Chapter 7 Tea Making (Click for Recommendation Ticket Collection)
Huangshan Maofeng is one of the top ten famous teas in China, and was given to friendly countries as a national gift a hundred years ago, with a great reputation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The reason why it has such a great reputation is that the tea has a slightly curly shape, resembling a bird's tongue, yellowing in green, showing silver quill, and with golden fish leaves. When it is brewed in the cup, the mist is topped, the soup color is clear and slightly yellow, the bottom of the leaves is yellow and green, the taste is mellow and sweet, the aroma is like an orchid, and the charm is profound. Because the newly made tea leaves are covered with white hair, the buds are sharp and peaky, and the fresh leaves are picked from the peak of Huangshan Mountain, so the tea is named Huangshan Maofeng.
The high-quality grade or above the Huangshan Maofeng is made of fresh leaves of the new shoots of a bud and a leaf, with excellent quality, white and heavy. Therefore, after understanding, Su Zhongkang planned to use one bud and two leaves with poor material quality as a practice. When he has enough experience, he will make a third-class tea with a bud and a leaf of better quality one last time, so that his chances of completing the task will be relatively much greater.
After doing the work of waking up the tea set, he didn't care about resting, so he hurriedly took out a Huangshan tea with one bud and two leaves. As soon as he took it out, the room was filled with the fresh smell of tea, as if it had just been plucked from a branch. When he looked again, the buds and leaves were as fresh as if they had just been plucked from the branches.
The quality of these fresh buds and leaves is too high, they are all the same size, the color is good, and there is no residual leaf or mixed leaves.
"Are you sure you gave me one bud and two leaves, not one bud and two leaves?" Su Zhongkang asked suspiciously.
System description: The tea provided by this system is planted in a 100% imitation of the head source tea area, where the mountains are high and the water is sufficient, warm and moist, perennial clouds and mist, and the selection of one bud and two leaves is one out of a hundred, so the quality is outstanding, please put a hundred hearts on the host.
Oops, these excellent quality buds and leaves really have such a bullish origin. Su Zhongkang couldn't help but be amazed, and silently nodded countless likes in his heart.
Originally, Su Zhongkang had little confidence left, but after seeing the quality of these one bud and two leaves, he slowly rose countless steps. The quality of one bud and two leaves is so high, so where will the quality of one bud and two leaves be at the beginning of development, or even the quality of one bud and one leaf? Su Zhongkang didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Although the system is very fucked up every time, I have to admit that it is a good product! If the system knew that Su Zhongkang had praised it for the first time without money, I don't know if it would be so frightened that it crashed immediately. However, this sentence is really Su Zhongkang's true words!
At the same time, in the two minutes that Su Zhongkang's heart was agitated, his hands were not idle. He laid out this large portion of tea leaves and dried them in several bamboo plaques, and then put them in batches in another sunroom.
This sunroom is also the only high-tech product in this side hall, it simulates sunlight exposure, by adjusting the intensity and time of sunlight exposure, it can complete the tea withering that takes half a day or even a few days in a short time, moderately evaporates the water in the tea leaves, reduces the activity of cells, and achieves a much better effect than normal sunlight exposure.
During this time, he quickly lit a fire on the earthen stove to heat up, and when the tea leaves were exposed to sunlight for about the same time, he poured about 500 grams of tea leaves into an iron pot that had reached about 150 degrees.
The tea fell into the iron pot and made a sound like frying sesame seeds, and after hearing this sound, Su Zhongkang's face showed a smile, and this time point was not bad. But he didn't dare to take it lightly, as soon as the fresh leaves were put into the pot, he used his hand as a spatula, and stir-fried it like this.
He inserted one hand into the bottom of the pot, rolled up the tea leaves, raised them high in the air, and then gently lowered them. Although his gestures are very light, the frequency of stir-frying is not slow, about 50 to 60 times per minute. He is like an experienced tea master, raising high, spreading, and scooping clean, although he sweats in a few minutes, he doesn't care at all, and it is not at all obvious that he is actually making tea by hand for the first time.
Half an hour later, the surface of the buds and leaves in the iron pot lost their luster, the green qi also disappeared, and a tea fragrance was revealed. Su Zhongkang hurriedly wiped the sweat on his face with his other hand, and then scooped up these buds and leaves and placed them on the kneading stone pier next to him.
The tea leaves that had just come out of the pot emitted bursts of white smoke as soon as they touched the cold stone pier. Su Zhongkang squinted his eyes slightly, shaking off the buds and leaves while they were hot. In order to keep the buds and leaves intact, his movements are slow and gentle, and the buds and leaves are slowly curled into strips in his hands. When the white is revealed and the color is green, he sets them aside to cool and wait for baking.
In one afternoon, Su Zhongkang finished and rolled all the buds and leaves in batches, left them for a period of time, and then baked them in batches on the baking basket, and the baking temperature was divided into four times from high to low, until the final was completely dry.
By the time the whole set was finished, it was already dark, and Su Zhongkang was already tired and paralyzed. He wanted to go upstairs to rest, but as soon as he saw the final result, he instantly lost his sleepiness.
He clearly remembers that at the beginning, he grasped all the key points and completed them well. But why is this happening?
When the system judged that this batch of Huangshan Maofeng tea was not even a fourth-class general product, Su Zhongkang's heart was half cold. When he stared blankly at the black and gray tea ball, his heart felt as if there were ten thousand grass and mud horses running by.
It's not what I wanted, and it just doesn't fit the script. What about the protagonist halo that is good? He shouted in his heart, it was not that he could not accept failure, but that he could not accept such failure, without warning.
In the end, he was still puzzled. He didn't stay to clean up the mess, but hid his face and ran back upstairs, which was really embarrassing. He thought that it was the first time he was making tea, and with these many golden fingers, how could he reach the fourth-class general quality.
Now, the starting point has been so low that it has reached the dust, what else can I use to improve! Su Zhongkang lay on the bed and meditated, and finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, when Su Zhongkang was still lying in bed, having a nightmare of rolling buds and leaves all night, he was woken up by the sound of car horns.
When he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go downstairs to teach this group of unqualified guys a lesson, he found that several people had already entered the first floor of his house.
What made him feel bad was that he found that the two Fuso people he had seen that night were actually among them, and the people next to him were extremely respectful to them.
"Who are you, and what are you doing at my house?" Su Zhongkang asked weakly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
