Taking out the first pot of tea, putting it into a small bamboo plaque and drying it under the sun, Lin Chunnuan found the first problem.

"Wangzhige, we definitely do not have enough bamboo plaque to use, because after the tea is stir-fried, we will have to dry it again. I have neglected this matter."

"Although the table isn't as breathable as the big bamboo plaque, there's nothing we can do about the conditions. At worst, we can just work diligently and let it get soaked in water, and when we go to sell some tea leaves next time, we can buy a few more bamboo plaque."

"You mean you made this up?"

Dou Wang unceremoniously nodded his head. It wasn't anything new to make a bamboo plaque, there were only a few in the village who wouldn't make this up.

However, Lin Chunnuan felt that her understanding of this world was the most important step. In her previous life, no matter what she wanted, like or used, she could only use money to buy them. Hand-made DIY could only be used as a form of entertainment.

But now, she truly felt that, because of the current lagging environment, many things needed to be personally created by you, just like her parents, they didn't have half a copper coin on them, and she had to personally do whatever the family needed to do. It was just like eating vegetables everyday, which she would grow on her own, eat hot food, and grow rice on her own.

Looking at his own clothes and shoes, they were all personally made by his mother. Although they were all made from old clothes, they still needed to be modified by hand. His own shoes had a hole in them, and his mother was currently using old clothes that he could not wear.

Then, he looked at Dou Wang's good home, his house, his house's front door, his house's wall, and the utensils in the house. Other than these iron-made tools, he couldn't make them himself, he had to make everything else himself, such as bamboo plaque s, bamboo broom, wicker basket s, etc.

"Then I'll have to trouble Wangzhige. If there's time, help me create a few big bamboo plaque s. No matter what, you have to help me tide through the time it takes to cook the tea leaves and the honey mint."

Lin Chunnuan felt that her understanding of this world had been refreshed time and time again.

Don't even mention mother and Dou Wang, they had to do everything themselves. Wasn't it the same for herself? Looking at what she was doing now, making honey mint and stir-fried tea were used as entertainment in her previous life. But now, she had to rely on all these accumulated funds to get out of poverty.

"Okay, warm spring. I will go up the mountain tomorrow to cut down the bamboo. I will be able to make it up very soon."

Lin Chunnuan nodded. She believed in Dou Wang's ability to fight.

"We'll talk about that later. It's a serious matter to move the case out first."

The sunlight had already begun to sink, Lin Chunnuan regretted not thinking of this earlier. Otherwise, when the sun had just risen, she would have wasted an hour of time and the mint would have already dried up, but now, it was obvious that she had to rely on the breeze and the remaining warmth of the sun to dry herself out, which was much slower.

"I didn't dry them earlier. Some of the leaves with water on them aren't looking too good."

It was a pity that the leaf had turned soft from the water, but fortunately, it was not serious.

"It's fine. Spring is warm, so we'll be able to dry it properly. We can diligently flip through it. It won't take long for it to dry."

Seeing Lin Chunnuan's somewhat impatient look, Dou Wang also felt that he had not prepared well and had delayed Chun Wen's work. But this was only what he thought in his heart, of course Lin Chunnuan would not blame him for this, it was just that he did not think things through properly, and Lin Chunnuan was just blaming herself a little.

Moreover, she was in a hurry to fry all the new tea leaves. Since it was the best day to make the new ones, but it was already time for dinner, since she had so much tea leaves that had yet to be cooked, then it would definitely be too late for her to return home. She was not afraid of anything else, as the Grandmother Lin would be looking for trouble again, causing a huge commotion in the Heavenly Palace.

"Then I will have to trouble Wangzhige to take care of this side. I will be busy over there, otherwise, I won't be able to finish it in a short period of time."

Dou Wang wanted her to be busy with her own work. This little job of hanging the sun was not even under his command.

"Go back to your work. I'm over here, I promise I'll help you dry."

Lin Chunnuan wiped the sweat off her forehead and did not try to be courteous with Dou Wang anymore. She was really short on time, and walked back to carefully study her first finished product, basically speaking, the process of cooking was pretty good. She did not leave any procedures behind, it was just that she needed to master some techniques and proficiency in the process of cooking still to be strengthened.

closed her eyes and thought back to the cooking process she had gone through. The raw pot required one to be at an inclined angle of 35 degrees, that was what she had done, and the pot had to be at a temperature of 140 to 160 degrees. This was all based on experience, Lin Chunnuan felt that she had not done well enough.

This required that the green leaves be repeatedly picked up with the tea handle for three to four minutes. After the leaves were soft, the tip of the leaves would be collected, circled in the pot, and the tea leaves would be gently rolled into strips. In other words, the tea leaves would be naturally rotated in the pot with the tea, and the movement would be gradually increased in weight and speed up.

The wrist strength, energy, and eyesight needed to be coordinated very well, so he definitely needed to practice more. He needed to shake, scatter, and repeat the process from time to time until the green leaves became soft, curled, and started to form a strip. At this time, it would not be easy to break the stem, so he quickly swept the tea into the pot.

According to the quality, moisture content and freshness of the tea leaves, the cooking time of the pot can be completed in about seven to ten minutes. Only by working hard and shaking more can the moisture content of the tea leaves be kept at a very appropriate level.

The temperature of the pot was slightly lower than the life pot, around 80 to 100 degrees. This kind of feeling the temperature of the pot was Lin Chunnuan's weak point, it was simply too much of a test of experience, but Lin Chunnuan practically had no experience, and could only force her hair to go up, and unceasingly train herself during battle.

When the tea leaves reached the cooked pot, they would first use the tea to scatter the tea balls. Then, they would use the tea leaves to knead the tea leaves, and then continue the process of 'wrapping and kneading' the leaves. After three to four minutes, the tea leaves would shrink further.

This was very difficult, furthermore, if one could not grab ahold of the tea bar well, it would be easy to get it by hand. Just a moment ago, when Lin Chunnuan was more careful, she was still able to heat up two spots, but luckily, her speed was fast enough when grabbing the tea leaves, and it was only red and swollen now, and not bubbling at all.

At that time, during the process of using one's hands to 'argue', the teacher was really extremely diligent. As the children of wealthy families came to learn the Way of Tea, they naturally had to do their best to avoid being injured. If they really did scald any of the young mistresses' tender hands, it would not be a small matter.

Lin Chunnuan also knew that a proper teahouse chef would need at least a few months to master the thin cocoon on his hands, but he didn't have the time to wait right now, so he could only try his best.

Fortunately, his teacher had taught him a lot of tricks, for him to make the tea quickly like this, he could at least make the tea look good. When he had successfully cooked the tea, the tea bar would become compact, round and smooth, and he would be able to immediately clean it out. He quickly spread it out on the bamboo plaque to dry.

After comparing the classes from his previous life with the methods he had taught them, Lin Chunnuan's confidence was boosted greatly. He felt that he still had talent in cooking tea.

Furthermore, for every pot of tea, it would only take fifteen to twenty minutes. If he increased his speed a little, the tea leaves would be ready to fry soon, and once Lin Chunnuan thought that he could finish the work soon, his enthusiasm immediately rose. Pots after pots of tea would be stir-fried, becoming more and more proficient in it.

Lin Chunnuan did not know that, ever since she had worn it to this space, her senses and senses had become even more sensitive. It was probably because of the additional benefit of her soul teleportation, if not, how could an ordinary soul teleport casually? The things that could be teleported through must be the best quality goods, thus she was able to master the skill of brewing tea in such a short amount of time.

When all the tea leaves were completed, Lin Chunnuan finally realised that she was almost paralyzed with fatigue and was fully focused on cooking, she did not feel tired at all, but the moment she stopped, she was completely different from before, she was almost as soft as a noodle, but she still persisted and kept all the tea leaves on the big bamboo plaque s, cooking them on the Dou Wang's brick bed.

"Spring, warm spring. You can take a rest first, it's already so late, I'll send you back, the mint is almost done drying, I'm afraid there will be dew if it's too late. You take a rest, the two of us will bring the mint from the table into the house, it will be very hot tonight, and the mint won't return to its normal color."

He could only accept Dou Wang's suggestion and sat down to rest. However, he did not dare to rest for too long, as the more he rested, the more exhausted he would feel. Furthermore, every seven to eight minutes, she would have to flip through the tea again.

After they crossed the threshold, Lin Chunnuan almost tripped over and scared Dou Wang to death. Luckily, she was able to avoid danger, but Dou Wang was also scared to the point that he was covered in cold sweat. No matter if he had spilled mint or fallen in the spring, it was the result of him not accepting.
