Bestial Wolf Father Snatches Mommy

65. The beginning of the edge - the tea ceremony!

Similar to Liu Qingmei, Tang Xiao came from a family of tea lovers. This does not mean that their family used to be a tea merchant, but that everyone in the Tang family has an indissoluble bond with tea. , then the Tang family is probably addicted to tea.

Under the influence of such a family environment, although Tang Xiao is young, he can be regarded as a master of tea ceremony.

It is said that the most powerful tea taster in the legend can distinguish the tea leaves at different altitudes on the same mountain through the tea soup, which can be described as miraculous.

Although Tang Xiao hadn't reached that level, she could tell the difference between the teas on the market without humility, as long as she took a sip of the tea soup.

There is not much difference between tea tasting and wine tasting in nature, but more and more people drink alcohol in the world today, but fewer and fewer people understand tea. Alcoholic beverages are naturally indispensable in various social occasions, but in some quiet places for small talks, alcoholic beverages seem to be out of the question, and only famous tea can support the elegance of the atmosphere.

Whether it’s arty or a special hobby, there are always some people who like to distinguish themselves from the public and make themselves look different. There are also many elderly people who have to give up drinking due to physical reasons Take tea, so people who understand tea have a three-point deeper connotation than those who understand wine.

If it is said that Su Jinnian was able to win against Liu Qingmei in the last wine tasting competition, it was due to the good family education and training of the famous Su family, as well as the superior conditions of frequent visits to various high-end places, then the next one The tea ceremony competition really tested Su Jinnian's self-cultivation and temperament as the daughter of the Wang family.

The competition rules of the tea ceremony are similar to the previous wine tasting. First, the staff of the Arbitration Association will list thirteen kinds of tea on the table, and then let the two taste the tea and tell the variety of tea. In view of the particularity of drinking tea, each tea is freshly brewed. The host seems to have deliberately modified the process in order to make the atmosphere of the scene more exciting. It is suggested that each tea should be named once, and the first person to make a mistake is the loser.

Naturally, Tang Xiao had no objection to such a proposal. What could be more refreshing than making Su Jinnian make a fool of himself on the spot?

Sensing the aggressive gaze from the other party, Su Jinnian didn't look back, but nodded slightly in agreement.

The competition after the revision of the rules undoubtedly made the atmosphere even more tense, because every tea soup is a gamble, and no matter how high the previous correct rate is, as long as there is only one tea left, Su Jinnian will always fail. possibility.

In view of the results of the first competition, everyone looked at Su Jinnian's ability with admiration, and no longer dismissed them as before. The specific manifestation is that many people at the scene opened their bets and regarded this competition as a A large part of people who know Tang Xiao's background still bet on her, but at the same time, a considerable number of people bet on Su Jinnian, hoping that she can create a new life for people. Amazing "miracle".

"Now, all the tea leaves have been put into the teapot, and the staff will pour the first cup of tea below."

The staff of the Arbitration Association walked to the table with a steaming kettle, raised their arms and poured water into the teapot. Pour hot water into the teapot, and pour the second light tea into two small teacups.

Su Jinnian and Tang Xiao each brought a small cup of tea soup to their mouths, took a sip, and then picked up a pen to write down the name of the tea on the card.

After both of them finished writing, the host took the cards in their hands one by one, presented them in front of the camera, and reported the results at the same time: "Student Tang Xiao wrote, Suzhou Biluochun! Su Jinnian wrote ——It’s also Suzhou Biluochun! So the first kind of tea, is it really Suzhou Biluochun? Please Professor Zhang announce the correct answer for us!”

Picking up the microphone, Professor Zhang smiled and opened the first note on the sticky board, admiring the two young students: "The first kind of tea is Suzhou Biluochun."

Suddenly, there was another thin commotion under the stage.

"Wow! That's amazing! You guessed everything right!"

"Yeah, it's amazing! Few people drink tea now. What scented tea or fruit tea do you want me to drink? It's almost the same. Isn't drinking tea leaves a hobby of dad and grandpa?"

"Well, tea can help you lose weight! I've drank some tea before, but I only know about Pu'er tea, Kuding tea, Tieguanyin, etc. Some teas are so bland that I can't taste them at all!"

Amidst the discussions among the crowd, the two people on the stage had already started drinking the second tea soup.

Soon, the host continued to announce the results of the tea tasting: "Tang Xiao-Junshan Yinzhen of Dongting Lake, Su Jinnian-Junshan Yinzhen of Dongting Lake."

Professor Zhang then uncovered the note on the sticky board, and the answer was no surprise.

"The second kind of tea is Dongting Lake Junshan Silver Needle!"

Immediately after—

"Tang Xiao-Yandang Maofeng, Su Jinnian-Yandang Maofeng."

"The third kind of tea, Yandang Maofeng!"

"Tang Xiao - Lushan Yunwu Tea, Su Jinnian - Lushan Yunwu Tea."

"The fourth type of tea, Lushan Yunwu tea!"

…

The further you go, the more nervous everyone is. Some people can't help but stand up, eagerly expecting Su Jinnian to make a mistake, but wanting to see her persevere until the end. Two very different moods are complicatedly intertwined. Together, they almost forgot their purpose of watching this match, and instead became more and more admired for Su Jinnian's talent.

As the number of boiled teas increased, Tang Xiao couldn't help becoming nervous. If it was a fluke to guess three kinds correctly, then starting from the fourth one, it would definitely be a real competition of strength. She thought it would be at most seven Su Jinnian could be kicked into the water within the time of making tea, but he never expected that the other party would not waver at all, as firm as Mount Tai.

Under the stage, the smile on An Xirong's lips gradually deepened, and the eyes she looked at Su Jinnian became more nostalgic and probing—

There are too many secrets in this woman, how much talent does she have that he doesn't know?

Back then when she brought back the pair of high heels that Su Jinnian left behind on the plane, An Xirong thought she was Cinderella who was being bullied by her stepmother and sister, and he was the prince who went to save her, but judging from the current situation... Come on, this woman is a treasure from head to toe! He's the lucky guy who accidentally picked up Aladdin's lamp.

Qianeying quietly stood aside, looking at the shining woman under the spotlight, secretly hoping that she would not be so outstanding, not so talented, otherwise there would only be more bees and butterflies following her. Sometimes he would die of jealousy if he was not exhausted.

Liu Qingmei, who had suffered so much, seemed to have predicted the result of the competition, and couldn't help but feel that this challenge had lost its meaning, so she turned around and persuaded Yan Jingyi who had not yet appeared on stage: "Xiaoyi, if even Xiaoxiao loses, you can directly Just give up...we are no match for her, she is...too strong."

However, everyone has a rebellious mentality, and no one is willing to admit defeat easily without trying it himself.

Yan Jingyi did not accept Liu Qingmei's kind persuasion, but cast a contemptuous glance at the other party, her tone of sarcasm: "You will lose because you are incompetent. Hmph, you want me to give up? That's impossible! Have you forgotten what we are for? Challenge her? I'm not reconciled if I don't drive her out of school!"

"Don't think my words are ugly, so what if you don't want to? Her strength is obvious, and I'm afraid that if you go up, it's just a shame."

"Hmph! Stop talking! I won't be like you, hopelessly stupid!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Jingyi shook her hand, turned around and walked away.

Liu Qingmei looked at the back of her leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help frowning slightly. She knew that Yan Jingyi was the kind of character who seemed to be very casual about everything on the surface, but in private, she was determined not to give up until she reached her goal. , looking at her posture, it seems that she is going to use some crooked brain...

After hesitating for a while, Liu Qingmei glanced back at Su Jinnian, then cast a glance at An Xirong, finally bit her lip, and did not follow Yan Jingyi to stop her.

However, what they didn't know was that as early as the beginning of the game, several pairs of eyes were fixed on them.

Seeing Yan Jingyi walking away from the crowd, Ximen Lie immediately turned on Mu Qing.

After being instructed, Mu Qing raised her hand and gently tugged at the brim of her hat, smiled, and quietly followed Yan Jingyi out.

These women really don't know what to do, they want to challenge their sister-in-law in a delusional way, just be quiet, if they dare to do something wrong, he, Mu Qing, will be the first to show mercy.

On the stage, the atmosphere was still tense. Offstage, everyone's nerves were tense. Some people couldn't help but silently recited: "Wrong! Wrong! Wrong..." On the other hand, some people prayed secretly : "Must win! Must win! Must win..."

The two different slogans were intertwined, and gradually developed into a confrontation between the two parties.

Finally, as a member of the girls' camp, a domineering older sister couldn't help but stepped forward, grabbed the chest of the leader of the boys' camp, and leaned forward viciously: "Shut up, old lady!"

The tall and burly boy was not afraid of her. Seeing her plain appearance, he didn't know what kind of pity she was, so he grabbed her hand and twisted it on the back of the chair, looking down at her: "Death! Three! Eight! You just shut up for me!"

During the dispute, the person next to him hurriedly patted the boy on the shoulder: "Look, look! It's the last one!"

Suddenly all eyes focused on the table again.

The voice of the host was trembling because of being too excited, especially when he received the two cards and saw what was written on them, his expression was exaggerated beyond description, which could be called "sinister"—

It's not easy, okay!

Finally, a different answer appeared. Although the difference was only two words, these two words alone were enough to determine the final outcome!

"Tang Xiao—Hangzhou West Lake Longjing Yuqian Tea, Su Jinnian—Hangzhou West Lake Longjing Mingqian Tea!"

The so-called Yuqian tea and Mingqian tea here refer to the time period when tea leaves are picked. Mingqian tea, as the name suggests, refers to the tea leaves picked before Qingming Festival. And the tea before the rain refers to the tea picked before the grain rain in the twelve solar terms. Generally speaking, the earlier the tea leaves are picked, the fresher and tenderer the roasted tea leaves will be, and the smaller the quantity, the more expensive the tea leaves will be.

Hearing the answer given by the host, Tang Xiao sneered suddenly: "What Mingqian tea, there is no such thing in the traditional tea world. If it were in the past, the climate before the Ching Ming Festival was still very cold, and the tea trees even The buds can’t be extracted, so how can there be any tea leaves?”

Su Jinnian is still as indifferent as water: "The past was the past, and now is the present. Now that the climate is getting warmer and the tea leaves are drawn earlier, the tea farmers naturally have to hurry up to pick them. That's why the new term "Mingqian tea" appeared. Of course, we must acknowledge the existence of this kind of statement. After all, in the current tea market, the price of Mingqian tea is more than doubled than that of Yuqian tea!"

"Uh..." Hearing the arguments of the two, the host didn't know much about the tea ceremony, and it sounded like everyone had a point, so he didn't want to talk too much, so he turned around and asked Professor Zhang from the Arbitration Association for help, "Now the two students Opinions seem to be divided, but no matter what, let's take a look at the 'standard answer' given by the Arbitration Association to judge right or wrong!"

As he said that, the spotlight fell straight on the last unopened paper seal on the sticky board in the direction pointed by the host.

Under everyone's attention, Professor Zhang slowly tore off the seal, revealing the six big characters written on it——

"The last kind of tea, Hangzhou West Lake Longjing tea!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the audience.

"What does this mean? Does it mean that both of them guessed correctly and there is no winner?!"

"No way! Since the production year of the wine was considered in the previous competition, since it was brought up this time, there should be an explanation, right?"

"Yes, yes, what Mingqian tea? What Yuqian tea?! I don't quite understand! But no matter what, since there is a competition, there must be a winner, right?"

…

After being bombarded by the audience, the host had no choice but to turn to Professor Zhang again: "Professor Zhang, look...? Do you want to pick some more tea leaves to continue the competition? After all, it is a competition, just like a ball game. Playing overtime..."

"No need." Professor Zhang smiled slightly, "The two of them are equally proficient in tea varieties, and there is no need to tell the winner if they compare each other. There is no need to waste more time. Besides, just pick the right tea leaves In terms of the accuracy of time, Su Jinnian's 'Mingqian tea' is more accurate, but Tang Xiao also has her reasons, so this game is a draw."

The Arbitration Association is the most credible department in Yinyao College. Since they have said so, it is difficult for others to refute. The facts are in front of them. Although Tang Xiao wrote about tea before the rain, with her ability, Obviously you can taste the preparation time for the tea picking, so it doesn't make much sense to fuss about such details.

Although Tang Xiao was still a little unwilling, she couldn't find any more reasons to refute. After all, what Su Jinnian said was correct. In the current world, the term "Mingqian tea" has long been flooded.

Just when she was feeling depressed, she saw Su Jinnian walking towards her slowly.

Tang Xiao frowned, thinking that she was here to show off, and was about to speak preemptively, but the other party smiled slightly: "I heard that you have been searching for the Jiangnan Fengtuan sparrow bud tea, but you have been looking for it for many years. I didn’t grab it, I happen to have a small cake at home, if you like it, I can give it to you.”

Hearing the other party's initiative, Tang Xiao frowned even deeper: "What do you mean? You can't win me over?!"

Not only did this girl look domineering, but she even spoke very straightforwardly. If an ordinary person heard her say that, she would definitely change her face and be too embarrassed to get off the stage.

But Su Jinnian is not an ordinary person. Not only was she not embarrassed, but she was very frank: "Yes, I am trying to win you over, but I don't know if Miss Tang...will you let me win you over?"

When Su Jinnian said this, her purpose was obvious. Tang Xiao was not stupid, and knew what she was planning.

Because of being discouraged by her, Tang Xiao's current mood can be said to be very aggrieved, but she has to admit that the other party is indeed very powerful. However, there will always be a feeling of sympathy for those who are outstanding among them. Nowadays, there are very few people who understand tea. It is naturally better to have one more tea friend than one more enemy.

Moreover, the other party also grasped her mind very precisely. Jiangnan Fengtuan Que tongue bud tea is a kind of tribute tea with very little production, and it is especially expensive. In the Song Dynasty, it cost twenty taels of gold to buy a cake, and often There is a price but no market, and you can’t buy it if you want to. She had been begging for this kind of tea for a long time, but she couldn't find it all the time. Now that someone was generously bringing it to her door, she couldn't say no to it no matter what.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Su Jinnian didn't force her: "Miss Tang, don't rush to give me an answer, we can discuss this matter at another time. Grandpa is abroad recently and won't be coming home for the time being, so for now, the tea leaves are placed in the My home is still safe."

Hearing this, Tang Xiao's expression moved slightly, and he couldn't help but secretly cursed the little fox in his heart.

This woman is really good at talking, she said on the surface that she is not in a hurry, but in the end she is threatening her that if she doesn't give an answer sooner, the tea will be drunk by Mr. Su!

"Hmph, if you really want to find me sincerely, then come to my house tomorrow!" Tang Xiao answered her coldly, then turned and walked away. At the end, he couldn't help turning his head back, and added to Su Jinnian: "Bring the tea..."

Su Jinnian raised her eyebrows—

Heh, the little fish has taken the bait, can it be far to catch the big fish?

Of course, what she values ​​is not the proud Ms. Tang, but the real estate tycoon Mr. Tang behind her. Grandpa said, as long as you have a good relationship with these behind-the-scenes veterans who have hidden achievements and fame, the entire city of A Just roll around as she pleases, life, how carefree and carefree you really want to be!

After two competitions in a row, An Xirong felt sorry for Su Jinnian's hard work, so he suggested a halftime break.

At this time, An Xirong's children's shoes are still Su Jinnian's decent and recognized "boyfriend". The dignity of the two of them doesn't need to cover up and hide anything.

Therefore, under the watchful eyes of everyone, An Xirong left the judges' seat full of joy and ran towards Su Jinnian, serving tea and water, not to mention how considerate, the girls and teachers present became inexplicably angry, They unanimously burned the raging flames on Su Jinnian's body.

However, for Su Jinnian, all the focused sights from female creatures are no match for the hot laser beam from upstairs that seems to be able to vaporize people in an instant, and she doesn't even dare to turn her head to look at Ximen Lie , my heart was full of anxiety, so I jumped off him on impulse and killed An Xirong on the spot!

That man, on the surface, looks extremely deep, but in fact has a stronger desire for monopoly than anyone else, and he comes from a gangster background, so he has no fear at all!

It's not that An Xirong didn't notice Su Jinnian's tense nerves. This sense of crisis became stronger after seeing Ximen Lie's appearance, but in order to prove his identity as a real boyfriend, he insisted on stepping forward Between the two, he used his thin body to block Ximen Lie's sight, and even hugged Su Jinnian's shoulder with a smile, declaring his possession.

"Are you hungry after playing for so long? As soon as things are over, let's go eat together! What kind of food do you like, Thai food, Japanese food, or Italian food?"

"F-whatever... Actually, I'm not hungry, really..."

Su Jinnian felt cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

In this situation, does it count as cheating on an old lover in front of Ximen Lie? How to say that sentence that deserves to be beaten, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the mountains of tigers.

but! If she breaks up with An Xirong now—

In front of so many people, not to mention An Xirong's embarrassment, she doesn't have to continue messing around in this school anymore!

Fortunately, after suffering for about ten minutes, Ximen Lie didn't come down to smash the scene. From a distance, he saw that girl named Yan Jingyi walking towards the stage in a bad manner. Su Jinnian said that she didn't think her face was disgusting at all. On the contrary, I think it is very cute! Nima, the savior is here!

An Xirong is not as nervous as Su Jinnian, on the contrary, for those men who appear beside Su Jinnian and covet her, his sense of smell is sharper than that of a wolf.

Seeing Su Jinnian's abnormal reaction, he vaguely guessed something, but he wasn't too sure.

Before stepping off the stage, An Xirong purposely leaned over and kissed Su Jinnian lightly on the lips, with a smile on her face: "HONEY, I'll wait for you!"

Su Jinnian's back stiffened, and he looked back apprehensively, but Ximen Lie was nowhere near the pillar on the second floor!

66. Are you angry?
