Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

"smell good!"

"Dad, are you frying tea? I smelled the fragrance of tea in the front yard, and it seems to be Keemun black tea!"

In the courtyard, He Daqing was carefully boiling tea eggs, and outside the door came the shouting of Sha Zhu.

Keemun black tea is a kind of black tea, which has a certain origin with Zhengshan Xiaozhong. According to historical legends and relevant records, the production process of Keemun black tea is a localized improvement of the production process of Fujian Xiaozhong black tea.

Compared with Zhengshan Xiaozhong, the fermentation degree of traditional Keemun Gongfu tea is slightly higher, and the tea soup is more rosy and bright, yellow-red and bright, like amber.

In addition, as the first of the three most fragrant black teas in the world, the biggest feature of Keemun black tea is its unique Keemun fragrance that resembles flowers, honey and fruit, which is most suitable for boiling tea eggs.

Of course, if you use ordinary recipes, If you use any other method to cook tea eggs, even if you use Keemun black tea, it is impossible to produce such a pure and rich tea aroma, which makes it seem like you are just frying tea.

But He Daqing used the simplified method of Jinwu Medicinal Tea Eggs, and he made the method after constant consideration, which instantly made He's tea eggs different.

When boiled, there is no taste of fennel, aniseed, or dark soy sauce, only a rich and pure tea aroma. The taste of other oils, salt, sauces, and various aniseed is completely neutralized and masked by some simple herbs, so that even Sha Zhu, a chef who has been learning cooking from him since he was a child, mistakenly thought that He Daqing was frying tea instead of boiling tea eggs.

"What are you yelling about?"

"Is it as exaggerated as you say?"

"You're still frying tea. I can smell it before I even enter the compound. Why don't you say you smelled it at the steel mill?"

He Daqing scolded his son very dissatisfiedly when he saw him push the door open. He didn't believe what He Yuzhu said at all.

Because during the steaming process of ordinary fried tea leaves, although the fragrance of tea floats and diffuses everywhere, no matter how good the tea is, it has a distance limit.

Unless it is boiled in large quantities in a sealed space, it is already very good if the fragrance of the boiled tea can float three meters away.

So He Daqing naturally didn't believe what He Yuzhu said that he smelled the fragrance of tea outside the courtyard.

"No, Dad, I'm telling the truth. I could smell the fragrance of tea at the entrance of the courtyard."

"Didn't you see that the neighbors in our yard, after smelling the tea, almost stretched their necks to our house, especially the third uncle in the front yard, who asked me to tell you that if there is any tea foam left after frying the tea, leave it to him, and he is willing to buy it."

Hearing He Daqing's scolding, He Yuzhu was instantly unhappy and hurriedly explained.

At the end, he did not forget to bring Yan Fugui from the front yard.

"Buying tea leaves?"

"This is not in line with Old Yan's character. How can he be willing to spend money to buy it?"

He Daqing laughed, and was very surprised by He Yuzhu's words.

Who is Yan Fugui?

He is a man who has to taste the saltiness of a manure cart passing by his door. If he really knew that he was frying tea, would he be willing to spend money to buy tea foam?

"Hey, it's not that you are good at making tea, the tea smells... the tea smells... no, Dad, are you boiling tea eggs?"

After He Yuzhu entered the room, he saw the iron basin on the coal stove and the eggs being boiled in red and yellow tea in the iron basin, and his eyes almost popped out.

"No way, how come this boiled tea egg has no taste of aniseed and soy sauce, could it be that you didn't put any seasoning in it?"

Sha Zhu was a little unwilling to give up, he turned three steps into two, hurried to the stove, looked at the bay leaves and cinnamon floating in the tea soup, sniffed hard, rubbed his eyes back and forth several times, he couldn't believe his eyes.

But soon, he came back to his senses, looked at He Daqing who was sitting in front of the stove, boiling and turning the tea eggs in the iron basin, licked his face, and said excitedly:"Dad, Dad, you have to give this skill to me, I'm your own son!"

"The tea aroma is rich, without any soy sauce or aniseed flavor. The tea eggs are delicious, but the cooking process and appearance are really amazing."

As a cook, he has inherited the tradition and has been practicing and learning the craft since he was a child.

Hasn't He Yuzhu eaten pork or seen pigs run?

Just looking at the pot of tea eggs in front of him, he dared to pat his chest and say that it was really amazing.

Not to mention the real taste, the cooking process and appearance alone far surpassed all the tea eggs he had seen before, and it can be said to be the best among tea eggs.

"Do you want to learn?" He Daqing looked at his silly son who looked excited and asked casually.

"You must learn it!"

He Yuzhu said with certainty.

With such skills, even the imperial chef would be drooling over it.

As a chef, how could he not want to learn?

He Daqing glanced at his silly son, then smiled and said,"Haha, if you want to learn, then wait. What are you waiting for? I'm about to die, and I will pass on this skill to you intact."

Of course, he was talking about the complete Jinwu medicinal tea eggs, not the reduced-quality He's tea eggs.

"Uh, that's boring!" He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said helplessly:"There are still a few unique dishes in the Tan family cuisine that you have not passed on to me yet. Now there is another tea egg. It seems that there is no hope in this life."

It's no wonder that Shazhu is resentful.

It's because keeping something back and teaching the apprentice to starve the master to death is the rule among craftsmen.

But that is between master and apprentice.

He and He Daqing are father and son, but He Daqing kept more than one trick up his sleeve for him. It's obvious that he doesn't trust him as a son.

"Teach you?"

He Daqing ignored Sha Zhu's complaints, spread his hands, and said lightly:"I do want to teach you, but the problem is that even the ingredients for the dishes in the Tan family cuisine are hard to get these days, so what can I teach you?"

"I can't write it down and leave you a recipe to carry with you, right?"

"The most important thing is, given your current situation, I really don’t dare to teach you. If I really write a recipe for you, you might turn around and sell it for money."

After understanding the memories of his previous life,

He Daqing realized how unreliable Sha Zhu was when he was young.

Just like what Jia Zhang said about Sha Zhu in the original book.

When he was young, Sha Zhu stayed out all day and night, hanging out with some bad friends. He was not a good man.

Think about it, Sha Zhu is only fifteen years old now, and he hasn't mastered the skills yet.

It would be strange if He Daqing dared to write out the recipe of Tan's cuisine for him.

It's not that he was afraid that he would spread it around, but that he was afraid that he would sell the recipe directly for money.

Of course, He Daqing didn't really want to be on guard against Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu was still young, and he was afraid that Sha Zhu couldn't control himself.

Seeing Sha Zhu's unconvinced look,

He Daqing didn't want to explain more. After thinking about it, he said directly:"How about this, when you have a son and let our He family have an heir, I will teach you the remaining signature dishes of Tan's cuisine and the craftsmanship of He's tea eggs. How about it?"

In the TV series, didn't Sha Zhu almost become extinct?

Then let him have a son as soon as possible.

The remaining parts of the Tan family's dishes and the He family's tea eggs are the carrots in front of the donkey's head, hanging him to walk forward honestly. I'm not afraid that this kid will not be tempted.

"Really?" When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up.

He Daqing said calmly:"Hehe, when has your father ever lied to you? This is definitely more real than real gold. If you want to learn my craft, then quickly marry your wife and give birth to a son as soon as possible!"...............................
