Chapter 29 The Centennial Tea Tree

Li Ye was familiar with the road, and he walked no slower than adults. He even ran and jumped over half of the hill, only to remember that there was a "city man" Zhu Xiaoxian behind him, and he hurriedly turned around to find someone.Turning around, he almost collided with Xiao Xian.

"Hurry up, the sky will get dark if it's too late. There are some crops with heavy humidity on the Black Mountain. My grandfather is not in good health recently, and he has a cough, so he can't see the humidity." If she is familiar with it, she will definitely go ahead of Yezi.

"Hey, wait for me." Li Ye had his eyes opened today, and he saw the neatness of the Han girl's temperament. Not to mention, he really liked it a little.

Walking up to the top of the mountain, Xiaoxian looked forward, and saw the evening scene of clouds and clouds in the sky. The tea-picking season had passed, and the tea trees were covered with dark green leaves.Zhu Shijun and the others had already walked to a high place in the tea garden. Looking at it from a distance, they could still see three figures like black dots hidden in the tea trees.

The earliest wild white tea trees all grew on cliffs and beside streams.After decades of searching, the ancestors of the southeast Miao Village cultivated such a treasured tea garden at the foot of Montenegro.Next to it is a stream that never dries up all year round. Every day the sun rises above the horizon, and the tea garden can see the light. The foothills of Heishan Mountain, where water and sunlight are abundant, produce white tea that is not as good as Zheng’an white tea, but it can be regarded as the best of all white teas. A must.

Yezi's mother was talking about the tea garden with Zhu Shijun and others.The tea gardens on Heishan are divided into several areas, all of which were contracted by several large Miao households in the Southeast Miao Village.Among the villagers in the Miao Village in the southeast, [-]% of them have a relationship with the word tea, picking tea, roasting tea, and growing tea for a living.The family's harvest is not good, and even the income of the village is not good this year.

The Li family is one of the big tea growers, and it is not only the Li Ye family that has reduced production this year. Two days ago, there was a meeting in the village, and they went through the account books around the kang. The price of each family's tea has dropped by more than ten yuan, and this does not include the tea. reduction in production.

Tea processing is a rather delicate and labor-intensive job, and transportation is also very particular. After seven deductions and eight deductions, the money that falls into the hands of the Miao people is not much.

"Old man, this is probably the case. The tea garden was run by my natal ancestors. It has a history of more than a hundred years. It has always produced the best quality white tea, but after a few years in the hands of my family, it broke down. Signboard, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors in the future?" In just half a day, Yezi's mother changed her name. She was a straightforward and capable woman from the Miao family. With a lot of fame, he guessed that Zhu Shijun must be the agricultural expert mentioned by the old man outside the mountain, or a technician at worst. Ask him to be sure.

The Miao family is no better than the Han family. Although they have been farming for many years, the real agricultural experts are the great wizards in the village who have dealt with herbs, insects and snakes for generations. When the red maple in the middle is red, the rice of the first scythe will bloom.

"Auntie, these tea trees are growing very well, and there are no insects." Zhu Shijun also looked at the surrounding mountains.Montenegro has a high altitude, and ordinary pests cannot fall on such a high terrain.

The leaves of the tea tree are dark green and bright, and they don't want to be deprived of water and sunlight.Yezi's mother also said in the introduction just now that the usual excrement of the hundreds of cages on the mountainside is also sent to the tea garden to be piled up as fertilizer.

Such landscape conditions can be regarded as unique.As soon as the village head Jin Dafu went up the mountain, he gave up the idea of ​​learning how to grow tea trees and strive for a well-off life.

"Auntie, has this tea tree been around for many years?" Xiaoxian and Yezi caught up with the adults, and seeing that Yezi's mother was still frowning, they also knew that the problem in the tea garden had not been resolved.

"Xiaoxian's eyesight is really amazing. This is the only white tea tree that produces tea normally this year. According to Yezi's father, this tree is an old tea tree that was planted in the late Qing Dynasty. Counting it, it is more than 100 years old. Yezi's mother saw that Yezi had a self-made birdcage in his hand, and guessed the reason why the two children were delayed, so she didn't blame them, and she was going to wipe the two children's faces Sweat, if you are stained with sweat, you will get a headache if you go down the mountain and encounter the mountain wind at night.

Seeing Zhu Xiaoxian standing aside, Li Ye was reluctant to let his mother wipe his face for him. He hid from left to right like a little loach. wiped off the sweat.Yezi's mother was angry and funny, and she scolded for a while.

After hearing this, Zhu Shijun stepped forward to check the tea tree that was growing normally.When he was in Li's house, Zhu Shijun could tell the quality of the tea at a glance. Apart from his old habit of drinking tea for many years, it was also because he knew that the roasting of tea is important, but the quality of the newly picked tea is more important.

The quality of this year's tea in Southeast Shanzhai is not good, not because of its poor appearance, if someone who doesn't understand tea, such as Jin Dafu, will look at it, he will definitely praise this year's tea.Look at the tea leaves, the leaves are fat, and each leaf is soaked, like a big-leaf butterfly floating in the water. The tea is clear and green, and when you drink it, it also leaves a mouthful of fragrance.

"Old man, you are also a person who knows the way. The leaves of this year's tea are too big. The fragrance of the tea can only linger after entering the mouth. The fragrance cannot enter the internal organs. It is the second tea." After the boy cleaned up the sweat, he interrupted.

White tea is good because it is delicious and leaves beautiful.Looking at its shape, it is slender and long like a needle, and each piece of dried tea leaves can enter the water like a silver needle. When tasting tea, it is pleasing to the eye.

This year's leaves are bigger, and after soaking, the shape is not beautiful. Occasionally, there are a few wormholes on a few leaves.The small leaves gather the essence, and the big leaves gather the dross.

Zhu Shijun compared the century-old tea tree with the tea trees in the garden.But no matter the planting method or the soil, they are all exactly the same. Where does this problem come from?

"Auntie," Xiaoxian yelled crisply from the side, "There used to be a lot of masson pine trees here, why did they cut them down, what a pity."

Seeing that the two children didn't have much interest in tea trees, they were driven aside completely. Xiao Xian was looking at a tree stump on the ground. In the tea garden, there were hundreds of the same tree stumps. Looking at the break, they were all young. Freshly felled.

Just as Yezi's mother was about to speak, she saw Zhu Shijun walking quickly to the tree stump, and then walked past a few tree stumps that had been cut down. Here it is."

"How do you know it's a masson pine?" Li Ye wondered, looking at a tree stump that had been cut down, how could he recognize the tree species.

"Even if it turned into ashes, I can recognize what kind of tree it is, and I know a lot." Xiaoxian hecked twice, very proud of her grandfather's quick response, and she was just a reminder, Zhu Shijun found out the crux of the problem.
