After eating breakfast, Chu Jie took Dian Wei to the street, and the two found a blacksmith shop, spent 300 yuan to buy Bintie, and asked the blacksmith to make two short halberds and some small halberds that could be used for projection. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After explaining to the blacksmith, the blacksmith asked them to pick it up in a few days, and Chu Jie took Dian Wei out of the blacksmith shop and walked around the street.

Chu Jie wants to find a storefront, preferably about three floors, since he plans to make tea, he must open a teahouse to make tea famous.

The two came to the main road connecting the city gate in the western part of the city, observed to see if there were any suitable buildings, and found a target after looking for it for a long time.

A three-storey inn, but the building looks a little dilapidated, and the business has been robbed by some newly built inns nearby.

Chu Jie asked Dian Wei to guard the door and not let anyone enter, he straightened his clothes and walked into the inn, and when he entered the inn, he saw a thin middle-aged man who was settling something at the counter, and Xiao Er was dozing off the table.

Chu Jie walked to the counter and knocked on the table gently, the middle-aged man raised his head and saw Chu Jie and hurriedly spoke: "Is the guest officer staying in the hotel or eating?" ”。

"Two dogs!! Every day, I just know to sleep, and I don't see any guests coming! The middle-aged man had just finished asking Chu Jie, and then saw Xiao Er dozing off and immediately shouted loudly.

The little second was so frightened that he immediately jumped up and then immediately looked around and said, "Where is the guest officer?" Where's the guest officer? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head when he saw Xiao Er's appearance, then turned to Chu Jie and said, "Let the guest officer smile!" ”

"It's okay, I came here today to stay in the store, and I didn't eat, and I have a business to talk about with the shopkeeper!" Chu Jie waved his hand and said.

The middle-aged man said with a puzzled face: "The guest officer doesn't live in the store and doesn't eat, so I don't know what business you want to talk to me about?" ”

"I see that your business is weak, I don't know if I have any intention of selling?" Chu Jie said.

The middle-aged man had planned to sell the dilapidated inn for a long time and then go to other businesses, but because the inn was dilapidated and the price he quoted was too high, no one was willing to take it over.

"I have this plan, but I don't know if you can afford it," the middle-aged man said as he touched his chin and beard.

"In Xia Chujie, I don't know what the shopkeeper is called? How much does this inn sell? Chu Jie said.

The man's eyes rolled and said: "The contemptible surname is Li Mingqian, you can call me the money shopkeeper, this inn is handed down from my ancestors, if you buy it sincerely, I will sell you for one hundred and fifty yuan." ”

You must know that Chu Jie's big mansion was bought for only two hundred and forty yuan, and the price of this broken inn is one hundred and fifty copper coins, and the shopkeeper of this money is crazy for money.

"Since the money shopkeeper is not sincere in selling, then don't bother in the next place, farewell!" After Chu Jie finished speaking, he turned around to leave.

"Hey! Ay! I said Brother Chu! Don't worry! I'll talk about it later! Wait! Okay, okay, I'll sell it for 130 dollars. Seeing that Chu Jie turned around to leave, the money shopkeeper hurriedly walked out of the counter and grabbed Chu Jie and said.

"I said the money shopkeeper! Look at how tattered your inn is now! Do you think you'll spend it on it? Chu Jie stopped and turned around and said.

"Brother Chu, whatever price is offered, as long as it is suitable, I will sell it" The money shopkeeper said when he saw Chu Jie stop.

"Ahem! Cough! "Money shopkeeper! I told you that this inn is in tatters like this, and I want to rebuild it if I buy it! The protagonist says as he looks left and right.

"I waited in the room for a long time and didn't see a guest come in, your business is so bleak, it's miserable, so I see that you are also ancestral, I will suffer a loss, and I will buy it for a hundred times." Chu Jie said with a look of great loss.

The money shopkeeper didn't speak, he lowered his head and was thinking, Chu Jie thought in his heart when he saw this, "I'm afraid I want to add fire to this money shopkeeper." ”

Saying that, he pretended to look at the inn, walked to the staircase entrance upstairs and held the staircase handrail with his hand, and only heard a "crunch" sound of the staircase handrail without a trace, and the staircase handrail was directly pushed crooked by him! He also jumped away as if he was frightened.

"Look at it, it's all like this, you can't rely on one person anymore!" Chu Jie patted his chest with his hand and said with a frightened expression.

The money shopkeeper was fed up with the drag of this inn, if he had sold the inn earlier, maybe he would have made a fortune in other businesses now, he saw this and said with a ruthless look: "Okay! Sell it for a hundred! ”。

Chu Jie gave the money, the two signed a good contract and got the official mansion sealed, this inn became Chu Jie's, waiting for the money shopkeeper to pack up his own things in the inn and dismissed the guys, Chu Jie and Dian Wei closed the door of the inn and returned to the house.

When he returned to the house, it was already noon, so he asked his subordinates to call Duanmu Ci, and Chu Jie told him about the purchase of an inn, and then asked him to invite the craftsman to tear down the inn and rebuild a two-story building according to the style of the teahouse that the two of them had negotiated last night.

After Duanmu Ci left, Chu Jie asked his subordinates to call Ma Ben over, and it didn't take long for Ma Ben to come to the living room.

Chu Jie said to Ma Ben: "Big cock! Did you buy back the fresh tea leaves I bought last night? ”

"Big brother! I bought it back and put it in the side house," Ma Ben replied

"Good! You take some and take them to the kitchen, I'll wait for you there," Chu Jie said.

Not long after coming to the kitchen, Ma Ben came to the kitchen with a small cloth bag, Chu Jie took the cloth bag, opened it, and saw that it was full of green tea leaves.

Chu Jie took the tea leaves and began to make green tea according to the green tea method provided by the audience, and the green tea manufacturing process is divided into four parts: picking, killing, rolling, and drying.

There is no need to pick, and now there are fresh tea leaves, and they can start to finish directly.

Finishing is the first process of green tea production, and it is also the key to making it green tea rather than other types of tea. The enzyme activity in the fresh leaves is reduced by killing, and when the subsequent process is passed, the other chemical components in the tea are basically some physical and chemical changes without the action of enzymes, thus forming the quality characteristics of green tea.

Of course, Chu Jie doesn't have a modern so-called finishing machine now, but he has a local method, that is, to fry in a pot, and heat the wok specially made by the blacksmith shop.

Chu Jie poured the fresh leaves into the pot and covered it, let it sit for 2 minutes, and when the water vapor overflowed from the mouth of the pot, he immediately went to the lid and stir-fried, which is the so-called killing.

When the green leaves reach the hand kneaded into a ball, slightly elastic, the tender stalks are not easy to break, and the color is dark green, Chu Jie took out the tea leaves in the pot and let them cool.

After it has cooled, the second step is rolling, the purpose of which is to shape the shape of the green tea and improve the flavor concentration of the finished tea.

Chu Jie divided the finished tea leaves into three balls and wrapped them in a white cloth into a ball and twisted them tightly, then asked people to call Dian Wei and Di Qing, and the three of them were one group per person.

Use your hands and feet to further curl and form the tea embryo under the action of rubbing, pressing, turning, kneading and other forces.

In the live broadcast room: "Brother Jie, please take my knees!" With a fierce general to rub the tea ball!! ”

“66666666……”

"! Awesome!! Let that guy Dian Wei have a little less strength, the tea group is about to explode!! ”

After a period of kneading and twisting by the three of them, the tea embryo formed a lump as large as a fist and as small as a walnut.

The next step is to let the tea leaves dry, that is, to dry them with firewood, and tell the people to pay attention to the firewood, and a group of people left.
