Chapter 1858: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger


After Sagawa Suzuki saw Han Tianlong take out the tea, he carefully opened a special suitcase he carried with him.

When he opened the suitcase, there were three boxes of tea inside.

The packaging colors of these three boxes are gold, silver and copper respectively.

This time, Sagawa Suzuki took out the golden packaging box without any hesitation and placed it gently on the table.

However, he did not open the tea box, but looked at Han Tianlong with a smile and said: "Boss Han, can you explain the winning and losing criteria for this tea fight first?"

Han Tianlong smiled faintly and said: "Okay, that's no problem.

Our current standards for tea fighting are different from those in ancient times.

In ancient times, there were two standards for tea fighting, one for soup color and two for water marks.

First, check whether the color of the tea soup is fresh and white.

Pure white is the winner, blue-white, gray-white, and yellow-white are negative.

The color of the tea soup can reflect the tea picking and processing skills.

The pure white color of the tea soup indicates that the picked tea is fat and tender and the preparation is just right; the tea soup color is green, indicating that the steamed tea is not cooked enough; the gray color indicates that the steamed tea has been overheated; the tea soup is yellow, indicating that the tea was not picked in time; If it turns red, it means it has been baked over time.

Secondly, look at the duration of the soup flower.

Now our tea fighting mainly depends on several points.

First, we need to look at the shape and color of the dry tea.

Secondly, we need to look at the color, taste, and leaf base of the tea soup.

Finally, we make a comprehensive score. " Sagawa Suzuki couldn't help but frowned: "Then what if the tea I brought is Matcha?

In our Japan, Matcha is very famous.

The top brand of Matcha in the world is in Japan.

The best Matcha in the world is also in us.

Japan."

Han Tianlong smiled slightly: "If you brought matcha, you can be a bystander in today's tea fight.

We can choose another time.

I will drink matcha with you specifically.

But Mr.

Sagawa Suzuki, what you just said The world’s top matcha brand is in Japan, I admit that, but if you say that the best matcha in the world is in Japan, I disagree.”

At this time, Qin Shuai said with disdain: "Sagawa Suzuki, don't pretend to be a bigot.

Although the world's top Matcha brand is in Japan, the real originator of your Japanese Matcha is in China.

It evolved from the late tea in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, we Chinese people are really bad at brand management, but Yes, I definitely don’t believe it when you say that the best powdered tea is in Japan.

I am a tea lover.

I have drank all the top brands of matcha in Japan, and I have also drank matcha made by ordinary people in some tea-producing areas in China.

With all due respect, your Japanese brand of mocha is indeed great, but it is much worse than the matcha made by some private experts.”

Hearing that the matcha he was proud of was once again attacked by Qin Shuai, Sagawa Suzuki's eyes burst into flames, but he also knew that Japanese matcha was indeed introduced from China.

There was no problem with this.

Of course, for this He would never admit this piece of history.

Sagawa Suzuki rolled his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said: "The history of Matcha is not the topic of our tea fight today, and the tea I brought today is not Matcha."

At this point, Sagawa Suzuki looked at Han Tianlong Said: "Boss Han, as far as I know, your Chinese tea fighting culture has a long history.

Before the tea fight, there is a saying about the tea fight, and in your traditional Chinese culture, there are many poems describing tea.

Since it is a tea fight in your country, how about we fight a tea fight first?

How about everyone recite one?

Regarding the poems describing tea, how about seeing who can recite more in the end and who wins this round?"

Sagawa Suzuki is a smart man and a person who is good at seizing the weaknesses of others.

He has been studying tea ceremony for decades, including more than 20 years of studying Chinese tea ceremony.

Therefore, he has a deep understanding of Chinese tea culture and the aspects of tea culture.

The poem describing tea is quite familiar.

As far as he knows, the most popular thing in China right now is learning English.

English training classes are popping up everywhere.

However, there are very few training classes for training Chinese traditional culture.

The reason is very simple, because learning English can provide these Chinese people with Bring employment opportunities and advantages.

However, in Sagawa Suzuki's view, the Chinese people are simply abandoning their roots and chasing the weak.

China's traditional culture has a long history and contains many essences.

The gradual decline of Chinese people's moral concepts is related to the decline of learning and research on Chinese traditional culture. .

Chinese people don't learn it, but as a Japanese, he has to learn it.

Just like Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-six Strategies, in Japan, this is something that every elite person in Japan who is interested in business and politics must study carefully.

And many Japanese, especially Japanese politicians, like to use various strategies in Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies to deal with China.

Seeing that Qin Shuai was only in his thirties, Sagawa Suzuki decided that he must be very rough in traditional Chinese culture and even had a partial understanding of it.

There were very few poems about tea in Chinese textbooks, so he believed that through this In the second tea fight, he could directly give Qin Shuai a blow and humiliate him severely.

He had already thought of the subtext of humiliating Qin Shuai.

But Han Tianlong frowned when he heard this.

As a tea ceremony master, he naturally has a deep understanding of tea ceremony.

He also knows some poems about tea, but he is far from being proficient.

Now looking at what Sagawa Suzuki means, he seems to be quite knowledgeable about this way.

Proficient and even confident, Han Tianlong was a little less confident.

But as the host of the teahouse, he was embarrassed to refuse directly.

After all, it was a Japanese who proposed to start the tea fight, and what they wanted to fight was the traditional Chinese culture.

If I don't even dare to accept this challenge, then I will be too embarrassed by the Chinese people.

During hesitation, Han Tianlong looked at Qin Shuai and said, "What do you think?"

Qin Shuai still had the same calm demeanor as before and said: "Whatever, let's just fight over the tea order.

A little Japanese is competing with us Chinese people about poetry.

Isn't this a rat licking a cat's leg and sucking it to death?

What, Boss Han?"

, don’t you dare?”

When Han Tianlong saw Qin Shuai's face, he was so angry that he wanted to pick up the teapot and pour boiling water on his face.

This guy is so fucked up.

I didn't even notice my hint.

However, Han Tianlong is also a well-informed person.

In this case, he naturally refused to admit defeat.

He immediately smiled and said: "Okay, let's fight for the tea order now.

Since I am the host, it is up to me."

Let’s start with a song by the Tea Saint Lu Yu.”

As he spoke, Han Tianlong recited: "I don't envy the golden lei, I don't envy the white jade cup.

I don't envy the morning when I enter the province, I don't envy when I enter the stage at dusk.

I envy the water of the West River, which once came down to Jingling City."

After Han Tianlong finished reciting, he looked at Sagawa Suzuki with a smile.

His face was full of calm, but there was some drumming in his heart.

Sagawa Suzuki chuckled, nodded and said: "What a song of six envy.

Through this six envy song, the tea sage expresses his love for tea vividly.

Then I will sing Bai Juyi's mountain spring sencha.

This I am also a tea lover.”

After finishing speaking, Sagawa Suzuki chanted in his blunt Mandarin: "Sit and drink cold water, watch the cooking and dust.

I can't help but hold a cup and send it to the tea lover."

After speaking, Sagawa Suzuki looked at Qin Shuai, his eyes full of provocation.

Qin Shuai smiled: "Since Mr.

Sagawa Suzuki has brought out Bai Juyi's poems, I will write a poem about tea by Yuan Zhen.

This is a one- to seven-character poem, also known as Yiqiling, also called Ta poem: Tea fragrant leaves, buds A poet admirer, a monk’s family Carved white jade, woven red yarn The color of yellow pistils is fried, and the bowl is turned into dust flowers.

The queen of the night invites you to accompany the bright moon, and the morning brings you to the morning glow.

I have washed away all the people of the past and present without getting tired.

How can I boast that I will be drunk and in chaos?

When Qin Shuai finished reciting this pagoda poem, both Sagawa Suzuki and Han Tianlong were a little shocked.

Both of them have read a lot of poems about tea, and can even recite a lot of them, but they rarely pay attention to this pagoda poem.

But now, after Qin Shuai finished reciting it, both of them were fascinated by it.

I was shocked by the exquisiteness and artistic conception of this pagoda poem.

At this moment, Sagawa Suzuki looked at Qin Shuai without the previous contempt in his eyes.

He had realized that although the young man in front of him looked carefree, since the other party could recite this strangely structured tower Poetry, and it is also a poem by Yuan Zhen, which shows that the other party's knowledge of traditional Chinese culture is probably quite profound.

Otherwise, how could such a pagoda poem be easily found?

What's more, he recited it verbatim in front of everyone.

Han Tianlong's eyes looked at Qin Shuai with a bit more solemnity.

He had also realized that the young man in front of him was probably not an easy person to deal with.

Thinking of this, Han Tianlong said with a smile: "Okay, it's my turn again.

Tea is also called Ming.

Since ancient times, tea has been a gift given by friends to communicate with each other.

It is also in line with the tea ceremony expressed by Mr.

Sagawa Suzuki before, so , I will write a poem by Li Qunyu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, who sent a new tea to suit the occasion: The fire is full of fragrance, and the green flowers of Wu'ou Xiang River are new.

After Han Tianlong finished reciting, he looked at Sagawa Suzuki again.

After three rounds, when it was Han Tianlong's turn again, Han Tianlong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "You have said everything I can remember.

I will admit defeat this round."

Seeing this, Sagawa Suzuki had a look of pride and pride on his face.

He straightened his waist and looked arrogant.

He looked at Qin Shuai with pride and said, "Are you admitting defeat?"

Qin Shuai smiled and said: "There is no word lose in my dictionary.

You go first or me first?"

Sagawa Suzuki put on a very generous look and said, "You go first."

Qin Shuai was not modest, he just nodded lightly and recited: "Then I will write another poem by Bai Juyi.

The title of the poem is: Yuan Xiao sent a new tea to Shu: When the tea from Shu was sent, it was new, and I didn't wake up until it was boiled in Weishui.

"It's so full that you can hold it and play with it.

It's spring and people are thirsty for wine."

After Qin Shuai, Sagawa Suzuki recited a piece of Pi Rixiu's "Making Tea", and then Qin Shuai immediately responded to a piece of Liu Yuxi's "Tasting Tea".

The two of them were competing with each other, and Han Tianlong was already a little dumbfounded at this moment.

He did not expect that Sagawa Suzuki, a Japanese, would be so proficient in Chinese tea poetry.

What he did not expect was that Qin Shuai, without any preparation, had no intention of admitting defeat and compromised, and actually fought on a par with Sagawa Suzuki. .

Qin Shuai looks like a young man in his thirties.

It stands to reason that a person of this age should not be very proficient in traditional Chinese culture and poetry.

Next, after the two competed for 8 more rounds, Sagawa Suzuki sat there, sweating profusely, racking his brains, and could no longer think of a poem related to tea.

At this time, Qin Shuai said lightly: "Mr.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Sagawa Suzuki, do you admit defeat?"

Sagawa Suzuki's face was full of unwillingness, but he could only nod with a wry smile: "I admit defeat.

Can you still recite a few songs if you are unwilling to do so?"

Qin Shuai did not speak, he just stood there and calmly recited another poem by Xie Zongke's Snow Jiancha, Su Shi's Ode to Tea, Li Bai's clan nephew Zhongfu presented Yuquan Cactus Tea, and finished the recitation.

After these three poems, Qin Shuai looked at Sagawa Suzuki calmly and said, "Mr.

Sagawa Suzuki, do you need me to recite some more?

I can't recite many tea poems, only more than three hundred."

When Sagawa Suzuki heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Qin Shuai in shock, with an incredible look on his face.

He has always believed that his attainments in the tea ceremony are definitely considered advanced in Japan, especially on the poems related to tea.

He has worked hard and can recite a few poems related to tea.

Ten songs, but now, when compared with the young man in front of him, he realized that he was still a little shallow.

Although he didn't know whether this young man's claim that he could recite three hundred tea-related poems was true or false, he had to admit that he had really underestimated the Chinese people, and even more so the young man in front of him. .

Thinking of this, Sagawa Suzuki frowned and asked: "Young man, are there many Chinese people as familiar with Chinese traditional culture as you?"

Qin Shuai smiled and shook his head: "Mr.

Sagawa Suzuki, I really can't answer the question you asked, but there are about seven or eight people who make me feel more admired and convinced by their attainments in Chinese traditional culture.

Of course, Well, I’m just talking about friends of our age.

As for those who are older than us, I don’t know many Chinese masters, but most of my friends are just disciples of some Chinese masters.”

As soon as Qin Shuai said these words, Sagawa Suzuki felt that at that moment, he seemed to be hit directly by countless thunderbolts, and there was a short circuit in that moment.

He suddenly realized that the Chinese people really should not be underestimated.

This person who randomly jumped out to fight for tea turned out to be far superior to me in both tea ceremony and tea poetry.

But what made him more gratified was that this person was probably not very good at tea fighting.

Otherwise, how could he use iron boxes to pack tea?

Thinking of this, he seemed to have found a trace of confidence again, and looked at Han Tianlong Said: "Okay, Boss Han, he won this round, let's go directly to the tea fight
