Chapter 158: Stir-fried Tea Comes Out
In late autumn, the sun is not blazing, but the wind is strong, but in the middle of the day, the water stains on the tea leaves have dried thoroughly.
Gu Qingzhu took advantage of the last day to pick half a basket of tea leaves, spread it in the plaque on the long table of the tea house, she sat on the small pestle, slowly and meticulously removed the impurities and residual leaves little by little, and the room was filled with a faint smell of grass.
She had a new copy of roasted tea, and she had the experience of failing a hundred times, and although she didn't know how to make good tea, she knew that those mistakes should not be made again.
According to Gu Qingzhu's experience, in addition to the tea branches, the mulberry sticks are mulberry, in order to facilitate the use, Gu Qingzhu cut the mulberry strips into the general length in advance, and piled them in front of the stove.
Everything was ready, Gu Qingzhu lit the fire and burned the pot, ready to stir-fry the tea.
Seeing that the pot was hot, Gu Qingzhu grabbed two handfuls of fresh tea leaves tightly, threw them into the pot, and churned quickly, as soon as the fresh leaves touched the hot pot wall, they were immediately scalded and turned discolored.
Autumn tea leaves are coarse, even if they have just been moistened by rain, under the heat of the pot, the fresh leaves soon lost their already less water, Gu Qingzhu grabbed ~ kneaded and shaken, and retracted freely, the fresh leaves gradually curled up into strips, and the color of the whole leaf also changed from bright green to dark green.
According to the manuscript, by this time, the autumn tea will be completed.
Gu Qingzhu hurriedly put the tea leaves into the plaque, and took advantage of the heat to knead the tea leaves like kneading dough, but it was not a dead force, but slowly squeezed the water in the tea leaves in a light and light way, until the tea juice adhered to the surface of the tea leaves, and the feel was very smooth and supple.
The pot is heated again, at this time it has entered the drying stage, and there is no need for a large fire, only the fire power of three or five mulberry sticks is enough, Gu Qingzhu poured the kneaded tea leaves into the pot, while shaking and stir-frying, while grabbing ~ kneading the shape, until the tea strips are tightly tightened, some hard and hard hands, before all the tea leaves are gathered into the plaque and spread out thinly, to dry the heat.
Looking at the new tea in the plaque, Gu Qingzhu wiped the sweat on her forehead, her face was slightly red at this time, and her heart was pounding, until this moment, she realized that she had succeeded! She finished the roasted tea in one go!
It was the first time she had made stir-fried tea in its entirety, but it was not like the first time, because these seemingly simple three steps had been practiced thousands of times in her hands, in her mind, and in her sleep, and today it was just a stunning and perfect presentation of them!
After being happy alone for a while, Gu Qingzhu cleaned the iron pot, and made all the remaining tea leaves into dry tea in several times, each time it was smoother and better than the other.
Finally, Gu Qingzhu put the charcoal fire in the stove in a charcoal basin, filled the tea leaves that were not completely dried with a round plaque, and slowly dried them.
At this time, the night outside the house was vast, and the entire Gu family was sleeping in the black curtains, only a lamp was lit in the tea garden, reflecting a busy shadow.
The rich fragrance of tea wafts in the dark, straight up with the wind, under the golden top and yellow wall on the lotus flower, standing two monks with bulging robe sleeves, seem to be attracted by the fragrance of tea, and overlook the star lights at the foot of the mountain together.
"She's made it!" An old man's voice.
"She'll do it eventually!" Another middle-aged man's voice.
They seem to mean the same thing, but when you think about it, there are thousands of differences.
Gu Qingzhu didn't know this, the tea in the house was fragrant, and she was picking out the broken leaves of the tea stalks little by little, as well as the loose and uneven dry tea, so that half a basket of fresh leaves could only get more than a pound of good tea.
After cleaning up the teahouse, Gu Qingzhu stepped on the hazy moonlight and went home, she was happy in her heart, only to feel that the moonlight was gentle, and the autumn dew was not cold, Ming'er, she was going to bring tea to tell Master Ran and ask him to taste it, is it exactly the same as the tea in Faji Temple.
Early in the morning of the second day, in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, there was more than one person waiting to drink Gu Qingzhu's new tea, Gu Qingzhu followed him to the back kitchen, and saw that the master of the fairy wind and Dao bone was also there, and hurriedly bowed.
He deliberately took the snow water collected on the plum blossoms during the heavy snowfall last year and burned it on the stove in a clay pot.
Picked the dry tea with a teaspoon, and said happily: "Senior brother, you see that this tea made by Qingzhu is thin and even, and it is not worse than the tea made by the monks of Faji Temple." ”
Gu Qingzhu was a little weak and blushed and said, "In order to be neat and good-looking, I picked out all the things that are not so eye-catching." ”
Enlightenment smiled and bowed: "Sorting is what it should be, good tea is graded, one price at a time, and the reason why top tea is expensive is not because it is one in a million." ”
The three of them sat at the stone table under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, Gu Qingzhu held the tea cup and didn't dare to drink it, looking at the two opposite nervously and expectantly.
"The brown color is bright, the color is fresh, and the taste is ......," Master Wu said after taking a closer look, then took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it: "The taste is peaceful and long, fresh and sweet." ”
Xiao Ran also took a sip and nodded again and again: "It's a pity that it's autumn tea, look at the bright green and bright bottom of this leaf, if it's spring tea, it looks better, and the aroma is more mellow." ”
"Can it be the same as that of Faji Temple?" Gu Qingzhu asked cautiously.
Wu shook his head and said softly: "One side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, the mountains and rivers are not the same, the wind and rain climate is not the same, the tea is naturally different, the taste is thousands of changes, this is a great pleasure of tea tasting, however, there is a sentence, I can tell you now, your tea is not inferior to the Faji Temple, he may be better in the future, so, why do you pursue the same?" ”
"Really?" Gu Qingzhu's apricot eyes widened in surprise.
"You taste your own tea, and you'll know." Knowing the smile, the clear old man smiled calmly and kindly.
Gu Qingzhu took a sip, it was indeed more tea-fragrant than the tea boiled from the tea cake, sweet and refreshing, and the color was also bright and green, which was pleasing to look at.
In order to thank Ran Ran for giving the manuscript, Gu Qingzhu left all the tea leaves and prepared to make some more to send them.
As soon as Gu Qingzhu returned to Gujiaao, the courtyard was crowded with people in the village, and people who knew her asked her if she had a new tea-making skill, and Gu Qingzhu did not hide it, and generously admitted it.
"I said, how can there be such a fragrant smell of tea this morning, and I thought it was Guanyin Bodhisattva pouring fairy water for us." Xu said with a smile.
Jiang Shi took Gu Qingzhu's hand and said: "Fang Kui is doing business with Qingshan and them in the county noodle restaurant, I don't plan to let Fang Ling work in the weaving workshop next year, I want her to stay in the countryside and learn to roast tea with you." ”
"Hey, Fang Ling doesn't go, my little flower doesn't have a companion, so I simply don't go, I learn to fry tea with Qingzhu, so that I can take care of my family and earn money, the best of both worlds!" Xu Shi blinked.
"My family will also let the child learn to roast tea next year, and the tea garden has a big income, so that you can not do odd jobs outside, so as not to suffer the evil anger of the owner." A woman followed.
This year, the village chief was seriously injured, and owed a huge debt of compensation and medical expenses, although the others were not sick or in pain, but they did not earn any money, and the women felt that it was not easy to mix outside, and they all nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! ”
"I'm just touching the door today, when my skills are stable, I will teach everyone, besides, there is no conflict between selling tea and doing odd jobs, Fang Ling and Xiaohua have double silk skills, and they are all familiar hands next year, and when they go to Dexing Weaving Workshop, the money will not be less." Gu Qingzhu said with a smile.
"That's what I said, but in the end, it's a girl's family, and I really don't expect her to earn much money, so it's better to stay by her side and worry less." Jiang said, pushed down Xu and said, "Sister-in-law Xu, you said yes, right?" ”
"Hey, who said it wasn't, seeing that at the age of someone else, it's not good to always show up outside!" Xu patted his leg and said.
A woman quipped, "Oh, sister-in-law Xu, which village do you have a crush on?" ”
"Go, go, there's no shadow!" Xu smiled and waved.
The courtyard was talking hotly, Zhu stood outside the courtyard with a gloomy face and listened, she was so angry in her heart, one disaster after another in her family, her daughter sold herself as a maid and left with others, and her son married a daughter-in-law, and was taken away by wolves before she could stay overnight.
The most important thing is that she is so unlucky, why is she Gu Qingzhu's good luck, she actually came up with a new way to make tea, and she wants to make money again, and she plans to take the whole village to make money, but obviously there is no family in the whole village!
She held her breath and wanted to make trouble, but she really couldn't find a reason, early in the morning of the first day of every month, Gu Qingzhu prepared a lot of rice oil and put it at the gate of the courtyard, just waiting for the Wu family to come and get it, and there was no nonsense.
In the past, she relied on her identity as an elder, messing around, slamming the door and picking the lock, and she didn't ask for a bargain on Gu Qingzhu, but now she has household registration documents, and she doesn't look at them in her eyes, if she dares to be like before, Gu Qingzhu can sue the yamen, the handsome scholar who came last time is said to be the son of the county lord, and they have a good relationship, if she really goes to court, what good fruit will she eat!
Just when she was thinking about it and had no idea, the Qin family came to call Gu Qingzhu to eat, and when she saw her pinned in the corner, she thought that she was going to make some trouble, so she shouted: "The surname is Zhu, what are you doing secretly!" ”
The upright Zhu seized the opportunity to quarrel with the Qin family: "What do I do, I have to tell you that a widow can't do it!" ”
The Qin family did not show weakness: "I was unlucky when I saw you, my son became a widower overnight, and he was all restrained by you, and he will have no children and grandchildren in the future, you are a fart!" ”
Zhu was said to be sad, so angry that he rushed up and scratched Qin's face, Qin raised his foot and kicked her fat belly, and was flicked by the fat, and couldn't help but kick back two steps.
The people in the courtyard were startled by the noise outside, and they came out one after another to persuade them, and the Zhu family suffered a loss, where was he willing to follow, and he collapsed on the ground, crying and making trouble.
Everyone couldn't, so they had to go home separately, Gu Qingzhu magnified Huang in the courtyard, locked the door, ignored the Zhu family, and left with the Qin family.
Zhu closed his eyes, cried for a long time, listened to the silence around him, opened his eyes and peeked, where were there still people around, only rhubarb looked at her through the courtyard door, as long as she dared to take half a step closer, it jumped out of the fence wall and bit off her neck.
Zhu Shi gasped, suddenly stopped crying, sat on the ground and fell backwards, straight back two steps away before getting up, twisting his fat body and running away.
