My wife is Wu Zetian

Chapter 83 Fried Tea
Changsun Yan was stunned, what was he thinking, how could there be a big iron pot here.

You must know that iron was a scarce commodity in the Tang Dynasty, and his mansion did have it, but this tea garden has not reached that level.

"do not have it?"

Li Yanran frowned, isn't there even an iron pot here?

"Not here, but Changsun's Mansion has it. Zhao Wu, go back to the mansion immediately and get the iron pot."

Embarrassed for a while, Changsun Yan immediately instructed Zhao Wu to go back to the mansion to fetch the iron pot.

Seeing Zhao Wu's leaving back, Li Yanran also shook her head.

The few people looked at Li Yanran at a loss, what should they do next if they don't have trouble?
"Why don't I make a pot of tea and let's taste the beauty of this new tea?"

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Changsun Yan scratched his head a little, and wanted to show off his tea-making skills.

"Forget it, let's filter this bud tea first."

Li Yanran said directly, forget about your dark dishes.

I am really afraid of drinking your tea and being poisoned by you.

Everyone poured all the bud tea in the basket on a bamboo stick, staring at the big eyes and began to pick tea.

When everyone was dazzled by the choices, Zhao Wu came galloping in Changsun Yan's donkey cart.

Seeing the iron pot that Zhao Wu took down from the carriage, Li Yanran was also stunned.

Is this what you call a big iron pot?
Is this fifty centimeters?
But now as long as it is useful, I am not qualified to pick and choose.

He ordered Cheng Chubi to chop some moso bamboos, remove the leaves and make a broom for tea frying, then put the iron pot on the stove,

First use the stove to heat it slightly, and it feels almost the same. Pour more than half a catty of bud tea into the pot. If the pot is too small and too much bud tea is poured, the bud tea will be heated unevenly, which will affect the quality of the finished tea.

Cheng Chubi took a broom made of moso bamboo and started to stir-fry rapidly according to Li Yanran's instructions. After about two or three minutes, the tea leaves in the iron pot had turned a bit dark, which was the phenomenon of the moisture in the tea leaves being fried.

Raise the iron pot so that the temperature of the iron pot drops slightly, and then wave the broom again to let the tea swirl in the pot.

When the tea leaves start to wrinkle, condense into strips, and become sticky, raise the iron pot again to lower the temperature of the iron pot.

Stir-fry until the tea leaves got into the bamboo of the broom. After reheating and frying several times, when the leaves of the bud tea were [-]% to [-]% dry, Cheng Chubi poured the stir-fried tea leaves on the iron pan. Bamboo strips above.

The roasted tea leaves are dark green and curled into strips, not to mention exactly the same as the tea Li Yanran drank in later generations, if not much different.

Li Yanran was also very satisfied seeing that the first fried tea was made like this.

"Brother Li, your method of frying tea is very strange. The tea has a peculiar fragrance. I don't know how it will taste after cooking?" Changsun Yan sniffed his nose, also a little dazed.

He didn't say what tea drinking is, but he still has some insights into tea under the influence of his ears and eyes.

The tea leaves roasted in this way are indeed much more fragrant than the best treasures collected by the old man.

Li Yanran's head is full of black lines, if you dare to cook and eat this tea, I guarantee you won't be able to leave this tea garden.

Cheng Chubi grabbed a wisp of tea leaves, put it in his mouth, chewed it and spat it out.

"The taste of the tea is very strong, but it is a bit hard. If you really want to cook it, it probably won't taste good."

Li Yanran gave Cheng Chubi a gouged look, can you put down my tea.

She has a deep understanding of cattle chewing peonies.

Li Yanran held the new tea as if she was protecting a calf, and said fiercely to the others: "Don't touch my tea, this is not boiled or eaten raw, but brewed and drunk."

"Drink it with water?"

A few people were all stunned, soaking and drinking?

What a magic method.

"That's right, there's spring water here, go and fetch a pot."

Li Feng nodded, and left directly with a kettle.

Most tea gardens will have spring water, otherwise, irrigation would be a big problem.

After all, relying on the sky to eat is somewhat unreliable, isn't it?

After a while Li Feng came back with a kettle, which was filled with clear spring water.

Take a small pot, put it on the stove to smoke the water, watching the boiling spring water, everyone's eyes are full of anticipation.

After all, it was the first time they met for drinking tea.

Li Yanran brought out a few teacups and put them in front of everyone, grabbed some freshly roasted tea leaves and put them in the teacups, then Li Feng picked up water and poured them into the teacups one after another.

After brewing with boiling water, the curled up tea leaves begin to stretch in the water when heated, and the originally clear tea water gradually turns emerald green and transparent, looking like a piece of emerald placed in the tea cup.

A light and distant tea fragrance also permeated the air, which made people feel shocked.

"what?"

"This tea looks really different from what we used to drink."

Changsun Yan is also somewhat knowledgeable, he has drunk countless good teas, this tea is more than a notch better than the tea he has tasted before in terms of its aroma alone.

As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of salt and was about to throw it in, but Li Yanran knocked it away with a broom.

"This is tea, don't add anything weird to me."

Li Yanran is drunk, and you still add bad things to me, isn't it a waste of things?

After finishing speaking, she picked up the teacup, gently blew on the tea leaves floating on it, sniffed it with her nose, and then took a small sip.

It feels okay, and the taste is similar to the bagged tea bags bought for ten yuan a bag in later generations.

After all, frying tea is a technical job, which is simple and easy to say, but also difficult to say.

In addition to the quality of the tea leaves, the more skilled workers are, the better the tea will be.

This is like the chefs of later generations. Some people can make state banquets with the same raw materials, while others can only make a messy stew.

As a novice herself, she was already very satisfied that she could make it with the help of the videos she saw later, and did not overcook the tea.

Seeing the satisfied expression on Li Yanran's face, the people on the side immediately picked up the tea cup impatiently, followed Li Yanran's example, and began to drink tea.

Changsun Yan and Li Siwen were fine, but Cheng Chubi and Yu Chihuan, two idiots, blew out in one breath, spraying Changsun Yan on the opposite side with tea foam all over his face and body.

Changsun Yan pulled the tea leaves off his face, gave the two of you a look of waiting, and slowly drank the tea in the cup.

After a cup of tea was exhausted, the four of them put down the cup with reminiscence, and looked at Li Yanran with a hint of admiration.

The tea has a delicate fragrance, and the tea has a strong tea flavor, and there is even some aftertaste after drinking it.

Compared with the clear tea in front of me, the tea I ate before was like pig food, no, even pigs don't know how to eat it.

At this moment, there was a voice in their hearts, tea, that's how they drink it.

After a cup of tea, Cheng Chubi couldn't wait to take the kettle from Li Feng's hand, and made tea for several people again.

This kind of delicacy is really rare in the world, and only Brother Li can have this uncanny ability to turn decay into magic.

While several people were drinking tea, the old tea craftsman returned from the mountain with his craftsmen, smelling the fragrance of tea in the air, he was surprised for a while.

He came straight in front of a few people, looked at the tea in their cups, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Glancing at a few people, the old tea craftsman asked a little embarrassedly: "Masters, can I let this old man have a taste of this tea?"

　Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly tickets, ask for collections.
