Immediately, a waiter came over and served the tea.
The nine judges served the tea …
Ishii said, "In front of Hiei Premium, there's no tea in the world!"
The first old man picked up the teacup and took a sip. He immediately frowned as though he was thinking about something or suspecting something. Then, he took another sip …
Upon seeing this, Ishii smiled. "I've said it before. In front of Hiei Premium, there's no tea in the world. No matter how good your tea is, you have to wait until the taste of Hiei Premium dissipates. Unfortunately … there's too little time. "
Song Xian chuckled and asked, "Is that so?"
A member of the Hiei family laughed and said, "Just look at the judges' expressions. I'm afraid they're wondering if they've tasted the tea. Usually, one sip of tea is enough. After so many sips, you're still tasting it. It can only mean that your tea is tasteless. "
Just as he said that, the host suddenly walked over and said, "This, Master Song, do you still have any more tea? The judges need another cup. "
Upon hearing this, Ishii became even happier. "Haha … You want another cup after tasting one cup? How bland is your tea?"
Song Xian ignored him and poured another cup for the judges. After he was done, he said, "This is the last cup. You have to leave some for me, right?"
The host chuckled. The judges' faces were clearly red, but due to the lighting, they couldn't see it clearly.
When Ishii heard this, he curled his lips and said, "When you lose, you can take your time to drink this tea."
On the other side, the host gestured for the waiter to serve the tea. However, a hand landed first. It was a tea master from F Country!
This person said in fluent Mandarin, "I think I'll do it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clatter. The judges who had been sitting there motionlessly all stood up and ran over. In an instant, their demeanor as masters was completely gone.
All of them surrounded Song Xian and personally picked up their teacups. They narrowed their eyes and tasted it.
Only one of them, an old man, raised his head and drank all the tea leaves when he saw that everyone was tasting it!
Then, he put down his teacup and said, "Brother Song, want another cup?"
When the others saw this, the few masters who had been mindful of their demeanor hurriedly raised their heads and drank all the tea in their cups. Following that, they put down their teacups and licked their lips. "Brother Song, another cup. I couldn't taste it just now … "
"That's right, it's just that … he drank it too fast." The tea tasting master from F Country nodded.
The others echoed his sentiments.
Seeing this, everyone felt that something was wrong. Was he tasting tea or was he thirsty?
Tang Chen said, "No way? Why do I feel like there's something fishy going on here? "
Tang Ze smiled bitterly and said, "I've underestimated the charm of Frost Bamboo tea. If I had known earlier, I would have become a judge. Sigh … Unfortunately, it was a little too late when I found out about this. Also, as a Chinese, I have to avoid arousing suspicion. "
When Tang Chen heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Master, you mean that this group of old fellows are using this opportunity to drink tea?"
Tang Ze nodded and said, "What else do you think they are doing? A tea master was able to report the age of the tea leaves, the location of the tea leaves, the amount of sunlight, the quality of the tea leaves, the quality of the tea leaves, the quality of the tea leaves, the quality of the tea leaves, the quality of the tea leaves, the quality of the tea leaves, the quality of the tea leaves, and so on... And here to be a judge? These old fellows were obviously shameless enough to freeload tea. Song Xian had long seen through it, so he asked them to leave some for him … In the end … Sigh … "
Tang Chen clicked his tongue and said, "They're a little shameless for doing this."
Tang Ze said, "If it were you, you would be shameless too."
Tang Chen was speechless. After a while, he asked, "Master, what if it were you?"
Tang Ze thought for a moment and asked, "Can my face be drunk as tea?"
Tang Chen shook his head.
Tang Ze said, "Then I don't want it …"
Tang Chen: "…"
Song Xian saw the judges staring at him with a pair of green eyes. It was as though they would fight him to the death if he didn't give it to them.
Song Xian said with a bitter smile, "Don't look at me like that. This tea is a treasure. We only have so little. Two cups is enough for us! Hurry up and announce the results. "
"How can we announce it if we can't taste it?" The F Country's judge's eyes darted around.
The D Country's judge nodded and said, "That's right. Give me another cup. I guarantee I can taste it."
The B Country's judge said, "Yes, we do need another cup."
…
Seeing that these old fellows were shameless enough to drink tea, Song Xian said helplessly, "Can't you guys leave some for me? I won't be treating you next time! "
When the judges heard that, they all chuckled.
Ishii could also tell that something was amiss. When he heard the judges' words, he immediately went forward and said, "This isn't fair! Hiei only drank one cup, and all of you drank so much of this tea. This has already affected the fairness of the competition! "
When the old man who had been speaking in Chinese heard that, he immediately turned his head to look at Ishii and said in Japanese, "Kid, even your old man doesn't dare to speak to me like that. If we can't represent fairness, then tell me, who can? "
Ishii blushed when he heard that. Others might not know these people, but he knew very well the backgrounds of these judges. None of them were simple figures!
Tang Chen whispered to Tang Ze, "Master, what's the background of these judges? Ishii seems a little afraid of them. The Hiei family's status in the international arena isn't low. "
Tang Ze said, "That old man with the goatee is the royal family of Southeast Asia. That old fellow from F Country is the Prime Minister's brother. That short blonde hair and suit is the Grand Duke of Y Country. It's said that he's a guest of honor of the Queen, a noble among the old nobles. Even the Prime Minister has to greet him … That's the father of the richest man in Japan … That's a prince from the Middle East …"
Upon hearing the backgrounds of these people, Tang Chen subconsciously grinned. Thinking back to his rude words from before, his forehead broke out into a cold sweat. He said, "Oh my god, when these people are gathered together, it's simply …"
Tang Ze said, "They are the representatives of the nobles of various regions in the world. They also represent the gateway to the high-end tea market. Only teas that can be praised by them are qualified to enter the high-end market. This is also a competition between the two world tea hegemons of China and Japan. If it was any other place, they wouldn't be able to be invited. At least, they wouldn't be able to be invited. "
Tang Chen clicked his tongue and said, "It's no wonder Song Ming kept saying that this matter is of great importance. So the results of this competition are so authoritative."
