"Ahem, thank you system for helping me become a chef." Yuan Zhou did not look at the ingredients immediately, but said seriously.
After finishing speaking, Yuanzhou looked for the raw materials just provided by the system.
On the wooden door of a small cabinet at the top, Yuanzhou saw a large word "tea" written on it, which was written in seal script and had a very ancient feel.
"That's a good calligraphy." Yuan Zhou looked at it and then opened the cabinet.
"Hey, no, I didn't wear gloves." Yuan Zhou remembered that he didn't wear gloves and didn't wash his hands, so he immediately washed his hands again and put on a pair of gloves.
Of course, this is provided by the system. The gloves are very thin and fit well, and do not affect the touch very much. However, Yuan Zhou does not wear them often.
It’s just that this time I need to touch the tea leaves before using it, and I only wear it on one hand, so that no trace of flavor remains on the tea leaves, maintaining the most fundamental tea flavor.
"That's it." Yuan Zhou opened the wooden door with his ungloved left hand.
Immediately, a refreshing fragrance hit your nostrils, like orchid beans, cleansing and smelling good.
"It's really refreshing." Yuan Zhou carefully grabbed a handful with his gloved hand and put it into the prepared bowl.
Of course, after grabbing three handfuls, Yuanzhou closed the wooden door to prevent any more aroma from spreading out.
The bowl was a jade-white soup bowl with no pattern on it that Yuan Zhou held, but the tea leaves in it were all green Longjing tea leaves.
Yes, it is Longjing, Yuanzhou can still see this.
"Sure enough, it's Mingqian Longjing. Last time I said it was only a few taels." Yuan Zhou complained in a low voice.
The system displayed the words: "Spring has arrived again, and new tea has been harvested."
What is rare is that the system gave an explanation that was not an explanation this time.
"I know, I know, the system can do anything." Yuan Zhou flattered him seriously.
After saying that, Yuanzhou's attention turned to the tea leaves in front of him.
The tea leaves in the bowl were flat and tender green, with beautiful strip shapes and basically the same width. You could feel the tenderness of the leaves through gloves.
The break was also clean and neat, without any pinch marks, which reminded Yuan Zhou of a legend.
"Wait a minute, system, did you pick the tea leaves by an unmarried woman, or did you pick them with your lips?" Yuan Zhou asked with a shocked look on his face.
The system now reads: "The temperature of the mouth will destroy the protective film on the surface of the tea."
"That means denying it? That's good." Yuan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Zhou did not object to using a girl who was just eighteen years old to pick tea leaves. After all, the little girl had light hands and gentle movements, but forget about her lips.
"It's time to boil the water now." Yuanzhou muttered to himself, and then began the process of frying tea.
The tea leaves were so fresh and tender that you could even see the dew on them, so Yuan Zhou did not wash them, but directly boiled a pot of spring water and poured the tea leaves into it.
Yes, pour it in. Yuanzhou poured the tea leaves directly into the boiling water. A strong fragrance immediately emerged from the pot of water.
The small shop was immediately filled with the aroma of tea.
"It smells really good." Yuan Zhou sighed and immediately picked up the tea leaves with a wooden colander.
At this time, the tea leaves showed a tender yellow-green color. The leaves were slightly wilted, but they were still very fresh and tender. The transparent water in the pot had a light brown color.
The fragrance is long and pleasant.
"Wow!" Yuan Zhou gently moved his wrist, using the strength of his wrist to filter out the excess water, and then poured it directly into a plate with a slightly deeper mouth.
"Swish, swish, swish" Yuan Zhou quickly picked up the seasonings prepared on the table, sprinkled in chili pepper, well salt, peach vinegar and sugar in sequence, and sprinkled them directly on the young tea leaves.
Finally, Yuanzhou quickly stirred it a few times with odor-avoiding chopsticks.
"Okay, the cold tea should taste good." Yuan Zhou looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction.
Just when Yuan Zhou was about to try the food, the system suddenly spoke.
The system displayed the words: "What is this?"
"Cold tea, it looks good, right?" Yuan Zhou said naturally.
The system now reads: "Isn't the host roasting tea leaves?"
"Yes, this is indeed fried tea." Yuan Zhou nodded seriously.
"Of course, it's just that this speculation is not that speculation." Yuan Zhou continued.
The system now reads: "This is Mingqian Longjing. The annual output is less than one catty, which is five hundred grams."
"I know, it's just about making good tea that tastes good, and using the best raw materials to produce the best dishes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
The expression on Yuan Zhou's face was very proud and proud, after all, the cold tea looked very good like this.
The aroma is pleasant, and it also exudes a feeling of coming and eating me.
The system was silent for a long time. Just when Yuan Zhou thought he would not speak again, the system suddenly displayed a paragraph in English.
System current word: "mmp"
"System, are you swearing?" Yuan Zhou asked in surprise.
The system turned a deaf ear and Yuan Zhou spoke again.
"So you know how to swear?"
"No, how can you say dirty words."
However, the system seemed to be dead and there was no response at all.
"Isn't it really possible?" Yuan Zhou muttered, but the system still turned a deaf ear.
"Forget it, let's try the taste of my cold Longjing." Yuan Zhou put aside his in-depth study of the system of sudden convulsions and decided to return to the topic.
"Ah woo" Yuan Zhou picked up a handful of tea leaves and stuffed them into his mouth.
Before chewing it, the fragrance of tea mixed with the spiciness of chili immediately spread in your mouth.
After "Ba Chi Bar Chi" is chewed, the leaves have a slightly slippery and crunchy feel. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, without any bitter taste.
There is only a feeling of sweetness with a hint of bitterness, but under the guidance of the sour and spicy taste, it immediately turns into a unique flavor.
On the contrary, it makes the taste of this cold Longjing dish more rich and layered.
"It's delicious. It's true that tea leaves are more refreshing when eaten like this." Yuan Zhou sighed with satisfaction, very satisfied with his masterpiece.
"Ah wu, ah wu" Yuan Zhou took several bites in succession and started eating.
The more he eats, the more satisfied he becomes. You must know that Yuan Zhou does not like to drink tea, and the system rewards only provide the method of making tea from Yuqian Longjing, so this is the only tea ceremony he has.
But eating it this way, Yuan Zhou said he still liked it.
"Tasting delicious food and relieving spring sleepiness kill two birds with one stone. I'm really a genius." Yuan Zhou looked at the cold Longjing dish with only half the plate left with satisfaction.
At this moment, someone came in hastily, one or two.
"Boss Xiao Yuan, are you here? I have brought you good news." This angry voice was undoubtedly that of the old man.
"I told you not to run so fast. Boss Yuan must be here since the door is open." The voice belonged to Wang Shuyuan, who had not been here for a while.
By the way, these two people not only love eating, but also love tea. I don’t know what the purpose of these two people coming together is.
