Chapter 20 Roasted Tea Master

Not long after, Su Yi came to a remote alley.

He stopped in front of an old house that looked like it was a little old, and that was what he was here for.

The door of the old house has a sense of history, at least for decades, and the paint on it has been rubbed off a lot by the years.

Su Yi knocked lightly on the door, and soon, he heard someone respond: "Come immediately, please wait." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps, and not long after, the door opened from the inside.

The one who came out to open the door was an old man over sixty years old, dressed simply, when he saw Su Yi, he had a little surprise, but it was more of a surprise.

Obviously, this old man knew Su Yi, otherwise he would not have such an expression.

After opening the door, he complained to Su Yi: "You kid, why haven't you come to see for a long time." ”

"I've been busy lately and don't have time. Su Yi said with a smile.

After the old man brought Su Yi in, he said, "You know how to make money, and you don't come to chat with my old man." ”

Hearing this, Su Yi just smiled and didn't explain.

The elderly, surnamed Zhang, is a roasted tea master, born in a family of tea artists, and has been using the craft of roasted tea for more than 40 years.

In other words, Su Yi and Master Zhang met by accident, when he was still studying in college.

It is also an interesting fate that a roasted tea master who is over sixty years old and a young man who doesn't like to drink tea can become friends who forget their years.

In the past, Su Yi would often come here to chat with Master Zhang to relieve boredom.

Master Zhang would pull him to drink tea together, which made him a little miserable, but overall, the two got along very happily.

But later, there was an accident at home, Su Yi dropped out of school, and he rarely had time to come over.

Therefore, Master Zhang complained a little, but he was able to come today, which still made Master Zhang very happy, which can be seen from the smile he couldn't close.

Speaking of this, Su Yi was still a little ashamed in his heart, if it wasn't for something today, maybe he wouldn't have come to Master Zhang.

Master Zhang's house is very large, and there is a small yard with many shelves, which are covered with tea leaves.

Next to it, there is a stone table and a rocking chair, it is estimated that before Su Yi came, Master Zhang was here to make tea and taste tea.

After entering the courtyard, Master Zhang's sharp eyes immediately found what he was holding in his hand: "Are you holding tea in your hand?"

"Well, I'd like to ask you for help stirring my tea. Su Yi said.

Hearing this, Master Zhang became more interested, and he said, "Roasted tea, when did you also become interested in tea, come, let me have a look." ”

Su Yi opened the bag of tea leaves, revealing and revealing the tea inside.

After seeing the tea inside, Master Zhang was even more interested, because he found that it was a tea that he had never seen before.

Master Zhang has been roasting tea for more than 40 years, and there are very few teas that he has never seen.

He placed the tea leaves on the table and began to look at them carefully.

Master Zhang asked, "What kind of tea is this, why haven't I seen it, and this tea fragrance is too tempting and human." ”

Su Yi said: "This is a new variety of tea, Bichun tea, there is no such tea on the market, I want to fry it into dry tea." ”

Master Zhang agreed on the spot: "I'll help you with this." ”

Hearing this, Su Yi was very happy, because he knew that it was not easy to ask Master Zhang to help stir the tea.

With Master Zhang's roasted tea skills, many people want to ask him for help.

But Master Zhang is not short of money, so he will only make a move when he encounters a famous tea, or a tea he is interested in.

If you are not interested in tea, he will never agree.

Now Master Zhang can agree to help, firstly, Bichun tea attracted him, and secondly, because he saw his friendship with Su Yi.

When the interest came, Master Zhang immediately began to make it.

Because it was the first time, Chef Zhang just took out a small part of the tea leaves and roasted the tea.

In the process of roasting tea, Master Zhang kept explaining to Su Yi the steps of roasting tea, why he did it, and what was the significance.

In fact, Master Zhang has always wanted to take Su Yi as an apprentice and teach him his own skills.

Although Master Zhang has children, they don't live at home, they are all out and about, and they are not interested in roasted tea, so he can't find a suitable inheritor, and he is anxious that the craft is about to be lost.

Later, Master Zhang met Su Yi, who was half-playing and half-learning, and followed him to learn how to roast tea.

Master Zhang found that he was quite perceptive and talented in roasting tea, so he wanted to take him as an apprentice.

It's just that Su Yi is not very interested, and he doesn't like to drink tea, even if he is talented, he can't learn the essence of it, and a lot of things happened later, and in the end, this matter is over.

However, whenever Chef Zhang has the opportunity, he will still teach him some common knowledge of roasted tea, hoping to arouse his interest so that he can learn how to stir-fry tea.

Master Zhang stir-fried the tea leaves in the hot pot with his bare hands, and his calloused hands deftly shuttled between the hot cauldrons.

It's just a moment of effort, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing, and it makes people want to taste it impatiently.

Master Zhang has been roasting tea for so many years, but he has never smelled such a fragrant tea aroma, which makes him more and more interested.

I only hope that this Bichun tea will not disappoint him, it is not empty of tea fragrance, but no tea taste.

The steps of stir-frying tea are divided into several steps, and this time Chef Zhang tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Soon, the tea was freshly baked.

And Su Yi next to him had already boiled a pot of hot water.

Even the well-informed Master Zhang couldn't hold back this time, and directly brewed it with freshly fried tea.

Su Yi found that the fried Bichun tea leaves were even more delicious than fresh tea, and the tea flavor was simply memorable.

This made him more confident in selling Bichun tea.

This kind of tea, Su Yi believes that anyone who loves tea will not miss it.

Master Zhang also took a small sip, and after carefully tasting it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Good tea." ”

Although it is a simple two words, it is not easy to get the praise of Master Zhang.

You must know that Master Zhang is not only good at roasting tea, but also his mouth is very picky, especially tea.

Ordinary tea leaves can't get into his eyes at all.

Master Zhang had drunk countless famous teas, but he felt that this Bichun tea was better than any famous tea, and he was very curious about where Su Yi got these teas.

However, Master Zhang is also quite content, fortunately Su Yi asked him to fry tea, otherwise, he would not have had the opportunity to taste Bichun tea.

Su Yi left all the Bichun tea leaves with Master Zhang, and then he left the courtyard.

With Master Zhang's help to stir up tea, he was very relieved.
