Upon entering the tea plantation, Ah Chen parted ways with Ah Mo, just like last time.
Clearly, they wanted to see what kind of master Zheng he was!
In response, Amo whispered a reminder to Achen to be careful and not to slip and fall.
"You go ahead, I'll go over and listen to it myself in a bit."
Amo nodded and then passed by from the side.
Ah Chen slowly walked into the tea shop.
Although he wasn't a professional, he had learned some things from the Nine Realms Space, and with the clear records in the space, he could naturally deduce the situation of the tea garden.
Moreover, he led the Miao people to create this hundred-acre tea plantation.
"Brother Chen? You... what are you doing here? You just woke up today!"
"Brother Chen, don't come in. It's wet and slippery in here."
The Miao girls in their long skirts all stopped when they saw Ah Chen.
Ah Chen smiled and said, "You guys go about your business, I'll take a look around."
"Then... Brother Chen, come stand over here, it's not so slippery over here."
The girls on the tea mountain, carrying bamboo baskets, wearing flower garlands woven from vines, and dressed in long skirts of Miao clothing, are very beautiful!
As soon as Achen changed positions, they got busy again.
They seem to be learning very well, that's not --
Skillful hands danced lightly among the tea bushes, gently plucking each tender green tea leaf.
Then--
They also sang folk songs.
The singing was beautiful and sweet! There were even duets.
Meanwhile, the young women from the tea shop danced and moved gracefully through the tea garden.
The scene at this moment is as beautiful as a poem or a painting.
It also seems to be silently showcasing another kind of elegant beauty of the Miao people's tea garden.
Ah Chen slowly walked up to a higher position, where Ah Mo was talking to Master Zheng.
I couldn't hear clearly, but I could see the radiant smile on Master Zheng's wife's face.
It's probably about having a baby!
Ah Chen didn't need to think to guess, because at that spot, there were only Ah Mo and Master Zheng and his wife.
Sure enough, when Ah Chen got closer, he heard exactly what he had thought.
But it didn't last long before Master Zheng started talking about tea making.
When the topic of tea making came up, Master Zheng even invited the most capable women from the tea mountains to listen in.
Ah Chen also took this opportunity to take a look around.
Old Zheng doesn't look very energetic, and he looks a bit haggard.
But that's not surprising, given that such an experience is quite normal.
It's just that this stubble doesn't look very good. If I could groom it, it would look better.
As for Lao Zheng's wife, well...
The skin was rough and dull, with many wrinkles.
Ah Chen wondered, is this thirty-eight years old? Not forty-eight?
The key issue is that there are also spots.
Meanwhile, Master Zheng was reporting to Amo that the tea-making process had reached the sixth step.
dry!
He said, "Miss Tang, the first five processes of preparing the 1,000 jin of tea for Miao Nian have been completed. Now, only the last step, drying, is left."
"The drying step is to remove excess moisture from the tea leaves and preserve their quality."
Master Zheng mentioned three drying methods: stir-frying, baking, and sun-drying.
But given the current situation, he suggested frying it until dry.
A professional master chef truly makes a difference when it comes to professional matters.
Ah Chen listened from the side. Master Zheng explained things very carefully, even covering the three stages. It seemed he was truly dedicated to teaching the girls.
His wife also came to Ah Chen's side to tell the other girls what they needed to pay attention to during the picking process.
The girls saw Ah Chen too. They were about to call out with beaming smiles when they saw Ah Chen put his index finger to his lips, quietly making a shushing gesture. They immediately understood.
but--
The girls exchanged glances, as if to say:
Why isn't Ah Chen lying at home after waking up?
I don't know, but Brother Chen must be worried about the tea plantation to come here.
No way, Ah Chen is patrolling the mountain?
That's possible.
An incognito visit? Could it be that they've come to secretly investigate the Han family's teachers?
However--
When Lao Zheng's wife saw Ah Chen among the people during the explanation, he was taken aback at first, and then asked the girls around him.
"Little sisters, I see that this young man's Miao clothing is not like the long-skirted Miao, nor does it resemble the White Miao or Short-skirted Miao. Which branch is he from?"
“Oh, this is a branch of the Black Miao.” Amei said softly.
"Does your chieftain allow other Miao people to come to the tea plantation?"
“This young man can come.”
Um?
Will this prince be able to come?
Old Zheng's wife felt something was off when she heard what A-mei said.
then--
She looked Ah Chen up and down, but couldn't see anything special about him, except that his face was a little pale, so she asked him a question.
"Young prince, are you injured?"
This is Mandarin Chinese, Standard Mandarin.
Ah Chen blinked, wondering how to phrase it subtly to test the waters, but then—
Because of his reaction, Lao Zheng's wife misunderstood him.
"Little sister, is this little Miao boy a new Miao? He doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying!"
Seedlings?
The girls smiled without saying a word.
But in her heart she was thinking, "Brother Chen looked so handsome just now."
"Old Zheng, come here quickly--"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing the shouts, Master Zheng rushed over. His wife glanced at Achen and then said to him, "Didn't you learn the Miao language a few days ago? Ask this young man if he's injured."
The girl who came over was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and then gave a half-smile.
