Chapter 229: Tea Appreciation

Shen Yu was a little surprised, "There is a saying about doing business, shopping malls are like battlefields, soldiers are not tired of cheating, not to mention that we are not fraud, why should we tell others?" ”

"If everyone bribes the judges with their own cleverness and all of them are disqualified, won't we win without a fight?"

Sheng Yanqing curled his fingers, and he gently scraped the bridge of Shen Yu's nose, "Did you still bring out the allusions?" It is so righteous and awe-inspiring. I am very confident in your tea art, so I don't care to play this kind of trick. Let's use our strength to win, and we can earn a good reputation among our peers, what's the harm of killing two birds with one stone? ”

"Okay, it's still the second master who is thoughtful." Shen Yu smiled and said that he was ashamed of Sheng Yanqing's mind.

Soon, the affairs of the Inspectorate were no longer a secret.

Some of the contestants who prepared gifts and wanted to go to the judges' house to sit down secretly rejoiced that they were a step too late, and if they were caught by the inspection team, they might not even be eligible for the competition.

Qin Shaoxiang also signed up for the tea-making competition, and when he heard the news from outside, he didn't think about it and said: "It must be Sheng Yanqing who asked him to say it, among these players, he is the only one who can do this kind of thing." ”

Wang Shijun was sitting in front of the fan eating watermelon, "No wonder you have been preparing, it turns out that you have met a real opponent." It is not the first time we have cooperated with the Sheng family, and the tea provided by the Sheng family is genuine. ”

This time the British held a tea-making competition to select tea suppliers, Wang Shijun suddenly remembered something, and said: "It's strange, as far as I know, your Qin family doesn't have its own tea mountain, right?" Your tea has to rely on purchases, and even if you win, you can only make a difference. The Qin family's business is mainly in the north, what are you so concerned about this game? Could it be for that Mrs. Shen again? ”

was debunked on the spot, Qin Shaoxiang said humbly: "What do you care about me?" I'm just going to win anyway. ”

As for how to show off after winning, and how to use this as a condition for capital, that is a matter for the future.

The game started soon, and after the news of the inspection team was made public, there was no more trouble.

The most basic tea art is tea appreciation, and this is what was tested on the first day of the competition.

There are more than 30 tea suppliers in this competition, and more than 30 tea tables are set up one by one.

Ten judges sat upright in the stands, and the inspector team was on both sides to supervise the words and deeds of the contestants.

Qin Shaoxiang sat behind Shen Yu, and he said in a breathy voice: "These foreigners really don't understand Chinese culture, drinking tea is a pleasure, and it is so formal, a group of people look at it, what kind of taste can they drink?" ”

Shen Yu pointed to the sign not far away and said, "Look at the words on it, don't talk to each other." If you don't want to compare, just leave, don't bother me! ”

She sat up straight, far away from the small table behind her.

Qin Shaoxiang gritted his teeth behind her, but he was helpless.

Not far away, Shen Huai'an saw this scene, and he handed over a warning look.

Qin Shaoxiang shrugged, looking like he was helpless.

Soon, the competition officially began, and the waiters with trays rushed in, placing ten teacups on each person's table, with different tea leaves in them.

A middle-aged *** wearing gold-rimmed glasses on the judges' bench got up and said with a smile: "Everyone, the contemptible Lu Huaiyuan is the deputy director of the Yamen of Tongcheng Customs, and he is also the judge of this tea-making competition. There are ten different kinds of tea in front of you, you can smell it, you can eat it, you can brew it, and after identifying the tea varieties, write them down in order from left to right. Raise your hand when you're done, and someone will take your answers. ”

Qin Shaoxiang muttered again, "A good tea art competition, how can it be the same as the exam." ”

On the side, the people of the inspection team had already begun to pay attention to Qin Shaoxiang, and he said in English, "Communication is not allowed during the competition." ”

Qin Shaoxiang replied in fluent English, "I'm not communicating, I'm talking to myself." ”

Most of the contestants couldn't understand English, but Shen Yu was amused, and Shen Huai'an's gaze became even more unfriendly.

The other players couldn't help but whisper, curious about what was going on.

Shen Yu felt that Qin Shaoxiang was like a naughty bad boy, provoking the teacher and teasing his classmates in the examination room, lest the world be chaotic.

Lu Huaiyuan cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me." The contestants who finish first can leave, and fifteen out of thirty will be eliminated, and the list will be announced in the afternoon. ”

Hearing what the judges said, everyone suddenly became nervous again, and sat up one by one, treating the contestants who participated in the competition together as opponents.

After a gong, the tea tasting competition officially began.

Foreigners pay great attention to fame when drinking tea, among the ten kinds of tea, there are four kinds of black tea, four kinds of green tea, two kinds of oolong tea, West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Pu'er, Tieguanyin, Lu'an Gua Pian are among them.

It only took a stick of incense for Shen Yu to identify nine of the tea leaves. The appearance and fragrance of these tea leaves are very distinguishable, and it is not difficult for people who understand tea to distinguish.

It's just that Shen Yu is really unsure of this last kind of tea.

This kind of green tea tea buds and leaves are fat, white and exposed, and the tea leaves are curled, like the famous Biluochun in tea. Shen Yu brewed a cup, the tea soup was light and the taste was strong, and it was very similar to the taste of Biluochun.

She was still hesitating, and saw a waiter walking past her, it turned out that someone had finished tasting tea and handed in the paper in advance.

All of you are experts in tea tasting, and slowly they all began to hand in the papers.

The waiter went back and forth to collect the scroll, and Qin Shaoxiang took advantage of the chaos and said, "Shen Yu, what is the third type of tea?" Show me your answers. ”

Shen Yu glanced at Qin Shaoxiang, he was instigating him to help cheat.

When Shen Yu turned around, Qin Shaoxiang had already caught a glimpse of the answer with sharp eyes, and shouted, "See, isn't it Mao Feng?" It's still hidden, I've thought of it a long time ago. ”

Filling in the vacant answers, Qin Shaoxiang happily raised his hand and handed in the paper.

Shen Yu was still struggling with what the last tea was, and seeing that she had become the last one, she wrote Biluochun.

Coming out of the arena, the players were walking out in twos and threes. Some people recognized Shen Yu and said with a smile: "This is the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Sheng family, right?" Thank you for your reminder a few days ago. ”

Shen Yu said: "It should be." ”

The weather was still very hot in August, and Shen Yu took off her traditional slanted shirt and skirt and put on a crisp and neat cheongsam.

The sound of her high heels clattering on the marble floor, her steps were light and her figure was graceful, like a lotus blooming in the sun, fresh and elegant.

She is elegant and calm, which adds a bit of charm to the majesty when she sits in the position of the main mother.

Walking outside the gate, the Sheng family's car has been waiting outside.
