She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, finished her meal, greeted Su Qiluo, and then turned and went to the small balcony of the villa.

She took out the soil she had prepared the day before from the storage bag, walked to a sunken open space, and put all the soil in it.

She poured out some of the medicine given to her by the scientists, took out the tea seeds from the seed bank, and buried them all in the soil.

These were the types of tea she used to drink most often: Pu'er, green tea, and black tea.

What kind of seeds are these?

I don't know, let's see what Brother Mu is up to first.

Mu Qingyun unleashed her plant-based superpowers with her left hand, injecting them into the soil. A flash of green light appeared, and tea leaves reaching her waist sprouted almost instantly.

"I recently came across an old book that introduces the ancient way of making tea, as well as some other ancient techniques."

She reached out and picked the tea leaves, putting them all into a small basket beside her.

"In the following time, I will show you the contents of that ancient book one by one."

After she had almost finished picking the tea leaves, she spread them all out. "Baby, come here for a second!"

Wow, she called him "Bao" (treasure), I'm so excited!

Su Qiluo walked over quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Use your light-based abilities to dry all these tea leaves for me." She patted the small basket beside her. "Just make sure the tea leaves are almost wilted."

“Okay.” Su Qiluo agreed to the task and began using her light-based abilities to dry the tea leaves.

Mu Qingyun then went to the kitchen and brought over a pot.

"Mu Qingyun, do you think this will work?" Su Qiluo activated her full light-based superpowers, and in no time, the tea leaves had dried to the state she wanted.

"Can."

As soon as she spoke, Su Qiluo stopped.

"Hold this pot for me. I'll start a fire later, and you'll be in charge of frying these tea leaves." She handed over the pot, while a cluster of flames ignited in her right palm.

Once the pan is heated to 200-270 degrees Celsius, you can start stir-frying. She felt the heat of the flames in her palm and continued to raise the temperature.

That's about it.

She clasped her hands together, then turned and exchanged a glance with Su Qiluo. Su Qiluo immediately understood and threw all the dried tea leaves into the pot.

The instant he threw in the tea leaves, Mu Qingyun's fire reached the bottom of the pot.

As the temperature rose, Su Qiluo began stir-frying the tea leaves, while Mu Qingyun started explaining the science behind them—

"This step is called stir-frying, which involves high-temperature stir-frying to remove the grassy smell from the tea leaves and make it easier to proceed to the next step."

Seeing that the tea leaves were almost cooked, she immediately turned off the heat and had Su Qilu put all the tea leaves back into the small basket.

Step by step, thanks to their special abilities, the tea leaves were quickly produced.

Wow, is it that complicated? Wouldn't it be incredibly difficult to do without someone around who has light or fire powers?

[You don't need to worry about that, okay? Once Brother Mu pulls this stunt, the Empire will definitely see a surge in tea-making merchants.]

That makes sense. Mu Qingyun glanced at the comments and saw this one that resonated with her.

She only wanted to teach them the traditional way of preparing tea; as for making tea, it was just to show the public how tea is made.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have to go to so much trouble. She could just livestream the tea-making process and give the tea-making method directly to Mu Jingfeng, making it much easier for him to teach the merchants.

A basket full of tea leaves, but in the end, it was condensed into a small can.

"The art of tea preparation is often used for tea competitions, usually between two or more people, but it can also be used by individuals as a pastime during their leisure time."

Mu Qingyun took a small jar of concentrated tea and walked towards the living room.

Wow, it's like watching a magic trick! There was so much tea leaves, but in the end, it all turned into a small tin, and it's getting uglier and uglier!

[You're practically illiterate, aren't you? Didn't you see the sun-drying and stir-frying? Plants contain water, and these processes evaporate that water, causing them to shrink.]

Thumbs up for the class representative!

Mu Qingyun carried the tea leaves and Su Qiluo to the living room, and took out a set of fine tea utensils from the drawer under the table.

This tea set is predominantly white, adorned with red plum blossoms that bloom on the cup walls, resembling winter plum blossoms standing proudly in the snow.

She quickly rinsed the tea set with water and then placed it on the table. This tea set was "air-freighted" to her by Mu Jingfeng when she explained the situation to him last night.

"For the first infusion, measure the tea and add boiling water until it becomes a viscous consistency," Mu Qingyun said slowly. "Use about one and a half spoonfuls of tea powder and pour boiling water over it to make it thick."

She removed all the ancient cultural references and adjectives, and tried to explain how to do it in the most ordinary and straightforward language possible.

"When pouring water, add it along the circumference of the teacup and gently, without touching the teacup."

"When stirring the tea paste, rotate your wrist around the center of the teacup, gradually increasing the force to boil it."

As Mu Qingyun spoke, she exerted force with her hands, and a layer of tea foam slowly rose on the teacup, just like yeast slowly fermenting on the surface.

"The second soup is strong and clear, with a bright and clear flavor."

The second soup, as its name suggests, is described as producing both large and small bubbles.

She first carefully poured water around the surface of the tea leaves, then poured it quickly to prevent water droplets from splashing and damaging the tea surface.

With the other hand, use a whisk (a type of tea utensil) to vigorously whisk the tea. At this point, the tea foam on the surface gradually reveals its color, and one fine bubble after another rises from the surface of the tea.

"The third soup, gently whisked until smooth, resembles millet grains and crab eyes."

...

"For the fourth soup, proceed slowly and do not rush; light clouds will gradually form."

...

"Only after the fifth infusion can you stop a little, as the tea color will have faded."

...

"The sixth soup, to observe its creation, the milky spots suddenly appear."

...

"The last soup, the seventh soup, the milky mist surged and overflowed the cup."

Mu Qingyun talked for a long time until her mouth was dry before she stopped.

To be honest, this is the most troublesome part of explaining the Way of Tea.

"Alright." He stopped and put down the teacup.

The small camera and Su Qiluo both looked into the teacup at the same time.

White milk floats on the surface of the cup, like sparse stars and a pale moon.

"Try it." She lowered her head, gesturing for Su Qiluo to taste it.

Su Qilu stared at the teacup for a long time before slowly reaching out to take it and sipping the tea from the rim.

"mastic?"

His eyes lit up with surprise, and he subconsciously began to describe the taste he was experiencing.

"Yes, when you taste the tea, the first thing you notice is the rich, creamy texture of the foam, followed by the bitterness of the tea, and then a sweet aftertaste."

I want to drink it too!

Wow, so this is how tea is drunk?

Waaah, suddenly the instant tea I'm holding doesn't smell so good anymore.

[Brother Mu, how much more do you know that I don't know about? You're amazing!]

[Brother Mu, could you please send me your hand and some tea leaves by express delivery? I really, really want to drink them.]

[I'm suddenly a little envious of General Su. Why isn't my girlfriend Mu Qingyun?]
