Chapter 240: Aromatic Surprise
Cui'er found the fragrant tea green, carefully recorded the location of the tea green, the distance from the door and the window, and the degree of dryness and wetness of the tea green, and called the apprentices who helped her move the tea green to the roasted tea room one by one, and confirmed the number of days and methods of drying the tea green at that time.
The fermentation record of this tea green is complete enough, and Cui'er took the whole basket of tea green tea alone, and went to the roasted tea room in her new yard, slowly studying how to knead it to bring out the most beautiful taste of this tea green.
Although Cui'er settled down to retreat and study the stir-fried tea with strong fragrance, the daily affairs of the tea shop still had to be done, and even after Qingshan commanded the apprentices to clean up the rotten tea and dirt traces inside and outside the tea shop, the ox cart that Qianjiagou delivered the tea green also arrived.
"Brother Aoyama!" Because the mountain road was muddy, even if he was sitting on the ox cart, Qian Shanming was still splashed with a lot of mud all over his body.
He jumped out of the ox cart in embarrassment, and said a little cramped, "It rained too much a few days ago, and the road was blocked, so we couldn't send the tea greens over, and the picked tea greens were fried nearby......
When he said this, Qian Shanming's face flushed slightly, obviously because he was very embarrassed that he had fried Chaqing privately, or he was not confident in his craft, "I can't help it, then Chaqing can't survive...... I also brought it, you and Madame will have a look at ......."
"Brother Shanming, the rain was too heavy a few days ago, even if it was the tea green that was brought over, it didn't keep much after drying it for a few days, if you left the tea green, I'm afraid it will be broken, don't take the fried situation too seriously." Lian Qingshan comforted. After saying a few words, he began to take the apprentices to move the tea on the car, and after a few days of rain and two days after the sunny weather, his own tea workshop did not start, if he didn't start roasting tea, I am afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the orders sent a few days ago.
According to the usual practice, the tea green weighed the weight and recorded the account. The apprentices began to work hard in their respective duties, sorting what should be sorted, drying what should be dried, a basket of tea green into the yard, and in a blink of an eye it was tossed into a big basket, and the Qian family's ox cart had just arrived for a while. The teahouse is back to its former busyness.
"Brother Shanming, Cui'er is developing new tea leaves in that yard, I heard that it has been fried almost in the morning, let's go over and take a look?" Lian Qingshan looked at Qian Shanming still a little cramped and uneasy, knowing that he was afraid that Cui'er would blame him for cooking tea and green without permission. Then he opened his mouth and invited.
Even Qingshan knows best what kind of character Cui'er is, she will never blame Qian Shanming for her kindness, even if he spries the tea and stirs it up, Cui'er will not blame, not to mention that the fried tea that Qian Shanming brought over this time is only in slightly poor condition, but it is still good in nature?
The two walked in the direction of the new courtyard as they spoke, in the middle of the teahouse and the new courtyard. The land that originally belonged to the old yard has now risen a lot of houses, the main houses in the north and south rows. Now the middle row and the north row have been raised, and the walls are being tiled.
The main house and the east and west wings on the south side were not built because of the heavy rain, and the bricklayer Yang was directing everyone to build a wall or something, a busy scene.
"Brother Qingshan, your business is getting bigger and bigger!" When Qian Shanming first came to Lian's house. Lianjia only has one and a half houses in the old yard and three main houses in the new yard. These days are passing day by day, and I see that the days of Lianjia are becoming more and more prosperous. Not only has he built a yard as big as a teahouse, but there are also so many rows of new houses, and it would be a lie for Qian Shanming to say that he didn't envy it in his heart.
"Hahaha...... Brother Shanming is not bad, is the new house starting to be built? This has built a house, and in a few years, when the black wood and charcoal are big, it is time to marry a daughter-in-law! Lian Qingshan saw Qian Shanming's admiration, his heart was extremely comfortable, and after laughing, he also talked about the Qian family.
"I've started to build, and now I'm building the house, it's time to add to it, and let my father live a few more days!" Qian Shanming said, the old money has lived in an adobe house all his life, and now he has the money to sell the tea garden, and he also has a perennial money to make a living, and the days to come will definitely become more and more prosperous.
"That's right!" Lian Qingshan thought of his father and mother who died early, and his heart ached, after he replied briefly, he looked up at the sky and sighed in his heart, if his father and mother were still alive, how happy would they be to see this prosperous scene of their own family?
Lian Qingshan and Qian Shanming were sighing, and suddenly smelled a strong tea fragrance, which was very strong, and people couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"This ...... Cui'er is researching new tea these days, maybe this is a success? Even Qingshan's eyes lit up, the excitement in his heart could hardly be suppressed, and his steps couldn't help but speed up.
Originally, Lian Qingshan was a rough person, and he didn't have any feelings for things like tea, and he felt that it was just something that Ku Sensen used to entertain guests.
But since he roasted the tea at home, Lian Qingshan's understanding of tea can be described as a thousand miles a day, from the picking of tea to frying, and then to brewing, little by little in-depth understanding, and with the deepening of understanding, even Qingshan has become more and more enthusiastic about this slightly bitter, but long aftertaste drink, and even to the same level of love as the love of fine wine, every day without drinking a pot of good tea, always feel that something is wrong.
When Lian Qingshan and Qian Shanming entered the new courtyard house, they saw Cui'er holding a tea bowl and carefully observing the tea leaves.
"Cui'er, is the new tea ready?" Lian Qingshan's eyes lit up as he looked at the slightly reddened tea soup in Cui'er's bowl, smelling the strong fragrance in the air, only to feel that his mood was very agitated, and he couldn't wait to take the tea bowl and savor the taste.
"Well, you guys come and try it!" Cui'er also had a smile on her face, and she beckoned Lian Qingshan and Qian Shanming to come over and pour it from the teapot
In front of Cui'er was a small basket, on top of the pale yellow basket, there was a dark green tea that had been fried, the tea was similar to the snow blossom tea, but the color was thicker, and the dark green balls of equal size were piled together, looking neat and bright.
At this moment, Lian Qingshan couldn't wait to bring the tea bowl, took a deep breath, smelled the extraordinarily strong tea fragrance, Lian Qingshan's eyes were amazingly bright, "Cui'er, this tea is really fragrant, several times more fragrant than the tea fried at home on weekdays!" ”
Even Qingshan's words, but there is no water at all, this tea is still green tea, it is stronger than the fragrance of the green tea next to it, or it will not be found by Cui'er in a pile of moldy and sour green tea. And this originally fragrant tea green, after Cui'er's repeated kneading, the aroma doubled after stir-frying, and it became the bowl of fragrant tea soup in Lian Qingshan's hand.
Gently sipping the tea, Cui'er tasted the taste carefully, to Cui'er's surprise, in addition to the rich aroma, this tea is actually a little less bitter than ordinary tea, a little more sweet, and the taste is softer, as if the sweetness has been advanced all of a sudden.
"This tea is so fragrant!" Lian Qingshan praised again and again, for this extremely fragrant tea, Lian Qingshan is very fond of it, but for the slightly bitter but sweet snow tea, Lian Qingshan is also very loved.
Tasting the tea in the cup, Cui'er knew that the tea she tried to make this time was successful again, and such a fragrant taste surprised Cui'er at the same time, but also with a touch of sorrow. Although Cui'er remembers the location and humidity of this tea clearly, there are too many variables brought by a heavy rain, and whether you can make this fragrant tea in batches depends mainly on whether you can find the right way to ferment this green tea.
After tasting the new tea, I heard that another new tea was delivered, and Cui'er's heart was full of fermented tea greens.
Cui'er's impression is that this tea green was dried for two days before it was received in the roasted tea shop, plus several days of heavy rain and sealing, these should be the factors for the successful fermentation of tea green, as for other factors, Cui'er has not thought of it for the time being.
To sum up, it should be the appropriate tea humidity, the right air humidity and the right time of closed fermentation, although the word appropriate is easy, but I don't know how much effort and waste to find the right point, Cui'er doesn't know.
In order for the tea workshop to make money, the tea required for normal operation must be guaranteed, so even if Cui'er's heart is full of fragrant new tea, she can't forget the frying of existing varieties of tea, and most of the tea green tea in her own tea farm and tea garden must be kept to make normal tea to be sold.
Cui'er divided the tea green picked back each time into ten parts, and took one-tenth for the research and development of new tea, because the fermentation of this tea green is not a day's work, Cui'er listed the parameters needed for the tea green one by one, designed a simple experimental method, and then observed the results of the experiment one by one, and finally found out how to ferment the strong aroma of the green tea.
Cui'er's experiment is very simple, the time of drying tea, the degree of ventilation, the humidity in the room and the weather conditions were quantified by Cui'er, and then a table was designed to test the permutations and combinations under various conditions one by one.
The mountains in the distance are verdant, Cui'er is sitting in front of the house with a fragrant tea, the breeze is blowing, the ears are the children's cheerful laughter, the tinkling sound of the new house being built, Cui'er can even hear, when everything is born, the sound of Suosuo but full of vitality, time passes slowly, Cui'er's heart is leisurely.
