After Gu Chengfeng sent Su Nuan to the hotel, the two said goodbye.
After returning to the hotel, Su Nuan was still in a very good mood. At this time, Chen Meirong came to report.
"Miss, Chen Yunlong came to report today. You were away, so he asked me to tell you that regarding the matcha pastries and food you mentioned earlier, he has found some suppliers for matcha. He's going to the countryside to check out the tea plantations tomorrow, and he wanted to know if you're free and would like to go with him."
Su Nuan has nothing to do tomorrow, so she asks Chen Meirong to notify Chen Yunlong to go together.
On the second day, Chen Yunlong came early in the morning. Since they were going to the tea garden in the countryside today, Su Nuan wore a white shirt with a striped knitted vest, black trousers, black leather shoes, a black wool coat on the outside, and carried an Hermès bag.
After breakfast, the group drove directly to a village in Hangzhou, Jiangnan. In ancient times, Jiangnan was famous for its production of famous teas. The famous West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Lushan Yunwu, Huangshan Maojian, and Lu'an Guapian are all produced in the Jiangnan area.
The tea needed for matcha is green tea. Good matcha is steamed green tea ground into powder with a stone mill. Fresh and tender tea leaves are selected, withered on the day of picking, dried, and ground into powder to retain the original natural green color and nutrients of the tea leaves to the greatest extent. The matcha made in this way is delicate, smooth, and has a fresh aroma.
After driving for almost two hours, the car entered the village. The compacted yellow soil was bumpy and the road surface was uneven. Su Nuan, who was not prone to motion sickness, felt a little carsick. The car finally arrived at the destination after shaking.
There were a few aunties and grandmas sitting under a big tree in the village, chatting. Suddenly, a car came into the village, causing a big sensation. At that time, people had rarely seen cars, and they were chattering about whose rich relative it was. Chen Yunlong got out first, and then Jack got out to open the door for Su Nuan.
"Mr. Su, please wait a moment. I have contacted the village chief before. I will go and call him over right away."
"Okay, you go first."
I finally arrived. I felt dizzy from the journey. The village chief hadn't come yet, so I found a quiet place to sit down and rest while waiting.
At this time, Johnson came over with a kettle, ready to pour water for Su Nuan.
While Su Nuan was drinking water, several aunties came over to ask about her.
"My dear, which family are you related to? Who are you looking for?"
Su Nuan politely replied, "Auntie, I'm not here to visit relatives. I'm here to take a look at the tea in the village and buy some if I find something suitable."
"Oh, so you are here to collect tea leaves. I can tell you are an extraordinary girl, very impressive."
"Auntie, you are too kind."
Seeing Su Nuan's friendly face, the aunties and grandmas who had been hesitant and didn't dare to come over before all gathered around. When Johnson and Jack were about to protect Su Nuan, Su Nuan stopped them. They said that since they were new here, there was no need to cause any disputes. The people in the village were simple and honest, so nothing would happen.
Johnson and Jack had no choice but to stand on Su Nuan's left and right.
Looking at the two tall and strong men protecting Su Nuan, it was obvious that Su Nuan was not ordinary. The aunties who were talking became more cautious in their words.
Su Nuan soothed them softly and chatted with the aunties intentionally or unintentionally to learn about the tea business in the village.
The tea gardens in this village have been growing tea for generations, with a history of hundreds of years. In ancient times, tea was a tribute, and the oldest tea tree in the village is hundreds of years old. Now most of the village's income comes from tea, which is more profitable than growing grain.
While a few people were chatting, Chen Yunlong came with the village chief. As soon as the village chief arrived, the aunts dispersed.
Chen Yunlong first introduced, "Village Chief, this is our General Manager Su, General Manager Su, this is the Village Chief."
"Hello, Village Chief. Sorry to bother you today."
"Mr. Su, you're welcome. I'll take you to the tea garden now."
"Okay, village chief, you lead the way."
Several people followed the village chief into the tea garden.
