Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

Cheng Yuntao was confident that she could make it well, so she nodded without hesitation and promised, "Don't worry, senior. If there is any loss, I will definitely bear it."

Seeing her so confident, Li Fu sat up straight with doubt, staring at Cheng Yuntao's hand movements without blinking, trying to find the difference in her steps.

As the saying goes, "Three parts tea, seven parts brewing."

This saying means that a person with superb tea-making skills can make even ordinary tea taste unique. Conversely, if one does not know how to make tea and the steps are disordered, even the best tea will have difficulty tasting the best flavor.

Cheng Yuntao called the waiter to bring a new teapot. After the water boiled, she asked the waiter to remove the stove, and the table suddenly became much more spacious.

Then pour the boiling water in the soup bottle into the teapot without covering it to allow heat to dissipate and cool down.

While the tea was drying, Cheng Yuntao took out the tea leaves from the tea box and examined them carefully. She saw that the tea stems were thick and straight, the branches and leaves were white, and the tender buds were golden yellow. It was undoubtedly a tea of ​​high quality.

After admiring it, she put the tea leaves to her nose and sniffed them.

When the time is right, Cheng Yuntao takes the hot water from the soup bottle and carefully warms up another teapot. After draining and wiping it clean, he takes an appropriate amount of Junshan Yinzhen and puts it into the pot, covers it and simmers it for a while.

When you open the lid of the pot, a light and elegant fragrance hits your nose. Although the smell is light, it spreads quickly and over a wide area.

In an instant, all the guests who were chatting in the teahouse turned their heads and looked here following the scent.

The waiter who was originally shuttling between the tables also stopped curiously and sniffed the fleeting tea fragrance in the air. He had worked in the teahouse for many years and had never smelled such an alluring aroma.

When the water temperature gradually cooled down, Cheng Yuntao held up the teapot, skillfully rotated the no longer scalding water in the pot into the teapot, and then covered the pot with a lid.

Looking at the thin white teapot, she suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had a delicately shaped glass cup, she would be able to enjoy watching the beautiful Junshan Silver Needle dancing up and down in the water.

But now due to limited conditions, we are unable to witness the magnificent sight of silver needle tea clusters standing and floating, which is indeed a pity.

When I opened the lid of the pot, I saw tender sprouts breaking through the water, standing tall, like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, or like silver swords shining with cold light.

After it slowly sank, Cheng Yuntao poured the tea into the teacup. The tea was light yellow in color and had a lingering fragrance. She took a sip and felt the sweetness in her mouth, with a long-lasting taste.

"Senior, please have some tea."

Cheng Yuntao reached out and pushed the brewed tea in front of Li Fu, then raised her hand to signal him that he could start tasting the tea.

When the fragrance escaped just now, Li Fu was also surprised. He couldn't understand why seemingly simple movements could actually stimulate such different fragrances.

However, the most important thing about drinking tea is the taste of the tea in your mouth. If it only smells good, it is just superficial.

He didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup and savored the tea carefully.

After a long while, he slowly said, "This taste is indeed different."

"Compared to my previous brews, this one has a sweeter, smoother taste, a fresh and refreshing taste, and a bright tea soup with a delicate and long-lasting aroma."

Without too many words, after tasting it himself, Li Fu could tell the difference and understood why Cheng Yuntao had sighed that it was a pity before.

"But I still don't understand, where exactly was I missing before?"

Facing Li Fu's thirst for knowledge, Cheng Yuntao put down the teacup in her hand and explained in detail the key points that needed to be paid attention to.

"The picking process for Junshan Silver Needle is extremely strict. It must be picked when the tea trees are just beginning to sprout. The raw materials are delicate, and only after layers of screening can a limited amount of tea be obtained."

"For such delicate tea leaves, using boiling water when brewing would easily burn them, significantly reducing the freshness of the tea. Therefore, when brewing, it is best to use warm water, cover the teapot and simmer for a while. This will allow the tea leaves to float up and down without affecting the flavor of the tea."

"Just now I washed the pot and cup with boiling water to raise the temperature of the pot and cup to prevent a large temperature difference when adding hot water, which would affect the taste of the tea. When brewing tea, hold the teapot high and turn it in the same direction. This will allow the tea and water to fully blend, stimulate the tea aroma, and let the tea fragrance linger in the tea."

Li Fu knew that Junshan Yinzhen was a good tea, but he had no idea that there were so many details to pay attention to when brewing it.

From this perspective, his drinking of tea in the past was just like Zhu Bajie swallowing the ginseng fruit, which was really a waste.

In fact, it is not his fault. On weekdays, there are very few people who can come to the teahouse to drink tea and relax. Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to sit down leisurely and spend a lot of time exploring the characteristics of different teas like dignitaries.

This Junshan Yinzhen tea first became popular among the upper class and wealthy. If ordinary people were lucky enough to taste it, they would be proud of it and rarely delve into other things.

"Been taught a lesson."

After this incident, Li Fu was already convinced and no longer dared to look down on Cheng Yuntao. Even his tone became much kinder.

"Conditions are limited, so we can only use simple techniques to improve the flavor. If we control it step by step, the taste of Junshan Yinzhen can be taken to a higher level." Cheng Yuntao refilled the empty teacup, with a hint of regret still hidden in his words.

Li Fu originally thought that this was the best, but he didn't expect that there are always better people and mountains. Could this tea be even better?!

"There are four things to consider when brewing tea: choosing the water, washing the tea leaves, waiting for the tea to boil, and choosing the tea quality."

"Good water is the key to good tea. Different water quality and taste will have a significant impact on the flavor of the tea. Clear, sweet mountain spring water is the best choice, as it can better stimulate the aroma and taste of the tea."

"Washing the tea leaves is the simplest of these steps. Its purpose is to remove any dust or impurities that may have stained the tea leaves, making the subsequent brewing of the tea purer. It also helps to moisten the tea leaves to a certain extent, allowing them to initially expand and prepare for better flavor release. While this step may be simple, it shouldn't be overlooked."

"Waiting for the tea to brew is what I just mentioned. Different teas require water of different temperatures. Water that is too high may destroy the tea's nutrients and flavor, while water that is too low will make it difficult to fully bring out the tea's flavor. Precisely controlling the heat and temperature of the water will help to better bring out the tea's flavor."

"As for the selection of teaware, although it has the least correlation with the flavor of the tea, the material and shape of the teaware will affect the brewing effect and drinking experience. For example, a purple clay teapot can better absorb the tea aroma and maintain the temperature, while a porcelain teapot can show the beauty of the tea soup when brewing. Choosing the right teaware according to the type of tea and personal preference is crucial to presenting a good cup of tea."

Thanks to his skills, Cheng Yuntao can master anything that is edible and use it at different times.

After this introduction and conversation, Li Fu was greatly inspired, his expression became more respectful, and he took the initiative to get close to him.

"I'm sorry for being so rude just now. I wonder what I should call you, young lady? Could we become tea friends in the future? We could drink tea together in our spare time, so I can learn more about the secrets of tea making from you."

Cheng Yuntao smiled slightly. Very good, the fish has started to bite the bait on its own.
