Chapter 267: Tea
"They brought the tea!" Jiang Xingchen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately greeted him.
Although Grandpa Fu was anxious and now that his funds were tight, he had no choice but to follow behind Jiang Xingchen at the moment.
What the world firm brought over was just a wooden box! When he opened it and watched, Jiang Xingchen immediately looked surprised. Although he didn't know how to fry tea, he also knew that the water in the tea must be fried dry, otherwise the tea would not be rotten if it was brought from so far away, and he also told Qin Manwu that the tea must be fried in an iron pot to dry the water.
But who knew that what was in the box was a layer of tender green leaves, which had not been fried at all. Not only that, but these tea leaves did not appear to be rotten and dried in the slightest, as if they had been freshly picked.
"How can this be!" Jiang Xingchen flashed a question in his mind, and took a closer look at the wooden box, and a smell of tea was fragrant. And in this fragrance, there is also a hint of incomparably fresh taste.
"It's ...... Vitality!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned, that trace of freshness was surprisingly similar to the cloud mist he drank at that time.
"The tea leaves in this world realm actually contain vitality!" Jiang Xingchen never thought that it would be such a result, no wonder people in the world's commercial houses did not dare to fry it in an iron pot, in that case, it would definitely dissipate the vitality.
"Lord Jiang, these tea trees you mentioned are regarded as treasures by various tribes in the Southern Wilderness, and we have spent a great price to get so many!" said the person from the Tianxia Commercial Bank.
"Hmm!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, his mind racing sharply. At first he thought that the wild tea tree would certainly not be known. Who knew that it actually contained vitality and was valued by the tribes of the Southern Wilderness. In this way, it is almost impossible for him to fry tea leaves on a large scale. I can only find a way to get the seeds and try to grow them myself. But in this way, it is impossible to solve the problem of the teahouse in a short time.
After groaning for a long time, Jiang Xingchen came to the kitchen with tea leaves, made a pot of boiling water, and took a few pieces for brewing.
After the tea was a little cooler, Jiang Xingchen took it and tasted it. The fragrance of the tea leaves and the freshness of the vitality are mixed to create a new flavor that is stronger than the taste of clouds.
However, Jiang Xingchen always felt that something was wrong. It's a wonderful feeling, as if the aroma of tea is wrapped in something and it is difficult to release it to the fullest.
"When I was soaked in boiling water, my vitality was released. But the aroma of the tea is still not enough. The aftertaste is insufficient......" Jiang Xingchen stared at the cup in his hand, stunned.
Grandpa Fu from the world's trading houses looked at Jiang Xingchen in surprise, and couldn't understand why he was stunned at the water glass.
"Could it be that the tea leaves still have to be fried!" After a moment, Jiang Xingchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration. For the mastery of the heat and the control of the vitality, there is absolutely no one in the world who is more proficient than him.
As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't wait to make a move. He lit the stove over a low fire and poured all the tea leaves into the iron pot.
People in the world's trading houses were dumbfounded. What is Lord Jiang doing, heating it will make the vitality in the tea dissipate. They hadn't dared to use this method before.
Without using the bellows, Jiang Xingchen ran the method of breathing, reaching out to stir the tea leaves in the iron pot. The evaporation of water, the frequency of vibration that surged with vitality, all could be felt by his hands.
He has never learned to roast tea, but Jiang Xingchen has mastered the fire with his outstanding perception. And the vitality that intensified the vibration was also used by him to control the resonance to resist the dissipation of the vitality.
Grandpa Fu is also stupid at the moment, what is Lord Jiang doing, putting his hand into the iron pot, is this self-harm?
Jiang Xingchen didn't pay attention to their expressions, and kept picking up the tea leaves with both hands and spilling them. The tea leaves also become thinner in the pot and the color deepens......
The old man was originally waiting for the dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, but Jiang Xingchen just didn't come out. Finally, he couldn't wait any longer and went straight into the kitchen.
But as soon as he entered the house, before he could ask Jiang Xingchen, he couldn't help but sniffle and said, "It's so fragrant! Boy, what is this delicious?"
Jiang Xingchen didn't pay attention to the old man at all, all his energy was spent on controlling the heat...... After two months, the tender green tea leaves at the bottom of the pot had shrunk to a small amount, and he stopped.
What else is in the back, Jiang Xingchen doesn't know what to do at all, but when the tea is fried to this point, there is very little water left in it.
Put this small handful of tea leaves in a cool place, and after a little cooling, Jiang Xingchen couldn't wait to brew a cup of boiling water again.
This time, before he could drink it, a smell of tea wafted out, and Grandpa Fu, the old man, and the people from the world's business houses couldn't help but purse their lips!
"Boy, what the hell is this?" The old man stared at the teacup in Jiang Xingchen's hand, his eyes widened!
Jiang Xingchen didn't answer the old man at all, he was also attracted by the aroma of tea. It's this kind of roasted tea that he made casually, but the aroma is more fragrant than any tea he drank in his previous life.
"Suck!" put it to his mouth and sipped it gently, Jiang Xingchen suddenly felt that his mouth was full of fragrance, and the aftertaste in his mouth was endless, and the aroma and vitality were perfectly integrated, as if they were stuck in his mouth, lingering, and causing the sublingual liquid to gush like a spring.
"Good! That's good!" Jiang Xingchen nodded again and again with satisfaction, and was about to take another bite.
However, as soon as the teacup was brought to his mouth, he felt a light in his hand, and the teacup had been snatched away by the old man.
"Hey!" Jiang Xingchen glared, and before he could speak, he saw that the old man had already tilted his neck, and the whole cup of tea was poured into his mouth.
"Woo~" The old man let out a hiss in his throat, his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, although this cup of tea was cold, but at least it was above eighty degrees, he poured it into his mouth at once, it was strange that he could stand it.
The corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched a few times, so he couldn't laugh out loud, what the hell is this tea tasting, is it simply looking for guilt.
"Boy, what the hell is it?" The old man's mouth was vague, his mouth was wide open, pointing at Jiang Xingchen, where could he still feel the fragrance of tea, and it was only painful.
"I'm yin you! Did I let you drink it, obviously you grabbed it yourself, make up the bracelet!" Jiang Xingchen's eyebrows also stood up.
"If it weren't for the intoxicated look, would I be able to rob the, you insidious dripping soul!" the old man scolded loudly as he inhaled!
"I'm going! I'm drinking well, of course I'll look drunk, does it have a copper coin relationship with you...... You just deserve it!" Jiang Xingchen sneered.
Grandpa Fu and the people from the world's trading houses were completely stunned when they saw this scene, and looked at the two people with red faces and thick necks in a daze, Jiang Xingchen and the old man's current appearance was as if they were going to do it immediately.
"As for it, just drink a glass of water, although this water is different......" As soon as the two of them had this idea, they saw the old man rush out of the gang and grabbed Jiang Xingchen's placket.
"Damn, really do it!" When Grandpa Fu and the people of the world's business houses saw him, he suddenly felt ridiculous, for a glass of water, he really ...... However, they didn't have time to think about it at this time, and hurriedly ran forward, intending to persuade the two of them.
But as soon as they took a step, they heard the old man shout loudly: "You dare to say that I deserve it!" Boy, hurry up and make me another cup, it was too hot just now, and I can't taste it at all!"
"Oops~" Grandpa Fu and the people of the world's trading houses stumbled under their feet, fell to the ground with one head on the ground, and their legs twitched.
And Jiang Xingchen tilted his head and said with a smile: "Old thing, your mouth is hot, can you still drink it?"
"Don't talk nonsense, my ancestor is a good person, this temperature is a fart, it's just that the skin in the mouth is thin and a little painful...... Hurry up, make me another drink, or I'll go crazy!" yelled the old man.
"Don't brew, just bear with it, the tea is just like that, I'm still of great use!" Jiang Xingchen didn't give an inch.
"It's a big use to have a fart, is there anything more important than my ancestor enjoying the blessing of the mouth, hurry up and soak it!"
"Don't even think about it, don't soak it!"
"Boy, you're forcing me to be mad, right, whether it's soaked or not!"
"Damn, I'm still afraid that you'll be mad, and if you don't bubble, you won't bubble!"
Grandpa Fu on the ground and the people from the world's trading houses were just about to stand up, and suddenly they fell down again, looked up at the old and the young who were arguing, and wailed in their hearts: "A lord, a master, can't you be a little upright......
In the end, Jiang Xingchen couldn't resist the old man's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and still made him a cup.
The old man who finally tasted the taste of tea enjoyed the fragrance in his mouth, with a happy expression on his face, the fragrance of tea was certainly evocative, and he was even happier to be able to make Jiang Xingchen, a stubborn cow, compromise. This is the first time that this kid has changed his decision, although it is only a cup of tea, but the old man feels like he has defeated a peerless master.
With excitement, the old man raised his chin slightly, and with a smug smile, he walked away with the teacup in his hand.
"This old man!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head with a smile, his expression slowly becoming serious.
"These teas, you immediately take them to the Southern Wilderness, let them taste them, and exchange them for more fresh tea leaves for me, I think you should know how to do it...... Qin Manwu is there, I'll say hello!" Jiang Xingchen handed over the rest of the roasted tea to this person.
The eyes of the people in the world's trading houses lit up, and they bowed down with some excitement and said, "Thank you, sir, I will definitely handle this matter!"
Jiang Xingchen's meaning is very obvious, he is going to help himself speak to Governor Qin Manwu, if this errand is done well, he will definitely be promoted and reused in the future.
"Besides, try to get some seeds, or branches of the tea tree!" Jiang Xingchen said again.
"It's good! I have written it down, and I will definitely live up to the trust of the lord!" the man nodded vigorously, did not stay long, carefully put away the tea, and turned around and left quickly.
After this person left, Grandpa Fu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, ...... of our funds now?"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought of a way!" (To be continued......)
