Chapter 55 55 Tea Quality

Chapter 55 55. Tea Quality

Song Sancheng quickly responded: "Here, wait!"

He quickly picked up the pole and went down the mountain.

Standing at the door was Zhou Maozhu from the same village. This time, the family's tea was entrusted to him to fry.

Frying tea also depends on the heat. Some are too strong, some are too raw, and the finished product is always not so satisfactory. Only Zhou Maozhu worked in those big tea factories for a long time when he was young, and now his skills are the most stable.

Originally, it was agreed that they would be collected every night, and he would process it at night.

Unexpectedly, the tea was particularly lush this time, so that the five people picked a lot of tea. Zhou Maozhu didn't have a tea frying machine at home, so he might have to stay up all night.

But in the village, he was the best craftsman, and he still had a tea frying stove at home.

Other places are far away, and secondly, people now use tea frying machines to fry collectively, and it is not easy to process if they are sent alone.

When he saw Song Sancheng, he couldn't help but smile on his equally weathered face:

"Sancheng, your family is really blessed by the God of Land this year, come and take a look at this tea!"

He opened the transparent plastic bag at hand, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air!

"Yesterday, a total of 25 jin and 2 liang of Maojian were sent over. You said there was no need to sift, so I didn't sift. I saw that the ones I picked were quite pure, with few leaves."

The most popular local tea is Maojian, which has only one bud tip. The second is the one with one leaf, and then the more leaves, the less valuable it is.

Farmers who specialize in tea will strictly classify the grades and set different prices, but Song Sancheng's family only has such a piece of land, so there is no need for this.

Zhou Maozhu reached out and took out a handful of dry dark green tea with a layer of white fluff and showed it to him:

"One pound for every three and a half pounds, and after frying, the total is a little over seven pounds. But didn't you say you wanted to sell it? I deliberately dried it a little drier for easier preservation."

"But in this way, five pounds of whole dry tea were produced this time. You can pick the leaves when you have time later."

All of them had done the work, and as soon as Zhou Maozhu said the number, Song Sancheng knew whether it was accurate or not.

He smelled the refreshing tea fragrance, and now he felt his throat was dry. So he nodded and quickly pulled people into the house:

"Come on, let's make two cups and see the color of the soup!"

The best Maojian tea must not be brewed with boiling water. It happened that the water in the thermos at home was boiled early in the morning. It was an old thermos with average heat preservation ability. It was estimated that the temperature was just right at this time.

Song Sancheng took out two glass cups, put two handfuls of tea leaves in each, washed the tea simply, and then began to taste it impatiently.

——It's not professional or not, it all depends on experience.

As the crystal water flowed, the dark green dry tea rolled in the water instantly, and then slowly expanded, showing a delicate and beautiful emerald green color.

A faint fragrance slowly filled the room, and Song Sancheng couldn't help but take two deep breaths. This time, he really felt that the land god had opened his eyes and showed his power in their fields!

Where in his life had he ever smelled such fragrant tea leaves?

Zhou Maozhu looked at the upright Maojian in the cup, and his eyes were filled with pride and joy:

"Sancheng, your tea is really amazing this year!"

"It was just put into the pot yesterday, and the fragrance was stimulated all at once! When I smelled it during the killing process, I felt refreshed all over and felt more and more comfortable."

"Later, it became more and more fragrant, and the whole yard smelled refreshed. It's just that the refreshing effect is a bit strong. I haven't had time to taste it yet. Maybe I smelled it too much and stayed up all night, but I'm not sleepy now."

The killing process that Zhou Maozhu mentioned is not the killing process in the movie, but the initial step of their local tea frying, which is mainly used to stimulate the tea fragrance, evaporate water, and make the tea softer and easier to roll.

Generally, tea leaves will have a wet tea fragrance in this process, and the taste is quite unique.

But just smelling the tea fragrance during the frying process is so refreshing, and it can also make Zhou Maozhu, who has worked in a large tea factory, say so...

Song Sancheng couldn't help but smile when he smelled the fragrance that filled the room again.

At this time, Zhou Maozhu asked embarrassedly: "Sancheng, how do you plan to sell this tea? After the tea is fried, can you give me a pound?"

How to sell it?

Song Sancheng didn't know either!

He only knew that his daughter was capable, and the wild vegetables in the field could be frying 21 pounds, but this tea... I dare not think about it.

But at this moment, Zhou Maozhu's request was not excessive.

He began to think that the output was small, and frying tea would not take a few hours, and the wages negotiated with Zhou Maozhu were 120 yuan a day. With his skills, if he went out to work, it would be tiring, but he could at least get 300 to 400 yuan a day!

No matter how expensive this tea is, the butcher usually has to bring something back, so give it!

Song Sancheng made the decision:

"Old Zhou, I think our tea mountain will produce a lot this year. I guess you will have to stay up all night every night during this period. It will definitely work if you give me tea."

"But we can't be sure about the weather and production. Anyway, if it's almost the same as today, then I will make the decision-"

"Let's do this, I will give you one catty of pre-Qingming tea!"

"Two catties of pre-rain tea."

"If there is more later, how about five catties of summer and autumn tea?"

Most Maojian teas are most expensive before Qingming, followed by Grain Rain, and when it comes to summer tea, the price drops a big step again.

Of course, there are summer teas in summer and white dew teas in autumn, each with its own flavor. It all depends on whether the teas are worth such a long investment this year.

Song Sancheng's gift is really generous.

It's all because Zhou Maozhu is attentive and honest. If someone else came, he would steal one or two taels a day when frying tea leaves, and there would be a lot in a month.

Song Sancheng smiled embarrassedly: "You know, my family Tan Tan is in charge of this now, and we, as parents, are just helping her."

The implication is that he can't give more, and he can't make the decision.

Zhou Maozhu is already satisfied, and even overjoyed.

"Okay, okay! Okay, okay! I know your tea must be expensive! Don't worry, I will definitely roast your tea well, and not waste it at all."

"Oh," he has already started rubbing his hands, sighing: "You said there are so many good teas, I have to keep the pre-rain tea for myself to drink slowly."

"If summer tea is of this quality, I will give it to my son as a gift, which is better than the thousands of dollars outside."

Song Sancheng laughed: "You choose summer tea as a gift for your son? Why don't you choose pre-rain tea?"

However, Zhou Maozhu shook his head:

"You don't understand, just this tea, I have never tasted such good tea in my life, what kind of gift is so exaggerated!"

The most important thing is that summer tea is five kilograms, and one kilogram is given at a time. If someone likes it and wants more, it will be convenient to strike while the iron is hot!

"We are just this family, we can do what we can, summer tea is fine."

No more, no more, come to the comment section!

I slept too much, and the update on 8.9 will be late.
