Chapter 540: From Leaves to Tea

Planting in the morning and reading in the morning, Xu Guangling can be regarded as responding to the ancient word "ploughing and reading".

There is no lunch at noon, Xu Guangling prepares two meals a day for the two old people, breakfast and dinner, breakfast is about eight or nine o'clock, and dinner is about four or five o'clock, which is also in line with the work and rest of the two old people.

Three meals a day is a habit, not a matter of course.

What is a reasonable diet?

It can only be said that there is no definite number.

Different physical conditions, different lifestyles, and the required diet should of course be different.

If the physical consumption is large, eat more rice grains, if the mental consumption is large, eat more fish and meat, and if the consumption of both is not large, eat more vegetables and vegetables, and rely on the light side, and so on.

This is the type of diet, and the time to eat, of course, also needs to be in line with the rhythm of life.

Xu Guangling is now very arbitrary, he can eat one meal a day, or one meal for two or three days, or even one meal for ten days and a half months, but at this stage, he is normally one meal for two to three days, and what he eats, that is, drinking some juice, etc., to supplement the trace elements needed by the body's metabolism or something.

As for the supplement in terms of energy consumption, it is basically not needed.

There is the breath of the earth and mountains, as well as the sunshine, or the sun, moon and stars, and the sum of these two is enough.

At noon, the two elderly people will sleep for about two hours to recover the mental exhaustion of the first half of the day, mainly to allow the body to better complete the metabolism.

Xu Guangling doesn't need it.

He began his second tour of the day, observing and recording the growth of the plants and trees that had been planted one after another, as well as the changes in the two qi throughout the area.

After another walk, it was afternoon.

In the afternoon, Xu Guangling had no specific arrangements, it was arbitrary, but this did not mean that he was idle, in fact, there were too many things for him to learn and think about and analyze, so many that they were all complicated.

The achievement of knowledge is the main project.

Around this project, Xu Guangling peeled off the cocoon and established many, many sub-projects. - Qinghua Baozhen only gave him a goal, but this goal was too high and too far, too ethereal and too invisible, and he needed to lock the range step by step, and then build stones as ladders little by little, and move closer to it.

There is no such thing as a one-time success.

Xu Guangling had already been mentally prepared to fight a protracted war.

Mr. Zhang has been trying to make tea these days.

At first, it was mulberry leaves, and later it was lotus leaves, and when the two crude products were put together and tasted a little, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen, and even the big guys who were invited to taste together, they all abandoned mulberry leaves and turned their eyes to lotus leaves.

It's not that the mulberry leaves are bad, it's true, the lotus leaves are too good!

Slightly bitter, slightly astringent, slightly fragrant, slightly sweet...... Everything is micro, but when a lot of "micro" gathers together, I don't know how, a sip of lotus leaf tea goes down, and the whole heart is permeable.

It can only be said that it is wonderful.

So, Mr. Zhang began to concentrate on making lotus leaf tea.

But with this concentration, the problem comes, and the problem is also big.

Crude and refined, the requirements are not the same.

Before, Mr. Zhang was simply baked, and the lotus leaves picked from the pond did not even need to be washed, but were directly dried in the sun, and then put them in a cauldron to dry them slightly.

And now, when refining, Mr. Zhang found that every process he operated, whether it was drying or baking, actually destroyed the taste of lotus leaves.

To put it simply, the tea he makes is, in many ways, not even as good as fresh lotus leaves!

This made the old man quite frustrated and puzzled.

Mr. Chen joined in, using his experience in winemaking and various miscellaneous knowledge to help his old friend in various experiments.

Pluck.

Picking with dew in the early morning, picking in the scorching sun at noon, and picking in the evening under the sunset.

Cleaning.

Do not rinse directly into the next step, simply rinse in the mountain stream, soak in the pond for half an hour, half a day, overnight, etc.

Baking.

Bask in the sun, fry in a large pot, steam in a steamer, and burn the lid of the pot.

......

In this way, all kinds of combinations, the complexity and changeability of the process make Xu Guangling and the big guy simply breathtaking.

However.

Well, however, it didn't change much.

Tossing and turning, exhausting himself, and exhausting all means, he is still the same broken state.

"Boy, you come over to me!" Deeply feeling that his knowledge had been challenged, that his experience had become waste, and that his body and mind had been hit, Mr. Chen shouted angrily to Xu Guangling, who had always been watching.

"Old Chen, what's wrong?" Xu Guangling said cutely.

"Boy, tell me, what's going on?" Mr. Chen turned his shame and anger into anger, "What's the matter with this lotus leaf of yours? This is completely unreasonable! This is not scientific at all!"

"Scientists believe in God with a scientific mindset, and the ignorant believe in science with an ignorant mind. Xu Guangling smiled calmly, "Old Chen, isn't this what you said?"

"Boy, do you mean the old man is ignorant?" Mr. Chen laughed angrily.

"You are very knowledgeable, but this lotus leaf in front of you, it's not new, and it's normal to break through some conventional boundaries, so you and the teacher are challenged to treat it with conventional means. Xu Guangling said.

Mr. Zhang and the big guy who was also present at the moment were stunned.

After Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, he said, "Then what do you say you should do?"

"This lotus leaf is very picky about light and heat. Xu Guangling said, "I only know these two points, but I don't know how to make it into lotus leaf tea perfectly." ”

Xu Guangling spread his hands.

So the question was left to the two old men.

But with Xu Guangling's prompt, the situation is different, and they have a new direction and breakthrough.

Within two days, a large amount of special glass and thermometers were brought up the mountain.

All sorts of small glass houses were built.

"This is the red light room, and only red light can penetrate here. Mr. Zhang introduced Xu Guangling, "This is the blue light room. ”

"We start with a single light and then combine it with baking. ”

Xu Guangling nodded, and then said with a smile: "Teacher, I will wait for your results." You might as well explore and experiment more carefully, and all tea leaves in the future should need this set of procedures. ”

Mr. Zhang also nodded.

Mr. Chen hummed proudly: "Boy, wait and see, there is no difficulty in making tea for the old man and the two of them." ”

"Old Chen is mighty!" Xu Guangling arched his hand.

That's not a big deal.

With Xu Guangling's key point, if this problem cannot be solved, it will be in vain for a generation of major sects, and it is still two major sects combined.

A few days later, a cup of brewed lotus leaf tea was placed in front of Xu Guangling.

"Humble words, you can taste it, and see what kind of improvement needs to be made?" said Mr. Zhang.

Xu Guangling hadn't tasted it yet, just smelled it, and felt that he could nod, but he still picked it up, took a sip, and then said, "Teacher, Old Chen, you have succeeded." ”

"This tea, I give it 80 points. ”

"Overall, there is basically no problem, and in terms of details, if you take a closer look, it's almost the same. ”

"Boy, only 80 points?" Mr. Chen looked like you were teasing me.

"Old Chen, you are professional, but I am the standard. Xu Guangling said.

"Cut!"

After the cut, the two old men continued to work diligently, and in terms of details, repeated trials and attention.
