As soon as Xia Ruofei said this, everyone in the room was stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Guizhi said cautiously on the side: "Mr. Xia, making tea is very physically demanding, and my father's current body is ......."

Li Zhifu glared at Li Guizhi when he heard this, and said, "Didn't you listen to Xiao Xia?

"But...... It will take more than ten hours for a whole set of processes to come down......" Li Guizhi said a little anxiously.

Xia Ruofei realized that he seemed to be a little ill-considered, but he had already said what he said, and he really hoped that Li Zhifu would make it himself, only in this way could he truly test the quality of the space red robe.

So Xia Ruofei groaned for a while and said, "Aunt Guizhi, with me here, if Mr. Li's body is unwell, I can also deal with it in time." And I have mixed some nutrient solution, which is very good for physical recovery, I don't think it should be a big problem. ”

Li Guizhi heard Xia Ruofei say this, so he didn't say anything anymore, after all, Xia Ruofei was their family's lifesaver!

Although Ye Lingyun was also a little worried about whether Li Zhifu's body could afford to eat, he was more confident in Xia Ruofei, since Xia Ruofei had even prepared the nutrient solution to restore his strength, Ye Lingyun was even more relieved.

Li Zhifu himself was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, if you want to see tea making, there are a lot of tea trees here in Wuyi Mountain, why don't you just pick a little fresh leaves......? The quality is not very good......"

Li Zhifu said it a little tactfully, but the meaning was very clear.

Xia Ruofei pretended not to hear, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Li, these fresh leaves I brought...... How so...... It may be a little different from ordinary tea, you will know it when you see it!"

When Li Zhifu heard this, he was aroused a little interested, and said, "Then what are you waiting for?

After speaking, Li Zhifu walked to the staircase first, and he walked vigorously, not at all showing that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer not long ago.

Everyone came downstairs together, Xia Ruofei took two steps and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you wait here for a while, the tea is in the car." ”

Ye Lingyun hurriedly said, "Brother Xia, I'll get it!"

"No, no, no......" Xia Ruofei said repeatedly.

He didn't give Ye Lingyun a chance to help, he walked quickly to the side of the car, and when he opened the trunk door, his mind moved, and a large bag of fresh leaves was directly ingested from the space and appeared in the trunk.

This bag of fresh leaves weighed six or seven catties, Xia Ruofei reached out and easily picked up the bag, turned around and walked to the electrical repair shop.

Xia Ruofei put the bag in front of Li Zhifu, then opened the bag and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, what is the quality of this fresh leaf?"

Li Zhifu grabbed a handful of fresh leaves with great interest, and when he saw the emerald green leaves, his eyes couldn't help but stare at it, and then he put his head up, sniffed deeply, and suddenly showed a look of enjoyment.

Li Zhifu looked at it over and over for a long time before he sighed and said, "Xiao Xia, you tea...... It's the prettiest tea I've seen in years!"

Xia Ruofei didn't understand Li Zhifu's use of adjectives like "beautiful", but Xia Ruofei's heart was slightly relieved to be recognized by Li Zhifu, and then he asked: "Mr. Li, have you handled the fresh leaves of the mother tree's Da Hong Pao?"

Li Zhifu said seriously: "In terms of the quality of fresh leaves, it is definitely on par with the mother tree Dahongpao, and the natural fragrance of the tea leaves is stronger, but the technique of the tea picker seems to be a little less meaningful, of course, this impact is not great!"

Xia Ruofei's face flushed slightly when he heard this, and he said in his heart that this old man's eyes are too sharp! It seems that the seemingly simple tea picking work actually has a lot of knowledge in it!

Xia Ruofei asked, "How is it?" Mr. Li, are you interested in making a move?"

"Of course!" Li Zhifu was obviously very interested in these fresh leaves, "I haven't made tea by myself for many years, and these fresh leaves are of such high quality, I'm ...... It's really a little itchy!Xiao Xia, if you can trust me, leave them to me to deal with, and I promise to help you make a good red robe!"

Xia Ruofei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Guizhi and Niu Yusheng both had worried expressions on their faces, but they opened their mouths and didn't say anything in the end.

Because they know Li Zhifu too well, this old man's temper is very stubborn, once he recognizes something, it will not be able to be pulled back by eight cows, and what they say is in vain.

Li Zhifu said: "It's been a little time since these fresh leaves have been picked! We have to deal with them quickly! Xiao Xia, Xiao Ye, let's go ......."

"Where are you going?" Xia Ruofei asked subconsciously.

"Just get in the car, I'll show you the way!" Li Zhifu said.

Then he directly picked up the bag of fresh leaves, Ye Lingyun saw this and hurriedly took the bag from his hand, walked quickly to the back of the Knight XV off-road vehicle, and put the big bag of fresh leaves into the trunk.

The chassis of the Knight XV was quite high, and after Ye Lingyun finished releasing the fresh leaves, he trotted to the rear door, opened the door, and helped Li Zhifu to get into the car.

Xia Ruofei also hurriedly sat in the driver's seat.

Niu Yusheng and Li Guizhi were worried about Li Zhifu's health, so they hurriedly went to close the store door and got into the car together.

The 15th Knight started, Li Zhifu guided Xia Ruofei towards the outside of the town, and after ten minutes, he came to the door of a small tea factory.

It is said to be a tea factory, but the scale is quite small, and it looks like a family workshop.

Li Zhifu poked his head out of the car window and shouted, "Gen'er!

An honest middle-aged man walked out following the sound, and after seeing Li Zhifu in the car, he hurriedly opened the iron door, and Xia Ruofei drove into the courtyard.

The middle-aged man raised his head slightly and looked up at Li Zhifu in the car, and said in surprise: "Master, why are you here?"

Li Zhifu said: "Borrow your guy and use it!"

The middle-aged man was surprised and delighted, and said, "Master, you old man want to make tea yourself?"

Li Zhifu said angrily: "Nonsense!"

At this time, Ye Lingyun had already quickly gotten out of the car, came to Li Zhifu's side, and helped the old man down after opening the car door.

Xia Ruofei and the others also got out of the car, Li Zhifu pointed to the middle-aged man and said, "Xiao Xia, let me introduce you, this is Yang Shugen, the owner of this tea factory, who learned tea making from me for a period of time in the early years. Gen'er, this is Xiao Xia from Sanshan, and I want to help him make a batch of tea today. ”

Xia Ruofei understood as soon as he heard it, this Yang Shugen was not Li Zhifu's official disciple, but he had also learned the tea-making craft with Li Zhifu, but looking at Yang Shugen's appearance, he also had a lot of respect for Li Zhifu.

"Hello, Boss Yang, I'm sorry for your trouble. Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Yang Shugen hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble...... Master's business is my business, Boss Xia doesn't have to be polite......"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to talk about these useless things!" Li Zhifu said impatiently, "Lingyun, go and take down the fresh leaves, you have to hurry up and dry the green!"

"Okay!" Ye Lingyun responded excitedly, and hurriedly went to take a large bag of tea green out of the car.

Yang Shugen didn't need Li Zhifu's instructions, and hurriedly ran to the house and sifted out a few big bamboo water.

Under the command of Li Zhifu, Ye Lingyun and Yang Shugen poured the tea green on the bamboo sieve and spread it evenly.

More than six catties of fresh leaves have been used up to four bamboo water screens.

Then Yang Shugen and Ye Lingyun worked together to carry the bamboo water sieve to the open field outside the courtyard, and there was a row of shelves here, and they put the bamboo water sieves on the shelves.

Li Zhifu raised his hand and looked at his watch, recorded the time, and then said to Xia Ruofei: "Xiao Xia, the sun is just right at this time, let's use natural sunlight to tan the green first, and then use indoor heating to wither after a while!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "The fresh leaves are handed over to you, everything is up to you!"

Li Zhifu smiled and nodded.

At this time, Yang Shugen walked in, and Ye Lingyun stayed outside to look at the tea green - this is Xia Ruofei's tea, Li Zhifu personally made it, Ye Lingyun didn't dare to leave for a moment, for fear that something would go wrong.

"Gen'er, go make a fire, and it will start to warm up and wither in a while!" Li Zhifu said.

"Yes Master!" Yang Shugen said immediately, and then turned and walked towards the house.

Li Zhifu shouted again: "Wait a minute, Gen'er, you make a bed for me after the fire is made." ”

Yang Shugen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Master, ...... You're going to stay up all night? You're ......."

"If you want to do it, you will do it! What nonsense?" Li Zhifu said impatiently.

Yang Shugen smiled bitterly and said, "Got it......"

After Yang Shugen left, Li Zhifu said: "Gen'er is a very good person, but sometimes he is verbose...... Now there are not many people who insist on making tea by hand, because the output cannot be increased, and those big tea factories are on the machine, and I am angry when I look at it! Gen'er has been insisting on making tea by hand for more than 20 years. ”

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Mr. Li, Boss Yang will persuade you because of filial piety......

"My own body knows it for itself. Li Zhifu waved his hand and said, "Besides, isn't there a great doctor like you?"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded yes.

The two sat in the courtyard chatting as time passed quietly.

At about two o'clock, Li Zhifu got up and shouted, "Lingyun, Gen'er, go and bring in the tea green!"

Ye Lingyun and Yang Shugen worked together to carry the bamboo water sieve into a room, Xia Ruofei also followed, and as soon as he entered the room, he felt a warmth - Yang Shugen had already placed a few charcoal basins in the house in advance, and the charcoal inside was burning vigorously.

There was a row of large shelves in the room, and Yang Shugen and Ye Lingyun put the bamboo water sieves on the shelves, and everyone left together until all four bamboo water sieves moved in.

It will take a while for the tea to wither, and then you have to wait.

Yang Shugen moved some chairs out, and beckoned his daughter-in-law to bring some peanuts, melon seeds and the like and put them on the stone table in the yard, and everyone sat around the yard chatting.

At about 3:40, Li Zhifu got up for the third time and went to the house to check, and finally felt that the heat was almost over, so Yang Shugen and Ye Lingyun went to carry out the bamboo water sieve again.

Li Zhifu asked Ye Lingyun to put the tea greens in the two bamboo water sieves together, so that there were only two bamboo water sieves left.

He raised his head and said, "Xiao Xia, the following is the link of shaking the green, I will operate it myself." Lingyun, Gen'er, you all look at it, and how much you can learn depends on your creation!"

Ye Lingyun felt okay, after all, Li Zhifu taught him by word and deed every day, and Yang Shugen rarely had such an opportunity to learn at close range, so he was also quite excited, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyes.

Li Zhifu walked over and grabbed one side of the bamboo water sieve with both hands, more than three catties of tea green plus bamboo water sieve are six or seven catties, and the bamboo water sieve is very large, and it is still not easy for ordinary people to control. But Li Zhifu grasped it steadily.

I saw Li Zhifu start shaking the bamboo water sieve with a peculiar gesture, and the cool green leaves in the water sieve kept rolling and swirling and turning up and down.

Yang Shugen and Ye Lingyun both watched Li Zhifu operate intently.

For this process, Xia Ruofei knew some principles through Internet inquiries - fresh leaves are spiral-shaped in the water sieve, rolling up and down in order, and the turning leaf edges collide and rub against each other, causing injury to the cell tissue, promoting the oxidation of polyphenolic compounds, and promoting the formation of rock brown color, aroma and taste.

But it's one thing to know the principle, it's another thing to know how to do it.

Xia Ruofei knew that Li Zhifu's gestures and movements were actually passed down by word of mouth, the crystallization of the wisdom of many generations of tea makers, and the mastery of the number of shakes, frequencies and heat conditions could never be replaced by machines.

Li Zhifu shook each sieve about twenty times before stopping.

Yang Shugen and Ye Lingyun hurriedly stepped forward and moved the water sieve to the shelf and put it away.

The first time he shook the green movement, the range was not large, and the number of times was relatively small, Li Zhifu's face was not red or panting, and he looked full of energy.

He said to Xia Ruofei: "There are a total of four shakes tonight, the first one is over, and the next time will start after dinner." ”

Yang Shugen hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to prepare dinner, while Niu Yusheng and Li Guizhi left early.

After eating, at about half past six in the evening, Li Zhifu began to shake the green for the second time.

This time it shook about fifty times.

At half past nine in the evening, the third time I shook the green, and shook it lightly about one hundred and fifty times.

The workload is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Zhifu finally got out of breath after finishing it, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Ye Lingyun hurriedly poured a glass of water for the master and asked him to rest on the side.

Xia Ruofei went to the car, and when he came back, he took a bottle of "nutrient solution" and gave it to Li Zhifu to drink.

As soon as Li Zhifu finished drinking, his arm, which suddenly felt a little sore, quickly began to recover, and his physical strength seemed to become abundant again. Originally, he was a little worried about the fourth and fifth shakes, but he was suddenly full of confidence again.

After drinking the nutrient solution prepared by Xia Ruofei, Li Zhifu went to bed to rest for an hour, got up on time at about 0:00 at night, and started to shake the green for the fourth time.

The fourth time there were two hundred shakes, and there were sixty strokes of hands in the middle, Li Zhifu was not worried about the apprentice to operate this key link, all of them were done by himself, and after the green leaves of the two water sieves were processed, he was also sweating profusely.

Fortunately, Xia Ruofei's nutrient solution was very magical, and after drinking it, his physical strength recovered a lot.

After this shake was over, Li Zhifu went back to bed to rest, he asked Ye Lingyun to set the alarm clock and wake him up at three o'clock in the morning.

Xia Ruofei also returned to the car, put the seat down and squinted for a while.

At three o'clock, Li Zhifu got up on time and carried out the last shaking operation.

It is still the method of heavy shaking, this time Li Zhifu asked Ye Lingyun to pour the tea green in the two water sieves together, plus the water sieve weighed a total of ten catties, Li Zhifu lifted the heavy shake three hundred and ten times, and mixed with eighty hands in the middle.

After a whole set of operations, Li Zhifu's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he didn't even have the strength to speak, but just gestured to Xia Ruofei.

Xia Ruofei hurriedly handed the nutrient solution that had been prepared to Li Zhifu.

Li Zhifu raised his head and drank it, and rested for a while before he spoke: "Okay, it's almost time to shake the green, take it to ferment!"

After speaking, Li Zhifu turned around and went back to the room to rest.

Xia Ruofei pulled Ye Lingyun and asked, "Lingyun, why is this tea-making procedure so complicated?

Ye Lingyun said: "Half of it! Master asked me to wake him up at half past five, and there are also procedures such as frying, rolling, baking, etc., which are quite critical, and he must operate them himself......

Xia Ruofei also sighed in his heart when he heard this, the procedure of making tea by hand is really complicated, no wonder those big tea factories use machines to make tea.

Fortunately, he has a Lingxin flower petal solution, otherwise with Li Zhifu's advanced age and physical condition, it would be really enough to complete the entire process himself.

Xia Ruofei looked at the dim light in Li Zhifu's room, full of respect for this old man who adhered to traditional tea-making skills.

At the same time, he is also full of expectations for the final Dahongpao tea made tomorrow!
