Chapter 266 Promotion of black tea
I saw Wei Ruo opening the small pot and scooping 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 doubt.
Why is this tea black?
Generally, the tea leaves will be black if they are not stored properly, or if the heat is not well controlled during frying, right?
Wei Ruo knew what everyone was wondering about, she didn't explain, but concentrated on operating the work in hand.
The process of making milk tea is not complicated. Caramel is pre-fried, put it in, add water to boil, put in black tea, boil for a while, then add milk, and then remove the teapot from the stove after boiling again .
Wei Ruo placed the teacups and poured the milk tea into them. The teapot already has a filter, so you dont have to worry about the tea leaves pouring out, so you dont need to prepare extra filter steamer cloth.
Wei Ruo poured out six cups and gave each of Xu Yaojun and the five closest girls a cup.
Xu Yaojun looked at the teacup in his hand, hesitating whether to try it or not.
Yuan Jiuniang also got the milk tea from Wei Ruo. Out of trust in Wei Ruo, she took a sip first.
When she first entered, Yuan Jiuniang didn't respond.
Everyone looked at her curiously, even Wei Qingwan, who had been refraining from coming over to watch Wei Ruo make tea just now, couldn't help poking her head out.
After a while, Yuan Jiuniang's face showed a look of joy, and then gave a good review: "It's delicious! It has a milk fragrance, sweet, and a tea fragrance, and the taste is very rich!"
Hearing what Yuan Jiuniang said, Xu Yaojun's curiosity was also aroused.
In addition, she also saw that Wei Ruo was making tea just now, and the things that were put in were all common things, except that the tea leaves were a bit dark, which didn't seem like good tea.
Xu Yaojun took a sip and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully.
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 speaking, Xu Yaojun looked up at Wei Ruo. It can be said that this was the first time she really looked at Wei Ruo with appreciation.
Although she said many nice things to Wei Ruo before, none of them were sincere.
Even though Wei Ruo's poems won praises from everyone during the outing last time, she didn't think that Wei Ruo had much ability, it was just that she could use it to take advantage of Wei Qingwan's existence.
Xu Yaojun said so, and the few who got the milk tea began to taste it politely.
After the tasting, several people also expressed their opinions. Some people think it is good, some people think it is novel, but no one said that it tastes bad.
Yuan Jiuniang asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoruo, what's the matter 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. It's made in a slightly different way from the green tea you usually drink. It tastes less astringent than green tea and has a softer taste, making it more suitable for making milk tea." Wei Ruo explained.
"Black tea? It's the first time I've heard that there are tea leaves and black tea." Yuan Jiuniang said.
"This tea just came out not long ago. It is said that some hermits came up with a new way to preserve tea more conveniently. It was slowly spread this year, so not many people know about it." Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Ruo thought of a source for black tea, and specifically said that it was invented by a hermit, in order to add some elegance to black tea. If it was invented by a country woman, I am afraid that some pampered people will have some feelings of disgust in their hearts, which will affect them. Mood for tea.
"Miss Wei, where did you buy this black tea? I also want to buy some so that my family can try it." Yuan Jiuniang said.
Yuan Jiuniang made a start, and then a few people seconded and wanted to buy some.
"I also want to buy some, and I will learn how to make milk tea like Miss Wei when I go back."
"There are milking buffaloes in my ranch, and they bring me milk every day. I'm tired of drinking it. It just goes with this black tea for a change of taste."
"..."
Wei Ruodao: "I also bought it from others, but I heard that Yusheng Tea Garden is making a large amount of black tea, and I guess I can buy it after a while."
Of course, Wei Ruo can't sell tea as the daughter of the captain's mansion. Pipa paste is medicine, and it's reasonable for her to make some and sell it herself. Selling tea leaves can't be justified, so at this time, Wei Ruo just needs to tell everyone where to buy it. Just buy it.
"Yusheng Tea Garden? Isn't that the tea house?" Mr. Xu Yao said.
So Xu Yaojun called the maid over to ask about the situation: "Does your tea house sell black tea?"
The maid hurriedly shook her head and denied: "Our teahouse never sells black tea, and I don't know what black tea is."
Hearing this, Xu Yaojun turned to look at Wei Ruo: "There seems to be something wrong with Miss Wei's news."
Wei Ruo smiled slightly: "It may be that I made a mistake, and it may be that some other tea garden is doing it."
It doesn't matter whether her news is accurate or not. What matters is that someone is tempted to buy black tea.
Then Wei Ruo said again: "Let me make some more milk tea for everyone."
I only made six cups just now, and many people didn't taste it.
Hearing this, Yuan Shiniang hurriedly said: "Yes, I want to try some more."
Several other people also seconded the proposal.
Whether there was something to drink or not, Wei Ruo made a cup for them all, even if they showed a lack of interest, Wei Ruo didn't let go.
Anyway, the milk has already been obtained. Under the current conditions, this thing can not be stored for a long time. If it is not used, it will be wasted.
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.
YouQi still heard praises for Wei Ruo from time to time.
Xu Yaojun has been paying attention to Wei Qingwan's expression, and came over at the right time and teased: "Why doesn't Wei Qingwan drink it? Your sister made it herself. It's very delicious. We all like it very much."
Wei Qingwan's face became even uglier, and she forced a smile to answer: "I'm not very thirsty."
"Tasting tea is not to quench your thirst. This tea is sweet and tastes better than soft and sweet osmanthus cake. By the way, do you know what osmanthus cake tastes like? I remember that you used to be the best at making osmanthus cake."
Xu Yaojun deliberately compared Wei Qingwan's sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
"Well, my sister has learned a lot of crafts in the country for many years, and I can't compare them." Wei Qingwan hurriedly said modestly.
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 inferior to yours. How come you haven't learned better than those who grew up in the countryside for so many years in the school captain's mansion?"
Wei Qingwan's face turned ashen for a while, bit her lip, and replied softly: "I'm stupid, not as smart as my sister."
