting, and seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate, he said in a deep voice: "How can Lord Yue have the same knowledge as you, although this Lu Fan tea master's words are inappropriate, there must be a reason for it!" If you wait so much that there are many older people, you can't listen to what others are building? ”

"What Lord Yang taught! We are waiting to be convicted! ”

Yue Lin snorted coldly, and didn't pay attention to Wu Lao and Ye Mengxin's father and son, but asked Lu Fan, "Tell me your reason!" If it is reasonable, the official will give you a fair evaluation, and if you just talk about it, then the official will punish you for the crime of lying in public! “

"Xiaomin will not be open-mouthed, and the reason why Xiaomin stands out among many tea lovers is because the judges have a fair heart and have no external interests. And in this last round of comparison, the judges will inevitably be disturbed! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Fan paused for a moment, and then went on to say: "For example, you habitually think that the Ye family's tea is the best, and the rest of the teas cooked by others are all defective;

For another example, all the judges are the shopkeepers of the tea shops in the state, and the Ye family is the largest tea merchant in the state. Maybe it's the small people who live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......"

Hiss!

Lu Fan's words made everyone stunned, although the ten judges led by Wu Lao wanted to make their position clear, but it cannot be denied that what Lu Fan said was also reasonable. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to respond.

Ye Mengxin heard this, but his face was slightly cold and said: "My Ye family's previous tea leaders are really good, how could it be what you said!" Lu Fan, don't you slander my Ye family's reputation! ”

"That's not impossible, maybe the words of this Lu tea master are the reason why the Ye family has been elected as the head of tea for eight consecutive terms!" Yue Sanniang, who had been watching the tea fight beside Yue Lin, helped Lu Fan to speak at this time.

"You! ……”

"Alright, don't argue! Lu Fan, what you said is not unreasonable, so how can it be fair in your opinion? Yue Lin calmed down the verbal controversy, and then threw the topic to Lu Fan again.

"In the opinion of the small people, it is better to select ten tea friends from the tea friends who participated in the tea fight today, and witness it together with the ten judges present! The so-called tea ceremony is not just a one-person tea ceremony, I wonder what adults think? ”

"In the opinion of Lu Tea Master, what is the tea ceremony?" Yue Sanniang asked with interest, her beautiful eyes blinking with an inquiring meaning.

Yue Sanniang's question made Lu Fan's expression stagnant, and also made everyone present quite stunned, and said in his heart that this question was not simple. Now that Lu Fan keeps talking about the tea ceremony, everyone also wants to hear what this young man has to say.

At this time, Lu Fan seemed to recall something, and then shook his head and sighed: "If this question had been placed in the past, it would have been said that 'Taoist tea ceremony is health preservation, Buddhism is the way of Zen machine, and Confucian tea ceremony is self-cultivation ......'"

However, when these so-called theories and so-called mystical realms were discussed with Engong, they were ridiculed and despised! He said that the way of tea is nothing more than the perception of future generations to give life! In fact, what makes sense that it is just a leaf?

It's just the ups and downs of the world poured into this leaf! The so-called tea ceremony is actually very simple, that is: people who understand tea understand life; Those who understand a little understand life understand; For those who don't understand, ...... quench their thirst, that's all, how can there be a distinction between high and low!? ”

After Lu Fan's words were finished, the scene suddenly became extraordinarily quiet, and this analysis of the tea ceremony was like a hammer hitting their hearts for these tea bones who had been immersed in the tea ceremony for many years.

Although many people still don't think so, but the most authoritative Wu Lao is pupils are dilated, and his cloudy eyes burst out with a rare look, he looked at Lu Fan and asked in a deep voice: "What a 'how can there be a distinction between high and low', the old man has been asking himself what is the tea ceremony, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple truth!" Dare to ask the little brother's Eungong who is a tea ceremony senior? ”

"Old Wu, you also know this person, it is Ye Yu, the son of Ye Gong, this official heard that Ye Gong had a tea discussion with you back then, you should be a little impressed!"

Yue Lin saw that the time was ripe, so he took the lead in explaining the reason for Lu Fan. Previously, he had received a letter from Ye Yu, saying that he would send someone to participate in this tea fighting conference, and this person was Lu Fan in front of him.

"It's him!?"

Yue Lin said Ye Yu's name in one sentence, causing the four people present to lose their voices in shock. As soon as Ye Mengxin's father and son heard the word Ye Yu, their faces immediately turned gloomy. And Yue Sanniang, who was standing behind Yue Lin, was stunned for a while, and then her cheeks were on fire, because at this moment she remembered the scene of the Shangyuan Festival.

"It's really better than blue, and this attainment is far above Menggeng back then!" After Wu Lao was surprised, he sighed with relief: "My lord, I have no objection to Lu Chashi's suggestion!" ”

Wu Lao took the lead in saying that he had no objection, and the rest of the people naturally had to acquiesce, so Yue Lin selected ten people from among the many tea friends who participated in the meeting to jointly evaluate the tea brewing skills of both parties.

Ordinary tea, but look at the color of the tea, look at the tea surface, where the tea color is pure white, the tea surface bite is not scattered. However, Ye Mengxin and Lu Fan are both masters of tea fighting, and these rules are self-explanatory, and they can only be judged by the true taste of tea.

When everyone sat down to taste tea, the fire of Ye Mengxin's tea stove had already been extinguished, but Lu Fan's tea stove still had a little spark.

Although Ye Mengxin knew that in terms of time, he had delayed the best time to taste tea, but as the head of the tea in the previous session, he naturally couldn't retreat, otherwise he wouldn't be laughed at.

So he instructed his son Ye Zhizhi to prepare a tea cup and pour twenty cups of tea for the judges to taste. It's just that he didn't expect that there would be a sudden increase of ten people to participate in the competition, so the tea brewed was not enough.

And here Lu Fan has no concerns about this, because the capacity of the purple-black teapot is just enough for twenty people to taste.

For this reason, in order to prevent accidents, Lu Fan picked up the teapot and personally poured tea for everyone. Once the qi is ready, the next thing for both parties to do is wait for the results.

"Longtuan Shengxue tea has a light and elegant taste, it is really the best in tea!"

"Yes, it's fresh and refreshing, and it's a wonderful product! Wonderful! ”

“……”

Everyone first tasted Ye Mengxin's tea and praised the taste in the tea. When it was finally Wu Lao's turn to taste, he nodded and said: "It is still sweet and fragrant, and it is best to mix it with five boiling cooked water, but a little coolness is not the best time to taste tea, and the tea power is not exhausted, so that the sweetness has a faint astringency, which is a fly in the ointment, but even so it is the best in the tea!" ”

After everyone tasted Ye Mengxin's tea, it was Lu Fan's turn to make tea.

When everyone tasted it, they were all dumbfounded, because no one could taste what kind of tea this tea was, even the respected old tea bone Wu Lao, who had tasted it for a long time and didn't know what the name of this tea was.

Everyone was talking about it, but no one could say that he was ugly, so everyone turned their eyes to Wu Lao.

Wu Lao faced everyone's inquiring eyes, and he also slightly bowed his head and said suspiciously: "This tea is foggy, the soup color is clear and yellowish, the bottom of the leaves is yellow and green, the entrance tastes mellow and sweet, the aroma is like an orchid, and the charm is profound."

The ancients had a cloud that the smaller the teapot, the more it can hide the original taste of tea, but this teapot is slightly larger, but it can make the fragrance last, which is really incredible, and if its taste can be listed as the best, it is also ......"

After some words of admiration, the rest of the people also had to admire the excellent quality of this tea, especially the ten tea friends who participated in the review, all of them felt that Lu Fan's tea had surpassed Ye Mengxin.

Wu Lao raised his head and asked Lu Fan: "The old man has tasted tea for decades, whether it is new tea or old tea, he can identify the place without saying the entrance, but he can also guess * is not far from ten!" But this tea is old but not tasted, I don't know what the name of this tea is? ”

Wow!

What kind of tea is the tea that even Wu Lao can't taste, is it a new famous tea? But if it is a famous tea, how can they not have heard of it. For a moment, everyone present was in an uproar.

"It's not a secret, this tea was found by Engong, and then fried by the younger generation! As for the name of this tea, it is still inconclusive! ”

Lu Fan said, pointing to the purple-black teapot on the tea case, and said solemnly: "This pot, the younger generation does not dare to take credit!" It was recently made by Engong, and the younger generations were specially instructed to participate in the tea fighting conference with this pot.

This pot is most suitable for boiling tea, which does not rob the true fragrance of tea, and has no ripe soup, and can maintain the color, aroma and taste of tea for a long time......"
