   Chapter 521 521. Cutting tea leaves and tea bricks

   Waiting for the others to leave, the Seventh Cousin thought about it: "Tan Tan, is your mother still picking tea leaves on the mountain? Give her a call, and show me some tea leaves when you come back."

"Okay."

  Song Tan didn't even ask the reason, and sent a message directly. Only Zhang Yanping didn't let go of any changes in the family, and hurriedly asked, "Seventh Cousin, why do you want branches?"

  Seventh Cousin did not hide it: "I thought, if this tea grows well, the old branches and leaves must also be fragrant. It would be a pity to just cut it off and throw it in the ground or return it as firewood."

   "Try it first when you come back, if the taste is okay, then you can make it—"

"I see!"

  Zhang Yanping clapped his hands violently: "Is it right to make tea bricks or tea foam?"

  The kind of very cheap tea bricks, or the tea leaves that are mixed with scented tea, are made by smashing and stamping this kind of old branches!

  Seventh Cousin: …

  He looked complicated, and then sighed: "Yan Ping, Tan Tan asked you to be in charge of selling things, you are really a professional counterpart."

   "I just want to use dried tea sticks to smoke some duck and pork. You are good, but you also want to smash it into tea bricks... Shen Wansan can't even think about it!"

Zhang Yanping guessed wrong, and he didn't feel embarrassed, instead he smiled openly and said, "I can't compare, he is the richest man after all, and I'm just an ordinary worker, and my salary is still two thousand and five! "

   Even the food is great. Not to mention being paid, even if he was not paid, he would not be willing to leave.

   And because I eat too much, so that other material desires are reduced. With his current salary, apart from paying phone bills and game krypton gold, there is nothing to use at all...

   If this continues, it will not be a dream to save 20,000 yuan by the end of the year!

  Seventh Cousin was just a few words of teasing, and after he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought: "But you are right, the tea is so good, it should be very fragrant when I make tea bricks and powdered tea... Wait for me to study it."

   Regarding matters in the kitchen, Seventh Cousin has always been vigorous and resolute.

  Ulan came back with a basket in the middle of the noon, and sure enough, she pulled a lot of tea branches, and another camellia flower the size of a quail egg had bloomed on it.

  The snow-white petals are slightly closed, revealing the light yellow stamen inside, which is extraordinarily fresh and moving.

   This surprised Qiao Qiao: "Mom, is the tea tree about to bear tea seeds? If it bears tea seeds this year, can I continue pounding tea oil?"

  Pound tea oil—

  Song Tan was also caught in memories.

  In her childhood, this was a skill that everyone in the village knew.

   Take a small wine cup and prepare an unused pen, preferably with a lid. Peel off the ripe tea seeds on the mountain, smash the milky white round fruit into the wine cup, and keep pressing down with the pen...

   After a long time, the crushed tea fruit will become dark brown and translucent, and a layer of yellow tea oil will be precipitated on it.

  When she was young, the classmates in the class often compared like this, even after class, she would keep messing with a pen...

   After all, in the countryside at that time, there was no such variety of entertainment methods as today.

   Who knew that it was Qiao Qiao's turn, because he had no playmates, so that's what he played with.

   "Okay." For Qiao Qiao, the family has always been in a state of stocking, and Ulan even cooperated especially this year: "You can buy a beautiful wine cup yourself, and then pound the camellia oil to stir-fry vegetables for everyone to eat."

  Jojo's eyes lit up instantly!

   In the past, pounding tea oil was just a recreational activity, but now tea oil can be used for cooking—he was instantly full of passion!

   "Is there tea fruit on the mountain now? I'll go now!"

   It can’t be said that there are no teas all over the mountains and plains, there are always one or two plants that are blooming now or have already borne fruit. but…

   "It's too hot now, it's easy to break, wait until autumn and winter. You can choose a beautiful little cup for yourself first, and mom will give you money!"

   "Okay!" Qiao Qiao blinked - after all, his money has been used for travel expenses!

  He must study hard for this trip. After he has learned it, if he saves more money, he will take his parents to travel in winter if he has no job!

  The Seventh Cousin has already put the tea branches on the fire to smoke—now the conditions are simple, he only puts the tea branches at a place far from the flame, smokes them slowly, and then takes them out to smell the aroma—

   "The taste is not bad, but I don't know what kind of flavor it will be with meat when it is smoked and grilled."

   Craftsmen like them can actually tell what it tastes like when they smell it, but it's not absolutely accurate.

  Being on the safe side, Seventh Cousin still decided—"Tan Tan, try killing two ducks later."

  The duck at home is half big and not small, so it is quite suitable for roast duck.

  Song Tan thought for a while: "Come on, our chickens and ducks are still young, and they must be delicious. Once the two are mixed, you can't smell which one is more prominent."

   "I'll go back to the market and buy an old duck, so that I can judge whether the taste is good or not."

   Seventh Cousin also made sense after thinking about it: "Well, the smoked duck is better to choose the old duck, which is more chewy. Then I will smoke a dry gnawing duck for you as a snack."

   Then he stretched out his hand and beckoned Qiao Qiao: "Go, get the big scissors, cut these into small branches, cut them into small pieces, one centimeter or two centimeters is fine, be careful not to hurt your hands."

"OK."

   Without saying a word, Qiao Qiao took the scissors for cutting branches at home, held the tea branches before in one hand, and cut them against the small stainless steel pot that was prepared.

   And here, the Seventh Cousin asked again: "Wulan, who else raises chickens in the village? Go and ask if there are any eggs, let's buy some."

   "What Yan Ping said just now makes sense. Our tea smells pretty good. I want to see if old tea sticks can make tea eggs."

  After all, their tea is too expensive, and no one would be willing to use it to cook tea eggs.

   Not to mention fresh tea, the Seventh Cousin of pornographic film is not willing to part with it—after all, he drinks two cups a day!

   "Okay." Ulan immediately stepped up the small basket: "I'll go now."

  After all, the tea branches cut in previous years were either given to factories that came to collect old tea branches, or were picked up by other old men and women in the village to be used as firewood.

   This thing can only ignite fire, but it doesn't burn. Their family doesn't have enough labor, so they didn't clean it up.

   It was also a coincidence that the phone rang before Ulan left the house.

  She answered the phone, and the loud voice on the other end could be heard all over the yard:

   "Wulan, a factory has come to the village to collect old tea branches. Do you want to cut them? If you do, hurry up and register! They say that each of the top ten will give away two cases of beer!"

  Ulan hesitated for a moment.

  Zhang Yanping was curious: "This factory is quite good, there are gifts for door-to-door purchases, how much does he pay for these old tea branches per catty?

Good night.

   I haven't been efficient in the past few days...it must be because I didn't sacrifice enough to the **** of codewords before!

   Come on, sacrifice a new update sister tonight—"Live Debt Collection, One Follows the Whole Network and Cries! "

   A generation of celestial master Jiang Ningning crossed over and became the small owner of the incense shop!

   Looking at the original account book, it is all debts? Don't be afraid! Let's live broadcast debt collection!
