i have a small world

"Wen Hai, this time you go to Anxi City, you have to listen to your brother Chao Gang. If I know that you are disobedient and make troubles everywhere, I will not spare you. Do you hear me?"

Godmother Zhao Meiqin was lecturing, but how could Zhao Wenhai, who couldn't wait to play in Anxi City, listen to these words, but Zhao Wenhai also knew that if he answered badly, his mother's hands would not So, Zhao Wenhai immediately replied: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely listen to Brother Chao Gang carefully. If I am not obedient, then I will let my mother beat you, and I will not say anything."

"In this way, mother, I can rest assured." The voice of the godmother was a little choked up. After so many years, it was the first time that her son left her to go so far away. Although Chao Gang was there, Zhao Meiqin still felt very reluctant.

"Chao Gang, Wen Hai will be handed over to you this time. You have to manage him well. If he dares to play tricks, just beat him up. Don't worry about what the godmother will say. It's time to suffer."

"Godmother, don't worry, I can understand it. Actually, godmother, as I said, you will also go to Anxi City. In this case, you don't have to worry about it. You can live as long as you want with your godson, Pingping her I wish you could live with me permanently."

Zhao Chaogang began to comfort his godmother, thinking about when he went to university in Anxi City ten years ago, his mother looked the same, and when she sent him to the entrance of the village, her mother's eyes at that time were the same. It was red, and after I got in the car and left, my mother stood at the gate of the village until I couldn't see the shadow of the car I was riding in, and then went home.

Every parent will care about their children in this way when their children are away from home. The love of parents is the greatest!
"It's fine to go to Anxi City. There are so many things in the house, how can the godmother let go, and the second tea is about to be picked, how can the godmother go away. Chao Gang, from now on Wenhai will be handed over to you. Mom is getting old, and you don't see things as far and wide as Chao Gang, you can see clearly, Wen Hai, you have to take care of me from now on."

"Don't worry, godmother, I will definitely teach Wenhai well. This time I go to Anxi City, I am going to let Wenhai go to my restaurant to work and study, to exercise Wenhai's ability to survive, let Wenhai know the hard work, and also let Wenhai know how hard it is to work. Wen Hai has gained knowledge and a better understanding of society. After Wen Hai has been trained in this way, Wen Hai will make great progress in learning and dealing with people in the future. Godmother, what do you think?"

Zhao Chaogang really had such a plan. This time, Zhao Chaogang would not only let Zhao Wenhai work in the restaurant during the summer vacation, but even after Zhao Wenhai went to university, he would also get to work in the restaurant on weekends and weekends.

In this way, in less than half a year, Wen Hai's immature and exaggerated aura of students will disappear, and he will keep reminding Wen Hai that there is absolutely no problem for Wen Hai to become a talent in the future.

"Okay, okay, that's good, then the godmother can rest assured." Zhao Meiqin was very satisfied with Zhao Chaogang's arrangement, and she believed that under Chao Gang's training, her son would definitely become a talent in the future.

"Godmother, is this the time to pick the second course of tea? Why didn't my parents tell me?"

Picking tea in Zhao Chaogang’s hometown is divided into three major stages and six small stages, spring tea (Mingqian tea, Yuqian tea, Yidao tea), summer tea (Erdao tea, Sandao tea) and autumn tea.

The division of spring tea, summer tea and autumn tea is mainly based on seasonal changes and the intervals of new shoot growth of tea trees.

Under China's climatic conditions, except for a few areas in South China tea areas, in most tea producing areas, tea tree growth and tea picking have seasonal surnames: the tea picking period in Jiangbei tea area is from early May to late September, and in Jiangnan tea area. The tea picking period in the region is from late March to mid-October, and the tea picking period in the southwest tea area is from late January to early December.

Tea regions belonging to subtropical and temperate regions, including Jiangbei tea region, Jiangnan tea region and Southwest tea region, are usually divided into four seasons of spring, summer, summer and autumn according to the harvesting time.But the division standard of seasonal tea is inconsistent.

Some are divided by solar term: Qingming to Xiaoman is spring tea, Xiaoman to Xiaoshu is summer tea, and Xiaoshu to Cold Dew is autumn tea; Summer tea is picked and processed, and autumn tea is picked after mid-July.

Of course, the best tea is spring tea. Spring tea, especially early spring tea, is often the best quality green tea in a year. Therefore, many high-end famous green teas, such as West Lake Longjing, Quancheng Red, Quancheng Green, Dongting Biluochun , Huangshan Maofeng, Lushan Yunwu, etc., are all in the early stage of spring tea picking, and the best spring teas are Mingqian tea and Yuqian tea.

Mingqian tea: The tea picked before the Qingming Festival is less infested by insects, with tender buds and leaves, green and fragrant color, mellow taste and beautiful shape. It is a good tea.At the same time, because the temperature before Qingming is generally low, the number of germination is limited, the growth rate is slow, and the yield that can meet the picking standard is very small, so there is a saying that "tea before Ming Dynasty is as expensive as gold".

Quality characteristics of Mingqian tea: Tea culture experts said that in the Jiangnan tea area, after a long winter, the nutrients in the tea tree are fully accumulated. In addition, the temperature in early spring is low, and the tea tree grows slowly, and the bud quality at this time is better.

The content of amino acids in Mingqian tea is higher than that of later teas, while the tea polyphenols with a bitter taste are relatively low. At this time, the tea tastes fragrant and mellow.In addition, tea before Qingming is less polluted by pesticides, especially early spring tea, which is the best quality green tea in a year, so many high-grade teas picked before Qingming are especially favored by tea lovers.

Mingqian tea selection:

Appearance: green and fresh, with oily luster, many pekoe, flat and straight shape, and the tip is not curved.The dry tea has a pure aroma.

Leaf bottom: The tea fragrance is natural and delicate, elegant and elegant.The whole leaf is light green and emerald green, and the shape is neat.

Brewing: soup color is green or clear yellow.The taste is fresh and exciting, with a fresh and refreshing feeling.

Yuqian tea: Yuqian, that is, before Grain Rain, that is, from April 4th to around April 5st, the tea made from tender bud tips is called Yuqian tea.Although Yuqian tea is not as tender as Mingqian tea (tea picked before Qingming), due to the high temperature at this time, the buds and leaves grow relatively faster and the accumulated contents are richer, so Yuqian tea is often fresh and strong. Bubble resistant.

Xu Cishu in the Ming Dynasty said in "Tea Book" when talking about the tea-picking season: "Qingming is too early, Lixia is too late, and the time is right before and after Grain Rain."

For the common stir-fried green tea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after Qingming and before Grain Rain, it is indeed the most suitable season for picking spring tea.It is said that in terms of time, Mingqian tea is the best tea, and Yuqian tea is the best tea.

Quality characteristics of Yuqian tea: During the dry season from October to the end of May of the next year, spring rains will fall around the first ten days of April. The tea greens picked before that are called "Yuqian tea".Due to climate factors, low temperature and less rainfall, "Yuqiancha" is characterized by thin and short leaves, fragrant, ambiguous and slightly bitter, strong and heavy in quality.

Summer tea, because it is picked and processed in the hot season, although the new shoots of tea trees grow rapidly, there is a saying that "tea grows thick overnight in Lixia", but it is easy to age.The content of amino acids and vitamins in tea is significantly reduced, and the use of summer tea can significantly increase the content of anthocyanins, caffeine, and tea polyphenols, making the taste appear bitter.

The climate in autumn is between spring and summer. Although the climate is relatively mild in the later stage of autumn tea, the rainfall is often insufficient, which will make the picked tea appear relatively dry.Especially after harvesting spring tea and summer tea, tea trees lack nutrition in the body. Therefore, the content of tea leaves is poor. In this case, not only the taste of the tea is weak, but also the aroma is not high The leaves are yellowish.The so-called "be delicious, Qiu Bailu" actually refers to the "mild taste" of tea leaves.

The second type of tea mentioned by Zhao Chaogang’s godmother just now is summer tea, and the price of summer tea in the countryside is also very high. Most of the tea left at home is autumn tea.

The quantity of summer tea is large and the price is reasonable. Of course, tea growers will not miss such a good opportunity.
"You haven't picked tea leaves for fifteen or sixteen years. Of course you don't remember when you picked tea leaves. The village just informed you that you will start picking Erdao tea the day after tomorrow, and you don't know what happened this year. Erdao The tea leaves of Yuqian tea are almost the same as that of Yuqian tea. The price of green tea (fresh tea) bought by the tea factory in the village is about the same as that of Yuqian tea, which is three yuan per catty (the price of tea in my hometown is actually lower. ), such a high price, how can your godmother have time to go to Anxi City."

"Really, this price is indeed okay, but isn't it better this way, everyone will make more money, and life in the village will get better and better in the future, don't you think, godmother?!"

Of course Zhao Chaogang knew why the tea leaves were so good this year, and it wasn't because of the aura emanating from the spirit gathering array in Kuaiji Mountain and the small stone valley in the village. With the nourishment of aura, the crops in the village would of course grow It's getting better and better, and the quality is getting higher and higher.

"Yeah, that's the truth, Chao Gang, when it comes to tea, the godmother left you some Mingqian tea that your little sister made by herself a while ago. Originally, the godmother wanted to bring it to you when you left tomorrow, but, I can give it to you now, godmother will take it for you, and you can take it to Anxi City to drink. Although there is no brand, it will definitely not be inferior to those famous teas sold in the outside market. I believe Chao Gang, you are also aware of this. The way inside."

The godmother quickly took out a large bag of tea. Zhao Chaogang saw that it must be about five catties. It must not take a week to make such five catties of tea leaves before Mingqian. This made Zhao Chaogang feel warm inside. , Godmother really loves him! (To be continued.)
