With god-like tea-frying skills.
They are experts at tea frying.
Put the tea leaves into the pot and start stir-frying.
Control the heat carefully.
The tea-frying time should be more than one hour.
Gu Xuan was very focused during this time.
An hour later, the first batch of tea leaves was ready.
Gu Xuan put it to his nose and smelled it.
"The first batch of tea will have a slight odor due to the new pot and other issues. However, most people won't notice it, but experienced tea masters can usually smell it. This first batch of tea has to be thrown away."
At this moment in the live stream.
Many people feel it's a pity.
'So much tea is being wasted.'
'What a pity.'
As one knowledgeable person put it.
"There's nothing to regret. The host is just being meticulous. They might not care about these things with ordinary tea, but they become very particular about truly fine tea."
"The person upstairs is right, but usually they use other cheaper tea leaves to remove the odor. However, this leaves a residue of other tea flavors. The streamer's approach is correct, but those who are making money wouldn't do it this way."
'They also make tea upstairs.'
'My family owns a company.'
'powerful.'
Next, I went to stir-fry the second batch of tea leaves.
This time he took it even more seriously.
An hour later, the tea leaves were ready.
Observe carefully.
After confirming that there were no problems and the taste was normal, I set it aside.
Then he sent a message to Nangong Jin.
Upon seeing the message, Nangong Jin went to the back mountain.
"Where is the tea?"
Gu Xuan pointed to the tea leaves on the side.
"It's over there, have a taste."
Then I brewed a pot of tea.
After a small taste, a refreshing fragrance fills the mouth.
Nangong Jin nodded.
"It really tastes good; this is tea that's been around for a hundred years."
"Yes, it's a century-old wild mountain tea."
"That's definitely a great selling point, it just should be renamed."
"What's that called?"
Nangong Jin was also thinking.
Gu Xuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"How about calling it Mountain Spring Mist and Rain?"
Nangong Jin looked at him.
Does a name have any significance?
"The tea trees grow in places where mountain springs flow, and the places where they grow are hidden in the mist in the early morning. As for rain, it also represents water."
"Mountain Spring Mist Rain, it's alright. I couldn't think of a better name, so let's just use this name."
"Um."
"I'll make a signboard and some tea barrels while I'm at it, and sell them as tea barrels."
Just as Nangong Jin was about to leave, Gu Xuan called her back.
"What kind of tea caddy do you want to choose?"
It's not that he doesn't trust Nangong Jin, but rather that he has his own ideas.
"I saw a paper version before, what do you think?"
Gu Xuan shook his head after thinking for a moment.
"If you're making high-end products, paper quality isn't quite up to par."
"Metallic materials are even worse. The metallic taste might alter the flavor of our tea, and they don't offer any moisture protection."
There was no other choice.
Nangong Jin thought for a while.
"These are the most common methods. If you don't mind the extra work, there is another way."
"Nothing else?"
"The others are not high-class."
Gu Xuan also fell into thought.
He knew that these things would definitely be available in the mall, but buying these century-old items from the mall felt like a rip-off.
If it's alcohol, it's a bit better.
"Use purple clay."
Gu Xuan's words reminded Nangong Jin.
"Yes, Zisha (purple clay) tea caddies are indeed quite nice."
Is that appropriate?
“It’s perfect. The tea you’re making is quite high-end, so it’s very suitable.”
"There are also ceramic ones, but they are a bit more troublesome to fire."
"That's definitely possible."
"Then make a few of each."
"Make several different packages."
"Sure, you can arrange those yourself."
Although there are 500 tea trees, there won't be many top-quality tea leaves.
This premium tea is sold as a high-end product.
I won't do much myself.
Control production.
Gu Xuan was very satisfied with his idea.
Nangong Jin also went to the place where she practiced making purple clay and ceramic tea canisters.
Although Gu Xuan knew how to do it, he didn't want to.
Aside from the hassle, the products I make are all high-end items, so it's a bit of a waste to just leave them like this.
He continued frying the tea.
Fry all the tea leaves picked today.
Then they put it into the cave.
Nangong Jin brought back samples of the two tea canisters within the day.
I glanced at it.
It's actually pretty good.
However, the material of Zisha clay is slightly inferior.
The same applies to ceramics.
Fortunately, there is no odor, so it is usable.
"Okay, let's order some."
"clear."
Nangong Jin only ordered a few hundred.
Gu Xuan thought of ceramics and wanted to make a few for himself.
After all, he had acquired the ceramic manufacturing technology, but had not yet used it.
However, firing porcelain takes a very long time.
That is why Gu Xuan has never produced porcelain.
Afterwards, Gu Xuan drove to the northern area.
We arrived at the porcelain factory.
All the materials and tools are readily available here.
The raw materials for firing porcelain are prepared by the system.
The quality is undeniable.
Then it was time to take action.
In the live stream room.
'This is for making porcelain.'
'The streamer can even make porcelain.'
The streamer previously mentioned they would make it, and they also have a porcelain factory.
'Making porcelain requires a lot of experience.'
'Keep watching.'
Gu Xuan glanced at the live stream and said.
"I'll try making a few porcelain pieces this afternoon."
What kind of porcelain do you want?
'Yes.'
“I’ve never had a suitable tea set, so I’ll make a few today.”
The tea sets I used before were all simple.
This time, we can finally make a complete set.
I went to the factory's porcelain kiln for an inspection.
There are two porcelain kilns here, one large and one small.
The porcelain kilns were all intact; the large ones could hold thousands of pieces of porcelain, while the small ones could only hold a hundred at most.
They inspected the kiln and examined the raw materials.
A warehouse contained a lot of clay, along with other additives.
The other side contains the glaze material.
The raw materials are all processed and can be used directly in production without further screening or grinding.
Prepare all the ingredients.
We arrived at the potter's wheel room.
To shape porcelain on a clay pot.
This time, I made tea sets.
And many styles were created.
Everyone in the live stream was amazed by Gu Xuan's skillful pottery throwing technique.
'Brother Xuan can do everything.'
'And they're very skilled at it.'
How did you do that?
"You'll have to ask Brother Xuan then."
Everyone was curious.
Gu Xuan explained.
Practice makes perfect.
The simple four-word answer left the viewers in the live stream speechless.
Saying that makes no difference whatsoever.
The wheel-throwing process alone took two hours.
Although I have god-level porcelain-making skills, I was a little slow when I first started.
More than eighty pieces of porcelain were made in two hours.
Once the porcelain blank is completed and simply dried, it is then placed in the kiln for bisque firing.
All the porcelain blanks were placed into the small kiln, and then the kiln was sealed and bisque-fired.
The burning process takes several hours.
After sealing the kiln, it was fired with wood.
