After Su Jiudong preheated the blue-black glazed rabbit jar, the mountain spring water in the teapot on the small tea stove was also about to boil.

In addition to crushing tea cakes, the first level of tea fighting is also very particular about water.

Su Jiudong stared at the water surface in the flare teapot, and recalled in his mind what Wen Yiheng mentioned earlier when he made up for her evil:

"The water in the mountain spring is clear, and the water out of the mountain spring is turbid. The water used for tea buckets is naturally fresh spring water, and it is best. The water for tea fighting is clear, light, sweet and clean, and the mountain spring water in Jingshan meets these characteristics, which shows that Feng Yingying chose to fight tea in Jingshan Temple for a reason. ”

"The boiling water is based on the two boiling water of fish eyes and crab eyes. When you see a boiling bubble the size of a fish's eye or a crab's eye, it's time to stop heating. After boiling it again, it is three boils, and after the water is boiled three times, the waves are bulging, and it is old. ”

Keeping in mind Wen Yiheng's advice, Su Jiudong stared at the water surface, his right hand hanging above the handle of the teapot, ready to remove the teapot in time when the hot water boiled to the second boil.

The onlookers didn't know Su Jiudong's movements, but saw that her whole person was motionless, as if she was still.

Tang Zhen muttered to several official disciples around him, "What's the matter with that Su Jiudong?" She was so close to the tea stove that she didn't worry about burning her hair...... Or my Yingying is so good that you don't have to stare at the teapot all the time to know how the boiling water is. ”

Feng Yingying on the left has already preheated the tea cup, and after testing the temperature of the tea cup with the back of her hand, she immediately put the tea powder into the tea cup, calmly poured boiling water, and prepared to start the tea making steps.

At this time, Su Jiudong's water on the right was also boiling, and I saw her calmly take down the teapot and put it aside, while taking an appropriate amount of ground tea and putting it into the teacup, while listening carefully to the movement in the teapot.

Until the water in the teapot stopped boiling, Su Jiudong immediately took it and began to pour the soup.

Yao Danyun probed her brain behind Su Jiudong to watch, and she was anxious to go on the field to speed up for Su Jiudong: "Why did Sister Jiudong start pouring soup now?" Her steps are always half a step behind Feng Yingying, and it is too difficult to win. ”

Feng Shenghan corrected: "You don't have to be in such a hurry, the tea fighting method does not depend on the speed of cooking, as long as the final product is high, it will win...... It's just the first bowl of tea, so let's watch quietly. ”

Under the attention of everyone, Su Jiudong, who was a little unconfident, opened her mouth and silently recited what Wen Yiheng said when she taught her: "The first time you pour water, you should surround the edge of the tea cup and prevent the boiling water from washing away the tea powder." ”

After Su Jiudong mixed the tea powder with water into a gelatinous tea paste, he carefully began to pour the soup officially, and then stirred the tea paste with a tea whisk, and gradually increased the force on his wrist.

Tang Zhen continued to laugh with several brothers and friends: "Why doesn't Miss Jiudong just open her mouth and keep her mouth open? Isn't it that he was too nervous to compete with Yingying, and he was dumb for a while? Hahaha......"

Although Tang Zhen deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, Feng Yingying, who was sitting close to him, also heard Tang Zhen's ridicule of Su Jiudong, and only felt that Su Jiudong was half a beat behind her everywhere, and her chances of winning this first bowl of tea must be greater.

Abbot Duyou, who was sitting in the middle, could clearly see Su Jiudong's movements when he was making tea, and he was attracted for a while, and the movement of turning his head to look at it became more and more obvious.

Su Jiudong used his fingers to rotate in a circle, the range of action was small, but the force of stirring was heavy, and after a while, the tea soup was stirred up and down thoroughly, and the soup flowers bloomed brilliantly from the tea surface like stars and moons.

The first soup injection went very smoothly, and Su Jiudong slowly regained a little confidence, so he began to inject soup for the second time.

Yao Danyun saw Su Jiudong pick up the teapot and pour water into the teacup again, and couldn't help but wonder: "Sister Feng, look, why did Sister Jiudong pour water again?" ”

Feng Shenghan explained: "When ordering tea, you can inject soup many times according to the situation, and those who are good at this can inject soup up to seven times, I think Sister Jiudong's movements are quite calm, and it is estimated that the first water injection should be very successful, and ordering tea is simply the first water injection." ”

Su Jiudong steadied the handle of the teapot and began to pour water for the second time, and continued to recall the picture of Wen Yiheng demonstrating soup pouring in his mind:

"The second injection of soup can be injected from the tea surface, you need to inject a thin line around the tea surface, remember to move quickly, just like you often say to the kitchen ladies when you usually boil medicine, steady, accurate, and ruthless."

Su Jiudong quickly lifted the pot and poured the soup, always paying attention to making the tea surface not move at all. While pouring the soup, the color of the tea in the tea cup is gradually revealed, and the tea surface is covered with pearl-like soup flowers.

At the same time, Feng Yingying also started the third soup injection. Use your wrist to accelerate the blow with your fingers, then gradually reduce the pressure and try to change to even stirring.

Su Jiudong's third and fourth soup injections were still smooth.

Su Jiudong stirred around the heart of the cup, and repeatedly whisked clockwise, until the tea soup in the cup became transparent, and the fine soup flowers like white millet on the tea surface condensed. At this time, the brown color has been six or seven out of ten.

The amount of water in the fourth soup injection was much less, and Su Jiudong relaxed the amplitude of the tea whisk's stirring and slowed down the speed of stirring. At this time, it can be seen that the brilliance of the tea is fully radiated, and the cloud-like foam gradually grows from the tea surface.

Su Jiudong's first bowl of tea soup was completed after four times of soup injection. Su Jiudong handed his teacup to the little novice. Shih Tzu literature

Xiao Shami held Su Jiudong's teacup and turned to the back of the screen behind Abbot Duyou, and when he came out again, there were two cups of the same blue and black rabbit cup on the saucer, and a paper with the corresponding number written in front of the teacup was placed.

Xiao Shami handed the tea cup to Abbot Duyou's table, and Abbot Duyou compared the two bowls of tea soup and judged seriously: "The No. 1 tea soup is evenly distributed, and the water marks appear late, but the soup color is slightly green, which is thought to be caused by insufficient heat during steaming. It's a pity..."

"The soup color of the No. 2 tea soup is pure white, and the white milk floating noodles are like sparse stars and light moons, which is indeed a good bowl of tea."

Feng Yingying, who finished it a few minutes earlier than Su Jiudong, already knew which bowl her teacup was.

Feng Yingying looked at Su Jiudong's tea noodles in front of her, and her first bowl of tea soup and tea noodles were a little blue compared to it, so she was speechless for a while, and estimated that her first bowl of tea might be lost.

Abbot Duyou said slowly: "I declare that the first bowl of tea soup is ordered tea, and the tea soup numbered No. 2 wins... The winner is ......"

At this time, the novice turned all the numeric numbers of the paper over the reverse side, revealing the name of the person who cooked the tea soup.

Tang Zhen looked at the paper that was about to reveal his name, and read in a low voice: "Yingying must be the second!" Second Bowl No. 2 ......"

Abbot Duyou looked at the name of the paper that Xiao Shami turned over, and announced loudly: "The winner is, General Dingwu's Mansion, Su Jiudong." ”

As soon as the answer came out, everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but be surprised that Su Jiudong, who had just returned to Beijing from the mountain village, actually defeated Feng Yingying, who was known as the first lady in the capital.

Su Jiudong nodded to Feng Yingying and said with a smile: "Miss Yingying, I agreed." ”

Feng Yingying was not surprised by the result in front of her.

Just after Feng Yingying handed over the tea cup to Xiao Shami, she secretly regretted that she was too eager to order the first bowl of tea this time, and always wanted to be one step ahead of Su Jiudong, but she didn't want to lose the proper control when controlling the heat, so that the final effect of the tea soup was not ideal.

Before everyone could come to their senses, the second bowl of tea had already started under the announcement of Abbot Duyou.

The tea leaves used in the second bowl are the Junshan silver needles brought by Feng Yingying. While crushing the tea cakes, Su Jiudong carefully recalled the attributes of Junshan Silver Needles in the books. Thanks to Wen Yiheng's supervision of her before, she taught her to remember the attributes of tea as if she were medicinal herbs.

Junshan silver needle belongs to the yellow tea category, the tea quality is delicate, and the water temperature is too high to burn the tea leaves, so Su Jiudong did not dare to delay too much in the steps of "warm cup" and "boiling water", for fear that the tea quality would be destroyed and affect the effect of the tea soup behind.

After losing in the first round, Feng Yingying regrouped her emotions, stabilized her mind, and operated much slower than the first game.

Since the second bowl of tea was made of Feng Yingying's own tea leaves, she must equalize the situation in this game, otherwise she would not have a chance to enter the third round of the competition, which would show that she had lost completely.

Different from Feng Yingying's relaxation and composure, Su Jiudong's wrist began to ache faintly this time, and the speed of hitting the tea was obviously much slower, a little powerless.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Jiudong and Feng Yingying finished the second bowl of tea at the same time, and handed the tea cup to Xiao Shami. In the same way, the little novice placed the tea cup in front of Abbot Duyou, who had confused its position.

Abbot Duyou slowly spoke: "The No. 3 and No. 4 tea soup are both bright white, and the water is pure, but the soup flowers of No. 3 are more uniform and delicate than those of No. 4, and the water marks are more durable than No. 4 tea soup, so No. 3 tea soup is slightly better than No. 4 water." ”

Yao Danyun began to ask 100,000 whys again: "What's better than what?" What a few waters? ”

"The term used to distinguish the winner and loser of the tea fight is called 'water', and the quality of the two kinds of tea is 'a few different waters'." After Feng Shenghan finished answering, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart about Yao Danyun, if he didn't know about tea fighting, he shouldn't come to watch the battle, and he wouldn't be disturbed by asking everywhere.

Xiao Shami flipped the paper to the movie and television, and then announced the results of the second tea fight: "The winner of the second game is, the prince and young master's mansion, Feng Yingying." ”

Su Jiudong and Feng Yingying each won one victory, and the current situation is tied.

Therefore, as the third bowl of tea, which is the match point, is the key field that affects the victory or defeat.

The tea used in the third bowl is provided by Jingshan Temple and belongs to the green tea category.

If the brewing temperature is too high or the time is too long, the tea quality is easy to be destroyed, and the tea will not only turn yellow, but also the aromatic substances in it will be volatilized and lost, affecting the bright color and taste of the tea soup.

Wen Yiheng noticed Su Jiudong's movement of secretly moving his wrist, so he raised his hand and pointed to the bag beside Su Jiudong, wanting to signal Su Jiudong that if he felt sore and uncomfortable, he could rub the soothing and activating cream he put in her bag to relieve the pain.

At this time, there was a lot of distance between Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng, and Su Jiudong failed to successfully decipher where Wen Yiheng was pointing, and only regarded Wen Yiheng's gesture as the meaning of "come on", so he nodded solemnly at Wen Yiheng.
