Youran Mountain Village
Chapter 36
This tea itself is wild tea, because of the special induction of the mountain god space to find it, it can be said that it is a gift from the mountain god, when it is a fairy character, so it is appropriate to call wild fairy tea.
"I haven't heard of it." The old mother shook her head.
Soon the iron pot was hot, and the mother directly put the fresh leaves into the pot, and I saw that her palm kept rotating in the pot, and the fresh leaves followed the mother's actions in the pot and turned in the pot.
"This is the so-called stir-frying, which is mainly to clean up the moisture and grassy green smell in the fresh leaves." While finishing the finishing, the old mother explained: "The most particular thing about finishing is the heat, if the fire is big and the fresh leaves are fried, the tea leaves are basically equivalent to waste, and no matter how good the treatment is later, there will be no tea aroma, but a strong bitter taste."
"Mom, you're working hard, or you'll take a break, I'll try it?" Lin Chen said,
"I used to follow your grandfather to stir tea, and I fried hundreds of catties or more at a time, which is nothing, it is not enough to warm up." The old mother said disdainfully, but it was true, and more than twenty pounds of fresh leaves quickly shrank a lot in the pot.
"Bring us the bamboo plaque." Mom said.
Lin Chen hurriedly took the bamboo plaque that usually put the steamed bun over, and saw his mother copy the iron pot and spread the finished fresh leaves on the bamboo plaque.
"Take the floor fan too, you have to blow it against it." The old mother ordered.
Lin Chen hurriedly went to get the floor fan again, at this time Duoduo was holding a small steamed bun in his hand, followed by Big Yellow behind his butt, and the two little guys were very curious about what was happening in front of them.
"Grandma, give you little steamed buns to eat." Duo Duo ran to Lin Chen's mother, stuffed a small steamed bun into her grandmother's mouth, and then stuffed Lin Chen with a "Da Lin, give you a small steamed bun to eat."
"Well, thank you girl, wait until Dad is busy before eating!" Lin Chen put down the floor fan, then turned on the fan and let the wind blow against the tea leaves.
Duoduo and Rhubarb stood in front of the fan, as soon as the fan was turned on, Rhubarb thought it was interesting, so he opened his mouth to bite the wind, and the result was naturally a bite, but it was so funny that Duoduo had to open its mouth to see what Rhubarb had bitten.
The old mother squeezed out a piece of tea and handed it to Lin Chen, "Taste the taste."
"And that's it?" Lin Chen was a little puzzled, he vaguely remembered that stir-frying tea was not so simple, but he still put the tea leaves handed over by his mother in his mouth.
The old mother also stuffed one herself, and after chewing, she showed surprise and said, "Hey, this tea... How did it come to this taste!?
Lin Chen chewed two mouthfuls, only felt soft and fragrant, he saw his mother's expression, and quickly said, "Fried?"
The old mother shook her head and said, "That's not true, but generally the tea leaves are tender and fragrant after stir-frying, with a slight smell of grass, your tea is only fragrant after stir-frying, there is no grassy smell at all, on the contrary... There is a sweetness, I really haven't fried such tea.
"So is this good or bad?" Lin Chen asked with some concern.
The mother affirmed, "Of course, it is good, that grassy smell destroys the taste of the finished green tea the most, this tea has no grassy smell just finished, and the quality of the final stir-fry will definitely not be bad."
"I want to eat too, I want to eat too!" Seeing that both of them had food, Duo Duo immediately reluctant, and took her grandmother's hand like a swing.
"Okay, give our little baby a taste." The old mother pinched a piece of tea for Duo Duo.
Duo Duo chewed like the two, and actually liked it a little: "Grandma, this leaf is a little sweet, it's delicious!"
"You can't eat too much when it's delicious, you eat too much tea, you can't sleep at night, and you have nightmares!" Lin Chen frightened the girl.
With his mother's words, Lin Chen was relieved, and after a while, his mother kneaded the tea leaves with her hands, and she explained, "Now I have to use my fingers to twist the tea leaves, the purpose is to further twist out the moisture in the tea leaves, as if making the tea sweat." Lin
Chen had a kind of learning, this technique did not have any skills to speak of, soon a bamboo plaque tea leaf was twisted and kneaded by the two, and then the mother lit the firewood hot pot at home, and then put the bamboo plaque directly on the pot.
"This is the last step, as long as the remaining moisture is dried, the tea leaves are fried." Mom said.
Looking at the situation of the tea leaves in the bamboo plaque, it didn't take long for the mother to put away the fire, and asked Lin Chen to find a jar to collect the tea leaves, originally thirteen kilograms, twenty-six kilograms of tea, after stir-frying, only less than three kilograms remained, that is to say, basically six kilograms of fresh leaves can be fried to produce a pound of finished products.
There were also many tea jars at home, and Lin Chen found a few to put the fried tea in.
"Don't put the lid on yet, wait for it to cool naturally." The old mother ordered.
This tea leaves from finishing to final drying, in fact, it took more than half an hour, which is still the mother's hand, otherwise it is estimated that it will not take half an hour to get out of the pot.
After finishing his work, Lin Chen pinched a little and brewed a pot, and the boiling water brewed the rolled tea leaves again, and a clear fragrance immediately permeated.
"It's so fragrant!" The old mother was surprised, the aroma of a pot of tea actually filled the room, she had never seen tea fried at home for so long.
"Mom, today you worked hard, drink tea." Lin Chen quickly poured a cup for his mother and sent it to him respectfully.
"Dalin, Dalin, I'm also very hard, I also want to drink tea!" Duo Duo smelled the fragrance and immediately clamored for it.
"What tea do children drink, drink it and can't sleep and have nightmares." Lin Chen said: "Besides, you little girl, where is the hard work."
"I'm working hard to feed my grandma the little steamed buns, and my grandma said right!?" Duo Duo said of course.
The old mother immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, held her granddaughter in her arms and said, "Baby is right, but dad didn't lie to you, it's not good for children to drink too much tea, you drink grandma's, you can only drink a small sip!"
Duo Duo immediately nodded, put up a finger, shrunk her head, and said, "En, Duo Duo just drank such a small sip."
The old mother blew the tea cold, and then fed Duo Duo a small sip, Lin Chen smiled and said, "How is it, is it delicious?"
Duo Duo tasted it and nodded, "Dalin, the taste is so strange, there is a loss of bitterness, and then it becomes sweet, and it is so fragrant!"
"It's still a good thing!" Lin Chen smiled, poured himself a cup, and then said to his mother, "Mom, let's taste it too." The
two took a sip of fragrant tea in the mouth, only felt very similar to what Duoduo said, first a trace of bitterness, swirling in the mouth, but this bitterness does not make people feel undrinkable, and then the fragrance comes with a sweet aftertaste, entangled with bitterness, just when Lin Chen thought that it was over like this, the tea went down the throat, warmly wrapped the fragrance of the tea leaves, actually went up against the current again, Lin Chen only felt that the mouth and nose were extremely fragrant, and the tip of the tongue was wrapped around the tea fragrance for a long time, and the taste was indescribable!
"Whew, this tea... It's delicious! Lin Chen really couldn't find the words to describe it, maybe only the two words good and delicious could best express it.
The old mother also nodded and said, "It's so good, the tea flows into the stomach, making people feel that the whole body is light and warm, son, your friend gave you this tea is not cheap."
At this time, Big Yellow saw several people sucking tea and sucking it happily, and he was also a little anxious, licking his tongue and rubbing Lin Chen's leg with his head, Lin Chen had no choice but to pour some for it, but he didn't expect that Big Yellow's tongue would be licked clean in two or three strokes, a pair of eyes were bright, and he seemed to like this wild fairy tea, Lin Chen could only pour some more.
"I tell you, it's none of my business if I drink too much and can't sleep." Lin Chen said helplessly.
At this moment, Dahai and Dongzi suddenly walked in from outside the door, and Dongzi said with a bitter look when he saw Lin Chen, "Brother, you deduct my salary!" It's that I don't have the ability...!
"What's going on? I sold so many vegetables and strawberries today, I was just about to give you a bonus, why do I still argue about deducting my salary? Lin Chen said with a smile.
