Chapter 81 What is the deal between chewing tea and chewing wine?
"Then next, can Your Majesty explain the mystery of his own work?" Carrotes finally licked the last drop of tea from her teacup and looked at Christie pitifully.
Christie smiled sideways, then replied, "Of course." ”
With that, Christie came to her creation, the three metal cylinders that were identical in appearance but very different in the inside, and reached out to the first cup, which was a green tea powder.
"As I said at the beginning, the name of my tea is chewing tea, and it is a very ancient way to drink tea, and its origins can be traced back even 10,000 years."
"Some of the people here know that I'm from Clouft, and even fewer of them know more about Clouft's birth and origins, so they can roughly understand where this chewing tea came from."
"Like I said, this is a very ancient and primitive way to drink tea, at that time human beings did not know how to make tea leaves that can be preserved for a long time, so the way to drink tea is mostly to chew the young leaves of the tea tree to obtain the taste and effect of tea."
"In a sense, this kind of behavior of chewing the young leaves or fruits of plants to obtain a refreshing effect is still popular in many places, but this way of chewing tea is too primitive after all, and it is limited to the young leaves of the tea tree, which is not easy to obtain and not easy to preserve, so gradually, human beings began to learn the technology of making dried tea leaves, and since then, the behavior of soaking or cooking tea leaves in hot water has become a mainstream, convenient and effective."
"It's just that among them, some old-fashioned aristocrats are accustomed to being self-contained, and on the other hand, for the sake of pleasure and show-off, they have developed such a chewing tea on the basis of dried tea leaves."
"They let the unmarried and beautiful virgins bring the best tea leaves in their mouths, use their body heat and saliva to brew the dry and shrunken tea leaves, and sip off the initial dry and bitter taste of the tea leaves, and then put the roughly stretched tea leaves in a cup for a second brew for the master to drink."
"The tea brewed in this way has a unique taste, with a little virgin fragrance, and the inner charm is also reverie, so for a long time, this method of making tea has been popular within the ethnic group, and has been handed down as a etiquette for receiving VIPs."
"It's just a pity that that the group did not survive to the present day, as their remnants, we do not have the qualifications and strength to continue this kind of absurd and extravagant behavior, originally this kind of etiquette has been used as a past history, when the dust was sealed in the ashes, the Clouft family rose from the West, regained part of the glory of the family, even if it has not achieved the past status, but internally, such a ritual has slowly revived."
"It's no secret, when I was young, I used to act as such a tea waiter, because in the face of different levels of guests, I must also be paired with tea waiters of different identities."
"However, after I took the helm of Clouft, chewing tea has disappeared again, but at the same time I became interested in chewing tea by chance, because it is really unique and delicious, so for a while I have been trying to see if I can reproduce the previous taste after subtracting the human element and slowly surpass it."
"So in this process, first of all, I found that human saliva contains some strange substances, which can slightly decompose some substances in the tea leaves, making the taste smoother and more delicious, so after some attempts, I successfully extracted this substance, and named it tea enzyme, because it can make the tea produce a further strange reaction like fermentation, and then after preliminary tests, after mastering the appropriate usage and dosage, the final processed product can reach or even surpass the chewing tea made by traditional methods."
After Christie said this, there was silence inside and outside the arena.
What she said was so simple, after some common sense, if it weren't for her almost world-top alchemy and potion skills, who could extract trace substances from saliva that could interact with tea, even if there were some people in this world who met the conditions, but who could be as boring as her?
And beside Ao Xuehua, the twelve-year-old black goth Lori Xiang suddenly stood up and patted her head, extremely excited: "So it's okay, I could have done it if I had known." ”
Ao Xuehua was full of black lines, and while forcibly pressing Xiang back to his seat, she slowly splashed cold water: "Although you do have this ability, can you carry out long-term technical accumulation like her?" ”
Xiang stopped and thought carefully: "Yes, I have so many projects, how can I specialize in this useless small aspect." ”、
Just when Ao Xuehua naively thought that he was coaxing this disaster star, he saw Xiang suddenly slap his thigh, and the girl's pink and thin white thighs made a tempting "snap" sound: "I can cooperate with Christie, we are strong together, what problem can't be overcome?" ”
Ye Qing looked at Ao Xuehua, who was tortured by the bear child and almost collapsed, although he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but saw that Xiang had already spoken loudly to the stage: "Alayya, are you interested in cooperating with my laboratory?" We can share some of the results of our research. ”
Ao Xuehua silently closed her eyes and stopped looking at this disastrous scene.
Christie didn't have a trace of surprise on the stage, and smiled: "Okay, when the emperor's oath is over, we can sign a memorandum." ”
Saying this, Christie went back and continued: "After obtaining the tea enzyme, the rest is logical, the tea leaves are placed in a water bath environment close to the body temperature of the human body, and the stirring and light grinding are applied to simulate the oral environment, and finally the tea leaves are close to brewing, and then dried and ground to obtain this." ”
Christie pointed to the small barrel of turquoise powder in front of him and said, "It can be brewed with hot water at any time, and the taste is not much different from the original chewing tea." ”
Christie glanced at the remaining two cylinders again: "Originally, the experiment could be ended at this point, but I slowly found out in the experiment that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the chewing tea made by this method." ”
Christie tilted her head slightly, with an absolutely natural smile: "So I started to further research and improvement, and the other things you see are naturally the wonderful products obtained in this round of improvement." ”
"It was only at this time that I gradually realized that sometimes my own power can produce such a wonderful and transcendent product, and I can be satisfied with this purest of pleasures."
"To put it simply, this chewing tea has a special meaning for me, although it is not necessarily the best tea, but it is the most suitable and most desirable work for me at this time."
