Chapter 154: Good Tea!
Du Jinning was not polite, and said to Du Fangfei: "Eldest sister, you help me light the fire." ”
Chen thought that she was afraid of tired Du Fangfei, so she hurriedly said: "Let your eldest sister do it, she hasn't been on the ground today, so she is not tired." ”
"No, I read a recipe for making tea in a book and wanted to stir up tea. As for how to do it, you don't understand, it's up to me to do it myself. Du Jinning shook his head like a rattle, "Eldest sister, just help me light the fire." ”
Du Fangfei had no choice but to sit down and help her light the fire.
There are three kinds of green tea: fried green, steamed green, and baked green, and in ancient times, tea cakes were made with the steaming process, until the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when the generous monk made pineapple tea in Xiuning, Anhui Province, and fried green tea appeared.
Because of the high flavor of fried green tea, the taste is much better than that of steamed green tea.
Like the Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots that Du Jinning drank from Yuan Xiuzhu, they were abandoned by the market because of the production process. Later, it was recreated, and the production process was reformed, and the method of frying green was used to finish the green, so that it was rejuvenated.
It can be seen that roasted green tea is far better than steamed green tea in terms of taste.
Now, Du Jinning's finishing method is to fry green.
The water at the bottom of the pot evaporated under the baking of the flame, and the temperature at the bottom of the pot gradually increased.
Chen Shi was frightened on the sidelines, and hurriedly asked, "This pot is so hot, you fry it with your hands, can't you burn it?" ”
Du Jinning smiled: "You see, my hands didn't touch the bottom of the pot at all, they were all on the tea leaves, so they weren't very hot." ”
In fact, it is relatively hot, but it has not reached the point where it is too hot to stand or even burned.
Chen saw that this was indeed the case, and then he was relieved.
Dong Dacheng doesn't look at the tea green that picked a bamboo basket, but when it is fried, it is only the amount of one pot. Du Jinning spent a meal to fry the tea, even if the hair tea was ready.
A bamboo basket of green tea, after frying dry, there is a handful of dry tea.
Although this tea is winter tea, but because the raw materials are young and neat, the tea is still very beautiful, the emerald green buds and leaves are covered with white hair, she uses the production technique of the tip of the hair, so the tea is in the shape of a cord, she looked at it, there is no tea stem, no need to screen is good tea.
Du Jinning saw that it was already dark, and he was going to Guanle and there today, so he rested his thoughts and asked everyone to close the door and sleep.
There is a lot of caffeine in green tea, and Chen and Du Fangfei never drink tea, so she doesn't dare to give it to them, for fear that they won't be able to sleep.
Even herself, she only soaked a little bit, tasted the taste, and felt that it was similar to the green tea she drank in her previous life, so she didn't taste it more.
After breakfast the next day, Du Jinning went directly to Guanfu with tea.
The academy has been on vacation, leaving only two Zhaifu and the old man who guards the door to guard there, and everyone else has gone home for the New Year, Guan Lehe is naturally not in the academy at this time.
Guan Lehe has been a mountain chief for many years, and how many students from ordinary families in his academy have won fame, so the Guan family's concierge has never judged people by their clothes - who knows that the poor boy in front of him will not be a talent in the next scientific examination?
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Du Jinning reported that he was a disciple of Guan Shanchang, the porter flew in to report it.
After a while, Guan Jiaze came out and welcomed her in, and said curiously, "What's the matter with you?" Didn't you come to ask for teaching? ”
Isn't that stupid? Finally, I don't have to go to school, I have to rest at home, Du Jinning also came to ask for teaching, should I call her stupid or stupid?
He had inquired, although Du Jinning only went to his uncle once a day in the morning, his schoolwork was not easy at all. The words they practice and the books they memorize in one day are enough for them to learn for ten days.
Now I can relax, she doesn't do it yet, she runs over and is abused, isn't it stupid?
"It's not." Du Jinning said, "I have something else to do with the mountain chief." ”
Guan Jiaze became more and more curious, but at this time, he had already walked to Guan Lehe's study, he didn't ask any more questions, and led Du Jinning into the academy.
Guan Lehe was practicing calligraphy, and Du Jinning waited until Guan Lehe finished writing the last stroke and put down the pen before she stepped forward and saluted.
"Sit down." Guan Lehe pointed to the chair and sat down on the first place.
Du Jinning and Guan Jiaze sat down, and the little guy came up with a pot and served tea to everyone.
Du Jinning stopped him and said, "You bring a pot of freshly boiled water." ”
The little guy looked at Guan Lehe, Guan Lehe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Listen to him." ”
"What the hell are you selling?" Guan Jiaze couldn't help but ask again.
Guan Lehe also looked at Du Jinning.
Du Jinning took out the small clay pot, opened the lid and handed it to Guan Lehe: "Teacher, you smell it." ”
Guan Lehe first looked at the things inside, and found that it was a gray-green, gray-green ribbon-like thing, which looked like tea leaves. His heart moved, he put the jar under his nose and sniffed it, and a good smell came to his nose.
He was surprised and asked, "Where did this tea come from?" "The aroma is different from the good tea he has drunk, and it seems to smell better.
This tea was brought by Du Jinning, so he would have this question, after all, with Du Jinning's family background, he couldn't afford to buy such a good tea.
Du Jinning said with a smile: "Originally, the disciple said that the disciple heard a tea-making recipe from a traveling Taoist priest, but he was suffering from the lack of fresh tea leaves, and he couldn't make it out to win Mr. Yu's trust." It happened that yesterday I happened to learn that there were three wild tea trees on the mountain behind Zhuangzi, so I immediately invited Uncle Dong to go up the mountain together, picked some fresh leaves, and made tea according to that recipe, and brought it to Mr. to taste today. ”
"Oh? Is it? Guan Lehe raised his eyebrows and carefully looked at the tea leaves in the clay pot.
At this time, the little maid had already brought a pot of boiling water.
Du Jinning took the pot, opened the lid of the pot first, then poured a little boiling water into each cup, scalded the cup, poured out the water in the cup, and then put the tea leaves into the cup, moistened the tea with a little hot water, and then poured the cup to seven points full, put it in front of Guan Lehe and Guan Jiaze, and she also kept a cup herself.
A scent that is stronger and more elegant than dry tea fills the air.
Guan Jiaze couldn't help but take a sharp breath: "It's so fragrant." ”
Guan Lehe watched the cord-shaped tea slowly unfold in the water, the aroma became stronger and stronger, he couldn't help but put the cup to his lips and took a sip gently.
"How?" Guan Jiaze asked, and without waiting for Guan Lehe to answer, he couldn't help but take a sip himself.
"Good tea!" The uncle and nephew cried out in unison.
Seeing that the two of them had no time to evaluate, they couldn't help but take two more sips, Du Jinning smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly.
Well, this tea has been left overnight, and it tastes better than yesterday. Newly made tea will have a "fire", which needs to be left for a while before drinking, so that the taste will be more mellow and delicious.
