Chapter 693 Beautiful Smile
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 everyoneās impression, they subconsciously thought that this kind of supreme tea master should be an old man, but they didnāt 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, āMr. Qin, since I saw your tea ceremony last time, Iāve made great progress in my skills. I barely reached Small Completion of Pervading Fragrance.ā
āCan you give me some advice so that everyone can see what the real Pervading Fragrance is.ā
Before Qin Haodong could respond, Ye Qing pinched his waist and shouted, āYou 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?ā
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 couldnāt wait to be the one standing next to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong said with a wry smile, āSister, I donāt usually have time.ā
Ye Qing cried, āThen let me drink it now. I donāt believe that the tea you made is better than the tea made by the Tea Fairy!ā
The Tea Fairy hurriedly said, āYou must be joking. How can the tea I make compare with Mr. Qinās?ā
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 Haodongās way of making tea was too simple. It was no different from making tea at home. He didnāt 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, itās 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, āOkay, let everyone try it.ā
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, āIt seems that your tea is not as good as mine.ā
The Tea Fairy hurriedly said, āSister, Mr. Qinās tea making technique has reached the level of being clumsy and returning to the original state. Please donāt misunderstand.ā
Ye Qing said, āDidnāt you say that you have reached the realm of Pervading Fragrance? Why is there no fragrance at all?ā
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.
āIt smells so good. It smells so good. Iāve lived for more than half of my life, but Iāve never smelled such a strong tea fragranceā¦ā
āWhat kind of fragrance is this? It smells so good. It seems that my cold has become much betterā¦ā
āWhere did this fragrance come from? It seems to be from the Jingdong Teahouse. Iām going to try this good tea. It smells so goodā¦ā
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 couldnāt 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 Yanranās 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, āThis tea is too delicious. Do you have any more? Hurry and pour me another cup of tea.ā
As she spoke, she grabbed the teapot from Qin Haodongās hand and poured the rest of the tea into her cup. However, she still felt as if she did not have enough.
Hua Mingrui put down the teacup in her hand, turned her head and said, āYouāve seen it, havenāt you? This is the real Pervading Fragrance. Compared with Mr. Qin, my tea ceremony can only be regarded as a trifling skill.ā
The guests were so excited that they kept nodding their heads after hearing what she said. Their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Qin Haodong.
At this moment, Qin Zhong had quietly slipped out of the teahouse. He thought that since Qin Haodong had reached the level nine of Supreme Power Realm at such a young age, he must have spent all his time on Martial Arts.
But he didnāt expect that he was also a supreme master in the art of teamaking. Even the Tea Fairy was inferior to him. He had just provoked such a person. In contrast, he was like a clown.
He couldnāt help sighing in his heart. They were both descendants of the Qin family, but why was there such a big gap between them?
In the hall, many guests could smell the fragrance, but they did not get to taste this kind of best tea, so they felt a little dissatisfied in their hearts.
A young guest cried, āMr. Qin, can I pay 100,000 yuan to buy this pot of tea?ā
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone shouted, āThis is a good tea of Pervading Fragrance. Itās the top of the tea ceremony. 100,000 yuan is not enough. Iāll pay 500,000 yuan.ā
āIāll pay you one million yuan, Mr. Qin. As long as you make me a pot of tea, Iāll immediately transfer one million yuan to your accountā¦ā
āIāll pay two millionā¦ā
āIāll pay two millionā¦ā
In less than two minutes, Qin Haodongās pot of tea had actually risen to the price of 10 million yuan.
Even if he was president of Haodong Group and had a lot of money, Ye Qing still smacked her lips when she heard the offer of 10 million yuan for a pot of tea. Didnāt that mean that she had drunk 3 million yuan worth of tea just now?
Qin Haodong waved his hand to the people under the stage and said, āIām sorry, everyone. My tea is only for those closest to me. It is not for sale, no matter how much you are willing to pay.ā
Hearing that Qin Haodong would not sell it no matter how much it cost, a collective sigh came from the crowd.
At this time, Hua Mingrui said, āLetās end the party. Please leave now.ā
Although the guests were full of regret, the Tea Fairy had already asked them to leave, so they could only leave with regret.
All of a sudden, the hall quieted down, leaving only Qin Haodong and the three of them.
By this time, Wei Yanran was totally smitten. Just now, Qin Haodong had said that his tea was only made for the people closest to him and she had drunk a cup of tea. Didnāt that mean that she was also the closest person to him?
Hua Mingrui turned around and said to Qin Haodong, āMr. Qin, I want to ask you why I canāt make good tea like this, no matter how hard I try.ā
āMiss Hua, weāre all friends. Thereās no need to be so polite.ā
Thinking of the title of Miss Hua, Qin Haodong couldnāt help but smile. He felt that it wasnāt appropriate. He quickly said, āIn the way of tea ceremony, at first, it was about skills, but in the end, it is about the state of mind.
āIf a person merely stays at home and has not experienced the vicissitudes of the world, it was absolutely impossible for him to make the best tea. Only when he has experienced more and is in a good frame of mind, would he be able to reach the highest level of the tea ceremony.ā
āWhat you lack now is not your skills, but your state of mind. As long as your state of mind has reached a certain level, you will naturally be able to make your way out of the Pervading Fragrance.ā
After hearing these words, Hua Mingrui was suddenly enlightened. She finally knew what she was lacking in, but soon a little doubt arose in her heart.
The young man in front of him seemed to be a little younger than her. How did he manage to cultivate his mental state? Could it be that he had gone through many things?
At this moment, she suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of her clothes. She turned her head and saw that it was Wei Yanran standing behind her and her delicate cheeks were full of shyness.
They grew up together, so she naturally knew what her best friend was thinking. She said to Qin Haodong, āMr. Qin, let me introduce this lady to you. This is my best friend, Wei Yanran.ā
āMr. Qin, Hello. My name is Yanran.ā
With Hua Mingruiās introduction, Wei Yanran restrained the shyness in her heart and took the initiative to say hello.
Qin Haodong said, āIāve heard of Miss Weiās name a long time ago. You are so charming. I did not expect to see you today.ā
Wei Yanran said, āMr. Qin, you must be joking. Have you really heard of my name?ā
āOf course. Miss Wei is one of the three most beautiful women in the capital. How could I not have heard of you?ā
Seeing that her lover had heard of her name, Wei Yanranās heart was filled with joy, as if she had honey flowing through her veins.
Previously, she had fallen in love with Qin Haodong through Hua Mingruiās story. Today, she could not stop looking at Qin Haodong when she saw him. However, when she thought of the marriage arranged by her family, she couldnāt help but look sad.
Hua Mingrui said, āMr. Qin, this is not a good place to talk. Please take a seat in my room.ā
After that, she walked ahead and led Qin Haodong and Ye Qing out of the hall to her room.
After entering the house, Qin Haodong saw the Plum Blossom Painting on the wall. At first, he was slightly stunned and then he smiled. He had just casually painted it, and it meant nothing at all to him. He did not expect that it would be hung here by Hua Mingrui.
After sitting down, Wei Yanran said, āMr. Qin, Iāve been fond of painting ever since I was a child. Iāve heard Mingrui say that youāre good at painting. Iām honored to see you today. Could you please paint something for me?ā
