Chapter 127: Stealing Tea

However, the surprise of the villagers is not over.

After roasting the tea trim.

Lu Yu spread the tea in the sieve evenly.

And the other side.

Hou Li and Hou Xin had already removed the raw pot of the first roasted tea.

Place the smokeless charcoal in the stove and cover the charcoal with a thin layer of ashes.

This is also Lu Yu's command.

It is easier to control the temperature of the fire only by covering it with a thin ash.

And only with charcoal can the aroma of tea be brought to life.

Baking with electric heat, there will never be a faint charcoal fragrance.

He threw the tea leaves from the sieve into the bamboo steamer again.

The temperature in the stove is controlled below 100 degrees Celsius and baked slowly.

This process is called "initial baking".

It was only then that he took out a cigarette and lit it.

The surrounding villagers and the villagers who came after them were already silent and waited quietly.

Five minutes later.

Lu Yu opened the "steamer" and gently turned the tea leaves.

It took four or five turns before the tea strip was set.

I grabbed it with my hand, and the tea bar poked my hand slightly.

At this point, the water content should have dropped to about 15 percent.

Only then did Lu Yu sweep the tea back into the small dry water sieve, and carefully carried it back to the original Zen room to cool it.

At this point, tea has basically taken shape.

As soon as Lu Yu walked out of the meditation room, he was instantly surrounded by the villagers!

"Xiao Lu...... Oh no, Master Lu, teach us how to make tea!"

"Yes, Master Lu! Your tea-making skills are so good! I have been making tea for 30 years!"

……

Lu Yu smiled helplessly: "Everyone, the tea is not ready yet......"

"Master Lu, we have been dealing with tea for so many years, and you must be making good tea!"

"Yes! It's the first time I've seen such a straight tea strip!"

"You're so good!

"Otherwise, even if we plant good tea, we won't do it!"

……

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I let everyone grow tea, then I will definitely tell you how to make it!"

As he spoke, he looked at the time, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xuan Bei.

"Zen Master, I don't know if I can ...... it"

Before he could finish speaking, Xuan Bei already smiled and said, "The old man in the place where the Fa is taught has already been prepared, and Lu Jushi just has to go over." ”

Lu Yu laughed and didn't say much.

Directly follow the guidance of the monks in the temple to the lecture place in Leifeng Temple.

This time.

Lu Yu almost unreservedly taught the villagers all the picking, planting, and production methods of Xinyang hair tips.

The villagers listened very carefully, for fear of missing any details.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun is already setting.

Lu Yu looked at the sky outside the hall and stood up again.

After the initial drying, the cooling time is almost up.

The next step is re-drying.

The method of re-drying and primary drying is basically the same.

It's just that the fire temperature is lower, only around 60 to 65 degrees.

And the time interval between turning tea is also long, and it is gently turned once in about ten minutes.

When the tea strip is fixed and turns into powder by rubbing it with your hands, you can take it off.

At this moment, the water content in the tea is almost only 7%.

It was getting dark.

Lights were lit up outside Leifeng Temple.

Lu Yu simply picked the tea leaves once and removed sundries and yellow flakes.

Then re-bake again.

As the sun sets and the moon rises.

Outside Leifeng Temple, the fragrance of tea is already overflowing!

Even the monks in the temple couldn't help but walk out of the temple gate, looking at the straight and smooth tea leaves in the water sieve, and admired softly!

Lu Yu first put the tea leaves with a polar water content into the cool meditation room.

Then he smiled and said, "I'm really sorry for delaying everyone's time." ”

"If your uncles are satisfied with this tea, how about we discuss transplanting and planting tomorrow?"

Satisfied?

Not only is it satisfied, it is simply a surprise!

The villagers were all busy nodding their heads when they heard this.

After watching the tea making on this day, all the villagers have developed great confidence in Xinyang Maojian!

In the spring of next year, Xinyang Maojian will definitely sell well all over the country!

……

After sending off the villagers.

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly went to the meditation room where the herbal tea was spread and grabbed a small pinch of Xinyang's hair.

While the monks were eating fast, they ran to the grass hut and began to boil water.

Why?

In fact, I'm not sure if this product tastes good or not!

After all, this is the first time he has made tea by himself, and it is still autumn tea.

Although it looks good on the outside, he is not sure how it will taste now!

This is also the reason why this product was not tasted by the villagers and Xuanbei.

If it really doesn't taste good, I can't afford to lose that person!

……

Just when this thing was boiling water.

Suddenly a childish voice came from the grass hut behind him.

"Hmph! Lu Yu is stingy! I guessed that you were going to drink tea secretly!"

Burst!

Lu Yu was so frightened that he almost jumped!

He didn't relax until he saw the small figure emerging from the hut.

"What is the little girl doing in the grass hut when she doesn't go to eat, you want to scare me to death?"

Xiao Shen Xuan pursed her lips and sat directly on the stone bench next to Lu Yu.

"I'm bored!"

"Bored?"

"Well, you made tea all day, and no one paid attention to me! There wasn't even a single person fighting, and the monk Jingchen ran away when he saw me!"

The little girl hugged her knees and looked up and sighed: "It's so boring!"

Lu Yu Yile, just because of this?

But think about it, too, everyone's attention is on the tea.

Even Hou Li, who can usually play with Xiao Shen Xuan, is seriously learning how to make tea.

Of course no one pays attention to her!

Only now......

Lu Yu glanced at the tea on the table.

And at this time, Xiao Shen Xuan also happened to come over!

"This is the Xinyang Maojian you made today, right?"

"Uh...... Ahh

"Did you bring it to me to taste? Lu Yu, you are so good!"

"Hmmm......"

"Lu Yu, what are you still doing in a daze? The water is almost boiling, make tea!"

"Oh......"

Lu Yu was helpless, so he had to turn around and lift the kettle.

Extremely reluctant to start warming the cup, precipitation temperature.

Wait until the water temperature drops to about 85 degrees.

He threw the tip of Xinyang's hair into the cup.

Then slowly rinse the tea.

Then start brewing.

By this time they had already brought the glass from the bottom of the mountain.

Under the impact of boiling water, the tips of Xinyang's hairs with fine straight and round light are flying.

The green buds and leaves are swirling and turning, and they are beautiful.

Xiao Shen Xuan also flashed her big eyes, staring at the cup for a moment, as if she couldn't wait.

Half a minute after flushing.

The soup has turned green.

Lu Yu pushed the cup forward: "Drink." ”

"Hmm!"

Xiao Shen Xuan held the teacup in both small hands and hurriedly took a sip.

Lu Yu asked cautiously, "Feel...... How?"

Xiao Shen Xuan raised her head and suddenly frowned: "It seems to be ...... It's a bit bitter!"
