Chapter 234 The Regret of Being Blinded by Lust



Haven't you seen the six mother trees of "Da Hong Pao" tea in Wuyishan?

After successfully applying for World Natural and Cultural Heritage status in 2000, Wuyishan was included in the "World Natural and Cultural Heritage List".

In 2003, the Wuyishan Municipal Government insured those six "Da Hong Pao" mother trees for 100 million yuan. They have long been among the most valuable ancient and famous trees in my country.

Since 2006, the harvesting of the "Da Hong Pao" mother tree has been prohibited, and the mother tree "Da Hong Pao" has no longer been seen in the market.

Those three "Da Hong Pao" mother trees produced tea that became a royal tribute during the Qing Dynasty, and those three mother tea trees have long belonged to the state.

The local government has been sending troops to guard and protect the area since the 1930s.

During the Cultural Revolution, when society was in such chaos, no one dared to harm those six "Da Hong Pao" mother trees, which shows how much the country valued these precious ancient tea trees.

Our country has many famous teas, including Menghai large-leaf tea, Fengqing large-leaf tea, Fuding white tea, and Tieguanyin, all of which are national-level high-quality tea varieties.

It has long been protected by the local government, and the tea produced there is not something that ordinary people can buy.

It has long since become a kind of material reward or a hard currency for the exchange of benefits in the upper class.

Although Chen Hong didn't have the ability to drink truly high-quality tea before, she believed that everything produced by the space was of the highest quality.

Even if her space isn't as extraordinary or ethereal as described in other novels, it's still not as magical as it seems.

It's amazing that space can shorten the growth cycle of plants and keep things from spoiling for a long time.

The fruits and vegetables produced in the space are especially fresh, delicious, and nutritious.

Chen Hong has never taken the vegetables and fruits grown in her space to an appraisal agency to test their nutritional components.

However, the honey produced in the space is all harvested from the flowers and plants that grow in the space.

The highly active substances detected can promote human cell metabolism, which Chen Hong firmly believes is the key to maintaining human vitality.

The tea tree that Chen Hong moved into the space, although not the thousand-year-old tree she claimed to be, was still over a hundred years old.

Despite growing in such a barren environment deep in the mountains, the quality of the product is so good that even Mr. Wang, a wealthy businessman from Jinan, and Director Fang Yitong from Beijing, could not forget it after drinking it.

Moreover, the mother tree that Chen Hong transplanted into the space to grow has been enhanced by the space, and Chen Hong believes that the quality of its tea has definitely improved significantly.

Chen Hong checked online and found that the exorbitant price of Wuyishan "Da Hong Pao" tea was not only due to its miraculous quality, but also to many other objective reasons.

First, "Da Hong Pao" is too famous. Historical records show that during the Qing Dynasty, the mother tree of "Da Hong Pao" had already become a tribute to the royal family, which directly raised the value of this tea.

Furthermore, in 1972, Chairman Mao presented US President Nixon with four ounces of "Da Hong Pao" mother tree tea, giving it special significance as a national gift.

Secondly, "Da Hong Pao" does indeed have medicinal value. Da Hong Pao is rich in three beneficial components: tea polyphenols, tea polysaccharides, and theanine.

That's why there's a story about a scholar named Ding Xian from the Qing Dynasty who cured his stomachache by drinking tea from the mother tree, "Da Hong Pao".

The beneficial components contained in "Da Hong Pao" tea, according to modern scientific analysis, have anti-cancer, lipid-lowering, and memory-enhancing effects, which is why it is highly sought after by modern people.

Thirdly, there is the rarity of "Da Hong Pao". It is said that only eight ounces of tea can be produced from the original Da Hong Pao tea tree each year.

In 1998 and 2005, 20 grams of tea were sold at auction for 156,800 yuan and 198,000 yuan respectively.

In the same year, 2005, not long after, the same 20 grams of tea were auctioned off for a record-breaking price of 208,000 yuan, an increase of 10,000 yuan.

Each kilogram of tea is worth 5.2 million yuan! That's twenty times more expensive than gold at the same time!

Of course, this value cannot be compared to that of gold. After all, if you have the money, buying twenty or thirty kilograms of gold a year is a piece of cake.

Even if you have a lot of money, try buying a pound of "Da Hong Pao" tea from the mother tree.

That's not a price issue at all! Not to mention that the harvesting of the mother tree "Da Hong Pao" has been prohibited by the state since 2006.

Back when harvesting was permitted every year, only a handful of people out of China's more than one billion population could enjoy such premium tea.

Moreover, even among these extremely few people, it's impossible to receive much each year; what they actually get is so much that it can be weighed in grams.

Chen Hong is confident that the Yunwu tea in her hands has medicinal, health-preserving, and nutritional functions that are no less than those of the legendary mother tree "Da Hong Pao".

If this gets out and falls into the hands of a true tea connoisseur, it will definitely cause a huge uproar and stir up a fierce competition among the upper echelons.

Now, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Hong is starting to regret her decision regarding the price of this cloud and mist tea.

She was too soft-hearted and lacked willpower. She didn't have much self-control when facing Zhou Yijuncao and shouldn't have been blinded by his so-called love.

"Lust is a dangerous thing." It seems that lust is not a male prerogative. Chen Hong felt that she had also experienced the ultimate feeling of being blinded by lust.

Thinking of the unpredictable consequences that the appearance of Yunwu Tea would bring, Chen Hong quickly tried to find a way to remedy the situation.

“Aunt Zhou, there’s something I need to make clear to you. When you go back, please tell Uncle Zhou and Xiao Xue that the origin of Yunwu Tea must be kept a secret.”

This tea is extremely precious. The owner of the tea lives deep in the mountains and keeps a low profile. When he gave me the tea, he also told me to keep it for myself and not to give it away.

I didn't even let Dr. Wu know anything about it, because I knew that the two Uncle Zhous had served in the army their whole lives and their health wasn't very good.

I would never take out the finest tea I'm drinking.

You three elders should keep this pound of tea for yourselves; you must never let anyone know.

We are just ordinary people, and we have no power to participate in the power struggles among high-ranking officials.

To avoid causing trouble for myself, I would appreciate it if you three elders would be understanding and keep this a secret. Otherwise, I will have no face to see my friends in the mountains again.

When Zhou Yi's mother heard Chen Hong's words, her heart tightened, as if she understood the unspoken meaning behind Chen Hong's words.

The old lady couldn't sit still any longer. She took the tea leaves from Chen Hong and got up to leave.

"Chen Hong, don't worry. Although our two families haven't known each other for long, the three of us old folks know that your care for us comes from the bottom of your heart."

Although my family can't be called a wealthy family in Beijing, we are a family of loyal and righteous soldiers for generations, and we would never go back on our word or break our promises.

I promise you right now, not a single tea leaf will be passed on to anyone else. We will also not tell anyone about this tea leaf.

Good things should be kept secret and enjoyed in private. Some things cannot be spoken of, only hidden. Some secrets can only be kept hidden.

We understand this principle! We are older than you and have experienced more than you. We will keep the matter of tea to ourselves.

"You stay home and get busy, I need to hurry back and tell the three of them first."
