Jinjiang genuine 99
Yao Bing watched his father drink two cups of tea in a row, stopping from time to time to smell the tea with an intoxicated and comfortable expression, and then he said proudly: "How is it? Is it much better than the tea you got from Uncle Qin?"
"It's really good, at least 1-2 levels higher."
Father Yao put down the teacup and savored the taste quietly: "It is definitely the best tea before the Qingming Festival. Look at the shape of the tea, the buds and leaves are in clusters, the color is fresh, the buds are thick, and the taste is fresh and natural. This is the authentic Dongling white tea..."
He couldn't stop talking, and was obviously extremely satisfied with the tea. He changed his attitude just now and praised Yao Bing with a smile, "It turns out that my daughter has good taste."
Yao Bing immediately raised his eyebrows and raised his chin: "Of course."
Father Yao poured another cup and sipped the tea carefully: "Tea of this quality is rare. It just so happens that I don't need to ask anyone to buy other tea. Please buy me another two kilograms."
Yao Bing was slightly stunned: "Buy two kilograms at a time?"
Father Yao smiled and said, "Yes, Dad will drink this tea in spring and summer from now on."
Drink green tea in spring and summer for a refreshing feeling; drink black tea in winter for good stomach health.
A single brew of 2-3g of tea is enough for one person, twice a day. Two kilograms is enough for half a year, and the cost is not high.
For an old tea drinker like Yao's father, having tasted better tea, he naturally doesn't want to go back to ordinary tea.
People who don't drink tea often may not feel it, but for them, the taste difference between the two is really huge.
Father Yao took another sip, feeling the fresh taste, and kept exclaiming in his heart: Good tea.
Mingqian tea is precious and should be drunk fresh. After two brews, the taste became lighter, so Yao's father brewed another cup and Yao Bing also took the opportunity to taste the tea.
His father's tea-making skills are pretty good, but Yao Bing feels that it still lacks a bit of flavor compared to the ones he drinks in the store.
I guess it’s because of the tea artist, he is a professional.
Thinking of the smooth movements of the tea artist he saw at that time, Yao Bing was really envious of these retired cadres. Wow, they really know how to enjoy life.
Yao Bing quickly received the 3,000 yuan transfer from his father and planned to buy it tomorrow and taste the tea brewed by the tea artist.
Sure enough, within two days, Yao's father received an invitation from his tea friends and invited two or three people to go to the teahouse in Huajianji to taste tea.
Yao's father readily agreed.
I have been drinking Huajianji's Mingqian tea these days. The more I taste it, the better I feel its quality is, and I can't help but look forward to it.
They are all retired, have money and free time, and have no other hobbies. Their biggest pastime is playing chess and drinking tea.
They know best where the new teahouses are, which tea shop has the best tea, and which snacks are outstanding.
The speed of network and information dissemination is no less than that of young people's circles.
In terms of tickets, Huajianji is the same as other state-owned botanical gardens and parks. Those over 60 years old enjoy a half-price discount, and those over 65 years old enjoy free tickets.
So these retired cadres basically don’t have to pay any ticket fees when they come here.
Liao Yi asked someone to book a private room. The three of them entered from Gate 2 of Huajianji and arrived after walking for about ten minutes.
This was the first time for Mr. Yao to come to the botanical garden. Before this, he had never imagined that a teahouse would be opened in a botanical garden.
But I have to say, the environment here is very relaxing.
They came on a weekday, and the May Day Golden Week had just passed, so the number of tourists returned to normal levels, allowing them to enjoy the scenery along the way.
The water of Swan Lake is clear and the reeds are dense. The feathers of the white swans and black swans are dense and neat without a trace of color. Their elegant posture floating on the water makes several people stop and take a look.
The baby swans born in March have grown up. Although they are not as big as their parents, they are three or four times bigger than before. They are gradually shedding their light grey fluff and are slowly transforming from 'ugly ducklings' into white swans.
Today, they can swim independently in deep water, hunt independently, and are flapping their wings to try to fly.
When migratory birds migrate, which is from October to November, they will transform into real white swans and fly high.
At that time, the young birds are only one size smaller than their parents and their development speed is amazing.
In May, when the weather warms up, which is the breeding season for swans, two pairs of adult white swans and two pairs of black swans will mate one after another, and more baby swans will be born next month.
The employees learned from their experience this time and decided not to disturb them, otherwise they would definitely be chased by the geese that are over one meter long, and there would be more than one!
Thinking of their huge wings and powerful fighting ability, Liu Yi and others couldn't help but tremble.
Only Ye Han and the keeper Xu Guangyin can get close to them.
Today, the reeds outside the hatchery are becoming more and more lush, growing to more than two meters high, providing them with a safe breeding ground.
Every day Ye Han would bring lush aquatic plants and small fish and shrimps to feed the mother swan to provide them with nutrition.
Otherwise, they will not leave the nest during the incubation period, and the male swan will have to guard outside, and the number of times they feed will be very few.
Father Yao couldn't help but watch the elegant white swan floating gently in the water, burying its head in its wings from time to time to preen its feathers.
It is rare to see such a clean and beautiful swan.
The lavender all over the mountains also began to grow buds, floating gently in the wind, and the lavender color gradually spread, but it was not dense enough, and it would take another half a month to fully bloom.
But at first glance, it has already taken shape. The windmill, more than ten meters high, is dazzling under the sunlight and rotates slowly, forming a wonderful scenery.
Many people are taking pictures with cameras beside the vast sea of flowers. I believe there is no need for warm-up. Once the sea of flowers grows, countless tourists will come to appreciate it.
Going further, when approaching the foot of the tea garden, a faint tea fragrance permeates your nose. Looking up, you will see the lush and green tea gardens on the mountain, winding up in rows in the shape of stairs. The sight of green is refreshing.
Father Yao admired the scenery along the way and finally understood why his daughter always came here.
The botanical garden had beautiful scenery and fresh air, which made him relax involuntarily, as if he had abandoned the boredom of mundane affairs and completely integrated into nature.
There were many tourists in the dining area on the first floor, which seemed a bit noisy. However, when the three of them walked up the outer stairs on the first floor to the second floor, the feeling suddenly became different.
All the noisy sounds are far away, leaving only the lingering scent of sandalwood and the quiet sound of the guqin. The antique decoration and the landscape paintings hanging in the corridor are quite artistic.
Open the wooden sliding door of the reserved box, and you will see a wide space with bamboo water landscape in front of you. The gurgling water adds a sense of Zen.
Although the flowers in the vase are dried, they look like freshly bloomed flowers, bringing a touch of beauty and color to the quiet box.
A tea artist dressed in indigo tea art uniform was already waiting in the box.
The tea artists here have pretty faces and good figures, but they are actually not young.
Because they are more experienced, they are basically in their 30s, but they give people a dignified and elegant temperament, without excessive dressing, and look very comfortable.
The tea artist in this private room is named Cen Qian. She originally worked in a teahouse in the city center and had a decent salary, but the pressure of meeting the indicators has been increasing in the past two years.
Today's teahouses are not just places for leisurely tea tasting, but most importantly, they sell tea.
The consumption in the teahouse starts at 100 yuan, but customers don’t come every day. If you can sell a kilogram of tea, the commission will be high.
The tea sold in teahouses is generally more expensive and has high profits. If tea costs 1,000 yuan per pound, they can make 150 yuan, so everyone is working hard to sell tea.
Originally, the competition was about tea-brewing skills and taste, but now it’s about being young, beautiful, sweet-talking and good at salesmanship.
A lot of old customers have left, and other customers are also quite disgusted with this sales method. Unfortunately, when it comes to profits, who cares about these things?
Cen Qian was originally a senior tea artist at the teahouse. She had a calm personality and was the favorite tea artist among old customers. However, when it came to performance indicators, she was not as good as the several new junior tea artists in terms of sales.
She had no complaints about those people. Their ability to get customers to buy was a skill, but she was really not suitable for this kind of job, so she resigned.
The boss didn't even bother to try to persuade her to stay, but just rejected her offer with a wave of his hand, which made Cen Qian see the true nature of the matter.
So I came to Huajianji to apply for a job.
Here, the director has clearly stated that as long as the tea-making skills are outstanding, there is no need to actively promote the tea. Not only will there be no promotion, but there will also be purchase limits.
Especially the tribute-grade first-picked tea, there are only 120 kilograms in total, of course it cannot be sold at will, it is packed in a gift box of 200g, only for old customers, and the purchase is limited to one.
That’s really great!
Cen Qian doesn’t like sales, and being in her 30s doesn’t give her any advantages in the recruitment market. This is definitely the most satisfying and suitable job she can find!
With a smile on her face, she led the three customers into the private room and seated them. There was a gold-embossed tea menu on the table.
Cen Qian was not in a hurry to introduce the set meal, but instead skillfully washed the tea set. After displaying the tea leaves, the customers would naturally make their choice.
As a returning customer, Liao Yi placed his order without waiting for the order: "Let's order the tribute-grade first-grade tea set this time. Oh, the taste is really good. When I go back and drink other teas... they are not as good as before."
The tone of the tea has been improved, and other teas cannot reach this level. Naturally, you will miss it when you go back.
He looked at Father Yao again: "You will know after you try it. The snacks here are not bad. The tea cakes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside..."
Father Yao seldom saw this tea lover so talkative, which showed that he was very satisfied with this place, which was quite rare among such old cadres who often tasted tea.
After warming the cup, the tea artist rang the bell and handed the sign for the 388 set meal to the outer room.
Yao's father also took the menu and took a look. 388 yuan was indeed not cheap.
But with three of us taking turns to treat, and the average cost per person being 130 yuan, it's not a bad idea to come once in a while.
He took another look at the elegant environment of the box and the actions of the tea artist, and his first impression of this place was very good. Of course, the most important thing was the tea.
The tea artist opens the sealed porcelain jar, carefully takes out 15g of tea leaves with a teaspoon, places them on a weighing device to bear the weight, and measures them accurately.
The tribute-grade first-picked tea is precious and there must be no error in a single pick.
Then put the first 5g of tea into the tea appreciation saucer and show it to everyone to appreciate.
The quality is really high!
Father Yao watched the tea leaves spread out and picked. Almost all of them were buds, with only one bud and one leaf. They were of uniform length and whitish in color. Not much chlorophyll had been produced yet, so the color was extremely fresh.
This means that the tea was picked early, but the buds are very plump. You can only pick one bud out of a thousand. And it takes 40,000 to 50,000 buds to fry one kilogram of such tea. It is well-deserved to be called a tribute grade.
The sound of the guqin is melodious and pleasant, matched with the sound of flowing water and the movements of the tea artist, it is truly an enjoyable experience.
This grade of tea does not need to be washed, just simply soak it in clear mountain spring water, and a fresh tea fragrance will then emerge, which is not strong, but intoxicating.
Cen Qian's wrists flew, and the tea hardly splashed when she shook the incense. The jade liquid returned to the pot, and she raised her white hands lightly to pour the tea in the pot gently into the fairness cup. The series of movements were as smooth as flowing water, and the tea brewing time and temperature were controlled just right. It would be impossible to do it without several years of practice.
The three of them stared at the tea artist's actions intently, waiting for their first cup of tea.
Father Yao smelled the fragrance of the tea and looked at the clear and bright tea soup. The color was so pure. The tea buds that sunk to the bottom of the cup looked like stretched phoenix feathers. The buds were plump, slightly white in color, and each root was distinct, evenly bright, worthy of being a tribute-grade tea.
Take a sip, and the refreshing feeling spreads from your mouth to your lungs. It is so fresh, tender, clean and elegant, it is the ultimate enjoyment.
No one spoke for a while, everyone was quietly enjoying this rare taste.
The water in the tea room is filtered through an irrigation system and is comparable to the purest spring water. The water quality is extremely high and it tastes sweet when you drink it alone. It is perfect for making tea.
With the tea artist's skillful techniques, the characteristics of the tribute-grade tea are fully revealed, and the tea aroma is pleasant.
After three brewings, Cen Qian poured the tea leaves into the tea bucket, cleaned the tea set, and started the second round of brewing after 5 minutes.
At this time, the pastries were served.
Served on a long bamboo dessert plate, it complements the environment and looks very exquisite.
Green tea cakes, osmanthus cakes, mung bean cakes, and pineapple cakes are all classic snacks. Tea cakes and osmanthus cakes are the main ones, and paired with a plate of fresh blanched spring bamboo shoots, this afternoon tea is also very good.
Father Yao picked up a piece of tea cake, took a bite, and the layers of crispness exploded on his taste buds, with a rich tea aroma.
It uses top-grade Dongling white tea, which is crushed at low temperature to retain the aroma and color of the tea to the greatest extent. The pastry is evenly colored and has a crispy outer texture, giving it the unique flavor of Jiangnan.
And it was freshly made and still warm.
The osmanthus cake is soft and delicious, the mung bean cake is refreshing and natural, and the pineapple cake is not as sweet as those on the market, with a slight sweetness, very delicious, and very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people like them.
After all, at this age, it is normal to have diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and you should pay more attention to your diet.
The bamboo shoots were so delicious that they made your mouth water and were quickly eaten up.
Bamboo shoots have high nutritional value. They not only contain a large amount of plant protein and dietary fiber, but also contain a variety of amino acids and vitamins. They are also very low in fat. Eating them can prevent the three highs, moisturize the intestines, promote bowel movements, supplement nutrition, and aid digestion. ①
Not only delicious, but also healthy.
As soon as the snacks were served, three plates were empty, leaving only one piece of mung bean cake and one piece of pineapple cake for each of the three people.
Paired with the tribute-grade tea at the back, I sipped it slowly and savored it carefully. I stayed in the box for two hours before leaving with great satisfaction.
The order of entertaining guests had been arranged before leaving, so I guess the next visit won’t be far away.
Half a month after the teahouse opened, Boss Feng called and said, "Congratulations! The teahouse business is so hot. I didn't expect the private rooms to be fully booked so quickly. All the old customers have come to me. Are there any more?"
Ye Han looked at the reservations in the backstage: "No more. The earliest will be three days later."
Boss Feng: "Okay, then I'll talk to him."
"I heard that a lot of officials came to your place. It seems that the retired director of the Tourism Bureau and people from government departments have all gone there?"
Ye Han smiled and said, "I'm not sure about that. But I think these retired leaders don't want to be disturbed."
Since he became famous, several heavyweights have indeed come.
Old leaders like these basically like to drink tea, and with the compliments from their subordinates, they have become very picky eaters and don't even bother with ordinary tea.
The first-picked tea from Huajianji made their eyes light up. It was of higher quality than what they usually drank. If conditions allowed, who wouldn’t like the best?
So I became a regular here.
But Ye Han never thought about deliberately building relationships.
Firstly, it is not necessary. Secondly, just drink tea. If you mix other things into it, it will look bad.
Anyway, they are here as a living signboard, which shows that Huajianji's tea is of high quality. When other people know about it, they will be afraid of this newly opened teahouse.
This effect is enough.
In addition to the tea room being fully booked, the sales of Mingqian tea have also been very good recently.
After the tea artist’s demonstration, tourists who had tasted the tea bought some to take back. They might choose a small package to experience it for the first time, but the second time they repurchased it, they basically chose a 100-gram package, which doubled the amount.
Although Huajianji is a botanical garden, the sales of its new tea are surprisingly not worse than those of Boss Feng.
Not to mention the tribute-grade tea, which can only be purchased in a gift box, but this kind of tea is best experienced in the teahouse.
As experienced tea drinkers, we all know that this kind of tribute-grade first-picked tea is hard to come by.
Not to mention the quality, even the top-grade first-picked tea cannot produce more than two or three kilograms per acre. Unless it is a tea garden of a thousand acres, it is simply not large enough to supply unlimited quantities.
There are a total of 120 kilograms of tribute-grade tea, which is extremely precious and will be gone once it is drunk. Everyone understands this, so there is a constant stream of people making reservations.
Starting from the second week, the box has never been vacant and needs to be booked in advance.
Ye Han originally thought that he would not be able to make a profit in the first year of opening the tea garden.
At that time, it cost 2.6 million yuan to introduce 30 acres of tea trees, plus the maintenance, watering, labor costs since the first half of the year, and manual tea picking costs of more than 300,000 yuan; in addition, there are the costs of tea packaging and customized packaging boxes. The overall cost is about 3.5 million yuan.
Fortunately, the tea is all top grade and the tea room has huge profits. In addition to meeting the needs of the beverage shop, there should be a surplus of two to three million.
Ye Han was very satisfied with this.
As for Professor Ye, after a month of contact, Ye Han revealed the matter of the research and development port to the other party. The other party was very excited and was submitting it to the national department for discussion.
Too late, too late
