Na0032 Tea upgrade
A new day, July is turning into the beginning of the chapter.
The price increase of Xiaojingzhai dishes was arranged clearly by Gu Kaiwen, and there was no room for refutation. He could only choose to accept it or not visit Xiaojingzhai.
Jinshan District, Xinghai Lake.
On the night of the first day of July, Gu Kaiwen followed Yun Haibo to the Gujia Tea House and prepared to check the situation of the tea garden.
According to the feedback from the natural consciousness expression, tomorrow is a fifteen-day period, and the Gu family’s tea garden should have basically recovered.
No!
To be precise, under the cover of the natural life field, the tea tree status of Gujia Tea Garden should be better than before, and the quality of tea leaves should be better.
"Master Yun, how is the situation in the tea garden?" Gu Kaiwen asked.
Recently, the tea shop has been closed for the past, and Yun Zhongyang has been in the tea shop. "I can't explain the situation in the tea garden." Yun Zhongyang responded that he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Hmm?" Gu Kaiwen showed a puzzled look, "Master Yun, have you found any problems?"
Yun Zhongyang sighed, "There is nothing wrong. But there is an indescribable change in the tea garden. Those old tea trees seem to have a new life bursting out, which is a bit like... rejuvenation... the opponent! It's rejuvenation!"
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Gu Kaiwen was very clear about the changes in the tea garden, but he pretended to be confused with his understanding. No matter how good his relationship with Yun Zhongyang was, he would not say anything favored by his natural consciousness.
"I picked a piece of tender bud this morning and ate it raw..." Yun Zhongyang paused for a moment before sighing, "I feel that those tea trees are in very good condition!"
"Very good?" Gu Kaiwen asked back, "What level is it about?"
In fact, there is no unified level for tea.
Different types of tea have different levels of division, such as the level 6, 12th grade for fried green, or 14th grade for seven, 15th grade for the first and first rain of Longjing tea, and other levels for other levels.
The level that Gu Kaiwen asked about was actually the price level.
For example, the retail price of a pound of third-level Longjing is about 100 yuan per catty.
The tea in Gujia Tea House is a wild path that is picked all year round. In terms of price, it is naturally not as good as the famous teas such as Longjing, Biluochun, etc.
Yun Zhongyang thought about it for a while before responding, "It's already July, but I think its quality will not be lower than that of ordinary Mingqian Longjing Tea!"
"So amazing?" Gu Kaiwen said in surprise.
Even if it is an ordinary Longjing, as long as it is authentic and picked before the Ming Dynasty, the retail price will not be less than 500 yuan per catty. If it is lower than this price?
congratulations!
I must have bought a fake product, or a used product from last year!
Originally, the tea in Gujia Tea House was not even as good as the lowest-grade three-level Longjing in Yuqian. Does the current quality suddenly reach the price of Mingqian tea?
The so-called "before rain tea" is actually the tea picked "after Qingming Festival and before the Grain Rain Festival". "Before Ming tea" refers to the tea picked "before Qingming Festival".
Simply put, "Tea before the rain" can also be called "Tea after the Ming Dynasty", but "Tea after the Ming Dynasty" is obviously not nice and also has the feeling of self-destruction, so it is collectively called "Tea before the rain".
In the tea field, before the Qingming Festival, tea trees germinate in limited number and grow slowly, and the yield that can reach the standard of picking is very small, so tea before Ming is a little more precious than tea before rain.
However, tea before the rain is also very precious.
At least compared with the wild paths of Gujia Tea House, tea before the rain was sold out for a few streets. Of course, that was the former Gujia Tea House.
The Gujia Tea House is different now!
The natural life field envelopes the Gujia Tea House, allowing the tea trees to obtain the essence of natural life, and they start to change from their essence.
"Young master, try it!" Yun Zhongyang picked a tender bud casually and handed it to Gu Kaiwen.
Gu Kaiwen did not shy away from it. Since he had been dealing with tea since he was a child, he could more or less determine the quality of tea.
Gu Kaiwen chewed the tender buds, raised his eyebrows, and then showed a look of surprise, "It doesn't have a bitter taste, but a faint sweet taste?"
Yun Zhongyang focused his attention, "By the way! I was still wondering if my taste was wrong, but now I finally feel relieved!"
"This taste is very special, a bit like licorice, but not that rich, and it is mixed with the aroma of tea, which feels very good." Gu Kaiwen explained carefully.
Yun Zhongyang agreed again, and then looked at Gu Kaiwen with hopeful eyes, "Young master, pick some tea tomorrow, try stir-frying tea?"
Recently, although Yun Zhongyang has been at the Gu Family Tea House, he learned about the popularity of Xiao Jingzhai through Yun Haibo. He was very afraid that Gu Kaiwen gave up the business of the old teahouse and turned to concentrate on Xiao Jingzhai.
Yun Zhongyang was thinking too much about this. Xiao Jingzhai had already gotten on the right track. Gu Kaiwen was about to turn around and deal with the old affairs of the teahouse.
"No problem, Master Yun, will you do it yourself tomorrow?" Gu Kaiwen asked with a smile.
Generally speaking, Yun Zhongyang will no longer stir-fry tea by himself. After all, the tea level of Gujia Tea House is not high, and Yun Haibo's tea stir-frying skills are very good. Yun Zhongyang only needs some advice.
Yun Zhongyang responded solemnly, "Well, young master, I will go to the stove myself tomorrow!"
The next day.
It was early in summer, and it was less than half past five o'clock. Yun Zhongyang brought Yun Haibo and the two sisters of the Cao family to pick tea together. Gu Kaiwen was still sleeping soundly, so he naturally didn't need to do the tea picking work himself.
When it was nearly seven o'clock, Yun Haibo woke up Gu Kaiwen, "Young master, the third father is going to stir-fry tea."
‘San Dad’ is the dialect name of Shengqing City. In Mandarin, it means ‘San Bo’, which means Yun Haibo’s father and Yun Zhongyang are brothers.
Gu Kaiwen quickly got up and washed up, and came to the tea-fried tea room of the tea shop.
When Gu Kaiwen arrived, Yun Zhongyang had already prepared. He looked at Gu Kaiwen and said, "Young boss, I'm starting!"
Gu Kaiwen nodded, and he stood aside to observe.
Since I have remembered it, he has been reading it for more than ten years and is quite familiar with stir-fried tea. For example, the first step is to finish the rice with a pot. The temperature of the pot is required to be between 180 degrees and 200 degrees. This step is crucial. Once this step is wrong in operation, the tea will be scrapped directly.
When the tea is finished, the tea stir-fryer is required to move quickly and rotate the tea leaves in the pot to make it. This step not only requires fast action, but also ensure that the tea leaves are heated evenly. Without years of hard work, it is basically impossible to master the heat well.
This is also the reason why machines are popular nowadays to stir-fry tea!
However, machines are always machines, and machine-fried tea is not as good as artificial tea, and high-end tea is all artificial tea.
