Chapter 185: Ancient Tea Trees in the Western Regions
Chapter 13
Picking tea leaves, this seems simple, but in fact it is also a technical work, just like this master Wang's hands are like a bird's beak, every time he will peck at the top of a branch, the first point is to pick a bud and a leaf for the first time, the length of which is not more than a finger long. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Such buds usually require about 53,000 to 55,000 buds to fry a pound of tea. And this part of the tea, after the stir-frying, the brewed tea color is tender and green, the aroma is high, the taste is fresh, mellow, and sweet, it is definitely the best in the tea.
And that peck, is the young leaves after picking the buds, generally speaking, that is, two leaves, the tea here, as long as the method is concocted, can also be tea fragrance into the nose......
Hearing Wu Mei'er whispering in her ear, He Jinghui couldn't help but secretly smash her tongue, she couldn't imagine that there were so many Taos in the tea alone, which was really eye-opening.
After about an hour's work, the stove had been set up and a fire had risen, and here, Master Wang and his two apprentices had already picked a small bucket of tea leaves and poured them into a thin iron pot.
Master Wu looked at the fire in the stove, asked the disciples to add a little firewood to it, and then set the cauldron a little away from the candlestick, and began to knead and stir-fry.
Soon, a strong aroma of tea began to overflow here, and everyone sat or lay quietly, quietly admiring the Wang master frying tea there.
Soon, after a short time of stir-frying in the first pot, I heard Master Wang drink it. "Change the pot!"
The apprentice next to him immediately brought another iron pot, and Master Wang poured the pot of tea leaves in his hand into the pot and continued to fry it, but this time, the iron pot was farther away from the fire than the first pot, and Master Wang seemed to be kneading dough with great force.
He Jinghui was amazed. "Mei'er, why does he have to change the pot when he stirs up tea, can't he use one pot?"
"Of course not, fried tea, need to be divided into three steps, one is called the raw pot, the second is the green pot, the third is the cooked pot, when the raw pot is born, the fire should be strong, the pot should be hot, so that it is good to use the fire temperature, with a uniform speed to kill the tea leaves, when the leaf quality is soft and the leaf color is dark green, it can be replaced with a green pot, the green pot mainly plays the role of continuing to finish and preliminary kneading, and the pot temperature is slightly lower than the raw pot. Because the friction between the tea and the pot wall is relatively large, the force should be greater than that of the raw pot......"
Wu Meier understated, but she spoke eloquently, listening to He Jinghui was really full of emotion, this woman is really not simple. "Mei'er, I knew that you were very proficient in tea ceremony, but I also thought that you were also so good at making tea."
Hearing He Jinghui's praise, Wu Meier pursed her cherry lips and smiled lowly. "Because I like tea, I went to learn some, and Master Wang is my teacher who learned to make tea."
"No wonder, with such a famous teacher's guidance, Mei'er's tea-making skills must not be low, but it's a pity that you are not in good health now, otherwise, I really want to taste the tea you fried with your own hands, it must be delicious."
Wu Mei'er looked at He Jingxuan's sunny smiling face, her heart was slightly confused, she looked away, and nodded without thinking about it. "Of course, there is no problem, when I return to Ruolan County, I will pick it by myself and fry the tea leaves for you by hand."
Looking at Wu Meier's bright and moving autumn eyes, at this moment, He Jinghui couldn't help but be in a trance, if he hadn't heard Master Wang shouting to change the pot over there, maybe his pig brother's face would have been detected by Wu Meier.
He Jinghui quickly turned his head away and laughed dryly. "Then I'll thank Mei'er."
Seeing He Jingxuan's somewhat confused and averted gaze, the corners of Wu Meier's lips couldn't help but lift happily, it seemed that he didn't have feelings for himself, but what was he afraid of? Or are you really confused?
All this can only be proved by time, but no matter what, being able to go through so many ups and downs with him is an indescribable luck for Wu Meier.
In the past, it is not important, the important thing is the present, it is the present, it is good to be able to walk together, through thick and thin.
The fried tea leaves, generally speaking, are not drinkable, and need to be left for about half a month before drinking, but now I am trying tea, so naturally I don't pay attention to these.
After a while, Master Wang's disciple handed the brewed tea to Wu Meier and He Jinghui.
Smelling the rich fragrance, He Jinghui raised his eyebrows lightly, and then took a sip, only to feel that the tea was fresh and refreshing, and couldn't help but praise it.
As for Wu Meier, it is three smells and three products, and then she drinks the tea cup in one go, and shows her joy on her pretty face. "This tea is really a treasure, I don't know what Master Wang thinks?"
"Yes, the tea brewed from the tea leaves of this tea tree, the tea is fragrant and fragrant, the aftertaste is sweet, it is definitely a rare tea species, Miss, should we transplant the tea trees here back to the tea garden in Ruolan County?" Master Wang also put down the tea bowl with a look of enjoyment, and said to Wu Mei'er with an expectant face.
After Wu Mei'er thought about it, she looked sideways at He Jinghui, who was thoughtful, and opened her mouth to ask. "What do you think?"
He Jinghui was stunned, but since Wu Meier asked herself, He Jinghui naturally told the truth. "If it's me, it's not impossible to transplant it, but this old tea tree is too old, I still think it's better not to move, in case I go back, because of the water and soil, the old tree is not beautiful."
"It's better to pick some of the various ages from among their descendants, and then find the tea seeds of the old tea trees, transplant them back, or choose a good place in Ruolan County to plant them......
Wu Mei'er nodded thoughtfully. "He Gongzi is reasonable, although I love tea, but I can't cut off the tea here because of the good of one person, Master Wang, according to He Gongzi's words, don't move the mother tea tree, and the descendants of the mother tea tree, each choose one or two to dig out the ......"
Master Wang was also happy, and took the order to go, first after he personally selected the tea trees to be transplanted, he called his disciples and the servants of the Wu Mansion to start digging the tea trees.
After more than three hours, almost seven or eight tea trees were excavated and the roots were wrapped, and it was finally completed.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and according to Yang Dadart's suggestion, the group simply camped under this mountain cliff and went on the road the next morning.
And on the way back, they no longer entered the Windy City, but from outside the Windy City, they went straight to the south, after all, the third prince of the wind was unfriendly to them, so why bother to go in again to make trouble for themselves.
And Wu Meier's body is also getting better day by day, hurrying and hurrying, it took many days, and finally saw the signboard of Boss Long's roast chicken restaurant fluttering in the wind.
"Finally I saw Longji roast chicken shop again......" The horse gradually stopped, and He Jinghui looked at the familiar house and let out a long breath.
"After four or five days' journey, we can return to Ruolan County." Yang Jun also let out a long breath, but his eyes were still looking around vigilantly, and the territory of the head of the cottage was not too far from the Longji Roast Chicken Shop.
"We must keep a low profile, and we must not make any mistakes. If we let Na An Mingyang know our itinerary again, it will be a big trouble. Yang Jun took a deep breath and said beside He Jinghui.
After thinking about it, He Jinghui nodded thoughtfully. "Well, that's true, Miss Mei'er must not have anything to do with her. Let's go, it's still early today, let's rush to the Longji Roast Chicken Shop and stop for a while, and then continue to move south, not to spend the night here. ”
Even if he becomes infinitely powerful, it is impossible to block a hundred, but An Mingyang is a cottage over there, and there are many people, and now, the strength is not enough, so it is natural to avoid it, but after returning to Ruolan County, if you have the strength in the future, you must have a good time with this owner of An Dazhai.
"If you can't die, you old rascal who dares to rob Wu Meier as a bride, my brother's name will be written upside down." He Jinghui secretly said ruthlessly.
"The owner...... Boss? A junior walked cautiously to the bottom of the big tree, and Miss Long Zihaolong, who was leaning against the shade of the tree and dozing off, heard the call and stared impatiently. What about the soul? What is my aunt called?! ”
"That boss, that group of people is back again, it's He Gongzi and them, and now they are all fast into the town." The little second accompanied the smiling face, and quickly and quickly explained the situation.
Long Zihao couldn't help but be stunned, and jumped up directly. "He Gongzi, are they back? Haha, great, I'll take a look! Before the words fell, Long Zihao, who was walking heavily, threw down the shopkeeper and rushed out of the yard directly.
