At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

Chapter 48 The Buddhist scripture collection team is in danger

The fat official in charge of Xiushan Village had a broken leg the next day and could no longer continue to supervise, so they replaced the team leader with someone else. This time it was a tall official with a smile, who made everyone smile. I won’t be angry either. I will only whip you slowly when you work slowly, but it won’t be severe at first. If you do it again, it will only get harder and harder.

Of course, the fat official had a broken leg. There was no investigation. I only heard that when he went to the toilet in the middle of the night, he was too sleepy and accidentally fell from the river. It was almost dawn when he woke up from his coma and shouted for help before he was rescued.

Asked him what the specific situation was, he couldn't explain clearly. He only said that someone was harming him.

Later, the matter was settled and the people who supervised Xiushan Village became more strict. However, the new person in charge did not always target Xiushan Village. On the contrary, because Liu Erhu stuffed two taels of silver into his pocket, the tall and thin man who supervised Xiushan Village was still more tolerant of the people in Xiushan Village. Occasionally, when it was not important, he could also let them do some light work.

Of course, the real situation of this matter is not clear to the villagers, but after this incident, the people in the village admired Boss An even more.

Look at people, things are really going on in the village~

Boss An doesn’t know what they think. If he knew, he would definitely say, I’m not, I didn’t, I was forced to, wuwuwu

When the people who went to Xiushan Village to do corvee work were exhausted, the people of Xiushan Village welcomed them back, and those who went to learn Buddhist scriptures and buy tea seedlings with An Laoer came back.

Several people were worse off than when they were fleeing the famine. They were all in tatters, their hair and beards were stuck to their faces, and they were all the color of mud and water.

What are the people in the village wondering? The people who came back burst into tears when they saw the village chief!

Originally, when they set out, they met knowledgeable tea merchants in the county. An Laoer and his party humbly asked them for advice. Due to regional and climate problems, they were advised to find some better varieties of tea seedlings in the province. plant.

An Lao'er and his party followed the tea merchant's suggestion and visited more than a dozen tea-producing cities and regions in the province along the way. Time was short, and he walked around the stone platform almost in a big circle. He really felt that different tea varieties produced different teas.

The same kind of tea, because the mother plants are planted in different places, the tea produced is different, and there are many tricks in it.

Tea at this time is also called Tuancha. The tea is made into tea cakes. Every time you drink tea, you pick up a piece of tea, put it in a container and pound it into powder. When boiling, add onions, ginger, oranges, etc. condiment. So people at that time called it "drinking soup", which was later changed to "drinking tea".

Before going there, An Ningning communicated with An Laoer to reform the tea seedling planting technology and tea making technology. She knew that there was a tea making technology that was more advanced than Tuancha and could better reflect the taste of the tea itself.

So before going, I asked An Laoer to choose tea leaves that do not need to be seasoned. Drink some tea to choose.

Indeed, An Laoer followed his niece's advice and went around a lot, finally choosing the Qimen species, a shrub type with medium leaves, a semi-spreading tree shape, medium branch density and slightly upward leaves. The leaves are oblique, oblong in shape, slightly raised on the surface, green in color, glossy, and soft in texture.

It feels similar to what An Ningning described. Moreover, this kind of tea tree is not like an ordinary tea tree, which can grow very tall. It is a shrub type and does not grow very high.

There are also many tea gardens in Qimen, and the distance is not very far. Before leaving, the village chief gave An Laoer some money and asked him to buy a suitable one. When he came back, he couldn't be careless about this and would rather plant it a year later.

They walked and bought along the way, and finally bought a lot of Keemun species. I buy all the existing tea varieties and deliver them directly to Xiushan Village in March every year.

After finishing the matter, I rushed back in a hurry, but I didn't know that something happened almost at the door of my house. There is a remote tea garden in Qimen County. I heard that the tea produced there is very special. After thinking about it, everyone decided to go to the last stop to learn from it. It's about a day's journey from Xiushan Village, and everyone thinks they can get back before New Year's Eve, and they still have plenty of time.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the last stop. The tea in the Shen Family Tea Garden is really good. There are springs there, and the water they irrigate is mountain spring water, so the tea they produce is particularly good. Mr. Shen’s tea-making process is inherited from his family, and the production method is also unique. The tea produced is different from what is available on the market.

It is especially supported by the locals, but some of them have unique secret recipes that are difficult for them to inquire about. An Laoer is particularly interested in the management of the tea garden, so at the warm invitation of the Shen family, he stayed one more night.

Unexpectedly, they only stayed one more day, and on that night, more than a dozen members of Head Shen's family were killed.

An Laoer and the villagers live in a tea garden, a temporary place where the tea master sleeps every year when making tea. Because the Shen family had daughters to be married, they lived in a tea garden on the mountain to avoid danger.

When they were preparing to say goodbye at noon the next day, they discovered that all the Shen family members were dead and no one was left alive. When they were looking for someone to say goodbye, a long-term worker in the tea garden happened to find out and reported it to the government.

They were also retained, treated as suspects of course. Mr. Shen is warm and hospitable. Even though they are peers, what he can teach them is not hidden, but the exclusive tea-making process will definitely not be revealed.

Everyone wanted to cry, but they thought of Master Shen and wanted to help them find the suspect.

But they were not freed from suspicion and were locked up.

Such a big thing happened in the county government, and it was the end of the year, so they were detained for a whole month, and no one took care of them during this period. They once wondered whether these officials were planning to kill people to end the case.

Fortunately, someone finally reported that the youngest daughter of the Shen family was not among those killed. Following this clue, we found the suspect who took away the youngest daughter of the Shen family.

This is quite a speechless thing. The head of the Shen family has no sons, and the Shen family’s hundred-acre tea garden has no heirs. The eldest daughter of the Shen family was originally going to stay at home to recruit a child, but in the end, the eldest daughter was attracted by a wealthy family and was eventually married off. The younger daughter was originally going to get married, but later she had to stay at home and look for help.

The youngest daughter of the Shen family had a crush. Although he was not as wealthy as the Shen family, he was a scholar who worked and studied for the family. The family would not allow him to marry into the family. This dynasty also had some restrictions on the career development of men who married into the family.

If the man doesn't agree to marry into the family, the two have no choice but to separate. It is impossible for the Shen family's unique tea-making craft to be lost.

There are some colleagues who have long coveted the Shen family's exclusive tea-making technology. He lured scholars with huge sums of money, and they were willing to spend huge sums of money to buy tea-making techniques. The scholar comes from an ordinary family, his family is in decline, he failed in the three exams, and a girl he has known for many years stays at home to recruit her.

When he saw the girl from the Shen family again, he wanted to elope with her, but the girl didn't agree. During the struggle, the Shen family was alarmed. In the end, he did not stop and killed everyone, dragging the reluctant Shen girl away.
