Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

In the bedroom on the second floor, a miniature planet the size of a human head floats in the air. The regional time acceleration function of the food anchor point works on it. The sun and the moon, which are transformed from water and fire, rotate. The long river of time flows faster here, and the days and months pass by in a flash.

One day in the outside world is equivalent to ten years inside the ball. Under Xue Xi's special care, the seeds take root, sprout, and grow vigorously.

When Xue Xi entered again, the originally bare mountains became full of vitality, with dense trees and lush grass, tall peaks, dense forests, flowing springs and steaming mist.

Various native species have also become active in the Lushan Mountains under the help of the cloning chamber. Poisonous insects, fierce beasts, birds, fish, shrimps and crabs have added infinite vitality to this new world.

Xue Xi stood in the air with her hands on her hips, looking at her masterpiece with satisfaction. She wished she could replicate the entire earth on it immediately. This practical version of Minecraft made her a little addicted.

Leaving the arduous task of scanning the earth's data to the intelligent satellite, Xue Xi stepped into the tea garden where cicadas and birds were chirping.

This tea garden was the place she carefully selected. It is 800 meters above sea level. The water vapor from the river and lake turns into clouds and mist that lasts all day long, and the tea produced here is of the best quality.

The cloud tea tree likes warmth and humidity, likes light and is shade-tolerant, so it is not too dependent on the surrounding environment when surrounded by clouds and mist.

Xue Xi looked up at the tea buds. The tea leaves were compact and beautiful, with a uniform green appearance, slightly showing the tips, and the leaves were tightly curled, with tender buds exposed.

The tea trees were lush and green, and it was obviously the best time to pick the tea. Xue Xi directly covered the entire tea garden with her telekinesis and began to pick the tea leaves carefully under the influence of her telekinesis.

Do not pick purple buds, diseased or insect-infested leaves, or rain-soaked leaves. The standard is one bud and one leaf just unfolded, with a length of 3 cm.

After the screening was completed, Xue Xi moved her mind, and the tea leaves that met the requirements floated down from the tree as if falling by themselves, turning into a green river and rushing into Xue Xi's Qiankun pot.

Xue Xi waved her hand and activated the time acceleration in this area again, then turned around and flew away from the misty mountains.

On the outskirts of the mountains, Xue Xi took out a simple tent from the Qiankun pot and quickly set it up, took out the picked tea leaves, and spread a cloth on the ground to ventilate and dry them.

During this time, she also entered the culinary virtual space to familiarize herself with the tea-making process, until she was able to brew Hongji Cloud Mist Tea with ordinary water.

Looking at the lush mountains in the distance under the setting sun and the loess plains under her feet, Xue Xi stretched lazily and sighed: There is still a long way to go!

Then he looked at the tea leaves on the ground, rolled up his sleeves with full confidence and started working!

Xue Xi followed the nine working steps of withering, shaking, rolling, frying, sorting, rubbing, picking, lifting and drying in an orderly manner, like an experienced tea farmer, completing each step meticulously.

The final product did not disappoint Xue Xi: the tea leaves were thick, green and hairy. Xue Xi picked up a tea leaf, placed it between her teeth and tasted it gently. It did not have the bitterness of other teas, but a refreshing fragrance as soon as it entered her mouth.

Nodding, Xue Xi put the prepared tea into an aluminum foil bag, and then stored it in a constant temperature warehouse at about 10 degrees Celsius. Then she clapped her hands in satisfaction and left this planet.

In the bedroom outside, next to the miniature planet, Xue Xi suddenly jumped out. The unlocking rewards for the fourth ring were finally digested. Except for the cultivation that had not been claimed and the locked progress bar, everything else went well.

He placed the pot on top of the planet and put it into the Qiankun Pot. Then he raised his bracelet and invited Thor to have tea first. He had agreed to be the first one to be notified. I am a man of my word!

"New dishes are ready to help you realize the truth. Come quickly!"

"Roger that!"

Then he sent the same message in a group of four people. Two people received it, and one of them cursed him as a dog.

Xue Xi replied innocently: "It's true that I notified you first. The time records are all here. Here, if you don't believe me, please watch the VCR!"

After turning off the bracelet, Xue Xi started to prepare to make tea. After all, with the speed these people were going, the tea might arrive just as it was ready.

Planting tea, picking tea and making tea, these tasks can ensure the quality of the tea itself, but if you really want to drink a pot of good tea, the most important thing is the tea brewing step. If it is not brewed well, it is not that the tea is too bad, but a waste of resources like a cow chewing a peony.

The ratio of tea to water is roughly 1:50, that is, 150 ml of water is used for about 3 grams of dry tea.

The water temperature should generally be 85 degrees (water that has been boiled and cooled slightly). Only in this way can the tea brewed have a bright color, a mellow and sweet taste.

If the amount of tea is appropriate, the number of brewing times should not exceed three times. The soluble substances will be extracted by about 50% in the first brewing, about 30% in the second brewing, and about 10% in the third brewing.

Xue Xi remembered the tea-making method of the master tea addict, and separated a trace of the kitchen spirit fire. Using the fire control method, she suppressed the water to the lowest temperature to boil it, and then quickly used the cold all-encompassing water to cool it down to about 85 degrees to brew the tea.

It is better to use the "upward pouring method" when brewing. That is, first pour 85-degree boiling water into the cup, and then take the tea and put it in.

In the transparent glass cup, some tea leaves sink straight down, some tea leaves hover and slowly fall down, and some tea leaves float up and down, stretching and swimming. People call this process "tea dance".

Soon, the dry tea absorbs enough water and gradually unfolds its leaves, revealing a bud and a leaf, while water vapor from the soup rises with wisps of tea fragrance.

At the right time, a thunderclap sounded outside. Thor used 50 times his strength to speed up and rushed into the Cat Ear Restaurant: "Where is the food? I want to be the first to eat it!"

Xue Xi waved her sleeves, creating ripples that swept away the dust brought by the Thunder God. She turned around to protect the four cups of freshly brewed tea on the tea tray: "Second brother, can you be more steady? You almost ruined my good tea!"

Lei Shen is also a tea lover. After he finished regulating his breath, his nose twitched and he smelled a fragrant tea aroma. He sniffed it carefully and said, "Hmm, this smell is good tea! Could it be cloud tea?"

Xue Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: "You can even smell this?"

Lei Shen laughed, took out a small jar from his world ring like a treasure, and shook it to show off: "I go to Mount Lushan to pick tea every year, but monsters are rampant and the yield is extremely low. I was exploited by Brother Hong. Since you have this skill, I will give it to you as a food."

Xue Xi looked at the jar in Lei Shen's hand, took it and opened it. As expected, it was very dry, with a pile of debris at the bottom: "Second brother, this tea has suffered a lot with you. I have some fresh tea leaves that have been preserved. Don't ask where they came from. Come here if you want to drink it in the future. Don't let yourself down."

Lei Shen stared at the tea can that flashed in Xue Xi's hand, and then touched his bald head excitedly: "Hey, that's great, let's not talk about it for now, let me try the cloud tea that you brewed to help people comprehend the laws, and see what the difference is."

Xue Xi took out a cup of bright apricot-yellow cloud tea from the tea tray behind her and handed it to the eagerly waiting Thunder God.

Thor sat on the stool and took the cup with both hands. He saw the base color of the tea leaves inside, the fleshy green buds, the leaves were single in shape at the beginning, uniform in size, and shaped like a snow dragon.

Put it under your nose and sniff it gently. The fragrance of the tea is rich and long-lasting. Open your mouth and blow gently, then drink it in one gulp.
