Chapter 136: Green Tea

Several people were very happy about the success of the finale, but the procedure was not finished, Feng Fei spread out the tea leaves, and began to teach everyone to knead them after the temperature dropped.

There are generally two kinds of tea rolling, old tea leaves choose to be rolled while hot, so as to avoid breakage, and fresh tea leaves can be cold twisted.

Feng Fei didn't do it either, so he took the information and began to read, and then the remaining few people listened and pondered the kneading of the tea leaves, and the kneading is also divided into many kinds, modern machinery is used, and few are used manually, and according to the different ways of rolling, the tea leaves are also of different shapes, round and long.

Feng Fei chose a long strip, because it is easier to get than a circle, just roll it with your fingers, only seven or eight taels after a pound of tea is finished, but the number of tea leaves has not changed, this time only Feng Fei and a few people to do it, after the kneading, everyone unanimously decided that the kneading process has no technical content, there is no need to keep it secret, and it is completely possible to let people come to help, so as not to cramp everyone's fingers.

Rubbing his fingers that were a little spasmodic, Feng Fei took the tea leaves to the yard to dry, and finally dried this step, not only by sun exposure, but also by frying and drying, but the kneaded tea leaves still contain a lot of water, and if you use it directly to fry tea, the humidity is too great, and after a little sunbathing, after evaporating some water, you can use it for frying.

After kneading the tea leaves, it was noon, the sun was not bad, the kitchen had already prepared the wine and food, and several people came to the backyard after lunch, set up an iron pot for stir-frying, and after heating it was heated by the stone cassia to fry the tea.

The old man had been cooking and eating by himself before coming to the farm, and as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he had a unique view of plants, and it was most suitable for him to stir-fry it.

After a while, the fragrance of tea wafted in, Feng Fei motioned to Shi Cassia to stop, stepped forward to take a look, pinched up a little more and asked, "It should be almost." ”

At this time, the tea leaves were basically the same as those that Feng Fei had seen in later generations, but he didn't know what the taste of brewing was, after letting the thoroughly dried tea leaves cool, Feng Fei took out a cup in the expectant eyes of several people, one cup per person, put a little tea in each cup, and then added water to brew.

The originally clear water turns green in a few seconds after entering the cup, and at the same time, the dry curly tea leaves slowly stretch out, revealing its true face, and as the heat rises, the unique fragrance of green tea penetrates into everyone's nostrils.

Shi Cianming took a deep breath and said with an intoxicated face, "Sure enough, it's a good tea, just smelling this smell, you know that it is definitely not an ordinary thing, and it is not in vain our efforts all morning." ”

Hong Million is a rough man, he has never been interested in things like tea tasting and Taoism, if you get a jar of wine, maybe he will give you an evaluation.

Picked up the teacup, didn't care about burning his mouth, took a big sip of "sloppy", smashed his mouth for a while and said, "Don't say it, it's different from the previous tea,"

Feng Fei smiled and asked, "Oh? Brother Hong, don't you like to drink tea, do you also have research on tea now? ”

Hong Million said to Feng Fei before that he has a lot of tea at home, but he never drinks it, only when he comes to the guests, he takes it out of etiquette and cooks it, and usually he only drinks boiled water in addition to drinking.

Seeing Feng Fei teasing himself, Hong Million didn't blush, and said, "Don't look at you, Brother Hong, I'm a rough person, but I still have a good eye for good things, otherwise I can be a pawnshop, besides, what you Feng Fei made out, which is not a good thing, just take out one and give it to the emperor, you can mix it with a prince, so ah, this tea is definitely not bad." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, it turned out that he felt that this tea was good because of these, and couldn't help but despise him in his heart, Shi Cianming also took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it, and then said, "Well, it smells of tea, and it tastes even more fragrant, and the color is cool, maintaining the original color of the tea, and the tea is also green, the entrance only has the fragrance of tea, there is no taste of those messy spices, the most important thing is that it is easy to drink, and there will be a strong tea fragrance after brewing for a while, and this alone will definitely sell well." ”

Feng Fei smiled and said to Hong Wanwan, "Look at Shi Lao, this is an expert,"

Shi Cianming waved his hand and said, "Connoisseurs don't dare to be, but they like to drink tea, the original tea, not so much tea, but more appropriate medicine, only when the tea is alone, the taste is bitter and difficult to swallow, after adding various spices, it is easy to cover up the original tea fragrance, and there are more things added, it will inevitably be bad for the body, your tea is not, only the tea leaves, it is so fragrant and refreshing, after drinking the mouth, the old man has drunk tea for decades, and only today do I know what is the real tea. ”

Hong Million was not interested in Shi Cianming's emotion, he was a businessman, and he also knew that this tea was a good thing, so he immediately asked, "Brother Feng, since this tea is so good, we have to do our best to find a buyer, but we have to give it a name first." ”

As soon as his words came out, Shi Cassia Ming and Ma Wu both touched their chins and thought, Hong Million smiled and said, "This is still a thought, this is Brother Feng's invention of the tea making method, of course you have to use his ......"

Hearing this, Feng Fei hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Stop! Brother Hong, don't use my name anymore, this tea can't be called Shenwang tea! ”

Several people saw Feng Fei's expression with a firm expression, but they didn't know why he was reluctant to use his own name to name it, generally speaking, everything he invented would be named after the inventor, which was an honor.

"Brother Feng, what do you mean by this?" Hong Million asked in surprise.

"Anyway, you can't use the word God King anymore to name ......," Feng Fei said with a wry smile.

"Then you have to come up with a name, you invented it, what do you say it's called?"

Feng Fei had already thought about it in his heart, this method of making tea is used to make green tea, he pretended to think for a while, and said, "It's better to make it simple and easy to remember, the tea is green, and the tea brewed is also green, so it's better to call it green tea." ”

"Green tea?"

After hearing this, several people nodded, and Shi Cianming said, "This name is good, simple and easy to remember, and it is in line with the state of this tea, so that people can immediately understand the meaning of this name when they hear it, and cooperate with the brewed tea." ”

After deciding on the name, several people worked hard all afternoon, and the remaining tea leaves were made, and the finishing machine could put twenty catties of tea at a time, so the process of finishing was relatively fast, and when it was time for the next kneading, Feng Fei called all the people on the farm here and asked them to help knead the tea leaves.

There is no secret to this process, they don't understand how the tea is to this point, even if they understand, this era is only this finishing machine, even if there is a skilled craftsman to copy one, the metal he uses, the process of making zuò is also very different from the modern technology of making zuò finishing machine, tea making is a meticulous work, a slight difference in the pool, either a failure, or a difference in taste of 108,000 miles.

With the help of his subordinates, all the tea leaves were finally kneaded before dark, and the tea leaves were spread out on the bamboo mats, but they were not hung outside, but in the house.

It's autumn now, the night is cooler, and the night is humid, it is easy to make the tea damp, Feng Fei is ready to move to the yard to dry early tomorrow morning, and when the sun comes out.
