Chapter 233 Victory

"Brother Song, it's up to you to compare the tea ceremony, success or failure depends on it."

"That's right, Brother Song, as long as we win the last competition, the Jin Kingdom Mission will be completely disgraced."

"Brother Song, we are the ones who came up with the questions in this competition, so we have the upper hand, so you must fight for it!"

Song Bingge nodded solemnly. He also knew that the burden on him was a bit heavy. Although even if he lost, it was only the result of a draw, but the draw still could not suppress the Jin Guo Mission, which violated the purpose of Dabi.

Competitions, competitions, wins and loses are called competitions. Fuck his sister's friendship first and second in the competition. You told me that I worked so hard to get the ranking for friendship.

What an international joke.

"Song Bingge, a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, asked the scholars of the Kingdom of Jin for advice through the tea ceremony, and that brother is willing to come on stage to give advice!"

"Shi Feng!"

"Yes!"

"Remember what I just said?"

Shi Feng swallowed his saliva: "I heard this, don't lose!"

"If you win this competition, I will reward you with ten kinds of high-quality tea after you return to the Kingdom of Jin. If you lose, do you know what to do?"

"This subordinate understands that if he quits Puxian Academy, he will be barred from becoming an official for life."

"Go!"

"Shi Feng, a scholar of the Kingdom of Jin, is willing to come to the stage to ask brother Song about tea art, please enlighten me."

"Tea cultivates sentiment, drink a cup of clear tea, and savor life with all kinds of flavors, brother Shi please."

The two sat opposite each other, and the yamen servant began to prepare the six gentlemen of the tea ceremony, and then set them up one by one.

The Six Gentlemen of the Tea Ceremony are tea rules, tea needles, tea leaks, tea holders, tea buckets, and teaspoons, and are honored as the Six Gentlemen of the Tea Ceremony by those who like to drink tea.

"There are three ways to taste tea?"

"One bitter, two sweet, three aftertaste."

"Good tea leaves a lingering fragrance after five steepings. The same tea depends on the skill of the tea maker. How about you and I compete in tea art?"

"Excellent."

The two began to split the prepared firewood by themselves with a small axe. The taste of the tea is not only related to the quality of the tea, but also depends on the method of cooking the tea. Some tea is suitable for boiling water, while some tea needs [-]% boiling. If the boiling water is messed up, the taste of the brewed tea will be completely different.

The temperature that affects the boiling water is the size of the flame. The larger the firewood, the larger the flame, so the firewood must be split into a manageable size to control the water temperature.

Secondly, the time of making tea is also different. Ordinary people can't tell the difference between the tea brewed without a few years of precipitation, but those who know tea will know whether the tea is good or bad when they smell it.

The lid of the pot was pushed up by the steam, and the two of them compared the temperature of the steam with their hands, then wrapped their palms with silk cloth and took off the teapot in their hands.

After going through several complicated procedures, a completely different tea fragrance permeated around the Gongyuan. The fragrance was lingering and fragrant.

Like taking drugs, the smell of tea directly overwhelms the smell of food, making people feel refreshed.

The tea ceremony pays attention to the beauty of the five states, tea leaves, tea water, fire, tea set, environment, each influence cannot be ignored, otherwise it will affect the foundation of the tea ceremony.

Song Bingge picked up the teapot and poured three cups of tea: "Brother Shi, please use tea."

Shi Feng didn't refuse, he picked up the teacup, put it under his nose, sniffed it gently, and then slowly put it in his mouth.

Finally, I began to relish the taste of the tea: "The aroma is tangy, sweet in the bitterness, bitter in the sweet, bitter first and then sweet, and the fragrance on the lips and teeth is endless aftertaste. Brother Song's skill in making tea is probably not less than ten years?" Shi Feng's expression was complicated. Looking at Song Bingge.

Song Bingge nodded slightly: "To tell the truth, Brother Shi, Mr. Song's ancestors were in the tea business. It has gone through five generations, and Mr. Song is the sixth generation. Song Bingge learned about tea at the age of seven, and started making tea at the age of nine. Now, if you count carefully, it is already Twelve."

"Sure enough, the craft of making tea can't be mastered without decades of immersion. Good tea is good craft."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Shi Feng put down his teacup and brewed a pot of tea for Song Bingge to pour three cups: "Brother Song, how about trying Shi Feng's tea?"

"my pleasure."

"Please!"

Song Bingge picked up the teacup and looked at it carefully, and took a sip, showing an intoxicated look: "The color of tea is the best, the fragrance of tea is tangy, and the bitterness is astringent. The skill of making tea has been around for several years, right?"

"Seven years!"

"Being immersed in the tea ceremony for seven years, Brother Shi can be called a tea master!"

"Not much gossip, to be honest, Shi can't decide which tea art is better between you and me."

"Song also thinks the same way, why not"

"How about a draw?"

"Stick what you want."

"My lord, Lord Qi, Lord Zhao, Master Wenrenshan, Song Bingge's incompetent tea art is on par with Brother Shi, a scholar of the Kingdom of Jin, and there is no winner or loser. The two of us agreed that this tea ceremony competition will end in a draw. Please approve it."

"Okay, the competition is the second, the friendship is the first, you and the scholar Shi Feng of the Kingdom of Jin can abandon the suspicion of the two countries, and become close friends with each other. , I will definitely reward you heavily."

"Thank you sir!"

Shi Feng walked in front of Wan Yang hesitantly: "Commander, my subordinates are incompetent and have failed to overwhelm the Jiangnan scholars."

Wan Yang stared at Shi Feng with a gloomy expression: "Do you still remember what I said just now and your promise?"

"Here, my subordinates remember that the commander said that no defeat is allowed, and Shi Feng is undefeated!"

"You are quibbling!"

"The subordinate is rude, the subordinate did not violate the commander's intention, and lost this competition."

Wan Yang pondered for a while and laughed lightly, inexplicably: "You step back!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

Yan Yu looked at Wan Yang in amazement, knowing that her sister would never let Shi Feng off so magnanimously, why was she so tolerant this time.

Zhao Fengshou couldn't hide the smile on his face, and he was full of relief: "Master Qi, you are not welcome to be an official!"

Qi Run also nodded calmly: "Of course."

Zhao Fengshou stood on the high platform and looked at Wan Yang who also came out: "Ten years of cold windows, no one asked, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. Since the founding of our dynasty, we have abandoned the way of selecting officials and scholars from the nine ranks of the previous dynasty, and opened up to win favor. Science, select scholars based on their talents. The sons of princes and nobles, and the poor and poor disciples, can all become officials. Congratulations to the senior high school scholars and see you off, I hope you will take the exam in the next autumn and be crowned Gaoque."

"Thank you, Lord Qi, thank you, Lord Zhao, this junior will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

Zhao Fengshou nodded with satisfaction: "My dynasty follows the words and deeds of the saints, and it is not unreasonable to have friends come from afar. Today's Luming is a precedent for this dynasty. I have had fun with the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin. It has never happened before, and it can be recorded." Entering Jinling Prefecture Chronicles, it has been passed down as a good story, and it has been passed on for hundreds of years. The great competition between the two countries has always adhered to the principle of diplomatic relations and communism, so I salute and thank the scholars of the Jin Dynasty for their visit and instruction."

"We, Jiangnan scholars, would like to thank all of you brothers who have traveled thousands of miles to teach us."

"The two countries, Dragon and Gold, have had diplomatic ties for a hundred years. They are brotherly countries. They have always advanced together and retreated together. The host family is also delighted by the visit of distinguished guests. Thank you again for meeting the mission."

"We, Jiangnan Scholars, would like to thank all the distinguished guests from Taiwan for coming!"

"As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. Today's competition, the victory lies in the communication, and the winner is uncertain. However, the state has state laws, and the family has family rules. There should be a conclusion on the etiquette of friendship. Respectfully."

"We thank you all, brothers."

After the scene was finished, Zhao Fengshou looked at Wan Yang gently: "Commander Wan, Baya Grand Competition, your country's mission has three victories and one tie. The disciples in the south of the Yangtze River are not talented, and there are four victories. The big competition, Long Guo Winning, what does Commander Wan think?"

Wan Yang's eyes were slightly closed: "I congratulate the Jiangnan scholar for winning the first prize."
