Chapter 133 New Tea
The tobacco leaves have been prepared, and only the tea leaves are left.Although Wang Dong also learned the processing of tea from the old tea farmers, but in practice, it is much more unfamiliar.

Freshly picked tea leaves have to go through several procedures before they are considered complete.First of all, the first step is to finish.

Destroying and passivating the oxidase activity in fresh tea leaves by high temperature, inhibiting the enzymatic oxidation of tea polyphenols in fresh leaves, evaporating part of the water in fresh leaves, making the tea leaves soft, easy to knead and shape, and emitting green odor at the same time, promoting A tea-making step for the formation of good aroma.

Wang Dong has heard from tea farmers before, but when it comes to making it himself, there is still a gap.After doing it several times, Wang Dong became proficient.

Seeing the finished tea leaves, Wang Dong felt a sense of satisfaction. Of course, Wang Dong ignored the tea leaves that were not finished well, and put them in the bag next to them.

The next step is to knead and fry the tea.Tea frying is a very crucial step. Tea frying is divided into raw pot, second green pot, and cooked pot. The three pots are connected and operated sequentially.The stir-frying tea pot uses an ordinary pan, which is built into a three-pot connected frying tea stove, and the pot is inclined at 25-30 degrees.The fried tea broom is made of moso bamboo, about 1 meter long, and the diameter of one end of the bamboo branch is about 10 cm.

Tea farmers can sum it up in three sentences: "The first pot is full and the pot is spinning, the second pot is full of strength, and the third pot is drilled." The raw pot mainly plays the role of killing greens. kg, the amount of leaves depends on the temperature of the pot and the technical level of operation.

The stir-frying method is to use a tea broom to rotate and stir-fry in the pot. The leaves follow the rotation, and the water will be evenly heated and dehydrated. The rotation should be fast, force evenly, and shake the tea leaves. The time is about 1-2 minutes.When the leaves are soft and dark green, they can be swept into the second pot.

Erqing pot mainly plays the role of continuing to finish greening and preliminary kneading, and the temperature of the pot is slightly lower than that of raw pot.Because the friction between the tea and the wall of the pot is relatively large, the force should be greater than that of the raw pot, so it is necessary to "bring strength" to make the leaves rotate in the pot with the broom of the fried tea, and start to roll into strips. Group, through the hot air.When the leaves shrunk into strips and the tea juice sticks to the leaves and feels sticky, it can be swept into the cooking pot.The cooked pot is mainly used to further make thin tea sticks, and the temperature of the pot is lower than that of the Erqing pot, about 130-150°C.

At this time, the leaves are relatively soft. Use a tea broom to stir-fry a few times, and the leaves will get into the inner bamboo branches, which is conducive to making strips. After a little shaking, the leaves will scatter into the pot again.Repeated operations like this make the leaves swallow and puff inside and outside the bamboo broom, skillfully combining dehydration and kneading into strips.

This is obviously different from the tea-making technique of frying green tea and then kneading it. It can not only take advantage of the softer leaves and good plasticity under hot and humid conditions to promote the formation of thick and old leaves, but also overcome cold kneading into broken stems, fragments, and dew. Muscle and other ills.Stir-fry until the strands are tight and thin, with a tea aroma, and about [-]% to [-]% dry, then you can take it out of the pan.

Just like killing greens, Wang Dong is a novice, so there are all kinds of fried tea, some are very good, with a strong aroma, some are not so good, the color is dull, and a little broken, of course, there are also fried tea. The ones are very bad, they are a bit mushy, black and gray, a bit like plant ash.

However, failure is the mother of success. After rounds of trials, Wang Dong finally grasped the tricks and got acquainted little by little.

"Hey, I'm so stupid to waste so much tea and so much time".Looking at the unqualified tea leaves, Wang Dong was a little disappointed and said, what a waste!
What Wang Dong didn't know was that if those tea farmers heard these words, they would die of shame.It took those tea farmers several years, or even ten years of effort, to fry the tea very well, but Wang Dong basically mastered it in only one day.

Just like that, I still think I'm stupid, it's really infuriating to compare myself to others.

Finally, in the evening, Wang Dong also finally called off work. The result of his labor was the large bag of tea leaves. It went into the furnace, and it really turned into plant ash.

"Hey, mom, Nana, Yuanyuan, come, try my new tea, how does it taste?"It took him a whole day to finish it, and Wang Dong was a bit showing off.

"That's OK, let's try it."Li Na didn't dare to ask Liu Xia to pour water for herself, so she hurried over to fetch boiling water and came over to make tea.

Seeing the tea in Wang Dong's hand, Gao Yuanyuan was also very interested. After living in Wang Dong's house for so long, Gao Yuanyuan didn't know that Wang Dong could fry tea.

"Dongzi, did you really fry it? You couldn't have bought it in the market."Gao Yuanyuan smelled the tea, it was very fragrant, and the aroma was tangy even before brewing, really, rare good tea!
"Cut, what am I, besides, it's no good to lie to you!"Wang Dong couldn't help rolling his eyes, I'm not interested in such thankless things.

Soon, Li Na came over with hot water and four glasses.The green tea leaves are spinning with the injection of boiling water, as if they are dancing.A strong aroma hits the nostrils, making people unable to resist the urge to drink it.

Picked in the mountains in spring, it is fragrant and suitable for frying in bamboo.The smell of tea is compelling, inhaling the lungs, there is a feeling of comfort and ease, which makes people linger.

"Drink well."Gao Yuanyuan took a sip and couldn't help but praise.Although young people don't know much about tea, good things can still be judged.

"Dongzi, when did you learn how to stir-fry tea?"Li Na was puzzled. The more she got in touch with Wang Dong, Li Na felt that Wang Dong seemed unfathomable, as if he could do everything, and there was nothing difficult to stop him.

"Well, I'm omnipotent, hehe."Wang Dong grinned, putting gold on his face.

"Go, as thick-skinned as a city wall."Li Na spat, why didn't I realize that Wang Dong has such a thick skin before, really.

"Dongzi, you think you are a universal charger, hehe, but it seems that you know a lot of things."Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth and snickered, but after much deliberation, Wang Donghui did have a lot of things.

"Basic food, housing, transportation, life encyclopedia, Wang Dong knows everything, Nana is a lucky person, and has such a good boyfriend as Wang Dong."At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan felt a little envious. Thinking about her boyfriend who had more success than failure, she was a little annoyed. They were both boyfriends, so why was there such a big gap.

As for Liu Xia, she had already hid in the kitchen to cook. Among young people, young people still have topics to talk about.

"Mom, here is a bag of rice. If you are making rice today, cook this rice."Wang Dong came over with a small bag of rouge rice and said to his mother.

After more than a week of hard work, with the support of more than half a bottle of green liquid, millet has gained a lot, 130 catties, and rouge rice, but it is still a little less, [-] catties, mainly because the yield per mu of rouge rice is too low , only twenty or thirty catties.

Despite the acceleration and improvement of Wang Dong's green liquid, the yield per mu of [-] jin was only reached.But good things are for eating, and they are eaten by their own people.Only then did I gain something, Wang Dong couldn't wait, and wanted the big guy to come and taste it together.

"Hey, Dongzi, what is Auntie doing today? It smells so delicious. It didn't taste like this before. What is it?"Li Na was puzzled and asked Wang Dong who just came back.But before Wang Dong answered, Li Na ran away and went straight into the kitchen.

About Li Na and Wang Dong's being together, Liu Xia accidentally let it go. As a result, Li Na was shy for several days and dared not look Liu Xia in the eye.

However, Liu Xia enthusiastically called Li Na to go home for dinner every day, which made Li Na, who originally wanted to avoid it, even more embarrassed.

However, Liu Xia was someone who had been there after all, so she dragged Li Na into the room and chatted all afternoon.

From then on, Li Na didn't feel shy any more. Moreover, she liked to follow Liu Xia when she had nothing to do, doing work, chatting and so on.
