I became popular after the live broadcast of raising cubs deep in the mountains

Ichiro Nomura made soup and ordered tea by himself.

After ordering a cup of tea under the attention of everyone, he handed the ordered matcha to the temple host and presented it to the Buddha. After paying homage to the Buddha, Nomura Ichiro passed the ordered second cup of tea to Ye Zhen.

Nomura Ichiro has stopped ordering tea himself in recent years, so it is naturally a great honor to drink his tea.

The onlookers outside the tea banquet area craned their necks to pay attention to Ye Zhen's expression while drinking tea, hoping to guess the taste of the cup of tea from her expression.

Ye Zhen took the tea bowl with both hands, followed the Japanese tea ceremony etiquette and turned the tea bowl twice before raising the bowl to appreciate the color of the tea soup.

There is a thick layer of fresh white foam floating on the surface of the bowl of tea soup, like clouds condensing, and you bite the lid tightly.

After a long time, the tea color developed, the clouds in the tea bowl steamed, and the milky white soup flowers faded, like a fairy mountain and sea of ​​clouds.

Such beauty amazed Ye Zhen.

Finally, Ye Zhen held the tea bowl with both hands and began to slowly sip the bowl of matcha.

Tea drinkers, people are among the grass and trees.

Although matcha and Chinese tea have very different tastes, what they have in common is that they can make people feel one with nature in just one mouthful.

After taking a sip of tea, Ye Zhen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, feeling like she was standing on an empty mountain after the new rain.

Compared with Nomura Shinji's cup of tea, Nomura Ichiro's tea is lighter and more elegant, and every sip is a real sip of beauty.

After tasting Nomura Ichiro's tea order, Ye Zhen's snow tea has been spread to every tea master amid the continuous Buddhist singing.

Under the leadership of Ichiro Nomura, everyone raised their glasses to smell the aroma and tasted the tea amidst the "tsk tsk" sound of admiration.

After a cup of tea was slowly finished, everyone began to comment on the aroma and color of the tea.

After tasting the tea, everyone discussed the Buddha's Sutra and talked about friendship.

After the tea banquet was over, Ichiro Nomura had someone bring him pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and he wrote a piece of Chinese calligraphy for Ye Zhen:
I just feel the cool breeze blowing in my armpits.

In the next few hours, the photo of Ye Zhen holding a banner with Nomura Ichiro quickly made the headlines on Yahoo Japan.

Photos and videos of her making tea were also trending on Japanese Twitter, and Japanese netizens dubbed her "Chinese beautiful tea master" because of her facial appearance.

Under the warm invitation of major Japanese media, Ye Zhen, who was originally scheduled to return home the next day, had to stay in Kyoto for a few more days.

The intensive visits overwhelmed Ye Zhen. If it weren't for the idea of ​​spreading Chinese tea culture, she would have wanted to fly back to China immediately.

But after being "hot" in domestic media searches for several days, it seems that she may not be able to escape cleanly when she returns to China.

Xia Meng said that she and Qian Bin had helped her accept interview invitations from more than ten mainstream media outlets selected from the [-]s and [-]s. The live broadcast room was so crowded with tea fans and tea addicts from all over the country that it was delayed. There are those who ask for tea, those who fight for tea in the afternoon, and those who come to worship the "goddess" and make pilgrimages to the tea mountain.

On the day of returning home, Ye Zhen and Duan Guolin went to Xing'an early to say goodbye to Nomura Ichiro.Although she only had a close relationship with Nomura Ichiro, Ye Zhen still had full admiration for this master.

When saying goodbye in the tea room, Nomura Ichiro looked at her lovingly and ordered someone to go to the water house to take out a "tortoise leather Tenmu" bamboo hat bowl and give it to her.

The tortoise-skin Tianmu is a masterpiece from Jizhou kiln in the Song Dynasty. The bowl has tortoise-shells that are as beautiful as clouds. It is a very rare treasure.

Ye Zhen couldn't accept such a great gift and said softly: "Mr. Nomura, I haven't done anything to accept such a precious gift."

Nomura Ichiro smiled slightly, looked at the tea sets on the tea banquet and said: "This precious tortoise leather celestial eye comes from China. Except for it, all the wind stoves and tea cages you see are from China."

"Japan has been favored by Chinese culture, and there is no way to end this favor. Therefore, we should coexist peacefully, not only between China and Japan, but also the entire world should maintain peace and stability. This pursuit is also the highest pursuit of tea ceremony .”

"All of this should not just be talked about with words, but we need to practice it and convey it through tea. Therefore, please accept this Third Eye Bowl, and please be sure not to be burdened by it."

After hearing these words, both Ye Zhen and Duan Guolin were moved. They accepted the tortoise-skin third eye and bowed ninety degrees to bid farewell to the master with the highest salute.

Maybe this time of separation is the separation of smoke and water forever.

After becoming famous overnight, Ye Zhen was inundated with various media interviews, conferences and cultural exchanges as soon as she returned to China.

The schedule was so full that as soon as she got off the plane and before she had time to report to her family that she was safe, she was picked up by a nanny car from a TV station in Shanghai and taken to the studio.

"As the youngest tea master representing China in this tea competition, how do you feel about it?
Under the bright light of the studio, the female host asked questions in a clear and pure voice.

Ye Zhen has never been afraid of the camera. She replied calmly: "The Japanese tea ceremony originated from the Song Dynasty of my country. The wind stoves, tea cages, etc. that you can see are all from China. Their tea ceremony is more elegant. , and our country’s tea ceremony is an invisible way, bringing tea to thousands of households. As a tea person, I sincerely hope that our tea can also be revived and become an indispensable part of people’s lives.”

The host and Ye Zhen chatted about tea culture for a while, and then the conversation entered another part: "How is your life after becoming famous? Do you feel that your life has changed a lot?"

To be honest, Ye Zhen does not enjoy the so-called popularity. She was forced to open the live broadcast room due to family financial constraints.

After going through so many reincarnations, she enjoys quietness and solitude, but she is always pushed to move forward. Now this kind of life like a movie star makes her physically and mentally exhausted.

But the patience of all this is of great significance. Regardless of YN, the price of snow tea has also risen sharply, and it is hard to buy for a lot of money. People have begun to pay attention to tea culture because of their attention to her.

"Actually, I still feel in a trance at this time. I know clearly but also don't know what I did to have the opportunity to sit here and chat with everyone. There are changes in life, but I think I will embrace the current life calmly , continue to inherit and innovate skills."

"Do you think that this widespread attention has something to do with your status as a "post-90s generation" and your beautiful appearance?Do you mind if people pay attention to your tea because of your appearance? "

Ye Zhen smiled politely: "No matter what the reason is, I am very grateful for everyone's attention to me. I am also very happy that I can open a door for everyone, so that more people can see the new generation's appreciation of traditional culture. Historical inheritance.”

“But I hope that more and more craftsmen will be treated gently by everyone, so that their spirit of ‘choose one thing and live a lifetime’ can infect more people.”

Because the live broadcast room is the closest channel to get in touch with Ye Zhen, after the popularity of the Japanese network, the number of fans in the live broadcast room is close to 2000 million, and even many foreign netizens come here.

There were also many foreign languages ​​​​in the barrage, or foreigner-style Chinese, which made many netizens laugh.
