【002】Steaming tea process
When they walked away, Zhou Min looked at Zhou Yi, who was bleeding from his head, and said with a crying voice: "Brother, how are you?" ”
Zhou Yi wiped the blood from his forehead to the corners of his eyes, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "I'm fine." ”
"He also said it's okay, it's all bleeding, let's go, I'll take you to get some medicine." Zhou Min helped Zhou Yi to stand up and go to the backyard to wash up and change into new clothes, Zhou Min served Zhou Yi to lie down, watching the wound on his face still bleeding, and couldn't help but sob.
Zhou Yi couldn't see a girl crying the most, he grinned, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, sister, don't cry, it's not good to cry." ”
"Brother, you wait at home, I'll go get a doctor for you." Zhou Min stood up and walked outside.
Zhou Yi took her hand and said, "Don't, don't go, it costs more money to ask for a doctor, it's all a trivial matter for me, I'll be fine in a few days, don't go." But when he said this, he couldn't help coughing, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Min was anxious when he heard this, he didn't care about anything else, and said: "No, you have to rely on me for this matter, now that my father and mother have gone out to buy tea, you are the pillar of this Daguan Tea Workshop, but you must not have anything to do." ”
Soon after, the doctor invited to help Zhou Yi take the pulse, and looked at the wounds on his body, the old doctor said: "Fortunately, they are all skin injuries, I will help you prescribe a prescription here, go to the pharmacy to get some medicine and come back for him to take it, there should be no big problem." ”
Zhou Min took out the little bit of silver he had on his body and stuffed it into the doctor's hand, and sent him away with great gratitude.
took the prescription, but Zhou Min was embarrassed, Zhou Yi understood that she had no money, Zhou Sheng borrowed Wang Xuerong's silver to buy good tea, and the Qin family took money to gamble, these days the money for selling tea has been robbed by Wang Xuerong and them, even the only little money on his body has become the doctor's consultation money just now, where is the money to grab medicine?
Seeing Zhou Yi's blue nose and swollen face, Zhou Min finally made up her mind, she unbuttoned a knot on the top of her clothes, revealing a large piece of pink neck......
Zhou Yi's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he said in horror: "Sister, what do you want to do?" ”
"This is the jade pendant that my father helped me put on when I was just born. Ever since my dad left, this has been the only thing he has left me. Zhou Min took off a pendant from his neck and said with great nostalgia. This piece of jade is green, only the size of a fingernail, with a greasy luster, and you can see that it is not ordinary.
"What do you mean......" Zhou Yihu hesitated.
Zhou Min sniffed, let out a long breath, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Brother, I'll take it as a treat, just exchange money to catch medicine for you." ”
"Nope." Zhou Yi refused without thinking about it, "The doctor said that I am fine, and if I don't take medicine, at most, it will take a longer time to recover, this jade pendant has extraordinary significance for you, and it can't be done." ”
Zhou Min pouted and said, "Now that I have the final say, you will wait for me obediently at home and don't move." ”
Looking at the back of her leaving, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel painful, it seems that whether it is in the eleventh century or the twenty-first century, without money, he is destined to live at the bottom of the bullying.
"Mom, what about the Great Song Dynasty, wait, I, Zhou Yi, am destined to wrap 100,000 yuan around my waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou."
After half an hour, Zhou Min came back, with tears on his face, presumably reluctant to give up his biological father's relics, but when he saw Zhou Yi, he pretended to have a bright smile on his face, shook the medicine bag in front of Zhou Yi, and said, "Brother, I came back from buying medicine, waiting for me to decoct the medicine for you." ”
"Hey......" In this situation, Zhou Yi could only sigh.
In the following time, Daguan Tea House did not open directly, and Zhou Min carefully took care of Zhou Yi.
After a few days, Zhou Yi felt that he was almost better, and he began to think about how to make money, which is the most important thing now. That Zhou Min used his biological father's only relic as a medicine for him, and he had already made up his mind to redeem this piece of jade pendant no matter what.
Zhou Yi recovered, Zhou Min was also more lively, Zhou Yi saw it in his eyes and was very pleased.
On the third day of recovery, Zhou Yi once again entered the tea shop opposite.
The second time he entered the Yunwu Tea House, like last time, he found a suitable location and began to observe the teahouse, and at the same time, his mind turned sharply, thinking of ways to make money for his Daguan Tea House.
At a table not far from him sat a few scholar-looking people, arguing fiercely. Zhou Yi listened carefully, but these people were arguing about the Three Kingdoms.
"It is rumored in the world that Fu Long and Feng Chian have one, and they can settle the world, but Feng Chick, who is one of the two candidates in Ke'an World, will be so unbeaten, and the first battle of the leader will be shot by random arrows, is it that Sima Hui mistook Pang Tong, or did Pang Tong deceive the people of the world?"
Listening to their quarrel, Zhou Yi was bored, drinking the tea in front of him alone, he ordered not some expensive tea, two pennies, served in a large porcelain bowl, and was not particular. Most of the time, this kind of tea is drunk by people who come into the city from the village or are extremely thirsty to quench their thirst, so it has no taste, and Zhou Yi even feels a little bitter.
But as long as you can afford it, there is still good tea here, for example, those people who are fighting for the Three Kingdoms next to them are red-faced, and they drink it for ten cents, not only is the taste much purer, but also they are filled with beautiful teacups, and the style is higher than Zhou Yi's porcelain bowl I don't know how many levels.
"Come on, come on, hey, guys, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm tired of giving way, thank you."
Zhou Yi just drank the tea in the bowl, but saw a few people coming here, they were carrying a big bamboo basket, which contained tea that had just been picked from the mountain, at this time it was March and April, although the climate of tea before the Ming Dynasty, but the quality of tea was still very good.
Three or four boxes of fresh tea were transported to the backyard, and although Zhou Yi had followed the expedition to discover the ruins of the tea workshop, he had never seen how the fresh tea was processed, so he sneaked in to see it when others were not paying attention.
At this time, everyone drinks steamed green tea, and the so-called steamed green tea refers to the finished green tea obtained by the tea-making process of using steam to kill.
According to the "Tea Saint" Lu Yu's "Book of Tea", its preparation method is: "Sunny, pick." Steaming, pounding, patting, baking, wearing, sealing, and drying tea. ”
In the courtyard, the large steamers used to steam fresh tea have already been placed, and they feel a little similar to those steamers in the steamed bun shop, but there are subtle differences when you look closely.
Immediately after that, the fire was made to steam the tea leaves, and it took two pillars of incense to envelop the entire stove in the surrounding heat, so stop adding firewood at this time, and pour out the tea leaves when the steam was gone.
At this time, the color of the tea leaves is more turquoise than when it was just picked, with the fragrance of tea leaves, which is intoxicating. Zhou Yi felt that he was simply appreciating art.
Pour it into a flat basket made of bamboo chips, wait for the excess water on the tea leaves to evaporate, and then a few people come to knead the tea, and knead all the tea leaves very softly, so that the fragrance of the tea can be fully emanated, and the stems on the tea leaves are not too hard.
After a small half an hour, wait for the tea leaves to be initially formed into strips and then kneaded, while kneading and pressing through the hot air to dissipate water, at this time, several large baskets of tea have been reduced by seventy, already like the appearance seen in the tea.
But this is not the end, after several more rubbing, the tea has gradually turned dark green, and then put on the hot iron plate to dry, and then the work is finished, and the tea leaves are only as many as a basket.
Witnessing the process of steaming tea thousands of years ago, Zhou Yi felt satisfied, if he could return to the 21st century, this would inevitably be one of the capitals to brag about and show off to his colleagues.
After these masters left, Zhou Yi secretly went out and returned to his Daguan Tea House.
