Chen Guang likes this kind of natural scenery very much, of course, only if you like it, it is impossible to live in this kind of place, as if you have always wanted to travel but the idea of living in a tourist area is not strong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even though it's late autumn, the mountains and forests are still lush and green.

Chen Guang and the others came to the top of the mountain, which is a relatively low part between the two mountains, relatively speaking, a place that can be climbed by pure manpower, and a stockade similar to a bandit base has been built here, which is usually guarded by two people.

Wu Zhu has already arrived, because it is the first transaction, he actually leads the team by himself, and his thoughts are the same as Chen Guang.

When the two met again, they were both dressed in formal clothes, looked at each other and smiled, Chen Guang said, "Don't come to the prince?" ”

Wu Zhu also smiled and said, "Don't come unharmed." ”

He continued: "This tea is the last point of the year, the newly planted tea trees have not yet reached the picking period, this is about to enter winter, they are all old, I have been transferred from all over the world." ”

Indeed, at this time of year, it is definitely not easy to find young buds, as for whether there is fresh tea picking in autumn, Chen Guang did not dare to pack tickets, saying that there is no, it has something to do with the climate, since Wu Zhu brought tea, let's take a look and talk about it.

"Hard work." Although Wu Zhu is also to make money, but he goes around collecting tea, which is also a chore, Chen Guang praised and asked, "What about the tea, I'll take a look." ”

Seeing that Wu Zhu was so keen on money, Chen Guang almost thought that this guy was just a businessman.

The tea leaves are picked up in a basket, a total of more than a dozen baskets, although it looks like a lot, but once it is made into tea, it is good to be able to fill a basket.

Chen Guang came to a basket of tea leaves, first looked at it, to be honest, the overall color was still a little different from what he imagined, and it was mixed with some old leaves. He put his whole hand into the basket, grabbed a handful of tea leaves from the bottom, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, and encouraged, "Not bad." ”

He took a sprout that looked the most tender and said to Wu Zhu: "Generally speaking, the tea leaves can be picked when they grow like this, and when the buds just come out, the leaves that exceed three inches will be terrible." ”

Wu Zhu was very surprised and said, "To be so tender?" ”

Before, when Chen Guang said that he wanted young shoots, he thought that as long as the leaves did not completely turn green, he would be fine, but he didn't expect Chen Guang's requirements to be more demanding today.

Chen Guangdao: "If you want to make the best tea, you naturally need to use the best raw materials. ”

This should be regarded as a punishment for Wu Zhu for stealing things, haha.

Wu Zhu didn't say anything, and thought about it in his heart, if it's a big deal, he would make a little less, but he still earned. Because this part of Guangdong is facing the east, there is plenty of heat, and the growth of animals and plants is faster.

After inspecting the tea leaves, Chen Guang asked people to approve the weight, and then directly allocated the full amount of silver, and the people brought by Wu Zhu put these boxes containing silver coins in baskets and carried them back to Guangdong. And Chen Guang also had the tea bags and transported back to the tea processing factory.

The tea leaves are spread out on a large smoothed round stone plate in the courtyard, and all the tea masters look around the stone plate.

"Wow, there are such tender tea leaves at this time, this Yue country is really peculiar." Master said.

In everyone's impression, tea leaves are picked in spring and summer, and now it is late autumn, and the tea trees are old, how can there be such tender tea leaves.

"Is it necessary to be so tender to make tea? Wouldn't that be a waste? "A master said that he thinks that tea trees can be made into leaves, as long as they are not too old and have no tendons.

Although they were very satisfied with the raw material, and even thought it was very luxurious, Chen Guang was not satisfied, he said: "In this way, you can pick out all the tea leaves in it, which are more than two inches long, and throw them away." ”

"Huh? This ...... "Everyone was amazed, such a tender leaf, and still want to lose it?" It's too extravagant, too extravagant.

Sun Peng said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this tea is already rare and tender, it is enough to make tea, and the raw materials for making that tea in the Jin King's Mansion last time are also at this level." ”

Chen Guangdao: "It's because the raw materials were not good enough last time, so I think it's hard to drink, this time we must keep improving, what's the matter, is there a problem?" ”

When it came to this, what else could there be any problems, Sun Peng stopped talking, and said: "Everyone hurry up and choose, the old one will be used for you to practice, don't really lose it." ”

Chen Guang was embarrassed, why didn't he think that the old leaves could let them practice their hands, after all, everyone had never done it.

So everyone began to select the tea leaves, and soon they were classified, and Sun Peng and another teacher, Yang Cheng, went to guide these newcomers to make tea for the first time.

It is worth noting that at this time, there was no process of roasting tea, and roasting tea was also a concept put forward by Chen Guang, and the requirements and processes of roasting tea in later generations were used straightforwardly.

Chen Guang plans to use this batch of tea leaves today, and ask Master Sun and Master Yang to make some black tea and some green tea.

The difference between black tea and green tea is only in the process, not in the raw materials.

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.

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

Kneading is a process that shapes the shape of green tea. By using external force, the leaves are kneaded and lightened, rolled into strips, the volume is reduced, and it is 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.

After rolling, the tea leaves are dried or dried, and they can be considered to be finished products.

Black tea, on the other hand, must first go through the process of withering.

Withered refers to the process of fresh leaves losing water for a period of time, so that the certain hard and brittle stems and leaves become wilted and withered, which is the first process of black tea production. After withering, the water can be properly evaporated, the leaves are soft, the toughness is enhanced, and it is easy to shape. In addition, this process and the grass flavor disappears, and the tea fragrance is about to appear, which is an important processing stage to form the aroma of black tea.

The next step is kneading, which is the same as green tea, which gives the tea a shape and is easy to brew.

The third step, unlike green tea, black tea also needs to go through a fermentation.

Fermentation is a unique stage of black tea production, after fermentation, the leaf color changes from green to red, forming the quality characteristics of black tea and red leaf red soup. Under the action of rolling, the cell membrane structure of the tissue cell is destroyed, and the permeability increases, so that the polyphenols are fully in contact with oxidase, and the oxidative polymerization is produced under the enzymatic action, and other chemical components are also profoundly changed accordingly, so that the green tea leaves produce red change and form the color, flavor and quality of black tea.

The principle is this, but in order to make a good taste of tea, it must go through countless exercises, including the technique of roasting tea, the temperature of baking, etc., once it is not done well, the taste will be very different.

Yang Cheng took the tea leaves that were too old in Chen Guang to teach the students as teaching materials, while Sun Peng left the most essential part, and Chen Guang planned to use this part of the tea leaves to make a little black tea and a little green tea.

This time, Sun Peng needed to do it in front of Chen Guang, and what he didn't know was that Chen Guang was not only watching alone at the scene, but thousands of eyes in the live broadcast room were also looking at him, and among them was a retired tea master, and the tea making method was also taught to Chen Guang by him. At this moment, he is drinking tea, sitting in front of the computer prepared by his grandson, like teaching a student, meticulously watching every step of Sun Peng's tea making.

Sun Peng's every move, this tea master sees it, once he feels that something is wrong, he will put it forward, and this opinion will be conveyed to Sun Peng through Chen Guang's mouth.

Sun Peng was very surprised that Chen Guang was proficient in making tea, because as we all know, His Royal Highness the King of Jin made a multi-spindle spinning machine that shocked the world, and now he actually understands tea like this, and even has his own unique views on how much to do every action, he feels very appalling, this carpentry and tea, the cross-border is so big, and it can play so slippery, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is really His Royal Highness the King of Jin.

After more than an hour, Sun Peng's first pot of tea was discarded, and Chen Guang felt that the taste was wrong, which made Sun Peng very frustrated, but Chen Guang comforted him and said that it didn't matter, do it again. The second time Sun Peng was much more careful, and the first time Chen Guang had a very detailed guidance, the second time the tea tasted much better, and Sun Peng himself drank some, he felt that the first time it was very delicious, it was simply the same as the queen mother's jade liquid, but the second time it was more delicious, which also aroused his spirit of exploration, how good can this tea be?

After working for a long time, he finally made a pot of tea and passed Chen Guang's acceptance, of course, this is green tea. Later, Chen Guang instructed him to make a pot of black tea. In addition to these two cans of tea, he decided to reward the other tea leaves to these recognized and guards of the tea factory, and everyone had a share. Everyone has never drunk tea made in such a way, and as soon as they drank it according to Chen Guangjiao's way of drinking tea, they immediately fell in love with it like an addiction, and they couldn't stop it, and several drank tea all afternoon, and couldn't sleep at night.

Of course, this is not something that Chen Guang can control, Chen Guang took two cans of tea and quickly returned to the capital from the tea processing factory. Because, in a few days, it will be Chen Ang's birthday, and he must rush back to congratulate Chen Ang on his birthday. If you can't catch it back, then it's really going to be a dog.
