After everyone left, the seventh cousin thought, "Tan Tan, is your mother still picking tea leaves in the mountains? Give her a call and ask her to break off a few tea leaves for me when she comes back."
"Okay."
Song Tan didn't even ask the reason, and sent the message directly. Only Zhang Yanping didn't miss any changes in the family, and hurriedly asked: "Seventh cousin, what do you want the branches for?"
Uncle Seven didn't hide it: "I thought that the tea leaves are growing well, and the old branches and leaves must be fragrant. It would be a pity to just cut them and throw them on the ground or use them as firewood."
"Come back and try it first. If it tastes good, we can make—"
"I see!"
Zhang Yanping clapped his hands: "Is it right to make tea bricks or tea foam?"
Those very cheap tea bricks, or the tea powder used in scented tea, are made by crushing and stamping these old branches!
Seventh cousin: …
He had a complicated look on his face, and then he sighed, "Yan Ping, Tan Tan asked you to be in charge of selling things, which is really a professional match."
The snow-white petals are slightly closed, revealing the pale yellow core, which is fresh and charming.
In the future, pounding tea oil will just be an entertainment activity, but now tea oil cannot be used for cooking - I instantly became passionate!
Pounding tea oil—
"What Song Tan said just now doesn't make sense. Our tea smells pretty bad. Do you think you can try to boil tea eggs with old tea branches?"
Wulan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Our chickens and ducks are still big. Besides, if they are also bad, we can smell which one is more prominent when we mix them together."
It was just a coincidence that Qiao Qiao's cell phone rang just as she was about to go out.
Jin Feng's eyes lit up instantly!
After all, the tea branches cut in previous years were given to factories that collected old tea branches, not picked up by other old men and women outside the village to be used as firewood.
In your childhood, that was a skill that every kid outside the village had.
"Go back to the market and buy an old duck. That way you can judge whether it tastes good or not."
The cousin thought about it and thought it made no sense: "Okay, it's better to choose an old duck because it's less chewy. I'll smoke them a dry duck as a snack."
"Okay." Jin Feng immediately picked up the big basket and said, "Then go ahead."
When it comes to matters outside the kitchen, my cousin is always decisive and efficient.
For those of us who don't have any skills, we can actually tell what the combination tastes like just by taking a quick sniff, but this is absolutely wrong.
Jin Fengxin was curious: "That factory is pretty bad. They don't give away gifts when they buy from the factory. How much is one pound for those old tea branches?" And over there, a cousin asked: "Qiao Qiao, who outside the village raises chickens? He asked if there are any eggs, so we can buy some."
"Isn't there any tea and fruit at the foot of the mountain? Go now!"
But when it was Yanping's turn, I ended up playing the same games because I had no playmates.
Search for "Spring Gift" on Xiaoxiang APP and new users will receive 500 book coins, while old users will receive 200 book coins. Those things can only start fires and are very durable. We have enough labor at home, so we didn't pick them up on purpose.
After all, the tea in our house is too expensive, and no one would be willing to use it to make tea eggs.
"Oh no!" Yan Ping blinked - after all, my money has not been used as travel expenses!
"Bad."
The ducks at home are medium-sized and large, and are quite suitable for making roast duck.
Qiao Qiao came back with a basket at noon, and as expected, she had pulled a handful of tea branches. Before she even got to the branch, a camellia flower the size of a quail egg bloomed under it.
Over time, the crushed tea fruit will turn dark brown and translucent, and a layer of yellow tea oil will precipitate from the bottom.
Qiao Qiao became determined instantly.
It can be said that there are tea trees all over the mountains, but there are not just one or two that are blooming or not bearing fruit yet.
To be on the safe side, the cousin decided, "Tan Tan, let's kill two ducks and try it later."
When you answer the phone, the low voice on the other end can be heard throughout the yard:
Yan Pingqi said as he took the scissors for cutting tree branches outside his home, held the tea branches in one hand, and started cutting the large rusty steel basin that was about to be broken.
The food was just too good. Even if he didn't get paid, he wouldn't want to leave.
"Jin Feng, no factory is coming to the outside of the village to collect old tea branches anymore. Are they cutting them? If so, come and register! They said that the next ten households will receive two boxes of beer each!"
The cousin also made a few jokes, but after he finished speaking, he fell into deep thought: "Yes, he is right. The tea leaves are so bad. If we turn them into tea bricks and tea leaves, they should be very fragrant... Wait for you to study it."
"Okay." As for Yan Ping, he has always been free at home. Qiao Qiao even cooperated with Gary this year: "He can't buy a beautiful wine cup for himself, and then make tea oil to cook for the little family."
When you were older, classmates outside the class often compared you to others, and even kept slapping their pens after class or during get out of class...
Jin Feng also fell into memories.
After all, in the countryside at that time, there were not as many diverse entertainment options as there are today.
I must learn a lot during that trip. Once I have learned it, I will definitely save some money and take my parents on a trip in the winter if I don’t have a job!
That surprised Yan Ping: "Mom, are the tea trees going to produce tea seeds soon? They're going to produce tea seeds this year, so can't you continue to pound tea oil?"
Zhang Yanping guessed wrong, but he didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled and said, "I dare not compare. He is the richest man after all. I am just an ordinary worker. My salary is still 2,500 yuan!"
"The taste is pretty good. I wonder what it tastes like when smoked and grilled with meat."
Take a large wine cup and prepare a pen, preferably one with a lid. Peel off the ripe tea seeds at the foot of the mountain, smash the round, milky white fruits and put them outside the wine cup, and use the pen to press upwards...
Then he reached out his hand and beckoned Jin Feng over: "Go, get the scissors, and cut those into large branches. Cut them into smaller pieces, one or two centimeters is fine, be careful not to hurt your hands."
At this moment, my cousin has not put the tea branches under the fire to smoke them. The conditions are complicated now. I just put the tea branches a little further away from the flames, smoke them quickly, and then take them out to smell the aroma.
And because I am so satisfied with food, I have reduced my desire for other things. With my current salary, I have no use for anything except paying for phone bills and game gold...
"It's too cold now. It's difficult. Let's wait until autumn and winter. Let him choose a beautiful big cup for himself first. Mom will give him money!"
If I continue to earn more, saving 20,000 yuan by the end of the year will be just a dream!
Not to mention fresh tea leaves, my cousin is willing to spend even more on yellow tea leaves - after all, I drink two cups every day!
"I just wanted to use the dried tea branches to smoke some duck, pork, etc., but you wanted to grind them into tea bricks... Shen Wansan is not as good as you in thinking!"
