I'm a marquis in Datang

Chapter 11 The Bite of the Tongue

Tongue enjoyment

After Du Qi finished all his work, it was already evening, and the sky was getting dark.It's just that Du Qi knows that if the tea bought today is not roasted overnight and waited until the next day, the taste will change and the original taste will be lost.

He set up a pot in the yard, asked Liu Jian to add firewood, and prepared to fry overnight.

At this time, Du Qi made a cup of tea.

It is directly brewed with boiled water with freshly bought tea leaves.Although this kind of tea has a bit of bitterness, it has a fragrance of tea itself, which has endless aftertaste.

Du Qi took a sip, felt the taste of the tea itself, and said with emotion: "This tea is still delicious and comfortable!"

Liu Jian imitated Du Qi and made a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he frowned and said, "My lord, this freshly picked tea is brewed in boiling water. It's very bitter and tasteless. It's too boring to drink. "

Du Qi said: "You drink tea like a cow drinks water, you can't drink it."

After a pause, Du Qi said: "The frying pan has been set up, add more firewood for me."

"Yes!"

Liu Jian complied as he said, and quickly lit the fire.

As the fire became stronger, the temperature in the pot gradually increased.Although Du Qi said that he had a clear tea-frying process in his mind, in fact, he had never operated it before, and could only cross the river by feeling the stones.

At the beginning, Du Qi poured a little tea into the country for stir-frying.

Du Qi started to stir-fry the tea leaves, not with the palm of his hand. After all, he is not familiar with it. Once he directly uses his hands, it is easy to hurt his hands.Therefore, Du Qi made a fried tea broom out of moso bamboo, which was about three feet long.

Such a frying tea broom can be quickly rotated and stirred in the pot, so that the tea leaves are continuously rotated and turned, and the water in the tea leaves is evaporated.After a while, the tea leaves gradually softened, and the color changed from green to dark green.

At this stage, Du Qi asked Liu Jian to lower the temperature. With the removal of the open flame, the temperature in the pot began to drop.At this time, the tea-frying was still going on. After Du Qi got acquainted with it a little, he removed the tea-frying broom and quickly kneaded the tea with his hands, making the tea leaves form quickly.

The humidity of the tea leaves is further dried.

After the first pot of tea leaves are fried, they are temporarily set aside.

At this time, Du Qi made a cup of tea himself.After the tea is fried and broken, the taste is more intense.The tea has more fragrance and less bitterness.tea

The entrance is the real enjoyment of the tip of the tongue.

However, Du Qi also knew that the tea he roasted was very different from the tea made by real tea masters in later generations.After all, he is not a professional, but compared to tea soup with mixed flavors, Du Qi likes this kind of tea.

The taste is fresh and natural, refined and extraordinary.

There is a hint of bitterness.

But the aftertaste is endless, people can indulge in it.

With experience in frying tea, Du Qi gradually increased the amount of frying.By the time he finished frying all the one hundred catties of tea leaves, it was already past midnight, and Du Qi's whole body was already suffering from sore backs.After all, frying a hundred catties of tea leaves is not an easy job.But looking at all the tea leaves out of the pot, Du Qi also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

With these tea leaves, enough to drink.

Moreover, he has roasted so many times now, and he is familiar with the process of roasting tea, so he can look for opportunities to promote his tea.

This is the business opportunity that Du Qi is aiming at.

But nowadays, fried tea is mainly popular, and Du Qi will directly take out the current fried tea, and no one will care about it.To promote the tea in your hands, you need to work from top to bottom, and more importantly, you need to form a trend, so that you have the opportunity to make money.

This requires Du Qi to take precautions.

Du Qi stretched his waist and asked Liu Jian to rub his shoulders and waist before letting Liu Jian go down to rest.At this time, Du Qi went back to his room to rest.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Du Qi got up in the morning, he drank a cup of tea and felt refreshed.Compared with the so-called tea soup, he now prefers this tea with endless aftertaste.

In Du Qi's mind, he was still thinking about promoting tea.

To make money, you have to promote tea.

After thinking about it for a while, Du Qi had an idea in his heart, so he went straight to Du Ruhui's study.Now in the morning, Du Ruhui has not gone to Prince Qin's mansion, and is still at the mansion.

After Du Qi entered, seeing Du Ruhui, he bowed and said, "Father!"

Du Ruhui's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I heard that father, you took two pennies from the tent yesterday, but went to West Market to buy a hundred catties of tea. Is there such a thing?"

Du Qidao: "Nothing can be hidden from my father's eyes."

Du Ruhui said in a deep voice: "There are specially made tea cakes in the house, so you don't need to buy tea leaves. What's more, you are getting more and more courageous by withdrawing two pennies from the account under the guise of buying tea leaves. "

Du Qi looked calm and explained: "Father, the son has withdrawn two pieces of money,

It was my mother's arrangement.The son wanted to buy some utensils and some tea, so the mother gave two pieces of money. "

Du Ruhui's cheeks twitched.

He secretly said that his usual pocket money, which is a few tens of pennies, has never had two pennies.One mouthful of this evil animal is two pennies, the gap is really too big.

People are more mad than people.

Du Ruhui didn't show the slightest expression on his face, but said: "Since your mother agrees, you should do things well and don't let down your mother's expectations. Otherwise, I will make you look good."

Du Qidao: "The son remembers his father's teachings."

Du Ruhui said: "What else?"

Du Qidao: "Reporting to my father, my son has something, I implore my father to comment."

When Du Ruhui heard this, he immediately became interested.He leaned forward slightly, and said, "What is it, take it out and show it to my father. If it's good, my father will naturally praise it."

Du Qi took out a small bag of tea leaves from his sleeve, then took the tea bowl by himself, brewed a cup of roasted tea leaves for Du Ruhui with boiling water, put it in front of Du Ruhui, waved his hands and said, "Please father to taste one or two."

"That's it?"

Du Ruhui was stunned.

When he looked at Du Qi, there was a look of astonishment on his face, and he thought to himself, could this rebellious son come here to amuse him?

He actually gave him such tea to drink.

Du Qidao: "Father, let's take a light sniff first, then take a sip, and then you will know how it tastes."

Du Ruhui saw Du Qi's swearing, especially Du Qi didn't like to lie.Du Ruhui brought the tea bowl in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and took a sniff. Suddenly, a faint scent of tea filled his nostrils.

The whole person, the spirit is lifted.

Du Ruhui often drank tea, but he drank sencha, the tea soup was rich and full of flavor.But the tea in front of me has a faint fragrance, which is very comfortable.Du Ruhui picked up the tea bowl, blew on the tea leaves standing on the surface, and took a sip.
