Chapter 23: Jasmine's Tongue
Each contestant stood in their respective positions with their freshly brewed tea in front of them.
Chen Er was waiting for the referee to walk in front of him when he noticed a gaze falling on him.
When I looked up, it was Park Jun-so who had just provoked me.
The word "self-confidence" was written all over his body.
Seeing Chen Er look over, he quickly raised his chin, and then turned his gaze to the referee on the side.
Park Jun-so was the runner-up of the previous edition, so he naturally attracted the attention of the judges.
A referee in his mid-fifties strode up to him and picked up the teacup in front of him.
The referee first glanced at the teacup in his hand, then sniffed the tea, then nodded with satisfaction and took a sip.
The bottom of his eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept nodding his head, "Good tea, good tea!"
Listening to the accent, he is actually a stick countryman.
Also, in this kind of large-scale event, naturally there will not be only one person from one country to serve as the referee. Tea ceremony masters from all over the world have been selected as judges to ensure fairness.
Park Junxiu was even more proud, exchanged a few words with the referee, and his eyes drifted to Chen Er's side from time to time.
Gou Xuefang's position was next to Chen Er, and he deliberately poked his head and said, "The referee of the baseball country is very biased, and when he looks at the players of his own country, his score will be higher." ”
Chen Er turned his head to look at him and did not speak.
But I thought in my heart that even if they would take care of their own people, when they reached the finals, it would be difficult to stay without strength.
So there is no need to think about these issues.
Unexpectedly, the referee of the baseball country just now actually took the initiative to come to him.
He first looked Chen Er up and down for a while, and then slowly picked up the tea in front of him.
I looked at it, sniffed it again, my eyes changed slightly, and then I showed a disdainful expression.
Then he put down the teacup, picked up the pen and wrote down the score at random.
Chen Er glanced at it, 6.5 points.
So he called out to the referee.
"I'm sorry, I think your score is too low."
Chen Er knows that his level is definitely more than that.
With a score of 6.5, it is estimated that he can only get a mid-stream position, and I am afraid it will be difficult to enter the semi-finals.
The referee of the baseball country sneered and said in awkward Chinese, "This is a competition, and the referee has the right to decide the score of the contestants." ”
Chen Er's tone was calm, but he was loud, "I know, but I think the score you gave is too low. ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of many judges and contestants.
It is the first time that a contestant openly questioned the judge's rating during the competition.
Immediately, someone whispered.
When they saw that the person who spoke up was Chen Er, they thought more about it.
Several players from the baseball country even said so.
"He thought he could score eight points in the qualifying rounds and keep scoring high in the rest of the tournaments? I can't help but think too much of myself!"
"Maybe the previous qualifying tournament was because Huaxia wanted to promote newcomers, so they deliberately gave more points."
“……”
Chen Er ignored those people, and instead his gaze fell firmly on the referee.
The other party showed a smiling expression, "In a game like this, everyone is naturally in the best condition, but what about you?" What kind of tea are you brewing?"
He pointed to the tea cup in front of Chen Er, his eyes were a little impatient and a little disdainful, "Jasmine tea?"
Several referees who originally wanted to come up to check the situation heard this, and they immediately couldn't lift their feet.
Flower tea is the best brew of all teas, and it's not yet time for jasmine to bloom.
At this time, most of the jasmine tea that was brewed was the old tea left over from last year.
In such a big competition, there are contestants who take out old tea. It's a bit perfunctory indeed.
Sure enough, some of the contestants reacted and immediately laughed.
"If it's jasmine tea, isn't it old tea? Why is he embarrassed to take it out for a game?"
"I don't know, maybe the family is too poor?"
"It's better to make chrysanthemum tea."
These words naturally fell on the ears of fans in the live broadcast room.
Everyone immediately became indignant.
I wish I could get out of the screen and tear those people's mouths.
Chen Er spoke slowly, "Who said that my tea is jasmine tea." ”
The referee of the stick country was slightly stunned, and then straightened his face, "I have studied the tea ceremony for more than 30 years, how can I not even tell the difference between a cup of tea." ”
Chen Er showed a smile that looked very poor in the eyes of the other party.
"It is precisely because you have studied the tea ceremony for more than 30 years that you can't tell what kind of tea my tea is."
The other party wanted to speak again, but Chen Er took the lead and said, "Because you are studying the tea ceremony of your country, and the Chinese tea ceremony is broad and profound, how can you, an outsider, study it thoroughly in just thirty years?"
The other party was angry for a while.
At this moment, a referee wearing glasses emerged from the crowd.
It's the referee I've seen in the qualifiers before.
"Hello, I'm the referee you've seen before, Zhao Donglai."
Zhao Donglai didn't talk nonsense, he directly picked up Chen Er's tea, looked at it first, and then poured out some to taste.
He smacked his lips with an evocative expression.
"It's not jasmine tea."
The referee of the stick country suddenly changed his face, and hurriedly shook his head, "The jasmine aroma in this tea is so strong, how can it not be jasmine tea!"
Zhao Donglai didn't speak, but poured out some for him to taste.
"Tea to taste, not to taste, how can you know what kind of tea it is? The smell and appearance of many teas are very similar, and it is inevitable that there will be wrong judgments. ”
This is an allusion to the referee of the stick country who made a wrong judgment and score.
The referee of the stick country drank the tea, and his face suddenly became ugly.
Zhao Dong looked at Chen Erdao and said, "The tea leaves you use for this tea are the best Dongting Lake Biluochun." ”
"The tea curls like a snail, the white is exposed, the silver green is hidden and green, the leaf buds are young and tender, the tea taste is slowly stretched after brewing, and the tea is clear and green, the fragrance strikes people, the taste is cool and sweet, and the freshness is fresh."
"After brewing it by your hand, it really lives up to the reputation of Biluochun. Good craftsmanship, good craftsmanship!"
Zhao Donglai praised again and again.
Naturally, the people around will not be dissatisfied.
Suddenly, the gaze that looked at Chen Er was different again.
It's just that the referee's face is not very good.
He held back a sentence for a while, "What kind of good craft is brewing the tea leaves of Biluochun to the taste of jasmine!"
Several onlookers nodded in agreement.
The taste of the tea itself is the most important, and if it is covered by other flavors, the meaning of the tea is lost.
Zhao Donglai was also curious, but he didn't think it was Chen Er's negligence, after all, he could even brew maple dew tea before.
"The jasmine fragrance in this tea is strong and lasts for a long time, but the taste of Biluochun has not been lost, why is this?"
He thought for a moment, "Could it be that you specially took the dew from the jasmine flowers like making maple dew tea before?"
However, even if you use the dew from jasmine to make tea, it will not have such an aroma.
Zhao Donglai thought about it, and at this time, a referee with snow-white hair walked over.
Several referees around him saw him and immediately showed extremely respectful expressions.
Even the referee of the baseball country, who had been shouting before, quieted down.
He walked up to Chen'er, glanced at the tea, and then said, "This is Jasmine's tongue." ”
