As early as the beginning of August, the acre of tea trees planted has grown half a foot taller, and Ye Quan has picked a lot of new leaves, separated them according to varieties, and prepared to fry some tea leaves by himself. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

In the past, Taoyuan Village was isolated from the outside world, and the villagers liked to drink tea, so they went up to the mountain to pick wild tea and fried it by themselves, so Ye Quan saw the process of roasting tea when he was a child.

First prepare a special cauldron, after heating, put the fresh tea leaves into the pot, and then stir-fry, this process is called 'killing', the main thing is to evaporate the water in the fresh tea leaves, when stir-frying, we should always pay attention to the drying process of the tea leaves.

When the tea leaves are 'finished' to a certain extent, the tea leaves can be taken to dry, this process dù mainly depends on experience, not too early, because of the water, many tea leaves are easy to stick together, too late, the tea leaves may be fried.

When roasting tea leaves, you should also pay attention to flipping them so that they are heated evenly, and then dry them over slow heat.

The above is the process of frying local tea, but in fact, roasting tea is a technical work, tea has green tea, yellow tea, white tea, green tea, black tea and black tea, roasted tea has screening, withering, fermentation, killing, rolling, drying, refining and processing and other processes, depending on the different tea, the process is also different.

For example, there are those that do not need to be fermented, those that need to be semi-fermented, those that need to be fully fermented, and those that need to be finished, and there are those that do not need to be finished, and so on.

There are various tea stir-fry machines on the market, but the type of tea stir-fried is not very good, and because it cannot control the severity of zhì, it will break or overheat, while the artificially fried tea is generally more complete, fresh, and the taste is relatively pure.

Because Yequan planted a total of eight tea varieties such as Longjing, Fuyun, Zaobaijian and Xinyang, it was divided into eight times of frying to obtain eight kinds of tea leaves, such as Maofeng, Dahongpao, green tea and Baihao Yinzhen.

Each tea leaf spring picked about two catties, and only about half a catty of dry tea was made.

The process of making white tea is the simplest, Ye Quan can't wait to brew a pot of white silver needles with space spring water, only to see that after the hot water soaks the tea leaves, the tea leaves are covered with hairs, the color is bright, the soup color is orange and yellow, the nose tip is fragrant, and the tip of the tea leaves is first erected in the air to the water surface, and then slowly sinks, when erected, such as fresh bamboo shoots unearthed; When it sinks, it falls like a snowflake, which is extremely wonderful.

After taking a sip, I immediately felt that the taste was sweet and mellow, and the aftertaste was endless, Ye Quan fried it for the first time, and there must be some shortcomings, but the tea and spring water are produced in a magical space, and it is still the best tea that Ye Quan has ever drunk.

Ye Quan did not enjoy such a good tea, so he sent some to the old patriarch, uncle and others, and asked someone to send a catty to his grandmother's family.

*************************

On this day, Ye Quan had free time, and took the tiger girl out for a stroll, mainly to check if there were any mutated plants like the longan tree in the yard among the hundreds of hundred-year-old trees around the village.

There are a lot of ancient trees in the village, Ye Quan used his spiritual power to detect them one by one, and found no surprises, so he walked towards the willow forest at the entrance of the village, there are more than 20 big trees in the willow forest, all of which are more than 100 years old.

The "willow tree" that the locals say is not the weeping willow, the scientific name is maple poplar, there are many aliases, such as hemp willow tree, water hemp willow, chicken tree, maple willow, centipede willow, ingots tree and wonton tree, etc., it is a kind of deciduous tree, can be as high as 30 meters, it is everywhere on both sides of the Pingjiang River, and there are many old trees that are more than 100 years old.

The fruit of the maple poplar tree has two wings, like flies, connected in strings, and when Ye Quan was young, he liked to use these fruits to line up Chinese characters on the ground.

After entering the summer, a kind of big green worm can often be seen on the maple poplar tree, the big foot is more than ten centimeters, the whole body is covered with hard thorns, it will spit out silk cocoons, this kind of big green worm, many people are afraid of it like a tiger, in fact, it neither bites nor stings, many bold children are playing in their hands, and it has also become a prop used by some naughty boys to frighten people.

The leaves of maple poplars are slightly toxic and can be extracted from pesticides, so they should not be planted near fish ponds.

If the villagers of Taoyuan Village raise too many ducks and not enough feed, they like to mash the leaves of maple poplar trees, mix them with some water, and pour them on the ground with earthworm droppings.

If there are people in the local area who have rotten feet, they will also use this kind of leaf to mash and apply it to their feet, although there is pain, but a few times it will be good.

There were no mutated plants among the more than twenty maple poplar trees, and Ye Quan was about to go to the elementary school to inspect a few old camphor trees next to the teaching building, an old man with glasses, holding a small bucket in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right hand, was walking towards him slowly.

Ye Quan hurriedly said hello: "Teacher Wei, go fishing?" ”

"It's Ye Quan, your planting base is in full swing right now, and you're still in the mood to hang out here." The old man smiled.

Ye Quan said: "I don't understand when I go, at most, I can do it, and those things are better left to professionals." ”

The old man smiled slightly, and went to the bend of the Pingjiang River on the other side of the sandbar.

There are two families with surnames in Taoyuan Village, one of which is a door-to-door son-in-law recruited in the village during the Republic of China, the first son is surnamed Ye, and the second son is surnamed Gu with his father; It's still a household, and it's the old man Wei Bo in front of him.

Wei Bo is the third generation of educated youth, when the policy change educated youth returned to the city, but stayed in Taoyuan Village and married a wife and had children, before retirement was a teacher in the village primary school, but also Ye Quan's enlightenment teacher, the current primary school principal and teacher Wei Jian is the son of the old man.

When Ye Quan came to the elementary school, it happened to be recess, and forty or fifty children were playing on the playground.

In recent years, with the increase in the number of people who go out to work, some children have also gone to the city with their parents, when Ye Quan was in primary school, there were at least forty or fifty people in a class, and sometimes there were two classes in one grade, but now there are only more than ten or twenty people in a grade, and there are only three teachers, in addition to Wei Jian, who is also the principal, there is also a teacher from the village and a young female teacher from other places to teach, and it is said that he is still a person from a big city.

Seeing that the teaching building built in the eighties was very old, cracks could still be seen on some walls, and the eight imitation Songti slogans printed on it had been blurred, and the original yellow was almost invisible, and there were not many sports and entertainment equipment on the playground except for two shooting racks and a few single parallel bars, Ye Quan couldn't help but scold himself for being careless.

Now that I have a rich financial foundation and have shown my wealth, I can donate some books and sports goods to the school, and if there are potential safety hazards in the teaching building, I should also build a new one, including the junior high school and high school I have studied, and I should go to see it if I have the opportunity.

After walking through the whole village, I really let Ye Quan find two other mutant plants, one is the old camphor tree by the river, growing under the flood barrier built in the village, this camphor tree has a history of at least four hundred years, the trunk of the three people can not hug it, the branches are luxuriant, there are two very symmetrical branches four meters from the ground, like two arms of people, this camphor tree because of its body shape, some people think that it is a sacred tree, and often people burn paper and incense at the bottom of the tree, praying for peace and health.

There are even people who, in accordance with local customs, recognize the old tree as a godfather and godmother, this kind of thing Ye Quan is not strange at all, because he also recognized a "godmother" when he was a child, and it is even bigger, it is a mountain that covers an area of more than ten miles, and it is said that a dragon has been suppressed!

Ye Quan didn't know that this old tree was because of the mutation that people offered incense; It was still a strange mutation after being offered incense, which was beyond the scope of his knowledge, and even the spatial wisdom brain Lingxi knew nothing about it, and he couldn't explain the reason.

It is still a hundred-year-old peach tree, which was struck by lightning on a rainy night seven years ago, and its main trunk was broken, and it was about to die.
