At the north of Xiyang County, at the junction of Biancheng County, there are long and low hills, and they all look green. Unlike other places, the plants on the mountain buns are not kudzu or hemp or mulberry trees, but tea trees.

The gentle spring breeze blows through this dense tea garden. Looking around, the tea trees all over the mountains are like rows of neat military formations, covering the entire hillside, and the tea garden covering an area of ​​1,000 acres is like a green ocean.

In the courtyard in a corner of the tea garden, the owner of the tea garden is in the attic. Huangzhou Chief Shi Hao and Wu Bo are treating guests. The guests here include Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, Badong County Magistrate Xu Shao, and Huangzhou General Manager Sima Yang Ji.

"There are mountains and waters, Santai River is nearby, and cargo ships are convenient to travel. The scenery of Chengye's villa is good."

Hearing Yuwen Wen's admiration, Hao Wu Bo bowed: "Where is, compared with the king's lakeside manor, the tea garden below is inferior to that."

"There is water or mountains in my place, which is not as good as the tea garden on the east side of Sizong. The lake and mountains are so beautiful that it makes people linger. If you have the opportunity, you have to go for a walk."

"When the king goes, he has to bring Yang Sima with him and then give instructions on the tea making process. In the tea gardens in Xiahe Chengye, thanks to Yang Sima's guidance, the results are now."

Everyone here is their own people, and Yuwen Wen is very interested. Today, everyone is here to discuss it as a private person and taste the newly made tea from Haojia Tea Garden. After years of thinking, the tea made from the new technology is finally coming out.

He has been in office in Huangzhou (Bazhou) for more than six years. As important assistants, Xu Shao and Hao Wu Bo have made great efforts. Not only are they smooth sailing in their careers, but their progress in their "money careers" has also made great progress.

Hydraulic Textiles, Xu Shao and Hao Wubo both have cloth shops in Huangzhou, and the upcoming tea trade has not been left behind. The large-scale tea gardens that are deployed in advance are the most powerful guarantee for the two companies to make money.

Huangzhou has built water conservancy facilities, and many wastelands have been reclaimed into farmland. Yuwen Wen organized manpower to develop barren mountains, large-scale mulberry, hemp and bamboo, but he specially "instructed" Hao Wubo and Xu Shao to develop barren mountains to plant tea trees.

Tea drinking is prevalent in the south, and tea gardens of all sizes can be seen everywhere in the southern part of Shannan. Hao Wubo also has tea gardens at home. There are many varieties of good tea trees, all of which are transplanted into tea gardens in Huangzhou.

By taking advantage of their interactions with the village leaders in the Dabie Mountains, Xu Shao and Hao Wubo tried every means to search for good tea trees in the mountains. Over the years, they found many tea species, all of which were transplanted to Huangzhou tea garden for cultivation.

After years of hard work, Xu Shao and Hao Wubo’s tea gardens have entered a period of high yield. Unlike other tea gardens, the tea making process has changed. The two never thought that there are so many tea considerations.

From the time I remember, Hao Wu Bo knew that tea had to be "cooked" before it could be drunk. He also had to add ingredients such as green onion, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint and other ingredients to cover up the green grassy smell in the tea.

Northerners say that tea is a "water disaster", and most of them are not used to the mixed taste of tea. Hao Wu Bo originally thought that the flavor of tea could not be changed, but someone gave me some advice.

The man was Yuwen Wen and Yang Ji. What they said about finishing, rolling and drying. Xu Shao and Hao Wu Bo seemed to understand, but they didn't seem to understand.

The so-called finishing is to process the picked fresh tea leaves. They are usually dried and pressed into cakes to store. They need to be taken out and cut and cooked. The process of drying is called drying.

What Yuwen Wen said is "fried" green, which means putting a certain amount of fresh tea into an iron pot and stir-frying.

Of course, the iron pot is the kind of cooking utensil that has only appeared in Huangzhou in recent years, and this tea making process is simply incredible: put the fresh and tender tea leaves into the pot, so how can the treated tea be drunk?

There is also rolling. According to Yang Ji's demonstration, the tea leaves are actually rolled into strips, instead of squeezed together to press them into tea cakes. After drying, such loose tea is soaked in boiling water and then put into the mouth without any ingredients.

It is "bubble" rather than "cook", but it is also called "making tea". Hao Wubo and Xu Shao have never seen or heard of this kind of tea making technology and drinking tea. After trying it once, they found that the flavors are indeed different.

The tea brewed through a series of new craftsmanship tastes mellow and delicious. Without the interference of ingredients, the true taste of the tea leaves is fascinating, and it will taste a little different flavor when you carefully taste it.

The tea making process seems very simple, but it is very complicated to make. First of all, the fried greens are fried, the heat is not well mastered or the time is too long or too short, which will have a catastrophic impact on the quality of the tea.

When rubbing, the strength is very particular. If you can't handle it well, it will easily break the tea leaves, and it can also be divided into cold and hot kneading.

The so-called cold kneading means that the green leaves are cured and twisted after being cooled; hot kneading means that the green leaves are cured while it is hot without being cooled. After countless research, they have mastered the kneading process.

Then there is drying, there are three methods: drying, frying and drying. It was also tried many times before we found a suitable drying process.

After such a complex tea making process, the tea leaves made are loose tea, which is completely different from the common tum tea (tea cake). It has removed the bitter taste of grass and does not require adding ingredients to cover it.

The tea brewed has a flavor that is unforgettable after being tasted, and there are few competitors to famous teas in the world!

But the surprises are not only there, there are also ways to make tea. The whole process makes people fascinated by it. Yuwen Wen gave these processes an elegant name called "Tea Art".

How to do it is demonstrated by Yang Ji. Hao Wubo and Xu Shao are increasingly interested in the origin of this person, because Yang Ji seems to know everything about astronomy and geography.

The mysterious and Yuwen Wen all day long are all mysterious. I don’t know what adventures these two have, so that they have many wonderful ideas.

"The Buddha said: You cannot say it, you cannot say it." Yuwen Wen took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If you want to say it, you have to say it for three days and three nights. Today, we ordinary people will talk about some common things."

"If merchants in Huangzhou and surrounding areas want to travel far to do business and make a lot of money, they need reliable escort forces, so the establishment of an escort business is imperative. So after spending so much money to hire an escort, they have to sell some valuable goods. What are these goods?"

"Books, cloths, soaps, are not enough, so white porcelain that cannot be burned elsewhere or cannot be burned at low cost is a powerful tool for Huangzhou merchants to make money."

When Yuwen Wen said this, he picked up the tea cup in his hand and looked carefully: "If you sell porcelain alone, you can't buy a high price. If you make a set, you can sell it. The selling price can be a few percent higher, such as tea sets."

"A set of tea sets, including tea bamboo shoots, tea pots, tea houses, tea stoves, tea roasts, tea cauldrons, tea cups. Therefore, if the white porcelain in Huangzhou is made into tea sets, it can be sold at a higher price. Then wouldn't it be a pity for such tea sets not to make tea?"

Xu Shao smiled and raised his glass: "It is a one plus one to three. I admire the king's wonderful ideas."

"The Grain Rain has passed, and the tea made according to the new law was sold out soon. Chengye's thousand-acre tea garden earned less than ten million yuan, and Sizong's side was similar. This is just the first season."
