Xilin Street is a famous old street in Tanning, spread along the Yijiang River, two miles away, there are many shops on both sides of the river, and the night market is particularly lively.

Some people say: Eating all over Xilin Street is even if you have eaten most of Qizhou.

There are a concentration of famous delicacies and snacks from all over the world, and after hundreds of years of changes, it is a must-have that can be left.

At the beginning of summer, a Xiluo Mountain Tea Workshop opened in 19 shops in 72 alleys outside, and its name was Xilinfang.

Tanning is a large capital, and even if there are more than 100 tea houses opened, they are quite far away from each other.

As a result, as soon as Xilinfang opened, it absorbed most of the popularity, and there was a long queue from morning to night.

The sky was clear, the tea shop had not yet opened, and five or six waiting guests had already gathered outside the door.

Bai Liang waited outside the door for a quarter of an hour, the door of the tea shop was slowly opened, the guests surrounded him, and the tea room began to get busy.

"Hello, I'm the new apprentice. Bai Liang walked up and said.

"Oh, you wait. One of the green-striped male tea masters glanced up, cleaned up the tea table, and beckoned Bai Liang into the inner room.

"You took it from Sister Hua. The man's eyebrows were crooked, his face was thin, and he rummaged through the utility room in the back to find two sets of apprentice clothes.

Bai Liang nodded, noticing that the tea master was wearing a badge with the name "Zhou Zhilin" on his chest.

The tea room is a place where the ingredients are prepared and the tea is boiled, and every apprentice who comes in has to start from the tea room.

The person in charge of the tea room is a fat man, with a square face, but his figure is not bloated, called Yu Liushan.

There was a little girl beside him, with long hair tied into a bun, and her eyebrows and eyes were clean and delicate.

Zhou Zhilin briefly introduced some rules of the tea shop to Bai Liang, who had changed into clothes, and left him in the tea room and handed him over to Yu Liushan.

"Hey, just call me Brother Shan. Yu Liushan's eyes narrowed when he smiled, and he was busy washing the tea bucket in his hand.

"My name is Bai Liang. Brother Shan, do you want my help?"

"No, just look at it, I'll teach you how to make tea later." Yu Liushan shook his head and pointed at the little girl.

"She is Zhu Qiuyu, let's call her Azhu. She came two days before you, and she almost got the hang of it, so if you don't understand, ask her. ”

"Hello. Azhu turned his head to say hello, smiling like a flower. "Don't listen to Brother Shan's nonsense, I still have a lot to learn. ”

"Then please take care of Sister Qiuyu. Bai Liang said with a smile.

... ...

After the morning, Bai Liang had a general understanding of the tea room.

The tea cultivated tea used in the mainstream of the tea workshop includes four kinds of red mulberry, Songwu, Qingwu, and Guizhu, and the water temperature, fire change, and tea waking time are different.

"How long does it take to cook a pack of Songwu, and how many ice stones do you need to add to boiling water?"

"For a quarter and a half, add six taels of ice stones, rest the furnace for ten breaths and then cook. ”

"How many times do you want to soak the bamboo in warm water?"

"Three times, remove the broken leaves that have floated. ”

... ...

Yu Liushan stood next to him and watched Bai Liang brew tea, asking questions repeatedly.

In addition, Bai Liang also has a preliminary understanding of the hygiene requirements of the tea workshop.

Yu Liushan wiped everywhere whenever he was free, not allowing the slightest water stain, and threw Bai Liangyi a mop and asked him to drag him from the tea room to the tea room, dragging no less than fifteen times.

So-called, spotless, but that's it.

Bai Liang felt that it was really incredible.

"Xiaobai, how are you feeling?" Wen Hua walked into the tea room and said with a smile.

Bai Liang had goosebumps all over his body, it was the first time someone called him that, and Xiao Bai didn't seem to be calling people.

"Everybody takes care of me. Bai wiped his hands on his apron and said.

He knew from Yu Liushan that Wen Hua was the agent of this tea shop, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off.

"Brother Bai is learning things quickly, and he will be able to teach them as soon as he teaches them. Yu Liushan said.

"No, it's all taught by Brother Shan. Bai Liang smiled a little crampedly.

"You two. Wen Hua shook his head and smiled, and said hello to Azhu.

Wen Hua is like this, he will take care of everyone present, and his smile is so kind that people are embarrassed to ignore it.

"Sister Hua, do you know why Brother Bai is called Bai Liang?"

"I guess it's second in the house, isn't it?"

"Almost, his father said that Bai Er had four or five people in the village called this name, and he wanted to appear more educated, so he took the name Bai Liang, haha. ”

"That's interesting. ”

"It's better for Sister Hua to call him Xiaoer in the future, it's better than Xiaobai shouting, haha. ”

"Little Er......"Wen Hua pondered for a while, thinking that this name was really good, there were many small characters in the tea shop. "Just call Xiao Er, Bai Liang, don't you mind?

The two laughed in unison.

"Uh, that's good. Bai Liang shook his head and reluctantly accepted this new nickname,

For the first time, he saw Yu Liushan's hobby of giving nicknames to others, so he could only laugh.

"Come, let me introduce you to the people in the tea shop. ”

"This is Yu Liushan, the number one in the tea room, it's all ripe, right?"

"It's been buddy for a long time!" Yu Liushan said with a smile.

"This little girl's name is Zhu Qiuyu, she came two days earlier than you, just call her Azhu. ”

"Well, we all know each other. Wen Hua then took Bai Liang to the tea-making room in front of him and introduced them one by one.

"This is Ji Nan, the second-in-command of the tea shop, everyone calls her male brother. "It was a short-haired tea master, dressed neutrally, with delicate facial features, but there was no trace of a woman on the lines of his face.

... ...

"His name is Zhou Zhilin, he and the male brother are both stewards of the tea shop, and he will be your master in the future. ”

... ...

"Mr. Jin Siye Jin, he is in charge of the transfer and management of the accounts. Jin Siye was tall and thin, with thin-rimmed glasses and slender eyes, looking a little gloomy and serious.

... ...

"This is Hu Jingchun, he is an apprentice brought out by the male brother, and he just passed the apprenticeship assessment and came here. ”

... ...

There are four tea masters in the tea room, an apprentice Zhai Tong, and Qin Yaoyao, who receives guests at the door, picking ice.

Hearing that Wen Huaguan's new apprentice was called Xiao Er, he was a little embarrassed.

Xiluo Mountain Tea Workshop has a mature training system for apprentices.

The tea workshop arranges for the master to take the study, and also go to the general association to participate in three sessions of training, and finally take the assessment to become a full-time tea master.

The salary of the apprentice is 12 state yuan and one hour, which is a very high treatment at the bottom of Tanning, and there will be a commission of 100 to 200 state yuan every month after becoming a tea master.

After Wen Hua introduced the treatment to Bai Liang, he began to talk about the work requirements of the tea workshop.

"Apprentices have to learn a lot of things, and they have a lot of memorized content, so you have to be a little prepared, and let your master teach you later. ”

"Well, thank you, Sister Hua, I will work hard. Bai Liang skimmed the sky outside without a trace, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

... ...

"You'll stay in the teahouse for the month and master everything you need to learn. When Bai Liangxing was about to go back, Zhou Zhilin hurriedly entered the tea room and took out a yellow page booklet.

"This is the [Xiluo Mountain Tea Classic], the apprentice has to learn everything on it, you copy the first page back, and recite it to me tomorrow. ”

Zhou Zhilin emphasized: "Not a word." ”

Bai Liang roughly flipped through it, and the tea book had more than a hundred pages, and he couldn't help but get a little big.

He turned to the first page, which was the standard requirement for apprentices, there were more than twenty, and Bai Liang secretly said that it was okay.

Since he was a child, he didn't say how smart he was in reading, but he was still good at memorizing and reciting.

... ...

Tea milk is the mainstream tea product of the tea house, which is blended with the secret milk sand and clear tea of each family, and is highly sought after by the public.

After mastering the brewing methods of the four base teas, Bai Liang began to learn how to boil milk sand on the third day.

The milk sand in the tea workshop is a semi-finished product that needs to be boiled twice, dehydrated and re-granulated before it can be used to make tea milk.

The fire control was particularly fine.

"Quick, it's all burnt!" Yu Liushan snatched the stirring spoon and stirred the bottom of the pot.

"At the beginning of boiling, you must stir more, otherwise it will easily stick to the pan. ”

Yu Liushan quickly took out an empty pot, poured the half-boiled milk sand into it, and put it on the Yuanli stove to continue boiling.

"In this case, you definitely have to change the pot to cook, or when it is almost ready, just go directly to the algae sand and proceed to the next step. ”

Yu Liushan showed Bai Liang the bottom of a charred black pot, "There is a brush there, go and clean it." ”

"Okay, I got it. Bai Liang took the high-waisted pot.

"Xiao Er, why is the temperature of your bucket of red mulberry tea so high, have you forgotten to add ice stones?" Ah Zhu checked the tea barrel and suddenly exclaimed.

Bai Liang secretly screamed damn, and nodded helplessly, he was so busy just now that he was dizzy, and he really forgot.

"Usually joke is a joke, don't be frizzy and frizzy. Yu Liushan's face was unusually serious.

"It's okay to pour out a packet of milk paste or a bucket of tea, but when you're busy, it's easy to mess yourself up and run out of what we've prepared. ”

"Little Er, let's add some sugar from the sugar injector!"

"The ice stones in the ice tank are almost at the bottom!" shouted someone in the tea room.

"I'm sorry, Brother Shan, I'll pay attention. Bai Liang replied and hurriedly went out.

Bai Liang felt that today was really sad, and there were several mistakes.

"These situations are normal, pay attention to yourself, the apprentices who have just come in have not been trained. It's been three days since you came in, so you can be considered to have passed the probationary period, so let's work your own. ”

After Zhou Zhilin explained the content of his study, it was already night when Bai Liang returned to Wenyuan.

As a result, Xu Pingle shouted that he was hungry, and pulled Bai Liang straight to the nearest night market.
