Chapter 266 Promotion of Black Tea
Wei Ruo opened the small jar and scooped out the black tea leaves inside with a small spoon.
When they saw the color of the tea leaves, everyone's faces showed varying degrees of confusion.
Why are these tea leaves black?
Generally, tea leaves will turn black if they are not stored properly, or if the heat is not properly controlled during frying, right?
Wei Ruo knew what everyone was wondering about, but she did not explain it, but concentrated on the work she was doing.
The process of making milk tea is not complicated. The caramel is fried in advance, put it in, add water and boil it, then add the black tea, boil it for a while and then add the milk. When it boils again, you can remove the teapot from the stove. .
Wei Ruo placed the tea cup and poured the milk tea into it. The teapot already had a filter, so there was no need to worry about the tea leaves pouring out, and there was no need to prepare an extra steamer cloth for filtering.
Wei Ruo poured out six cups and gave one cup to Xu Yaojun and the five nearest girls.
Xu Yaojun looked at the tea cup in her hand and hesitated whether to try it.
Yuan Jiuniang also got the milk tea given by Wei Ruo. Out of her trust in Wei Ruo, she took the first sip.
When she first entered the room, Yuan Jiuniang had no reaction.
Everyone looked at her curiously, and even Wei Qingwan, who had resisted coming over to watch Wei Ruo make tea, couldn't help but poke her head out to take a look.
After a while, Yuan Jiuniang's face showed a look of joy, and then she gave a favorable comment: "It tastes delicious! It has a milky, sweet, and tea aroma, and the taste is very rich!" Hearing what Yuan Jiuniang said, Xu Yaojun's
curiosity My heart was also aroused.
In addition, she also saw the process of Wei Ruo making tea just now. What he put in were all common things, except that the tea leaves were a bit dark and did not look like good tea.
Xu Yaojun took a small sip into her mouth and savored it carefully.
It feels good! Xu Yaojun was a little surprised, and then took another sip, wanting to taste its taste more carefully.
"It's really delicious!" Xu Yaojun commented.
After saying that, Xu Yaojun raised her head and looked at Wei Ruo. It could be said that this was the first time she had truly looked at Wei Ruo with appreciative eyes.
Although she had said many nice things to Wei Ruo before, none of them were actually sincere.
Even though Wei Ruo's poems during the last outing attracted widespread praise from everyone, she didn't think Wei Ruo had much ability, it was just that she could use Wei Qingwan's existence to make her angry.
Xu Yaojun said so, and the few remaining people who got the milk tea began to taste it without ceremony.
Several people who tasted it also expressed their opinions. Some people thought it was good, some thought it was novel, but no one said it tasted bad.
Yuan Jiuniang asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, what's going on with your tea? Why is it black?"
Yuan Jiuniang asked everyone's confusion, and everyone was also curious about this question.
"This is black tea. The production method is slightly different from the green tea that everyone usually drinks. It will taste less astringent than green tea and has a softer texture. It is more suitable for making milk tea." Wei Ruo explained.
"Black tea? This is the first time I've heard that there are also black tea leaves." Yuan Jiuniang said.
"This tea just appeared not long ago. It is said that some hermits came up with a new method to preserve tea more conveniently. It has only slowly spread this year, so not many people know about it." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Ruo thought of an origin for black tea, specifically saying that it was invented by a hermit to add some elegance to black tea. If it was said that it was invented by country women, I am afraid that some pampered people may have some disgust in their hearts and affect them. The mood of drinking tea.
"Miss Wei, where did you buy this black tea? I also want to buy some for my family to try." Yuan Jiuniang said.
Yuan Jiuniang started, followed by several others who also agreed to buy some. "I also want to buy some, and I can make milk tea like Miss Wei when I go back." "I
have milking buffaloes in my pasture, and they give me milk every day. I'm tired of drinking it, so it just goes with this black tea." Let’s have a change of taste together.”
"..."
Wei Ruodao: "I also bought it from someone else, but I heard that Yu Sheng Tea Garden is making a large amount of black tea, and I think I can buy it in a while." Of course
Wei Ruo can't sell tea under the guise of being the daughter of the school captain's house . , loquat ointment is medicine, it makes sense for her to make some herself and sell it, but selling tea cannot be justified, so at this time, Wei Ruo only needs to tell everyone where to buy it.
"Yusheng Tea Garden? Isn't that the tea house?" Xu Yaojun said.
So Xu Yaojun called the maid over to ask about the situation: "Does your tea house sell black tea?"
The maid shook her head in denial: "Our tea house never sells black tea, and I don't know what black tea is."
After hearing this, Xu Yaojun turned around and looked at Wei Ruo : "There seems to be something wrong with Miss Wei's news."
Wei Ruo smiled lightly: "Maybe I made a mistake, maybe some other tea plantation is doing it." It doesn't
matter whether her news is accurate or not, what's important is, Someone is tempted to buy black tea.
Then Wei Ruo said: "I'll make some more milk tea for everyone."
I just made six cups, and many people haven't tasted it yet.
Hearing this, Yuan Shiniang said hurriedly: "Yes, make some more, I want to try it too."
Several others also seconded the idea.
Regardless of whether they asked for a drink or not, Wei Ruo made them all a cup. Even those who showed a lack of interest, Wei Ruo did not fail.
Anyway, the milk has been obtained. This thing cannot be stored for a long time under the current conditions. If it is not used, it will be a waste.
A cup was also placed in front of Wei Qingwan. Looking at the milky brown liquid in front of her, there was no look of expectation on Wei Qingwan's face.
In particular, compliments for Wei Ruo could be heard from time to time.
Xu Yaojun had been paying attention to Wei Qingwan's expression, and found the right opportunity to come over and tease: "Wei Qingwan, why don't you drink it? Your sister made it by herself. It is very delicious. We all like it very much."
Wei Qingwan's face turned even more ugly, and she forced a smile to answer: "I'm not very thirsty." "
Tasting tea is not to quench thirst. This tea is sweet and tastes better than the soft, waxy and sweet osmanthus cake. By the way, you know osmanthus cake. What does it taste like? I remember that you used to be the best at making osmanthus cake."
Xu Yaojun deliberately compared it to Wei Qingwan's specialty osmanthus cake.
"Well, my sister has been in the country for many years and has learned a lot of craftsmanship. I can't compare to you." Wei Qingwan said humbly.
While being modest, I did not forget to mention that Wei Ruo was raised in the countryside since he was a child.
Xu Yaojun sneered: "But your sister's talent and learning are not worse than yours. How come you haven't learned as well as those who grew up in the countryside after so many years in the school captain's house?" Wei Qingwan's face turned pale for a while, and she bit her tongue
. Lips, softly replied: "I am stupid, not as smart as my sister."
