The female netizen was not lying.
The tea leaves arrived in the afternoon. At about four in the afternoon, Li Ke received the express delivery.
He opened the package and saw that there were about three kilograms of raw tea inside.
According to the female netizen, the raw tea had been picked and dried.
The freshly picked tea leaves could not be stir-fried directly. This was also mentioned in the video sent by the female netizen. He knew this process.
In order to avoid wasting time, he asked the female netizen to send him dried tea leaves.
As for drying, this was a process without any technical content. There was no need to waste a few hours experimenting.
Next, he divided the three kilograms of tea leaves into three portions of one kilogram each.
This could be considered as giving him three chances to experiment.
He first ignited the gas stove and heated the iron pot.
When the temperature of the pot gradually rose, he poured 1kg of tea leaves into the pot.
He didn't choose to use a spatula to stir-fry because it was better to stir-fry with his hands according to the video.
Because human fingers had a sense of touch, they could keenly feel the dryness and wetness of the tea leaves. This way, they could better control the heat of the tea.
If he used a spatula to stir-fry the tea leaves, it was very likely that he would not be able to control the humidity and heat well. In the end, the tea leaves would be charred.
Moreover, using a spatula might break the complete tea leaves, which would make the tea leaves incomplete.
Following the method and steps taught in the video, his hands were like a spatula, constantly stir-frying the tea leaves in the pot.
The green tea leaves gradually changed color under the heat of the iron pot.
This was normal. The water in the tea leaves would slowly evaporate under the heat of the iron pot, and the color of the tea leaves would naturally turn from green to dark.
After a while, he could feel the humidity of the tea leaves on his fingers.
Moreover, the color of the tea leaves was almost the same as the finished product in the video.
He immediately turned off the fire and poured the tea leaves onto a plate.
"It smells like it."
Li Ke put his nose close to the tea leaves and gently smelled them.
Immediately, a faint fragrance of tea assailed his nose, causing his eyes to light up.
Although he didn't know how it tasted, at least the appearance and fragrance of the tea were on point.
"Let's brew some for a drink first."
Li Ke directly took a cup, grabbed some tea leaves, and brewed a cup with boiling water.
According to the video, the tea leaves that had just been stir-fried were not at their best. They should be placed in a dry place for a few days. Only then would the tea brewed from the tea leaves taste good.
However, he didn't have that much time. He wanted to brew a cup first.
Although the taste was not very good, as long as the difference was not too much, it meant that there was no problem with his stir-frying technique.
He only needed to confirm this point. The rest was not important. After he transmigrated, he had more time to dry the tea leaves.
When he was brewing the tea, he weighed the tea leaves that had just been fried.
This time, he fried 1kg of raw tea, which was 1000 grams. After frying, there were 200 grams left.
It was equivalent to producing 1 kilogram of tea leaves from 5 kilograms of raw tea.
The ratio was roughly 5:1.
This ratio was relatively acceptable because according to the video, it was roughly within this range.
After a while, the tea was ready.
He took a small sip. It tasted slightly bitter.
However, after that, there was a faint fragrance of tea. It tasted a little different from the tea leaves he had drunk before, but the difference was not big.
"It can still be improved."
After all, Li Ke had only stir-fried the tea once. This time, he found some small problems during the stir-frying process.
Therefore, he continued to stir-fry the tea and stir-fried the remaining two portions of raw tea.
His tea-frying technique was also getting better and better, and the tea leaves he fried were also getting better and better.
At this moment, in front of him was a cup of tea made from the tea leaves that had been stir-fried for the third time.
The steam rose and the fragrance of the tea filled the air.
He took a sip and his eyes lit up.
"It's in place!"
Li Ke nodded, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
This was the taste!
Drinking this taste meant that his tea frying skills were basically in place.
Although it was definitely not as good as the female netizen's tea frying skills, he was definitely an expert in Tang Chao!
"Okay, the matter of frying tea is over.”
"Next, we'll post on the Internet and discuss important decisions!”
" During this period, remember to go to the seed company and buy high-yield rice seeds, wheat seeds, and rubber seeds!”
Li Ke looked at the plan on the notebook. The bottom of the plan had basically been ticked off, indicating that it had all been completed.
Now, there were only two things that had not been ticked.
One was to discuss the development decisions after transmigrating.
One was the three items he wanted to bring over.
He had already decided on these three items.
Just three seeds!
Rice seeds and wheat seeds were a must!
The reason why the ancient dynasties were unstable was because they did not have enough food to eat!
If he brought these two kinds of high-yield grain seeds over, it would definitely solve the problem of insufficient grain perfectly!
Moreover, the most important thing was that these two kinds of grain seeds could not be cultivated in the Tang Dynasty!
There was no such skill!
The things he wanted to bring were, first of all, of great use. Secondly, they were things that could not be produced in the Tang Dynasty.
Grain seeds were undoubtedly the most suitable for this requirement.
It was the same for rubber seeds. However, rubber seeds existed on Earth in the Tang Dynasty, but they had to fly across the sea to find them!
If they wanted to cross the ocean to find it, they would have to complete their industrialisation and build a fleet of steamships before they could safely reach South America.
However, rubber was also one of the four basic raw materials for the industry. Without rubber, it was impossible to complete the process of industrialization!
Therefore, he had to bring rubber along!
