Chapter 406: Tea Fighting Extravaganza

"Judges, please enter!" The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs made a respectful invitation, and whether it was the contestants and their relatives sitting in the audience, or the guests sitting in the back watching the excitement, they all looked back in the direction of the door.

I saw the place at the door, after a commotion, Shi Shiran walked in three people, all of them were middle-aged people with beautiful clothes and noble temperament, although Cui'er didn't know them very well, she could hear the discussion of everyone next to her.

"Oh, it is worthy of someone behind, this year's imperial merchant selection, it is actually a nobleman who can invite a famous person in Beijing to taste tea." Someone was whispering in the back, and Cui'er listened to it.

The three people who walked in Shi Shiran, led by the one who was wearing a pale yellow brocade robe, with a face like jade and a slight beard, was about forty years old, and looked quite fairy. Cui'er listened to these people's discussions, and the person who was the leader was not someone else, it was the famous Xianwang Duan Wangye in Beijing, that is, the husband of Princess Duan's sister Zhen, who was the same sister as Mrs. Wenxiu.

Cui'er saw this prince for the first time, and saw that his every move was very royal majesty, and he looked like a son of a family with a graceful appearance of Wei and Jin. I just felt that this strange aura was fused very appropriately on his body, and at a glance, I knew that he was the appearance of a dragon among people.

Immediately following Queen Duan was a man in his thirties, wearing black soft armor but not tall. He was dressed very neatly, and his hair was not meticulously pulled like a king, but combed into a high braid, and the ends of his hair fluttered slightly with his every move, looking extremely unruly.

Listening to the discussion of the people in the back, this person's surname is Dong, and he is a military general of the fifth grade, although he is not good at elegance on weekdays, he prefers to dance with knives and guns. But I also know a little about tea, wine, and whatever.

When Cui'er heard that the person's surname was Dong, her heart was shocked, when her family had just arrived in the capital, even Qingshan encountered a catastrophe in order to let the big girl and Xiaohu return home, which was related to the little man surnamed Dong. Although General Wude had already solved the surname Dong that time, Cui'er knew. The surname Dong is the nail left by the Xiao faction in the Yang family's lineage.

Cui'er frowned slightly and looked at General Dong in soft armor. The more I look at it, the more I feel hairy in my heart. This surnamed Dong, will he be in the same group as the people of the Xiao faction? If so, it doesn't matter whether this imperial merchant can get his hands on it. If you are involved in the battle between the Yang family and the Xiao faction......

Before Cui'er could think deeply, she saw a third person also walk in, who was no more suave or unruly than the first two, and looked like a weak scholar. However, the robes and ornaments he wore also looked very valuable. Cui'er heard others talking, saying that this person was Master Zuo.

The three of them came to the front stage. After greeting with the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who arrived first, they sat down one after another. There are three tables, exactly one person and one table, and Duan Wang Ye has the highest status. Sitting in the middle, General Dong and Lord Zuo sat on both sides.

Although Cui'er didn't know how much this Lord Zuo had any relationship with the Dingguo Mansion and the Zhengguo Mansion, she looked at the three people sitting on the stage. Although he was polite, he looked a little detached, and he felt that there must be something strange in this.

Because of the joining of the prince. This little imperial merchant selection instantly became tall, the officials of the Internal Affairs Office seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and their mental state was abnormally full, and after announcing the rules of the tea fight, they walked to Duan Wangye, and asked Duan Wangye to show it.

All of a sudden, the eyes of the entire teahouse were focused on Duan Wangye, who seemed to be a star in the spotlight, and waved his hand very vigorously to announce the beginning of this tea fight.

There are two stages in this tea bucket, the first stage is to select one of the three kinds of tea that have been picked and processed by the organizer to make their own tea. Then use the tea leaves made to make tea and give it to the judges present.

Because it takes a lot of time to make tea, the whole part of the competition is also quite long, and it will last for a whole day.

It's morning, and after the tea fight has begun, the three participating tea merchants can start kneading tea and making tea, and carry out their own tea making steps. Because there may be methods or means that need to be kept secret when making tea, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also specially prepared curtains that can be used by participants when they need to be shielded.

At noon, there will be a one-hour lunch break, during which no matter what the tea is made, it is necessary to stop and store the semi-finished tea leaves, which will be supervised by special people, and continue to make tea after eating.

When the next day comes, the tea has been almost made, and the three newly made teas are brewed one by one, and the three judges select the best tea to take over as the next imperial merchant.

The steps of this tea fight are clear and clear, although the three adults on the stage can't say which judge invited them, but Cui'er is not too worried in her heart.

Because of the tea of the Qian family and the Jin family, Cui'er had made tea in advance, and the Qian family was mainly engaged in tea sales.

Cui'er has explored in the Qian family's tea house, compared with all the tea sold in the Qian family's tea house and the Ye family's tea, the best tea can barely match the Ye family's tea at most, and it is impossible to surpass the Ye family's tea.

And the Jin family's tea is even more so, the Jin family's foundation is very thin, and their own secret recipes have been taken away, so they have to marry the Feng family and change the secret recipe back, this is the case, how many tea masters can be expected in their family?

It's not that Cui'er underestimates the enemy, but that Cui'er has confidence in the tea-making process that she has accumulated over the past hundred years, and has confidence in her eldest brother's tea-making techniques.

The venue of this tea fight is in front of the teahouse, on the side of the judges' seat, and the audience seat and the judges' seat form a three-legged appearance. Because tea making requires both kneading tea and roasting and roasting tea, the place where the tea is played is relatively open, with a strong board and a large pot with firewood at the bottom, which is actually a posture of stir-frying the tea on the spot.

Cui'er looked at her eldest brother, and walked gracefully among the three baskets of alternative tea greens, almost only walking a lap of effort, and she had already selected the tea greens to use. Cui'er looked from a distance from the audience, and saw that the tea green chosen by Ye Qing was a leaf and a bud with a strong green color, because it had been dried and processed for the first time, and now those tea greens were wilting and rolling.

When Cui'er saw this tea green, she probably knew that Ye Qing was going to make green leaf tea. Looking at her eldest brother's indifferent expression and meticulous handling of Cha Qing, Cui'er felt more confident.

It was Ye Qing who made tea on the field of the Ye family, and it was Ye Bi who helped out; The Qian family made tea with a man about thirty years old with a white and slightly chubby face, and the one who helped him was a man with a sad face and wrinkles in his forties; It was Jin Yuman who made tea in the Jin family, and the one who helped him was a lean man under thirty years old.

These three families competed on the field, whether it was the identity and bearing of the people on the field or the appearance of the people on the field, the Ye family was far ahead, because the two people in the Ye family were rich young masters with lofty spirits, and although the Jin family came up with a good-looking Jin Yuman, there was only one person.

The audience in the audience ignored the contestants of the Qian family. Everyone in the world has a love for beauty, and the audience present is no exception, seeing the people making tea on the stage, the audience below has tilted the balance in their hearts, some hope that the Ye family will win, and there are also those who hope that the Jin family will win, and the original imperial merchant Qian family has been left far behind in terms of people's hearts.

After selecting the green tea, it has entered the stage of kneading the tea, and the green tea is kneaded with a leaf and a bud, so that the tea leaves form a tea leaf that stands upright like pine needles, and the hands can be full of effort when kneading.

Ye Qing is the eldest son of Master Ye, although his face is extremely cold, he also learned tea making with Master Ye for several years when he was a child. I saw him neatly lift up and fold his robe, and gently rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, a pair of big hands with even slender and white muscles grabbed the tea balls scattered on the dustpan, and began to knead them slowly.

Ye Qing's tea-making technique comes from the Ye family in Huxi, and the tea-making technique is also high-end, and the attention of the entire venue has been attracted. Rao is a lot of tea masters from other tea merchants in the audience, and they were also shocked by Ye Qing's hand, and his eyes were reluctant to blink to look at Ye Qing's movements, savoring the tea kneading techniques of the Ye family in the west of the lake.

Ye Qing's tea-making technique is very good, the technique is skillful and the movements are smooth, but Cui'er is a little distracted when she looks at it. Ever since she had nightmares every night a few days ago, she had been a little unfocused.

Cui'er thought for a while that she didn't know what the quality of the tea used in this bucket of tea was, whether it was suitable for making green leaf tea, and for a while she thought about whether she could win the bucket of tea, and for a while she thought about where Lian Qingshan would be at the moment, whether there would be any injuries on her body, and when she would be able to come back.

The thoughts in my mind turned countless times, but my heart never calmed down, but as time went by, my heart became more and more flustered.

When it came to the next day, Cui'er's panic was not relieved in any way, but it became more serious, and Cui'er only felt that her whole heart was pounding non-stop, as if she couldn't stop for a moment.

This kind of feeling is rare in Cui'er's experience, which makes Cui'er subconsciously feel that something must be happening. What is it?

Cui'er looked at the busy tea fighting venue, the two tea-makers of the Qian family and the Jin family, in addition to the tea selection at the beginning, the kneading of tea and the like at the back were all done by others. At this moment, the fat man of the Qian family and Jin Yuman were watching Ye Qing, who was sweating slightly, busy with interest, with a gloating smile on the corners of his eyes.

When Cui'er saw this scene, she only felt that her brows jumped suddenly, did someone do something in this tea fight? (To be continued)
