Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 858
In the open space in front of the tea garden, there was a row of small stoves neatly placed. The tea-frying masters invited by Lao Suntou sat in front of the stoves, flipping their palms and frying the tea leaves, which was a bit pleasing to the eye.

Zhao Lei watched the tea masters work with a smile on his face, and asked the old grandson with great anticipation: "How much do you think these teas can sell for a catty? The direct descendants of eighteen Longjing imperial tea are also the fairy gourd brand." The top-grade Longjing, how can it be sold for more than one hundred thousand catties?"

However, the old grandson didn't answer Zhao Lei's question, he just glanced at him coldly and said, "What are you doing idle, go make tea!"

Zhao Lei was surprised and said: "Since you have hired so many tea masters, why should I do it myself? Isn't it superfluous?"

The old grandson frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense, go!"

In all honesty, Zhao Lei respected this stubborn old man very much. Since the old man insisted, he could only obediently sit in front of a small stove and cook tea obediently.

Zhao Lei closed his eyes slightly, silently recalling the tricks of frying tea, then took a deep breath, grabbed a handful of green tea leaves and put them into the pot, and stir-fried the tea leaves like other tea-frying masters.

The old grandson came gently behind Zhao Lei, paying close attention to his every move, not letting go of even the smallest details.

At this time, Zhao Lei was concentrating on making tea, completely unaware that the stubborn old man was looking at him.

Zhao Lei's full attention was focused on the small iron pot, except for the flipping of his palms, the other parts remained motionless, quite like a master.The tea leaves gradually dried out under the fire, and gradually became the appearance of Longjing tea. Just when the heat was just right, Zhao Lei decisively picked up the small stove and poured the freshly roasted tea into the bamboo basket next to it.

The old grandson behind him also showed a rare smile, very satisfied with Zhao Lei's performance.Whether it's Zhao Lei's gestures to stir-fry the tea, or his control over the heat, they are all close to perfection, even he himself can't do better than Zhao Lei.

Finally, someone can perfectly inherit his tea-frying skills, which naturally makes Lao Suntou very happy.He originally planned to praise Zhao Lei, but Zhao Lei grabbed a handful of fresh tea leaves and put them into the pot, and continued to concentrate on frying the tea.

The old grandson looked at it and nodded secretly, and quietly left behind Zhao Lei, not to disturb him anymore.

At this time, Zhao Lei's attention was all on the fried tea, and he gradually entered the realm of forgetting both things and me.As time went by, miraculous things happened. Zhao Lei not only gained a deeper understanding of fried tea, but also gained some insights and insights of his own in the practice.

These tricks are not even recorded on the jade stele in the Gourd Space. Zhao Lei comprehended them all by himself. He firmly believes that if he uses the tricks he has learned in his cultivation, he can definitely increase the speed of cultivation and improve his cultivation base. One floor!

This is not to say that Zhao Lei's level of cultivation has surpassed that of Zijin Gourd's former owner, Taishang Laojun.It's just that he realized a more suitable cultivation method for him through the matter of frying tea.

After all, the journey of cultivation is ever-changing. Although the final goal is the same, the methods of cultivation are different, which is a very personal matter.Some people enter Taoism with martial arts, some use literature to enter Taoism, but Zhao Lei found a different way, and he actually learned Taoism by roasting tea.

This discovery also made Zhao Lei very happy, and secretly made up his mind that he must find time to fry more tea in the future, which would be of great help to his cultivation.With this in mind, Zhao Lei didn't rest all day long, and sat in front of the stove frying tea, carefully experiencing the mysterious feeling.

And Zhao Lei's serious attitude also made Lao Sun very satisfied. He felt that he had read the right person, and it was indeed right to teach Zhao Lei the skill of frying tea.

At the end of the day, Zhao Lei also made a lot of Longjing tea.Old Sun came over and picked up a few pieces of tea leaves, smelled them, put them into his mouth and chewed them carefully, checking the fruits of his labor.

Looking at the expressionless old grandson, Zhao Lei couldn't help asking a little nervously: "How is this tea fried?"

The stubborn old man didn't answer, but just glanced at Zhao Lei indifferently, and said calmly: "Give me a bag of two catties, and I'll take it home and drink it slowly!"

Although the old grandson didn't say a word of praise, Zhao Lei was beaming with joy.The fact that this obstinate old man who loves tea so obsessively takes two catties home to drink is enough to show how good he is at frying tea.

As for the teas made by other tea masters, Old Sun didn't even bother to look at them one by one.Just let someone make a pot of tea that has just been fried, and let everyone come and taste it.

"Looking at the green and translucent tea soup, it is already pleasing to the eye without drinking!"

"Every piece of tea leaves stands upright in the water. Good tea is good tea at first sight!"

"The fragrance of tea is melodious and refreshing, it's great!"

"This tea has only a slight bitterness on the tip of the tongue, but the aftertaste is very sweet, spreading to the throat. This tea is so good that I can't say anything!"

Experienced tea masters are basically experts in tea tasting. Several masters tasted the tea that they had just roasted, and all of them showed very surprised expressions.They all praised this is definitely a good tea, even they didn't expect that they could cook such a good Longjing tea!
Lao Suntou also took a cup of tea and tasted it slowly. After hearing what the tea-frying masters said, he also nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with everyone.

Zhao Lei also felt that the tea was really good, so he asked the stubborn old man in a low voice, "Do you think our tea can be sold on the market?"

The old grandson glanced at Zhao Lei indifferently, and said calmly: "This tea is ready, and it can be listed!"

Although Lao Suntou only had this simple eight-character comment on the fairy gourd Longjing, Zhao Lei was already very satisfied.This person is used to drinking eighteen Longjing imperial teas. Even he thinks that these teas can be released on the market, and the quality is absolutely unmistakable!
Now that the tea leaves are fried, the next step is to weigh and pack them.Zhao Lei asked someone to design the outer packaging of the fairy gourd tea long ago. They all have a uniform pattern and are divided into two types of packaging: five coins and one or two packs. You just need to weigh the tea and put it in.

Zhao Lei decided to only sell the Longjing tea roasted by tea masters. As for the tea he roasted by himself, he will not sell it to the outside world. Except for keeping a little for the guests who come to Xianhu Company, the rest will be given as gifts to relatives and friends.

Of course, Zhao Lei doesn't need to care about the packaging of the tea, as long as it is handed over to someone he can trust.With Hu Qiang and Zhou Qingsong watching, Zhao Lei was very relieved, and hurried back to the villa soon.

After frying the tea leaves for a day, Zhao Lei also gained more experience in cultivation. He can't wait to use the tricks he has learned to practice and see what kind of effect it will have.
