Early the next morning.

The long-lost sunlight pierced through the heavy clouds, sprinkling thousands of sunshine and shrouding Chang'an City.

After Chang'an County Cheng received a report from the people sent by the Yiguo Mansion, he quickly brought a cadre of officials over, moved the corpse out, and left in a hurry, and the news of a large number of dead soldiers sneaking up on the Yiguo Mansion flew quickly all over Chang'an City like wings, and all the people who passed by the Yiguo Mansion couldn't help but take a look at the mighty mansion.

The tall stone lion, the heavy gate, especially the four gilded characters on the door plaque - Yiguo Mansion, are even more complicated, inexplicably awe-inspiring, and even a little fanatical, as if there is a huge beast lurking in the door plaque, no matter how many villains go in, don't want to come out alive, mysterious and powerful.

At the beginning of the troubled times, the Tang Dynasty was good at martial arts, and the most revered the strong, the Yiguo Mansion was gone, but the Yiguo Mansion once again made people feel its strength!

Qin Huaidao did not repercussions in the accident world, and was organizing people to build a big shed in the open area of the west courtyard and next to the blacksmith shop, building a three-pot connected fried tea stove, the pot was inclined at 25-30 degrees, and then let people find bamboo and make a few fried tea brooms, about one meter long, and the diameter of one end of the bamboo branch was about ten centimeters.

In the last life, Qin Huaidao was born in the countryside, and since he was a child, he has watched adults roast tea, and he knows the method by heart.

But everyone didn't know why, and seeing that Qin Huaidao didn't explain, they didn't dare to ask, and worked hard.

One day, the stir-fried tea stove was done, Qin Huaidao asked Uncle Ma to help, and together they built an iron pot, the iron pot was heated quickly, the heat dissipation was even, and the best fried tea was the best, but it was a little troublesome to make, Uncle Ma had not done it before, under the command of Qin Huaidao, he rushed to work overnight and made it with the pouring method.

Maybe it was the last time the murderer was killed, no one came to attack at night, and early the next morning, six large iron pots were made, three were directly placed on the fried tea stove, and the other three were ready to turn around and let people build three more fried tea stoves for use.

Everything was ready, Qin Huaidao pulled Jia Youcai, who had been helping out, to the side, and said: "Uncle Jia, next I am going to make tea, this craft is very important in the house, it can bring huge money, it cannot be leaked, it needs about ten absolutely reliable and trustworthy women, you can help me choose it." ”

"Understood, let's arrange it." Jia Youcai's pupils shrank suddenly, nodded solemnly, and hurriedly went.

Craftsmanship is extremely precious to the ancients, it is the root of raising a family, passing on the ancestry, and the root of the lintel of the light gate, it will not be leaked rather than die, Jia Youcai is very clear about the powerful relationship here, and it didn't take long to bring ten women, signaling everyone to wait for a while and hurriedly came to Qin Huaidao, and said in a low voice: "Young master, these are absolutely reliable, in addition, let them sign the deed of sale, and from now on they will be the house slaves in the house." ”

"Don't force it." Qin Huaidao said in a low voice, a little disgusted by the deed of sale.

Jia Youcai explained: "The young master, I have never forced it, it is all voluntary, if it is not for the limited number of places, more people are willing to come over, and no one is unwilling to master a skill of making money." ”

Qin Huaidao suddenly reacted that it is now an ancient time, it is the Tang Dynasty, not the future generations, although there is no human rights, but in the era when it is impossible to live, it is a great honor for people who are struggling at the bottom of the society to be able to sell themselves, and they can't ask for it, and once they sign the deed of sale, it is the private property of the master, even if they kill the government, they will not be held accountable, and they will not be easily betrayed if they are constrained by this kind of selling relationship.

The times are like this, Qin Huaidao has no way to change, he can only adapt, and said in a deep voice: "Let them come up." ”

Soon, ten women stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the young master." ”

After Qin Huaidao motioned for all the other irrelevant people to leave, he looked at the somewhat nervous crowd and smiled: "No need to be restrained, let's teach you a roasting tea technique, and do a good job of one or two silver per month, if you can't do it well, what you did it turned out to do, and what you went back to do, do you understand?" ”

Everyone was panicked, and they didn't know what Qin Huaidao said about fried tea, whether it was difficult or not, but when they heard that there was still a tael of silver to take, they were very surprised, and they also moved their minds to study seriously.

Jia Youcai was also very surprised, everyone's monthly money was only three hundred Wen, and now it suddenly rose to one or two, that is, one thousand Wen, which has more than tripled, realizing that he had underestimated the roasted tea technology, and added with a cold face: "The young master is benevolent and righteous, pass on the precious technology to everyone, and give one or two cases of money, the entire Chang'an City is unheard of, and they all work hard, if someone leaks out, the young master is merciful, and he won't say anything, and the old man will kill her all over the house, and he will remember the point." ”

Everyone's expressions changed, and they hurriedly wrote it down.

Qin Huaidao glanced at Jia Youcai, like an old hen guarding her calf for fear of her own loss, she was a little moved, think about it, threaten it in advance, set up a rule, and continued: "Don't be nervous, you are all old people in the house, you can still be trusted, come forward." ”

Everyone came up, nervous, curious, uneasy, all kinds of emotions.

Qin Huaidao saw that everyone's expressions were in full view, and there was no point breaking, he opened a bag of tea leaves and poured it into a large dustpan, and explained: "The first step in roasting tea is to clean up, there will inevitably be some small insects and debris in the fresh tea, and they must be cleaned up first, this is not difficult, everyone try it first." ”

Everyone is used to rough work, farm work, handy to this, have come up, not long, a bag of tea cleaned up quickly, there are really some debris, sundries, insects did not find, but it doesn't matter, this process can not be less.

Qin Huaidao pointed to the three fried tea stoves and said: "The second step is to fry the tea, the fried tea is divided into a raw pot, a green pot, and a cooked pot, the three pots are connected, and the sequential operation is carried out. ”

After speaking, Qin Huaidao stopped and gave everyone time to digest.

After a while, Qin Huaidao signaled to burn the fire, and while demonstrating, he explained: "The raw pot mainly plays the role of killing, the temperature of the pot does not exceed two hundred degrees, the amount of leaves is about one catty, and the stir-fried tea broom is rotated and mixed, to turn fast, evenly forced, combined with shaking the tea leaves, as for the mixing time, everyone can count a hundred in their hearts, not counting fast, one breath and one breath for a number, when the leaf quality is soft, the leaf color is dark green, and the green pot can be carried out." ”

In ancient times, there were no clocks and watches, and the time for copying and mixing was one to two minutes, which was difficult to express, for these women who had not gone to school, counting was the only way to understand and remember, one breath and one breath, almost one second, and a hundred times was a hundred seconds.

A short hundred seconds passed quickly, Qin Huaidao swept the tea directly to the second pot with a fried tea broom, and continued while demonstrating: "The second pot is the green pot, this process mainly plays the role of continuing to finish and initially kneading the strips, the temperature of the pot is slightly lower than that of the raw pot, because the friction between the tea and the pot wall is relatively large, and the force should be greater than that of the raw pot, so it is necessary to "bring strength", so that the leaves rotate in the pot with the roasted tea broom, and begin to roll into strips, and at the same time it should be combined with shaking loose tea balls, breathing heat, when the leaves shrink into strips, the tea juice sticks to the leaf surface, and there is a sticky feel, Sweep into the cooked pot. ”

This process took a bit long, Qin Huaidao asked everyone to try, who did not do it right, pointed it out on the spot, and corrected it, everyone saw that Qin Huaidao was not only not angry, but taught him seriously, they were very moved, and their nervous hearts gradually relaxed, and they naturally learned much faster.

After a while, Qin Huaidao saw that it was almost over, swept the tea into the third pot, and continued: "The last pot, also called the cooked pot, mainly plays the role of further making thin tea strips, and the temperature of the pot is lower than that of the second green pot, about 130-150 °C. At this time, the leaves have been relatively soft, stir-fry a few times with a fried tea broom, the leaves are drilled into the inner bamboo branches, which is conducive to making strips, shake slightly, and the leaves are scattered into the pot again, fry until the cords are tight and thin, emitting the fragrance of tea, about three or four into dry can be out of the pot, and after cooling, find the jar to seal it. ”

"Everyone takes turns to try, and if you don't understand, just ask."

Qin Huaidao looked at everyone with encouragement in his eyes.
