Wooden shelves as high as two floors, ventilated on all sides at the bottom of the shelves, have a charcoal-burning stove with a chimney to bring a small amount of soot to the outside.

Ye Chen guarded and collected the freshly fried tea leaves and sealed them.

Zhang Chen climbed to the top with a wooden ladder: "Uncle, what are the two black cakes on it?" ”

"The dragon group wins the snow."

"What?"

"Longtuan Shengxue, Emperor Huizong's favorite during the Northern Song Dynasty."

"I don't read much, don't lie to me." Zhang Chen stretched out his hand and touched the tea ball, smooth: "Although I don't drink much tea, the old man in the family likes it." Longtuan Shengxue is Anji White Tea ......"

"Anji white tea is also green tea. I used the process of making Longtuan Shengxue, local tea, which is considered a pseudo-Longtuan Shengxue. ”

"Oh, my father said that this tea is made and the craftsmanship has been lost. Do you know how to make? ”

"Eight or nine are inseparable from ten, which knows. That's pretty much it. Ye Chen collected the tea leaves, looked at the charcoal fire in the stove, and blew it twice with a blow blow to make the charcoal burn. The tea balls are 4.5 meters high from the ground, and they are roasted slowly, and the heat is not too small.

Ye Chen looked at the time, and it was half past two in the afternoon: "Have you had lunch?" ”

"No, I came to you to eat, I saw that you were busy, and I was embarrassed to say it. Get something to eat, belly growling. ”

Ye Chen went to cook, cut some bacon and threw it into the rice cooker to cook together, the simplest bacon wrapped rice, and then the knife, carrying a clean bucket, came to the thatched hut, cut a piece of honeycomb and went back.

It has only been more than a month since the space bees settled in the thatched hut, and the number of bee colonies has developed to the scale of 100,000, and there are four honeyhives in the thatched hut, the largest one is more than one meter long, half a meter wide, and the soil is round.

Ye Chen went back with the honey and pinched a piece to eat, the sweet flavor was moderate, refreshing.

Zhang Chen also came to get a piece: "Delicious, with the fragrance of tea?" And the one that I ate before is not one. ”

"Most of this honey is camellia nectar." Ye Chen said, picking up the honeycomb and squeezing out the honey.

The honeycomb is mostly beeswax.

Fresh hives are pale yellow and whitish. Wash the beeswax in the pool water, wrap it in a cotton cloth and put it in an iron pot to boil. The temperature should not be too high, turn off the heat when the water is about to boil, find something to squeeze the cotton cloth, and the melted beeswax will seep out and float on the surface of the water.

It looks like a layer of grease, like lard that has not solidified.

Zhang Chen watched curiously from the side, and saw all the melted beeswax, Ye Chen filtered it twice, and the beeswax on the water surface showed a pale milky yellow color, which was very close to the color of the cheese, and then put it in cold water, waiting for the beeswax in the basin to solidify.

"What is this doing?"

"Make beeswax." Take out the solidified beeswax, put it in a clean iron basin, put it in the oven, adjust the temperature to 100 degrees, melt the beeswax again, and dry the moisture inside: "Used to seal the tea leaves." Ye Chen said that he heard the sound of the rice cooker switch beating: "It's time to eat." ”

"The operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the salary is two hundred and five." Zhang Chen served the meal, and then said: "It's better to concentrate on your live broadcast." ”

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders, the income from live broadcasts before seemed to be quite high, of which more than 80% of the income came from the top three contributions of the overall list, Zhang Guohua, Zhang Chen, and Chen Zhiwen.

Ye Chen withdrew it once, more than 900,000 yuan, which was used to shoot an 'embarrassing film'. The main source of income for small anchors is gifts, and less than 50% of the gifts given by the audience are received by anchors. At first, as soon as the freshness passed, Ye Chen lost that energy, and he was really busy.

Before the meal was finished, a Volkswagen Passat drove over, it was Connor and Anderson.

"How's it going?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"It's ok. There are a few good teas in Mengding Mountain, and the prices are cheap. Let's take a look at your tea and make a decision. Connor said.

Ye Chen shaved the rice in two by two and took out the tea leaves: "Three kinds of tea ......" Ye Chenzu registered the brand 'Chenshan', and originally wanted to register 'Qingshan', but the name has been registered by others.

"Chenshan nectar, level 1. That is, autumn tea after October, one leaf and one bud...... One kilogram five hundred. ”

"Chenshan small leaf tea species, first-class. Ancient Tree Tea ...... Three thousand kilograms. ”

"Chenshan small leaf tea, special grade. Ancient tea varieties, special technology...... 10,000 per kilogram. ”

Ye Chen boiled a pot of boiling water, took out three kinds of tea leaves, and spread them on a pure white silk cloth. Zhang Chen watched from the side, rolling his eyes: "It's really a fierce operation, and then look at the salary of two thousand and a half." The small leaf green tea we just drank is a special grade? ”

"Well, Premium." Ye Chen opened the cup and glanced up at Zhang Chen.

"Personally, I feel that it is no worse than the tea that my dad bought at the auction. One kilogram and two catties, one catty is only five thousand, or I will help you sell it, thirty or fifty thousand pounds should not be a problem. ”

"I'm talking about dollars...... It's about the same price. ”

First, he brewed Chenshan nectar and gave it to Connor and Anderson to taste.

Chenshan nectar is all carefully fried by hand by the master chef, in general, it is above the level, but the price is expensive. 3400 yuan a catty, you can buy better tea.

Connor and Anderson have a certain knowledge of tea, and they know even more than Ye Chen.

There are several steps to taste tea, and here in Ye Chen, it can be considered simple. Directly observe the tea, and when brewing tea with water, observe the picture of tea leaves churning up and down when brewing. When the tea leaves are brewed, watch the process of the tea gradually unfolding. After the tea is brewed, look at the color of the tea and feel the aroma of the tea visually. Then smell the fragrance, if it matches the visual perception of the fragrance...... It's an imaginative process. It's like tasting wine...... Then there is the tea tasting, which has an aftertaste.

Connor won't say anything. Anderson is a professional wine appraiser, one might even say a master level. Has a very keen sense of smell for taste and aroma......

"The tea leaves are at the middle and upper level, the fragrance meets the standard of green tea, the soup color is translucent and not bad, and the aftertaste is grassy after drinking tea...... It can only be said that it is above the standard. Mengding Mountain tea of the same level, 500 grams of about 800 yuan. Anderson said, making a helpless expression.

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly and continued to make tea. The second cup, Chenshan small leaf tea seed, first grade.

It's still fried by the invited master.

Just looking at the tea leaves, Anderson said, "This tea is not up to the standard of your grandfather's frying." He went over to look at the teapot, poured out the tea leaves, and looked at the teahouse, there were too many residues, and shook his head speechlessly.

After brewing, the tea leaves are slightly yellow, but the soup is emerald green, fragrant and natural, and slightly bitter aftertaste.

Anderson's favorite is the small leaf tea variety, and it used to be an unparalleled enjoyment to buy tea from Ye Chen, making tea or tasting tea. Now the Xiaoye camellia is at the first level, but I can't get back the previous feeling, I always feel that there is something missing, not a little but a lot.

Whether it's brown or tea......

"Ye, so I said bluntly. Your tea is much worse than the original. More expensive...... Is this the only skill that your master has passed on to you? ”

"This is tea made by the workshop workers. The tea I made is here. Ye Chen opened the special grade small leaf camellia.

Anderson's eyes lit up when he saw it: "That's it, the tea leaves are distinct...... I'll brew it. Anderson said, swapping the ceramic teacup for a crystal cup.

Green tea is more suitable for brewing in a clay pot because the taste of green tea is relatively light, and the fragrance is easy to volatilize when brewed in a clay pot. But if you brew in a clay pot, you can't see the peculiar sight of the granules of tea blossoming in the water...... Moreover, the taste of small-leaf camellia is more mellow than that of ordinary green tea, and there is no situation where the aroma cannot be brought out.

Anderson first inspected the tea leaves, and the shape of the tea leaves was tight, broken, thick, light, heavy, uniform, and the content and color of the stalks. The particles were found to be uniform and generally consistent.

Green tea is mostly young leaves, and it should be 'warm' to retain more of the tea nutrients.

The tea leaves are like fresh tea in the water, the soup color is green and translucent, and there are almost no impurities, overflowing with the natural tea fragrance, as if walking slowly in the woods in summer......

The first bubble has a light, fragrant, long, and seemingly light spirit.

The second bubble, the taste is still fragrant, the taste is a little strong, and the aftertaste in the mouth is evocative.

The third bubble, the taste is slightly bitter in the fragrance, but there is a different taste in the sweetness.

In the fourth bubble, the taste returned to the first bubble, the fragrance was light and elegant, and there was a little less aura. At this point, the taste of tea is light, and by the fifth brew, the color of the tea soup is blue and white, and the taste is lighter......

Anderson was in charge of the tea sipping, drinking five cups in a row without stopping. Green tea will change over time, and it takes five cups to achieve five brews without interruption, and under normal circumstances, the third cup, the color of the tea will go downhill.

After drinking five cups in a row, the tea leaves in the cup are no longer green and green, some light green, and the tea leaves in the water still unfold naturally.

"Very good, compared to the small leaf mountain tea made by your master, it is not worse at all, or even better. But the price, can it be cheaper, especially the first two kinds of tea. Anderson retracted his thoughts and asked.
