Chapter 166: Tea Competition [Three chapters, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets]
"Ying ying ying?"
"Little Fuli, tell me, who exactly suggested going to the foot bath city to wash feet yesterday?" Chen Peipei's tone carried some dissatisfaction as she asked the truth from the little fox who had just woken up through the phone.
Going to the foot bath city to wash feet is not a big deal for Chen Peipei. How can there be no business entertainment when doing business and running errands? If there were really no entertainment activities, that would be the real big deal.
With many years of husband and wife affection, Chen Peipei still had some trust in this. Therefore, Chen Peipei also asked on WeChat last night whether Seeing Yu Zhenghong should leave the door unlocked.
As a result, when Seeing Yu Zhenghong came back this morning, Chen Peipei saw the receipt for over four thousand in Hai Linglong, even though it was marked as waived. She still couldn't help but complain, saying that if Seeing Yu Zhenghong's feet weren't inlaid with gold and polished, they wouldn't be worth this price.
And Seeing Yu Zhenghong was stubborn, saying that Lord Fuli wanted to go wash feet, and the price wasn't high, so it didn't show sincerity.
In the past, five thousand was given to Mazu, and now the consumption of two people and one fox is only over four thousand, which is already very frugal.
Seeing Yu Zhenghong didn't think washing feet yesterday was washing feet.
In the old guy's inherent cognition, that was inviting a god. How could Lord Fuli's business be called washing feet? Vulgar!
"Who suggested it? Seems like me? I saw Old Chen working hard to dry tea leaves, his waist was sore and his back was aching, so I suggested washing feet to relax, and then, Old Chen just happened to have a Hai Linglong VIP card."
The little fox thought and chirped to the phone: "Don't worry! I'll watch the old guy for you, he can't cheat, and I even got the qualification for a waiver by my own ability. You can just report my name when you go to Hai Linglong to wash feet in the future..."
Just as the little fox finished chirping, the translation of the relevant content also appeared in Seeing Yu Xueqing's mind.
【It's Fox Fox! It was Fox Fox yesterday. Fox Fox saw the Village Chief helping our family dry tea and his waist was sore and aching, so Fox Fox wanted to help the Village Chief massage his waist! Wow—yesterday, it was so scary in the dark room, so many big sisters came to touch me!】
【After they touched Fox Fox's belly, they wanted Fox Fox to exchange meat for it. Fox Fox was super hard-working and beat them all away. They didn't snatch Fox Fox!】
"..." Mom, I asked about the matter." Seeing Yu Xueqing revealed a strange expression and said: "The little fox saw the Village Chief working hard to dry tea for our family last night and his waist was sore, so he said he was going to help the Village Chief massage his waist, and then they went to wash feet."
After the little fox said this, he also complained about the technicians touching his belly and cheeks, and afterward, they asked the little fox to pay the bill. The little fox was shocked.
An Sheng was frantically complaining here that the technicians at Hai Linglong were rebellious.
"Is that so? Then it's fine. I'm going to fetch a basin of water for your dad to wash his feet. I'll hang up for now." Chen Peipei got the answer and hung up the call first.
"Mom and Dad's relationship is really good." Seeing Yu Xueqing looked at the fox spinning and complaining about the technicians on the bed, and then at the phone with the extinguished screen, carrying emotion and envy.
Old married couple, supporting each other, growing together until their career is successful and they have children.
I don't know if I will be able to meet such a respectful other half in the future.
Seeing Yu Xueqing, who was feeling emotional, didn't expect that near noon, Chen Peipei would post a picture and text message on her WeChat Moments.
In the picture, Chen Peipei was crouching in front of the toilet, holding a steel wire ball to wash Seeing Yu Zhenghong's feet.
In the basin, Seeing Yu Zhenghong's feet were arched, clearly tensing his muscles to resist the grinding of the steel wire ball.
Chen Peipei wrote in the Moments: 【Washing feet is not a problem, but not answering the phone when going out to play, and being righteous when returning home, the little comrade has a problem with his thinking.】
Seeing Yu Xueqing's mouth twitched slightly when she saw the Moments.
Her toes curled subconsciously, as if there was a pain called phantom pain, and also a feeling of déjà vu.
It seemed like when she was in junior high school, she went to a classmate's house to play on the computer and forgot to notify her mother. The next morning, she ate noodle paste without any seasoning, which was very difficult to swallow.
And she didn't eat fast enough, and the paste kept increasing.
An Sheng was at home, after fertilizing the tea trees he planted in the flower bed, he looked at the tea trees that were already sixty centimeters tall with a look of approval.
"It seems the craftsmanship hasn't regressed. Burn the tea trees the old guy planted on the mountain! I pee in the flower bed at home, and the tea trees I grow are better than his."
The little fox revealed a proud expression, raised his head, jumped onto the wall, crossed the courtyard, and arrived on the road.
An Sheng walked toward the ancestral hall, preparing to check the situation of the tea leaves withering in the constant temperature room.
On the way, An Sheng met the ideological and moral teacher Bai Tao, who was crouching in front of his house, trying to have a chance encounter with him.
An Sheng took one look at her, immediately quickened his pace, and ran past Su Qiyuan and Bai Tao's house quickly.
Bai Tao was shocked and hurriedly chased after him.
"Little fox, don't run! I have prepared small snacks for Fuli at home, all high-end goods. Do you want to come to my house and sit for a while..."
"Ying ying ying!"
Snacks? I'm not going, you want to trick me into taking the postgraduate entrance exam! An Sheng complained in his heart and hurriedly ran into the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is a restricted area; Bai Tao couldn't get in and could only watch the little fox wagging his big tail and disappearing in front of the door.
An Sheng arrived in the constant temperature room and observed the tea leaves spread on the winnowing basket. The tea leaves he chose were not the traditional one bud and two leaves, but one bud and four leaves on the tree.
One bud and two leaves have abundant tea polyphenols and catechins, and you can experience the crispness and freshness of the tea upon entering the mouth.
Unfortunately, the tea trees at the old guy's house are too tender, and the tender buds are purely flooded with water. Where are the tea polyphenols?
In order to maintain the tea aroma and taste, as well as the cup-soaking level during the competition, An Sheng chose one bud and four leaves that were slightly older. In tea leaves, the more leaves, the lower the tea polyphenol content, which means the cheaper it is.
But tea making is about adapting to local conditions, looking at the situation to choose raw materials and tea-making craftsmanship.
One bud and four leaves have high water content. If not handled well, when drinking it, the tea taster can roughly experience what it's like to have Rong Momo sticking needles on the tip of their tongue.
However, An Sheng just likes these tea leaves; the reason is the low purchase price, and the profit is high after being made into tea.
"Start shaking—"
After observing all the tea leaves and confirming that the parts on the green leaves had begun to dehydrate, the little fox stood on his hind legs, took out the winnowing basket from the constant temperature room, and began to shake the green leaves.
The purpose of shaking the green leaves is to bring the tea leaves to life.
Academically speaking, it is an enzymatic oxidation reaction, but to put it bluntly, it is to let the tea leaves release water, let the water stored on the tea stems flow back to the green leaves, and reduce the astringency of the tea leaves.
Because it is one bud and four leaves, the shaking step may need to be repeated about four to five times.
The little fox held the winnowing basket and began to shake. The tea leaves in the winnowing basket tumbled and rotated clockwise, colliding with each other, starting an enzymatic reaction to let the softened tea leaves become hard again.
The tea leaves began to jump on the winnowing basket. Looking from a distance, it seemed that one could see the tea leaves being rolled into round balls by An Sheng.
Shaking the winnowing baskets one by one, although An Sheng knew there was a shaking machine next to it, the shaking machine in the ancestral hall was a bamboo whip roller type, which was inconvenient to observe the tea leaves.
An Sheng would rather be tired than lazy to rework.
In the next few days, the well-known street loafer Lord Fuli of Zhangxizhen, in addition to transcribing some last words of the deceased on the white wall of the People's Hospital at night, sticking stamps on them and sending them back to the relatives' homes, and taking time to reply to Lin Ying's messages on his phone every night, spent most of his time on tea making.
Tea making is not difficult for him; what is difficult is to pass the craftsmanship to Old Chen and let Old Chen pass the craftsmanship to Xueqing.
Don't let it be one type of tea for the competition, and another type of tea sold in the market.
If this happens, the official Agricultural Bureau and the agricultural assistance organization will not be soft at all when issuing fines, and furthermore, they will prohibit tea farmers from participating in the competition for five years.
An Sheng had received fines in his past life. Although he wasn't fined to the point of poverty, he almost went to sea to film avi.
The little fox is making tea and earning willpower here.
And Xueqing is also planning here, trying to get some heat for the live broadcast during such a grand event as the Tea Competition.
Xueqing and Mo Yiqing are both thinking about programs. Originally, Xueqing even called Chen Zhiyu and Qiu Lingling, wanting to organize a pet special session to attract some young fans.
The tea mountain's fame must be hit, and the live broadcast channel must be grasped.
At the same time, Seeing Yu Zhenghong also learned from Old Chen that the Gao Feng Consulting Company had gone bankrupt, and he was instantly overjoyed.
"Damn it! It's good that it went bankrupt! That guy did so many things that would make his son have no asshole, and finally met retribution and went bankrupt and went to sea! Selling fake goods deserves to go bankrupt!"
