Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 11 Fried Tea
Yes, Zhu Xiuyuan commanded the teahouse workers to fry the tea that was common in later generations.

Before the emergence of fried tea, there was steaming tea. This is the process used by Dong's Tea House.

The reason why he "commanded" the tea house guys to do it was because Zhu Xiuyuan only knew the method but had never practiced it himself.

It is more appropriate to let the tea shop guys who deal with tea all day long do it, and it is definitely better than Zhu Xiuyuan doing it himself.

And why Zhu Xiuyuan knows the art of tea frying? This is also very simple.

In his previous life, Zhu Xiuyuan was an ordinary clerk in an ordinary company. He basically had no activities after get off work and usually stayed at home.

Naturally, various games and entertainment videos have become his pastime.

Zhu Xiuyuan especially likes going to Bizhan.

Zhu Xiuyuan especially likes to watch all kinds of videos on popular science, food, ghosts and animals, digital, dramas, life, etc.

Among them, there is a grandma with the theme of "rural life", and a video of frying tea is uploaded.

And he explained it in great detail...as if he was afraid that the audience wouldn't know.

When Zhu Xiuyuan was thinking hard, spending countless brain cells recalling the details in the video.

Finally, he got the "newbie gift package" as a traveler——

After some hard thinking, you can remember all the experiences in your previous life...

"Uncle, can you drink it?" Qiu Wen swallowed vaguely and shifted her gaze from the tea bowl to his face.

Just now, my uncle poured out a whole bowl of tea, saying it was "washing tea" and not drinkable.

This made Qiu Wen very anxious.

What a waste!

In addition, Dong Shuzhen and the guys in the tea house all stared at Zhu Xiuyuan after hearing the words.

"Husband, I want to be the first to taste it."

Dong Shuzhen shook his arm and started acting coquettishly.

But she did it purely for fun. This kind of "making tea" was cooked under her watch, which was not a matter of honor.

"well."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded and opened the large tureen as the "lid".

Suddenly, a strong aroma of tea wafted in, spreading like an explosion and moving with the wind.

Everyone present smelled the fragrance.

"Lady, this is yours, drink it slowly, don't burn it." Zhu Xiuyuan took a smaller bowl, poured the tea at the bottom of a bowl, and handed it to Dong Shuzhen himself.

Dong Shuzhen said happily: "Thank you so much, husband."

She held the small tea bowl in both hands, her long sleeves and shawl fluttering, she raised her neck and drank all the tea at the bottom of the bowl.

The two maids, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, stretched their necks and followed the movement of the small bowl.

Xia Wu was fine, she was just curious about the color of the tea.

As for Qiu Wen, she is really jealous.

Seeing Qiu Wen's "greedy look" in his eyes, Zhu Xiuyuan raised the corners of his mouth.

He took another small bowl, poured out the bottom of the bowl, and handed it to Qiu Wen.

Qiu Wen immediately took it and drank it in one gulp...

At this time, Dong Shuzhen smacked her mouth and looked strange.

Xia Wu immediately came up and asked, "Miss, what does it smell like?"

"I can't tell, it's a bit weird, but I can still drink it..."

She asked Zhu Xiuyuan to pour some more for her...

Soon, the bowl of tea that had been brewed was drank by several people.

When Zhu Xiuyuan and the others were busy drinking tea, they were coming and going.Haruyuki and the teahouse staff were stunned and fell into a state of sluggishness——

This tea smells...

It’s completely different from previous teas!
It has a slightly burnt aroma, and the fragrance is more intense and mellow!In fact, this is the difference between fried tea and steamed tea.

Roasted tea is more fragrant!
Haruyuki and the others have never smelled this kind of fragrance!

Chunxue often accompanied Dong Shuyu and knew tea well.The guys at the tea house have been dealing with tea for half their lives and are even more sensitive to the aroma of tea!
Dong Shuzhen and others smelled the scent and thought it was fragrant, but they knew nothing about the meaning of the scent!
...Finally, Haruyuki and others also drank this tea.

After taking a sip, I thought it tasted a bit strange.

Take another sip, and your mouth will be fragrant.

Another sip, refreshed!
Haruyuki and the tea house guys are people who really understand tea. They have tasted that this kind of fried tea is indeed extraordinary.

"Tea porridge", or "ming porridge", compared with fried tea, is simply weak!

"My lord, I have only dealt with tea leaves for most of my life. This method of frying tea, and this method of drinking tea, is really the first time I have seen it. It can be said to be a breakthrough in the past and present. It has set a precedent...My lord You are truly a god!"

An old tea shop man admired it sincerely.

This old man’s understanding of tea has reached a very advanced level.

He had done it himself when he used an iron pot to fry tea just now. Under Zhu Xiuyuan's guidance, he succeeded in frying tea...

The rest of the staff also admired him one after another. Every word you said, and what I said, almost praised Zhu Xiuyuan as a "God of Tea"!

Although Zhu Xiuyuan was modest, the curvature of the corners of his mouth became wider and wider——

This is the effect he wants!

That's what it feels like!

……

Dong Shuzhen did not expect that the old men at the teahouse would be so respectful of the fried tea made by her husband!
Listening to the compliments of the old guys, Dong Shuzhen held her husband's hand, leaning against him, smiling, and feeling proud.

Xia Wu's eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.

And Qiu Wen made a new discovery. Tea and pastries are a perfect match!
Only Zhu Xiuyuan noticed that his sister-in-law Dong Shuyu's personal maid, Chun Xue.

He took a little from the tea can, wrapped it in a clean handkerchief, and hurried away.

……

The back hall of the tea house.

Dong Shuyu sits elegantly.

She held the scroll in her hand, but her attention was not on it.

Instead, it was Haruyuki who was tinkering with the stove, kettle, and two bowls, one large and one small.

Dongmei, who was in front of the desk, also stopped writing and stared at Haruyuki curiously.

She heard that this set of actions is called "making tea", not "cooking tea".

In her opinion, isn't tea just for cooking?

So this strongly aroused her curiosity.

"done?"

Dong Shuyu saw that Chunxue put a handful of "roasted tea tree shoots" into a small bowl, then lifted the boiling kettle from the stove, poured boiling water into the small bowl, and finally covered the small bowl with a large bowl.

After that, Haruyuki stood aside and remained motionless.

Dong Shuyu was shocked, this is too simple!
You know, cooking a pot of tea and porridge is much more complicated than this.So Dong Shuyu asked this question.

"Miss, this is enough. You can drink it after a while." Haruyuki said with a smile.

"Oh."

Dong Shuyu nodded without comment.

While waiting, she took the square handkerchief from Haruyuki, unfolded it, and carefully observed these "tea tree buds" that were fried in the iron pot and were easily crushed.

Well, it is indeed completely different from the common tea cakes, because the tea cakes are extremely hard...

She leaned her nose close and took a whiff, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed sharply.

A pair of wonderful eyes stared at the "roasted tea buds", pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

She was exhausted, her spirits were shaken, she raised her head and stared at the tea bowl with an extremely serious expression!
