040. Big big people

Shinjuku Gyoen Garden was originally a holy place to enjoy cherry blossoms. At this time, dark green tea mats were arranged under the withered cherry blossom trees, with tourists coming and warm winds.

The wind suddenly rose, the petals were on the couch, and the people under the cherry trees exclaimed bursts of exclamations, and the picture was spectacular.

In front of the cherry blossom table, the curtains with tea ripples were drooping down, and Qian Linya and others came in one after another, just like the generals sitting in a large tent during the Warring States Period, sitting in front of the screen.

Kurabashi spent a lot of money this time, including the site layout, site rental fees, and the vast number of staff present... the total investment will not be less than million yen. In comparison, Qian Linya's appearance fee is only considered a drizzle.

At the same time, he found that he had underestimated the enthusiasm of the Tokyo people for tea ceremony. He thought it was just a matter of losing money to gain publicity, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to watch the tea. The old, the young, the family traveling, the couple dating... The crowds of people were crowded with open spaces.

For people of all classes and ages, art of elegance is a necessity. Qianlinya has developed this new experience.

Then, a black high-end car drove directly into the park and stopped by the bridge. Some staff from Cangqiao immediately ran over.

I thought these staff were going to persuade them to leave, but unexpectedly, after a while, the staff ran back with some parts and actually set up a tent on the tea mat in the middle of the open space.

The white gauze tent was quickly put up, and a group of men and women got out of the black car and walked towards the venue under the umbrella held by the black bodyguards around. People along the way made way and then got into the gauze tent.

Qian Linya was dumbfounded.

Ishida Ichibashi next to him came over and said, "It seems that a big shot is here."

"Big man?" Qian Linya was holding a wooden box in his arms with a tea bowl, and his expression looked very dumb. "What a big man?"

He doesn't believe it if he is a very big figure. Can a big figure come to see a group of tea house owners for a meeting? It's a little bit possible to get his appearance and come to chase stars.

"I heard that the energy behind Kurabashi is quite large," Ishida Ichihashi said in a low voice. "It's hard to say how big the business can be done so big, how big the people behind are."

Qian Linya lowered his head and found that Ishida's hands were shaking a little. It is normal to tremble. With so many audiences, it is very likely that a mistake will be made and the reputation accumulated in half a lifetime will be ruined. He looked to the side and found that four "tea ceremony experts" looked a little nervous.

It is said that moderate anxiety can promote the secretion of adrenaline, improve concentration and reaction ability, but Qian Linya can't get nervous even if he wants to. The wind blows the fragrance of flowers, and he is a little sleepy.

After those "big people" entered the gauze tent, it seemed like a signal, and the host next to him made a sound in the microphone.

"Welcome to the late spring tea party held by Kurabashi Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Shinjuku Oyuan. Kurabashi, the best space consultant around you..."

After reading out a long list of advertisements and thank-you list in one breath, the host said a few more jokes, which made everyone laugh, and then he began to get to the point.

"So, please allow me to introduce several special tea ceremony experts invited to this wild tea party."

Kurahashi originally planned to remove the word "special" in "tea ceremony specialist" and directly invite real "tea ceremony masters". However, he didn't expect that no one in the serious tea ceremony world could appreciate this, which created the title "tea ceremony specialist" that sounds very high-end but is actually helpless.

The host then introduced: "First of all, Mr. Kobe Akatsuki from Jijifang. Mr. Kobe has been immersed in tea ceremony for more than 30 years and is a master of tea ceremony. In addition to countless tea lovers, he is not only a master in the tea ceremony, but also an ambassador to spread tea ceremony culture."

Applause came from below. Kobe Akatsuki stood up with a serious expression with a grey hair on his face and bowed to all parties.

"Then it was Ikeda Ikeda Ikeda from Sanshui Tea House. Ikeda is not only an expert in tea ceremony, but also a genius in the business world. In just ten years, it expanded the entertainment scope of Sanshui Tea House to the entire Tokyo. His tea ceremony was also widely popular among citizens, and it can be said that it was in full swing."

Ikeda Ikeda stood up and bowed with a smile. Strictly speaking, the host's introduction just now was exaggerated. But he did not show any flattery or timid expression. Instead, he was full of confidence and was considered a character.

"Then next comes Mr. Hiraaka Atsushi from Yixin Tea House. Mr. Hiraaka's tea ceremony is as friendly as he himself, and it is infectious, which touched many people."

Ping Zhongdun got up honestly and greeted him, just like the uncle selling fish next door, he was indeed quite friendly.

"Next is Ishida Ichihashi from Maki Tea House. His enthusiasm and perseverance for tea ceremony are touching. He has persisted in putting his energy into the tea ceremony career and has become an emerging elite and mainstay in the tea ceremony industry."

Ishida Ichihashi stood up and bowed conservatively, looking a little nervous.

“接下来,就是本场的最后一位老师,千临涯老师!”

The host pointed at Qian Linya and made an introduction statement. There were crowds of spectators on the audience. Someone had noticed this young handsome guy, covered his mouth and talked about him endlessly. At this time, he even turned his gaze on Qian Linya's face unscrupulously.

On the other side of the bridge, Misaki Misaki, wearing a bathrobe, held the hand of a primary school girl who looked less than 10 years old, and was staggering towards the venue, looking for empty tea tables.

She saw Qian Linya sitting above her at a glance, and reached out to say hello to him.

The host's voice rang again: "Huh? Do you think this 'expert' is too young? I'll reveal it to you that he is only 18 years old this year."

The discussion below became even louder. Qian Linya was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he had been added to one year of vain, but he had no say now.

"Let me tell you. This is the direct descendant of the famous tea saint Chilikyu and the inheritor of the tea ceremony of the Zongqian family. Teacher Qian has the inheritance of the tea ceremony for hundreds of years. Although he is young, he has a bright future. Teacher Qian, please say hello."

Qian Linya smiled with an entrepreneurial smile and stood up and bowed slowly to the audience. At this time, the applause from the audience also rang out in time. Some young women stared at him without any scruples.

The host's introduction sorting is based on age, which makes the youngest Qianlinya the finale.

After introducing the guests, the host asked the staff to provide snacks and clear water to the people who came to watch the tea in turn, and revealed that there were small gifts later. This vulgar method was quite useful to keep guests. The gauze tent with the strongest presence in the venue was constantly passing by with bodyguards in black, and they gave them all kinds of food and drinks that looked amazing, so they must not care about any gifts.
