Chapter 180: Xia Dong Fox knows how to brew tea, is it strange

"I fuck—"

Looking at the tea cup in front of him, Old Chen from the tea factory opened his mouth in a daze and muttered a dirty word in a low voice.

It wasn't just Old Chen from the tea factory; other tea guests and tea merchants surrounding the front of the tea stall were in a daze throughout the whole process, their mouths never closed, looking at the fox with dazed faces.

They simply couldn't believe what they had just seen.

A little fox brewed a pot of tea for everyone.

Never mind whether it tastes good or not, the act of a little fox brewing tea alone was enough to drop everyone's jaws.

"Sss-slurp..."

After experiencing the initial shock, Old Chen from the tea factory looked at the tea cup handed over by Aqing. The tea soup inside was golden and inclined to a deep color. Although the tea base was slightly turbid, this situation was also normal; the trial tea was only to test the craftsmanship, so naturally, there wouldn't be any very precious tea greens.

Although the soup color was not the authentic golden yellow, the rich orchid and peanut kernel fragrance had already lingered in the nasal cavity, enticing people's desire to taste it.

The front end of the tea soup entering the mouth was the flavor of deep roasting. When the smoky and fiery taste gradually dissipated and the taste buds in the mouth reopened, the shallow coconut fragrance and natural freshness naturally permeated the mouth, which was very enjoyable.

The touch of sweetness at the end made the tea factory owner show an amazing expression.

Overall, this deep-roasted Tieguanyin had reached the standard for market sale; it was a proper product, not the trial work full of astringency and alkaline taste from before.

"Tea cup... the sweetness is the effect of the tea cup, not something Tieguanyin brings itself!"

After a brief tasting, a tea merchant who had tasted both the trial Tieguanyin and the blended Tieguanyin spoke softly, pointing out the secret of why the tea soup changed.

They are all practitioners in this line of work. They not only need to understand the common sense and knowledge of tea, but also understand the things related to tea leaves.

The thing most closely related to tea is naturally the tea set.

The function of tea cup is to keep warm and change the water quality. The tea soup flowing through the tea cup comes into contact with chemical substances, which will make ordinary tap water carry a clear sweetness like mountain spring water.

"Yo ho! You have some chemical knowledge, but these are all backward techniques. In the circle of our past life, ozone generators were already used to pump ozone into the water to change the water quality and remove impurities."

Seeing someone point out the secret of the sweetness, An Sheng immediately showed a cunning fox smile and said with full confidence.

Water is the mother of tea.

Like drinking Longjing tea from the core production area, it cannot be brewed with ordinary water, but must be brewed with the local Hupao Spring. The Longjing tea brewed not only enhances the original flavor of Longjing, but also makes people feel as if it has a thick feeling like porridge, and can leave a lasting fragrance.

Playing with tea to the end is playing with water.

"Holy shit..."

By the time all the tea guests and tea merchants present had tasted An Sheng's blended traditional and new-tech Tieguanyin, they all couldn't help but show dumbfounded expressions.

Whether the tea soup is good or not, it is clear at a glance.

An Sheng is just able to turn that pile of shit into a proper tea that can be drunk and meets the production standards.

"Xiao An..."

After tasting it, Yu Xueqing looked straight at her little fox, her eyes filled with inquiry.

"It was all taught by Old Chen! Before, when roasting tea, he would mutter in my ear, saying how could there be a Master Fuli of Zhangxizhen who doesn't know how to brew tea? It was all taught by him!"

Facing Aqing's clear, neighborly girl-like face, An Sheng pushed his skills onto Old Chen without hesitation.

'I know! I know this question! When we were making tea greens before, Fox Fox went to watch, wow! Village Chief Grandpa grabbed Fox Fox and said, how could there be a Zhangxi Fox Fox who doesn't know how to brew tea? Fox Fox finished reading "Tea Identification, Brewing, and Tasting", "Collection of Ancient Xia Dong Tea Books", "Edible Flavoring Technique", and "Spice and Herb Cooking Diary" in three days.'

The little fox's words, after being translated, reached Yu Xueqing's mind, making Yu Xueqing stunned.

It's just that.

An Sheng wasn't purely lying. The black-hearted tea company he worked for in the past treated employees like cattle and horses, and even sales staff had to get certified before they could transfer or get promoted.

He really had certificates for food safety officer, food flavorist, and tea artist, but later he couldn't transfer, so An Sheng ran away quickly and roasted his own cyberpunk tea leaves.

"Aqing, we should run away. If we don't run, I'm afraid the tea factory uncle will want to buy me social security."

An Sheng didn't care about the expressions of the tea guests and tea merchants; his main energy was on watching the live broadcast room.

Aqing said she wanted to do something, so let's do it. As the dignified Master Fuli of Zhangxizhen, what's strange about knowing how to brew tea? Isn't this common sense that Xia Dong children possess at the age of three?

He is of the cyber-tech school, they are of the traditional school, or the black-hearted blending school.

"No, your eyes are weird!"

An Sheng saw the tea stall owner's eyes, as if they were all asking: "Which level of social security do you want? I'll match you with medical insurance later, plus a bonus, okay?"

An Sheng's fox chrysanthemum tightened immediately, and he hurriedly ran from the tea table to Aqing's shoulder, urging her to leave quickly.

Working?

Haven't I worked enough in my past life? Two years as a grandson, four years as a salesperson, one year running mountains, three years selling tea leaves.

I feel that Aqing feeding me is quite good; I really don't need to reserve a job position for me.

"That... Uncle, we are leaving first. Fox Fox said that process improvement can look at blending; that seems to have more development prospects."

Aqing picked up her little fox and said to Old Chen from the tea factory, and then, as if the Overlord of Western Chu was wielding his Overlord Halberd, she slashed through the sea of people, squeezed out against the flow, and walked out.

Old Chen from the tea factory looked at Aqing who had walked away, and then looked at the messy tea table. He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Damn! Just now I was busy watching the fun and forgot to look at the ratio!"

The blending method An Sheng just used is not something new in tea art.

In some tea categories, there is a tea-tasting method that retains the tea soup from the first wash for blending.

The blending method An Sheng used already belongs to the category of flavoring, and the ratio is a very important thing.

Especially correcting the taste of a rotten tea by adding some similar tea leaves is a technical job.

In his past life, An Sheng couldn't do this without using essence.

But the current An Sheng is a fox with a keen sense of smell. Even if the tea hasn't been brewed, An Sheng can distinguish all the fragrance types and use his past life's flavorist knowledge to blend out the tea fragrance.

"Xiao An is really great! He actually knows how to blend drinks, but the Village Chief is really bad! He actually tricked Xiao An into memorizing books!"

Over at the tea stall, because of the fox's blended tea performance, a herd effect had already formed, people squeezing people. Yu Xueqing squeezed out from inside, picked up the little fox, rubbed it hard, and kissed its little cheek gently to express her love.

"Ah?"

Old Chen, who was patrolling the field on the side, vaguely heard Aqing pointing at him. He was completely dazed, looking at Aqing and the Master Fuli she held up:

"I... what did I do again?"
