Song Ming smiled and said, "Although I already knew the outcome, I still have to go through the procedures."
Ishii smiled and said, "So you were already prepared to lose. Heh heh, after today, Chinese tea leaves will become history! My Hiei family is the king of tea leaves! "
Song Ming smiled faintly and didn't say a word. Instead, she took out an exquisite tea bag and said, "This is the tea for our competition."
He still didn't say the name. He only walked over and carefully handed it to Song Xian as if he was spitting out porcelain.
Song Xian received the tea bag with both hands and gently poured out the tea inside.
At that instant, everyone craned their necks and looked over. They wanted to see what kind of tea the Song family had taken out to drink.
Many people exclaimed when they saw it!
"It's raw tea!"
"No, it's not raw. This is fresh tea leaves! It's tea leaves that haven't been stir-fried! "
"Can … Can this be drunk?"
"Tea leaves have to go through many processes such as sun-drying, stir-frying, kneading, rolling, piling, drying, pressing, steaming, pressing, and storage. Only then can outstanding and fragrant tea leaves be produced. If it doesn't go through sun-drying and stir-frying, the first step is to sterilize the tea leaves. In addition, sun-drying can activate the enzymes in the tea leaves to begin fermentation. Stir-frying at high temperatures destroys the fermentation of the enzymes. Thus, together with sun-drying, the fermentation time of the tea leaves can be controlled. Furthermore, the smell, bitterness, and astringency of the tea leaves are clear, leaving only a faint floral fragrance in the tea leaves.
The subsequent procedures are also to fix the color and taste of the tea leaves … Without any process, it would be incomplete for the tea leaves.
But the tea leaves in front of us haven't been processed at all … Will this … work? "an elder said worriedly.
"That's right. I'm afraid we'll lose!"
…
The moment Ishii saw the tea leaves, he immediately identified if they were Seven-Inch Fragrance or an improved variety of it. Although he was far away, in order to know his enemy, his familiarity with Seven-Inch Fragrance wasn't inferior to any of the Song family members.
Therefore, although Ishii had seen it from afar, he could tell that it was definitely not Seven-Inch Fragrance!
Not Seven-Inch Fragrance?
Ishii's heart was in his throat. He was really afraid that the Chinese tea merchants would produce a tea he didn't know about.
He wasn't worrying blindly. Last time, he had lost to Seven Inch Fragrance because of his carelessness.
This time, he would not allow himself to make such a mistake again!
However, when he saw that it was fresh tea leaves, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced at Song Ming and said, "Madam Song, don't tell me you want to compete with me with unprocessed tea leaves?"
Song Ming smiled and said, "Why? Can't I? "
Ishii shook his head and said, "Of course. However, if that's the case, the competition would be too boring. We won too easily … "
Song Ming immediately laughed. "Ishii, if I remember correctly, you said the same thing last time, and you lost quite badly. What? Is it acting up again this time? "
Ishii looked at Song Ming's confident look and frowned slightly. However, he shook his head and said, "There's no tea leaves in the world that can surpass refined tea leaves. Let's compete. Let's speak with facts!"
Song Ming nodded slightly. The two of them sat down and waited for the match to begin.
At this moment, as the referee waved his hand, two sets of lights shone over. At that instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the two masters.
Master Chiyo appeared very calm and elegant. His every move was natural, making everyone feel very comfortable.
When they looked at Master Song Xian again, he was clearly stunned on the spot. He was stunned for a few seconds!
Everyone was puzzled. What was wrong with Song Xian?
Only Song Xian could see clearly that the tea leaves in the box in front of him emitted a green glow when they were illuminated by the strong light. They were like jadeite, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to touch them!
Therefore, Song Xian stood rooted to the ground and did not move.
Song Ming frowned and wanted to remind him, but she held back because of the rules.
Thankfully, Song Xian only froze for a few seconds before he began. It was the same smooth and natural movements. It was a feast for the eyes.
However, Chiyo was clearly one step faster. After the tea leaves were soaked in water, he poured them into the teacup!
"He didn't wash the tea!" Boss Jia exclaimed.
Boss Qian snorted coldly and said, "That's Hiei Premium Tea. All the tea leaves are taken care of by professionals. They don't use any chemical products. It's all taken care of by hand. They catch insects, remove weeds, and even wipe the dust every day!
The Hiei family's tea garden is on Mount Hiei in Japan. It has a huge tea garden of six thousand acres, but Hiei Premium Tea is in the deepest part of the tea garden. It's far away from all the hustle and bustle. It's clean and spotless!
The production process of Hiei Premium Tea is also completely aseptic, including the final packaging.
If there's any bacteria, the only possible step is when it falls into the customer's hands and the moment the packaging is opened.
As for washing the tea, it's just washing the dust off the tea leaves.
However, Hiei Premium Tea is so clean, so why does it need to be washed?
Furthermore, as a green tea, it can't be soaked for long. After a few soaks, the taste will fade.
If such an exquisite tea like Hiei Premium Tea is wasted, the real money is secondary. Most importantly, it's a pity. "
Upon hearing this, Boss Jia and the others were dumbfounded.
One of the bosses said, "I've long known that the Japanese are so meticulous that they're almost perverted … From the looks of it, I've underestimated them. It's no wonder they can develop Hiei Premium Tea. With such an attitude, it's difficult not to succeed. "
Boss Qian said, "Of course. The Chinese can't do this."
When Boss Jia heard that, he chuckled and said, "If there's a chance, Boss Qian, you should go to the tea shops of the Zhao, Song, Sun, and Li families to take a look. Then, you can say that again. The Japanese are learning from each other, and so is China. Back then, China's crude way of growing tea was indeed backward. But now … if you go and take a look, you will naturally understand what it means to not fall behind others. Oh, I almost forgot. Boss Qian seems to have been blacklisted and can't enter these tea gardens. "
When Boss Qian heard this, his face instantly darkened. He was puzzled. How long had it been since they last met? Why did Boss Jia sound like he was an enemy? In the past, he could at least save face … Now, he was being slapped in the face!
Just as Boss Qian was about to flare up, he heard someone shout, "Master Chiyo, start pouring the tea!"
The moment that was said, Boss Qian didn't have the time to bother with Boss Jia. Instead, he looked up.
He happened to see Master Chiyo pour the tea out of the teapot as though it was heavy. The tea was like a spring, appearing especially beautiful under the light.
