Chapter 369 Picking Tea Again
There are more handsome ones coming up.
When going to the old tea mountain, a snake would appear on the road from time to time.
Before anyone noticed, the little eagle swooped down, grabbed a snake and flew up a tree.
"Wow, what a quick reaction! I didn't even notice there was a snake hiding over there!"
Lin Dayou looked at Xiaoying with burning eyes again.
"Niece-in-law, is this little eagle in your house male or female? Can you give me one in the future?"
Song Wei: "I don't know, I can't tell."
Birds don’t have as obvious characteristics as animals, and Song Wei doesn’t know how to see them.
“Chiu!”
Xiaoying called out to Song Wei, then lowered his head and started eating by himself.
Lin Dayou envied: "Come to think of it, it seems that the animals you raise at home all need to be fed when they are young, but when they grow up, they can basically go into the mountains to hunt on their own. You don't need to worry about them at all, and they can even bring back prey."
Although Lin Zhen's family has many wolves, everyone is envious of them.
Because those wolves are really powerful.
The small one also has a big one to take with him.
"You only saw how majestic they were. Why didn't you see Lin Zhen and Song Wei bringing them to the mountains to practice hunting? How many people in our team dare to bring their own dogs to the mountains? If they encounter bears, tigers, wild boars, etc., wouldn't they be dead?"
Lin Dayou laughed awkwardly when he was scolded by his own wife.
Song smiled and didn't interrupt.
After walking for a whole morning, we finally arrived at Tea Tree Mountain.
The environment here in Tea Tree Mountain seems a bit out of place with the forest, but it is truly beautiful.
Under the sunlight, the misty clouds look like a fairyland.
When the clouds and mist dissipate, the tall tea trees stand tall, and the green tea buds and old tea leaves on the trees are particularly distinct in color.
"This tea is so beautiful and fragrant."
The fragrance of tea leaves made everyone take several deep breaths, and their minds felt much clearer.
There are more tea buds in early spring. They seem to come at the right time. The trees are full of new buds, and through the sunlight you can clearly see the light golden veins on the buds and leaves.
Song Wei was a little surprised.
The last batch of tea they picked didn't have these light golden veins.
"Why does it feel different from what we picked last time?"
Lin Dayou also scratched his head.
Song Wei: "Although I don't know what's going on, I feel like this isn't a bad thing."
So the three of them started climbing up the tea tree to pick the tea.
"Pick only the young shoots, don't damage the old leaves, and don't break the branches."
Lin Dayou's wife reminded him that this was what her mother-in-law had repeatedly reminded her of when she came.
This century-old tea tree is a treasure. It would be heartbreaking if even one of its branches was damaged.
"knew."
Picking tea leaves, especially picking only the tenderest tips of the tea leaves, is the most testing of patience.
And this tea is really hard to pick.
After all, the parts to be picked grow at the very top, so the person climbing the tree not only needs to be good at climbing, but also needs to keep balance to pick the leaves.
Several hours passed and the cloth bags hanging on their chests were still not full.
"There's no point picking anything above that."
The top branches of the tea trees could not bear their weight.
"Let me do it."
In fact, Song Wei couldn't pick them all, but she picked more than the other two.
"Uncle Dayou, go pick the ones from other trees."
"good."
This is where most of the day's time is spent.
The wolves would go into the woods to play or hunt by themselves. The little eagle would occasionally fly over to find her, and when it got bored, it would fly out to hunt again.
Once, he even caught a mouse and fed it to Song Wei.
Song Wei said no directly.
"It's getting late, let's all go back."
"It took me a whole day to pick this much tea. This tea is really hard to pick."
Lin Dayou had a sad face.
"I don't even have these four pounds."
Song Wei: "I think what I picked is only about five or six kilograms."
"Mine too."
In one day, the three people only picked about 11 or 12 kilograms of tea.
Song Wei: "This kind of tea costs several hundred yuan per pound."
Hearing her say this, Lin Dayou's eyes widened.
“So expensive?!”
Song Wei nodded: "Grandma said that this tea is not much worse than those famous teas. Those expensive teas in the Friendship Store cost two or three hundred yuan for a small can, and that can is not even as big as my palm."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After hearing this, Lin Dayou stopped complaining and looked at the tea as if it were a treasure.
"But our tea is not famous. Grandma said this tea is a new variety."
Once its reputation becomes known, the tea produced from these tea trees that are over a hundred years old will be more expensive.
After returning home, grandma was already waiting for Song Wei at her house.
"Show me now."
The old man couldn't wait, and his eyes lit up when he saw the light golden veins on the tea leaves.
"This is great. This tea will definitely be beautiful when it is made!"
She felt itchy and wanted to fry the tea leaves right now.
"Grandma, why are the ones you picked different from before?"
Song Wei asked.
Lin Dayou and his wife were also very curious.
The old man was in high spirits, and looked at the tea leaves more preciously than his son.
"The magic of nature is beyond our comprehension, just like the maple leaves, which are green in summer and beautiful red in autumn. The tea tree also has its own growth pattern."
She was so busy that she didn't even need anyone to help her spread the tea leaves on the small winnowing basket.
In the next few days, Song Wei and Lin Dayou went to the mountains whenever they had time to pick the remaining tea leaves.
For some things that are really impossible to pick, just forget about them.
Grandma liked these teas very much, and everyone was amazed when the first batch of tea was produced.
The curled up tea leaves turned dark green, but dark golden lines appeared on them.
The grandmother smiled happily: "Good, this tea is good, very good!"
Song Wei was eager to try: "Let's brew some."
The grandmother was a little reluctant to part with it: "That's not a big waste. The longer this tea is stored, the better it will become and the more valuable it will be. Every gram of top-quality tea is more valuable than gold."
Song Wei: "You can store some of it, but the tea leaves are fried for making tea."
She pulled the old man to sit down and started to boil water.
Under the current conditions, boiling water is not that particular.
But there was a clay pot at home, and her grandmother asked her to use it to boil water.
In the glass, the tea leaves brewed by hot water expanded and gradually regained their emerald green color, but the dark golden lines on the leaves did not change at all.
This is like a work of art, it's so beautiful.
The fragrance of tea is even more refreshing, making people feel as if they are in the vast mountains and forests.
“It smells so good!”
A pot of tea is brewed and the whole room is filled with fragrance.
Even if you are not used to drinking tea on a daily basis, you will definitely like the aroma of this tea.
When you drink the tea, your mouth is filled with fragrance.
They were even reluctant to throw away the last tea leaves.
"Feed it to the chickens or deer and see if they eat it."
It turns out that they not only eat it but also love it.
The chicks pecked at the tea leaves, and the sika deer chased after them, smelling the scent of the tea.
