Chapter 164 Asking for a Battle for the King (4)

Zhong Weiwei was a different person when he sat down.

From a mean and provocative female official, she became a lady in a famous ink painting.

Calm and unhurried, with elegant demeanor, every move is pleasing to the eye, with a sense of rhythm and beauty.

Her temple hair is like a raven, her skin is like a magnolia, and her long sparse eyelashes hang down like the stamen of a lotus flower.

She is a famous painting in itself, and it is easy to get addicted to it.

When I woke up, I just wanted to take this famous painting as my own, admire it with my heart, and not allow others to touch it.

The envoy of Fan Zhou was fascinated by the sight, and a hot current surged up in his lower abdomen, which made his mind flutter, and he almost forgot what he was doing.

Someone gave him a hard push.

A young eunuch pouted and stared at him with hatred:
"If the sand in the hourglass has been released and the envoy has not divided the tea soup, then wait to call grandma."

The envoy of Fanzhou looked at the monarch of Li country who was sitting on the head.

Chonghua stared at him expressionlessly, his eyeballs were a bit colder than ice skates.

If eyes can be used as a knife, he has already been beaten several times.

The envoy of Fanzhou was not afraid at all, and stretched out his hand calmly.

The entourage brought tea cakes, and the aroma of the tea cakes spread into Zhong Weiwei's nostrils.

She raised her head and looked at Fan Zhou's envoy in surprise—this was the smell of tea cakes made by Mei Xun.

Before, Chonghua had given Zhong Weiwei a cake of Meixun tea for comparison.

And the quality of the dragon and phoenix tea in her hand could not catch up with the tea made by Mei Xun.

As far as tea products are concerned, she has already lost a lot.

Therefore, Chonghua's concerns are justified.

He had known for a long time that the other party was using Mei Xun's tea, but he couldn't take out the Mei Xun tea that he kept privately for her to use.

Because she represents the country of Li, she can only use tea from the country of Li.

He was afraid that she would not know the heights of the sky and the earth, would boast, fall into the trap set by others, and be taken away.

After all, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, envoys from neighboring countries, turning back their promises is a taboo for a king.

So even if he was desperate, he probably could only watch her leave.

That's why he rushed to warn her, just place a big bet and let him take care of it.

Zhong Weiwei smiled at Chonghua, but what is tea?
Experts fight tea, fight tea, fight water quality, fight heat, and fight skills.

Although this envoy of Fanzhou was highly skilled, he might not be able to beat Mei Xun.

If she couldn't even defeat such a person, how could she represent Li Guo and challenge Mei Xun?
Seeing Zhong Weiwei's smile, Chonghua felt at ease suddenly.

Zhong Weiwei is a very reliable person, her self-confidence is not blind, he believes in her.

He returned Zhong Wei's only shallow but happy smile, and she was all for him.

She called him "My Majesty", and stood up to challenge regardless of safety. From betting to talking, it was all for him.

His heart jumped for joy, regardless of how many eyes were staring at him.

He stared at Zhong Weiwei unscrupulously, wishing to put her in his eyeballs.

Every move, every eyebrow raised and blinked, never let go.

Wei Rou's nails dug into her palm tightly, but she didn't feel any pain.

She stared nervously at Zhong Weiwei and the Fan Zhou envoy, fearing that Zhong Weiwei would win.

But Zhong Weiwei was always calm.

After grinding and sifting the dragon and phoenix tea, Xiaotang also set up the charcoal fire for the white-glazed stove.

The plum blossom snow water treasured in the clay pot was opened and poured into the water bottle.

Next, Zhong Weiwei will defeat the envoy of Fan Zhou by mastering the temperature of the water and exquisite techniques.

Empress Dowager Wei's eyelids twitched invisibly.

Because she saw Chonghua look back at her with meaningful eyes, as if she knew something.

She collected herself and tried to make her posture more dignified.

It was impossible for him to know that she had arranged so carefully that no one would know.

Maybe it's because he became suspicious, and it's not necessarily true that he cheated on her.

The water Zhong Weiwei used was snow water from plum blossoms, and the envoy of Fan Zhou used mountain spring water.

In theory, the water used by Zhong Weiwei is even better.

But this is not enough, the water is old and tender, if the water is not boiled enough, the tea foam will float up.

If the water is boiled too old, the tea foam will sink.

In order to control the heat conveniently, ordinary people use open pots when boiling water.

Judging the tenderness of water according to the bubbles that emerge from the water, fish eye bubbles are the first boil, continuous bubbles are the second boil, and foam splashes are the third boil.

The heat is clear at a glance, and everyone takes what they need.

When it's the turn of the masters to fight at the tea fighting party, this kind of good thing will be gone.

The long-mouthed tea bottles with lids are used for ordering and distributing tea.

This requires the tea-fighters to have a good ear, listen to the sound to distinguish the water, and rely on experience and ability to grasp the most suitable water.

This is called waiting for soup, and waiting for soup is the most difficult.

Both Zhong Weiwei and the envoy of Fanzhou guarded their water bottles, listening intently, lest they miss the most appropriate moment.

The entire hall was silent, and everyone even breathed lightly, fearing that it would affect them.

For most people, they are eager to influence the envoy of Fanzhou, but they are afraid of disturbing Zhong Weiwei;

For a small number of people with ulterior motives, they are eager to quarrel with Zhong Weiwei, but are afraid of quarreling with the envoy of Fan Zhou.

So they threw each other's rats, and they all dared not move.

The charcoal Zhong Weiwei uses is carefully selected charcoal, and Xiaotang's ability to light fires is one of the best.

Her water was boiled first, and she sat there idly, listening.

Suddenly, she moved.

Lifting the tea bottle with hands and feet, first heat the tea cup, and then adjust the tea paste.

One holds a bottle to fill water, and the other holds a whisk.

The hands are light and heavy, and after a while, the milk mist surges, and the soup flower floats out of the cup, congealing around the tea cup and not moving.

Like sparse stars and pale moon, white as snow.

Zhong Weiwei put down the tea bottle, sat upright, and looked back at the envoy of Fan Zhou.

It just so happened that the envoy of Fan Zhou had just finished ordering tea and looked up at her. Sparks flew everywhere when their eyes met.

The envoys from several other countries were witnesses and referees. Upon seeing the situation, they immediately got up and surrounded the two people's teacups, commenting and whispering.

They are all people who participate in the tea fighting meeting every year. They are used to seeing masters and big scenes, so they have their own criteria for judging.

Wei Rou stretched her neck anxiously and looked forward, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

Empress Dowager Wei glared at her viciously, she quickly sat down, lowered her eyes and pretended to be calm.

Lu Chun did not hide his curiosity, and said, "I don't know who will lose and who will win?"

Suddenly, Chonghua said indifferently: "Who does Xianfei think will lose and who will win?"

Lu Chun laughed and said coquettishly, "Of course we win."

She gritted the word "we" between her teeth, and dragged it over for a long time, with a coquettish part in it.

Hearing that, Wei Rou raised her eyebrows and looked at her viciously.

Lu Chun smiled provocatively at Wei Rou.

Wei Rou stared at her for a moment, then smiled coldly, and silently said with her lips: "Just pretend!"

Today's matter is something that Lu and Webster have worked together for a long time, and there is something wrong with the water used by Zhong Weiwei.
