With a Door In Mind

Several people returned to the door of the house and met Aunt Liu who came back.

The other party was holding a piece of meat in his hand.

About two pounds or so.

When Aunt Liu saw a few people coming back, she smiled and said hello, "Oh, are you going out to play?"

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, I went out for a walk after dinner. Aunt Liu, are you buying meat again?"

When she spoke, she looked at the two jins of pork belly in her hand.

When Aunt Liu heard the words, she raised the meat in her hand cheerfully, "Oh, no! Isn't this the New Year's Eve, the New Year's gift from my third child!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the box that Xiaohe was holding in his hand.

"Is this shopping? What are you buying?"

After speaking, he glanced curiously, but unfortunately it was covered.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, "Oh, I didn't buy anything. It's not too late for the New Year! I went to the department store to buy something."

Aunt Liu couldn't see it, so she didn't go to see it.

He smiled and said to Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, bring a bowl over for dinner, and my aunt will bring you some meat to eat."

The little guy laughed when he heard the words, "Aunt Liu, forget it, I don't like meat!"

Hearing her words, Aunt Liu's mouth crooked, "You child, how can you not like meat! That's what your mother lied to you."

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless for a while.

In the era of lack of meat, some parents always come up with some messy reasons.

fooling children.

But how old is Xiaomi, can it be fooled?

Xiaohe couldn't stand it any longer, and said to Zhou Xiaochuan, "Brother, I'll take my things back first."

Aunt Liu is also a mature person. Knowing that the other party doesn't want to talk anymore, she smiled at several people: "Hey, you are busy. I'm going back too. There are still many things at home!"

After saying hello, he turned around and left.

The three of Zhou Xiaochuan went back to their home when they saw this.

Xiaomi looked at Aunt Liu who had gone home, and smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan: "Brother, if I say we all go over at night, will she feel distressed?"

Zhou Xiaochuan rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Seeing this, Xiaomi smiled.

In the evening, when Yang Yuemei came back, she saw the sewing machine in the house.

It was a look of surprise.

This thing, like a bicycle, is a big piece.

Many people have been unable to get tickets.

Zhou Xiaochuan still got the ticket from Fatty Wang.

Because not everyone goes to the black market, and not everyone is willing to spend money on these big things.

Xiaomi smiled and said, "Mother, the second brother bought this for you, and the older brother got the ticket."

Yang Yuemei touched something and couldn't put it down.

"I don't know how to use this! I'll try it!"

After that, let's try the needle and thread.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaohe shook his head, "Okay, mother, don't do it. Let's eat first! The hot pot I made today is delicious."

Yang Yuemei nodded when she heard the words, "Okay. I'll do it that night."

In the evening, several people closed their doors and ate hot pot.

And the little guy has started to eat spicy hot pot slowly.

After dinner, Yang Yuemei washed the dishes and went to try her sewing machine.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan was ready to go out.

"It's so late, it's snowing outside, don't go out!"

Yang Yuemei was talking to Zhou Xiaochuan.

"It's okay, I have something to do."

Zhou Xiaohe knew what he was going to do, so he said to him, "Brother, wait for me, I'll change into a coat and accompany you."

After speaking, what came to mind, "By the way, brother, where is that guy? Give it to me!"

When speaking, he made a gesture towards him.

Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head when he heard the words, "I don't need you to go today, I'll go out to check the wind, and I won't be back at night. And I have something to do tomorrow. If I don't come back, don't worry."

After speaking, he left the yard and rode away.

People haven't been found yet, so why take Xiaohe?

Riding a bike for a walk outside, I didn't change my mask this time, lest my IDs not match when I meet someone.

The car quickly shuttled through the alleys.

All he could notice were the radio stations hidden in the corners.

As for the spy without a radio station, unless he happened to find out the anomaly, he really couldn't find it.

The snow on the road has been trampled into mud.

It hasn't been frozen yet.

Zhou Xiaochuan probed all the way, which really embarrassed him.

Saw too many things that shouldn't be seen.

Spicy eyes.

After riding the car for two hours, he let out a light whimper.

"Hehe, finally found the first one."

The station is hidden under people's beds.

The box containing the radio was covered with dust, and it seemed that it had not been used for a long time.

Seeing this scene, he frowned.

The other party has never used it. If this is reported, how did you find out?

motherfucker.

This is troublesome.

After thinking about it for a while, I really can't think of a good way.

Just put it on hold for now.

Remember this address and keep looking for it by bike.

Where there was the first, there was the second, and soon the second was discovered.

But no one lives here.

Another headache.

When the third was spotted by him, he stopped...

There are two people in the house.

A man in his forties and a woman in her thirties.

"Hey, leaving now? Not staying here?"

The woman said without looking back, "No, the children are still at home!"

The facial features are not good-looking, but the skin is relatively white, and he has a pair of eye-catching phoenix eyes.

The other party stood in front of the bed and held out a hand.

"What about the promised watch? How long has it been? It's been a few months!"

The man pursed his lips.

However, a wooden box was taken out from under the bed.

After opening it, something revealed inside.

Money, various tickets, and some gold earrings and some ocean! Inside lies a silver-white ladies watch.

And at the bottom, there is a short guy.

The man handed her the watch.

The woman took the watch and tried it, reaching out and grabbing some more money from the box.

Didn't catch too much.

And the silver dollars and jewelry inside were not touched.

The man didn't care either, and happily put the things away and put them under the bed.

Seeing the pretense, the woman said to him, "You're not afraid of being stolen here!"

The man took out the gun from the box and made a gesture.

Then he smiled: "As long as you don't let your concubines come to steal things, no one can steal it!"

Hearing his words, the woman rolled his eyes at him.

"If I had a concubine, would my mother still be able to sway you?"

After speaking, he snorted, picked up the scarf next to him, put it on, and went out.

The man smiled when he saw it.

Didn't even get up to lock the door.

The man sighed inwardly, these days, there are a lot fewer thieves, but it's actually pretty good here.

Push the edge of the bed with your hand, and a piece of wood falls off the edge of the old-fashioned bed.

reveal a grid.

There was also a tin box inside.

After putting things away, he touched the tin box beside him.

With a sigh, he put the baffle back on.

Zhou Xiaochuan watched outside for a while.

It's not that he has any special hobby, but to see if he can hear any useful information.

Seeing that there was no useful information, he rode away.

Did not sleep a night.

He has already visited half of the entire provincial capital.

After all, the car is riding fast, and there is no need to stop, just see if you can find the radio station.

Found four places in one night.

This is only half, it seems really a lot.

And it does not include the surrounding rural areas.

These rural areas will be classified as urban areas in the future, but they are still rural areas now.

In the middle, I also met many people who came out to perform tasks.

He thought that he had to explain it when he encountered it, and felt that it was troublesome and time-consuming, so he avoided it.

In the morning, I slept in the space.

When he came out, the sky was already bright.

Zhou Xiaochuan put on his mask and went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital.

But walking on the road, he tutted his mouth and a smile appeared on his face.

Last night, he not only found four strongholds, but also let him know where many people lived.

Including people who used to know in the factory.

Even Yang Kai and Secretary Yang were discovered by him.

And there are really a lot of good things in Secretary Yang's house!

Nothing was taken away.

In case it will be used later.

After waiting for a while at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw a lot of people walking in from the outside.

The uncle in the reception room saw Zhou Xiaochuan at the door.

The other party stood at the door of the reception room and waved to Zhou Xiaochuan.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan walked over, "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Well, that kid Zhang Lin greeted me and said that if I saw you, I told you to wait in the room, come in, it's cold outside."

After he finished speaking, he opened the door of the reception room.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan walked in.

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it over.

The old man took the cigarette and pointed to the big bench next to him, "Sit there, it's warm there!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, thanked him, and sat there.

There is a coal stove next to it with an aluminum kettle on it.

The kettle was already open, and the steam was steaming from it.

The old man did not intend to chat with Zhou Xiaochuan, he was smoking the cigarette he gave and humming an unknown ditty.

But listening to the tone, it should be the tone of Huangmei Opera.

The people who went to work came one after another.

While he was waiting anxiously, after half an hour, Zhang Lin arrived late.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan teased: "Comrade Zhang Lin, what's the matter? Are you up late? Or was it too much work last night."

Zhang Lin didn't react at first, "It's too late! Didn't I pick the leaves for you? How about using it later? There's no tea leaves at this time!"

After speaking, he lifted the bag in his hand.

Then he reacted and sipped at Zhou Xiaochuan, "Don't talk nonsense, kid! I'm not married yet! You are insulting the aspiring young people who think they are in the new era!"

Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, then took the bag in his hand and opened it to take a look.

I saw a lot of tender buds inside, which looked about the size of tea leaves.

If he hadn't determined that there was no fresh tea in Huizhou at this time, he really thought it was tea.

Then he asked suspiciously, "What kind of leaf is this?"

"Osmanthus leaves! It took a lot of effort for this thing."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, as if the osmanthus tree did not shed leaves in winter.

Even if there is a small amount.

"It's too much trouble for you, you said I'd go get it."

Zhang Lin waved his hand when he heard the words, "It's alright, just kidding, how much effort can it take to collect this! Come on, let's go. The old man got up early."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at the uncle next to him: "Uncle Wang, let's go first!"

Then he smoked a cigarette and handed it to him.

The old man took the cigarette and waved at him, indicating that he could leave.

Zhou Xiaochuan watched Zhang Lin's actions.

It feels like the other person is really human.

As the son of the director of the provincial supply and marketing cooperative, it can be said that he can walk sideways in this place.

But still so polite to a doorman.

This person is also a talent.

After following the other party out of the reception room, Zhang Lin said, "I'm riding in front, you follow behind!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

Seeing this, the other party pushed the car out of the yard and walked towards the main road.

Walking on the road, Zhang Lin said to him, "A place to go in a while! He is an old master and usually stays in the tea garden. Isn't it New Year's Eve, so I'll be back."

"Is it in the public house before or?"

Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled for a while, if such a person worked for a private boss, he would be unlucky too.

"Oh, before the commune was established, the old man's family had a tea garden of about one mu, but the tea was never traded. He was just cultivating tea trees.

Later, the tea tree was cut down to grow grain, and the old man was a little discouraged. A few years ago, when the tea garden in the province was restored, he was invited to be a master. "

While riding the bike, he said happily: "I tell you, you will know when you go there. At Master Sun's side, you will know what tea is, and we drink tea the most."

After he finished speaking, he added, "That's right. Master Sun's children died during the war! Now they are alone, don't ask!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

Although it's a little strange why the other party can be fine, but no one else will tell him.

Riding with each other for a while.

Zhou Xiaochuan was strange for a while, "Is this going to the countryside?"

But instead of going to the countryside, he stopped in front of a small farmyard.

This is a dirt house.

Walls of mud mixed with rice husks and roofs made of straw.

At this time, the snow on the roof melted a little, and some yellowish liquid fell from the eaves.

"Okay, here we are."

Zhang Lin parked the car, greeted him, and led him in.

Zhou Xiaochuan followed after hearing the words.

"Master Sun, are you at home?"

Zhang Lin shouted to the inside as he walked.

Hearing the sound, the door inside was opened.

An old man with half white hair came out.

The old man is about sixty years old, very thin, but his eyes are very clear.

Not too cloudy.

Seeing Zhang Lin, he looked at Zhou Xiaochuan behind him and smiled, "Oh it's Zhang Lin? Is this the person you're talking about?"

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Yeah, didn't you agree last time? I'll bring him here today."

"Okay, come in!"

Master Sun nodded when he heard the words, put his hands on his back, and returned to the room.

The two followed into the room.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at it, this is a three-room Chase room plus a kitchen.

In fact, it is three rooms without any block.

A large open room is formed.

In the middle of the main room is a large Eight Immortals table and an incense case with a tall cabinet.

Directly above hangs a portrait of the leader.

On the left is a large bed. On the right is a sloping boiler.

The old man pointed to the large bench beside the Eight Immortals table, "Sit down for a while!"

After he finished speaking, he went to the direction of the upper cabinet.

Zhang Lin gestured to Zhou Xiaochuan after hearing this.

Both sat down.

After Zhang Lin sat down, he looked around and said with a smile, "Master Sun, is there anything missing at home? Tell me, I'll buy it for you when the time comes."

Zhou Xiaochuan, on the other hand, put his gaze on a set of purple clay teapots on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Tea cups, teapots, tea bowls, tea cups, saucers, tea trays.

Except for the teacup, everything else is one.

The teacups are six white porcelain teacups.

This is the most complete set of tea sets he has seen so far.

Except for himself, of course.

Others, including Zhao Qinian, all use that large enamel jar, and most use white china cups.

Rarely have I seen it so complete.

After a while, the old man turned around and came back with an iron box in his hand.

"I'm a lousy old man. What's the matter? You can eat and drink, as long as you don't starve to death."

After speaking, put the tea leaves on the table.

Then went to wash hands.

Next, Zhou Xiaochuan saw a scene he had only seen on TV before.

Hot cups and warm pots, pouring tea, washing tea, brewing, sealing pots, and dividing cups.

A set of actions that flow smoothly.

It looks very comfortable.

"Drink, this is the tea that Zhang Lin brought!"

Zhang Lin took a sip of the tea cup when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Master Sun, of course you need a craftsman like you for this good tea. If I drink it, it will be a waste."

The old man smiled and didn't speak, he took a sip of tea.

Zhou Xiaochuan also picked it up and tasted it.

I don't know if I just admired the old man's craftsmanship of making tea, but now it feels much better than just brewing it by myself.

When the old man just took out the tea, he knew that it was his own tea, and it was the best kind.

Just a small amount, only about one or two.

The cup is so small that it drank in a few sips.

Several people were drinking tea here.

After the old man drank one cup, he did not pour another cup, and the rest were divided by Zhang Lin and the two.

Looking at the two of them, the old man said slowly: "What kind of tea do you want to learn? I can only teach you one time. As for how much you can learn, it's up to you."

Zhou Xiaochuan was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Zhang Lin.

The other party smiled and said, "Master Sun is good at green tea and yellow tea, but Master Sun is actually good at making dark tea!"

Master Sun waved his hand, "There's nothing good or bad. It's just that my master came from the south and taught how to make black tea. I was also an apprentice in the tea garden with this craft."

Zhang Lin smiled when he heard the words: "Master Sun, don't be humble, the Pu'er tea you made, when I went to Yunshang, the masters in the tea garden said that the craftsmanship was no worse than theirs."

Hearing Zhang Lin's words, the other party smiled and did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan estimated that the old man's craftsmanship would not be bad.

After thinking of something, he said to Master Sun, "Master Sun, I want to learn how to make Pu'er tea."

Green tea, he felt it might still be flawed, but it had been fried so many times.

At least it's not a big problem.

But I still don't know much about Pu'er.

It's just that I eavesdropped on it for a while.

Master Sun nodded when he heard the words, and said to Zhang Lin next to him, "Have you brought everything?"

"Take it, take it!"

Zhang Lin drank the last sip of tea in the cup and hurriedly took out the cloth bag.

The old man took the leaves of the osmanthus tree and pinched it.

Then he said to Zhou Xiaochuan: "It's a little hard, and the leaves are a little small, but I'll use it for a while. Time is limited, I can only teach you to finish it on the spot, and the rest can only be spoken."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

One tea down, too many steps.

Seeing this, Master Sun began to speak.

Picking from the first step, one bud and two leaves.

In the second step of withering, that is, drying the tea leaves in the shade, making the tea leaves soft and reducing the temperature required for the greening.

Volatilize the smell of grass, which is conducive to the development of tea fragrance.

The precautions inside are that the dry season should be dry and wither, and the rainy season needs to be withered by hot air.

And how dry it is.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded while listening.

This is a little different from making green tea directly to kill the green.

After saying this, Master Sun brought a few people to the side of the sloping pot next to him.

"The temperature needs to be higher if it is directly killed without withering. The following is the most important process of tea production."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhang Lin, "Zhang Lin, go to the bottom of the pot and help me lead the charcoal fire."

Zhang Lin nodded when he heard the words.

Master Sun turned his head and said to Zhou Xiaochuan: "When finishing greens, the stability of temperature is very important, which is related to the quality of the finished tea, so I usually use charcoal, you can also use other methods. "

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded.

After a while, Zhang Lin built a fire underneath.

Master Sun felt the temperature in the big iron pot and poured some water into it.

After cleaning the pot, he waited for a while before pouring half of the bag of osmanthus leaves into it.

Bending down, his hands began to work together.

While frying, the old man muttered to himself.

It doesn't matter whether Zhou Xiaochuan can understand or not.

"The temperature of the iron pot rises quickly, but it is not easy to control. Some masters like to use stone pots. It depends on the individual."

Zhou Xiaochuan naturally understood what he meant when he heard his words.

A pot with a stable temperature is very important for a tea maker.

Where is the strength of the old master and other masters, isn't it the control of the heat?

At this time, in his mind, he thought of the tea leaves roasted in the tea factory.

In the tea factory, the machines that set the temperature, the tea leaves are actually very uniform.

But there are pros and cons.

The machine cooks more evenly. But it lacks the smell of fireworks.

Because no matter how powerful the master is, it is impossible for all tea leaves to be exposed to the same temperature.

It may be because of the flaw in this smile that handmade tea is highly regarded.

Master Sun's hands are very fast.

Not afraid of hot hands rolling in the pot.

In fact, the time is not long, the whole process is only six or seven minutes.

After frying, he began to teach Zhou Xiaochuan to knead.

"When kneading, remember to knead the old leaves hot and heavy, and the young leaves cold and lightly. The degree of severity depends on the size of the tea leaves and the water content, which all depend on experience. Also, kneading is not done once. , it needs to be kneaded again. Only in the future can the tea be more fragrant."

After finishing, he stopped the movement of his hand.

"Okay, the rest of the drying, pressing and drying will take time, so we can only get here."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

He grabbed a handful of green leaves and put them in his hand.

As expected of a master.

Osmanthus leaves, let him knead it, it is no different from tea.

And it doesn't look like there are any traces like creases.

The old man hammered his waist and sighed, "Hey, it's no good, I'm getting old! Just rubbing this little bit makes my waist sore."

After finishing speaking, he said to him, "There are still some left, you can try."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

Then he learned the old man's movements and started to do it.

In fact, it's not like the old man, it's all killed like this.

Moreover, I have fired many times in the space, but I have not paid attention to some precautions.

After stirring, he began to knead it.

Master Sun looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's movements and let out a light sigh.

But he didn't speak.

After Zhou Xiaochuan had kneaded it, he opened his mouth and said, "Then you made the tea, right?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan knew what tea the other party was talking about.

Heart sigh really great.

After hesitating, he nodded.

Master Sun nodded when he heard the words. But nothing was said.

When Zhang Lin saw that the two were ready, he came out from under the stove.

He also heard the words of the two of them just now, and now looked at Zhou Xiaochuan with a look of surprise.

Zhou Xiaochuan ignored him.

Think of Pu'er as raw and cooked.

Then he said to Master Sun.

But the other party shook his head when he heard the words, "I have never heard of raw or cooked tea. After Pu'er is made into tea cakes, it will slowly ferment and mature over time."

Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled when he heard his words.

Did you remember it wrong?

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan's expression, Master Sun said, "Actually, your skill in making tea can already be regarded as a master-level master. In the past, the problem of tea was also in the process of finishing the tea, and your current technique has improved a lot. The same goes for making green tea.”

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded.

Indeed, killing green has always been a more important step in making tea.

Master Sun looked at the two and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to teach you. The rest depends on your own proficiency in the future. This takes time, not overnight."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan understood that the other party was preparing to see off guests.

After thanking the other party, he and Zhang Lin left.

Walking on the road, Zhou Xiaochuan asked strangely, "Zhang Lin, how did you invite Master Sun?"

Zhang Lin smiled when he heard the words, "Hey, Master Sun was reluctant at first, but he was willing to come forward because of the face of your tea."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, he was still thinking about this question just now.

Masters of this level have apprentices.

This kind of craftsmanship is generally taught to apprentices, and the unique skills are taught at the end.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Zhang Lin and said, "Zhang Lin, no matter what this time, thank you. Let's have a meal later!"

Zhang Lin shook his head when he heard the words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Forget it! Next time! In the future, don't forget my brother for tea. "

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words.

"Don't worry, there will be good tea for you to keep in the future."

"It's good to have your words."

The two then chatted for a while and then parted.

Zhou Xiaochuan walked towards his home.

But on the way he stopped.

Because he saw a figure, it was the person who sold him the lacquer box that day.
