Chapter 037: Inheritance
Qiao Shengping rented a small courtyard near Ren Ji Tea, where Master Zou now lives. There are still more than two months before the Dou Ming Conference, because to develop a new tea before the Dou Ming, the young grandmother goes back and forth between Qiao's Mansion and the tea number every day.
Today, it is customary for the young grandmother to go directly to the tea master's tea room, where Master Zou and the tea master are processing the new tea leaves, which are sifted, selected, and roasted to become loose tea that can be put into sale.
Two days ago, Master Zou used to experiment with the new recipe before the rain and only made two taels, and the young grandmother came over today to taste tea with Master Zou. The new tea area is stored separately by picking and roasting techniques, and Master Zou is worthy of being a master of tea making, and the tea made by him is well-proportioned and has obvious charm.
The tea soup is well divided, the young grandmother takes a small sip, and drinks more when the tea fragrance surrounds the tongue, the young grandmother's cheeks are slightly bulging, her eyes are half closed, I guess the tea soup is full of fragrance! I have never seen such a cup of tea, but seeing the young grandmother's breath of fresh air out of the dust, I feel that such a tea tasting is inexplicably enjoyable.
The tea soup passed through the throat, and the young grandmother was full of praise: "It is fragrant, the soup is clear and bright, the bottom of the leaves is fresh and tender, the entrance is mellow and the bottom of the tongue is full of relish, and Master Zou's skills are still in the background." ”
"You only talk about whether you can compete in the fried green tea, and don't climb up."
"Absolutely!"
"I changed the traditional method of frying green tea, changed to half fried and half baked to fry, after finishing and kneading, the initial drying loss of water, in the heat and cooling, and then into the pot to fry, low temperature baking, I have tasted when the tea is made, this method is more fragrant and far than before."
After the young grandmother rinsed her mouth and tasted the rest of the several, during the tea tasting the young grandmother and Master Zou said: "The public tea production is more, although the quality is not strange, but it is better than simplicity, and it can also have a good return on the operation, this year Ren Ji and the tea house transaction is pressed on the box of tea, there is Master Zou in, Ren Ji and the tea shop signed the contract can also have an extra layer of protection, according to the generation of Ren Ji thank Master Zou!" ”
In addition to worrying that this year's Mao tea acquisition will encounter difficulties, Ren Lao also said that the gringos are unreliable, and they must beware of the other party's breach of the contract.
Master Zou didn't take credit, his face was indifferent: "This is my selfishness, I thought about it for a long time after Young Master Qiao talked about business, I had many misunderstandings about businessmen before, but now I think about it, business prosperity can drive the people's production, this is a big plan related to people's livelihood!" As he spoke, he laughed heartily again: "Hahaha...... Girl, how about using Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots for tea this year! ”
"Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots that have been lost for more than 200 years? Didn't the master laugh?"
The young grandmother would never have thought that Master Zou, who had only regretted the loss of Jiaming in Lingyin, would change a trick today, and the master deserves to be a master of the hidden world!
"It's not the purple bamboo shoots of 200 years ago, it's made by me based on rumors and speculations, not a traditional craft."
The young grandmother didn't respond immediately, she asked excitedly and cautiously, "Dare to ask Master Zou, how close can you be?" ”
Master Zou pondered for a moment: "Dry tea can reach ten points, and the tea soup and the bottom of the leaves can also be messy, because no one has tasted the real thing, so the tea fragrance and taste can not be exquisite......
Master Zou didn't finish speaking, but I could hear what he meant - this tea is made enough to make it real! The young grandmother naturally understood, she showed her eyebrows: "Just use purple bamboo shoots, although we are not a traditional method, but I hope to be fortunate to meet capable people to improve, half of the tradition also needs to be inherited, over time, I hope that Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots can reproduce the style of the day, and I also hope that the tea-making skills can be passed on from generation to generation, and the tea culture will not appear in the second Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots!" ”
(Fried green tea is changed to half-fried and half-roasted, referring to the modern tea-making process of Huading Yunwu Tea, and everyone looks at it as a legend during the Republic of China, don't take it seriously, or if anyone knows that there was half-fried and half-roasted tea in the Republic of China, I can boldly write, hehe......
Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots were lost in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the traditional craft is said to have been rediscovered in the 80s of the 19th century, but the "Chinese Tea Collection" is written to resume production in 1978, maybe this production is not a traditional craft? Hahaha! I can't find any evidence to prove it.
After writing this chapter, I feel that what I wrote is really a legend apocryphal, and I finally did something that is not more real, thank you for chasing the article, I make do with it, everyone make do with it, refill. )
