NA0032 Tea Upgrade
A new day, the beginning of July.
The matter of the price increase of Xiao Jingzhai's dishes was clearly arranged by Gu Kaiwen, and there was no room for refutation, so he could only choose to accept it, or no longer patronize Xiao Jing Zhai.
Jinshan District, Xinghai Lake.
On the evening of the first day of July, Gu Kaiwen followed Yun Haibo to the Gu Family Tea House, ready to check the situation in the tea garden.
According to the feedback from the original natural consciousness manifestation, tomorrow is the fifteen-day period, and the Gu family's tea garden should have basically recovered.
No!
To be precise, under the shroud of the natural life field, the state of the tea trees in the Gujia Tea Garden should be better than before, and the quality of the tea should also be better.
"Master Yun, how is the situation in the tea garden?" Gu Kaiwen asked.
Recently, the old tea shop has been closed, and Yun Zhongyang has been in the tea house, "I can't tell you about the situation in the tea garden." Yun Zhongyang wanted to speak and stopped.
"Huh?" Gu Kaiwen showed a puzzled look, "Master Yun, have you found any problems?"
Yun Zhongyang sighed, "There's no problem. But in the tea garden, there is an indescribable change, those old tea trees, as if a new life has erupted, a bit like... Rejuvenation... That's right, it's rejuvenation!"
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Regarding the changes in the tea garden, Gu Kaiwen's heart was like a mirror, but he pretended to be confused, no matter how good his relationship with Yun Zhongyang was, he would not say anything about the favor of natural consciousness.
"I picked a young bud this morning and ate it raw..."Yun Zhongyang paused before sighing, "I feel that those tea trees are in very good condition!"
"Very good?" Gu Kaiwen asked rhetorically, "What grade is it?"
In fact, there is no uniform grade of tea.
There are different grades for different types of tea, such as the sixth-grade twelve-grade roasted green, or the seventh-grade fourteenth-grade, and the fifth-grade nineteenth-grade of Longjing tea before the rain before the Ming Dynasty, and other grades.
The grade Gu Kaiwen asked about was actually a price grade.
For example, the third-level Longjing, which is the most ranked in Longjing, has a retail price of about 100 yuan per catty.
The tea leaves of Gujia Tea House belong to the wild roads that are picked all year round, and in terms of price, they are naturally inferior to the famous teas such as Longjing, Biluochun, etc., which have formed a scale.
Yun Zhongyang pondered for a moment before responding, "It's July now, but I think its quality will not be lower than that of ordinary Longjing tea before the Ming Dynasty!"
"So powerful?" Gu Kaiwen said in surprise.
Even if it is an ordinary Longjing, as long as it is authentic, as long as it is picked before the Ming Dynasty, the retail price will not be lower than five hundred yuan a catty, if it is lower than this price?
Congratulations!
I must have bought a fake, or a stale from last year!
Originally, the tea leaves of Gujia Tea House were not even comparable to the lowest-grade third-grade Longjing before the rain, but now the quality has suddenly reached the price of the pre-Ming tea?
The so-called 'tea before the rain' is actually the tea picked after the Qingming Festival and before the Guyu Festival, and the 'tea before the Ming Dynasty' refers to the tea picked before the Qingming Festival.
To put it simply, 'tea before the rain' can also be called 'tea after the rain', but 'tea after the rain' is obviously not good, and it also has the feeling of self-surrendering identity, so it is collectively called 'before the rain'.
In the field of tea, before the Qingming Festival, the number of tea trees germinating is limited, the growth rate is slow, and the yield that can meet the standard of picking is very small, so the tea before the Ming Dynasty is a little more precious than the tea before the rain.
However, pre-rain tea is also precious.
At least compared to the wild road of Gujia Tea House, the tea killed a few streets before the rain. Of course, it was the former Gujia Tea House.
Now Gujia Tea House is different!
The realm of natural life envelops the Gujia Tea House, allowing the tea trees to obtain the essence of natural life, and they begin to change from the essence.
"Shaodong, you taste it!" Yun Zhongyang picked a tender shoot casually and handed it to Gu Kaiwendao.
Gu Kaiwen did not shy away from it, he has been dealing with tea since he was a child, and he can more or less judge the quality of tea.
Gu Kaiwen chewed the buds, he raised his eyebrows, and then showed a look of surprise, "There is no bitter taste, but a faint sweet taste?"
Yun Zhongyang nodded heavily, "Yes, I was still wondering if my sense of taste was wrong, but now I am finally relieved!"
"The taste is special, a bit like licorice, but not as strong, and it feels very good mixed with the tea aroma. Gu Kaiwen said carefully.
Yun Zhongyang seconded the proposal again, and then looked at Gu Kaiwen with a hopeful gaze, "Shaodong, pick a little tea tomorrow and try fried tea?"
Recently, although Yun Zhongyang has been in Gujia Tea House, he knew about the popularity of Xiao Jingzhai through Yun Haibo, and he was very afraid that Gu Kaiwen would give up running the old tea shop and turn his head to concentrate on running Xiao Jingzhai.
Yun Zhongyang thought too much about this, Xiao Jingzhai was already on the right track, and Gu Kaiwen was ready to go back and deal with the affairs of the old teahouse.
"No problem, Master Yun, will you do it yourself tomorrow?" Gu Kaiwen asked with a smile.
Under normal circumstances, Yun Zhongyang no longer knows how to roast tea by himself. After all, the tea grade of Gujia Tea House is not high, and Yun Haibo's roasted tea skills are very good, so Yun Zhongyang only needs some pointers.
Yun Zhongyang responded solemnly, "Well, Shaodong, I'll personally go to the stove tomorrow!"
Following.
Summer brightens up early, less than half past five, Yun Zhongyang took Yun Haibo and the two sisters of the Cao family to pick tea together, Gu Kaiwen was still asleep, and the work of picking tea naturally did not need him to do it himself.
When it was close to seven o'clock, Yun Haibo woke up Gu Kaiwen, "Shaodong, the third father is going to stir up tea." ”
'Three Dad' is the dialect title of Shengqing City, which means 'three uncles' in Mandarin, which means that Yun Haibo's father and Yun Zhongyang are brothers.
Gu Kaiwen quickly got up and washed up, and came to the tea room of the tea house.
When Gu Kaiwen arrived, Yun Zhongyang had already finished preparations, he looked at Gu Kaiwen and said, "Shaodong, I'll start!"
Gu Kaiwen nodded, he stood aside and observed.
He has been watching it for more than ten years since he can remember, and he is quite familiar with roasted tea. For example, the first step is to finish the raw pot, and the temperature of the pot is required to be between 180 degrees and 200 degrees, which is very important.
At the time of finishing, the roasted tea master is required to move quickly, and the tea leaves are rotated and fried in the pot, this step must not only move quickly, but also ensure that the tea is heated evenly.
This is also the reason why machine roasted tea is popular now!
However, the machine is always a machine, and the machine roasted tea is not as good as the manual roasted tea, and the high-end tea is all manually roasted tea.
The tea leaves of Gujia Tea House are also a major feature of artificial roasted tea!
