"Chamber!"

Manager Li knows this old uncle.

Their teahouse is hidden in the tenement building, and they are all doing business in the neighborhood. For more than ten years, he would come to drink morning tea on time every day, ask for a radish cake, order a pot of narcissus or pu'er, shake off a newspaper, and sit all morning.

This is one of the most ordinary old customers in the teahouse.

Han Chunlei and Zhang Xilu were also attracted by Qian Bo's words.

Seeing this, Manager Li introduced: "This uncle's surname is Qian, our old customer of Guangyuan Teahouse, and also the old purchaser of our first supply and marketing cooperatives in Shenzhen, who just retired last year. ”

"Chambers are good. ”

Han Chunlei nodded, and out of respect for the old man, he also briefly introduced himself and Zhang Xilu.

Manager Li asked his partner Xiao He to refill the teapot with water, and then asked: "Uncle Qian, can you tell me, is the problem with Longjing tea in the margin? Since the opening of our teahouse, Longjing tea has indeed always been this flavor." ”

"Hehe, that's because you kid hasn't drunk good tea!" Chambers slowly put away the newspaper and set it aside.

"Hehe, then Uncle Chamber, you old man, give us insight. Manager Li said with a smile.

As soon as these words fell, not only Han Chunlei and Zhang Xilu, but even the sporadic guests at the next table all looked at Qian Bo's side.

After all, it's a teahouse, and most people like to drink tea.

"Isn't it exciting?"

Qian Bo smiled, also a little interested, cleared his throat, stretched out two fingers, and said: "Whether this Longjing tea is good or not, there are two keys, one is the supply." The second is storage. ”

After that, he glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was listening with their ears pricked up, so he was even more interested, and continued: "I won't go into detail about this source, after all, the ability of tea farmers to grow tea and the craftsmanship of roasting tea are different, so the quality of the tea collected by the supply and marketing cooperatives from farmers is also uneven. I'll tell you more about this second key point, storage!"

Speaking of this, Qian Bo set his eyes on Han Chunlei and the others, and asked intentionally: "Since the two little comrades are both from Hangzhou, do you know how to store this green tea?"

"Of course it's in the bottle!" Zhang Xilu blurted out.

Han Chunlei thought for a moment and said, "And refrigerate." ”

Although he has not studied tea, after all, as a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he still has basic knowledge of green tea. As for the refrigeration method, this has something to do with him before he was reborn, because his father also likes to drink tea. They have a freezer at home, and they usually put some food that needs to be refrigerated, but his dad will also seal the green tea and store it in the freezer. Explained that if you store it like this, even if you leave it for two or three years, the color of green tea will still be green.

Qian Bo was obviously more interested in Han Chunlei's answer, looked at Han Chunlei in surprise, and said, "I didn't expect Comrade Xiao Han to know the refrigeration method?

Nowadays, how rare is a household freezer, let alone a household freezer to store green tea?

So Qian Bo was surprised by Han Chunlei's answer.

Later, Chambers said, "The refrigeration method is still rare in ordinary people's homes, because it has to be a special grade tea to be served so carefully." As for the general green tea, the folk of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are stored in porcelain bottles. Comrade Zhang, do you know how to bottle it?"

"It's not hard for me!"

Zhang Xilu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I have seen our relatives fill bottles, that is, find a large porcelain bottle, and use braided bamboo to cushion the bottom first. Then put the roasted tea leaves into the bottle, then cover it with a piece of white paper, and finally screw the cap on the bottle and screw the porcelain. This kind of bottling method can be understood by any tea farmer. ”

Chambers said: "Yes, indeed. Tea farmers store tea leaves, and most of them use this method. In this way, the preserved green tea will not change color and flavor within a year. ”

This refrigeration method for a while, and the bottling method for a while, but the onlookers listened to it with relish and gained a long insight.

At this time, Qian Bo's words changed: "However, think about it, the cost of the porcelain bottle itself is not low, and the capacity of the porcelain bottle is limited, how much tea can it hold? Every time the supply and marketing cooperatives collect thousands of catties of tea, can they all be packed into the porcelain bottles? Therefore, the storage of green tea by the supply and marketing cooperatives cannot meet the standard of porcelain bottle storage at all. Besides, using porcelain bottles as a storage method is not to mention the high cost, and it is not convenient to transport. But this green tea pays the most attention to these. On the contrary, it is the Pu'er and oolong that our old people love to drink, and they don't care about this, and they don't care about it for ten or eight years in the corner. ”

"I understand. ”

Han Chunlei nodded, and asked: "So, what Qian Bo means is that it is indeed Longjing tea in the supply and marketing cooperatives, but their storage standards are not good, it is easy to make green tea change color and taste when it is damp, and the supply of green tea they receive is uneven, and there are also high-grade Longjing and inferior Longjing in Longjing tea, right?"

"The young man is clear, and he understands it with a little dial!"

Qian Bo praised Han Chunlei before he said to Manager Li: "So, the tea you imported from the supply and marketing cooperatives is indeed Longjing tea, but the storage conditions are not good, and we are humid in the south, this tea has long changed color and taste in the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative, I am afraid that even their supply and marketing cooperatives themselves don't know, the Longjing tea in their own warehouse is already an inferior tea that changes color and taste!"

"Wouldn't it? Can't even the state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives enter the good dragon well?" At the table next to him, a young man let out a sigh of emotion.

Qian Bo looked at the person who spoke up, and asked a little sarcastically: "Hou Shengzi, this Longjing tea is deeply knowledgeable, do you know how many grades Longjing tea is divided into?"

"How much?"

"Forty-three rank!"

Qian Bo stretched out his right hand and kept turning it, and said: "It is forty-three grades! According to the standards set by the state, Longjing tea is divided into special grade, first grade, and second grade...... Ten levels, a total of eleven levels. Among them, the special grade is divided into three grades, and each grade from one to ten is divided into five grades, which is a total of forty-three grades. Forty-three grades, different grades, the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperatives is also different. ”

"Oh my god! I haven't heard of that. ”

Qian Bo's teasing made even Zhang Xilu, a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, feel fresh when he heard it, and said: "I didn't expect this inconspicuous-looking piece of tea to be divided into forty-three grades!"

"So the tea is broad and profound. ”

Qian Bo was full of emotion, and then said: "But for us little people, drinking tea is just a drink to quench our thirst, and we are not so poor." Therefore, the small people want to be cheap and affordable, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are reluctant to enter the high-quality tea. Got it, the doorway is here!"

"It turns out that there are so many exquisite!" said Manager Li.

"You're still young. The old master of your teahouse knows this. It's a pity that they're all pretty much gone. Chambers said.

Manager Li nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, who made me young and uninformed? When I went back, I explained to the warehouse that the green tea we bought in the future would also be bottled in porcelain bottles, sealed, and stored. Save being laughed at by guests from other places, and joke that our Lao Guang drank the stinky sock water as tea. ”

Han Chunlei and the others couldn't help but smile, this manager is a wonderful person. After saying that, even Zhang Xilu didn't want to pursue the matter of green tea anymore.

Manager Li looked at Han Chunlei and Zhang Xilu, and said sincerely: "Comrade Han, Comrade Zhang, it's not that our teahouse deliberately tricks outsiders, we really don't understand this, so we let the two guests drink this inferior tea today." Today's pot of tea, our teahouse will not charge money. I'll ask the waiter to give you a pot of frozen oolong, this pot of frozen oolong is a gift from our teahouse, do you think it's okay?"

"Manager Li, since this matter has been explained, there is no need for us to chase after it. It's free to send oolong, we have already drunk a stomach of tea, and no matter how good oolong tea is, we can't drink it. ”

Han Chunlei smiled and waved his hand, politely rejected Li Jiajun's hospitality, and then thanked Qian Bo and said: "To be honest, I have benefited a lot from listening to Qian Bo's words today, just like Manager Li said, I have learned from the long!"

These are not his polite words, but they are indeed heartfelt.

The high-grade Longjing tea of later generations can be sold at sky-high prices.

In this era, there is a phenomenon of bad money driving out good money, which is a pity.

This morning tea, he felt that it was really not in vain, he had gained knowledge and gains.
