Chapter 692 - To See Tea Fairy Again (1/2)
Ye Qing continued, “Qin Zhong came here to pursue Wei Yanran. I heard that he really spends a lot of money picking up girls. He hired several of the best tea art masters in the capital to be his teachers to teach him the tea ceremony.”
Now his achievements in tea making are quite good. He is ranked among the top three every time and meets Wei Yanran and the Tea Fairy, enjoying the first-class tea and talking about life.”
At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall. “The Tea Fairy is here, the Tea Fairy is here…”
“And Miss Wei, I learned a new tea ceremony today. I must make it into the top three, so I can have a cup of tea with the two beauties.”
While the crowd was talking about it, two graceful figures appeared behind the beaded curtain area.
After sitting down in front of the tea table inside the beaded curtain area, Hua Mingrui said to the people outside, “Everyone, welcome to today’s tea party. First of all, please have a taste of my tea.”
After that, the maidservants with trays in their hands, came out one by one, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
“The tea is here. The tea is here. Finally, I can drink the tea of the Tea Fairy again…”
“I’ve drunk a lot of tea from teahouses, but none of them can compare with the Tea made by the Tea Fairy. This tea is really delicious…”
“It’s a pity that the tea party is held only once a week. Why can’t it be held once a day? In that case, I’ll be truly blessed…”
All the guests present were talking about it. In short, they were full of praises for the tea made by the Tea Fairy.
“I’m telling you, this is not the greatest level of tea from the Tea Fairy. Last time, when I got into the top three ranks, I finally tasted the tea made by the Tea Fairy in person. That was immortal tea, and every sip I took left me with endless aftertastes…”
“You want to show off, don’t you? I also want to enter the top three ranks and drink tea with the Tea Fairy face to face, but I have to have the ability…”
While everyone was talking, the maids quickly distributed the tea cups one by one, to the guests present, Qin Haodong’s table was given two cups of tea in total.
As the Emperor Green Wood, no one knew about tea better than him. Generally speaking, making tea was divided into three levels. To make the fragrance of tea was at the first level and to return to the original taste was at the second level. Pervading Fragrance was at the third level.
Although the tea in front of him was fragrant, it was only at the first level of the tea ceremony. However, to be able to brew so many cups of tea for so many people to such an extent was enough to show that the tea maker’s achievements in the tea ceremony were extraordinary.
Seeing that Qin Haodong did not touch the teacup in front of him, Ye Qing quickly grabbed it and said, “We agreed that you should give me this cup of tea.”
The tea made by the Tea Fairy was in a top-grade purple sand teacup. This kind of teacup was good, but unfortunately it was too small. Ye Qing could not enjoy it.
Qin Haodong said with a smile, “It’s just a cup of tea. If you can help me contact the National Museum tomorrow, I’ll make you a real good pot of tea so that you will have enough to drink.”
Ye Qing said in surprise, “You also know how to make tea. You are not fooling around with me, are you?”
“Not only do I know how to make tea, but no one can compare with me in making tea.”
Ye Qing sneered and said, “How dare you blow your trumpet in the Tea Fairy’s teahouse? No matter how good you are, can you compare with the Tea Fairy?”
Qin Haodong smiled and did not say anything. There was no need to argue about this kind of thing at all.
Soon, everyone drank up most of the tea in their cups. Hua Mingrui, who was inside the beaded curtain area, said, “Dear friends, you have already tasted the tea made by me. Next, let’s go to the second stage.
“After seeing your tea skills, I will give you my judgement. The top three can come in and have a cup of tea with me.”
“I’ll go first!”
As soon as Hua Mingrui finished speaking, a young man in his twenties rushed to the front desk. He was the one who claimed to have just learned how to make tea.
There was a table at the front desk and on the table was a set of high-quality purple sand tea set, which was for the guests to make tea.
The young man picked up the tea set and began to warm the kettle and the tea. His series of movements were quite good.
Qin Haodong shook his head as he watched. It was obvious that this man had just learned how to make tea. His attainments were very shallow and merely in form only. It was impossible that he could make good tea.
Soon, the young man finished making his tea. A maid brought the cup of tea into the beaded curtain area. However, Hua Mingrui just looked at it and frowned slightly. She put the cup aside. She could not drink this kind of inferior tea at all.
The young man stood outside the beaded curtain area. Although he could not see the Tea Fairy’s appearance clearly, he could see her movements. Seeing that the Tea Fairy did not even taste his tea, he immediately knew that he had failed and could only walk away resentfully.
After that, several people went to the stage, one after another, but their efforts were not very good. The Tea Fairy Hua Mingrui did not give any comment.
At this time, there was a burst of applause. The young master of the Qin family, Qin Zhong, stepped onto the stage.
Compared to the people in front of him, Qin Zhong’s tea skills were indeed much better. His series of movements were smooth and he quickly poured out a good pot of tea that had a fragrant smell.
Qin Haodong smiled slightly. In order to pursue Wei Yanran, this guy had indeed put in a lot of work in the tea ceremony. In time to come, he would be able to reach the higher level.
Although Qin Zhong was wearing a hat, he could still see the pride on his face. This guy poured the tea into two cups and asked the maid beside him to send them into the beaded curtain area.
He stood outside and said, “Miss Hua, Miss Wei, please have a taste of the tea I made.”
Wei Yanran picked up the teacup and took a sip, but she did not make any comment.
