I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

The next day, Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to get up and see how they fried tea leaves.

Today, Grandma Liu was in charge of frying the tea. While doing the preparations, she explained to Liu Xiaoxiao: "First, the wok must be clean and free of oil."

As soon as Grandma Liu cleaned the pot, her aunt brought over the tea leaves in a winnowing basket.

Grandma Liu waited for Daya to heat up the pot, then poured the tea leaves into the pot and instructed, "Daya, heat it to medium heat."

Then, while stirring the tea leaves in the pot, he explained to Liu Xiaoxiao: "The fire should not be too high when the tea leaves are put into the pot. Then we need to stir the tea leaves up and down constantly with our hands to ensure that they are heated evenly. This step is called killing the green tea leaves, and it is used to remove the green taste in the tea leaves."

"When the leaves become soft and dark green, we can heat them over low heat. Then we can move on to the second step of kneading them into strips. When kneading the strips, we need to knead them in one direction."

"Grandma, your hands have been rubbing them in the pot. Aren't they hot?" Liu Xiaoxiao watched for a long time and finally couldn't help asking the question she had always wanted to ask.

"This little temperature is nothing for my hands with calluses," she said, rubbing them a few more times.

"When the leaves shrink into strips and the tea juice sticks to the leaves and feels sticky, we can take them out of the pot." He took out the tea leaves with a winnowing basket and spread them out to cool.

"Grandma, do you want to fry it again after it's dried?"

"Yes, now we need to cool it down and dissipate the heat. We should also wash the pot. Look, there are some tea crusts on it."

When Liu Xiaoxiao saw that there really were some, she saw that her grandmother was going to wash the pot, so she took the initiative to bring the tea leaves in the winnowing basket to the door. Because it was windy there, she also went to find a cattail leaf fan and fanned it vigorously to help the tea leaves dry faster.

After the tea leaves were dried and the pot was clean, Grandma Liu told her that she could bring the tea over. This time, Grandma Liu told Dayajie not to light the fire, as the fire in the stove was still very hot, and it would burn if she was not careful.

"This time, it's the same as before. You need to roll the tea leaves and turn them faster. Wait until the tea leaves are tight and thin and emit a tea fragrance. Then control the moisture. At this time, the tea leaves can be easily broken when picked up. This means that the tea is fried and can be taken out of the pot."

Just as Grandma Liu was about to take the tea out of the pot, her aunt came over with a ceramic pot.

"Mom, I brought you a teapot. Use this to store the tea." Then he handed the teapot to Grandma Liu.

Grandma Liu took the teapot and put the tea that was about to be served into the pot carefully with her hands. When all the tea leaves were put in, she stuffed a plug made of cloth into the pot and finally closed the lid.

"Okay, the tea is fried. Xiaoxiao, have you learned it?" Grandma Liu smiled as she looked at her granddaughter who was trying to learn how to fry tea beside her.

"Haha," Liu Xiaoxiao laughed dryly. "I think I've learned the theory! If I were to do it, I still wouldn't be able to do it. After all, my hands aren't as strong as grandma's and are afraid of burns."

Although Grandma Liu didn't understand the theoretical knowledge, she understood the general content and explained, "Actually, you don't have to knead the noodles in it. If you are afraid of the heat, you can take it out and knead it in a winnowing basket. You can also use a spatula to flip it when stir-frying."

"Grandma, I will learn it now if you say so. Let me try it next time." She understood after hearing it and wanted to try it.

"Then we'll have to wait until next year! This year's amount is more than enough."

"Although I can't let you stir-fry tea now, do you want to try the tea leaves you picked yourself?" As she said that, she handed the tea leaves that she had just reserved but not canned to Liu Xiaoxiao in a bowl.

"Of course," he said, picking up the bowl and going to the yard.

When Grandma Liu came out with the bottle of water, she saw a heartwarming scene where her granddaughter was squatting next to her husband, telling her grandfather that this was freshly cooked by her grandma, and asked her grandfather if he wanted to taste it together.
