After dinner, Yang Fan's family collectively sprang into action.
The tea leaves, having already been dried, needed to be pan-fired to stop oxidation as soon as possible.
This was something that couldn't be delayed at all.
If left dried for too long, they could only be processed using white tea techniques, but that method had higher requirements for temperature and the tea plant varieties.
It seemed as simple as letting natural fermentation take place, but it actually involved attention to a lot of details.
Anyway, Yang Fan lacked the skills; he had tried it before, but the outcome was far from satisfactory.
Sticking to the reliable old-fashioned pan-frying was a better option.
In Yang Fan's house, he was really the only one who excelled at pan-frying tea, so naturally, he became the main force.
He took care of the most crucial three steps—kill-green, rolling, shaping—before handing them over to Little Mother to dry.
