"Brother, take your wife away quickly. I'm going to have some thoughts."
"Why don't you take Shengbao away?"
"That's fine, I'll take Shengbao away, just don't let my sister-in-law come over here."
Shen Xuanwen rolled his eyes at Gu Ye. The two men followed quickly.
Zhang Cuihua prepared a rich breakfast, including steamed egg custard, noodles with green onions, and meat porridge.
"Ranran and Shengbao, eat more." Zhang Cuihua said with a smile.
Ji Qingran's face turned red and he lowered his head, embarrassed to look at Zhang Cuihua.
Shen Yuesheng was helpless, and she didn't know if she did it on purpose, but just saying this made her and Ji Qingran feel ashamed.
"Grandma, I want you to do me a small favor, okay?"
Shen Yuesheng quickly changed the subject.
"Shengbao, what's the matter? I will definitely get it done for you."
"I just picked some tea leaves yesterday and wanted you to stir-fry them for me, but I don't know how."
"I don't know how to do this either. I'll go to the village entrance and ask your grandmother Liu. She used to be a maid in a wealthy family and knows a lot."
"Thank you, grandma."
"What are you thanking me for? Grandma is gone. You guys should have a good breakfast."
"Yeah!" Shen Yuesheng nodded.
Looking at Zhang Cuihua's back as she left, he finally tricked her into leaving.
In a short while, they finished their late breakfast.
Gu Ye and Shen Xuanwen washed the dishes.
Shen Yuesheng went back to the courtyard of Gu's house to take out the tea leaves, and then brought them back to the Shen family, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why he suddenly took things out of the space.
Zhang Cuihua and Shen Yuesheng arrived at the door together.
"Shengbao, have you gone to get the tea leaves?" Zhang Cuihua looked at the leaves in Shen Yuesheng's backpack, which were green with a hint of purple.
"Yes, milk."
"Let's go in and fry the tea leaves. Your grandmother Liu has already taught me. It's quite simple. The nine steps are a bit much."
"Then grandma will teach me, and I will join in."
It’s okay, it’s just a small matter. I’ll be fine after I get some milk. Just have a good rest today. ”
Shen Yuesheng pretended not to understand what Zhang Cuihua said.
"Grandma, you two should move faster."
"Okay, grandma will teach you."
In fact, Shen Yuesheng knew how to roast tea leaves, but in the future, Zhang Cuihua would say more shocking things, so he could only laugh it off.
The general steps of frying tea leaves:
1. Prepare tea leaves: Select fresh tea leaves, spread them out to dry, remove impurities, and control the thickness to about 2-3 cm.
2. Tea frying pot: Wash the tea frying pot clean, without any oil, then light a fire and wait until the temperature rises to a suitable temperature for frying tea (usually 190-210℃).
3. Put the tea leaves into the pot: Put a certain amount of tea leaves in the pot and stir-fry so that the tea leaves are evenly distributed on the wall of the pot.
4. The first round of frying: Control the time and fry the tea leaves until they turn yellow. At the same time, the tea fragrance will waft out. This process is called "killing the green".
5. Second round of frying: Take out the tea leaves that have been withered, put them back into the pot and continue frying. Generally, the time is longer than the first round. This process is called "returning to green".
6. Control temperature and humidity: For different types of tea, the frying temperature and frying time are different, and the temperature and humidity need to be controlled according to the characteristics of the tea.
7. Quality assessment: After frying, the tea leaves should be tasted to assess their aroma, flavor, color and other indicators to determine their quality.
8. Packaging: After being roasted and tasted, the tea will be packaged and sealed as required for storage or sale.
There are basically eight steps: picking, withering, fermentation, killing, rolling, drying, refining and packaging.
The details of tea frying are different for different types.
However, tea frying should be simpler in this era!
Shen Yuesheng had never seen it before, so she was thinking that when Zhang Cuihua taught her later, if there were any very different operations, she would pretend to make suggestions and then follow the methods of later generations.
When Mr. Gu came back from a stroll outside, he saw a group of people washing and hanging things.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Grandpa, this is another surprise."
"Oh, this is tea." Mr. Gu walked closer and took a look, and found that it was a kind of tea that he had never seen before.
"Yes, Grandpa, Gu Ye and I found more than ten trees on the back hill. I think they should be good tea, so I plan to go home and try them."
"Looking at the color of this tea before it's roasted, it must be good tea. It smells so good."
"Grandpa, we should be able to drink it tonight."
"Well, I'll wait, and I'll have a good bite."
"You also like wine and antiques. You have many hobbies."
Grandma Gu ruthlessly exposed Grandpa Gu.
Grandpa Gu didn't dare to respond and could only stand aside.
Shen Yuesheng quietly approached her aunt and Zhang Cuihua: "Grandma, I have prepared another surprise for you."
"Shengbao, this bowl of water must be fair! No one should be left behind." Grandma Gu teased Shen Yuesheng while sifting tea leaves.
"No, I started preparing this a long time ago, but I just finished it these few days. I just happened to come across this tea, so I took it out together."
"Hahaha, our Gu family really picked up a treasure!" The aunt's gentle laughter rang out.
The few of them worked quickly and started frying tea leaves around 2:00 p.m.
The steps Zhang Cuihua described were basically the same as those in later generations, so Shen Yuesheng did not get involved. He just came to check from time to time, and left when there was no problem.
Shen Yuesheng also secretly instructed Gu Ye to go back and get the river clams.
Of course, he went out with a bucket of clams and came back with a bucket of clams.
Nothing wrong.
