When the leaves become soft, take them out to cool, then rub them with your hands to make them curl up, and put them in the wok again for about an hour. When the color of the tea leaves becomes darker, take them out of the wok and spread them out to dry. After drying, they can be put away.
This is a relatively simple tea-making process.
She put the fried tea leaves, but did not rush to spread them out to dry. Instead, she made handmade tea soap. She had to find the mold in the handicraft workshop in the manor.
Ling Chuchu closed the doors and windows and entered the manor again.
As a handicraft expert, she not only opened a dyeing workshop.
She also made some handmade products on weekdays, took the time to take photos of the process that could be photographed, and posted them on the Internet to attract the attention of netizens.
Therefore, her workshop has many kinds of tools for handmade products.
Ling Chuchu soon found three sets of molds, put the evenly mixed tea soap paste into the molds, and waited for a few days before the molds could be removed and the soap cut.
This morning, it was the turn of the heroine Lu Yunshan to be on duty. When Lu Yunshan was cooking, she found Ling Chuchu busy in the yard.
Ling Chuchu spread out five baskets of tea leaves to dry, three of which were borrowed.
As soon as Chen Zining went out, she noticed Ling Chuchu standing on a stool and was about to push the bamboo basket to the top of the roof.
She was not tall, and even if she stood on tiptoe, she was still a little short of reaching it when she stood on the stool.
"Do you need my help?"
A familiar voice sounded behind Ling Chuchu.
Ling Chuchu didn't bother to be polite, "Then I'll trouble you."
Chen Zining moved his eyes to the basket and found that it was filled with tea leaves of green color, uniform in size, curled like snails.
"Is there tea in your basket?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Why is it like this? Curled like a snail, and with a strong aroma."
He felt incredible that tea could be made into this shape.
In his cognition, tea leaves are generally yellow in color, and after brewing, they taste bitter and astringent.
The tea leaves in Ling Chuchu's basket were already 70% dry, but the color was still green, but the color was darker than when they were on the tree.
"Don't look at it because it's curled up now. Once you soak it in water, it will spread out and taste more fragrant and not too bitter." The tea leaves Ling Chuchu made were Biluochun, which had a pleasant aroma after being soaked in water.
When it came out of the pot, she wanted to soak it in water, but unfortunately she was pregnant and couldn't drink too much tea, so she simply didn't try.
Ling Chuchu saw that Chen Zining was very interested in the tea leaves she made, so she said:
"If you like it, I can give you some."
Although the tea leaves were not completely dried, they were already suitable for making tea.
Chen Zining showed a hint of joy on his face.
Ling Chuchu picked up some of the newspapers left over from pasting the windows and packed some. "Take some for the time being, and I'll pack some for you after the tea leaves are completely dried."
"Then I won't be polite." After collecting the tea leaves Ling Chuchu gave him, Chen Zining stepped on a stool and easily pushed the other baskets of tea leaves inside.
"Don't push too far inside, otherwise it will be difficult for me to take them down when they are completely dry."
"It's okay, I'll help you take them down when the time comes."
Ling Chuchu smiled this time: "Then I thank you in advance."
This Chen Zining is handsome and polite, and girls are easily attracted to such men.
Easier to approach than the male protagonist. Although she has never come into contact with the male protagonist since she came here, she reads books. The author describes the male protagonist. Although the male protagonist has a good appearance, he is relatively cold in character. Even in life, he is cold and distant.
First of all, he is relatively cold to the two children of the female supporting role. They are obviously his own children, but he doesn't care about the growth of the two children.
Maybe he is more assured that his parents will raise the two children.
In less than a year, the female supporting role divorced Ye Jinchen, and the male protagonist soon married Lu Yunshan because of family pressure.
After the two got married, the male protagonist was in the army all year round, and he went home no more than twice a year, so that the female protagonist has never had children.
Later, the female protagonist was anxious. If it weren't for work reasons, she almost went to join the army.
When the heroine was a teacher, she was close to her colleagues. When the hero found out, he was still indifferent and continued to do his own thing.
A few months later, the heroine finally had her first child. Since then, the hero has not appeared again.
In this article, the hero is also a big weirdo in the article. Fortunately, the author gave the hero few roles, otherwise he would really be angry to death.
So much so that Ling Chuchu was too lazy to complain later and skipped through the whole article.
Chen Zining returned to the house and couldn't wait to boil water to make tea. As Ling Chuchu said, the tea leaves in the water slowly spread out after boiling water, which was beautiful and fragrant.
After cooling for a while, I tasted it. It tasted refreshing and the bitterness was not that severe.
This is the best tea.
After breakfast, everyone carried their own hoes and shovels and headed to the farm.
Although life was a bit hard, Ling Chuchu felt that such days were much more fulfilling than before.
After the tea leaves were dried, she packed them and walked towards the commune office.
The village director lit a cigarette, blew smoke and asked: "I heard that there are a lot of camellia this year."
The team leader responded: "More than a lot, it is twice as much as last year. It would be great if the grain could also have such a harvest."
With more grain, everyone can share more, but exporting the tea is a problem.
Then he added:
"There is a lot of camellia, and it can't be stored for too long. If it can't be sold, no matter how much there is, it will have to wait for it to grow mold."
The village director said indifferently: "Isn't there still a food factory?"
The team leader took out an envelope from the drawer and pushed it in front of the village director. "Take a look for yourself."
The village director opened the envelope and stood up in surprise, "Did the food factory cancel the more than 200 orders?"
The team leader nodded, "Yes, it was canceled, so this year's camellia will have to wait for it to grow mold."
"What should I do? How can I explain it to everyone? Every year, the villagers pick tea and record the centimeters, which can be exchanged for at least two yuan in income. This year, suddenly there is no income of two yuan..."
He didn't dare to imagine.
The village director walked back and forth anxiously, he was really panicked.
He was really afraid that everyone would not get the two yuan and would go to his house to ask for it.
Ling Chuchu heard this conversation as soon as she walked to the door of the office.
They were worried about selling tea leaves.
It was really hard to sell the tea leaves that were directly dried.
If they switched to the tea leaves she made, they would definitely have no worries about selling them.
As for the tea leaves, they could not be preserved.
She had a way to make the tea leaves into compressed cakes and pile tea, which could be well preserved. Moreover, some tea leaves would be more valuable the longer they were stored.
Ling Chuchu knocked on the door and walked in.
The village director saw the person coming and found that it was the new educated youth. He immediately calmed down.
The team leader greeted her with concern: "You are Ling, the educated youth. How are you? Are you used to living in the village?"
"It's pretty good. The village environment is good and the villagers are warm. I like it here very much." Ling Chuchu answered in an official manner.
"That's good."
"By the way, I came here to deliver some tea I made myself to the office. It's different from the tea you usually drink, and it has a very nice name, Biluochun."
The team leader was a little surprised when he heard that she made her own tea.
What interested the team leader was that Ling Chuchu said that the tea was different from the tea you usually drink, and it also has a very nice name, Biluochun.
"Ling Zhiqing, what you said is a bit too mysterious. I want to see what's different about the tea you make."
The village director said nothing and watched silently.
But he didn't agree in his heart. The most abundant thing in this village is tea. If the tea can't be exported this year, it can be eaten as food.
Now when he saw the tea, he felt troubled.
When the team leader opened the tea paper bag, the tea was emerald green and curled into a spiral.
There was also a faint tea fragrance.
The village director was also attracted by the special shape of the tea, grabbed a handful and smelled it.
The dry tea can retain the tea fragrance, and the tea making skills are definitely not shallow.
The village director asked hurriedly: "Ling Zhiqing, the color of this tea is not yellow, but emerald green, curled into a spiral, and the dry tea can still retain the tea fragrance. How did you do this?"
"I fried it."
"The frying you mentioned, is it fried in a pot?" The team leader asked again uncertainly.
"It is indeed fried in a pot."
"Tea can be fried?" The village director still couldn't believe it.
"How about this, I will brew it for everyone, and taste it first."
As she said, Ling Chuchu walked to the desk, picked up the kettle, and brewed two teacups of tea.
She didn't know whose teacups these were.
One had been bumped and was a little damaged, and the inside of the teacup didn't seem to be very clean.
The other one, although not new, must be used by someone who loves cleanliness, and is very clean inside and out.
In this era, everyone has their own teacup.
The village director and the team leader closely watched the changes in the tea in the teacup.
The bitter taste of the tea is not so strong, and there is only the fragrance of the tea, which lingers on the lips and teeth, and has an endless aftertaste.
After the two drank the tea brewed by Ling Chuchu for them, they could never forget the taste.
This tea, I guess women can also accept it.
After the two tasted the tea, Ling Chuchu asked, "How do you feel about this tea?"
Village director: "This tea is definitely the best tea."
Team leader: "I never thought that tea made from leaves would taste even better."
Ling Chuchu brewed tea for them again.
The village director held the teacup and smelled the fragrance of the tea.
This tea is definitely unique. If all the villagers can make this tea, they will have a good life.
But this tea-making technology was thought up by an outsider educated youth.
How can he have the nerve to ask others to contribute.
The team leader rubbed his hands excitedly, "Ling educated youth, look at this tea-making technology, can it, can it..."
He was really embarrassed to say it out loud.
How could Ling Chuchu not know what these two old men were thinking.
He just wanted to ask her to contribute her tea-making technology, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
"Ling Zhiqing, can you teach us this tea-making technology?"
Finally, it was the team leader who asked her.
"Sure, I came here to discuss this with you two."
