When they returned to the door of their house, they met Aunt Liu who had come back.

The other party was holding a sling of meat in his hand.

About two catties.

When Aunt Liu saw a few people coming back, she smiled and said hello, "Oh, did you go out to play?"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I went out for a walk after dinner, Aunt Liu, are you buying meat again?"

While talking, she looked at the two catties of pork belly in her hand.

Aunt Liu raised the meat in her hand cheerfully when she heard the words, "Oh, no! Isn't this the New Year's Eve, a New Year's gift from my third child!"

After speaking, he looked at the box in Xiao He's hand.

"Is this a shopping? What did you buy?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at it curiously, but unfortunately it was covered.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled, "Oh, I didn't buy anything, it's the Chinese New Year soon! I went to a department store to buy something."

Aunt Liu saw that she couldn't see it, so she stopped looking.

He smiled and said to Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, bring a bowl for dinner tonight, and my aunt will give you some meat to eat."

The little guy chuckled when he heard the words, "Aunt Liu, forget it, I don't like meat!"

Hearing her words, Aunt Liu twisted her mouth, "You child, there is no one who doesn't like meat! Your mother lied to you."

Zhou Xiaochuan was speechless for a while.

In the era of meat shortage, some parents always come up with some messy reasons.

Fool children.

But how old is Xiaomi, can he be fooled?

Xiao He couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zhou Xiaochuan: "Brother, I'll take the things back first."

Aunt Liu is also a mature person. Knowing that the other party doesn't want to talk anymore, she smiled at them and said, "Hey, you should be busy. I'm going back too. There are still many things at home!"

After saying hello, he turned and left.

The three of Zhou Xiaochuan went back to their home after seeing this.

Xiaomi looked at Aunt Liu who had already returned home, and smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan: "Brother, do you think she will be so distressed if I say that we will all go there at night?"

Zhou Xiaochuan rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Xiaomi smiled when he saw this.

At night, after Yang Yuemei came back, she saw the sewing machine in the room.

It was a look of surprise.

This thing, like a bicycle, is a big piece.

Many people have been unable to get tickets.

Zhou Xiaochuan got the ticket from Fatty Wang.

Because not everyone visits the black market, and not everyone is willing to spend money on these big items.

Xiaomi smiled and said, "Mother, this is what the second brother bought for you, and the eldest brother got the ticket."

Yang Yuemei couldn't put it down as she touched things.

"I don't know how to use this thing either! I'll try!"

After speaking, it is necessary to try with a needle and thread.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaohe shook his head, "Okay, mother, don't mess with it. Let's eat first! The hot pot I made today is delicious."

Yang Yuemei nodded when she heard the words, "Okay. I'll do it later that night."

In the evening, several people closed the door to eat hot pot.

And the little guy has started to eat spicy hot pot slowly.

After dinner in the evening, Yang Yuemei washed the dishes and went to try her sewing machine.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan prepared to go out for a trip.

"It's so late, it's snowing outside, don't go out!"

Yang Yuemei was talking to Zhou Xiaochuan.

"It's okay, I have something to go out."

Zhou Xiaohe knew what he was going to do, so he said to him: "Brother, wait for me, I will change my coat and go with you."

After finishing speaking, something came to mind, "By the way, brother, where is that guy? Give it to me!"

While speaking, he gestured to him.

Zhou Xiaochuan shook his head when he heard the words, "You don't need to go today, I'll go out to explore the wind, and I won't come back tonight. And I have something to do tomorrow, so don't worry if you don't come back."

After finishing speaking, he left the yard, rode his bicycle and left.

The person hasn't been found yet, why take Xiaohe there?

Riding a bike and strolling outside, this time I didn't change my mask, so as not to encounter people, and the IDs don't match up.

The car quickly shuttled through the alleys.

All he could notice were the radio stations hidden in the corner.

As for the secret agent without a radio station, unless he happened to discover the anomaly, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to find it.

The snow on the road has been trampled into mud.

It wasn't frozen yet.

Zhou Xiaochuan's investigation all the way really embarrassed him.

Saw too many things that shouldn't be seen.

Hot eyes.

After riding the bike for two hours, he let out a light snort.

"Hehe, I finally found the first one."

This radio station is hidden under someone's bed.

The box containing the radio was covered with dust, and it looked like it hadn't been used for a long time.

Seeing this scene, he frowned.

The other party has never used it. If this is reported, how did I find out?

Damn.

This is troublesome.

After thinking about it, I really can't think of any good way.

It can only be put on hold for the time being.

Remembering this address, I rode my bike and continued to search.

Where there was the first, there was the second, and soon the second was discovered.

But no one lives here.

Another headache.

When the third was spotted by him, he stopped...

There are two people in the room.

A man in his forties and a woman in her thirties.

"Hey, are you leaving now? Don't you stay here anymore?"

The woman said without looking back, "No, the children are still at home!"

It seems that the facial features are not good-looking, but the skin is relatively fair, and it has a pair of charming red phoenix eyes.

The other party stood in front of the bed and stretched out a hand.

"Where's the promised watch? How long has it been? A few months!"

The man curled his lips when he heard this.

However, he took out a wooden box from under the bed.

When it was opened, something was revealed inside.

Money, various tickets, some gold earrings and some oceans! Inside lay a silver-white ladies' watch.

And at the bottom, there is a handful of short guys.

The man handed her the watch.

The woman took the watch and tried it out, then reached out and grabbed some more bills from the box.

Didn't catch much.

And the silver dollars and jewelry inside were not touched.

The man didn't care either, and cheerfully put away the things and put them under the bed.

Seeing the pretense, the woman said to him: "You don't have to worry about being stolen if you put this thing here!"

The man took out the gun from the box and made a gesture.

Then he said with a smile: "As long as you don't let your mistresses come over to steal things, no one can steal them!"

Hearing his words, the woman gave him a blank look.

"If I had a concubine, would I still be able to hit you?"

After finishing speaking, he snorted, picked up the scarf next to him, put it on, and went out.

The man smiled when he saw this.

Didn't get up to lock the door either.

The man secretly sighed in his heart, these days, there are a lot fewer thieves, and it's actually pretty good here.

Buckle the side of the bed with your hand, and a piece of wood fell from the side of the old-fashioned bed.

A grid is revealed.

There was also a tin box inside.

After putting the things away, he touched the tin box next to him.

Sighing, he put the baffle back on.

Zhou Xiaochuan watched outside for a while.

It's not that he has any special hobbies, but to see if he can hear any useful information.

Seeing that there was no useful information, he rode away on his bicycle.

One night without sleep.

He has already toured half of the entire provincial capital.

After all, the car is riding fast, and there is no need to stop, just to see if it can find the radio station.

Found four places in one night.

This is only half, it seems that it is really a lot.

And it does not include the surrounding rural areas.

These rural areas will be designated as urban areas in the future, but they are still rural areas now.

In the middle, I also met many people who came out to perform tasks.

He felt that he had to explain it when he encountered it, and felt that it was troublesome and time-consuming, so he avoided it.

In the morning, I slept in the space.

When he came out, the sky was already bright.

Zhou Xiaochuan put on his mask and went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital.

But walking on the road, he was tsk-tsk, with a smile on his face.

One night last night not only allowed him to find four strongholds, but also let him know where many people lived.

Including people I knew in the factory before.

Even people like Yang Kai and Secretary Yang were discovered by him.

And there are really a lot of good things in Secretary Yang's house!

Nothing was taken away.

In case it is used in the future.

After waiting at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for a while, I saw a lot of people walking in from the outside.

The uncle in the reception room saw Zhou Xiaochuan at the door.

The other party stood at the door of the reception room and waved to Zhou Xiaochuan.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan walked over, "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Well, that kid Zhang Lin greeted me and said that if he saw you, he told you to wait in the room, come in, it's cold outside."

After speaking, he opened the door of the reception room.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan walked in.

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out one and handed it over.

The old man took the cigarette and pointed to the big bench next to him, "Sit there, it's warmer there!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, thanked him, and sat there.

Next to it is a coal stove with an aluminum kettle on top.

The kettle had been turned on long ago, and steam was steaming from it.

The old man had no intention of chatting with Zhou Xiaochuan either, he smoked the cigarette he gave him and hummed an unknown song.

But listening to the tune, it should be the tune of Huangmei Opera.

The people who went to work have already arrived one after another.

While he was waiting anxiously, Zhang Lin finally arrived after half an hour.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan teased: "Comrade Zhang Lin, what's the matter? Did you get up late? Or did you work too hard last night?"

Zhang Lin didn't realize it at first, "It's too late! Didn't I pick the leaves for you? Otherwise, how will I use them later? There are no tea leaves at this time!"

After speaking, he raised the bag in his hand.

Then he came to his senses and slapped Zhou Xiaochuan, "Don't talk nonsense, kid! I'm not married yet! You're insulting aspiring young people in the new era!"

Zhou Xiaochuan froze for a moment, took the bag in his hand and opened it for a look.

I saw a lot of young shoots inside, which looked about the size of tea leaves.

If he hadn't been sure at this time, it would be impossible for Huizhou to have fresh tea. He really thought it was tea.

Then he asked suspiciously, "What kind of leaf is this?"

"Osmanthus leaves! It took a lot of effort for this little thing."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, as if the sweet-scented osmanthus tree does not shed its leaves in winter.

Even if there is a small amount.

"It's too much trouble for you. You said I would have done it."

Zhang Lin waved his hands when he heard the words, "It's okay, I'm just joking, how much effort it takes to pick this up! Alright, let's go. The old man got up early."

After speaking, he smiled at the uncle next to him and said, "Master Wang, let's go first!"

Then he smoked a cigarette and handed it to him.

The old man took the cigarette and waved to him, indicating that he could leave.

Zhou Xiaochuan watched Zhang Lin's movements.

I feel that the other party is really capable of being a human being.

As the son of the director of the Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it can be said that he can walk sideways in this place.

But he was still so polite to a doorman.

This kind of person is also a talent.

Following the other party out of the reception room, Zhang Lin said: "I will ride in front, and you will follow behind!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

Seeing this, the other party pushed the cart out of the yard, and headed towards the main road.

Walking on the road, Zhang Lin said to him, "Where I will go soon! He is an old master, and he usually stays in the tea garden. Isn't it the Chinese New Year, so he came back."

"Was it in the public house before?"

Zhou Xiaochuan was puzzled for a while, if this kind of person had worked for a private boss, he would be unlucky too.

"Oh, before the establishment of the commune, the old man's family had a tea garden of about an acre, but the tea produced was never traded. He was just cultivating tea trees.

Later, the tea trees were cut down to grow food, and the old man was a little disheartened. A few years ago, the tea gardens in the province were restored, so I was invited to be a master. "

While riding the bicycle, he said happily: "I tell you, you will know when you go there. At Master Sun's side, you will know what tea tasting is. We drink tea at most."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence, "That's right. Master Sun's children died during the war! Now I am alone, so don't ask me when I go!"

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

Although it's a little strange why the other party is fine, but others will definitely not tell him.

Riding with each other for a while.

Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised for a while, "Is this going to the countryside?"

But instead of going to the countryside, they stopped in front of a small farmyard.

This is an earthen house.

Walls of mud mixed with rice husks, with a roof made of straw.

At this time, the snow on the roof melted a little, and some light yellow liquid fell from the eaves.

"Okay, here we are."

Zhang Lin parked the car, greeted him and led him in.

Zhou Xiaochuan followed after hearing the words.

"Master Sun, are you at home?"

Zhang Lin yelled into the room as he walked.

Hearing the sound, the door inside was opened.

An old man with half a head of white hair came out of it.

The old man is about sixty years old, very thin, but his eyes are very clear.

Not too cloudy.

Seeing Zhang Lin, he looked at Zhou Xiaochuan behind him and smiled, "Oh, it's Zhang Lin? Is this the person you mentioned?"

Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Yeah, didn't we agree last time? I brought him here today."

"Okay, come in!"

Master Sun nodded when he heard the words, leaned his hands on his back, and returned to the house.

The two followed into the room.

Zhou Xiaochuan glanced at it, this is a three-bedroom room plus a kitchen.

In fact, there are three rooms without any barriers.

A large through room is formed.

In the middle of the main room is a large Eight Immortals table and an incense table with a tall cabinet.

Just above hangs a portrait of the leader.

On the left is a large bed. And there is actually a slanted boiler on the right.

The old man pointed to the big bench next to the Eight Immortals table, "Sit down for a while!"

After speaking, he went to the direction of the upper cabinet.

Hearing this, Zhang Lin gestured to Zhou Xiaochuan.

Both sat down.

After Zhang Lin sat down, he looked around and said with a smile, "Master Sun, is there anything missing at home? Tell me, and I will buy it for you when the time comes."

Zhou Xiaochuan, on the other hand, set his eyes on a set of purple sand teapots on the table of the Eight Immortals.

Tea cups, teapots, tea bowls, tea cups, saucers, tea trays.

Except for the teacup, everything else is one.

The teacups are six white porcelain teacups.

This is the most complete tea set he has seen so far.

Except, of course, himself.

Others, including Zhao Qinian, used the big enamel jars, and most used white porcelain cups.

It is rare to see such a complete set.

After a while, the old man turned around and came back with an iron box in his hand.

"I'm a bad old man, what do I need? I have food and drink, as long as I don't starve to death."

After speaking, put the tea on the table.

Then I went to wash my hands.

Next, Zhou Xiaochuan saw a scene that he had only seen on TV before.

Hot cups and pots, pouring tea, washing tea, brewing, sealing pots, and dividing cups.

A set of movements is smooth and flowing.

It makes people look very comfortable.

"Drink, this is the tea brought by Zhang Lin!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lin took a sip of the teacup, and then said with a smile: "Master Sun, of course you need a craftsman like you to drink this good tea. If I drink it, it will be wasted."

The old man smiled and did not speak, but took a sip of tea.

Zhou Xiaochuan also picked it up and tasted it.

I don't know if it's because I just appreciated the old man's tea making skills, but now it tastes much better than just brewing it casually like this.

When the old man just took out the tea leaves, he knew that this was his own tea, and it was the best kind.

It's just that the amount is not much, only about one or two.

The cup is very small, so you can drink it in a few sips.

A few people are drinking tea here.

After the old man drank one cup, he didn't pour another cup, and the rest was divided between Zhang Lin and the two of them.

Looking at the two, the old man said slowly: "What kind of tea do you want to learn? I can only teach you once. As for how much you can learn, it's up to you."

Zhou Xiaochuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Zhang Lin.

Seeing this, the other party smiled and said, "Master Sun is better at green tea and yellow tea, but Master Sun is actually good at making black tea!"

Master Sun waved his hand, "There's nothing I'm good at or not good at. It's just that my master came from the south and taught the method of making black tea. I also used this craft as an apprentice in the tea garden."

Zhang Lin smiled when he heard the words: "Master Sun, don't be modest, the Pu'er tea you concocted, when I went to Yun Province, the old masters in the tea garden there said that the craftsmanship is not inferior to theirs."

Hearing Zhang Lin's words, the other party smiled and did not speak.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan reckoned that the old man's craftsmanship was really not bad.

Then he thought of something and said to Master Sun, "Master Sun, I want to learn how to make Pu'er tea."

Green tea, he feels that it may still be flawed, but it has been fried so many times.

At least it's not a big problem.

But I still don't know much about Pu'er.

It's just that I eavesdropped for a while last time.

Master Sun nodded when he heard the words, and said to Zhang Lin next to him, "Have you brought everything?"

"Bring it, bring it!"

Zhang Lin drank the last sip of tea in the cup, and hurriedly took out the cloth bag.

The old man took the leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and pinched them.

Then he said to Zhou Xiaochuan: "It's a little hard, and the leaves are a little small, but just use it. Time is limited, I can only teach you how to finish it on the spot, and the rest can only be dictated."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

A cup of tea down, too many steps.

Seeing this, Master Sun began to talk.

From the first step of picking, one bud and two leaves.

To the second step of withering, that is, to dry the tea leaves in the shade, to make the tea leaves soft and reduce the temperature required for finishing.

Volatilize the grassy smell, which is conducive to the development of tea fragrance.

The precautions inside are to dry and wither in the dry season, and to wither in the rainy season with hot air.

And how dry it is.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded while listening.

This is a bit different from making green tea directly.

After saying this, Master Sun brought a few people to the side of the inclined pot next to him.

"If you kill greens directly without withering, the temperature needs to be higher. The following is the most important finishing process for tea making."

After speaking, he said to Zhang Lin: "Zhang Lin, go to the bottom of the pot and help me lead the charcoal fire."

Zhang Lin nodded upon hearing this.

Only then did Master Sun turn around and say to Zhou Xiaochuan: "When finishing greens, the temperature stability is very important, which is related to the quality of the finished tea, so I usually use charcoal, and you can also use other methods. "

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded.

After a while Zhang Lin lit a fire underneath.

Master Sun felt the temperature in the big iron pot and poured some water into it.

After cleaning the pot, he waited for a while before he poured half of the bag of sweet-scented osmanthus leaves into it.

Bending over, his hands began to wrap up.

The old man was talking to himself while frying.

It doesn't matter whether Zhou Xiaochuan can understand or not.

"The temperature of the iron pot rises quickly, but it is difficult to control. Some masters like to use stone pots. It depends on the individual."

When Zhou Xiaochuan heard what he said, he naturally understood what it meant.

A pot with a stable temperature is very important for the tea master.

Where is the strength of the master master and other masters, isn't it the control of the fire?

At this moment, in his mind, he thought of the tea leaves fried by those tea factories.

Those machines in the tea factory with a set temperature, the tea leaves are actually very evenly roasted.

But there are pros and cons.

Machine fried more evenly. But it lacks the smell of fireworks.

Because no matter how powerful the master is, it is impossible for all the tea leaves to be subjected to the same temperature.

It may be because of the flaw of this smile that handmade tea is highly regarded.

Master Sun is very fast.

Hands are not afraid of being hot and rolling in the pot.

In fact, the time is not long, the whole process is only six or seven minutes.

After frying, he began to teach Zhou Xiaochuan how to knead.

"When kneading, remember to knead the old leaves hot and heavy, and knead the young leaves cold and lightly. The degree of severity depends on the size of the tea leaves and the water content. These all depend on experience. Also, kneading is not done once. , it needs to be re-kneaded so that the tea leaves in the future will be more fragrant."

When he was done, he stopped what he was doing.

"Okay, the rest of the greening, cake pressing and drying all take time, so we can only go here."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

He grabbed a handful of green leaves and put them in his hands.

Worthy of being a master.

The osmanthus leaves, let him knead them, are no different from tea leaves.

And there doesn't seem to be any traces like creases.

The old man hammered his waist and sighed, "Oh, it's no good, I'm getting old! I just rubbed my waist sorely."

After finishing speaking, he said to him, "There are still some left, you can try."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

Then I learned the old man's movements and started to do it.

In fact, it's not like the old man, that's how it's done when it's done.

And I have fired many times in the space, it's just that I didn't pay attention to some precautions.

After some stirring, he began to knead it.

Master Sun looked at Zhou Xiaochuan's movements and let out a little surprise.

But he didn't speak.

After Zhou Xiaochuan finished kneading, he said, "Then you made the tea?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan knew what tea the other party was talking about.

I sigh in my heart, it's really powerful.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

Master Sun nodded upon hearing this. But he didn't say anything.

When Zhang Lin saw that the two were done, he came out from under the stove.

He also heard what the two said just now, and looked at Zhou Xiaochuan in surprise.

Zhou Xiaochuan ignored him.

Think of Pu'er as being raw or cooked.

Then he said it to Master Sun.

But the other party shook his head when he heard the words, "I've never heard of the saying that raw Pu'er and cooked Pu'er tea are made. After Pu'er is made into tea cakes, it will be fermented slowly over time."

When Zhou Xiaochuan heard his words, he was puzzled for a while.

Did I remember wrongly?

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan's expression, Master Sun said: "Actually, your tea-making skills can already be regarded as master level. The problem with the tea before was also in finishing, and your technique has improved a lot now. There is also progress when making green tea."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded.

Indeed, finishing has always been an important step in making tea.

Master Sun looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to teach you. The rest depends on your own proficiency in the future. This will take time, and it won't be done overnight."

Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan understood that the other party was going to see off the guests.

After thanking the other party, he and Zhang Lin left.

Walking on the road, Zhou Xiaochuan asked strangely: "Zhang Lin, how did you invite Master Sun?"

Zhang Lin smiled when he heard the words, "Hey, Master Sun was reluctant at first, but he was willing to show up because of your tea."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded when he heard the words, he was still thinking about this question just now.

Masters of this level all have apprentices.

This kind of craft is generally taught to apprentices, and the unique skills are taught at the end.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Zhang Lin: "Zhang Lin~lightnovelpub.net~ No matter what this time, thank you. Let's have a meal later!"

Zhang Lin shook his head when he heard the words, "Let's forget about eating! Next time! Just don't forget about me in the tea leaves."

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, there are good tea leaves for you in the future."

"It's good to have your words."

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then separated.

Zhou Xiaochuan walked towards his home.

But on the way he stopped.

Because he saw a figure, it was the person who sold him the lacquer box that day.
