Chapter 1007 Pu'er Tea (continued)
"It's different."

An Qinyue shook her head again and again: "This Pu'er tea was given to him by an old friend of my grandpa on his 50th birthday. At that time, the friendship between them had been nearly 30 years, so my grandpa took this gift very seriously. Cherish it. In addition, in the early 90s, my grandfather’s friend passed away unfortunately, so under normal circumstances, he would not let others touch these tea cakes.”

Hearing this, Wu Ke said contemptuously: "Since this tea is so precious to your grandfather, you still steal it, you are really unfilial."

An Qinyue said with some coyness: "I'm a greedy person, and I've never forgotten these teas since I was a child, and my grandfather told me before that these teas would be given to me when I got married. I wish my marriage will be like theirs. The friendship between them is as long as ever. Since sooner or later it's my thing, it doesn't matter if you drink a little secretly."

At the end, An Qinyue's expression became natural again, just like what she said, anyway, this tea is her own sooner or later, so what's the problem with secretly drinking it?
Wu Ke giggled: "Then why were you so careful just now?"

An Qinyue waved her hand: "That's because you don't know how strict my grandfather is. I did this purely on instinct."

Wu Ke said with a smile: "Okay, regardless of whether you reacted instinctively or not, you can just say whether the Pu'er that has been stored in your family for decades will be sold."

"That's for sure, otherwise why would I ask you to come here?"

An Qinyue said something, then looked a little embarrassed, and said, "However, there is a situation that I want to tell you in advance, that's right, my grandfather said that there was a little mistake in the preservation of the basket of tea cakes earlier, You can only drink it as soon as possible, and it is impossible to keep it for a long time.”

"Ah! Is it going to break?" Wu Ke was a little surprised.

An Qinyue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's definitely not broken. How could I sell you bad tea leaves? I'll be responsible if I eat them. Besides, if the tea leaves are broken or not, it's fine for Mr. Chu to check. I can't lie to you about this!"

Seeing An Qinyue's expression of trying to explain, Wu Ke smiled and said, "Okay, I know sister Qinyue that you won't lie, but if you can only drink, isn't it too extravagant?"

She also checked some information on the Internet before, and knew that the reason why raw tea is precious is because of its characteristic of getting better and better with age, so the longer the storage time, the higher the price. Now this tea can't be stored for a long time, and there is no investment value.

An Qinyue smiled wryly and said: "Who says it's not? If you can't collect it for a long time, the value of Pu'er tea will drop a lot, but if you sell it cheap, we won't be willing. After all, it has been hidden at home for decades. It can only be sold at 'cabbage price', and I feel unwilling to think about it."

Chu Chen expressed his understanding, and then asked, "Miss An, can I ask what went wrong with your storage?"

An Qinyue said: "There is nothing wrong with this, but there is a problem with the sealing, which makes the tea leaves age too much, so I can only drink them now, otherwise the taste of the tea will fade in a few years."

Chu Chen understood the meaning of An Qinyue's words, but Wu Ke was a little confused, and asked, "Didn't you say that Pu'er tea gets more fragrant with age? Why does the taste of tea become weaker? And it has to be sealed and preserved."

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Puer tea is like a person. From birth to death, it also has a lifespan, but whether it is 60 years, or 100 years, or hundreds of years, now because of the quality of the tea and the environment in which it is preserved, it has a lifespan. There is no conclusive information on the reasons, and it often depends on the intuition of tea drinkers to judge the degree of aging.”

"For example, Fuyuanchang and Tongqing's old Pu-erh round teas have reached the highest level of aging, so they must be sealed and stored, so as not to continue rapid post-fermentation, resulting in the gradual loss of tea properties and deterioration of taste. There are also examples of this, the Forbidden City The pumpkin tribute tea has been aged for 200 years, and its taste is 'the soup is colorful, but the taste of the tea is aged and weak'."

"So, if a tea drinker thinks that a Pu'er tea that has been stored for many years has reached its peak, it should be properly preserved. If there is a mistake, it will affect the quality and taste of the tea."

An Qinyue nodded and said, "That's right, that tube of old tea cakes was originally managed by my father, but during this time, he has been focusing on Xiaosan, and it was too late when he discovered the problem. Grandpa was so angry that he broke his crutches."

In the end, her complexion was also very ugly. Chu Chen and Wu Ke understood this very well. After all, no matter who they are, they don't want to see their father empathize with others and abandon their original spouse.However, this was An Qinyue's family matter, and it was inconvenient for them to say more, so everyone fell silent for a while.

After a while, Wu Ke broke the slightly awkward atmosphere and said, "Sister Qinyue, why don't we go and see the tea leaves now."

An Qinyue knew that she had been affected, so she acted a little rude. After smiling apologetically to the two of them, she led them to a clean and tidy small room at the back, where there were some large and small pottery urns and porcelain urn.

An Qinyue invited the two of them in, and introduced: "Puer tea should be fermented and stored in an environment with moderate humidity, moderate temperature, and ventilation, so it must be stored in a dry warehouse. However, although a dry warehouse can keep Pu'er tea's Authenticity, but the transformation is slower."

"Therefore, in order to gain profits, some tea merchants put the tea leaves in an environment with poor ventilation and high humidity to accelerate the aging. But doing so will definitely affect the quality of the tea, and because it is easy to cause the growth of tea koji bacteria, this kind of Drinking tea is not only useless but harmful, we will not do such things.”

Wu Ke said contemptuously: "I don't know what those profiteers think. They harm people for a little profit. If you want me to say, these people should be shot!"

An Qinyue smiled and said, "Xiao Ke, I didn't expect you to be irrational sometimes. If you are shot every time you do something bad, why do you need the law?"

Wu Ke stuck out his tongue and said: "The main reason is that they are too hateful. Food is the most important thing for the people. It's fine if the food tastes bad. How can you use bad things to harm people! If I want to say it, it's this The regulations are too lax.”

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "The law also needs to be enforced by people. Let's just say a few words and just be ourselves."

An Qinyue agreed: "Yes, we just need to be ourselves!"

As she spoke, she brought the two of them to a well-sealed porcelain urn, and said, "The tea urn is made of porcelain and pottery. However, the choice of storage utensils is particular. Porcelain urns are suitable for raw cakes, and cooked cakes with sour gas should not be put into this kind of container, and it is better to put them in pottery urns."

"In addition, pottery urns can be divided into glazed and unglazed. Glazed urns have better moisture retention and moderate activity, and can be put into old tea. Unglazed pottery urns have better transferability and are suitable for new tea. But Be careful, too strong water absorption is not suitable for tea."

Hearing this, Wu Ke sighed: "I didn't expect to be so particular about storing tea leaves."

An Qinyue smiled and said: "Of course, if you want to make money, don't think about getting something for nothing. Although Pu'er tea is an antique that can be drunk, the older it is, the more valuable it is, but it's not like just putting Pu'er tea there. For example, in our house, these containers cost a lot of money to order."

Wu Ke giggled and said, "Then they also made you a lot of money."

An Qinyue said: "No way, just like antiques, the price of Pu'er has only increased in the past few years, and there are not many people drinking Pu'er now, and few people buy it. If it weren't for my family, there are other Industry, whether this tea house can support it is still a question!"

Wu Ke said: "Since Pu'er tea is a good thing, you can make some brochures and distribute it. If people understand the functions of Pu'er tea, more people will naturally drink it."

"It's not impossible, it's just that the effect is slower."

At this time, Pu'er tea was not so well-known a few years later, and An Qinyue had been worrying about the poor business. She frowned slightly, and suddenly thought that since Pu'er tea is known as an antique that can be drunk, is it a strategy that can be bought and sold as an antique? to increase its appeal?
Thinking of this, An Qinyue smiled, looked at Chu Chen with watery eyes, and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you have any good advice on this?"

Seeing this situation, Wu Ke waved his hand between the eyes of the two: "Hey, hey! My genuine card is still here, how dare you seduce her husband with the cheek?"

An Qinyue grabbed Wu Ke's hand with a smile, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Xiao Ke, I really put a lot of effort into this tea house, so please be considerate of me!"

Wu Ke waved his hands and shouted: "I can't take it anymore, you can take all men and women! Ah Chen, hurry up and get rid of her for me."

Seeing two beauties laughing in front of their eyes is indeed a pleasing thing, but this kind of thing should not be watched too much, otherwise the flames of war may burn on their own heads.

Therefore, Chu Chen hurriedly said with a smile: "Actually, if something wants to attract the attention of others, all you need to do is hype it with related topics."

An Qinyue was a little stunned and hesitant when she heard the words: "It's hype, it doesn't seem very pleasant."

Chu Chen said: "There are good and bad hypes, such as Pu'er tea, if you hype its efficacy, as long as you don't exaggerate it, then it's fine, but if you talk about its efficacy in an exaggerated way, as if it can cure any disease, then There is a problem. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the hype, it’s just that the people who hype it have wrong ideas, so of course there are problems with the topic of hype.”

"Yes."

Wu Ke said: "This is just a means, the key still depends on the person who uses it."

An Qinyue thought for a while and said, "Okay, let me try."

Chu Chen reminded again: "However, there is one thing to pay attention to. It is best not to let others know that you are involved in the hype."

An Qinyue smiled: "I will pay attention to this point. If the effect is good, I will definitely thank you two."

Wu Kewen said with a coquettish smile: "I think the effect will definitely be good, don't wait until now, let's do it now."
