Lin Fuyue immediately stood up and looked at the black tea grains exposed from the boy's basket.

"My God, these are actually dropped tea grains, where did you find them?"

"It was found on the back mountain of Kaoshan Village, the head of the village led us to reclaim the mountain.

The leaves on that mountain did not fall this season, so we picked up these fruits in the grass. "

"These are the tea seeds that fall from the tea tree. They can be squeezed for oil. They are more fragrant than peanut oil and rapeseed oil. Let's go, I'll go and see with you."

Lin Fuyue was overjoyed, and turned to the dozen or so teenagers in the room and said, "Just make down jackets in the room, don't be lazy."

"Sister Lin, don't worry, we've already learned how to make more than one down jacket today."

The boy who learned how to make clothes said cheerfully that they will have delicious food again and new down jackets to wear.

Could they be unhappy? They happily waved goodbye to Lin Fuyue, and quickly lowered their heads to do the work.

The boy who came back with the tea seeds came back on horseback, and now Sister Lin is going with her.

He prepared the carriage, and now, there is a carriageway down the mountain halfway down the mountain.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Fuyue looked at the basket of tea seeds and knew that there must be a lot of tea trees there.

This reminded her involuntarily of the happy time of picking tea seeds in her previous life.

Since there are not many tea trees in their village, they can only go to the mountains of neighboring villages to pick up leftovers from others.

The neighbor's woman can harvest hundreds of catties of tea oil every year when she goes to other villages to pick up tea seeds. What an attractive figure.

Therefore, the tea picking team is often quite large, and there are her and her brother in the team.

At that time, it was just dawn, and the quiet countryside began to boil again. On the mountain in the east, half of the sun's face was exposed.

The crowing of chickens, ducks and geese rang together, and the smoke from cooking rose slowly from the roofs of every house.

All the men, women and children in the village had a quick bite of breakfast and set off together.

Some of them carried baskets on their backs, and some had various bags around their necks. Lin Fuyue and her brother were caught in the middle of the team.

They held hooks or snakeskin bags in their hands, and everyone talked and laughed on the road.

Once entering the mountain, everyone is like beans in a dustpan scattered on the ground, and they disperse. It depends on how many tea seeds you can pick up.

At that time, it was the slack season for grain returning to the warehouse, but everyone refused to be idle, so they must go to the mountains to "earn extra money".

Ripe tea seeds are very hard, and it hurts if you hit someone.

Many of the active figures in the tea forest are old people, some of them wear glasses, and they can harvest five or six catties a day.

Some of them lay down on the ground and groped and identified carefully, but they could only pick up a catty or two of tea seeds a day.

What Lin Fuyue remembers most is that there is a thin old lady in her 70s.

Show her the posture of lying on the ground to pick up tea. It is skillful and generous, which makes people laugh, and then it is sad, but it is more respectful.

She was still wanting to be lazy and asked, "You old man has worked so hard, and you can't extract much oil if you pick up this in a day. Why don't you rest at home."

The old man smiled and responded to her: "I'm used to it, and the accumulation can be more than a month. Wouldn't it be a few catties of oil? You don't know, these fruits have grown for a year. It's a pity not to pick them up."

The old man's words moved her, she was in awe of nature, and she was punctual.

Camellia oleifera tree blooms and bears fruit in one year, giving birth to life.

Why don't you cherish them and let them rot in the grass?
Invite friends, see you tomorrow in the tea forest...

"Sister Lin, we're here." The boy's cheerful tone interrupted Lin Fuyue's memory.

Lin Fuyue thought that her past life, which was still fresh in her memory, would be gone forever, but she never knew that she would have a chance to relive it.

"Mother, what were you thinking just now? You look so happy." Lu Yufan asked tightly.

His mother pulled him and sat in the carriage, holding him tightly for a while, and loosening it for a while.

If he hadn't seen the smile on his mother's face, he would have thought it was something bad.

"Mother is so happy when she thinks about picking tea seeds in the past, let's hurry up and pick up tea seeds."

Lin Fuyue also grew up in the countryside, so I don't know if she picked tea seeds or not.

"Mother, do you like tea oil?" Lu Yufan didn't really want to know the answer.

He just wanted to have something to say to his mother, so he would pick topics that Lin Fuyue was very interested in.

"That's for sure, otherwise I wouldn't be so happy. Tea seed oil is not only fragrant, but also good for the body."

Lin Fuyue wouldn't know either, because Lu Yufan was only a few years old and he was just perfunctory.

She feels that education has to start from the baby, and what they learn at this time is deeply remembered.

So the mother and son walked to the back mountain of the mountain village, talking non-stop.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw a tea forest, but it was not lined up like in later generations.

The tea trees here are mixed with other trees, some of which are taller than the tea trees, which greatly affects the harvest of tea seeds.

Now, it is already December, and the tea grains have all taken off their green coats.

Some tea grains are black, others are brown tea kernels, they fall to the ground, lying there quietly bathing in the sun.

Maybe a tea sapling will grow in the next year, and other jobs will be gone. What a waste of money.

Seeing his wife and son coming, Lu Shaoqian immediately walked up, "Yue'er, do you know what this is?"

"I know, these are tea seeds, which can be used to extract oil..." Lin Fuyue said softly.

Lu Shaoqian laughed from ear to ear, there are such good things, and they will have tea seed oil to eat in the future.

The boy excitedly told everyone to quickly pick up the tea seeds on the ground.

He told everyone what Lin Fuyue said verbatim, everyone heard that it was more fragrant than peanut oil.

A few teenagers, following the example of the little gray wolf, went to find a basket to pick up the tea seeds on the ground.

"Don't be in a hurry, start searching from the place where there are tea trees, and pick up all the tea seeds on the ground, so that there is no last one left."

"Okay, sister Lin, don't worry, we are as keen-eyed as you, and we won't let a single grain go."

Lin Fuyue also wanted to squat down to pick up tea seeds, but was stopped by Lu Shaoqian: "Yue'er, you are pregnant, so don't squat down, let them pick it up."

"Ok."

Lin Fuyue said happily again: "At this time, it is also beneficial to drop the tea seeds, firstly, it saves the step of picking and climbing trees.

Climbing will also hurt the tea tree, and you may not be able to pick good fruits. The tea seeds will fall when they reach the stage.

Especially the tea seeds that mature and fall off naturally, the tea seeds that are picked up again have better oil and water, and more than five catties of tea oil can be squeezed out from twenty catties.

The price of camellia oil is gratifying, if it is a good way to make money in modern times.

However, Lin Fuyue would be very happy even if the tea seeds picked up for nothing could not be turned into silver.
