"Are you saying that we have products here that are valuable to you?" After listening to Lawrence, the tauren elder showed a puzzled expression. "Our ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years, so that's not the case at all.
I haven’t found anything of value in the outside world.”
At this point, the Tauren elder seemed to have thought of something and said to Lawrence. "If you just want to help us, you don't need to be like this. As Tauren, we believe in buying the future with our hands instead of relying on others.
Mercy or charity. There are some things you don’t need.”
"What kind of charity? What is unnecessary?" Lawrence felt a little confused when the elderly tauren shaman said this, but soon he thought of what the tauren was talking about. So he seemed a little bit confused.
He said helplessly. "What I just said is true. It is not the kind of relief prepared to give you to consider your self-esteem, but some very valuable wealth has really been discovered on your land."
"Oh, really?" The old tauren shaman lowered his head and looked at Lawrence and asked. "Can you tell me what the treasure you found is? I think we have lived here for so many years, we should be able to
Help you better develop these treasures. Just provide you with assistance as stipulated in our agreement just now."
"Well - actually, those treasures are obviously the tea leaves that grow on the tea trees in the entire hilly area." Looking at the other party's attitude that if you don't tell me, you are lying to me, and then considering that I want to develop this area in the future.
The tea in the area also required the cooperation of these tauren, so Lawrence simply told what the treasure he had discovered was.
"Are you talking about those bitter teas?" The tauren shaman had an incredulous expression on his face. "But the taste of those bitter teas is really terrible. We have tried to drink them since we knew they were tea leaves.
, but the bitter taste is even unacceptable to our tongues. In the end, it can only be used as a medicinal herb for people or animals."
"Now you tell me that you want these bitter teas and say they are treasures, then how will you use these bitter teas?" Finally the tauren shaman asked. "You are going to use this tea as a raw material to purify the effective contents.
What about the ingredients? Or use these tea leaves for other purposes.”
"We just treat them as drinks." At this point, Lawrence looked at the tauren shaman's expression of disbelief and quickly explained. "Of course, not according to the original method, the original method
We definitely can’t drink it, but we found a way to improve these teas.”
"Are you using the power of nature to change these tea trees?" The tauren shaman looked at Lawrence seriously and said, "I am not optimistic about your attempts, because our ancestors have tried to use magic to improve these tea trees.
Tea trees, but it only takes a year or two for them to recover due to the surrounding environment."
"As a result, our ancestors had to give up the original idea. Because they found that if they relied on magic once a year, the cost would be far higher than the value of the tea itself. Therefore, we would rather simply
I will no longer do such stupid things as using this tea as a medicine."
"So, I am very curious about how you humans can change the nature of these tea leaves." Finally, the tauren shaman looked at Lawrence seriously and said. "If you can really change the characteristics of these tea trees.
, please allow me to observe how you do it. Because I think this may help me learn a better way to communicate with nature."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shaman." Lawrence smiled and shook his head. "The method we mastered this time has nothing to do with changing the trees themselves. To be precise, we changed the tea leaves themselves through other methods this time.
The characteristics make tea suitable for normal people to drink."
"Change the tea leaves?" The tauren shaman asked after thinking for a while. "You don't want this tea to have no tea flavor at all, right? In fact, we have also tried adding a lot of spices to try to change the taste of the tea, but that
Not only does it require a lot of spices, but it also makes the tea soup have no tea flavor at all and is all spices. But in this case, why should we make tea."
"Of course we won't do that." Lawrence said, taking two small bags of black tea that could be brewed directly from the hands of the little doll Nora and handing them to the tauren shaman. "You can try these.
The tea leaves that have been treated by special means have a unique aroma and are tea leaves that have been treated with a completely new treatment method."
"Really?" The tauren shaman opened the paper bag and smelled the dry tea leaves that turned dark red after fermentation. "It smells pretty good. I will accept this gift. When I go back
Just try brewing these tea leaves and taste the difference between your new varieties and the bitter tea leaves I drank before."
"They are very different from the tea leaves you made by frying green tea in the past." Lawrence finally warned. "Those tea leaves with whole leaves are directly brewed with water and then consumed, while the powdered tea leaves are added after brewing.
Drink with milk and sugar. Because these two types of tea are taken from different parts of the tea leaves, different brewing methods can bring out the best flavor."
After introducing the brewing and drinking method and sending the tauren elder away, Lawrence and Nora went back to the room to rest together. Fifteen minutes later, he looked like it was still an hour or two before dinner.
He heard someone knocking on the door excitedly. When he opened the door, he found the old tauren shaman standing outside the door with a anxious look on his face.
"What's the matter with you?" Lawrence asked. According to the previous plan, if there were no accidents, they would have dinner together at dinner time, so he was a little curious as to why the tauren elder came to him at this time.
After all, for those of them who are the leaders of the forces, this kind of unannounced visit is considered a relatively rude thing, unless there is an emergency that needs to be discussed immediately.
"The tea you made before, tea -" Unexpectedly, after the door opened, the tauren elder opened his mouth and just said the word tea repeatedly because he was too excited. Lawrence's first reaction was
Is that kind of fermented tea different for tauren in some aspects than for humans, so whoever drank it was poisoned?
"What's wrong with the tea?" Lawrence couldn't help but become nervous at the tauren's rhythm and asked. "I drank a whole cup in the morning and there was no problem. Let me go and see if there is a problem."
That person. I carry some healing potions with me."
"What's the problem with drinking?" After listening to Lawrence's words, the tauren elder also showed a strange expression on his face. "No one has a problem. The reason why I came to you is because I just followed what you said.
Method: Brew a cup of each type of tea. To be honest, if you hadn’t told me the raw materials of these teas, I wouldn’t have believed that they were processed from tea leaves grown on the tea trees here.”
"This is why I came to you, because I can see the future of our Tauren from these tea leaves." Finally, the Tauren shaman revealed his purpose. "So after drinking the tea, I
I just rushed here, hoping to discuss with you the knowledge on how to develop those tea forests."
"Ah, that's it." Lawrence nodded and let the tauren shaman through the door and continued. "Then please come in. I think we can use this little time before dinner to briefly discuss this.
