Chapter 5: Picking Tea Under the Eastern Fence



For someone like him, who grows good tea and has a pot for himself first, it is a luxury.

puff!

Gada!

Gada...

Suddenly, the lid of the teapot began to jump lightly, making crisp sounds.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Xiaoyang stood up from the rattan couch, put on a pair of microwave gloves, and then followed the procedures of scalding the pot and washing the tea in an orderly manner.

Although this is not tea and there is no need for it at all, this is called being particular.

How can life be without a sense of ritual?

Finally, he filled the old purple clay teapot that had been prepared long ago.

Pour a small cup.

Zhao Xiaoyang held the still hot teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

“Oh…ho ho!”

So hot!

As a warm current flowed down his stomach, the coldness in his body completely disappeared.

Zhao Xiaoyang let out a long sigh and looked at the starry sky that seemed even cleaner than after last night's rain, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Tomorrow I'll dry the fish leaves and the second spring tea that's about to be picked, and then fry them and send some to my uncle so he can have a taste.

As for Ahua and the others, forget about it.

After all, the first spring tea only weighs two or three taels, and even if the second spring tea weighs four or five times more, it is only more than one jin.

Ah Hua is a wild boar and can't eat fine bran. Give him good tea and don't let it make him bleed from his nose.

Then, Zhao Xiaoyang happily took out his mobile phone, took a few photos, and posted them on WeChat Moments.

Hmm...it smells so good!

After a while, a friend replied.

It turned out that Lao Wang had been waiting for this for a long time.

[Oh my god, you're drinking it so quickly, did you buy it?]

Followed by a grimace emoji.

【Do you believe what I said? 】

Zhao Xiaoyang replied.

[I believe...I don't believe you, unless you give me some too.]

【If you want to drink tea, no problem. Come on over.】

[Wait, I'm going to fly over here.]

Zhao Xiaoyang laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Forget it, no need to explain anything. After all, this is the first time he has seen such a miracle.

Don’t blame Lao Wang for being ignorant, just blame this world, it’s so fucking magical!

[Xiao Zhao, the color of your tea soup is quite nice!]

It was the former department manager who grasped the key point and was more concerned about tea.

Zhao Xiaoyang replied happily.

[Yes, I grew it myself!]

The old colleague sent a snickering expression.

"Just keep trying to fool Mr. Li. Sooner or later, you'll make him cripple. It's only been a few days, do you think you're Doraemon?"

Zhao Xiaoyang was even happier.

[I'm so stupid, I'm just giving you a raise! ]

Finally, the manager also sent a grinning emoticon.

Then a private message came.

[Xiao Zhao, if you really come back, I will definitely give you a raise.]

Zhao Xiaoyang laughed.

[Mr. Li, there's a lot of potential in the countryside, I want to try it out first.]

When everything was quiet, the crackling sound of the fire gradually faded away.

Zhao Xiaoyang pricked up his ears and seemed to be able to faintly hear the sound of the tea trees growing.

As for the cherry trees, which had entered their ripening period more slowly, they were only swaying occasionally in the breeze, making sparse rustling sounds.

The largest one grew taller than Zhao Xiaoyang.

The treetops are covered with dense luxuriant vegetation, like a canopy.

In the brightly lit room, bright light casts its shadow over the bamboo fence, while more darkness shrouds the back of Nanshan.

This scene inspired Zhao Xiaoyang to take a picture of the scene and recite a poem.

Picking tea under the eastern fence, I leisurely see the southern mountains.

Then, he tidied up quickly, yawned, and went to bed.

Sleep till dawn.

After Zhao Xiaoyang got up, he went to the yard and saw that the white tea tree had grown to more than two meters.

The countdown to the ripening of the second spring tea has long ended. The stretched tender leaves of the tree sway in the wind, as if waving to Zhao Xiaoyang.

Come on, come on!

What are you waiting for?

Let’s get started!

Zhao Xiaoyang immediately carried the bamboo basket on his back, stepped on a bench, and continued to use the "lifting and picking" technique to quickly pick the newly grown tender leaves.

This method is more time-consuming, but it protects the tea trees better than pinching.

If you don't use that easy method until the spring tea is fully mature, it would be a waste of resources.

Just picking like this makes me much more tired than last night.

After finally picking a whole basket of long leaves, Zhao Xiaoyang was soaked all over.

"bite!"

"Second spring tea picking completed, experience +10!"

Looking at the mostly picked second spring leaves, Zhao Xiaoyang's fatigue instantly disappeared.

The tea leaves are spread on bamboo strips and then dried in the bright sun hanging high in the mountains to remove moisture.

Then Zhao Xiaoyang quickly took a hot shower to avoid getting cold again.

After lunch, Zhao Xiaoyang naturally went to the cherry orchard.

The countdown for several cherry saplings has long been over.

After buying growth agents, the five cherry saplings successfully entered the five-day countdown to their flowering period.

As for the largest one, it still has 77 hours to bloom.

As for the re-watered Sanchun tea, the countdown to maturity is still 5 hours.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoyang's mouth curled up slightly, and then he made a phone call.

"Ahua, are you busy this afternoon?"

"I'm not busy, I'm so bored!"

"Then it's okay to come with Xiaobao. Come to my place this afternoon and I'll treat you to tea."

"Okay, I'll go after I eat!"

"No need to be so anxious. You can come at three or four in the afternoon. I need to take a nap first."

Zhao Xiaoyang was telling the truth, he really did feel a little sore.

After staying in the city for a few years, my physical fitness seems to have declined a bit. When the spring tea is ripe, how can I not find two helpers?

After finishing the call, Zhao Xiaoyang looked at the panel with a stir in his heart.

Not bad, not bad. Everything is developing steadily in the direction I expect.

Although he had already spent more than ten thousand yuan, Zhao Xiaoyang didn't feel bad at all. Only with investment can there be returns!
