"Hello, old man!" Zeng Zhi quickly greeted him respectfully.

The old man smiled, looked at Yuan Ling with some doting, and said, "You girl, not like you said. I am just an old man who stir-frys tea, which means I have been in this industry for a few more years than others!"

Yuan Ling said: "You are so polite! Zeng Zhi, the owner of our village tea base, graduated from a prestigious university. He is now back to the village to develop and lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich."

The old man nodded to Zeng Zhi and said, "Young people, I'm not forgetting the villagers when I'm rich outside."

Zeng Zhi also smiled modestly. Of course, he knew that the old man said this, but he was just polite, so he didn't say anything, but asked, "Old man, how about the tea in our village?"

"It's a good tea, and the taste is also very distinctive. But it's still early to say this now, let's wait and see. However, such an original ancient tea garden that tends to be wild is extremely rare in the country. As long as the tea production quality is slightly higher, it will be quite popular in the market. Don't worry," said the old man.

Zeng Zhi nodded when he heard this, no longer asked questions, but focused on watching the three women how to cook tea.

In the small square of the village committee, three pots lined up from left to right. The woman in front of the first pot held a tea broom and stirred the tea leaves in the pot. After about three minutes, she turned the fried tea leaves into the second pot. There was also a woman standing in front of the second pot. She continued to stir the tea leaves with a broom, and from time to time she grabbed the tea with her hands and shook it twice, and finally turned into the third pot.

This procedure is indeed very surprising to the traditional method of stir-frying tea in rural areas. In rural areas, villagers stir-fry tea by themselves, basically they first fry the tea leaves on high heat in a large pot, then transfer them to a basin to knead, then return to the pot to fry, and then knead. In this way, at least three rounds, the most will be performed five to six or even seven times, and finally put them in the pot and dried over low heat or charcoal.

The tea stir-frying these people now obviously simplifies the process of tea stir-frying, or in other words, it is assembled.

Seeing Zeng Zhi looking carefully, Yuan Ling smiled and said, "Have you seen it before? The first pot is finished, the second pot is finished, and the third pot is made into strips..."

"Director Yuan, you still know how to make tea. I thought you only know how to drink tea." Zeng Zhi laughed and teased Yuan Ling.

Yuan Ling gave Zeng Zhi a blank look and said angrily: "Brother Zeng Zhi, am I that bad?"

However, looking at Zeng Zhi's smiling expression, Yuan Ling's words gradually lost confidence and said weakly: "Although I can't stir-fry tea, isn't it okay to learn and sell it now?"

Zeng Zhi smiled and said, "It turns out that he is learning from Zhao Kuo to talk about war on paper."

Yuan Ling said a little dissatisfied: "I am talking on paper, and you will not be much better than me!"

Zeng Zhi smiled and said, "This is not necessarily the case. Although I have never used this method of stir-frying tea, I still know how to stir-fry tea in rural areas. As the saying goes, the same path is the same. I think these two methods seem to be very different, but in fact they are all the same."

Mr. Zhang Chunming said: "Xiao Zeng said it well. Whether it is the local tea stir-frying or the assembly-lined tea stir-frying of ours, they actually include three stages, namely, finishing, forming strips and drying, which means that the process is slightly different. In addition, the local tea stir-frying has high requirements for the control of the heat and kneading technology. If you do not master the two well, especially the kneading technology, it will directly cause the condition of the strips, and the quality of the fried tea will be relatively poor. This assembly-lined tea stir-frying has low control of the heat, and it will eliminate the manual kneading process, and replace it with a tea broom to form strips in the pot."

Zeng Zhi gave the old man a thumbs up and said, "The old man is worthy of being an expert. He also sees the difference between these two methods very clearly and is very concise and clear. For example, I know that there is a difference between the two, but it is difficult to explain clearly."

Zeng Zhi was moved to the woman who was in charge of the preliminary completion procedure when he saw it, "Sister, can I give it a try?"

Before the woman could speak, Yuan Ling glared at Zeng Zhi first and said, "What are you joining in? I am all useful in these teas. What can you do with your level of work? Now that you know these processes, you will have the chance to try them back."

"Okay, I won't try anymore. It depends on your nervous look." Zeng Zhi spread his hands helplessly and said.

The middle-aged woman standing in front of the first pot looked at the two of them quarreling and said with a smile: "There is no need to wait. There are half a frame of tea leaves over there, which can be used to practice. But we have to wait until we have fried these good tea leaves first."

Zeng Zhi nodded and stepped aside to watch them continue to stir-fry tea.

If you use the local method to stir-fry tea, it will take three or four hours. However, using this professional assembly-line stir-frying tea saves a lot of time. It is only one hour to stir-fry, and only a small basket of tea that has been selected for a long time.

The three middle-aged women also fulfilled their previous promises and gave them to Zeng Zhi to practice.

So Zeng Zhi tried it alone in the pot.

Although Zeng Zhi had used the method of stir-frying tea, it was several years ago. Moreover, he had never tried this new method of stir-frying tea. Although the new method of stir-frying tea looks simple, there are still many tricks in it when it comes to operation. Those who don’t know, the tea produced by stir-frying will definitely not work.

I became interested in this thing, so Zeng Zhi studied very seriously. He tried and asked questions. In addition, there was nothing important about the three women who finished cooking tea, and he taught very carefully. After all, Zeng Zhi had surpassed tea before, so he quickly became a little bit of an introductory look.

Seeing Zeng Zhi's progress so fast, a woman joked: "You kid is so smart. Why don't you come to our company to learn how to stir-fry tea with me! It would be a pity if you don't make tea."

Through previous communication, Zeng Zhi already knew that this woman's surname was Zheng and her name was Zheng Yanli.

Zeng Zhi smiled and said, "Sister Zheng, just forget it if you want to take this as a job, I just want to be fresh."

"The young man is the boss, why are you learning to stir-fry? Isn't your big girl not a partner? This young man is so handsome, smart and rich, he is simply a rich son-in-law. Why would I help your big girl become a matchmaker?" Another woman named Lin Meiqin joked.

Zheng Yanli said: "I really like it, but who has become the master of my daughter now?"

Several women were joking about themselves, and Zeng Zhi was a little embarrassed and couldn't interrupt, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear it, stir-frying tea on his own, with a very dedicated look.
