Chapter 218: Stir-fried Tea (3/2)
"Quick, the little ones give me all the grasshoppers you caught, let's go home......" After the second master left, Zhang Feng lost the interest in continuing to play, so he shouted to the guys.
"Knowing the madman, look at these are the ...... I caught"
"Crazy brother, these are my ......"
"Brother Crazy, you see I've caught so much!"
The little ones handed over their harvest to Zhang Feng one after another, their faces were full of joy of harvest, and the most important thing was that the madman brother wanted to reward everyone for his meritorious deeds and give everyone candy to eat.
Collecting the harvest of the little children, Zhang Feng still has a lot, and it is estimated that he can fry a plate of good dishes at night, and the golden fried grasshoppers must be very delicious.
Carrying a string of grasshoppers, with a group of 'little goblins' to end the mountain patrol, began to go home, the little ones ate sweet sugar in their mouths, and jumped and jumped on the road with joy, happy.
"Yo, Xiaofeng, why are you following so many oil bottles on your buttocks?" Walking to the door of Uncle Erniu's house, Uncle Erniu asked with a smile after seeing it.
"These are all my good helpers, right? You see that most of these grasshoppers are caught by them, and they have time to eat and drink at night. Zhang Feng smiled, picked up the grasshopper in his hand and said.
"Uncle Erniu......"
"Uncle Erniu is so ......"
"Well, you're ......"
"Uncle Erniu, why don't you sell sugar when you sell wine?" asked the little guy subconsciously.
Suddenly, Uncle Er Niu thought about it, and felt that selling wine was selling, and selling other things was also selling, so it seemed that it was not bad to simply open a small tobacco and alcohol shop.
And there is only one small shop in the village, which is opened by Zhang Laosan's family at the entrance of the village, his character is known to everyone, although everyone does not want to buy things at his house, but there is only one in the village, everyone has no other way, Uncle Er Niu feels that if he opens a cigarette hotel, the business will definitely not be bad, in addition to selling wine, it is estimated that he can earn one or two thousand a month, plus the income from selling wine, it is estimated that there will be five or six thousand income.
"Xiao Feng, come in and sit down, I have something to discuss with you. There were a lot of people, Uncle Er Niu took out a few packets of chicken feet and sent the little children away, pulling Zhang Feng and walking towards the house.
"What's the matter, Uncle Erniu??" Zhang Feng asked curiously after sitting down.
"Xiao Feng, how about I transform this place into a smoke hotel?" Uncle Er Niu asked expectantly.
Anyway, you have to sell alcohol at home every day, and it must be very suitable to transform it into a tobacco hotel. Zhang Feng also agreed with Uncle Erniu's idea.
Then the two discussed the specific details, as well as how to modify the home, and everything was done, Zhang Feng walked home with a few strings of grasshoppers by himself.
Grasshoppers can't be outside for too long, and they are estimated to change their flavor in a few hours, unless they are put in the refrigerator, so as soon as they get home, Zhang Feng simply cleans the grasshoppers, drains the water and puts them in the refrigerator, and makes a fried grasshopper at night.
Then Zhang Feng came to the courtyard and looked at the lush tea tree, this tea tree was dug by Zhang Feng in the mountain temple, it was only more than one meter high when it was first dug, and it was not luxuriant, but the shape was not bad, so Zhang Feng got it back.
After the transplantation of this tea tree, although Zhang Feng took care of it not very well, he watered Rihua auxin every few days, so the tea tree grew very quickly, at this time it has reached more than two meters high, and the branches are luxuriant, and there are young shoots on the leaves, which looks very comfortable.
"I wonder if these sprouts can be fried into tea??" Suddenly this thought popped up in Zhang Feng's heart, and then it became more and more uncontrollable, Zhang Feng wanted to see what the tea leaves that had been watered with growth hormone tasted so good, so he was very curious.
"How many points does the system need to redeem a roasted tea skill?" Although Zhang Feng had the idea of making his own vegetable leaves, it was a pity that he couldn't, so he had to look at the skills in the system.
"Elementary Roasted Tea Skill - Eight Hundred Points" The system immediately replied.
"Eight hundred points ???" Zhang Feng's face was very entangled, eight hundred points is 80,000 soft girls, in order to drink some tea, it costs 80,000 yuan, I don't know if it's worth it?
"The system will exchange it for me!" Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and made a painful decision.
"Okay, host, please wait a minute......"
"Ding Dong, the primary roasted tea skill has been successfully exchanged, may I ask if the host is learning ...... now"
"Learning ......" Zhang Feng's voice just fell, countless images of roasted tea appeared in his mind, these strange memories were like an initiation, all stuffed into his head, the alien black technology is really magical, it is as mysterious as the legendary fairy law.
With the passage of time, countless roasted tea knowledge was absorbed by Zhang Feng, and gradually transformed into his experience and technology, about two or three minutes later, the memory transmission was finally completed, and Zhang Feng basically learned the basic roasted tea skills.
In fact, the primary tea roasting skills are not only the technique of roasting tea leaves, but also all aspects of the tea ceremony, such as how to pick tea, how to make tea and taste tea, etc.
After completely absorbing the skills transmitted by the system, Zhang Feng took the bamboo basket from the house and began to pick the tea leaves on the tea tree, according to the skills he just learned, Zhang Feng carefully picked the tea leaves on the tree, and he should be careful when picking tea, and he could not pinch with his fingernails to break it with his fingers, so that the quality of the tea picked was better.
In about ten minutes, Zhang Feng picked all the tea leaves on the tea tree, just filled a basket, and the tea should be about five or six taels.
"Xiaofeng, are you picking tea??" the eldest sister asked curiously.
"Yes, I see that this tea grows well, so I will pick some and fry it to see how it tastes when it is made?" Zhang Feng said with a slight smile.
"Isn't tea picking all in the spring?" the eldest sister asked curiously.
"Spring tea is called spring tea, but in addition to spring tea, there are also summer tea, autumn tea and winter tea!" Zhang Feng explained with a smile.
"Yes, you go and fry it, let me learn it too!" The eldest sister was also very interested in stir-frying tea, and urged with a smile.
The fresh tea leaves picked must be processed and processed in steps such as withering, killing, rolling, and drying to complete the production of bitter tea.
First of all, withering is to put the freshly picked tea leaves to dry under the sun, so that the leaf shape of the tea leaves shrinks, the thick stems lose water and are soft, not easy to break, and reduce the grass and wood flavor in the tea.
Finishing is simply put in the iron pot to fry, when the appearance of the tea leaves from bright green to dark green, the hand grips the tea slightly sticky, the thick stalk is folded and continuous, the green gas disappears, there is a tea fragrance wafting out, and the finish is over.
When kneading, use slow heat to stir-fry and knead, and warm kneading must also be carried out on a hot stove. The hot kneading method is to roll the tea into a lump when the adhesion of the tea is large, take it out of the pot to make shape, or grab the main stem of each bud, and rub it one leaf at a time or several leaves into a rope shape. It can also roll the leaves into a square circle or triangle, etc., so that it is exquisite and elegant, and it is restored to green after brewing, showing color, fragrance, taste and shape.
The last step is drying, that is, the kneaded tea leaves are placed in a place where the sun cannot be directly exposed to drying, and when the leaves can be ground and the thick stems are broken, there are broken threads, and the frying of bitter vegetables is finally completed.
