"How can we harvest tea from such tall tea trees?"
The guests were very puzzled.
The tea trees here are taller than they imagined.
The trees are tall with dense branches.
Gu Xuan spoke to the others.
“You can reach it by stretching your arm if you’re in a low spot. You can try it first.”
The group approached the tea garden and came to a tea tree.
You can definitely reach the tea leaves by reaching out.
"It's alright, you can definitely pick them."
"Teacher Huang said."
"These lower-lying tea leaves don't get much sunlight, so they probably aren't the best."
Gu Xuan nodded.
"Yes, the higher up the tea is the best, but the tea here tastes better than any tea you can buy outside."
"Really."
"Of course, this is an ancient tea with a history of over a thousand years."
"Thousand-year-old tea."
Only then did everyone realize what was happening.
Such tall tea trees can only be ancient tea trees.
"Alright, everyone can spread out and pick the fruit."
Teacher Huang is a tea lover.
"Xiao Xuan, do you have a ladder?"
"have."
A stepladder was placed under a tea tree.
Teacher Huang picked the tea leaves directly from the top, specifically from the sunny side.
Gu Xuan didn't look for a ladder, but picked the tea leaves from the sunny side. These tea leaves were only for them to practice with, and they wouldn't pick the best ones.
However, even these decent ones are very good.
The group picked the fruit with great excitement.
In no time, half the basket was picked.
They've picked almost all of them.
Gu Xuan said.
"Let's pick this much for now."
A few people were a little curious.
"Everything here is so good, why don't we pick them first?"
"I'll take you to a better place."
Everyone was curious.
But Teacher Huang asked a question.
"Are there even older tea trees?"
Gu Xuan nodded.
Others became interested after hearing this.
"Then let's go quickly."
Several people couldn't wait.
Gu Xuan led them to continue up the mountain.
A few minutes later, the group saw a huge open space in front of them, and in the center of the open space stood a giant tea tree.
"This is."
Teacher Huang was the most shocked.
Gu Xuan explained with a smile.
"This tea tree is ten thousand years old; it is the ancestor of all tea trees."
"A tea tree that's been around for ten thousand years! I can't believe this kind of tea tree exists."
"There are many things in this world that don't exist yet, so it's not surprising to find a tea tree that's ten thousand years old."
The others were even more shocked.
Teacher He asked.
"How much does tea produced from these tea trees cost per gram?"
Teacher Huang spoke directly.
"It is estimated that each tea tree costs tens of thousands of yuan. This kind of tea tree is not only rare, but there may only be one. Moreover, this tea tree is completely wild, and even the surrounding tea trees are wild."
The other guests found it incredible.
"This is too expensive. Can we pick some?"
This tea tree is 20 meters tall and about 4 meters in diameter.
The tree canopy is large enough.
It has a diameter of about fifty meters.
It's enough to cover two basketball courts.
After hearing Gu Xuan's introduction, they all wanted to pick some tea leaves.
Even Director Wang, who had been working behind the scenes, couldn't help but speak up.
All that was heard was Director Wang shouting.
“Leave some for us too.”
Teacher Huang replied with a smile.
"Get out of here, this thing is too precious, don't get involved."
"no."
After explaining, you have to do it yourself.
Gu Xuan quickly came to the rescue.
"Alright, you can pick them now, but you must protect the trees and not damage them. Be careful."
"good."
The tea leaves on the tea tree are very dense.
It wouldn't matter if these people picked for a whole day.
The group was very excited after hearing this.
They all went to find ladders.
After finding them, they all found a spot to pick them.
Although the tree canopy is low, the fruit can only be picked from a few meters up.
They couldn't reach the better positions above.
However, the height of the ladder is already sufficient.
The group began to pick the fruit.
Their techniques were very skilled.
Moreover, Gu Xuan had them divide the space.
Separate from the thousand-year-old tea leaves in his bamboo basket.
Does this tea have a name?
Teacher Huang asked.
"I call him Ancient Tea Ancestor."
"This name is not bad."
Teacher He also said.
"Tea Ancestor Ancient Tea, very good."
The group chatted and laughed.
Continue picking.
Before long, the bamboo basket was full.
"How are you all?"
"The bamboo basket is full."
"Me too."
"Okay, then let's go back and make tea."
"good."
The group was very excited.
After all, it's the fruit of one's own labor.
Moreover, what they obtained was ancient tea, the ancestral tea of tea.
You can't find this kind of thing outside.
One person carried a bamboo basket on their back and went down the mountain.
We quickly returned to the courtyard.
All the tools for frying tea are ready.
There is also a lot of charcoal.
There was no one there.
Gu Xuan came to teach them.
"The heat is very important when frying tea. You have to control the temperature well so that the tea will be full of aroma."
The group listened attentively.
Gu Xuan explained a lot.
Soon, others also began to get the hang of it.
Their technique was rather clumsy, but with Gu Xuan guiding them, they didn't make any major mistakes.
Teacher Huang is the best at cooking.
After all, I cook often and am very skilled at controlling the heat.
It is also very smooth when stir-fried.
Before long, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of tea.
Soon, all the ancient teas that I had practiced with were processed.
Gu Xuan checked it out.
"They are all very capable."
These people were very excited.
"Alright, now it's time to fry the ancient tea. You all need to be serious. Once you're done, I'll prepare a tea caddy for you to take back."
After he said that, the group became even more serious.
They were all well aware of the power of this ancient tea.
Just a little bit can be exchanged for a lot of resources.
The tea leaves they picked, after being processed, would weigh at least two pounds.
Two jin (approximately 1 kg) is no small amount.
One person was holding ten million worth of tea leaves.
The assistants and agents of these people were even more excited after hearing what Gu Xuan said.
They all notified their companies.
Upon receiving the message, the company naturally prepared a return gift.
This is necessary.
Gu Xuan was unaware of this.
At this moment, he was still watching the group intently, instructing them to properly process the tea. This was ancient tea, the ancestral tea of tea, and he was taking it seriously.
They also help control the flames from time to time.
I'll lend a hand from time to time.
Although the tea leaves were from lower-grade tea plants and not the finest quality, he didn't want them to be damaged.
With Gu Xuan's help.
All the tea leaves have been processed.
Set it aside and wait for it to cool down.
Gu Xuan went to his room.
He entered the room and went directly to the system store.
I bought several rosewood tea canisters.
These tea canisters are simple, with little to no carving.
After all, it's an ancient tea from the Tea Ancestor, so it needs a better tea canister.
As for the rest, Gu Xuan prepared several ordinary bamboo tea canisters.
Two for each person, one made of mahogany and one of bamboo.
"Here you go. Put the ancient tea leaves into the rosewood tea caddy. Don't rush, wait until the tea leaves cool down before putting them in."
The group happily accepted the tea canisters.
They all stared intently at their own tea leaves.
After all, it was the result of a hard day's work.
