”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.
