The tea that Qin Guodong took from him last time was originally roasted and taken out for drinking, so he just packed it casually in a plastic bag. One is that I don¡¯t have a suitable jar, and I want to make it easier to use. But this time I plan to give it to him, so I have to be more careful about the packaging. People rely on clothing and packaging. Just like when I saw the news two days ago, what is youth? Some college students lamented, "Only good-looking people have youth. People like us only have college." No matter what kind of tea, it can only be Its value can only be reflected after brewing, and you can't rely on its appearance at all. Green tea is like this. If it is black tea or Pu'er, it will be a pitch-black mess, even looking a little ugly. If you drink it yourself, many people will look at the packaging of the tea, let alone buy tea to give away. How can you do it casually? The characteristics of tea determine that if it is excellent tea, if the packaging is too poor, then people may not really think it is a good thing. If it is just a medium-quality tea, if you give it an excellent package, people will take a good look at it, and they will even think about it when they look back, thinking about how it would taste when brewed. So when mooncakes and liquor are packaged, they can be sold at a sky-high price, making them a blockbuster gift during the New Year. Those consumer concepts that advocate "healthy living", coupled with the promotion of tea manufacturers, have undoubtedly made tea keep pace with the times, and have also transformed into a commodity sold and packaged. No matter whether the tea is good or bad, first of all, the packaging must be of high quality! Although Qin Guodong loves to drink tea, he has tasted this gift and knows the taste, but the tea container is too casual and it is not good. Looking outside the window, the streets were already busy with traffic. Xu Yi took his wallet and went straight out. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Walking quickly and slowly, walking around a few nearby streets, but ultimately came back empty-handed. Xu Yi went out to visit a few stores. After communicating with the store owners, Xu Yi confirmed what he had always suspected. The train ride from my hometown to the provincial capital passes through mostly hilly areas, and there are also many tea gardens along the way. However, when I go to the supermarket, I rarely see tea from this province on sale. Xu Yi once thought that in the end it could only be boiled down to a question of quality. The climate in most areas of the province is suitable for the growth of tea trees. There are also many tea farmers, and even some districts and counties regard the tea industry as a key industry. However, the tea industry has not been the focus of development since ancient times. For example, many tea-growing districts and counties also grow Camellia oleifera - which specializes in harvesting tea fruits and pressing oil. In recent years, food safety has been frequently exposed, and genetically modified oils have also been hacked. Therefore, the market trend of oil crops such as camellia oil, which is packaged as healthy oil, is very good, and it is much better than ordinary agricultural cultivation. But after all, this province is still a land of plenty in the traditional sense. The extensive water network also makes agricultural cultivation more inclined to rice cultivation. The dry fields are mainly cereals and cash crops such as rape and cotton. Tea has never been a very important pillar industry. ?Early years. Each region also has its own tea factory and produces some local tea varieties. However, the acceleration of commodity circulation and the impact of foreign brands have caused local brands to shrink day by day. Coupled with the impact of the wave of layoffs, it is not surprising that these mainly state-owned tea factories have closed down and switched production. In recent years, most tea gardens in the province have outsourced their tea leaves to purchasers, either to produce low value-added tea bags or tea drinks, or to make tea powder or extract tea polyphenols. It is really rare to use it to make high-end tea. This has also caused the province's tea production to fall into a downturn, completely reducing it to raw material tea. More unscrupulous tea merchants will use different tea tree varieties. There is a phenomenon of buying different fresh leaves and then passing them off as a brand name of a certain tea from a certain place. Of the stores Xu Yi went to, only one store clearly stated that it sold green tea and jasmine produced in the province at real prices. Other stores, on the surface, don¡¯t even sell tea from the province. On the contrary, there are all kinds of famous teas such as Longjing, Tieguanyin and Pu'er in various price ranges. As for whether these teas are processed from local tea leaves, at least Xu Yi himself can't tell. Of course, Xu Yi didn¡¯t go there just for the tea. He just wanted to find a tea can with a reasonable style and price. However, he has not found a tea can that he is satisfied with that is sold separately in the store. Several stores sell tea cans, but they only have very ordinary aluminum cans or iron cans, not to mention any design. The variety of tea packaging really opened Xu Yi¡¯s eyes. However, there are only two models that he is satisfied with. One is a wooden square tube with embossed patterns of pines and cranes prolonging the years; the other is pottery with cursive calligraphy engraved on it. According to the boss, it is made of purple sand. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or false. No matter how he discussed it, the boss insisted that these two tea cans came with the tea leaves and were not sold separately. If you want the cans, you have to buy them together with the tea leaves. Seeing that Xu Yicheng wanted to get it, he was given a certain benefit in terms of price. However, after Xu Yi asked about the price, he smiled sarcastically, found an excuse and left. Comes with packaging. The prices of these two teas have reached four figures. Although the tea grades written on the packaging all read special grade, and the boss also boasted that this tea was rare and hard to find in the sky and underground. If you miss this village without this shop Xu Yi also doubted the true level of this tea. How could this happen? It cannot compare with the quality and taste of tea produced in your own space. I have my own preference when it comes to drinking tea, so I bought tea rashly and sent it over. If it didn¡¯t suit Qin Guodong¡¯s taste, it would be bad. Did you really pay such a high price to keep the tea leaves just for the tea can? Thinking about it myself, I feel that I can¡¯t afford such expensive tea. This idea is as touching as the funny guy who buys a casket for a pearl. It seems that the way to buy tea cans is not feasible, so I have to make another decision. After thinking about it carefully, Xu Yi also had an idea - if we can't buy a suitable one, it's okay to make one ourselves. There is definitely no shortage of materials. Of course, based on the principle that the material is hard enough and must not have any odor, Xu Yi finally chose to use bamboo to process the tea cans. Xu Yi walked to the pile of bamboo poles and bent down to carefully select them. He took out a few bamboo poles and compared them one by one. Finally, I selected a bamboo pole with suitable thickness and corresponding pitch and carried it to the edge of the band saw. I started the machine to remove the bamboo roots with too short pitch below, and then cut off the top bamboo shoots, leaving only a section of bamboo pole in the middle. ?Measure the length again and cut them into appropriate lengths. After taking the bamboo joints on one side, Xu Yi repeatedly measured their diameter and thickness with a caliper, recorded them one by one on paper, and then calculated them again. Clamp them separately on the lathe and adjust them to remove the layer of wax skin on the inner and outer sides. At the same time, trim it into a barrel shape. The materials that were originally processed in this way should be steamed again to remove the sugar in the bamboo to avoid insect infestation or cracking after long-term use. But there was no time, and Qin Guodong must have his favorite tea cans, so it should be fine if this is just used as packaging. Pick up a set and use a lathe to cut out the sleeve where the tank body and lid meet. The processing of this blank is finished. After all, the tools are handy and the materials are good, so processing these things is not difficult for Xu Yi at all. After processing, hold the two ends and try to close them and then open them, they will fit perfectly. Xu Yi also felt confident and continued to process according to this. Within a few minutes, a pile of bamboo tubes turned into five small bamboo pots on the workbench that were as colored as topaz. Their height and thickness almost reached the golden ratio, each of which could hold about two taels of tea leaves. Picking one up and playing with it for a while, Xu Yi nodded, feeling quite satisfied. ??????????????????????????????? Obviously this jar will not look good if it is bare. Xu Yi also thought about carving some patterns or patterns on it. This is no longer Xu Yi¡¯s specialty. He does not consider himself to have such a high level of artistic accomplishment, so he simply plans to continue to carry forward the spirit of one-time use. After I had some space, I found a set of ink paintings of the Four Gentlemen online, adjusted them to a suitable size and printed them out directly on paper. Pick up a picture and carefully moisten it with water, adjust the position and stick it on a bamboo tube, then take a pencil and copy it on the paper with a little force. Check that there are no missed pen places, then tear off the paper, and then carefully outline the light scratches with a pen. After completion, Xu Yi compared it with the original drawing. I realize that there are almost nine points of similarity. To correct the obvious flaws, Xu Yi replaced the drill bit on the lathe with the thinnest one, turned on the motor, held the bamboo tube with his hand, used the drill bit as a carving knife, and carefully carved on the bamboo tube along the pencil line he had sketched before. stand up. Then polish the finished tea can smooth. The pine, bamboo, plum orchid trees also look more and more vivid, and a set of four placed side by side looks really impressive. When making the nest foundation earlier, all the beeswax was used up. Calculating the time outside, Xiao Li was coming back soon. It was too late to boil the beeswax now. So Xu Yi had no choice but to give up on the waxing step and just be prepared to leave it at that. After all, bamboo tubes are breathable, so Xu Yi¡¯s tea leavesThe inside was lined with food bags, and then the tea was put inside. The remaining unengraved tea can, Xu Yi planned to use it for the time being and was too lazy to decorate it. He just put the remaining tea leaves in it and that was it. As for the box of Longjing given by Fatty¡¯s parents, Xu Yi felt that apart from the fact that the frying skills were better than his own, the taste was completely different from the tea in the space, so he might as well keep it to entertain his guests. However, holding these jars didn¡¯t look good. Xu Yi thought about it and moved another piece of oak, cut a small section from it, and processed it into boards to make two small square wooden boxes. Each box is just big enough to fit two tea cans side by side. The depth of the lower half of the box is almost two-thirds of the diameter of the tea cans. This way, you can easily take out the tea can by simply pulling off the lid. As usual, I found a suitable decorative pattern to be engraved on the box and engraved it on the surface of the box, and engraved my Qingyuan icon in seal script in the center. After a little polishing, the wooden box became more and more primitive. Then Xu Yi found a big bag, put two watermelons in it, and put some cantaloupe on top, ready to take it with him. (To be continued.) PS: Hey, it¡¯s updated again, isn¡¯t it amazing? It¡¯s empty recently, but it can¡¯t be updated every day. I still have things to do.
