Early in the morning, in the owner's office on the second floor of the Baozipu South Store, Li Youran, Chen Chuanzhong, and Liu Senjiang gathered together and sat on the sofa talking and laughing

In the center of the coffee table is a set of delicate blue and white porcelain bowls and tea sets, next to which is a round paper tube in red jujube, near the edge of the coffee table, a stainless steel electric kettle filled with special water, which has just been plugged in for heating

Today is an unusual day, Chef Chen made nearly half a tael of high-quality Dahongpao dry tea from the three taels of fresh leaves he got back last time, and put them into the inconspicuous jujube red round tea tube, which is a specially selected color to distinguish it from Cui Feng

"Two, this tea was just made yesterday, I will take it over today to offer ugliness, try it for the first time, if there is anything that is not in place, you have to take care of it more" Chef Chen first took the precautionary shot, reminding Boss Li and Chef Liu not to expect too much

"Master Chen, they are all their own people, what is there to be to do or not," Li said with a smile

"Yes, Lao Chen, don't be so careful, in fact, neither Boss Li nor I have tasted the real red robe, and it's not up to you to decide what the taste is" Liu Senjiang joked with a smile, and his round face looked oily and shiny

"I said this as if I was in trouble" Chen Chuanzhong glanced at his colleague dissatisfied, and the latter was straight

Taking advantage of the boiling water, Li leisurely took the red paper tube in his hand, opened the lid, and looked at the light outside the window

I saw that the shape of the dry tea is tightly knotted, the color is greenish-brown and fresh, according to the pictures I have consulted, it should be a very good feature, of course, what the final result is, but also depends on the brewing to get it

"To say that just for such a little tea, Lao Chen has been busy these days, and it is not easy to buy several things," Liu Senjiang sighed with emotion

"It's not easy, the first time, things are not complete, it is inevitable that there is some hectic, but I use the highest level of standard methods this time, after the sunning, cooling, greening, frying, initial kneading, re-frying, re-kneading, water roasting, dusting, spreading, picking, re-baking, then dusting, and making up the fire, a total of 14 processes" Chef Chen introduced the process of making tea

"Oh, it's so complicated" Li Youran shook his head again and again, that is, only a person like Chef Chen, who regards studying technology as a supreme pleasure, can have enough patience, if it is replaced by himself, such a toss, it is estimated that he will be annoyed to death

"The so-called heaven rewards diligence to get good tea, naturally you can't be sloppy and shoddy, the street is everywhere, how can you get into Lao Chen's eyes" Liu Senjiang nodded in agreement, good things have always been hard-won, this is the most simple truth in the world

I was chatting about the white steam coming out of the spout of the Tiandian kettle, accompanied by a sizzling prompt sound

When the water was boiling, Chef Chen stopped talking, lifted the kettle and poured the three sets of small blue and white bowls in the tea tray first

Then add about five grams of dry tea to the three bowls, Da Hong Pao tea is fragrant, and there is no need to put too much

The third procedure is to wash the tea, which is poured out in a few seconds after being poured into the water

The fourth course is called the hanging pot high chong, I saw Chef Chen holding a kettle, hanging it on the table at a height of about 30 cm, aiming the spout at the tea bowl, lifting it up and down, and the hot water line fell into the bowl, and the tea leaves were washed and rolled several times and then covered with the tea lid

The whole set of movements was extremely smooth, just like the smooth flow of the red case when he operated the red case, Li Youran and Liu Senjiang both cheered, and at the same time were full of anticipation

In about fifteen seconds, the tea leaves came out of the soup, and Chef Chen motioned for the two of them to pick up the bowl, and he also held up the one in front of him

Although Li Youran is usually used to drinking lazy man tea, he has been with the two chefs for a long time, and he still understands this set of things, he holds the bottom of the bowl with his left hand, lifts the tea lid with his right hand, and gently scrapes it on the surface of the water...,

Suddenly, a wonderful caramel scent overflowed, and slowly turned into a quiet orchid scent, which seemed to fill the entire room

"It's such a high aroma, pure and natural, without impurities, it's rare" Liu Senjiang closed his eyes slightly and praised it

Then there is the color, only to see that the tea soup is clear, gorgeous, dark orange yellow, the tea leaves have been completely stretched, the bottom of the leaves is soft and bright, with red edges, which is also a typical feature of the tea soup

"Ye Hong bordered, okay, the big red robe of the mother tree I saw back then is also like this" Chef Chen's eyes showed joy

After smelling the fragrance and seeing the color, the next step is the most important tea tasting

Chef Chen reminded the two of them not to be in a hurry, to be calm and savor

Li Youran picked up the tea bowl as he said, tilted it, slowly inhaled a sip of tea soup, closed his eyes, and felt it quietly

The mouth and throat are quickly filled with rich floral fragrance and sweetness, the taste is mellow and long-lasting, and when swallowed slowly, the throat and lower abdomen feel a sweet and smooth hot flow, which is extremely comfortable

There is also a strange feeling, which is completely different from Cuifeng tea, but he can't say it

"Okay, the floral fragrance is rich, the taste is fresh and sweet, the tea is long and long, and it is really a good tea" Liu Senjiang nodded again and again, his face was excited

"Sure enough, the rock rhyme is fully revealed, as if you are at the top of Wuyi" Chef Chen's mood also fluctuated a little

By the way, Yan Yun, that's the word, I just tasted it, but I can't describe Li Youran's sudden realization

After brewing, Liu Senjiang and Li Youran praised the fragrance at the bottom of the cup, and asked Chef Chen how this tea compares with the mother tree Da Hong Pao?

Chef Chen let out a long breath and said slowly but surely:

"The taste and aroma are slightly different, but the quality is generally the same, especially the rock rhyme, which seems to have the same effect."

In an instant, Li Youran's heart was full of joy, the legendary superb red robe was finally successfully planted, and the space land once again confirmed its powerful power to nourish all things

"By the way, Lao Chen, don't be too busy to draw conclusions, I heard that the big red robe born by the Jiulong Mother Tree in Wuyi Mountain can be brewed nine times, and there is still a lingering fragrance, which is the most rare feature," Liu Senjiang put forward the idea

"Lao Liu, don't drill the tip of the horns of the cow The Nine Dragons Big Red Robe Mother Tree, which is over a thousand years old, is moistened by the spring water seeping out of the rock crevices, and the growth environment is unique, so rich, how can it be comparable to this tea tree? I estimate that it is very rare to have seven or eight bubbles" Chef Chen felt that the big red robe in front of him had reached such a quality, which was already an unexpected joy, and he couldn't ask for too much

"The tea tree is not ginseng, and it is not judged by the year, this is actually very simple, everything is in front of you, you will know it when you try it" Li Youran saw that the two of them had some disputes and hurriedly made suggestions

Liu Senjiang naturally agreed, and Chef Chen didn't say much when he heard this, so he added water to the kettle, boiled it and then brewed it for the second time

In this way, the three of them drank tea and chatted together, and no one disturbed them in the happy office, because Li Youran had greeted him in advance, saying that there was an important tea tasting event this morning, and everything else was postponed

Time gradually passed, and before I knew it, the big red robe in the gaiwan tea had been brewed for the eighth time, and the aroma was still pleasant, but it was much lighter than the previous brews

Chef Chen and Liu Senjiang were both surprised by this, and Chef Chen tried to calm his excitement, picked up the kettle and began to take the ninth bubble

After a moment, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and his face became complicated

"How?" Liu Senjiang asked eagerly

"Whew, the fragrance is still there," Chef Chen replied with another long breath

"It's amazing" Liu Senjiang looked at the leftover tea in the cup and his eyes widened

The tea big red robe has completely reached the quality of the mother tree big red robe, if you take it outside to say it, it is estimated that no one will believe it, I am afraid that it will be a liar

Li Youran didn't care about being cautious at this time, anyway, he had been with Liu Chen and the two chefs for a long time, and he was not an outsider...,

"Master Chen, rush again," he said in a resolute tone

"What, Tenth Bubble?" Liu Senjiang felt that this was a bit too crazy for a while

"Okay" Chef Chen agreed without thinking about it this time, picked up the teapot and rushed down, and then closed the tea lid

Twenty seconds later, the lid of the tea opened, and the three pairs of eyes looked into the cup, and the color of the tea soup at this time was light, and it seemed that it was not much different from white water

Chef Chen picked up the tea bowl, brought it to his lips for the tenth time, and took a sip

The other two looked at him with staring blankly

There was a look of shock in Chef Chen's eyes, and he couldn't seem to believe it, so he took another sip

"Lao Chen, how is it talking?" Liu Senjiang asked

"I'm really convinced, and there is a hint of orchid, although it is very light, but it is definitely there," Chef Chen put down the tea bowl and said affirmatively

"How is this possible?" Liu Senjiang was surprised, he didn't care about any hygiene, he reached out and took the tea bowl in front of Chef Chen, turned the noodles and tasted it

Sure enough, a trace of innocent orchid fragrance was still firmly swimming in the water

For a moment, the three people in the room were stunned and silent

Haha, Li Youran suddenly raised his head and laughed

The big red robe of the space actually has the tendency of blue out of blue, which is completely unexpected

The two chefs Liu Chen glanced at each other, unconsciously infected by him, and laughed heartily

Especially Chen Chuanzhong, such a superb red robe actually came from his hands, and it was the first time he tried to make it, and at this time, he felt the same as when he passed the strict examination and got the junior chef qualification certificate

After this tea making, he has a deep understanding of the art of tea ceremony, and he has really benefited a lot

"Master Chen, I have long said that with your skills and understanding, it is reasonable to make such a big red robe," after laughing, Li Youran said to Chef Chen from the bottom of his heart

"Actually, there are still a lot of green spots in this, you may not feel it," Chef Chen is as modest as ever

"Lao Chen, there's no need to be so modest hehe, it's really a pleasure to partner with you, and there will be good tea to drink in the future" Liu Senjiang stood up, walked over and patted Chef Chen on the shoulder

Li Youran also encouraged Chef Chen, saying that the tea-making skills are becoming more and more proficient, and he will provide more fresh leaves for him to use in the future

In the end, Li Youran explained to the two chefs that the big red robe tea tree was cultivated through a special process, which involved top-secret technology, and told them not to spread the word about it

The two of them naturally nodded in agreement, and then left the office contentedly (to be continued)
