"Whoa!"

Back in the small courtyard, Xia Jie, who was full of energy, naturally didn't go to sleep, and went to the kitchen to pull the dried tea leaves in the bamboo strips.

After a few days of natural withering, the tea has completely lost its luster at the moment, the leaf quality is very soft in the hand, the leaf stalk will not be broken when gently folded, and the leaf veins are transparent.

"Well, it's time to move on to the next step!"

The production of traditional handmade tea is also a small selling point, and it is naturally worth opening a live broadcast and making a video of the results.

So, Xia Jie first edited all the videos of his grandfather making the wooden tower these days, and then posted it on the pumpkin network, and then opened the live broadcast room.

"Yo, the kitchen god is back, I didn't talk to my grandfather properly!"

"Craftsman, did you say hello to the old man on my behalf!"

"Anyway, when will I see grandpa's new video!"

"Dalijie, I'm curious, why are you in such good spirits, obviously you stayed up all night last night, if it were me, this would definitely have to be planted!"

"This will be live, what are you going to do? Are you going to sleep on the live broadcast?"

"Haha, Dalijie, you can rest assured to go to sleep, as long as you broadcast the whole process, I will definitely give you a reward!"

Facing the discussion in the live broadcast room, Xia Jie smiled and said: "Grandpa's latest video has been posted, it is to make wooden towers, friends who like it can go to the pumpkin video to take a look!"

"Got it, I'll see it right away!"

"Yes, yes, it's a big guy when I hear it, no wonder it takes so long to prepare!"

"Grandpa is going to surprise the four again!"

"Whether you look at it or not, go like it first!"

Then, Xia Jie pointed to the tea leaves in the bamboo strip and said, "Didn't I pick some tea leaves in the mountains last time, the first step is already good, and now I am ready to carry out the second step: hand rolling." ”

"Why do you have to knead it, isn't green tea just fried in the pot and finished? It seems that making black tea is much more troublesome than green tea!"

"Of course, fermented tea and unfermented tea are not the same concept at all!"

"I said anchor, isn't the kneading of this black tea using a machine?"

"There is no machine on the craftsman's side, so it is naturally artificial!"

"What kind of machine do you want, Dali Jie has the strength, or you can do it by rubbing it casually!"

"This is only the second step, how many steps are left?"

"What's the hurry, anyway, the anchor will definitely come to a big set, just watch it!"

Putting the bamboo strips on the small table, Xia Jie sat next to him, stretched out his hands, and began to knead the tea leaves.

Of course, this skill of making black tea is not inherited, but it is very interesting to see the old tea people in the village do it before, so he learned it and now it can be regarded as effective.

Xia Jie grabbed a large handful of tea leaves with both hands and rubbed them in the bamboo strips like a circle, making a rustling sound.

While kneading, he explained to everyone in the live broadcast room: "The reason why I want to roll is to lay a good foundation for the next step of fermentation." ”

"After kneading, there will be three changes in the tea leaves: one is to destroy the leaf cell tissue, and the tea juice will overflow, laying the foundation for the formation of the unique endoplasm of black tea. ”

"The second is to knead the leaves into tight straight cords, reduce the body shape, and create a beautiful shape. ”

"The third is to make the tea juice overflow on the surface of the leaves, which is easily soluble in water when brewing, increasing the concentration of tea soup and forming a shiny appearance. ”

"In order to achieve this effect, we must pay attention to the grasp of the weight and strength when kneading, and not too vigorous. ”

"If you push too hard, you will squeeze out the tea juice, and once this tea juice is kneaded into the leaves, the resulting tea leaves will become bland in taste. ”

Listening to Xia Jie's eloquent talk, watching his prioritized kneading movements, the audience in the live broadcast room also sighed.

"After taking it, Encyclopedia is really worthy of his reputation, he knows everything he says, and he can do anything!"

"This black tea is really troublesome, exquisite!"

"I said Da Jie, you can take it easy, you have a lot of strength, it's easy to squeeze out the water!"

"I think it's pretty simple, it's just rubbing and rubbing, it's not hard, right?"

"Don't stand and talk without back pain, I used to work in a tea factory, and it is really tiring to rub tea leaves by hand, and it is very boring!"

"Tea Renjie, is this tea you made for sale!"

"Okay, buddy, don't ask, as long as it's the craftsman's first time, it will definitely not be sold!"

"Haha, yes, yes, I've mastered the rules, let's ask the price for the second time!"

Because there are not too many tea leaves picked, after more than half an hour of twisting, Xia Jie grabbed a handful of tea leaves, slightly forced, and said to the camera.

"Look, after grabbing it like this, the juice will overflow, but it won't gather and drip even if it's rolled. ”

"The next step we need to carry out is called fermentation, which is the key to the quality of tea!"

Hearing Xia Jie's words, the audience began to talk again.

"This tea leaves have to be fermented, it feels like brewing!"

"I really don't know how tea is fermented!"

"Dalijie, is it the same as you make rice wine, and you still need to add sake lees?"

Xia Jie brought a basin from the side, scattered the twisted tea leaves, and then said unhurriedly while loading it in.

"The fermentation of this tea, commonly known as 'sweating', refers to the natural fermentation of polyphenols in the tea under the promotion of enzymes to oxidize, so that the green tea blank produces redness. ”

"So in a way, this fermentation process is similar to the sand turning of salted eggs!"

"Of course, it takes a lot less time to ferment, only a few hours is enough, so let's put it here first. ”

With that, Xia Jie took a wet towel, covered it on the basket, and placed it in a corner of the room.

"Tsk, watching the live broadcast of the anchor, it's really good to gain knowledge!"

"By the way, speaking of salted eggs, the pickled ones last time were almost edible!"

"The salted egg yolk that flows with oil, I take one bite at a time, and I enjoy eating it very much!"

"I remember when I was a child, I could eat three bowls of porridge with one salted egg!"

"Hey, aren't you talking about tea, why did you jump on top of the salted egg again?"

Listening to everyone's shouting, Xia Jie said with a smile: "Yes, the salted eggs that were pickled last time should be almost there, and I happened to be a guest today, so I took a few out and cooked them." ”

"Brother Xia, Brother Xia!"

As soon as Xia Jie took four salted eggs from the jar and came out to wash them, there was a high-pitched shout outside.

Then, there was another fierce dog barking!

"Wang!

Obviously, before getting Xia Jie's second permission, Qiuqiu's goalkeeping awareness is very strong, and he is more dedicated than football goalkeepers!

"Ahh

Zhao Xiaoliang is also quite helpless, the current size of the ball is not small, and it is still quite deterrent.

"Qiuqiu, stop screaming, this is a friend. ”

Xia Jie hurriedly walked out and said.

"Wang...... Wow!"

(Master, I see!)

Qiuqiu shook his head and called.

"Brother Xia, what are you busy with?"

Zhao Xiaoliang asked with a smile after entering the door.

"I didn't know you were coming, wash a few salted duck eggs and eat them at night. ”

Xia Jie pointed to the pool and said.

"Oh, salted duck eggs, I like it!"

Zhao Xiaoliang raised the corners of his mouth and said happily.
