Chapter 1511 Tea Cream
Nanji City, Lao Salmon Toy Shop.

“This won’t work, I can’t accept this price.

If you sell it, I'll take it. If you don't sell it, I'll go to Qingyu Tea Shop to have a look again. "

The young man shook his head when he saw Wen Laosan's quotation.

Perhaps because he knew there were outsiders, the young man spoke in a low voice.

As if afraid that Ye Yuan would hear it.

He also imitated Wen Laosan and pressed a set of numbers on his phone.

"No, I can't even recoup the cost of this."

The two of them were back and forth discussing the price.

Finally, after more than ten minutes of bargaining.

The young man was finally satisfied and put the two pieces of 'chocolate' wrapped in tin foil into the bag he brought.

Then I left happily after transferring money via mobile phone.

Looking at Wen Laosan again, he also had a smile on his face, and there was no trace of the pain he had before.

Ye Yuan knew that the deal was reached.

And it’s a result that both parties are satisfied with.

"Boss Ye asked you to give me the bracelet, right?

It’s really hard for me, little brother, to have to go out so late.

I was supposed to go there in person, but something happened in the store today and I couldn't leave.

Thank you so much. "

Wen Laosan smiled and greeted Ye Yuan, while pouring Ye Yuan a cup of tea.

"Little brother, try it. This is Pu'er from ten years!"

From the fact that Wen Laosan was not in a hurry to inspect the goods, Ye Yuan knew that this man knew how to deal with the world.

Because I neglected myself before.

Now if you come up and inspect the goods directly.

That would definitely arouse Ye Yuan's dissatisfaction.

So this guy came up and first gave himself a big recommendation with polite words and no money.

Even Ye Yuan was a little angry because of what happened before.

But no matter how polite he is, he can only calm down, right?

Wen Laosan's approach was in line with Ye Yuan's wishes.

He had something he wanted to figure out right now, so he didn't rush to bring up the matter of inspection.

Instead, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip before asking:
"Boss Wen, can I ask about something?"

"Oh? What's the matter, little brother?"

Wen Laosan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Ye Yuan to say that.

"Is the tea paste you just sold also tea?"

Ye Yuan asked pretending to be curious.

Because he really didn't know whether the chocolate-like thing was tea.

"Hahaha! That's right. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of tea paste at your age."

Wen Laosan originally thought that Ye Yuan wanted to ask him something.

So they are still wary of each other.

As soon as I heard that this was the case, I immediately let go of my guard and started laughing.

In his opinion, Ye Yuan was just young and curious about some unknown things.

As for Ye Yuan's question, it just scratched his itch.

He just made a good deal, and he needs to show it off, right?

Now a novice like Ye Yuan barged in on his own.

How could he not show off his knowledge?

So he cleared his throat and said:

"The piece just now is aged Pu'er tea paste..."

Ye Yuan didn't expect that this Wen Laosan was really a wonderful person.

I just started it.This guy was so cool and explained clearly to himself what tea paste was.

Pu'er tea paste is one of the five series of Pu'er tea varieties (namely Pu'er group tea, Pu'er cake tea, Pu'er Tuo tea, Pu'er brick tea, and Pu'er tea paste).

It has a production history of thousands of years.

It is different from the first four series of Pu'er tea varieties (Tuan, Cake, Tuo and Brick).

Pu'er tea paste has been around since its birth.

He always lives in a corner, shrouded in a mysterious aura, and is rarely known to the outside world.

Even today, when Pu'er tea is very popular, various monographs and articles about Pu'er tea are emerging one after another, which can be described as "a flood".

But if you study carefully, you will find that introduction to Pu'er tea paste is extremely rare.

Even if there is, it is limited to stating the words of the ancients.

There is a lack of necessary understanding and analysis of its origin, evolution, characteristics, technology and production.

This creates an academic gap in some sense.

What needs to be pointed out here is that there are four types of Pu'er tea: Tuan, Cake, Tuo and Brick.

From its emergence to the present, it has been a tea product that can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people.

That is, everyone from the emperor to princes and ministers, and even ordinary people can taste tea products of different qualities.

But only Pu'er tea paste is different.

Tea paste, on the other hand, is "not elegant enough to be appreciated". It is an exclusive tribute from the royal family and cannot be obtained by ordinary people.

It not only has special nutritional functions, but is also a symbol of power and status.

Therefore, many scholars believe that the Pu'er tea family is incomplete without Pu'er tea paste.

Moreover, Pu'er tea paste is also the noblest member of the Pu'er tea family.

The name of Pu'er tea paste is named at the same time as Pu'er tea.

That is 1729 (the seventh year of Yongzheng).

At that time, the Qing Dynasty royal family established Pu'er Mansion in Pu'er, which was an official system and governed the six major tea mountains and other places.

The tea trade is in charge and private traders are not allowed to sell tea.

In this way, the large-leaf tea traded in the Pu'er area is collectively called Pu'er tea.

Therefore, tea history experts believe that Pu'er tea is named after the local name.

It was also in this year that Emperor Yongzheng issued an imperial edict to the local governor Ortai.

He was charged with personal supervision.

He was asked to select the best tea leaves, make Pu'er tea balls, Pu'er daughter tea and tea paste, and send them to the court as tribute.

Precisely because of the preciousness of tea paste, its production process is also very particular.

The unique large-leaf tree tea is processed and fermented, and the fiber material in the tea leaves is separated from the tea juice in a special way.

The obtained tea juice is reprocessed and restored to a higher level of solid instant tea.

The modern tea paste production technology is a tea paste production technology developed on the basis of the Qing Dynasty palace production technology.

This method imitates the climate, temperature and environment of tea paste production in the Qing Dynasty.

Under a more complicated and meticulous process, the tea soup is extracted and concentrated at a normal temperature of about 40 degrees Celsius.

But it is also because tea paste has a technical gap in the long history.

This also leads to the fact that the tea paste made by modern technology cannot be compared with the tea paste made by the old method.

Wen Laosan talked for a long time, and Ye Yuan also listened carefully.

After all, Ye Yuan has been drinking tea with his father since he was a child.

So he was really interested in something like tea paste, which he had never heard of before.

With Ye Yuan as a listener, Wen Laosan explained even more diligently.

Just like that, without knowing it, Wen Laosan actually talked to Ye Yuan for half an hour.

During this period, there was not only the origin of tea paste, but also the history of tea paste.

More importantly, this guy also carefully explained the color, aroma, and taste of the tea paste.

This gave Ye Yuan a deeper understanding of tea paste.

"Hey! Look at me, I lose track of time when I talk about tea paste."

Wen Laosan looked at the clock on the wall and said with a smile.
