Chapter 449: Top good tea

In fact, it has been nearly four o'clock now, and Li Shifu can still rest for an hour and a half.
Xia Ruofei is really a real experience of the complicated process of hand-made tea, especially if those key processes are completed by one person, it is quite hard.
Ye Lingyun directly hit the floor in Li Zhifu's room, and Xia Ruofei returned to the car, put the rear seat down, and sleep with the clothes.
He felt as if he had just closed his eyes, and the alarm clock rang. In fact, the hours of sleep, the sleep is very shallow.
Xia Ruofei sat up with a bone and looked out through the window. The room where Li Zhifu rested had already lit the lights, and Xia Ruofei quickly pushed the door and jumped out of the car.
After more than an hour of rest, and the effect of the spiritual flower petal solution, Li Zhifu seems to be very full of spirits, and is directing Ye Lingyun to move the water screen out.
Yang Shugen had already pulled a wire in the yard and hung a large 200-watt bulb, and the yard was suddenly bright.
Xia Ruofei also went forward and saw Li Zhifu carefully review the tea green under the light. After a long time, he satisfied his place and nodded and said: "The process of doing green is perfect! Now the tea green is already in the state of three red and seven green!"
Li Zhifu saw Xia Ruofei's confused look and explained with a smile: "Three red and seven greens are our terminology. After the tea green has been shaken and greened, the edge of the blade will be rubbed and collided, and the damaged part will be oxidized. Dark red, and at this stage, the three-point red seven-point green is the best."
Xia Ruofei revealed the expression of the teaching: "Mr. Li Lao, this ancient method of tea is too much attention!"
Li Zhifu said with a smile: "Where is this? Dahongpao has more than a dozen procedures, and every procedure has a lot of attention. If it is not Master's hands-on teaching, every day, hard work and hard training, even smart people can't learn!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said: "Yes! I don't know, I look at it... It's all the doorway! Mr. Li, Lingyun is following you, and I have to ask you a lot of trouble..."
"Don't worry! Since I have accepted him as an apprentice, I will do my best!" Li Zhifu said faintly. "There are not many people who are willing to learn this traditional tea craft. I don't think it is meaningful to leave a hand. Don't go into the coffin!"
Ye Lingyun said quickly: "Master, you are in good health! Don't say this is unlucky!"
Li Zhifu looked at Ye Lingyun's eyes with unconcealed love. He smiled kindly and said: "Okay, don't gossip, start working!"
The next step is to stir up the green. Yang Shugen has already prepared the iron pot, but the step of firing is the fire that Li Zhifu personally does. It is definitely not a fake hand.
After the pot was hot, Li Zhifu poured the fermented tea into the wok, and then began to stir-fry.
His gestures were also very strange. Tea green flipped up and down under his stirring. The moisture of the tea leaves evaporated quickly. The fermentation process was artificially stopped. The essence of tea juice was completely preserved in this program.
Slowly, the tea green in the iron pan began to emit silk water vapor, and the temperature of the iron pan began to rise. Li Zhifu began to use two and a half moon-shaped wooden tea pots, first slightly shaking one or two, emitting parts Moisture and volatile green gas, then the double-tea simmer caught in the green leaves.
After a while, tea green can almost go out of the pot, Li Zhifu slightly shakes the tea pot, so that the tea green evenly scattered water, and after a few fry, the tea green all out of the pot.
Li Zhifu couldn't even rest in one breath, and immediately began the embarrassing process.
It is also purely handmade. The action is a bit like washing clothes. Li Zhifu pushes the fried green leaves in the sieve and pushes it back and forth until the leaf juice flows out in a large amount, and it is rolled into a strip, and it is fragrant and fragrant.
Then, Li Zhifu went to the pot to re-sauté the tea. The process was very short, about half a minute. Just flip the number and take it out again. The tea time is also shorter than the first time.
From the beginning of the green to the simmering, re-selling, and reclamation, the whole process is about half an hour.
However, the workload is still very large. Li Zhifu has not stopped for almost a moment, and he is sweating after he finishes.
Xia Ruofei quickly handed over the "nutrition solution" that had already been prepared.
Li Zhifu took the small porcelain bottle and took a few mouthfuls to drink the solution of the spiritual flower petals inside. Then he said with a mouth: "Root, is the baking room ready?"
"Master, get ready!" Yang Shugen said quickly.
"Start to bake water!" Li Zhifu said decisively.
"Ok!"
When he came to the baking room, Li Zhifu evenly placed the fried tea in a roasting cage made of narrow waist, and then began to make fire in the roasting cave and add charcoal.
The heat of this process is also very crucial. Li Zhifu has been doing tea for decades. The reason why he is famous for it is because the baking heat is so good that he is in the process of operation. Ye Lingyun and Yang Shugen are intent on it. Staring at it, for fear of missing a certain detail.
The charcoal in the roasting cave soon began to turn red, and Xia Ruofei could feel the heat wave in the room.
Li Zhifu carefully felt it, adjusted the position of charcoal several times, and then evenly sprinkled grass ash on it. This is also the unique skill of Li Zhifu. The temperature of the broth can be controlled by the ash, and the heat is more evenly distributed.
After several adjustments, Li Zhifu finally nodded.
Ye Lingyun and Yang Shugen worked together to lift the roasting cage and put it on the roasting cave.
The doors and windows of the whole roasting room are tightly closed, and the water can only pass through the cracks in the roof. Therefore, the house is very stuffy, but Li Zhifu still keeps the front of the roasting cage at all times, and observes the state of the tea at all times. Stired several times.
After almost fifteen to twenty minutes, the water bake was successfully completed.
After the tea was baked, Li Zhifu asked Ye Lingyun to pour the tea into the arc, and then personally used the yang to remove the yellow pieces, pieces, tea leaves and other inclusions, then spread the tea and then moved it to the outside stand. .
After personally inspecting, Li Zhifu said with a sigh of relief: "Xiao Xia, now it takes about five hours to dry, let's go to rest!"
Xia Ruofei knew that Li Zhifu had no chance to close his eyes all night. Although there were several hours of space in the middle, the old man’s sleep was very shallow. Li Zhifu had two sleeps and said it!
He quickly said: "Okay, Mr. Li Lao, it is really hard for you! You have to go to rest for a while!"
Xia Ruofei did not rest himself, so after he sent Li Zhifu to the door of the room, he quickly lie down in the car.
This sleep until about 11 o'clock noon, Xia Ruofei refreshed, took out the standing travel wash bag from the trunk, and went to the faucet in the yard to simply wash it.
Li Zhifu has already got up at this time. He is checking the state of the tea on the green shelf.
Xia Ruofei quickly said hello: "Mr. Li Lao, how is the rest?"
Li Zhifu said with a smile: "It's okay, sleep for a while. Xiaoxia, the process of making tea by hand has been completed for more than half, and the last few steps are still possible, and it will be done before noon!"
"You have worked hard!" Xia Ruofei said sincerely.
Xia Ruofei’s words are from the heart, knowing that this is a 90-year-old man! I almost got an all night last night!
Li Zhifu smiled and waved his hand and said: "I don't work hard, not so hard, such a good tea, I like it, I don't feel tired at all!"
Next, Li Zhifu asked Ye Lingyun and Yang Shugen to carry the tea leaves into the baking room and began the finishing process of re-baking and stir-frying.
Around eleven and a half, Dahongpao's Maocha was finally made successfully!
Yang Shugen found an electronic scale and said it, a total of one or two pounds.
However, the entire production process has not been completed.
After simply eating some lunch at the small tea factory in Yang Shugen, Li Zhifu began to refine the tea.
This is a more complicated process, including the process of initial picking, sorting, re-picking, wind selection, initial baking, and homogenization. After Li Zhifu's personal refinement, the final finished Dahongpao is finally presented to everyone.
I saw that the Dahongpao tea leaves were strong and even, dark brown and lustrous with a lush, close to the smell of a very rich tea, which made people feel refreshed.
Ye Lingyun and Yang Shugen both showed the color of worship and looked at Li Zhifu.
Li Zhifu looked at the finished Dahongpao, which was only about one kilogram away. He couldn’t help but reveal a very satisfied look. He smiled and said: "Xiaoxia, the fresh leaves you provide are really of high quality! I have been this for many years. Tea making is the most satisfying. You see that this cable is quite tight and strong, and the color is quite pure. It also carries such obvious treasure, which is not bad..."
Xia Ruofei said happily: "Mr. Li Lao, this is your skill. Otherwise, even if it is the best tea, it is impossible to make tea of ​​this quality."
In the aspect of making tea, Li Zhifu was not humble. He smiled and nodded and said, "How about, let's try this tea!"
Xia Ruofei immediately said: "Okay!"
The appearance of the tea is no better, the final quality is still to be implemented in the taste, only a bubble, after the product is known.
Ye Lingyun and Yang Shugen are naturally full of expectations, and Yang Shugen quickly moved to a full set of tea sets.
Li Zhifu said: "Root, you should first find a tea pot to help Xiaoxia seal the tea!"
"okay!"
Yang Shugen was originally a tea factory. The tea pot is naturally lacking. He quickly took a pound of clothes and carefully put the Dahongpao made by Li Zhifu into the tea pot carefully and sealed it tightly. .
Li Zhifu put about a bubble of tea leaves that Yang Shugen deliberately left in the teapot. This teapot seems to be a bit old, and the purple light is bright. It should be used by Yang Shugen for tea.
After the spring water was boiled, Li Zhifu poured the water into the teapot, and the tea in the room suddenly floated. Everyone had a bright eye. This tea is really fragrant!
Li Zhifu put the kettle down, immediately picked up the teapot and dumped the tea soup inside. Dahongpao also wants to wash the tea, but the brewing process is extremely short, and does not need to wait for a few seconds like Tieguanyin.
Then Li Zhifu poured into the spring water that was still boiling. After standing for about ten seconds, he poured it into the smelling cup in front of everyone.
When the tea soup was poured into the smelling cup, Yang Shugen suddenly turned his eyes and said with joy: "The tea is clear and clear! Good tea!"
Xia Ruofei fixed his eyes and saw that the tea soup in the fragrant cup in front of him was dark orange and very clear and translucent.
Li Zhifu smiled slightly, poured the tea in the smelling cup into another tea cup, then picked up the smelling cup, gently rubbed his hands, then put the smelling cup into the nose, and closed his eyes slightly. Take a deep breath...
Xia Ruofei also had a kind of learning. He learned that Li Zhifu’s movements smelled the smell of tea. He couldn’t say where it was, and he felt that the fragrance was refreshing, as if the whole person was in spirit.
"Clean and secluded! Back to the fragrance! Good tea!" Li Zhifu said excitedly.
Then, Li Zhifu put down the Wenxiang Cup and finally picked up the tea cup. Yang Shugen and Ye Lingyun were not rookies. The tea set was quite skilled. After picking the incense, he picked up the tea cup.
Xia Ruofei also learned that everyone has picked up the cup.
Smell the full room of tea, Xia Ruofei's mood seems to have become calm, the eyes involuntarily reveal the appreciation, playful color, he slowly inhaled the tea soup, and then slowly swallowed.
Xia Ruofei suddenly felt the mellow, sweet taste reverberating between the teeth, could not help but reveal the expression of enjoyment.
Li Zhifu opened his eyes and smiled and asked: "Little summer, how is it?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Mr. Li Lao, I am a layman, but I feel that the taste of this tea soup is very mellow, and at the same time it carries a very attractive fragrance. There is also a kind of unspeakable charm. Inside..."
Yang Shugen immediately said: "Yan Yun! Master, this Dahongpao rock rhyme is very obvious, it is really good tea!"
Li Zhifu smiled and nodded and said: "The roots are right, Xiao Xia, you can taste the fragrance of the rock, which shows that my Dahongpao is still successful!"

Yan Yun?
Xia Ruofei asked inexplicably.
Li Zhifu nodded and said: "Yes! The popular saying is the charm of the rock, this is the unique charm of our Wuyishan Dahongpao."
"It sounds a bit mysterious..." Xia Ruofei smiled.
"This is not mysterious. The Dahongpao of Wuyishan is the rhyme that looks very mysterious and becomes a tangible, tasteable rhyme." Li Zhifu said.
Then, his eyes revealed a sigh of deep sighs and said: "In my opinion, Dahongpao is like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life, suffering from hardships and hardships. After walking through a long life, he slowly tells you. It can withstand the tempering of time and can withstand the scrutiny of the years."
Xia Ruofei suddenly took a sigh of relief. He never imagined an old tea farmer who had been engaged in tea making for many decades in Wuyishan. He could say such a philosophical and poetic discourse.
Xia Ruofei looked at Li Zhifu deeply and then asked: "Mr. Li Lao, what do you think of the quality of Dahongpao made this time, compared with the legendary mother tree Dahongpao?"
