"I can make a fortune, I can make a fortune, fried tea only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Northern Song Dynasty are still drinking fatuan tea, as if even high-temperature steamed tea has not yet appeared. If I just make the fried green tea, it won't be sent directly. The more Zhao Weiji thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but drool.

"Grandpa, grandpa, you're okay." Rue Xiang on the side saw saliva flowing from the corner of Zhao Weiji's mouth, and thought that she was sick again, so she couldn't help but ask with some worry.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Weiji hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and then explained a little embarrassedly: "I was thinking about something just now." By the way, is there any fresh tea in the house? ”

"Well, it doesn't seem to be. Fresh tea is not good and cannot be saved, so the government generally does not buy this. Now there is only group tea in the house, what do you want fresh tea for? ”

"Something, I need fresh tea to experiment with a bit. If you don't have it in the house, can you buy it outside? Zhao Weiji asked.

"I guess so, but I need to look for it, and it may take some time."

"Oh, and it's okay to take your time. Find someone to buy some and come back, the cheapest one will do, but it must be fresh. Let's go buy two catties and come back. ”

"Then I told Zhao Wu to buy it, you wait." Rue Xiang bowed lightly to Zhao Weiji, and then turned around and went out to find Zhao Wu.

After seeing Rue Xiang go out, Zhao Weiji fell into thought again, he was thinking about the steps of roasting tea. Zhao Weiji knows how to fry tea, although he has not fried it himself, but he has learned. This is thanks to the fact that he participated in a tea club in college, although he was tricked into it. But this tea house has really seriously participated in social practice activities about tea, including visiting and learning about roasted tea. Zhao Weiji is very smart, basically he can memorize any skill just by looking at it once. All you need is to practice it and then integrate it with your body.

"When I think about it, the most basic steps of roasting tea are three: finishing, rolling, and drying. Then I need a cauldron, and an earthen stove. Zhao Weiji thought about the most basic roasted tea process and shouted outside the door: "Is there anyone, come and help me do something." After a while, a man came in through the door.

"You are?"

"I'm your butler Zhao Xin."

"Butler? Zhao Xin? Then you're going to use a spear. Zhao Weiji teased with a somewhat strange expression.

"Young Master, did you think of me?" Zhao Xin asked with some surprise.

"No, no, I'm just asking." Zhao Weiji hurriedly shook his head and denied. Then he vomited very mentally and said: "I'll go, Zhao Xin, I really know how to use a spear." Do you want to yell at the time of the fight, Demacia. ”

It turned out that this Zhao Xin was originally a soldier and was good at using a spear. used to be with Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei. Later, because of the failure of the Northern Expedition to Liao, he withdrew from active service and entered the Wei Palace, as a housekeeper, and later the King of Wei was forced to death by Song Taizong. followed Zhao Weiji, the second son of the county duke, to the county mansion as a housekeeper.

"That Uncle Xin, you go and prepare something for me. You go and help me prepare a cauldron, and then help me build an earthen stove in the backyard. ”

"If you have a pot, you can have it in the kitchen, and if you have an earthen stove, you can build it quickly. But, young master, what do you want these things for? Zhao Xin asked a little puzzled after listening to Zhao Weiji's instructions.

"I'm naturally useful, so go ahead."

"Okay, young master, then you wait, I'll go and order someone to build the stove." After speaking, Zhao Xin turned around and walked out.

After Zhao Xin went out, Zhao Weiji picked up the teacup next to him and took another sip, smacked the taste and said, "I'm still not used to the tea made from this kind of group tea." When I get the roasted green tea out, I'm sure I'll send it. ”

……

After about an hour, Zhao Wu returned to the mansion from outside, carrying about two catties of tea in his hand.

"Grandpa, do you see this tea shop? This tea is not very good. Zhao Wu asked with some apprehension.

"Well, I'll see." Zhao Weiji flipped through the tea leaves with his hands, grabbed a few more and twisted them, and then said, "It's okay, I was supposed to do the test first, and I didn't need any good tea." Although this tea is a little old, it is still quite fresh. Will be used. In this way, you can take these teas to the backyard and spread them out to dry, and then I will be useful. ”

"Okay, grandpa." After speaking, Zhao Wu took the tea and turned around and went to the backyard.

After another hour, the fresh green tea that Zhao Wu bought was almost dried, and then the stove in the backyard was also built, and an iron pot was set on it. In front of the iron pot stood Zhao Weiji and the confused Zhao Xin, Ruxiang, Zhao Wu, and the cook.

"Young master, what are you doing here?" Zhao Xin asked with a puzzled face.

"yes, yes." Rue Xiang was also puzzled.

"Me, I'm going to stir-fry tea."

"Stir-fried tea, can you still copy tea? Can you drink it when it is fried? At this time, Zhao Xin asked even more suspiciously.

"Of course, you can drink it, and it's better than the current steamed and fermented group tea. Don't believe it, wait and see. Zhao Weiji patted his chest and replied very confidently.

At this time, basically, the first and most important step of roasting tea is basically ready. Zhao Weiji instructed the cook to light the stove, and then put on gloves and stood aside waiting for the pot to be hot. After a while, the pot was almost hot. Zhao Weiji took about one or two tea leaves and poured them into the pot, and then kept crushing them in the pot with his hands, churning the tea leaves. After repeating this for two or three minutes, Zhao Weiji stopped his movements, and then asked the cook to help pour the tea leaves from the pot into a basin. Then, Zhao Weiji took off his gloves and began to knead them in the basin, and began the second step of roasting tea, kneading. After kneading it for six or seven minutes, after feeling that the tea leaves were a little smooth and sticky, Zhao Weiji instructed the cook to reduce the heat of the earthen stove. At this time, Zhao Weiji poured the kneaded tea leaves back into the pot and started the last step of roasting the tea, drying.

After the tea was poured back into the pot, Zhao Weiji instructed the cook to start scooping. After four or five times of repeating, Zhao Weiji took a wooden spatula and began to stir-fry. After about a minute of stir-frying, he told the cook to extinguish the fire. Introduced the tea into a bowl, then clapped his hands and said to Zhao Xin and Ruxiang, "It's fried, how does it feel?" ”

"It smells like it's smelly, but can it really be boiled and drunk?" Zhao Xin looked at the fried tea leaves, and then asked again, and then returned to the road.

"Of course it can be drunk, and it doesn't have to be so troublesome to cook. Zhao Wu, you go to the kettle to boil water. Rue, you go and bring the tea bowl. I'll show you how to drink this stuff right away. ”

After hearing Zhao Weiji's order, Rue Xiang and Zhao Wu immediately acted according to the order. After a while, Rue Xiang took the lead and came back with the tea bowl. Then after a while, Zhao Wu came back with a pot of boiling water.

At this time, Zhao Weiji asked Rue Xiang to grab a pinch of tea leaves and put them in the bowl, and then filled the tea bowl with boiling water. After the already cooled tea leaves are blanched with boiling water, their own fragrance is emitted again.

"Well, ah, although it is not as fragrant and delicious as the good tea of later generations, it is also better than the current 'soup'." Zhao Weiji sighed after tasting the freshly made tea. Then he beckoned Zhao Xin and them: "Don't look at it, make a bowl by yourself and taste it." ”

Zhao Xin and the others were suspicious, and they also came to a bowl of Zhao Weiji's process of making rue tea just now.

"Huh? Well! The taste of this tea is really different, there is a fragrance, and although it is a little bitter at the beginning, it has a sweet aftertaste after swallowing. Quite delicious. After Zhao Xin took a few sips, he made a pretty good evaluation.

"Yes, grandpa, the tea made in this way feels much more acceptable." Rue is also full of praise.

"What's the matter, my father didn't lie to you." Zhao Weiji said with some pride.

"It's just, Grandpa, how did you come up with such a way to make and boil tea?" Zhao Wu asked with some confusion.

"This, this." Hearing Zhao Wu ask this, Zhao Weiji was suddenly a little embarrassed. "You can't tell them I'm here through time." Zhao Weiji thought to himself.

"It must have been taught by the gods, although the young master had lost his soul and forgot before, but it must have been taught to the young master by God in order to compensate our young master during his coma." Zhao Xin saw that Zhao Weiji was a little embarrassed, so he yelled at Zhao Wu.

As soon as Zhao Weiji heard Zhao Xin's words, he immediately reacted, and then said, "Yes, it is taught by the immortals in the dream." It's just that I'm afraid that you won't believe it when I say it, so it's a little hard to say. ”

"Oh, that's it, God bless." Zhao Wu didn't know why he heard such an explanation, but he just felt that it might be God's favor, so he didn't ask any further.

"So grandpa, are you going to make money by coming up with this new way of making tea?" Rue Xiang thought for a moment and asked.

"Of course, do you think this new tea can make money?" Zhao Weiji asked the four people next to him.

"I think it's okay, it tastes good, and I feel like there is room for improvement." The cook was the first to reply.

"I think it's okay, this tea can be drunk just by brewing, and it doesn't need to be cooked in trouble, which is good." Then Rue Xiang also said.

"yes, yes, I think this thing seems to be very profitable." Zhao Wu also nodded and said.

"Okay, in that case, let's take action. Chef, since you say there is still room for improvement, then this matter is up to you. You can see the process of my roasting tea, there are still nearly two catties of tea leaves, you go back to the kitchen to find the person in the kitchen to take the tea and study it again. Strive to improve the taste better. Zhao Wu, you go to the market to inquire about the market of tea and the situation of various tea merchants. Hearing that everyone agreed to use this to make money, Zhao Weiji also felt confident, and actively instructed his subordinates to prepare to enter the tea market. Everyone is also in full swing preparing to take action

But at this time, a discordant voice sounded next to him: "This idea is very good, and I also think I can make money." But young master, you need a lot of fresh tea to make new tea. Roasted tea also needs to be done by hand. We don't have the extra money to do this. ”

Zhao Xin's words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished everyone's enthusiasm.

"This ......, uh......." [Newcomer, new book, ask for support, thank you]
