Chapter 118: Beginning to Stir Tea (Part II)
Jinyang picked two kinds, one is the best and most tender bud tip, this part is reserved for the finished product after learning to roast tea.
The other is the tea used for this practice in addition to the tip of the bud, although this kind of tea is also very good, but it can't be compared with the tip of the bud, and Jinyang didn't put it in his eyes, anyway, there are more in the space.
Even if the space tea leaves are not the best bud tips, they all look crystal clear, emerald green and attractive, as if they are carved from jadeite, as if they can shine in the sun.
Holding it in your hand, the faint aroma of tea mixed with grass comes straight to your nose, unlike the general tea with a strong grassy flavor, but with a unique floral aroma.
This floral scent is like a combination of many floral scents, and the smell is not only not boring, but rather has a sense of exploring it, which is extremely attractive.
Stir-fried tea is very particular, there is "the first pot full of pots, the second pot with strength, and the third pot with a handle." ".
The first is the first pot, the first pot is called the raw pot, which mainly plays the role of killing, and the general pot temperature is between 180-200, and the temperature is the highest among the three pots.
Jin Yang doesn't know how to control the temperature of the pot, but Jin Yang also has his own cleverness, he plans to make the first pot the largest, and the other two pots are second, so that no matter what the temperature is, at least this order is right.
Taking out some withered grass, Jin Yang was just about to make a fire, when he heard Duoduo shouting anxiously on the side: "Uncle, uncle, help more, help make a fire, let me come quickly." While clapping his little hands vigorously, his eyes looked at the withered grass in Jin Yang's hands excitedly.
"The little girl likes to play with fire, uncle wants to fry tea, where can I take care of you?
"Okay, good, Duoduo is a good boy, Duoduo helps my uncle. The little girl was very happy, and hurriedly agreed, in her opinion, making a fire is a very fun thing, and it can also help her uncle, who will praise herself.
After lighting the fire, Duoduo began to excitedly stuff the pine branches prepared in advance, and kept saying: "I add, I add, I add and add, hehe, the fire will burn quickly." ”
The first time the tea stir-fry technique was rusty, Jinyang planned to put two or three taels of tea leaves, and try to fry them first. Put the tea leaves into the pot, Jinyang learned to use his hands directly in the pot to rotate and stir-fry in the video, so that the leaves will rotate and turn with the rotation, and the water loss will be evenly heated.
At first, it seemed to be really like that, but after a while, the tea leaves were burnt, emitting an unpleasant smell, and Duoduo pinched his little nose in disgust and said, "Uncle, it's burnt, hey, it stinks." ”
"Ahem, uncle, this is just the first time I haven't controlled it well, and this time it definitely won't. "Embarrassed, quickly get the burnt tea leaves, then clean the pot, put in the tea leaves again and start frying the tea a second time.
This time Jinyang learned the lesson of the last time, the last time the tea was scorched because the speed of stir-frying was not fast enough, and the tea was not heated evenly enough. This time, Jin Yang was full of energy, and his hands flew as if he was practicing iron sand palms, quickly turning the tea leaves in the pot.
But it backfired, and the smell of burnt paste came from the pot again. "What the hell, I'm already so fast, how can there be a problem?"
Jin Yang carefully took out the tea leaves in the pot, and looked at them carefully, the tea leaves were not all burnt, it was part burnt, and part of it was good, it seemed that it was still because of uneven heating.
Duoduo was still excitedly adding firewood at this time, but it should have been too much, blocking the ventilation, and the fire gradually became smaller and was about to be extinguished.
The little girl was about to cry in a hurry, and hurriedly called out to her uncle: "Uncle, come over quickly, Duoduo has worked hard to add firewood, why is the fire still running out?"
Interrupted by Duoduo, Jin Yang hurriedly looked towards the fire, and then said helplessly: "Duoduo, this is because you added too much firewood and blocked it, and of course it will be extinguished if there is no oxygen in it, you remember to leave some space for it." ”
Then while teaching Duoduo how to make a fire, after a while, the fire burned again, Duoduo happily clapped his little hands and smiled: "Uncle is really powerful, the fire is burning again." ”
Looking at the fire that was gradually burning again, Jin Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, slapped his thigh vigorously and said: "Yes, how did I forget this, just like a fire without oxygen, the tea can't all be wrapped together, it must be fully spread out to be heated more evenly, hehe, I'm really a genius, this must be done." After saying that, he began to put in the tea leaves again and began to stir-fry the tea for the third time.
I really didn't ask now, because the speed was fast enough, the tea leaves were dispersed enough, and the heating was very uniform, two minutes later, looking at the soft leaves of the tea leaves and the dark green color of the leaves, Jin Yang swept the tea into the second pot.
Then he quickly ran to Duoduo, used the fire in the first stove to the second pot with the fire tongs, and then told Duoduo:
"Duoduo, now add firewood here, but not too much, you can see that this is the case, just watch the fire stay like this, understand?"
Duoduo suddenly nodded his little head and said, "Duoduo received, Duoduo understood." Then he stared earnestly at the fire in the stove.
Unlike Duoduo adding small branches, the firewood added by Jinyang to Rig is the kind of thick branches that can be burned for a long time.
The second pot is called Erqing Pot, which mainly plays the role of continuing to finish and initially kneading strips, and the temperature of the pot is slightly lower than that of the raw pot.
Because the friction between the tea and the wall of the pot is relatively large, the force should be greater than that of the raw pot, so it is necessary to "bring strength", so that the leaves rotate in the pot with the roasted tea broom, and begin to roll into strips.
When the leaves are shrunk into strips, the tea juice sticks to the leaf surface and has a sticky feel, and it can be swept into the cooking pot.
Jinyang fried tea did not use a roasted tea broom, directly with the hand, so that you can better feel the temperature and various conditions of the tea, but Jinyang's technology is really not good, either the stir-fry is not uniform enough, or some of the other party did not stir-fry, and several pots were wasted later.
It wasn't until the seventh time that the second pot process Jinyang was completed, looking at the tea leaves that were already a little curled into strips, Jinyang suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
The cooked pot mainly plays the role of further making fine tea strips, and the pot temperature is lower than that of the second green pot, about 130-150 °C.
At this time, the leaves are already relatively soft, at this time, while stir-frying, while rubbing with your hands, keep keeping this action for about an hour, when the tea has been slightly brown, you should speed up the speed of stir-frying, and after about forty minutes, when the tea leaves are completely black-brown, it is the completion of the fried tea.
