Chapter 693 - Beautiful Smile (1/2)
There was an uproar in the hall after she finished speaking.
All the guests who often attended her tea parties had listened to her talk about the three states of the tea ceremony. The Fragrance Tea, Returning to Original Taste and the Pervading Fragrance.
At the same time, she mentioned that there was a man who could make tea at the highest level. In everyone’s impression, they subconsciously thought that this kind of supreme tea master should be an old man, but they didn’t expect that it was the young man in front of them.
Qin Zhong immediately felt a burning sensation on his face. It was as if someone had slapped him a hundred times.
Just now, he had laughed at Qin Haodong, mocking him for not knowing how to make tea. In the blink of an eye, he had become a tea supreme master. Even the Tea Fairy was extremely respectful toward him.
After the introduction, Hua Mingrui turned around and said to Qin Haodong respectfully, “Mr. Qin, since I saw your tea ceremony last time, I’ve made great progress in my skills. I barely reached Small Completion of Pervading Fragrance.”
“Can you give me some advice so that everyone can see what the real Pervading Fragrance is.”
Before Qin Haodong could respond, Ye Qing pinched his waist and shouted, “You brat, you are so enigmatic. You are actually an expert in the tea ceremony. Why did you not make tea for me during normal days?”
Wei Yanran had just come to her senses after falling into a dazed state. When she saw the intimacy between them, she felt envy in her heart. She couldn’t wait to be the one standing next to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong said with a wry smile, “Sister, I don’t usually have time.”
Ye Qing cried, “Then let me drink it now. I don’t believe that the tea you made is better than the tea made by the Tea Fairy!”
The Tea Fairy hurriedly said, “You must be joking. How can the tea I make compare with Mr. Qin’s?”
The more respectful and humbler Hua Mingrui was, the more curious Ye Qing became. She took Qin Haodong to the front desk and ordered him to make her a pot of tea as soon as possible.
Qin Haodong could not refuse, so he picked up the tea set and began to make tea. All the guests in the hall were watching quietly, trying to see what amazing skills this supreme master of tea ceremony had.
However, these people soon felt that Qin Haodong’s way of making tea was too simple. It was no different from making tea at home. He didn’t have the demeanor of a tea supreme master at all.
Usually, when Hua Mingrui made tea, her movements were like that of flowing clouds and water, giving people a pleasing sense of beauty. Even when Qin Zhong made the tea earlier, his movements were very beautiful, but Qin Haodong did not have these movements at all.
Some people even thought that Hua Mingrui had made a mistake. She regarded him as a tea supreme master because he was handsome.
As the saying goes, it’s not the wine that intoxicates, but the drinker who gets himself drunk. Although the tea was different from wine, the principle was still the same.
Under many surprised and doubtful gazes, Qin Haodong quickly made a pot of tea and said, “Okay, let everyone try it.”
Hearing that he had made tea, Ye Qing widened her eyes and looked at the ordinary purple sand teapot in front of her. There was no fragrance at all. She asked in surprise, “It seems that your tea is not as good as mine.”
The Tea Fairy hurriedly said, “Sister, Mr. Qin’s tea making technique has reached the level of being clumsy and returning to the original state. Please don’t misunderstand.”
Ye Qing said, “Didn’t you say that you have reached the realm of Pervading Fragrance? Why is there no fragrance at all?”
Qin Haodong smiled, picked up the purple sand teapot in front of him and poured a cup of tea for Ye Qing.
When the clear tea flowed out of the teapot, a strong fragrance was instantly emitted. This kind of tea fragrance was not only refreshing, but also extremely aromatic.
In an instant, the whole hall was filled with the fragrance and soon it spread throughout the teahouse. Even the pedestrians on the street could smell the tea fragrance.
“It smells so good. It smells so good. I’ve lived for more than half of my life, but I’ve never smelled such a strong tea fragrance…”
“What kind of fragrance is this? It smells so good. It seems that my cold has become much better…”
“Where did this fragrance come from? It seems to be from the Jingdong Teahouse. I’m going to try this good tea. It smells so good…”
After the people on the street confirmed that the fragrance came from the Jingdong Teahouse, they immediately swarmed into the teahouse.
In the main hall of the teahouse, the guests smelled the strong fragrance. Some of them slowly closed their eyes as they savored the smell, while others looked at the fragrant tea poured out by Qin Haodong with eager eyes. They couldn’t wait to grab a cup for themselves.
Qin Haodong poured tea into three cups and pushed them toward Hua Mingrui, Ye Qing, and Wei Yanran.
Ye Qing grabbed her teacup and drank it all in a few sips. Her expression was one of utter delight.
Hua Mingrui held the teacup in her hand as if she was holding a peerless treasure. Then, she took a sip and had an intoxicated and happy look on her face.
Wei Yanran glanced at Qin Haodong and there was a touch of shyness on her face. Then she slowly picked up the teacup in her hand and took a small sip.
As soon as the tea entered her mouth, she felt as if every cell in her body had been nourished by this strong fragrant tea. A sense of happiness bubbled from her heart.
She felt very happy. She even smiled. The smile came from deep within her heart, and was sincere and sweet.
Qin Haodong glanced at Wei Yanran, who wanted to get engaged to him. When he saw her smile, his eyes lit up.
He had 500 years of experience and had seen countless beautiful women. Even though he was never lacking in beautiful women, Wei Yanran’s smile was too beautiful for him.
As the saying goes, a sweet smile can fascinate a country. This could be describing the quiet girl in his presence.
When everyone fell silent, Ye Qing suddenly cried, “This tea is too delicious. Do you have any more? Hurry and pour me another cup of tea.”
