Chapter 1101 An Investment
After sending Bai Yi away, Xiao Yi called Zhang Bing, and the two discussed how to carry out the tea garden's publicity work. When the two were discussing the plan, Sophie called Xiao Yi Call and tell Xiao Yi a news.
City S is going to hold a charity performance, that is, a performance without any appearance fee. Sophie received the invitation and became a guest of the charity performance. Since returning, Sophie has rejected several concerts. This time, the charity performance, Sophie couldn't refuse.
Previously, he was worrying about how to solve the problem of publicity. After receiving a call from Sophie, Xiao Yi immediately had a solution in his mind. He discussed it with Zhang Bing to see if this solution would work.
The two sat on the sofa, Zhang Bing frowned, thinking about Xiao Yi's solution in his heart, after thinking for a long time, Zhang Bing spoke.
"Xiao Yi, are you really going to decide to do this? This is our first batch of tea leaves. If there is no effect at all, this is a loss-making business."
Zhang Bing and Xiao Yi said that Xiao Yi's method is completely tantamount to shorting investment. It would be a pity if the first batch of tea leaves were just scattered like this.
Xiao Yi has his own considerations. In terms of tea, since the first batch of new tea can be planted, there will naturally be a second batch. With this kind of tea planting technology, except for Xiao Yi, no one in China can find a second one.
"I've already figured it out. There's a saying called putting a long line to catch big fish. If Sophie participates in the charity performance, there will definitely be many fans at the scene. To me, these people are the best customers."
"Okay, since it's Xiao Yi, you've already made up your mind, we'll just do what you said. Ever since I followed you, you've never made a mistake in what you do. This time, I'll try my best to follow what you said. do it."
Zhang Bing knew that doing this was tantamount to making a loss. Xiao Yi's decision had never made a mistake. This time, he just followed what Xiao Yi said.
Every few months, City S will hold a benefit performance, the purpose of which is to promote some culture of City S. Some of the local celebrities in City S are invited, and some are other stars.
The charity performance is of course free, without any performance fee. Until this afternoon, the list of participating charity performances was announced, and Sophie was also on the list. Many Sophie's fans followed suit and began to act.
Sophie hadn't shown up for a week. Many fans were looking forward to Sophie's new song. Knowing that Sophie was going to appear in the benefit performance this time, they all came to S city.
The time for the charity performance is the morning of the day after tomorrow. At that time, some famous people from S city will appear, including the leaders of S city. The location of the charity performance is the cultural square in S city. There is a stage built there, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. .
When Sophie's fans were moving, the tea garden also started to take action. The first batch of new tea, in Zhao San's anticipation, finally came to pick the time, and all the workers in the tea garden moved, hanging in their arms. With a basket, pick off the tea bud tips that are suitable for picking.
Veteran tea farmer Zhao San, who has been growing tea all his life, has never imagined that his tea garden can produce such high-quality tea. The process of picking tea is full of smiles from ear to ear. About half of them have been harvested, and the remaining half has not been picked.
This time, a total of 450 catties were picked. These tea leaves are only raw tea, and they have to be roasted before they can be sold on the market. Zhao San is the only one who can stir-fry tea here. After stepping on the tea leaves, Zhao San can't wait to start the next process.
Fried tea is divided into raw pot, second green pot, and cooked pot. The three pots are connected and operated sequentially. The tea-frying pot uses an ordinary pan, which is built into a three-pot-connected frying-tea stove, and the pot is inclined at 25-30 degrees. The fried tea broom is made of moso bamboo, about 1 meter long, and the diameter of one end of the bamboo branch is about 10 cm.
Stir-frying is a term that refers to the method of using low heat to wither the tea leaves in a pot during the production of tea leaves, and through manual rolling to quickly evaporate the water in the tea leaves, blocking the fermentation process of the tea leaves and making the tea juice The process of fully retaining the essence, it can be said that the key to frying tea is in this process.
Old tea farmers fry tea in three sentences, the first pot is full and the pot is full, the second pot is full of strength, and the third pot is hard. The raw pot mainly plays the role of killing greens, and the amount of leaves depends on the level of pot temperature and operation technology. The stir-frying method is to use a tea broom to rotate and stir-fry in the pot. The leaves follow the rotation and turn to lose water evenly when heated. The rotation should be fast, force evenly, and shake the tea leaves for about 1-2 minutes. When the leaves are soft and dark green, they can be swept into the second pot.
The Erqing pot mainly plays the role of continuing to finish greening and preliminary kneading, and the temperature of the pot is slightly lower than that of the raw pot. Because the friction between the tea and the wall of the pot is relatively large, the force should be greater than that of the raw pot, so it is necessary to "bring strength" to make the leaves rotate in the pot with the broom of the fried tea, and start to roll into strips. Group, through the hot air. When the leaves shrunk into strips and the tea juice sticks to the leaves and feels sticky, it can be swept into the cooking pot.
The cooked pot is mainly used to further make thin tea sticks, and the temperature of the pot is lower than that of the Erqing pot, about 130-150°C. At this time, the leaves are relatively soft. Use a tea broom to stir-fry a few times, and the leaves will get into the inner bamboo branches, which is conducive to making strips. After shaking slightly, the leaves will scatter into the pot again.
Repeated operations like this make the leaves swallow and puff inside and outside the bamboo broom, skillfully combining dehydration and kneading into strips. This is obviously different from the tea-making technique of frying green tea and then kneading it. It can not only take advantage of the softer leaves and good plasticity under hot and humid conditions to promote the formation of thick and old leaves, but also overcome cold kneading into broken stems, fragments, and dew. Muscle and other ills. Stir-fry until the strands are tight and thin, with a tea aroma, and about 30% to 40% dry, then you can take it out of the pan.
Zhang Bing took a few newcomers and stood in the middle of the tea frying room, watching the old tea farmers fry tea. When the old tea farmers started working, they didn't look old at all. Stir-fried tea leaves, while explaining to Zhang Bing what needs to be paid attention to during the process of frying tea.
"The most important thing about frying tea is to grasp the heat, the force of frying tea, and the control of time. Although many machines have appeared to replace manual operations, the real good tea still needs this kind of cooking. It can only be fried with traditional techniques.”
The old tea farmer and Zhang Bing explained, and Zhang Bing wrote down one by one. This was all learned from the old tea farmer’s life experience. The old tea farmer told Zhang Bing everything he knew. Zhang Bing felt that if he learned it, he would not be able to remember it. If you can't help it, I'm sorry for the painstaking efforts of the old tea farmer.
