Chapter 488 Tea Success
"It's done." Yue Shan smiled with satisfaction.

"Really?" Cheng honestly said in surprise, which meant that they could stay and work in Yuefu tea garden.

"Come on, you guys have a taste." Yue Shan said.

"Okay..." Cheng honestly agreed and wanted to come and taste it.

Then Ma Dacai tugged at him, and said with a flattering smile, "This glass cup is a treasure, how can we use it, we can just use that bowl."

At this time, Cheng Laoshi also reacted, and quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, we can use that bowl, but we dare not use such a precious treasure."

Yue Shan didn't force it, nodded and said: "Well, you can do whatever you want."

Ma Dacai ran to the stove and brought over the bowls they usually used to drink water. Following Yue Shan's example, he made a bowl of tea, and then the five of them shared a bowl to finish the tea.

"How?" Yue Shan asked.

"This..." Several people hesitated, apparently not having a good impression.

"Hehe...that's because you guys are not used to drinking." Yue Shan was neither angry nor disappointed.

When you drink a certain beverage for the first time, you will be a little uncomfortable, except for sugar water. After all, sweets are the taste that can bring people the most happiness. This is something that is rooted in your bones, so you don’t need to get used to it.

But for other beverages, whether it is salt water, sour water, tea, coffee, etc., you will feel a little uncomfortable when you drink it for the first time.

Even people who often drink boiled water will feel that the taste is very strange when they drink cold water once in a while. Conversely, people who often drink cold water drink plain water once in a while will also feel uncomfortable in taste.

The kind of tea that you can drink for the first time and taste the bitterness first, then the fragrance, not to say that there is no, and it will not be too much.Only after drinking a few times to get familiar with the taste, can you appreciate the taste.

It is also the first time in Yue Shan's life to drink brewed fried tea, and the taste is also a little uncomfortable. It's more of a slightly bitter taste rather than a lingering fragrance.

But he had drunk tea in his previous life, and he knew how to taste tea, so that he could overcome the discomfort of the taste and feel the fragrance hidden behind the bitterness.

Cheng Laoshi and others drank it for the first time, and it would be hell if they could taste it.

But having said that, the fried tea this time was not as successful as I imagined. The reason is that the heat is a bit old, which makes the bitter taste a bit heavy, and even has a slight smell of fireworks, which is commonly known as burnt taste.

But if it can be fried to the current level, it means that there is no problem in the procedure, and the rest is one-degree mastery, which can be mastered naturally after a few more times of frying.

In fact, he knew almost nothing about fried tea.

In his previous life, he was a native of the north and his hometown did not produce tea. He grew up and lived in the north and seldom went to the south. He had never even seen a real tea tree, let alone roasted tea.

Thanks to the explosion of information in the Internet age, he has seen information on fried tea on the Internet, but because he is not interested in this aspect, he just glanced at it, and didn't even read it roughly.

He only vaguely remembered one pot, two pots, three pots and kneading, and then there was nothing else.

In this case, one, two or three pots are enough. It’s too complicated. Let’s fry it in one pot. It’s just a matter of heat and time.

As a result, it really came out, which shows that tea can be fried in one pot at one go.

As for why he did one, two, and three pots in his previous life, he didn't understand, maybe there was some mystery in it that he didn't know.But that has nothing to do with him, he is already very satisfied to be able to fry such tea.

After drinking the tea, he told the six people that the tea was basically ready, but the smell of fireworks in this pot was a bit strong, so he asked them to continue frying and continue to explore the issue of heat.

Just after summing up the experience here, and preparing to bring people to continue the speculation, Yu Zhiming walked over in a hurry.

"Dean, Dean."

"Zhiming, what's wrong?"

"Subordinates have... um, didn't I bother you?"

"No, it's just right for you to come here. Just finish your work, so let's talk about it."

So Yu Zhiming poured out bitterness and told the story of the common people coming to buy chicken and ducklings:
"My God, where are we going to get so many chicks? It's only April, and it's not yet time for the hens to hatch. Occasionally, a few hens hatch, and the chicks are not enough for us to use."

"Have you spoken to them?"

"Yes, but they said that there are no small chickens, and big chickens are fine."

"This..." Yue Shan asked with a strange expression: "Did they still say that there are so many chickens and ducks in the academy anyway, it's okay to sell them one?"

"That's right, that's right." Yu Zhiming nodded hastily.

Yue Shan shook his head and laughed, it seems that this reason can be used in any era, and it really comes down in one continuous line.

"Tell them that chickens and ducks can only be effectively wiped out locusts if they gather in large numbers, and separating three or five chickens will not be effective. The academy plans to regularly transport chickens and ducks to places where the locust plague is severe, so they don't sell them." Yue Shan thought for a while.

"Ah? This is too troublesome. Long-distance travel will cause a large number of deaths of chickens and ducks." Yu Zhiming objected.

"Don't worry, there is no place where the people will ask the academy to help them catch locusts." Yue Shan laughed.

"Ah, why?" Yu Zhiming asked in confusion.

"The locusts can go to the Royal Commercial Bank to pay back the money, or they can go to the government office to exchange food. They can't wait to wrap up all the locusts and let no one catch them. Why would they ask the academy to help catch them?" Yue Shan explained.

"But they can just catch locusts and sell them for food. Why do they buy chickens and ducks?" Yu Zhiming asked suspiciously.

"Hehe... The chickens and ducks I added can eat locusts and raise them up, and they can lay eggs to hatch. It saves time and effort compared to catching locusts by myself. Why don't they buy them?" Yue Shan said with a smile:
"But if the chickens and ducks from the academy went to help them catch locusts, it would be a different situation."

"Gao, the dean is really clever." Yu Zhiming suddenly realized.It is indeed clever to use the righteousness of chickens and ducks to efficiently kill locusts to suppress those people, and then use benefits to persuade them to quit.

Yue Shan smiled modestly and let him deal with this matter.When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said: "Oh, that's right, find a way to let chickens and ducks hatch more nests, and sell the hatched seedlings in the market."

"Here." Yu Zhiming responded, and left after seeing that he had no other orders.

When Yue Shan thought about this matter, it was really interesting, I can only say that it was interesting.He understands the people's plan, everyone is not stupid, and everyone understands the principle of using chickens and ducks to catch locusts to generate income.

And they really didn't have any malicious intentions when they came to the academy to buy chickens and ducks. It can only be said that they were a little selfish and didn't consider other people's feelings.

To deal with this kind of people, you can't drive them away directly. It's better to think of a flexible way to make them retreat voluntarily.

As for chicken and duck seedlings, Yue Shan had no choice.

In the previous life, there were artificial hatching eggs, and Yue Shan had tried several times with others, but all of them failed, and a lot of eggs were wasted.

He only knew the concept of "artificial hatching" of this thing, and he knew nothing about it. After trying it a few times and seeing that he had no clue, he gave up.

Anyway, the chickens produced by the hens alone are enough for them to use, and there is no need for artificial incubation.

As for the sharp increase in market demand right now, it was caused by the plague of locusts, and it will return to normal after a while, so don't pay too much attention to it.

Then he put all his thoughts on frying tea, and after another two days, he finally cooked a pot of tea that satisfied him.

After tasting that it was really not a problem with the taste, he found a bottle of tea in a glass bottle and went to the imperial city to give Li Shimin a gift.
