Chapter Seventy-One: Senior Sister Jiang's Taste

With the incentive of barbecue.

Jiang Weiwei obviously has a lot more enthusiasm for roasting tea.

Now she just wants to finish all the work quickly so that she can eat the barbecue she has been thinking about as soon as possible.

"What do you need me to do, junior brother, just ask me."

Jiang Wanwei came to the front with an excited face, patted her chest and said to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing picked up a big shovel and flipped the tea leaves in the pot.

Then he turned his head to look at Jiang Wanwei on the side.

"Senior Sister Jiang, I need you to help me rub these tea leaves in the pot repeatedly, and strive to let all the water in them be steamed dry."

After listening to Liu Qing's instructions, Jiang Wanwei nodded knowingly.

"Oh, so the tea leaves are fried like this."

"I'm here to help!"

While agreeing, Jiang Wanwei quickly activated her spiritual power, as if she was performing some spiritual skills.

Soon, a thin layer of jade appeared on top of her hands.

The jade layer has a milky white color, and it looks like real jade.

This is the Water Attribute Defense Spirit Skill, Xuan Ice Hand.

After casting, a layer of jade ice can be condensed on the hands, thus protecting the hands from the flames.

Jiang Wanwei was able to easily perform this spiritual skill, which was also an important reason why Liu Qing chose her as her helper.

After all, tea leaves are roasted at a constant high temperature.

In this process, some masters can avoid being burned by the hot pan through their own superb skills.

But Jiang Wanwei is just a novice, and she has never been exposed to the work of roasting tea before.

Without the protection of the spiritual skill of Xuan Bing's hand, it is estimated that it will not take long for her white and tender little hands to be scalded and swollen.

Right now, seeing that Jiang Wanwei had already cast the Xuan Bing Hand.

Liu Qing also put his hands into the pot, grabbed a handful of tea leaves and began to demonstrate.

"Knead the tea leaves like I do, and remember to rub them with a moderate amount of pressure.

Do not use too much force to crush the tea leaves, but also ensure that the water in the leaves is fully exposed. ”

"Got it."

After watching Liu Qing's demonstration, Jiang Xiaowei also followed his example and put his hands into the pot and grabbed a small handful of tea leaves from the pot.

She placed the tea leaves in the palm of her left hand and clamped them tightly with her palms.

I began to rub it slowly.

"Oops, I accidentally crumpled it."

For the first time, due to not controlling the force well.

Those few tea seedlings were crushed under Jiang Qiaowei's vigorous rubbing.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qing hurriedly spoke of comfort.

"Don't worry, take your time, roasting tea is originally a job that tests skills."

"As long as you find that feeling, there will be no more problems like this."

In this way, after several more failures, Jiang Wanwei finally slowly found that moderate strength.

The tea leaves she kneaded out began to become more and more standard.

Liu Qing did not skimp on his praise at all, and praised Senior Sister Jiang again and again.

With the more and more skillful cooperation of the two, most of the work of kneading the tea leaves has been completed.

After this, Liu Qing could also feel that Jiang Wanwei's speed was slowing down.

"Senior Sister Jiang, why don't you take a rest first."

"There are cups on the table in the back, you can pour yourself a little water to drink."

It stands to reason that Jiang Wanwei, as an inner disciple who has already stepped into the foundation building realm, is far better than Liu Qing's qi refining realm in terms of physical strength.

But because of her first time roasting tea, she was relatively lacking in techniques and skills.

After working for so long, she was already a little tired.

When she heard Liu Qing shouting that she was resting, Jiang Wanwei was about to nod her head and agree.

But when I think about stopping and resting now, I will delay the end of work, and I can't eat fragrant barbecue as soon as possible.

Jiang Wanwei finally gritted her teeth and insisted:

"I'm not tired, I can continue."

At this time, because of the continuous influence of high temperatures, Jiang Wanwei's forehead had oozed a layer of fine sweat.

Because she was too obsessed with kneading the tea leaves, she didn't pay attention to these.

Soon, that layer of fine sweat began to slowly gather, forming a few drops of sweat on Jiang Wanwei's forehead.

By the time she felt it, a drop of crystal clear sweat had fallen from her forehead and headed towards the tea leaves in the pot.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wanwei immediately stopped the movements in her hand.

Get ready to intercept that drop of sweat.

This pot of tea is the result of her and Liu Qing's hard work for a long time.

Seeing that the work is about to be completed, it can't be ruined by this drop of sweat.

But although Jiang Wanwei reacted immediately, her movements were still a little slower.

As soon as she stretched out her right hand, the sweat had already dripped into the pot.

Splash around on a young tea seedling.

"It's over......"

Seeing that a pot of good tea was all ruined by his own negligence at this time.

Jiang Wanwei was instantly disappointed.

She slowly took half a step back, lowering her head and not daring to look directly at Liu Qing opposite.

At this time, Liu Qing was still continuing to rub the tea leaves, and he didn't seem to see the scene that had just happened.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wanwei said with some difficulty:

"Senior brother, I'm ...... I just accidentally dropped a drop of sweat into the pot and I ......"

Jiang Wanwei buried her head low, not daring to look at Liu Qing.

Because she was really afraid to see Liu Qing's disappointed expression.

But what she didn't expect was that Liu Qing not only didn't feel any loss after listening to her words, but seemed to ignore it.

"It's just a drop of sweat, it's fine."

"Senior Sister Jiang, do you know, in fact, in addition to the quality of the leaves themselves and the tea-making process, there is also a very important thing that determines the quality of tea."

"That is, the tea that is fried must have a human taste."

"What does that mean?"

Regarding Liu Qing's remarks, Jiang Wanwei didn't understand it very much.

"Human smell, it's easy to understand, it's the special smell of everyone."

"In the process of roasting tea, different tea roasters will add their own flavor to the tea in different ways."

"Only in this way can the final tea be called the best tea."

After listening to Liu Qing's story, Jiang Wanwei still seemed to understand a little.

"Senior brother, what do you mean ......?"

Liu Qing was still busy with the movements in his hands, and continued to explain:

"The drop of sweat that Senior Sister Jiang just dripped into the pot is a way to add flavor to the tea leaves."

"This will not only not destroy the original taste of the tea, but will also greatly improve its quality."

"So, you don't have to mind."

originally thought that Liu Qing said this to comfort herself.

But when Jiang Wanwei saw Liu Qing's eyes full of surprise, she really put her mind at ease.

It seems that what Senior Brother Liu Qing just said is not a lie. ’

This sweat really has the effect of improving the quality of tea. ’

If that's the case, I'm going to have to put a few more drops of sweat into the pot." ’
