The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 37 An Increasingly Perfected Planting Space

At this time, tea is a commodity used for export to earn foreign exchange, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy good tea.

Ordinary people can only afford to buy some high-quality snacks to try.

To put it simply, "gaosui" refers to tea leaf fragments.

You can guess how it will taste without even thinking about it.

Perhaps many people of this era would make the right decision, but Li Qin simply couldn't get used to it.

"Since we can't buy ready-made tea leaves, we'll find a way to transplant a few tea trees into this planting space, and then we can solve the problem of drinking tea."

Li Qin thought about it more and more and felt that this method was feasible.

The key question now is, from where should we transplant the tea trees?

Just then, Li Qin suddenly thought of something.

That was when Fei Niao discovered several wild tea trees in Baihua Mountain yesterday during his exploration.

Thinking of this, Li Qin suddenly had an idea.

However, he had just finished eating and was not in a good position to exercise, so he was not in a hurry to leave the planting space.

"I'll take this opportunity to test the effects of the magic feed I just made."

With a casual wave of his hand, Li Qin sent the magical feed he had just collected flying out and scattering it across the courtyard.

As soon as the feed appeared, the young birds that had been running around in the yard seemed to be attracted by something and immediately began to search for the magical feed on the ground to eat.

Under Li Qin's control, more feed began to fly out of the room and eventually flew straight up to the top of the forest.

next second.

The forest within the space looked as if a rain of feed had fallen.

Countless magical feeds were scattered throughout the mountains and forests.

Li Qin himself couldn't remember exactly how many birds, rabbits, and other animals he had collected from Baihua Mountain before.

However, it is foreseeable that the number will certainly not be small.

As these feeds appeared in the mountains and forests, the once quiet forests suddenly became lively.

Pheasants, sparrows, pigeons...

Hare, squirrel...

All the animals set out to search for magical food in the mountains and forests.

After providing enough feed, Li Qin stopped worrying about the situation in the mountains.

To see the effects of the magic feed, it's best to feed it continuously for ten to fifteen days; the changes will then become clear.

After feeling that his stomach was no longer bloated, Li Qin left the planting space and reappeared in the Hundred Flowers Mountain outside.

Li Qin casually put away the magic leather case, and then used his divine power to locate the wild tea tree.

With the images transmitted by the divine power in mind, Li Qin decisively activated his Apparition Shift.

With a "snap" sound, Li Qinren disappeared from his original spot and reappeared in another part of Baihua Mountain.

Not far in front of him, there were more than a dozen wild tea trees.

Li Qin had no knowledge of tea trees, so he couldn't tell which species these dozen or so wild tea trees belonged to.

However, judging from the leaves and color of the tea trees, Li Qin thought that the tea produced by these tea trees should be quite good.

Li Qin did not rush to transplant the tea trees, but first inspected them.

"Very good. There are no signs of human activity around these tea trees, nor any signs of them being harvested. No one should know that these tea trees exist."

Once he confirmed this, Li Qin no longer hesitated.

He immediately used a spell to dig up the tea tree along with the surrounding soil and transplant it into the planting space.

Li Qin even specially designated an area in the mountains and forests within the space for transplanting tea trees.

To prevent accidents, he even modified the environment of this area to be almost identical to the original environment in which the tea trees lived.

"These tea trees are crucial to my future tea supply, so I can't be careless. Just to be on the safe side, I'll use a growth spell to help them out."

Originally, the transplant would have been the end of the process.

But just as Li Qin was about to leave, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

They then stopped walking.

"Auspicious signs are appearing!"

As the weather spell was activated, a dark cloud suddenly gathered over the area where the tea tree was located.

Because there are only a dozen or so tea trees, the area occupied is very small. Therefore, when using the weather spell, Li Qin controls the power of the spell.

In the end, the area covered by the dark clouds was very small.

It's only slightly larger than the tea plantation area.

After completing the watering process, Li Qin immediately dispelled the dark clouds in the sky, then squatted down and began to activate the growth spell.

"Accelerate growth!"

Like the Weather Spell, the Growth Spell's influence was also controlled by Li Qin.

As the spell took effect, the tea trees, which had looked somewhat listless due to the transplant, suddenly became as if they had been injected with hormones.

The "spirit" has become abnormal.

Then the tea trees began to grow rapidly.

The tea tree first blossoms, then bears fruit, and finally the seeds fall to the ground.

Then, under the influence of the growth spell, these seeds began to take root, sprout, and grow.

Soon, the number of tea trees in the tea garden, which originally had only a dozen or so, increased several times over.

Seeing this, Li Qin had no choice but to continue maintaining the growth spell while using other spells to move the newly grown tea trees to a different location.

This ensures the spacing between each tea tree.

This ensures that each tea tree receives enough nutrients.

When the tea garden had about a hundred tea trees, Li Qin began to control the growth of new tea trees.

Instead, they focused on these one hundred tea trees.

Soon all the tea trees grew up.

And the tea can already be picked.

"Fortunately, I had seen the detailed tea-making process before I transmigrated, otherwise even if I had planted the tea trees, I wouldn't have known how to handle them."

It must be said that there are simply too many ways to acquire knowledge in the modern world.

Even without specifically searching, Li Qin still acquired a lot of knowledge through his normal internet browsing and watching videos.

Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person; having seen it only meant that he had seen it.

However, after transmigrating and merging with the divine spark, all the knowledge he had acquired before, even if he had only glanced at it, was no longer valid.

They were all gathered and organized by the divine.

As long as Li Qin has mastered the relevant knowledge, he can completely replicate it through magic even without having practiced it himself.

Just like using life's magic to cook.

Li Qin immediately retrieved relevant information about tea making from his divine essence;

Tea making is a complex and meticulous process involving multiple steps and procedures, which can be broadly divided into several steps:

Picking: This is the first step in tea making. The picked tea leaves are called tea leaves or fresh leaves, including the terminal buds of new shoots, the first, second, third, and fourth leaves, etc.

Withering: Spreading out the picked tea leaves to dry in the sun or evaporating moisture with hot air.

Fixing: This process involves using methods such as high-temperature frying, heating, or sun exposure to destroy the enzyme activity in the tea leaves, prevent further oxidation, maintain the green color of the tea, remove bitterness, and enhance the aroma of the tea.

Rolling: Rolling tea leaves by hand or machine to shape them into curls or strips.

Drying: This involves removing most of the moisture from the tea leaves through high-temperature baking or sun drying.

Fermentation: This is a key step in the production of black tea. By controlling temperature and humidity, chemical changes in the tea leaves are promoted, resulting in the unique color and flavor of black tea.

Screening and grading: The processed tea leaves are screened to remove impurities and substandard tea leaves, ensuring the quality of the tea.

Packaging: Finally, the selected tea leaves are packaged according to the appropriate packaging method based on the different types of tea.

Tea making is not only a technical skill, but also requires a wealth of experience and patience.

Different types of tea (such as green tea, black tea, oolong tea, etc.) have specific processes and requirements in their production to create their unique flavors and qualities.

If Li Qin were to follow this information and personally attempt to make the tea, it would naturally be impossible for him to succeed.

Even if you succeed, the tea produced in the end won't be good.

But with the involvement of magic, things change.

Moreover, among the information Li Qin retrieved were even corresponding instructional videos.

With the help of the spell, Li Qin suddenly realized that tea making was actually a very simple thing.

As Li Qin waved his arms, he once again unleashed the curse of life.

He then witnessed firsthand how the tea leaves on the tea trees were automatically picked.

The subsequent withering, fixation, rolling, drying, and fermentation processes all require a significant amount of time.

But now, all Li Qin needs to do is wave his hand, and the matter is settled.

Because the tea is made using magic, the finished product contains no impurities or substandard tea leaves.

Therefore, there is no need for screening.

Looking at the fragrant tea leaves in front of him, a look of satisfaction flashed across Li Qin's face.
