Chapter 172: Damn, I became essence!

Old Chen is still tasting tea.

After the smelling was over, when the stopwatch on the phone reached two minutes, the tea soup that had been sitting in the hot water for two minutes was poured out by Old Chen into a white ceramic tea bowl for the second step of tea tasting.

The Oolong tea made by An Sheng, when not brewed, the tea strips are greenish, and after the first cup of soup, the color is orange-red. There are some tea fragments floating slightly in the bottom of the cup, and the whole is clear and bright without any turbidity.

"..."

Old Chen saw the color of the tea soup, and a strange look appeared in his eyes. He poured himself a cup for the tasting of the tea soup, and poured hot water into the lid bowl for a second cup of soup with a longer sitting time.

The orange-red tea soup entered the mouth, and the strong floral fragrance still drilled into the nostrils. The tea soup had not entered the mouth, and it seemed that one could taste its tea rhyme.

The first feeling of entering the mouth is the sweetness of black tea, with a hint of fruit fragrance that Old Chen can't say.

The tea soup swallowed down the throat, the sweetness and fruit fragrance of black tea and the tightness of the tongue gradually faded, and then aftertaste, one can taste the strong floral fragrance and the crispness similar to green tea.

"..."

Old Chen was silent, smacking his lips, a bit dazed, still savoring the aftertaste brought by the tea soup.

The unreasonably strong fragrance, as well as the honey-like feeling that is hard to say, made the farming old tea farmer who turned from reclamation to planting tea gardens dazed.

Strong fragrance is very easy to explain, it can be essence, it can be other additives.

But essence tea has disadvantages. Any tea added with essence cannot be soaked with high-temperature hot water, otherwise there will be obvious miscellaneous tastes, as well as high-intensity astringency, and the tea soup will definitely be turbid.

But... the tea fried by Lord Fuli does not have it, it is completely the most standard light-scented Oolong.

"How is it? Is An Mou's fried tea awesome? The old man praised me for having talent in frying tea, and I would go to jail sooner or later!" An Sheng looked at Old Chen with a full face of excitement, hoping he would comment on the light-scented Oolong tea he fried.

An Sheng does have talent in making tea, but he often has a flash of inspiration in his brain, and he has made a lot of new technologies that make the tea-making old man dumbfounded.

Especially that radiation strong fragrance, even if the tea-making old man saw the nuclear radiation test report, he wouldn't dare to drink it.

Talent is talent, it's just that it carries some rebellion, as well as going against the ancestors.

"... I take back what I just said, this tea is definitely not essence tea, but why can the floral fragrance of this tea be so excessive? It feels completely unlike the tea trees made by Ah Hong's family."

"If it is sold on the market, I feel that without brand premium, I should be able to pay 1,300 to 1,600 per jin for this strong-scented Oolong tea."

Old Chen pondered for a moment and said the price in his heart:

"Especially the sweetness of black tea entering the mouth, carrying honey-like sweetness, left a deep impression on me. There is no greasiness in the aftertaste, only the freshness of green tea."

"?"

Listening to Old Chen's comments, a question mark appeared on An Sheng's head.

"How can there be fruit and honey feeling? I haven't fried this tea in my past life, this is just a light-scented Oolong that uses flower tea craftsmanship to finish, emphasizing fragrance. How can it taste the honey sweetness of black tea?"

An Sheng doubted, poured a cup of tea from the tea bowl into the tea cup, and tried to taste it himself.

The purpose of asking Old Chen to taste the tea is, to put it bluntly, that An Sheng himself doesn't know whether his sense of taste has changed much after becoming a fox compared to his past life.

What if the tea made feels perfect to himself, but feels bland or too strong in human mouths?

Therefore, An Sheng specially asked Old Chen to taste the tea. If he found any shortcomings, twenty-four hours would be enough for An Sheng to fry some remaining raw materials into new tea.

"Smack smack..."

The little fox's pink tongue stretched out, probed into the tea soup that had cooled down a bit, the tip of the tongue naturally rolled in, and hooked some tea soup into his mouth. An Sheng smacked his lips and felt the tea soup with his taste buds.

The honey-like fruit fragrance of black tea, the sticky feeling, appeared in his mouth in real time.

"How is this honey feeling so familiar?" An Sheng felt something wrong when smacking his lips. This thing similar to fig sugar is definitely not brought by Oolong tea green leaves, and it is a bit familiar.

An Sheng thought of something, his expression froze, turned his head, and buried his nose in his shoulder.

"Damn it! I said, how can that feeling carry some déjà vu!"

"An Mou became a tea leaf additive?!"

Noticing the source of the abnormal fragrance, the smile on An Sheng's cheeks gradually stiffened, carrying a trace of helplessness.

He swore!

He washed his hands when frying tea, but because he couldn't feel the temperature well with gloves, generally, tea masters wouldn't wear gloves when frying tea by hand!

This tea received a high evaluation from Old Chen.

Like an old tea ghost like Old Chen, he is willing to pay about 1,000 per jin for tea.

On the retail market, write a brand name, bring a master-supervised name, the price can at least double to 3,000, and then buy a half-jin gift box price.

Tea... might be good tea.

But this is not consistent with An Sheng's original intention!

He hopes to give Xueqing's family a tea that is compliant and legal and can be produced in batches, rather than a tea that requires him to do it himself.

"No way!"

"Since things have come to this, I can only use that move." An Sheng's face sank, and he made a decision in his heart.

This tea received a high evaluation from Old Chen and will inevitably be able to break out of the Tea Competition and reach the finals.

This tea will continue to participate in the competition.

If it wins a grand prize, put a master-supervised label on it, and fry a hundred or eighty jin for Xueqing's family when he is bored, and sell it on the store and website synchronously.

But this is not the main product, it is to earn word-of-mouth, and then put on the same raw materials and craftsmanship machine-made tea, selling for about two hundred per jin, it should have a go.

"Lord Fuli, do you sell this tea? I only need three jin of tea leaves to sign up for the competition. I see there are at least five jin left in the snake-skin bag..." Old Chen wanted to buy a jin to drink at home after savoring this tea.

"Ying ying ying—"

An Sheng looked a bit powerless, waved his hand, and typed a line on the phone screen:

【Forget about money, just take a jin home if you like it, and this tea is not that good, it's just that it carries some tricks, you cover your nose when drinking tea, and you can taste different flavors.】

Old Chen saw the words on the screen, his expression carried some doubt. According to Lord Fuli's statement, he tried to cover his nose before drinking the tea soup.

Old Chen pinched his nose and sipped the tea soup into his mouth like drinking Chinese medicine.

This time, because he didn't smell the strong fragrance, his mouth produced saliva and his tongue felt tight.

Old Chen tasted the sweetness of black tea while pinching his nose, and he could also feel some astringency of the tea leaves. Gradually, the tongue began to feel numb, and the numbness lasted for a while before he tasted a light sweetness of green tea.

"Fragrance..."

According to Lord Fuli's way of drinking tea, Old Chen suddenly felt the inferiority of this tea, his eyes lit up, and he understood why Lord Fuli could use inferior raw materials to fry such high-end quality good tea.

The problem is in the fragrance. The fragrance is so strong that it makes people feel thirsty, and the mouth secretes saliva, as well as a tightness, combined with the strong fragrance lingering in the nasal cavity, temporarily deceiving people's sense of taste.

Although it is deceptive, it does not prevent Old Chen from feeling that the quality of this tea is really good.

No... it should be said that the tea master's craftsmanship is good.

This flamboyant operation is really flamboyant, and I don't know which heartless bastard studied this kind of tea-frying technique. Looking at his bear appearance, he is the kind of black-hearted merchant who specializes in acquiring inferior raw materials and frying them with fierce fire to sell to customers.

Of course!

Old Chen didn't doubt Lord Fuli. In his traditional impression, Lord Fuli is an ultimate fierce bandit who grabs guns to eat and engages in international tax-free business. How could he look at the profit of selling tea leaves in the past?

He should have seen this method before, so he could replicate it in Zhangxizhen.

"Lord Fuli, this tea should be stable. As long as you pay attention to the tea temperature not dropping and the aroma not decreasing, you can at least get a ranking of about top five."

【It's fine if it can be selected. You help me hang this tea under Xueqing's name and sign up for the Tea Competition together with the old guy's tea! Anyway, they are all tea leaves from the same tea garden, just different tea masters, and the qualification certificate can be used the same.】

An Sheng sighed long.

It's outrageous... it can actually be used as essence.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being a fox spirit?
