With the development of Chinese tea culture for thousands of years, all kinds of teas compete for beauty, with green tea, black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea and dark tea as the main six categories, which are further divided into various subcategories.Not to mention the various types of tea, even the top ten famous teas in China can list a variety of opinions, and no one is willing to let anyone else.

Since the first tasting conference was held, it is rare for teas of the same category to be selected as the top five, let alone teas with the same attributes.Because the same variety will make people produce a kind of contrast, and it is easier for people to distinguish the difference between good and bad.

At least in the seven or eight tasting conferences hosted by this hostess, this kind of thing has never happened.But her good professionalism allowed her to react very quickly, and adjusted the atmosphere jokingly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the No. 1 tea was also a can of Junshan Yinzhen. I was really surprised. I have a I have a feeling that in the next six months, the market price of Junshan Yinzhen in the industry will rise.”

This kind of witty remark made the exhibitors and public judges in the audience laugh, and the host continued the topic that was interrupted just now after seeing the momentum gradually stabilized: "Then I will continue to announce. This No.1 Junshan Yinzhen got 59 votes! It’s really a high number of votes.”

A total of 53 exhibitors participated in the tasting conference, with 2 representatives from each party, with a total of 106 votes; 50 public judges, with 2 votes each, with a total of 100 votes; and 5 members of the jury with 10 votes each, with a total of 50 votes.In this way, there are a total of 256 votes, and this No.1 actually has 59 votes, which is really rare in the past years.

Such a high number of votes made everyone in the audience curiously waiting for the host to announce the final result, and several tea merchants who sent Junshan Yinzhen even stretched their necks, waiting for the pie on the day to fall on their own. head.

Luo Wen wrinkled his face suspiciously, and said in a tone that even he didn't believe it: "This... this can't be us, right? It's not... so evil?"

"The possibility...is not high." A sighing voice came from one side, Li Yunshu clenched his fingers, and looked intently at the host on the stage who deliberately whetted his appetite. The sweat seeped out, and the tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out.

The entire Chaohui Hall was silent.

"Then I'll announce that the vote winner of this tasting conference is No. 1..."

Panting, the voice suddenly stopped. The host knew how to adjust the atmosphere in the venue. She blinked her beautiful almond eyes and looked around, but she was still reluctant to say No.1's name.

It was the first time for Li Yunshu to feel the unprecedented tranquil tension around him.

This feeling of being out of control made him feel strange and strangely excited.If Huo Ershao, who is proficient in eating, drinking and playing, is present, he will definitely smile secretly and say: "Boss, you are too serious a gambler!"

But now, Huo Shaoze wasn't here, and the time passed extremely slowly, ten seconds seemed to stretch to a year.

After the host successfully whetted everyone's appetite, he squeezed his eyes in a funny way, and said, "This No.1 is also from our city b! That's right, it's..." The host suddenly raised his voice, announcing: "Yu Xiao Pavilion! Congratulations!"

The simple words "Yuxiao Pavilion" rang in Li Yunshu's ears, and his stiff body slowly relaxed like a balloon that had been punctured.Li Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and a helpless and funny smile appeared on his lips.

On the other hand, Luo Wen's eyes widened in disbelief, and when the people around him began to applaud, he suddenly thanked others as if he had come to his senses, and then murmured in a low voice, "It's really us? Xiemen, why don't you just buy a lottery ticket..."

Hearing this, Qin Qing asked with pursed lips, "Why, you still don't believe it when you get No.1? You didn't choose the tea, even if you bought the lottery ticket, you shouldn't be the one to buy it, Luo Tongqian."

Luo Wen said with a smile: "Why do I still buy lottery tickets? I have already taken my fancy for the No.1 jar of top-quality Junshan Yinzhen. If there is no accident, it should enter our Yuxiao Pavilion's name after the third round." Down. Why, Qin Qing, should you be jealous?"

Qin Qing pursed her red lips amusedly. She was just about to open her mouth to sarcastically say a few more words about the trembling Luo Tongqin, but before she could make a sound, she heard an angry male voice from beside her——

"I disagree!"

"Crackling——" After a sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground, the sullen-looking young man stood up with a sullen face.All the people present turned to look at the person who suddenly spoke, while Lynch gritted his teeth and stared at the thin card in the host's hand on the stage, until the little girl took a step back.

After a few dry coughs, the host kept a professional smile and asked, "Sir, do you think there is something wrong?"

The voting result of the tasting conference is a complete referendum. If anyone present has doubts about the result, they can directly stand up and ask the jury.Although this regulation has been in place since the first session of the Tasting Conference, no one has ever raised any objections, which is considered to be the first time in history.

Lin Qi turned his head to look at Luo Wen and Li Yunshu angrily. The former was confused and bewildered, while the latter looked at him with a smile, as if he was not surprised by his actions at all.

"I think that jar of Junshan Silver Needle is not eligible for No.1 at all! Its results must be forged!"

Lynch's word-for-word words resounded in the entire hall, and there was an uproar at the scene.

Falsified grades, here means bribery.

Most of the exhibitors present are businessmen. It is extremely difficult to bribe exhibitors, but it is much easier to bribe public judges.There are only 53 cans of tea in the exhibition. If you are interested, it is extremely easy to find your own tea.

However, falsified grades are tantamount to a death sentence for a tea merchant.If a tea merchant bribes the judges in this kind of formal competition, he will be unanimously excluded in the circle, and he will never even think about raising his head.

Faced with such doubts, the host couldn't help but become serious.The staff at the scene began to count the specific votes at the backstage, and the host replied seriously: "Sir, no matter whether your question is correct or not, we have arranged for someone to count the specific votes, and we will see you soon." Announce." After a pause, the hostess said again: "Now, please explain your point of view to the jury, and let the jury judge fairly."

Lynch nodded, before he could speak, he heard a heroic female voice: "Mr. Lin, what are you trying to do?"

Her delicate eyebrows were frowned, and Qin Qing couldn't help but stood up and asked in a low voice.

Lynch is a guest invited by Yapinlou, and his words and deeds represent the official meaning of Yapinlou.Although in city b, Yuxiao Pavilion and Yapin Building are in a competitive relationship, and Luo Wen and Qin Qing's relationship is not very good on the surface, but whether it is their friendship from childhood, or they are both tea merchants in city b, they must be consistent Qin Qing couldn't support Lin Qi's current actions due to his external position.

"Boss Qin, I know your concerns, don't worry, I won't relate this matter to Yapin Building."

Qin Qing raised his eyes in doubt, and before he could speak, he heard Lin Qi say loudly: "Everyone, I am Lin Qi, a disciple of Master Gao Qiuming of the Huaxia Tea Ceremony Association, hereby, as a probationary member of the Tea Ceremony Association of H Province, I propose to the jury doubt."

Lynch's words cleared up the relationship between Yapin Building and himself, but... once again raised the banner of his teacher.Originally, the four industry masters in the jury hadn't paid much attention to Lynch, but when they heard the name "Gao Qiuming", they couldn't help but lifted their spirits. Even Master Huang looked at Lynch a few more times.

Lin Qi proudly puffed up his chest, and said under the eyes of everyone: "The serial number of this jar of Junshan silver needles is No. 48, and I have tasted it before. Indeed, this jar of silver needles can be regarded as high-quality. It is first-class in other aspects, but if it is placed in our current tasting conference, I personally think that the can of Junshan Silver Needle that I sent to the selection, that is, the can of No.3, can be better than it .”

The crowd suddenly started chattering, and from time to time some people commented on things like "So this person is a disciple of Master Gao", "I didn't expect him to be No.3".

Lynch, on the other hand, enjoyed the attention of everyone. He looked at the old man sitting in the middle of the judging panel, and said righteously: "Master Huang, you enjoy a high reputation in the industry, and I often hear the teacher talk about you. Be upright and upright, resolute and upright. Please uphold justice and truly give everyone fairness!"

"Yes, yes, how can someone engage in petty tricks!"

"That's right, Master Huang, please give everyone fairness!"

……

All kinds of voices began to appear, and Luo Wen's face turned red with anger, but now it seemed that this "disciple of Master Gao" had the upper hand, and he couldn't tell even if he was suffering.

How hilarious!

If they, Yuxiaoge, could bribe the judges, why would they need to work overtime to select tea leaves?

Even assuming, assuming that they can really bribe the judges and successfully find their own tea, would Luo Wen be so stupid as to vote himself No. 1 and become everyone's pick?

But in this wave of condemnation, which was higher than the previous wave, Luo Wen was so embarrassed that he couldn't even speak clearly, but Qin Qing wanted to clear up the relationship with Lynch and couldn't intervene, so he could only watch and couldn't help.

What Luo Wen didn't expect was that in such a tense situation, the young man he had always thought was gentle and humble stood up from his seat, instead of continuing to sit behind him, he walked in front of Lynch, He asked in a sharp tone: "Mr. Lin, although I don't know why you have repeatedly targeted us at Yuxiao Pavilion in this tasting conference, but your remarks have already damaged our reputation. careful."

Li Yunshu's words were neither humble nor overbearing. Although his body was not as strong as Lynch's, his height of a few centimeters allowed him to slightly look down at the other party, and he was born with a sense of oppression.

Lynch felt his throat was a little dry, he swallowed, then immediately avoided Li Yunshu's direct and fearless gaze, turned his head to look in the direction of the jury: "Huang...Master Huang, don't be misled by his words , I didn't mean to target them deliberately, I was just talking about the facts."

Hearing this, Li Yunshu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "Mr. Lin, when you were in Yongxiang Hall, many people should have seen you intentionally insulting the tea leaves in our Yuxiao Pavilion. There must be many people present for this incident Does everyone still have an impression?"

"Oh yes, it seemed that this person was saying that a can of Junshan Yinzhen was not top-grade."

"Yes, I also remember, it seems to be these two people."

……

It is extremely easy for public opinion to be led away. Mr. Li is now overwhelmed by Lin Qi with full aura, and everyone can't help but think in the direction he leads, and they are no longer simply misled by Lynch.

Lynch clenched his teeth angrily. Looking at the young man's calm expression, the anger in his heart burned even more vigorously.Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of something, snorted coldly again, and said, "Speaking of which, I just want to ask Mr. Huo from the jury, who did you vote for? You voted for Yuxiao Pavilion, right? Am I right?"

The handsome and elegant man was looking up at the situation here, with no intention of participating in it.But suddenly the topic was brought up to him, Huo Zheng no longer planned to remain silent.

He didn't say anything because he didn't want to get involved with Yu Xiaoge and cause trouble for Li Yunshu, but since the matter had developed to this point, he would inevitably have to make some responses.

Huo Zheng closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then replied calmly: "Although I don't have the obligation to tell you who I voted for, I don't mind telling you bluntly at this time..."

Huo Zheng raised his eyes to look at Lynch, the man's sharp and cold gaze poured down Lynch's head like a bucket of ice water, making him feel a chill from his bones.Lynch subconsciously felt something was wrong, but before he had time to react, he heard a deep and magnetic male voice resounding throughout the hall:

"I voted for Huang Lao."

Those eight short words suddenly turned the situation around and confused everyone present.

What do you mean... voted for Master Huang?

Huo Zheng explained calmly and calmly: "Although I was honored to be invited to be a member of the jury, I am a novice in tea and cannot taste the participating teas present, so I handed over all my tickets to the jury." Mr. Huang, let him make a fair choice for me." After a pause, Huo Zheng's thin lips slightly curled up: "I trust Mr. Huang."

Lin Qi shouted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! You clearly voted for Yuxiaoge! You're just arguing!"

Huo Zheng was not annoyed when he heard the words, and asked: "Mr. Lin, are you questioning my words?" Huo Zheng's tone seemed flat, but there was no expression on that profound and handsome face, and he bluntly expressed His displeasure.

"You..." Lynch took a step back subconsciously, but when he saw the staff handing a card to the host lady, he said excitedly: "Is the result of the counting out? Isn't it?" The counting results came out?!"

Such a tense situation made the poor hostess reach out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and her little face was flushed with anxiety.She nodded and said: "Yes, our staff has just counted the specific number of votes, and we can announce it publicly now."

Lynch was overjoyed immediately: "Did Mr. Huo vote for Yuxiao Pavilion?"

Before the little girl from the host could answer, the handsome and elegant Mr. Huo said "Oh" in surprise, then turned his head to look at the stage, and asked, "So... have all my votes been for Yu Xiao Pavilion? ?” His dark eyes were deep and bottomless, making it hard to see his emotions, but Huo Zheng's blank expression seemed to be silently declaring the fact that "I really don't know".

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, the hostess, who had faced thousands of people, felt Shanda’s Yali for the first time.

Poor little host girl: Hey, hey, I'm not going to host next year...

"It must have been voted for Yuxiao Pavilion, I know, right!"

Over there, Lynch was still aggressive and refused to give up, so the hostess could only look at the card in her hand and replied: "The statistics show that the Junshan Silver Needle in No. 48 Yuxiao Pavilion won a total of 59 votes, of which , 15 votes came from exhibitors, 24 votes came from 50 public judges, and 10 votes came from Mr. Huo..."

"It really is you! This is cheating!"

Miss host: qaq, listen to me, dear!

I don't know if he understood the host's complaints, or felt that this little girl was really tossed too badly by Lynch. Mr. Li, who had been silent for a long time, looked at the stage with a smile, and said in a peaceful voice: "It seems that there is still a lot of trouble. The number of votes has not been announced, Miss Host, please continue."

Lynch sneered and said, "What is there to continue? It's your Yuxiao Pavilion..."

"There are still 10 votes from Master Huang."

"It's you Yuxiao Pavilion who went through the back door and cheated... Eh? Master Huang?!"

Lynch looked at the host in horror, who kept nodding at him, proving that he heard correctly.

On the judging panel, the old man who silently watched the whole farce finally stood up. He picked up the celadon teacup on the table and slapped it hard, saying coldly:

"The vote was cast by the old man. The old man's own 10 votes, and Mr. Huo's 10 votes."
