Chapter 266: Promoting Black Tea
I saw Wei Ruo open the small jar and scoop out the black tea leaves inside with a small spoon.
When they saw the color of the tea leaves, everyone's faces showed different degrees of doubt.
How is this tea leaf black?
Generally, the tea leaves are not stored properly, or the heat is not well controlled when frying, so it will be blackened, right?
Wei Ruo knew what everyone was wondering about, she didn't explain, but concentrated on the work in her hands.
The process of making milk tea is not complicated, the caramel is fried in advance, put it in, add water to boil and put in black tea, boil for a while and then add milk, and when it boils again, you can remove the teapot from the stove.
Wei Ruo placed the teacup and poured the milk tea into it, the teapot already had a strainer, so there was no need to worry that the tea would be poured out, and there was no need to prepare an additional filtered steamer cloth.
Wei Ruo poured six cups and gave one to Xu Yaojun and the five nearest girls around.
Xu Yaojun looked at the teacup in his hand and hesitated to try it.
Yuan Jiuniang also got the milk tea given by Wei Ruo, and out of trust in Wei Ruo, she took the lead in tasting it.
When she first entered, Yuan Jiuniang didn't react.
Everyone looked at her curiously, and even Wei Qingwan, who had just endured not coming over to see Wei Ruo making tea, couldn't help but poke her head out to look.
After a while, Yuan Jiuniang's face showed a look of joy, and then gave a good review: "It's delicious! It has a milky flavor, a sweet smell, and a tea fragrance, which is very rich!"
Hearing Yuan Jiuniang say this, Xu Yaojun's curiosity was also aroused.
In addition, she also saw Wei Ruo's process of making tea just now, and what she put in it were all common things, except that the tea leaves were a little black, which didn't look like any good tea.
Xu Yaojun took a small sip into his mouth and savored it.
It feels good! Xu Yaojun was a little surprised, and then took another sip, wanting to taste its taste more carefully.
"It's really delicious!" Xu Yaojun commented.
After speaking, Xu Yaojun looked up at Wei Ruo, it can be said that this is the first time she has really looked at Wei Ruo with appreciation.
Although she said a lot of nice things to Wei Ruo before this, none of them were actually sincere.
Even if Wei Ruo's poems attracted a lot of praise from everyone the last time she went out, she didn't think that Wei Ruo had much ability, it was just that she could use the existence of Wei Qingwan to take advantage of it.
Xu Yaojun said so, and the remaining few who got the milk tea tasted it unceremoniously.
After tasting it, several people also expressed their opinions, some thought it was good, some thought it was novel, but no one said that it tasted bad.
Yuan Jiuniang asked Wei Ruo, "Ruoruo, what's the matter with your tea?" Why is it black?"
Yuan Jiuniang asked everyone's confusion, and everyone was also curious about this question.
"This is black tea, which is slightly different from the green tea that everyone usually drinks, and the taste will be less astringent than green tea, and the taste will be softer, which is more suitable for making milk tea." Wei Ruo explained.
"Black tea? It's the first time I've heard of tea and black tea." Yuan Jiuniang said.
"Not long after this tea appeared, it is said that some hermits came up with a new method to preserve tea leaves more conveniently, and it has only slowly spread this year, so not many people know about it." Wei Ruo replied. ….
Wei Ruo thought of a source for black tea, specifically said that it was invented by a hermit, in order to add some elegant colors of black tea, if it was invented by a country woman, I am afraid that some pampered people have some disgust in their hearts, which affects their mood of drinking tea.
"Miss Wei, where did you buy this black tea, I also want to buy some for my family to try." Yuan Jiuniang said.
Yuan Jiuniang made a start, and then a few people seconded the proposal and wanted to buy some.
"I also want to buy some, and I can learn from Miss Wei to make milk tea when I go back."
"I have cows in my ranch that milk cows, and they bring me milk every day, and I'm tired of drinking it, so it just goes with this black tea, and it tastes slowly."
「……」
Wei Ruo said: "I also bought it from others, but I heard that Yusheng Tea Garden is making black tea in large quantities, and I guess I will be able to buy it in some time."
Of course, Wei Ruo can't sell tea as the daughter of the school governor's mansion, loquat ointment is medicine, it makes sense for her to make some and sell it herself, but she can't say anything about selling tea, so at this time, Wei Ruo only needs to tell everyone where to buy it.
"Aftersound Tea Garden? Isn't that this a tea house?" Xu Yaojun said.
So Xu Yaojun called the maid to come over and ask about the situation: "Does your tea house have black tea for sale?"
The maid hurriedly shook her head and denied, "Our tea shop has never sold black tea, and I don't know what black tea is."
Hearing this, Xu Yaojun looked back at Wei Ruo: "There seems to be something wrong with Miss Wei's news."
Wei Ruo smiled lightly: "That may be my mistake, it may be some other tea plantation doing it."
It doesn't matter if her news is accurate or not, the important thing is that someone has moved the heart to buy black tea.
Then Wei Ruo said, "I'll make some milk tea for everyone."
I only made six cups just now, and there are still a lot of people who haven't tasted it.
Hearing this, Yuan Shi Niang hurriedly said, "Yes, make some more, I want to taste it too."
Several others seconded the bill.
Regardless of whether he said he wanted to drink it or not, Wei Ruo boiled a cup of it, even if he showed a lack of interest, Wei Ruo did not fall behind.
Anyway, the milk has already been obtained, and this thing will not be able to be stored for long under the current conditions, and it will be wasted if it is not needed.
Wei Qingwan also had a glass in front of her, looking at the milky brown liquid in front of her, Wei Qingwan's face did not have any expectation.
Especially in his ears, there were also voices of praise for Wei Ruo from time to time.
Xu Yaojun had been paying attention to Wei Qingwan's expression, and found the right time to come over and tease, "Wei Qingwan, why don't you drink it? Your sister made it herself, it's very delicious, and we all love it."
Wei Qingwan's face became even more ugly, and she replied with a forced smile, "I'm not very thirsty."
"Tea is not to quench thirst, this tea is sweet, and the taste is better than the soft and sweet osmanthus cake. By the way, you know what osmanthus cake tastes like, right? I remember you used to be the best at making osmanthus cakes."
Xu Yaojun deliberately compared Wei Qingwan's osmanthus cake.
"Well, my sister has been in the countryside for many years and has learned a lot of crafts, and I can't compare." Wei Qingwan said modestly.
While being modest, he also did not forget to mention that Wei Ruo was raised in the countryside since he was a child.
Xu Yaojun sneered lightly: "But your sister's talent is no worse than yours, how come you haven't been able to learn better than the one who grew up in the countryside after so many years in the school captain's mansion?"
Wei Qingwan's face turned pale, she bit her lip, and replied softly, "It's me who is stupid, not as smart as my sister."
