The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 176 Master Fox's Careful Selection

After tasting the roasted Tieguanyin handed to her by Aqing, Ansheng explained to Aqing from an academic and craftsmanship perspective why this Tieguanyin was difficult to drink, and at the same time complained about the poor and immature craftsmanship of the other party.

But Ansheng's comments, when they entered Yu Xueqing's mind, became simple and clear:

"Master, master! This is unpleasant to drink. It tastes like pine needles that have been burned. My mouth and tongue are numb. It's not sweet or fragrant. It's different from the sweet water we have at home."

"Huhu feels like he's eaten a mouthful of ash!"

After Yu Xueqing thought about it, she combined her feelings about this roasted Tieguanyin tea and said to the live broadcast room:
"After our Master Fox's in-depth evaluation, he frankly said he felt like he had hit a wall!"

As soon as Yu Xueqing finished speaking, some question marks started to appear in the live broadcast room.

The tourists around the tea stall were all stunned and nodded subconsciously, feeling that Aqing's adjective, although a little weird, was inexplicably appropriate.

Tea that has not undergone the annealing process still has the pungent feeling of carbon fire and the astringent alkaline taste.

After drinking it, wouldn’t people just be disappointed?
“It’s a good description, and the mouth is quite picky.”

When the tea stall owner saw Ah Qing, he didn't get angry because Ah Qing pointed out the product shortage. Instead, he said with interest, "I remember you. You seem to be the little one in Ah Hong's family, right?"

"You are absolutely right. My roasted Tieguanyin tea has not been annealed in the usual way. Instead, it has been prepared using a new process. However, the finished product still cannot meet the standards of roasting or fragrance."

"At present, the light-fragrant Tieguanyin occupies half of the market. Electric-roasted Tieguanyin has also taken a part of the market. Even among traditional charcoal-roasted Tieguanyin, the most popular ones are the lightly roasted ones."

"But there is also a market for dark roasted tea. My tea factory often receives such complaints, so we are constantly trying to improve the process. This is our experimental tea, and it is also brought here for tea competition and discussion."

The owner of the tea stall was all smiles. He praised Yu Xueqing for her picky taste and introduced her to the tea drinkers around him.

Those who could come here were tea drinkers and tea merchants, and he did not explain some basic things in too much depth.

The Tieguanyin market is very large and was once very popular across the country.

But what became popular was the "light-fragrant Tieguanyin".

This thing is the product of cutting corners, and because of the immature technology in the past, drinking too much of it will cause acid reflux and vomiting, similar to the reaction of being drunk.

However, the most traditional and authentic "Roasted Tieguanyin" was abandoned because of its complicated production process and hindered profit.

As the capital boom faded, some tea drinkers who truly loved authentic Tieguanyin tea were shocked to find that there was no traditional dark-roasted Tieguanyin on the market.

This is the history of Tieguanyin. The tea factory owner saw the potential in this market, developed a new preparation process, and tried to do specialized business in the sinking market.

But process improvements cannot be achieved just by talking.

How to simplify the process while retaining the flavor, or balance the cost and selling price, is a heavy problem.

The main purpose of Mr. Chen, the old man from the tea factory, setting up a tea stall is to listen to the opinions of tea drinkers, ask for comments from some professional experts, and then determine the next direction for improvement.

He came here to make money, not to jump into the big pit and make a contribution.

Therefore, when he heard Yu Xueqing's comments, he did not feel angry at all. Instead, he spoke with interest and asked Aqing for her suggestions on improving this tea.

"Uh"

When she met the tea stall owner from the same village, who invited her to sit down and talk about [improvements and opinions on deep-roasted Tieguanyin], Aqing's eyes became a little vague and a little embarrassed.

She is good at drinking and making tea, but when it comes to the core process of preparation, Aqing can only be considered an amateur.

The tea-making process is not difficult, but she doesn't understand the significance of each step and the corresponding chemical formula. 【???】

In the live broadcast room that Yu Xueqing had no time to pay attention to, more and more question marks began to appear.

According to the normal routine and plot, shouldn't Yu Xueqing's words, which sounded like a provocation, lead to an angry boss throwing a tantrum?

Then, you look down on Aqing for being ignorant. After drinking tea for a few years, she dares to come out and point fingers?
In the end, Aqing was scolded by her boss and cried, but the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore and beat her up for justice?

But now, the boss politely invited me to sit down in the tea stall and discussed the tea industry and the prospects of dark roasted Tieguanyin.

The audience in the live broadcast room were so confused that they started to ask questions.

Mo Yiqing, who had been following the live broadcast, saw that there was a suspected conflict in the live broadcast room. Without saying a word, he directly threw Note No. 1 into Aqing's live broadcast room to help Aqing increase the popularity of the live broadcast room and help her to hit the charts.

".That's how it is, so please give me some advice based on your taste."

Old Chen from the tea factory spoke up, preparing to record the opinions of this picky girl as a market survey.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xueqing subconsciously glanced sideways at the little fox on her shoulder.

"Why are you looking at me? You're looking at him! Let the uncle V me 50,000 yuan for tea money to soothe his throat, otherwise, my advice to him is in vain."

"Aqing, seize the opportunity to make money!" The little fox kept moaning, jumped, and landed lightly on the tea table with a proud expression.

then.

Under the strange gazes of Mr. Chen from the tea factory, the tea drinkers, and the audience in the live broadcast room, the little fox sniffed the dozen or so tea bowls on the tea table, as well as the tea soups that had been brewed at different times.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The little fox looked at Aqing, raised its fox paw, placed it on one of the covered bowls, and patted it gently three times.

"You want me to scoop three spoonfuls of this tea? Put it into the high-iron tea cup?"

After hearing Ansheng's whimper, Yu Xueqing's face froze, and she glanced sideways at the tea stall owner. The owner, with a confused look on his face, subconsciously turned sideways and took out a Jianzhan teapot with a high iron content from a storage box nearby.

Jianzhan was originally one of the specialties of Xiadong.

However, compared with Dahongpao, Jianzhan is not as famous.

"嘤嘤!"

The little fox turned around and walked to another fairness cup and patted it. Aqing quickly followed and scooped out the corresponding tea from it with a disposable spoon.

Then, the little fox jumped under the table and started rummaging through the storage box. He took out two bags of tea leaves, brought them to Yu Xueqing, and asked her to start brewing.

Under everyone's confused gaze, the little fox directed Aqing to use new tea leaves and tea soup to mix a pot of about 300 ml of hot tea.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

The little fox raised its head high, exposing its chest and neck, and patted the [Blended Deep Roasted Tieguanyin] that flowed through the Jianzhan tea bowl and finally fell into the tea bowl.

"Xiao An said, you guys come and try it." Yu Xueqing said weakly with a blush on her cheeks.
