Chapter 22: Brother Bai is awesome
After expressing his approval, Master Ping raised his hand and was about to pat Bai Xiao's shoulder, but found that he couldn't reach it even if he was on tiptoe, so he had to pat his arm instead, but the strength was full of affirmation...... But it seemed to be directly pumped in the face of the audience!
In everyone's stunned, Master Ping walked to the set of tea sets that Bai Xiao had set up, shook his head, and reached out to twist out a few green leaves from his sleeves to form a row, and the fingertip-sized young leaves swirled in mid-air, turning into delicate tea sets one by one.
"This is my favorite tea set lately, so I'll give it to you too. ”
With this set of portable devices, Master Ping melted all the essence of a jar of misty feathers into clear tea with a unique rhythmic posture and movement, poured a pot of clear tea into the cup like spring water, and then served it in front of Bai Xiao with both hands, with a meticulous posture.
The candidates next to them were like Master Ping serving tea, and their posture was immovable.
Bai Xiao didn't take the tea, but turned his head to look at Qingyue.
Qingyue couldn't cry or laugh, but she didn't refuse, after bowing to Master Ping, she took the tea and drank it, and after a while, a pale green mist gently erupted from her mouth and nose, and her pupils were also dyed with a trace of cyan.
Master Ping nodded slightly: "You know tea." ”
Mi Li Yu is an extraordinary tea, is specially cultivated for the Demon Daoist varieties, tea tasting has its own set of exquisite kung fu, Qingyue is in the laboratory to see Zhu Junshen gluttonous mouth with white water instead of tea, virtual Mi Li, then learned a little essence.
Master Ping asked again, "She's your girlfriend?"
Bai Xiao replied: "I am working hard to pursue it." ”
Master Ping muttered: "Okay, then I'll send you two more 'harmony'." ”
As he spoke, the old man took out a few heart-shaped young leaves from his sleeves, and a bamboo tube of clear springs.
This time, the old man's movements were faster, and the tea set he carried with him danced with his hands, flipping and moving, dazzling, but the steps were orderly and not chaotic at all.
A moment later, two cups of pale golden tea were presented to the two of them separately by Master Ping.
Qingyue's face was slightly red, but she still didn't refuse, and motioned for Bai Xiao to also drink tea together.
Because of its unique shape of tea, gentle taste, and psychic effect, Heming is also nicknamed lovers' tea by many people. It is more important to its symbolism and literary atmosphere, and it is far less precious than the blur feather. However, Master Ping personally selected the tea leaves and brewed them by hand, but the meaning is different, and in the eyes of many tea lovers, it is a dreamlike happiness to be able to taste this harmony with his lover.
And when Bai Xiao took the teacup and swallowed the tea, finally someone couldn't stand it.
"Master Ping, this is too fair, isn't it!?Qingyue doesn't care, that Bai Xiao neither understands tea nor loves tea, why is he!?So many people who love tea dream of tasting Master Ping's exquisite skills, but they can't ask for it, this savage ...... Is it because he has 20 million silver dollars!?"
In the face of this question, Master Ping slowly turned his head, looked at the indignant young candidate, and asked, "In your eyes, 20 million silver dollars are only worth a 'just' word?
The young man who was asked argued indignantly: "It's not a matter of money!
"Love?" Master Ping scoffed, "You do look like a tea lover, at what age did you start drinking tea?"
The waist of the relatives was straight, and he replied dignifiedly: "I began to taste the fragrant tea at home before I remembered, and when I was four years old, I learned words with the tea scripture, and I was ...... at the age of five."
"Enough, don't talk about your life. Master Ping interrupted him and said, "In short, a four-year-old child can love tea, in fact, I have been obsessed with tea ceremony since I was three or four years old, so I know best how natural and simple it is to love tea." ”
These words made many tea lovers nod secretly.
But the next moment, Master Ping changed his words: "A four-year-old child can love tea, but can a four-year-old child come up with 20 million silver dollars?"
The young man suddenly opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to argue.
Fortunately, someone next to him stood up to help: "The master's words are fallacious, 20 million silver dollars is indeed an incomparably precious huge amount of money, but for this Bai Xiao, even if it is not a dime, it is only a small part of the total net worth, which is far from cherishing." But your skills, Master, are priceless in the eyes of your peers, but they are not equivalent to each other. ”
Master Ping said: "Priceless treasure? Perhaps for you, the master's skill is an artistic treasure that can only be looked up to, but for me it is nothing more than a moment of concentration. As long as there are enough tea leaves and spring water, I can brew 100 pots a day! But I don't believe that this guest from the snow-capped mountains can earn 100 or 20 million a day! From this point of view, he suffered!"
"This ...... He can't say that, he doesn't understand tea after all......"
"Is it a sin not to understand tea? Is the tea ceremony a forbidden thing that can only be enjoyed in a small circle? If he doesn't understand tea, he doesn't deserve to drink good tea? All the good tea in the world should be tasted by you so-called tea savers? In my opinion, your level of tea ceremony is not much different from Bai Xiao! He no longer understands tea, and he is willing to spend at least 20 million silver dollars to invite the most famous master to show his skills, what about you? What else is there besides verbal love?"
Master Ping's impassioned statement was majestic and high-spirited, and immediately made a group of young candidates die down.
And after the master finished speaking, he stayed for a short time, took his own jasper green leaves, and floated away.
After Master Ping left, Bai Xiao frowned: "This tea is so bitter, it's hard to drink." ”
This sentence is like throwing a fireball into a powder keg, and it is about to detonate the audience in an instant.
However, just before the anger of the crowd completely exploded, Bai Xiao looked down at the pot left by Master Ping, and Qing Yue only drank a cup of Mi Yu.
"Whoever of you likes to drink this pot of tea, take it and drink it. ”
The raging rage was forcibly interrupted in an instant, like a rolling wave crashing into a standing coastal embankment. For a time, I don't know how many people feel the surging of qi and blood and endocrine disorders.
Candidates with high aspirations were still struggling, gritting their teeth and saying, "Bai Xiao, do you think this can buy people's hearts?"
Before the words fell, someone came to Bai Xiao first, bowed his hand, and then held the teapot with a smile on his face: "Brother Bai, you are really bold and generous, little brother, I want to drink a sip of Mi Li Yu in my dreams, and I can't imagine that I can get my long-cherished wish today." ”
After that, the man skillfully poured himself a shallow cup and put it in his mouth, and as soon as his throat rolled, a blue thread floated out of his mouth and nose.
"It's really worthy of being a master's handiwork, Brother Xie Bai gave tea, I wish you and Miss Qingyue a hundred years of happiness!"
The man put down the teapot and took a few steps back with a happy and satisfied expression, shaking his head and reminiscing about the vague taste. Seeing this situation, people only feel that a certain mechanism has been triggered in their hearts, and any righteous indignation and desire for the Tao are gone.
"Big Brother Bai, I want to drink it too!"
"Count me in!"
"Brother Bai is atmospheric!"
"Brother Bai is awesome!"
——
The riots did not last long.
A small pot of tea, after all, can't afford too many people, but when the examiner opened the door of the examination room, Bai Xiao had already gathered a group of staunch supporters around him.
In any case, Bai Xiao's tea can only be regarded as a small episode of the day, and the theme is still the entrance exam of Hongshan Academy, and the candidates follow the examiner into the circular building, and find that the internal space has undergone earth-shaking changes. A square hall large enough to accommodate hundreds of people was opened up, in which the tables, chairs and stationery needed for the theory test were neatly stacked, and the paper examination papers were also placed on the table in advance.
The candidates were still seated according to the admission ticket number, and Qingyue was not far in front of Bai Xiao, but before the two of them had time to greet and sprinkle dog food, the examiner announced the official start of the theory test in a cold voice.
