Chapter 266 – Publicizing Black Tea

Only Wei Ruo opened the small jar and used a small spoon to scoop out the black tea leaves inside.

When they saw the color of the tea leaves, the faces of the crowd revealed varying degrees of puzzlement.

Why is this tea black?

Usually tea leaves are not stored properly, or the fire is not controlled properly during frying before they blacken, right?

Wei Ruo knew what the crowd was wondering, she did not explain, but concentrated on operating the work in her hands.

The process of making milk tea is not complicated, the caramel is fried beforehand, put it in, add water to boil and put in black tea, boil for a while and then put in milk, when it boils again you can remove the teapot from the stove.

Wei Ruo set up the teacups and poured the milk tea into them, the teapot already came with a strainer, so there was no need to worry about the tea leaves pouring out after it, and there was no need to prepare additional filtering steamer cloths.

Wei Ruo poured six cups out and gave one cup to Xu Yaogun and the five nearest girls around.

Xu Yaogun looked at the teacup in her hand and hesitated to try it.

Yuan Jiuniang also got the milk tea given by Wei Ruo, and out of her trust in Wei Ruo, she was the first to take a sip.

At first entrance, Yuan Jiuniang didn’t have any reaction either.

The crowd then looked at her curiously, even Wei Qingwan who had just been holding back from coming over to watch Wei Ruo make tea couldn’t help but poke her head out to look.

After a few moments, Yuan Jiuniang’s face appeared delighted, and then gave a favorable review, “It’s delicious! It has a milky, sweet, and a tea scent, the flavor is rich!”

Hearing Yuan Jiuniang say this, Xu Yaogun’s curiosity was also aroused.

Plus just Wei Ruo tea cooking process she also saw, put in are some common things, in addition to the tea leaves some black, does not look like what good tea.

Xu Yaogun took a small sip into her mouth and savored it.

It felt good! Xu Yaogun was a bit surprised and followed it up with another sip, wanting to taste its flavor more carefully.

“It’s really quite tasty!” Xu Yaogun commented.

After saying that, Xu Yaogun looked up at Wei Ruo, and it could be said that this was the first time she had truly looked at Wei Ruo with an appreciative gaze.

Although she had said a lot of nice things to Wei Ruo before this, none of them were actually sincere.

Even if Wei Ruo’s poetry drew a lot of praise from the crowd on the last green walk, she didn’t think Wei Ruo had much ability, just an existence she could use to take advantage of Wei Qingwan.

As Xu Yaogun had said so, the few remaining ones who had gotten the milk tea tasted it nonchalantly.

Several people who had tasted it also expressed their opinions, some found it good, some found it novel, but no one said it tasted bad.

Yuan Jiuniang asked Wei Ruo, “Ruoruo, what’s wrong with your tea? Why is it black?”

Yuan Jiuniang asked the confusion of the crowd, and everyone was curious about this question.

“This is black tea, and we usually drink green tea production method is slightly different, the flavor will be less astringent green tea, the taste is also softer, more suitable for milk tea,”” Wei Ruo explained. Wei Ruo explained.

“Black tea? It’s also the first time I’ve heard that there’s black tea in tea.” Yuan Jiuniang said.

“This tea has just appeared not long ago, it is said to be some hermits in order to more convenient to preserve the tea came up with a new method, only this year slowly spread, so not many people know.” Wei Ruo replied. ….

Wei Ruo to think of a source of black tea, specifically said that the invention of the hermit, is to add some of the elegant color of black tea, if it is said that the invention of the countryside women, for fear of some pampered people in the heart of the mind plainly out of some feelings of dislike, affecting their mood to drink tea.

“Miss Wei, where did you buy this black tea, I also want to buy some to let my family taste it.” Yuan Jiuniang said.

Yuan Jiuniang made a start, followed by a few others who then agreed to buy some as well.

“I also want to buy some and go back and learn how to make milk tea and drink it myself from Ms. Wei.”

“My family has buffaloes in the pasture for milking, and they bring me milk every day, so I’m tired of drinking it, so I’m just going to pair it with this black tea to ease the taste.”

“……”

Wei Ruo said, “I also bought it from someone else, but I heard that Yu Sheng Tea Garden is making black tea in large quantities, so I guess I can buy it after some time.”

Wei Ruo of course can not top the identity of the lieutenant’s house gold selling tea, loquat cream is medicine, she personally do some sold is justified, selling tea how can not say, so this time Wei Ruo just need to tell people where to buy can be.

“Yu Sheng Tea Garden? Isn’t that this tea house?” Xu Yaogun said.

So Xu Yaogun called her maid over to inquire, “Do you sell black tea at your tea house?”

The maid busily shook her head and denied, “We don’t sell black tea at the Tea Cuisine, and I don’t know what black tea is.”

At those words, Xu Yaogun turned back to Wei Ruo, “There seems to be something wrong with Ms. Wei’s news.”

Wei Ruo smiled shallowly, “That could be my mistake, it could be some other tea garden doing it.”

It didn’t matter if her information was accurate or not, what mattered was that someone had moved to want to buy black tea.

Then Wei Ruo added, “Let me make some more milk tea for everyone.”

Only six cups had just been made, and there were still a number of people who hadn’t tasted them.

Hearing this Yuan Shinniang busily said, “Yes, make some more, I want to taste it too.”

A few others seconded the motion as well.

Whether or not there is no opening to say that you want to drink, Wei Ruoh all gave a cup of cooking, even if it is showing a lack of interest, Wei Ruoh did not fall.

Anyway, the milk had been gotten, the stuff doesn’t last long in today’s conditions, and it would be a waste not to use it up.

Wei Qingwan also had a cup in front of her, looking at the milky brown liquid in front of her, Wei Qingwan’s face didn’t have half a color of anticipation.

In particular, there were also sounds of praise for Wei Ruo in his ears from time to time.

Xu Yaogun had been paying attention to Wei Qingwan’s complexion and found the right moment to come over and teased, ”Wei Qingwan why don’t you drink it? Your sister made it with her own hands, it’s very good, all of us love it.”

Wei Qingwan’s face became even more ugly, and with a forced smile, she replied, “I’m not very thirsty.”

“Sipping tea without quenching your thirst, this tea is sweet and tastes better than the soft and sweet osmanthus cake. By the way, you know what osmanthus flower cake tastes like, don’t you? I remember you used to be the best at making osmanthus cakes.”

Xu Yaogun deliberately took Wei Qingwan’s specialty osmanthus cake as a comparison.

“Well, my sister has learned a lot of crafts over the years in the countryside, I can’t compare to her.” Wei Qingwan hurriedly said modestly.

While being modest, he also didn’t forget to mention the fact that Wei Ruo had been raised in the countryside since she was a child.

Xu Yaogun snorted lightly, “But your sister’s talent is no worse than yours, how come you haven’t been able to learn better than growing up in the countryside for so many years in the school captain’s house?”

Wei Qingwan’s face flushed for a while, biting her lip, she softly replied, “It’s me who is foolish, not as smart as sister.” .
