"996, sign in!"
996: "Successful sign-in, experience +2, congratulations to the host for obtaining a set of azure Ru kiln tea set from the Northern Song Dynasty, 250g of premium white silver needles, which have been placed in the storage cabinet in the host's car."
"This is already my second set of tea sets! Hehe, for my future tea room, 996, you really worked hard!"
Wang Anan was very happy to get the tea set. In the future, when his tea room is opened, he will definitely use many different tea sets.
Wang An'an doesn't know how to grow tea, but he picked tea when he was a child.
I still remember when I was seven or eight years old, Anji white tea was not widely grown at that time.
Grandpa and grandma grow high mountain green tea on the high mountain. They grow and pick themselves, and they will make a cup when they are slack or when guests come.
Little An An and her two-year-old cousin always like to run up the mountain.
In places with high altitudes, tea leaves ripen late, and tea leaves are not available for picking until after the Qingming Festival every year.
At this time, grandma will give An An and her cousin a small basket, and take them up the mountain to pick tea leaves.
Grasp the branch of tea leaves with one hand, the thumb of the other hand is on the top, the middle joint of the index finger is on the bottom (just like the gesture when pulling a rope), two fingers catch the fresh shoots, use force with the wrist, and move upwards break off.
The fresh tea leaves are picked, and this method of picking is not only less likely to damage the tea tree, but also better protects fingers.
In Wang Anan's memory, his grandma taught him these things, and the tea leaves that he picked with his cousin would be sold to grandma!
After picking the tea and returning home, grandma would take out an old-fashioned hook and weigh the two teas together with the basket.
After the fresh tea leaves were poured into the pile of tea leaves, the basket was weighed again, and after the weight of the basket was removed, they were paid [-] cents a catty in cash to the two.
Wang Anan and his cousin were the same at that time, and neither had much pocket money, so the income from picking tea was a rare income for the two of them.
At that time, Wang Anan liked to spend half of her money on small snacks, and put the other half into her yellow plastic piggy bank.
The cousin and Wang Anan have completely opposite personalities, and the elder sister likes to spend all her gains at once.
Why is there such a discrepancy?Wang An'an couldn't remember clearly, but felt that there was a reason.
If the elder sister has money, the uncle and aunt will not entrust the money to the elder sister for safekeeping, but will find some reason to take the money from the elder sister and keep it for the elder sister.
Of course, everyone can also know the final outcome. As long as the money is kept by the parents, it is tantamount to disappearing.
Let’s talk about the tea leaves. After the fresh tea leaves are picked, grandparents will fry them overnight. There are many processes, so sometimes it takes an entire night.
The picked tea leaves are first poured into the hot earthen stove iron pot, and grandpa will put on a pair of white worker's gloves and stir fry for a while.
When the tea leaves are a little wilted, they are taken out of the pot and placed in a bamboo dustpan to dry the tea. The dustpan is handmade by the bamboo strippers in the village. One can be used for many years, and even if it is broken, it can be repaired and continued to be used.
When the tea leaves are not so hot, they start to knead the tea, knead and knead, knead and knead. When the tea leaves become tea balls one by one, after the tea juice and leaves are mixed, they continue to be put into the pot for frying.
After repeating this several times, the tea leaves become more and more fragrant, and the moisture in the leaves becomes less and less. Finally, they are slowly dried on a low fire.
The black and ugly handmade tea is finished.
It was at this time that Wang Anan became attached to tea.
Thinking about his new tea set, Wang Anan couldn't wait to share it with Shen Menglan.
"Lanlan, I suddenly remembered that I still have a tea set in the car. When I get it, I'll make you another pot of good tea."
After finishing speaking, she disappeared at the door before Shen Menglan could respond.
When Wang Anan came back, he only had the white silver needle given by 996 in his hand.
It turned out that this tea set was stuffed in a solid wood box by 996, which is super invincible and heavy!With Wang An'an's strength, he could only carry it, but he couldn't walk.
In desperation, I had to ask the hotel staff for help.
"Let it go, let it go~"
"I have porcelain inside, slow down, put some inside, don't fall."
Under Wang An'an's command, things were finally arranged.
After thanking the staff, Wang Anan went to wash his hands well.
unboxing!
After Wang An'an arranged the whole tea set, Shen Menglan was overwhelmed by the simplicity of the tea set.
!!!
"An'an, your tea set...it looks so good! I can't think of words to describe it!
It's so simple!There is no complicated shape, but it feels so strange to me!Super catches my eye!Is there something magical about it? "
"Isn't it nice? This is my meticulous collection! How about a dip for you?"
"Uh-huh!"
Shen Menglan obediently sat opposite Wang Anan, waiting for Wang Anan to start.
"I'm going to boil the water first..."
Before Wang An'an started, Shen Menglan had already started taking pictures with her mobile phone.
"Your tea set is so pretty, I'll take a few pictures to satisfy my dad."
"This is a porcelain tea set, which is just right for brewing silver needles. It's really cheap for you."
Wang Anan took out two teacups and gaiwan, and put them in the tea washing inner warming utensil.
Put about 5 grams of pekoe silver needles directly into the tureen while the cup is still warm.
"I use the infiltration method. The spiral water injection can completely soak the silver needles in the water. The soup will be ready in about 30 seconds."
About 30 seconds later, Wang Anan poured the first brewed tea into a sea bowl, also called a fair cup, which is a cup used before serving tea to guests.
"Generally speaking, a tea strainer is used when pouring into a sea bowl, but because of the special nature of Baihao Yinzhen, I just pour it for you."
Take the sea bowl and pour a glass for Shen Menglan first, until it is [-]% full, then pour yourself a glass.Customers first, hosts first, seniors first, young ones, this is the rule of pouring tea.
"Let me take a picture before drinking!"
"Hurry up and drink, there will be plenty of time for you to take pictures later."
Shen Menglan usually drinks Baihao Yinzhen the most, so she has a deep enough understanding of Baihao Yinzhen.
"The scent of the dried mushrooms blowing in the face is absolutely amazing!
Hmm~ sweet!Still fresh!I'll just say it!I like Fuding white tea the most!It's so delicious! !
Ann!What are your prospects for this tea? "
"Tea? Looking forward?" Wang Anan was a little confused.
But he also reacted quickly.
"Do you want some? I can give you one or two, not much."
"Good Le!"
[I used to be unable to extricate myself from the size of the world, and I was also addicted to it in my dreams...]
Shen Menglan's cell phone rang suddenly, and Shen Menglan didn't shy away from Wang Anan, and directly turned on the speaker.
"Hi! Dad?"
"Baby girl~ where are you now?"
"I'm playing outside! Are you interested in my tea?"
"How is it possible? What can be more important than my baby girl? I just care about you. Look, you haven't called me these days when you go out to play."
"Don't you know why I didn't call you?"
"Hey, girl, it's good for you to go to relax, figure it out, take over your father's stall, and do whatever you want in the future, how wonderful!
This...that...the tea leaves you sent me..."
"Okay! I know you, Comrade Shen, you don't care about me at all, you only care about tea leaves! I'm going to be angry!"
"Oh~ Don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll give you a surprise when you come back!"
"That's fine."
Seeing Shen Menglan's smiling but reluctant tone, Wang Anan couldn't help snickering twice.
