Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 5 Dragon Group
Since the tribute tea was produced in Jian'an, the emperor named it Beiyuan.

There are many tea mountains within a hundred miles of Jian'an, but only a few hills here in Longxi produce a kind of tea tree with natural rosin.

The first cluster of tea buds in early spring is picked by a young girl with her lips, first roasted with her breasts, and then kneaded and roasted with a secret method. The resulting Longxi Longtuan is a masterpiece of tribute tea.

The annual production is only a little bit, and from the beginning of picking to the final production, it is supervised by the people of the government. After the production is completed, it is directly sent to the capital.

It is said in the world that one tael of dragon balls and one tael of gold, but even if you have ten thousand taels of gold, you can't buy a tael of Longxi dragon balls.

As long as anyone who is in the tea business does not want to get the secret of the dragon group.

Because the interests are too heavy!
Lady Yuan cooks for the tea farmers in the morning, and for the tea workers in the tea factory at noon and evening.

Crescent Moon will also help in the tea factory.

She was young, and the people in the tea factory didn't guard against her. When she had nothing to do, no one said anything about her when she wandered around, and occasionally asked her to help, and then gave her some food.

Therefore, in Yue Yue'er's memory, the tea-making process and the pictures are well preserved.

Yue Yue'er didn't know what those pictures meant.

But Su Yue knew.

This is due to her previous life. At that time, the world she lived in was thousands of years later in this time and space, and the tea culture had spread to the whole world.

There are also many types of tea.

However, her mother had no choice but to Jian'an tea.

When my mother was still alive, when the spring tea season came, I would ask her for leave from school and take her to Jian'an, Wuyi Mountain, and places where the handmade tea art handed down from ancient times was still preserved. a week.

The foundation laid at that time, plus the picture in Yue Yue'er's mind.

Su Yue is confident that she will make the dragon ball.

Of course, the premise is that the tea green must be the first tea green in the Jian'an area.

When she said this to the young man, she thought that it would be good if the young man got some tea greens, as long as she made dragon balls and let the young man taste the sweetness, the rest of the matter would be easy.

She really didn't expect that the boy took her directly to a village that was separated from Longxi Village by more than 30 miles and surrounded by tea mountains.

There are hundreds of acres of tea gardens around Zhuangzi, and there is also a small tea factory in Zhuangzi.

It was just because the tea factory was completely at a standstill just after changing hands.

When they arrived, the tea farmers in Zhuangzi poured the freshly picked green tea directly on the ground, but no one did any follow-up processing.

Without waiting for the young man to make a sound, Su Yue jumped out of the carriage by herself, picked up a bunch of tea greens from the ground, put them in the sun-dried bamboo strips, and started to work.

After watching for a while, the young man asked his two attendants to stare at the servants to attack Su Yue, and left by himself.

Three days later, when the boy returned to Zhuangzi, Su Yue had already roasted a batch of tea and was in the process of re-roasting.

In modern times, when my mother chatted with the tea workers, they all talked about the famous dragon ball in history, and they were very yearning for it.

After traveling here in her previous life, she was favored by the emperor, who also gave her a dragon ball, so she had tasted the dragon ball.

Comparing the two, we can know that Long Tuan is actually the predecessor of later oolong tea, and the taste is clearer than oolong tea.

Coupled with the comparison of those pictures, we also know that the secret of this tea lies in kneading green tea and roasting it with fire.

Rebaking is the most important step.

The final taste of tea depends on this.

The temperature of the fire, the time of baking, and the timing of flipping are all very important.

Not daring to relax for a while, Su Yue sat on the small bench, staring at the fire intently, reaching out to touch the temperature of the tea from time to time.

She didn't even notice that the boy was standing behind her.

It wasn't until a slender joint, Baiying Shengyu's hand crossed her shoulder, imitating her gestures and flipping the tea leaves on the bamboo strips, that she was surprised that there was a person behind her.

Seeing the little girl startled, and then staring at a pair of round bloodshot eyes, like rabbit eyes, the boy unconsciously smiled.

In that eye, he picked up a handful of tea leaves under his nose, sniffed them, nodded and said, "It smells a little similar, but I don't know how to brew it?"

"Not yet, it will take about half an hour." Su Yue replied, then turned her head and continued to stare at Huohou.

In her previous life, she had baked tea (every year), but she hadn't done it for many years (in her previous life), and the feeling of heat hadn't fully recovered, so she could only stare at it like this.

Three days and three nights, just the last hour (one hour and two hours), absolutely must not fall short.

The young man lowered his head and looked at her who was obviously exhausted to the extreme, but the light in her eyes was as bright as a furnace fire.

He squeezed the tea leaves with his fingers and rubbed them, and said calmly: "The people of Longxi Village only picked up your mother's bones from the ashes."

Su Yue was startled, and turned her head abruptly.

The corner of the boy's lips curled up, and the crushed tea dust fell from between his fingers, and he said in a calm voice: "Your uncle and aunt are very lucky, they escaped after being burnt to death."

A look of hatred flashed in Su Yue's eyes, she bit her lip and looked at the boy.

The boy didn't say anything, just looked down at her with interest.

Taking a long breath, Su Yue turned her head and continued to turn over the tea leaves on the bamboo strips. After flipping a few times, her trembling hands gradually calmed down.

"Long Tuan must be the most sunny tea tree on the mountainside, and the first and most tender tea greens are picked to make it. Moreover, not many people can afford it." There was still blood in Su Yue's voice. Already calmed down: "There are not many tea trees in your tea garden that can produce dragon balls, but the other tea trees are not short. Even the tea trees that produce dragon balls can be picked at least four times a year. Cha Qing, it would be a bit of a waste if we only make dragon balls."

"Oh?" The young man responded leisurely.

Su Yue gritted her teeth, and continued: "My mother was born in Quanzhou, there are sea ships going to Fanwai, and tea is sold very well in Fanwai."

"I know that, those teas can be made by any tea worker." The young man laughed.

"Really?" Su Yue also chuckled lightly, and said, "But, only I can make tea that will not rot or change its taste even if it travels across the ocean, and even if it is thousands of miles away, there will be no tea. Waste and wastage, you can also sell high-priced tea."

The boy's brows raised unconsciously, and he let out a soft oh, waiting for Su Yue to continue.

Su Yue raised her head and smiled and said, "I don't know, how is my uncle and aunt doing now?"

"Ha!" The boy raised his eyebrows and laughed, Shu Er's face darkened, and he said angrily: "You threaten me?"

Su Yue lowered her head, turned back to look at the fire, avoided his mighty eyes, and said indifferently: "No, I just want to know that what I pay may get an equal price."
