In the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, the Wei River has long been frozen, and even the Yellow River is densely covered with ice, making it difficult to navigate.

However, when turning south from Luoyang into Tongji Canal, the river is smooth, and it goes all the way to the south, passing through the Huai River and entering Hangou, crossing the river to Hangzhou.Fang Sihai has only traveled for forty days, and after deducting the delays on the road, he has very little time to do things, and it seems to be quite smooth.

In the kitchen, Fang Sihai watched Fang Jun grab a handful of Longjing tea he brought back and threw it into a large pot, inexplicably.

Fang Junquan did not exist in the world when he was in the house, and his spirit was concentrated in the pot in front of him.

In a row, three large pots were placed side by side, and the cook was instructed to set it on fire. The first pot was scorching hot and the temperature was the highest, while the temperature of the other two pots gradually decreased.

Fang Jun broke off a fluffy bamboo in the yard, made a tea-frying broom, and used it to stir-fry in the pot.

Because it is an autumn old tea, the dehydration process has already been completed, so the procedure of the first raw pot is completed quickly.

"The local tea farmers have developed a new method of drinking tea. Instead of grinding and boiling the tea as in the past, it is rolled into cakes and steamed in a pot. , it can better reflect the fragrance of tea leaves than boiling tea..."

Fang Sihai was talking about what he had seen in Hangzhou, while watching Fang Jun's actions strangely, thinking that I've been talking about this for a long time, and I said it's steamed tea, why do you put it in the pot and stir fry it?

However, with Fang Jun's concentrated movements, a strong fragrance permeated the kitchen and penetrated into his nostrils, refreshing his heart.

Fang Sihai swallowed and closed his mouth.

Why did Erlang make tea in a way he had never heard of before, so it was more fragrant than steamed tea?
At this time, the tea leaves in the pot were soft and dark green, so Fang Jun immediately swept them into the second pot.

This pot mainly plays the role of continuing to kill the green and preliminary kneading, and the pot temperature is slightly lower than that of the raw pot.

Because the friction between the tea leaves and the pot wall is relatively large, and the force is greater than that of the raw pot, so you need to "bring your strength" to make the leaves rotate in the pot with the tea broom, and start rolling them into strips. , let out the heat.

After a while, Fang Jun saw sweat on his forehead.

When the leaves shrink into strips, the fried tea juice sticks to the leaves and feels sticky, so it is swept into the last pot.

At this time, the tea leaves are relatively soft. Stir-fry with a tea broom for a few times, and the leaves will drill into the bamboo branches of the broom, shake a little, and then the leaves will be scattered into the pot again.Repeated operations like this make the leaves spit out inside and outside the bamboo broom, and skillfully combine dehydration and rubbing into strips.

Stir fry until the ropes are tight and thin, and the tea fragrance is emitted, about [-] to [-]% dry, and immediately put out of the pot to dry.

Fang Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Fang Sihai, "Have you seen these steps clearly?"

Fang Sihai was confused, and nodded blankly: "I see clearly..."

I can see the process clearly, but I don't know why.

After washing his hands with the basin, Fang Jun said: "This is the method of frying tea, which has never happened in the world. Later, someone will record the key points of each step and hand them over to you. You need to work hard, and you must understand the tricks. , from now on, the tea making of the Fang family will be entrusted to you."

Fang Jun has always been fond of tea, and has done a lot of research on various types of tea.

At the beginning, Fang Sihai was asked to buy tea trees, but he just missed the habit of "teaching reading" in the past.

Now the purpose has changed.

Remember that the method of frying tea should have appeared in the Ming Dynasty. If you take it out at this time, it must be the only one in the world. It should not be difficult to make some extra money.

When Fang Sihai heard the words, he was immediately excited, and knelt down on one knee and said, "Please rest assured Erlang, a certain will definitely do his best and die, and he will live up to Erlang's trust!"

Fang Sihai understands the tea market very well at this time. It can be said that there is no tea in the whole Tang Dynasty!How big is this industry?

Now that the Fang family is going to enter the tea industry, and he is the person in charge in the future, doesn't he immediately rise in status, become a superior man, and become a superior man among servants?
Fang Jun laughed and said, "Oh, I don't see that you have studied yet? You have even read Zhuge Wuhou's "Apprenticeship", it's not easy... But you can do your best, but no one wants you to die. improper!"

Fang Sihai was embarrassed. He said this sentence when he was listening to a play in the fall. In order to show his cultural level, he said it rashly...

"How about Da Hong Pao?"

Fang Sihai got Longjing tea, so he couldn't wait to come back to present the treasure, but he didn't know what news about the Fujian Dahongpao.

Fang Sihai explained: "Fujian is a long way to go back and forth for at least a few months. I thought it would be safe to hurry up and make arrangements for this Longjing tea, and then go to Fujian to find the Dahongpao."

Fang Jun nodded, agreeing with what he said.

Although Longjing tea is not as famous now as later generations, it is a famous tea after all, and there are traces to follow.At this time, Da Hong Pao not only hadn't seen the classics, but the world had not heard of its name. It was indeed difficult to search for a few tea trees that were not known to exist in the vast mountains.

Anyway, if the tea tree already exists, it will not run away with long legs, so there is no need to rush it for a while.

Fang Jun also wanted to ask Fang Sihai a few words. With a "bang", the kitchen door was slammed open, and a cold air immediately washed away the rich tea fragrance in the kitchen.

Fang Jun stared at Fang Quan who had entered the door in amazement, and looked at the always strict, prudent and unsmiling steward.

Fang Quan's old face was full of excitement, and his cheeks were twitching when he spoke: "Erlang... a fetish, a fetish!"

That look, as if seeing aliens descend on the earth...

Fang Jun asked curiously, "What kind of magical thing makes Uncle Quan so excited?"

"I... that... oops!" The more excited Fang Quan became, the more he couldn't understand. He simply grabbed Fang Jun's sleeve and pulled him away.

"Erlang, just look at it and you will know!"

Fang Jun had no choice but to be dragged away by him. Fang Sihai, also a monk Zhang Er, was confused and followed behind.

In a place not far from the blacksmith shop, there are two porcelain kilns built by the Fang family. They say they are porcelain kilns, but they cannot burn porcelain, only some pottery.

In this era, porcelain is a very noble thing, and the production method is not widely spread. The most critical problem is the furnace temperature, so there are few porcelain kilns in the folk.

It is not difficult to burn paper ceramics. Just get some clay and knead it, then put it in the kiln and burn it for a while.

In addition, there is a lot of kaolin in Guanzhong. There are several places in Lishan alone. Later Fang Jun never heard of kaolin in Lishan. Perhaps it was because the output was scarce and it was all illuminated.

Seeing Fang Quan lead himself to the porcelain kiln, Fang Jun was also a little excited.

Could it be that...the glass was fired successfully?

　After all, it is a new book period, the pace of the update slows down a little, long live understanding!
