002. Ming holding the real step

In the early summer, the wind suddenly blew. Kobori Toyama stood five steps before Qianlinya. Yuan was shaking Yuezhi, Jiayuan's robe moved with the wind, and his fists slowly clenched.

"We finally met, Zhao Youzhai." A smile came out of the corner of Kobori Toyama's mouth.

"Oh, hello."

Seeing that Chi Linya did not act like a big enemy, Kobori Toyama was a little dissatisfied and said in a low voice: "The one standing in front of you is Oribe Ruru's youngest master. Kobori Yokomoto, who was promoted to the sect of the age of 30, and once presented tea to the American Foreign Minister, Do you know me?"

Qian Linya said: "I only know Kobori Far Mountain, not those other people."

"Idiots! Those are my titles! Titles!" Kobori roared, then waved his hand, "Why are you standing there? Let me do things!"

His men in suits and ties seemed to be on a clockwork, and each ran according to their own movement trajectory.

Their movements were very quick. Some took out their notepads to make the records, some took out their walkie-talkies to schedule work, some went to the front and back of the courtyard to check the exterior, and some climbed into the temple to check the interior decoration of the tea room.

Some people even took out a tape measure and measured the squat distance used by Qian Linya’s family to wash their hands.

"What are they doing?" Qian Linya asked.

"Don't panic, Shinjuku Tea Party will conduct random inspections of tea people's tea room regularly," Kobori Toyama smiled, "Of course your tea room is included, Master Zhao Youzhai!"

Qian Linya wasn't worried that these people would take the opportunity to destroy it. He glanced at the staff member who was about to use a ruler to measure the stones of the dry mountains and rivers and said, "Do you need to do this?"

"The shape and appearance of each arrangement have strict rating standards, which directly determines the level of the tea room. Teacher Qian, don't underestimate what we do." Kobori Toyama smiled with his hands behind his back, not smiling.

Qian Linya complained in his heart that he created so many small rules and standards to increase his voice to you?

Kobori Toyama looked solemn and said, "I won't talk nonsense. Teacher Qian, if there is no accident, we expect the level of your tea room to be raised to 4 stars."

Although his words confirmed that what they did was a formality, Kobori Toyama's words still surprised Qian Linya: "Upgrade? Why should it be upgraded?"

Kobori Toyama took two steps on the road paved with his hands behind his back: "Then I will be very kind and reveal some news in advance. Teacher Qian, the editorial board decided to promote you to a senior tea person."

This news caught Qian Linya even more off guard.

"The editorial board saw your performance at the wild tea party. They unanimously agreed that you can inherit your father's legacy and promote you to the top of the board. I hope you will continue to work hard."

Toyama Kobori continued: "Since your tea man level has been improved, the tea room evaluation will naturally be improved. If there is no big problem, you should be able to get 4 stars... In other words, you are barely qualified to be my opponent."

Qian Linya ignored his second-year-old speech and asked, "How many stars are the stars in the star?"

“5 stars.”

After saying this, he refused to reveal anything more, which made Qian Linya a little confused.

After yesterday's conversation with Kikuchi Akana, he almost recognized Kobori Toyama as the boss of the next stage in his heart, but he did not expect that his first act was to report good news to himself.

Mari Kikuchi and Chimyoye changed into regular clothes and showed their heads from the door. After seeing this, Kobori Toyama waved enthusiastically: "Isn't that the daughter of Kikuchi's family? Long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Mari Kikuchi nodded: "Uncle Kobori, good morning."

Kobori Toyama looked at Mari Kikuchi, then looked at Chi Linya, nodded to himself, and said, "Kani Kikuchi Akana has been looking at the tea ceremony gate but can't enter. Unexpectedly, she used this method to get close to the tea circle, which was really unexpected."

Qian Linya was sweating. According to his implication, Mari Kikuchi's mother sacrificed her daughter's appearance to get close to her. Does the Sochi family really have such a big name? Kobori Toyama is too proud of the identity of the tea man!

But Mari Kikuchi didn't understand his words at all and was still nodding in a daze.

The staff of Shinjuku Tea Federation have completed their respective work. After the team was settled, one of them whispered to Kobori Toyama. Kobori Toyama put his hands behind his back and raised his head and said, "Teacher Chih, congratulations, your tea room has been qualified. When we go back, we will report to the editorial board to promote Wuwai'an to a 4-star tea room."

When Mari Kikuchi and Chimengye heard the news, they were both excited, but Chi Linya was more and more suspicious.

Sure enough, after saying the above sentence, Kobori immediately said: "For this, you must also assume the responsibility of the 4-star tea room owner and the senior tea man. On behalf of Shinjuku Tea Union, I will make two requests to you:"

"First, the tea room has accumulated a lot of reservations now. Within one month, all reservations must be cleared, otherwise the tea room star rating will be cancelled!"

"Secondly, the pricing of a single tea party is already lower than the standard of a 4-star tea room. The pricing must be increased by 40% on the current basis, otherwise the tea room star rating will be cancelled!"

The picture is revealed.

Qian Linya knew that there was no good thing about pie falling from the sky. Under the guise of improving the rating, this guy took retreat as he advanced, and was openly stolen, but he wanted to kill himself!

Qian Linya restrained his surging anger and said calmly: "Teacher Kobori, a clumsy person is a little talented and knowledgeable, and is not qualified to run a 4-star tea room. There are many places that are immature in Wuwai'an. I hope you won't improve your star rating for the time being."

Kobori Toyama turned his back and shook his sleeves: "How many generations of tea houses are created ingeniously? What kind of star should be? How can the tea house decide to advance and retreat by itself? If so, what is the difference between the tea house owner and the tea house owner?"

Qian Linya bowed and said, "You can't do the two conditions you put forward, so I voluntarily give up on improving my star rating."

A proud smile flashed across Kobori Toyama's face: "Teacher Qian, you have to think about it."

"I can't even do it whether it's clearing the reservation or increasing the selling price. This is an objective fact." Qian Linya said, "I even want to lower the selling price of a single tea party."

"So you are asked to think clearly," Kobori Toyama said, "There are only two ways to deal with tea people who do not implement the tea couple's resolution: one, suspend all tea people's level promotion, tea room star promotion process, temporarily cancel the tea people's level, and make rectification within a time limit; two, if the rectification is refused, expel the tea couple and deprive the tea couple of the identity of tea people!"

Seeing Qian Linya's stern face, Kobori Toyama pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? I seem to remember that Zong Qian family, but you are the only one Taoist priest left? If you are deprived of your identity as a tea person, then even if the Zong Qian family has cut off its inheritance, wouldn't it be removed from the history of the tea ceremony?"

Qian Mengye, who was standing by the door, shook her body, and Mari Kikuchi quickly supported her. Qian Linya waved her hand at her and told her not to worry.

But looking at Meng Ye’s appearance, it was obvious that it was not just a hurry. For her, the Zong Qian family cut off her inheritance was like a collapse of faith.
