Chapter 6 Kaichun Tea, Green Maojian(1/2)
During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily.
It rained heavily for three consecutive days. Today, on April 1, God finally had eyes, the clouds and the fog dissipated, the sun was shining, and finally it was sunny.
After heavy rain, you cannot pick tea immediately. You must wait until the rainwater on the tea tree is dry before picking.
Luo Yan invited a group of tea pickers from her parents' home, men, women, young and 200, carrying small bamboo baskets to the mountain to pick tea.
At the bottom of the mountain, Zhuo Yifan drove a white off-road vehicle and parked on the side of Luoyan Tea Garden, waiting for her first batch of tender buds to go down the mountain. Today, he asked two helpers to specifically call tea and deliver tea.
Before, Luo Yan carefully taught me how to stir-fry Maojian tea. My fingers were burned countless times, but now my fingers are still red and burning. Today, the weather is beautiful and the sun shines. According to the mobile phone online weather forecast, there will be no rain in the next three days, and there will be heavy rain in seven days. People in Tianyun Village took advantage of the weather and quickly got up early and went to bed late to pick the tenderest Maojian tea.
Two hours later, the tea collector went down the mountain.
Zhuo Yifan ran over and looked at it. The tender tips of the buds smelled the aroma of tea. It was an intoxicating fragrance.
When he got into the car, Zhuo Yifan took the ten kilograms of fresh tea and went back to start work immediately. Two masters at home were waiting to start working to stir-fry tea.
Everything is ready, only tea leaves are needed, Zhuo Yifan drove to the old house for only two minutes.
Get off the car and run into the old house with a bamboo basket in my hand.
Two young masters took over the tea. They were tea-fried teachers who graduated from school and had two years of actual tea-fried experience. Zhuo Yifan was on the side.
In the past, I really thought I could stir-fry tea. After actual verification, Zhuo Yifan realized that no one would do when stir-frying tea. It was only after devilish training that it reached the level of ease of craftsmanship. So I gave up and changed the idea of stir-frying tea by myself to give money to ask for people. It was the best choice to be a boss.
According to the experience of tea stir-frying in Tianyun Village, after the rain, one pound of dry tea is fried for four pounds of tea, and one pound of dry tea is fried for about three pounds of 7 ounces of tea before the rain. After the tender tea is weighed by electronics, it is normal to have a pot of dry tea per pound.
One pound of dried hairy green tea can be fried in a pot. Zhuo Yifan clearly remembers this standard.
The wages of tea-fried chefs are calculated based on how many kilograms of dry tea can they be fried. How much can they be fried? Neither of them can be calculated because there are too many uncertain factors.
Zhuo Yifan helped raise the big firewood.
The two young masters reached into the hot 180-degree iron pot with bare hands and started to stir-fry.
Fried tea is to quickly finish and dehydrate, and quickly protect the trace elements in the tea from loss. Why can't machinery and equipment replace hand-made fried tea? The concept of Zhuo Yifan is not yet understood.
Handmade tea is a traditional tea, especially Maojian tea. Its market price positioning is several levels higher than machine-fried tea. Zhuo Yifan has always been determined to be a irreplaceable for machine-fried tea.
A pot of tea needs to be stir-fried and kneaded five times, and the time is not determined by the standard. Whether it is successful or not is a first-class good tea, the key lies in the eyes of the tea stir-fried chef.
Zhuo Yifan stayed next to the tea stir-frying master and was calm. For the first time, he used his lack of experience to control the master's eyesight, and I had to carefully observe the quality of the tea at this time.
"How is it?" Luo Yan came to her side and asked.
Zhuo Yifan observed carefully incomprehensible and said, "It's almost done."
Luo Yan went there in person, grabbed a handful of tea from the wok and took it out, then put it in the pot and the master continued to fry it, nodding very satisfied.
"Master, can you fry the green hair tips here?" Zhuo Yifan bent down and asked.
The two masters laughed when they smelled it.
“Everyone who teas here can be fried.”
"Is that true?" Zhuo Yifan didn't seem to understand.
"Green hair tips are better than white hair tips, right?" Zhuo Yifan continued to ask with concern.
“There are no white hair tips here.”
The two masters said and shook their heads.
Zhuo Yifan was still confused and expressed doubts that he couldn't figure it out.
"The tea we stir-fried here is all green hairy tips." Luo Yan took out a bud and said, "Look, do you see, do you have white fluff on the buds?"
Zhuo Yifan then found carefully that the buds on his fingers did not have white fluff, but they saw green fluff. Now he finally understood that green hairy tea is the specialty tea of our Tianyun Tea. The essential difference between it and white hairy tea is not the craft, but the tea itself.
When I drank Zhuo Gang's green hairy tea, I thought it was the best one that only his family made.
At this time, I realized it very well.
Zhuo Yifan took out his mobile phone to search for the Baidu girl. The search results showed that there was no word "green hairy tea" at all, only many other similar advertisements. The search results showed more information about white hairy tea and its market reference price.
With a sudden inspiration, Zhuo Yifan mastered the information about the best tea. The market positioning of Green Hair Sword is far higher than that of White Hair Sword Tea.
"Out of the pot!" a master shouted.
After stir-frying and kneading a dish of green tea for five times, a pot of green hairy tea is formed and released. Its shape is similar to that of eyebrow tea.
Eyebrow tea is a type of green tea. Eyebrow tea is shaped like a eyebrows, called eyebrow tea, also called eyebrow tea. Green haired tip is also a type of eyebrow tea. Green haired tip tea is a special tea of Tianyun Village Tea. Because it is not famous and does not have a brand of green haired tip, it cannot find its sample introduction in the online dictionary.
After the final process of green hairy tea is completed and after cooling, you can make fresh green tea and drink it.
After the work starts and comes out of the pot, you must drink it as the boss.
Luo Yan took the boiled boiling water, put the first pot of fresh green tea into a glass cup, and poured the boiling water at a maximum of ten degrees.
After a while, the green hair tips are suspended in the water, with clear layers of upper and lower levels.
When it comes to green tea, it depends on the quality of tea, and it depends on the quality of tea in layers.
I saw the soup color.
Depending on the color of the soup, the higher the transparency, the better the tea quality. The greener the soup color, the less craftsmanship or the poor nature of the tea leaves.
Zhuo Yifan and Luo Yan followed the master and saw that the soup in the glass was well-proportioned and transparent, with a slight green light.
From the appearance, this green hair tip is the best, but it is a little worse. This may be related to tea. This is because the tea leaves are full of moisture after the rain, which is the reason why the tea leaves are not finished enough.
Smell the soup twice.
Smell the fragrance of the soup and lasts for a long time. The more fragrant the tea, the better the tea quality. It should be maintained for a long time.
Zhuo Yifan smelled it and the first cup of tea reached a high fragrance and lasting lasting effect.
Three tastes of soup.
Taste the soup with a strong taste, mellow taste, fresh and pure fragrance.
Zhuo Yifan drank the first sip of green hairy tea, which reached the standard of mellow and strong taste, and had a long aftertaste.
"Good tea!"
After the two tea stir-fryers passed the three levels, they all realized that it was the best tea.
Zhuo Yifan and Luo Yan looked at each other and continued to taste the first cup of green hairy tea this year.
From the finished tea, Zhuo Yifan saw that the green hair pointed tea strips were tight, green and moist, with a high and long-lasting fragrance, and a tight and distinct green hair. It belongs to the best evergreen green tea.
Luo Yan followed Zhuo Yifan to watch it carefully. This was the finished product made from his own tea. It was the same as the one he cooked.
It was so sweet that he went to the bottom of his heart, Luo Yan smiled sharply at Zhuo Yifan.
The phone rang.
Zhuo Yifan took out his cell phone and saw that it was his old classmate Zhuo Gang's phone number.
"Hey, Boss Zhuo, hello!" Zhuo Yifan connected to his phone and said.
Luo Yan saw him calling a boss Zhuo, and he had found the buyer.
"Okay, thank you!" Zhuo Yifan finished speaking, and put his smile on his face.
Zhuo Yifan put his phone in his trouser pocket and went to Luo Yan to whisper: "Zhuo Gang's phone number."
"Zhuo Gang?" Luo Yan thought of him and had no good impression of him. He was simply a pervert who once harassed me on WeChat and those erotic pictures.
"Well, he heard that I've made tea. He asked me to take some samples and show him. If the quality is good, I can help me sell it." Zhuo Yifan said while going to another quiet place.
Luo Yan followed him and listened to him.
"He wants to receive your tea?" Luo Yan heard the question.
"Well. How much tea can I make today?" Zhuo Yifan was worried that he would not make many kilograms of green hair tips today.
"Look. I'll go to the tea garden to help pick tea." Luo Yan said when she knew it.
Zhuo Yifan hurriedly after seeing her say it.
Just a few steps, Luo Yan took out her cell phone and answered, "Yifan, is there anything wrong?"
"Tomorrow, let's go together tomorrow."
"Where to Zhuo Gang?" Luo Yan asked hesitantly.
"Well, I'll talk about it."
"Well, be careful on the mountain and don't fall."
Luo Yan smiled beautifully when she smelled the sound of her heart, and then her heart became warm, and her body and mind were refreshed like she was in love.
"Yifan!" Zhuo Yifan heard the shout and immediately hung up the phone with Luo Yan, turned around and saw that the village branch reporter was coming.
"Uncle!" Zhuo Yifan ran two steps to the village party secretary. He was Zhuo Gang's father, named Zhuo Tianhai, an old party secretary, the same age as my father, and he was fifty-one.
"Yifan, make tea." The village clerk walked to the fried green hairy tea with his hands on his back, grabbed it and smelled it, and took a look.
"Hehe, uncle, it's the first time I'm making tea." Zhuo Yifan said with a smile in front of him.
"Yes." Village Party Secretary Zhuo Tianhai nodded and said, "You must pick the tea in spring in time and don't stir-fry the tea overnight."
"Well, I know. The tea I picked today must be fried." Zhuo Yifan followed him.
