Although Lu Chang's words are few, the handsome men and beautiful women are alone, which undoubtedly produces a subtle feeling.

Shi Xuan has never been alone with young men, and Lu Chang's elegance and calmness undoubtedly had a great influence on Shi Xuan.

A girl's heart is always difficult to figure out, especially when Lu Chang asked her to come out to pick tea, which aroused Shi Xuan's strong interest, what was he going to do.

Lu Chang was not used to drinking boiled tea in this era, it was very bitter and turbid, and there was no fragrance and elegance of tea in later generations.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of tea trees here, and since he has the conditions, he wants to make zuò green tea by himself.

There are many types of tea, and the classification methods are different, and they should be classified according to the origin, season, and tea tree varieties.

There are also differences based on appearance, shape, color, aroma or manufacturing method.

The tea leaves here happen to be simple green tea, which does not need to be fermented, eliminating many steps.

After picking enough tea leaves, the two walked back together silently.

After walking for a while, Shi Xuan took the lead in breaking the silence and asked with some curiosity: "General, picking these fresh tea leaves, are you planning to make zuò by yourself?" ”

"Yes, Miss Shi, although the craft of boiling tea has been around for a long time, I am not used to it."

"General, just call me Xuan Xuan, or call Xiao Xuan."

"Alright, Xuan Xuan. I wanted to make zuò a tea that looks green, refreshing, and has an attractive color, but it tastes fragrant and has an aftertaste. I call the tea leaves made by this process green tea. ”

"Really? I'm looking forward to it, isn't it troublesome? ”

"It's not troublesome, it's a little simpler than the previous process. Actually, Xuan Xuan, you also have time, so it's better for us to cooperate. I tell you about the process of making zuò, you buy and make zuò tea here, and I am responsible for external sales. What do you think? ”

"This ...... You are a great general, is it not good to do this kind of thing? ”

"Xuan Xuan, I want to raise a lot of troops, and I don't want to add too much burden to the people in Jiangnan, it is necessary to have enough money to support the army and do business. People in the world have too many prejudices about doing business, in fact, we should not artificially distinguish between high and low, all beings in the world are equal, and all walks of life also need to be treated equally. ”

Lu Chang's words made Shi Xuan have a further understanding of her, and her favorability rose sharply. In this day and age, what warlord would care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people? It's not bad if it's not a scourge, Lu Chang is undoubtedly very different.

"Since the general can afford Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan also wants to do something for Jiangnan. The little sister will definitely do her best to do this for the general, as for the cooperation, the little sister does not want to be paid, not profits, the general needs money more. ”

"This ...... I'm embarrassed. Okay, since Xuan Xuan is willing to contribute, I thank you in advance. Also, the process of making zuò should be kept secret, and you know that businessmen are everywhere and flock to it once they find a business opportunity. Lack is precious, curiosity is precious, and there is no profit without secrets. ”

"Little sister knows that she will keep a secret for the general."

After a while, the two returned to the hut. Pei Shiju and Su Wei were still chatting, and Lu Chang came in and said, "You continue to talk, we are still busy with things, and we can't take care of you." ”

Su Wei and Pei Shiju glanced at each other, and the two of them actually got together for a while, this ...... It's a wonder situation.

Is there something wrong with these two?

The hearts of the two old fellows were full of gossip......

Shi Xuan led Lu Chang to the thatched hut in the east, used the existing stove, and opened it simply because of the ugliness

The processing of green tea is simply divided into three steps: finishing, rolling and drying, of which the key lies in the first process of initial production, that is, finishing.

The fresh leaves are passivated by the activity of enzymes, and the various chemical components contained in them are basically changed by thermal action under the condition of no enzymes, so as to achieve the quality characteristics of green tea.

Finishing plays a decisive role in the quality of green tea.

Through the high temperature, the characteristics of enzymes in fresh leaves are destroyed, and the oxidation of polyphenols is inhibited to prevent the red transformation of leaves; At the same time, part of the water in the leaves is evaporated, so that the leaves become soft, creating conditions for rolling and shaping. With the evaporation of water, the low-boiling aromatic substances with grass gas in the fresh leaves volatilize and disappear, so that the aroma of tea is improved.

Lu Chang was in a hurry and had to explain to Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan was a very clever person, he knew what process he could learn, and he soon became a powerful helper.

This is followed by another process, rolling, which is the process in which green tea is shaped.

Tong guò uses external force to make the leaves kneaded and lightened, rolled into strips, reduced in size, and easy to brew. At the same time, part of the tea juice is squeezed and attached to the leaf surface, which also plays an important role in improving the taste concentration of tea.

The kneading process of making green tea is divided into cold kneading and hot kneading.

The so-called cold kneading, that is, the green leaves are kneaded after being cooled; Hot kneading is the kneading of green leaves without spreading and cooling.

Young leaves should be kneaded cold to keep the bright yellow and green soup color at the bottom of the tender green leaves, and old leaves should be kneaded hot to help the cords tighten and reduce the breakage. This time, both of them were picking young leaves, so they had to use the process of cold kneading.

The last step is the drying of the tea leaves, and the drying method has three forms: drying, frying and drying.

Under the conditions of this era, there is only one way to fry dry, Lu Changyi explained, Shi Qingxuan is responsible for burning the fire, Lu Chang is responsible for roasting tea, and the cooperation between a pair of men and women is seamless.

The two old guys are not idle, Lu Chang and Shi Xuan are busy here, and the two people outside have four thief eyes looking straight here, probably trying to find some clues between the two.

Lu Chang and Shi Xuan both knew that the two old guys outside were looking here, but they were busy enough, who could take care of this, let them see if they liked.

Although there are not many things, every process is indispensable, and Lu Chang and Shi Xuan are busy with this meal, and they work for most of the day.

People are too busy to take care of anything, and they have long forgotten about the pockmarked thing of hunger.

They don't know that the belly is hungry, and some people can't stand it.

The two old fellows had nothing to do, and they were so hungry that their front belly was pressed to the back of their back, and they were so hungry that they were not uncomfortable.

Lu Chang held the tea in his hand and sniffed it with his nose, and the refreshing fragrance was intoxicating.

Shi Xuan looked at Lu Chang's appearance, he also grabbed a handful of tea leaves and sniffed it, it was really different!

"It's successful, let's go, let's go make a cup of tea and taste it." It's a pity that there are no glasses, otherwise they would be pleasing to the eye. ”

"What is a glass?"

"Oh, this thing hasn't appeared yet, it's just a kind of transparent container. You think, this tea is dark green when brewed, and the cup is transparent and very pleasant to watch. ”

"Since you know, let's make zuò."

"Hey, not now. I'll talk about that later. ”

The two of them took the tea leaves and walked happily to the front room......
