Chapter 119: Complete the mission in the Ancient Tea-Horse City

“Can you describe this person’s characteristics?”

Zhang Shaoqing said cautiously.

"About 1m6 tall, 50 years old."

"And then? Nothing?"

Chen Sheng said in surprise.

The tour guide gave him a calming look and said, "Don't worry, there's more."

"What I just mentioned are only the characteristics of one of them. There are four others that I haven't mentioned."

"The second one is 1m40 and 47 years old. The third one is 1m58 and 52 years old."

"The fourth one is 1m55 tall and 49 years old. The fifth one is 1m53 tall and 50 years old."

"Are all the craftsmen we are looking for women?" Su Zi asked.

The height reported by the tour guide was a bit strange, very similar to the average height of women.

"You guys need to find this out. I can't reveal too much information to you."

"What's the matter? You can't even tell me whether it's a boy or a girl?" Han Chen frowned speechlessly.

The tour guide explained, "Since it is a mission, it must be difficult. There are five people in total. If the guests find one of them, they will be rewarded 2,000. If they find two people, they will be rewarded 3,000, and so on."

"If we don't find anyone before the sun sets today, it means the mission has failed."

Zhu Ping An did not give up, "Sister, can you give me a little hint? Just a little."

The tour guide was as hard as iron, "Please ask the six guests to explore on their own. After seeing the people, you will know their identities."

Guo Yingying hooked her arm around Su Zi's neck and said, "Director Su, please reveal some information."

"Sister Yingying, I really don't know. I only gave a rough plan, but they planned the missions, so I'm just as clueless as everyone else."

Han Chen snorted at her and said, "Xiao Su, you are so unkind. Why do you have to make planning a good trip so difficult? Can't you just let us eat and drink?"

"It's so boring just to travel. Wouldn't this add some fun to everyone's journey? Let's go in and walk around and see."

"Brother Chen, do you know anything about the Ancient Tea-Horse City? Are there any conspicuous places here? I think the people arranged by the program team may be in these locations."

Su Zi quickly avoided the previous topic.

Han Chen glanced at her with a reproachful look.

Zhang Shaoqing took out his phone and said, "I just searched online. Many people recommend the snack street and the ancient city tower. However, most people suggest coming at night because the night view here is a feature of the ancient Tea Horse City."

“There are also museums, jungle ropeways, and a section of the ancient Tea-Horse Road where horse caravans once traveled.”

"Looking at it this way, the area we need to search is too large."

"I suggest we split up. Today our tour guide said that we can tell these five people are tea makers as soon as we see them. That means they have a unique look, or smell, or they might be found wherever there is tea."

"We don't need to go to the snack street for now. Let's first look for tea shops in the entire ancient city. Then we'll look for the museum and the city tower first. If we can't find any, we'll go somewhere else."

Su Zi actively behaved and tried to atone for his sins.

"I think Su Zi's analysis makes sense. Let's group them into twos. Scissors, rock, paper, those who have the same pattern will automatically be grouped together, two by two."

Guo Yingying stopped teasing Su Zi. In order to have more money to make her life easier in the future, she also became serious.

No one objected, and the final grouping results were Su Zi and Zhang Shaoqing in one group, Zhu Pingan and Chen Sheng in one group, and Guo Yingying and Han Chen in one group.

"Suzi and I will go to the tower."

"Then Ping An and I will go to the museum."

"Let's go find a place that sells tea."

Han Chen added, "Come on, everyone. Whether we can live a good life in the next few days depends on now!"

Zhu Pingan was very positive, raised his hand and made a fist, "Come on!"

After the grouping was completed, the six people began to act separately.

"Brother Shaoqing, I think the tour guide just now deliberately did not mention the genders of these five people, so it is very likely that these people are all women."

"We will be at the tower later, and we only need to focus on the older and shorter women."

Zhang Shaoqing nodded in agreement, "I think what you said makes sense. I will send them your discovery."

Since this isn't a competitive suspense variety show, the people arranged by the production team are actually very conspicuous. Moreover, since this is the first episode, they have to at least give the guests some benefits. Therefore, the production team didn't intend to make it too difficult for them with the task of finding people.

As soon as Zhang Shaoqing sent the message, Zhu Pingan excitedly said that they had found one of them.

The person was discovered by Chen Sheng, because as soon as they entered the museum, Chen Sheng found a shorter middle-aged woman.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Chen Sheng smelled the faint scent of tea on the other person as soon as he got close. He became more certain of his idea. After asking a few questions, he confirmed the other person's identity.

"You're right. The person Chen Sheng and his team found is indeed a female. Now her characteristics are more obvious. We can't fall behind."

Zhang Shaoqing has always been mature and steady when recording the show, and he looks calm in everything he does. Su Zi was a little surprised to see that he suddenly became competitive.

In the end, the two men really found two of them on the city wall.

Han Chen and Guo Yingying found nothing. There were too many people in the tea-selling place, men and women, young and old. The smell of tea was everywhere, and the two had no way to distinguish it.

Eventually you have no choice but to give up.

If we can find three, everyone will be satisfied, and the total reward here is 4,000 yuan.

When it was time to hand in the task, the other two tea makers showed up.

Guo Yingying shouted, "Oh! Old Han, the guy on the left just walked back and forth in front of us at least three times!"

"Ah!" Han Chen's expression was as if he had lost 1 million.

Su Yuehe stepped forward at the right time.

"Congratulations to everyone for finding our three tea makers. These three grandmas are indispensable to the tea-making industry in our ancient tea-horse city."

"Most of the tea sold in this ancient city is roasted by a few grandmothers themselves,"

"Our grandmother Zhao has been picking and making tea with her family since she was seven years old. Like the other four grandmothers, she remained unmarried throughout her life and devoted herself to tea."

"Tea has a long history in our country. Today, the five of us invite six guests to experience the process of making tea."

This is also an important part of tourism variety shows, promoting local characteristics and popularizing certain cultures.

When we arrived at the tea factory, five old ladies took some waste tea for everyone to practice with, and let them take a look at it from a distance. This was done to avoid waste and to prevent the smell of their bodies from tainting the tea leaves being roasted.

Everyone unlocked a new experience in tea making, and it was during the chat that they learned that the five grandmas were quite special in the tea factory, because except for the five of them, the rest were men.

After experiencing the hard work of making tea, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but ask Grandma Zhao, "Grandma, why did you choose to work in tea making?"

Grandma Zhao said kindly, "In the beginning, we were all tea pickers. At that time, we had an argument with the tea maker. He looked down on us tea pickers."

"When I was young, I was a person who refused to admit defeat. I insisted on forcing my father to teach me how to make tea, so that I could compete with the tea-making master who scolded me."

"Of course I won in the end, and then I fell in love with the process of tea frying, so I just kept doing it and never thought of changing."
