With the full support of Qianxue and the full cooperation of manpower and material resources, Lingyun's new tea system is even smoother than expected. However, the first batch of tea is only in the experimental stage, so the amount is also very small. The first batch of tea leaves fried by Lingyun were all freshly picked and sent from a tea house not far from Gaojiazhuang, and they were picked in accordance with Lingyun's picking requirements, and they were all made of only one bud and one leaf of the highest quality. These teas are all produced in the Lion Peak Tea Garden of Liuhe Mountain, but they are not world-famous teas. Ling Yun has also done some homework on the tea varieties at this time in the past few days, and asked the shopkeepers of several tea shops carefully. I know that the most famous tea today is the Mengding Stone Flower produced in Mengding Mountain, a famous mountain in Yazhou, Jiannan, and the most famous Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoot tea in Huzhou, Zhejiang, and almost all of the courts and aristocratic wealthy families use these famous teas.

At this time, Yangzhou Huainan area, in later generations belonged to Jiangsu and Anhui region, although Huainan and Shuzhong and Lingnan belonged to the same three major tea producing areas, but there was a lack of top tea. The tea in the Jianghuai area is famous for Huoshan Huangya, Lu'an tea, Tianzhu tea and Xuanzhou Yashan tea in Shouzhou. Although the tea produced in Liuhe Mountain has a good reputation in the local area, among all the teas, it is just ordinary and can no longer be ordinary. However, in later generations, Nanjing's Yuhuatai hills, which are only across the river from Liuhe Mountain, produced Yuhua tea, one of China's top ten famous teas. In Lingyun's view, Liuhe's tea still has a good foundation, Shouzhou in the north has Huoshan yellow buds, Lu'an tea, Tianzhu tea and other good fine teas, and in the south there will be famous teas such as Yuhua tea, so what Liuhe Mountain's tea lacks is just a packaging opportunity.

Will the people of the Sui Dynasty like to drink brewed tea? Ling Yun seemed to be sure, they all drank boiled tea now, but it was just because they hadn't drunk stir-fried brewed tea yet.

The fresh tea leaves picked from Lion Peak were sent to the village by horse-drawn cart as quickly as possible, and Lingyun also prepared several large bamboo plaques for the stall to dry these tea leaves.

Of course, the most important thing for new tea is stir-frying. In order to roast tea, Gaojiazhuang has hired several blacksmiths in the past few days to process and create three cauldrons day and night. These pots were all made by Ling Yun in the style of his aunt's tea factory before. The pot is an iron pot, and the three pots are side by side, divided into raw pots, two green pots and cooked pots, and are operated sequentially. The diameter of these pots is about three feet, the raw pot is slightly inclined, the front of the pot is more than one foot high, which is easy to operate, and the back wall is more than three feet high, which fits the wall.

When the raw pot is finished, and when the firewood burns to nearly 200 degrees, you can start frying, and you can put in a maximum of one pound of tea at a time. Use a fried tea broom to rotate and stir-fry in the pot, wait for the green leaves to be soft, use the tea to collect the green leaves, turn around in the pot and gently knead the wrapping action from light and slow to gradually increase and speed up, shake and pick up from time to time, and repeat. After about two minutes, the leaves are soft and dark green, and they can be swept into the second green pot. The second green pot plays the role of continuous finishing and preliminary kneading, the temperature of the pot is slightly lower than that of the raw pot, and the operation requires greater force.

After Ling Yun operated it in front of Mulan and Qinglian, they had already learned. Ling Yun immediately handed over the work of frying the raw pot to Qinglian, and handed over the task of frying the second green pot, which required more strength, to Mulan, who had significantly greater strength.

Speaking of which, this job really belongs to Mulan. Qinglian fried the raw pot, Mulan desperately stir-fried the second green pot, and Lingyun only needed to wait for Mulan to rotate the tea leaves in the pot and roll them into strips, when the leaves shrunk into strips and had a sticky feel, they could be swept into the third pot cooked pot he operated. The cooked pot mainly plays the role of further making fine tea strips, and the pot temperature is lower than that of the second green pot. At this time, the leaves are already relatively soft, stir-fry a few times with a roasted tea broom, and the leaves will drill into the inner bamboo branches, which is conducive to making strips, and if you shake it slightly, the leaves will be scattered into the pot again. In this way, the repeated operation makes the leaves swallow inside and outside the bamboo broom, and skillfully combines the loss of water from finishing and kneading into strips. This is obviously different from the tea-making technology of roasting green tea first and then rolling, which can not only take advantage of the opportunity of softer leaves and good plasticity under humid and hot conditions to promote the formation of coarse old leaves, but also overcome the disadvantages of cold kneading into broken stems, fragments, and exposed tendons. Fry until the cord is tight and thin, emitting a tea fragrance, about three or four dry, and then you can get out of the pot.

The first batch of new tea sent was almost 100 catties, and only one catty could be fried at a time, and 100 catties of tea needed to be fried a hundred times. Originally, Lingyun was going to just fry one or two catties, but who knew that the two girls, Mulan and Qinglian, immediately liked this kind of tea after tasting the first cup of tea brewed by the roasted tea method. And for this magical and advanced roasted tea technique, the two of them are more precious than Ling Yun himself. Like a miser, he whispered to Ling Yun that this technique must not be passed on, so he insisted on stirring it up himself. Even if it will inevitably be handed over to the people below to fry in the future, it will have to wait until a reliable person is found. Looking at their cute appearance, Ling Yun also thought it was funny. It just so happened that this matter of roasting tea also reminded him of his life when he was a young student in the past, so he accompanied them to insist on frying.

For several days, Lingyun's eastern courtyard became a confidential place, one master and two servants roasted tea all day and night, and other people were not allowed to enter at all. For a while, one master and two servants were also busy, chatting and joking while making tea, and most of the time Ling Yun told stories to the two girls. It's not an uncommon story, it's just some small stories from later generations, and even some fairy tales are slightly adapted, the two girls have heard this, and they are completely fascinated by it, so that every morning together, the two girls pull Ling Yun into the tea room, and the three of them stand side by side by the pot to fry tea, while chasing Ling Yun to tell them all kinds of stories, what Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella and the Prince, Sleeping Beauty, and even the story of the gourd baby are listened to with relish.

But what Ling Yun didn't know was that every night, the two girls would tell Gao Qianxue all kinds of stories they heard from him during the day. At the beginning, it was just Mulan who inadvertently talked to Gao Qianxue, and then Gao Qianxue felt that these stories were very interesting, and they were all something she had never heard of. asked Qinglian to write down the story of the day, and then came back and told it to her, and then Gao Mingyue heard it when she came over the next night, and the number of people who listened to the story was added. Later, the people who listened to the story added the maid girl next to the two sisters, and later, at night, in the north courtyard house of Gao Qianxue, it was very lively, and a group of women were waiting there early to listen to the new story they told today.

There will always be a time when the story is finished, a Grimm fairy tale is finished, and even Andersen's fairy tales are finished, and later, it is natural that it is no longer limited to just telling fairy tales. Ling Yun will also talk about others, such as Journey to the West, the Fengshen List, and even the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Dream of Red Mansions. Although Lingyun doesn't remember these books completely, and some places have been changed when they talk about it, but the two girls have never heard this, and they are completely fascinated. Occasionally, Ling Yun also told stories such as the Legend of the West Chamber, and anyway, he gained countless adoring eyes. This made Ling Yun also feel slightly proud in his heart, no matter how good the emperor was in the prosperous world, how could the Sui people's insight be compared with that of later generations.
