"Come on, one cake for each person! Don't worry, everyone has a ......"

Back at home, Grandma Liu fulfilled her promise, brought out a plate of pastries, and gave them to the little ones with a smile.

Zhang Feng smiled, sat in the yard with the old man and Yiyi, cleaning up the leaves on the honeysuckle, because these leaves cannot be used to fry tea, and they need to be all removed.

Everyone cleaned the leaves of the honeysuckle while watching the little children play in the yard, which was also very leisurely and comfortable.

"Hehe, these leather monkeys are really lively for a day!!" the old man said with a smile.

"By the way, Yiyi and Xiaofeng, when do you think you are going to get married?"

"This ......" Zhang Feng was dumbfounded, it seems that the old man should want to hold his great-grandson.

"Grandpa......" Yiyi said coquettishly.

"I think you're going to hurry up, you're all twenty-six or seventy!" Grandpa Liu continued with a smile.

"I'll discuss this matter with Yiyi!" Zhang Feng smiled, in fact, the two had already discussed, and they would get married after a few more years, and this was just Zhang Feng's rhetoric.

"Then hurry up, your grandmother and I are still waiting to hold our great-grandson!" said the old man with a smile.

"That is, while the old man and I are not old, we can still take you a few days of children. Grandma Liu also came over to the two at this time and said.

"Grandparents, you are still in such good health, even if you live to be a hundred years old, you will not be old!!" Yiyi said with a quick smile.

"Hehe, you two guys!!" The old man smiled helplessly, knowing that the two of them definitely have no plans to get married in the near future!!

And the health of the two elders is indeed good, since coming to this idyllic Moon Lake, the bodies of the old man and Grandma Liu have changed too much, too amazing,

Only the two elders know how healthy their bodies are, and they are not like old people who are over the age of old, just like middle-aged people in their fifties and sixties.

The two elders are energetic every day, eat well, sleep soundly, and can see the picturesque scenery of Moon Lake every day, and the mood is naturally very good.

So although the two elders had some regrets, they were not persecuting Zhang Feng and the others.

……

"Xiaofeng, you come to light the fire, it's okay to burn it bigger!"

Roasted tea needs to be heated and finished at high temperatures, so that the green and astringent taste in the honeysuckle can be removed, and the mellow aroma of tea will appear after frying.

Therefore, the grasp of the heat is very important, but fortunately, the old man has fried it a few times, so the technology is not bad.

The honeysuckle tea that the old man wants to fry belongs to the flower tea category,

It is made of high-quality green tea as a blank, and fresh honeysuckle is made according to the honeysuckle tea making process.

Summer is the harvest period for honeysuckle, when the flowers first bloom are pure white and turn yellow the next day, and the aroma gradually dissipates, so it is best to pick them on the day of flowering.

Honeysuckle is a woody vine of the honeysuckle family, and the honeysuckle tea made of its flowers and tea leaves has the effects of aromatic and delicious, cool and detoxifying, and activating the meridians. Drinking this tea often can prevent illness and prolong life.

High-quality honeysuckle tea, the shape is tight and straight, the color is gray and green, the aroma is pure and timeless, the soup color is yellow and green, the taste is mellow and delicious, and the bottom of the leaves is tender and soft.

This honeysuckle tea first appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and it was mentioned in "Materia Medica":

'Jiangnan place, this is a substitute for tea. ’

There is also a record in the "Illustrated Examination of Plant Names": "Wu in the summer heat month, with flowers into the tea drink, tea shops to sell new honeysuckle is expensive, all of which are produced in Zhongzhou." ’”

While preparing, the old man introduced the history of honeysuckle frying to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng nodded, and then continued to listen to the old man's introduction, the production method of honeysuckle:

1. Preparation of main ingredients: honeysuckle tea needs 90% tea as the main ingredient. The fresh and tender tea leaves with one bud and two leaves or one bud and three leaves are made into dry tea according to the production method of green tea, which requires a water content of no more than 4%, and removes old leaves, broken leaves, tea powder and impurities.

2. Honeysuckle harvest: May to July is the honeysuckle harvest period, during this period, when the buds turn from green to white, the upper part is expanded, and the lower part is blue, it can be picked, and if there are flowers that have been opened, they should also be harvested together.

3. Tea incense: Put dry tea and honeysuckle flowers in a sealed container and spread them in a compartment, that is, a layer of tea leaves and a layer of flowers, and cover and seal the container mouth.

After that, every 2-3 hours, the honeysuckle is raised, the tea leaves are mixed well, and then the second interval of tea and honeysuckle is repeated. In this way, the woad leaves can absorb the aroma of honeysuckle.

Fourth, the preparation of flower tea: after the tea incense is completed, the honeysuckle is raised, exposed to the sun, when the honeysuckle can be powdered by hand, it can be mixed evenly with the tea at a ratio of 1:10, that is, honeysuckle tea. Honeysuckle must be dried in the sun, not dry, otherwise it will not maintain the original color of honeysuckle. The flower tea made by the above method can achieve the effect of good color and flavor.

"Ah, old man, I understand, it turns out that honeysuckle tea is like this!" Hearing the old man's introduction, Zhang Feng suddenly realized.

"Hehe, you kid must think that honeysuckle tea is fried honeysuckle, right?"

"Yes, you don't say I don't know all along!" Zhang Feng smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "No wonder you always let me pick fresh tea leaves in the yard!"

"Of course, what we want to fry now is your Moon Lake bitter tea, and then use this bitter tea to absorb the fragrance of fresh honeysuckle, and finally mix it with sun-dried and kneaded honeysuckle, so that we can make honeysuckle tea!" the old man explained to Zhang Feng with a smile.

It turns out that honeysuckle tea, in which tea leaves still account for the main part, needs to be mixed with 90% green tea or other tea leaves and honeysuckle.

For example, the tea made from green tea and jasmine together is called jasmine tea, the tea made with roses is called rose tea, and the tea is called whatever flower is used.

But the main ingredient is other teas, and the role of these flowers is only to provide their unique aroma.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that this was honeysuckle tea, which was so different from what he imagined.

But thinking about it, Zhang Feng can also understand, after all, just having the taste of honeysuckle is still too monotonous, and he has also drunk rose tea and jasmine tea before, and it does have the taste of green tea.

It is estimated that people who do not often drink tea do not know this knowledge, because the tea culture in China is too broad and profound, and after thousands of years of inheritance, the knowledge is as vast as the ocean.

"Okay, the tea embryo is finally ready!!" After being busy for an hour or two, the old man was also hot and sweaty.

After high temperature, rapid kneading, and complete roasting, Moon Lake bitter tea also exudes a rich fragrance, and when you sniff it gently, the aroma is tangy, which is simply intoxicating.

"The old man's rest is to smoke incense, right?"

"Hehe, yes, this step takes a lot of time, let's take it slowly!"

The old man smiled and put the tea into the box, and then moved on to the next step.
