The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Xu Yin had breakfast and walked on the large platform in front of the courtyard.

There were villagers picking tea below. They saw her saying hello loudly: "Yin Yin, are you up? Why don't you sleep more? You young people go to bed late, so you should sleep more in the morning! Those boys in our family are on vacation. I can’t get up until noon if I don’t sleep.”

Xu Yin said with a smile: "I went to bed early last night, so I woke up early."

She slept on the plane yesterday, slept all afternoon here, and slept from 09:30 to [-] a.m., which was enough sleep time.

But don't mention it, her body really needs to sleep like this to feel energetic, otherwise she will get tired easily.

The aunt praised her for her good habits: "I will ask my boys to follow your example later. They should go to bed early and get up early. How can they not sleep at night and be a night god and stay in bed during the day? If this continues, the body will still be healthy. Well."

After saying that, he probably came to his senses and quickly made up for it: "Yinyin, I'm not talking about you. You were brought out of your mother's womb. There's nothing we can do about it."

Xu Yin smiled and changed the subject: "Auntie, the tea you picked is summer tea, right?"

"That's right! It's summer in June, and the tea is old and a little bitter when brewed. But don't say it, those who are elderly and those who work in construction sites like this bitter taste of summer. Tea, refreshing!”

Speaking of tea, the aunt picked the tea quickly and said:
"Yin Yin, you have to find a way to repair the tea bushes at your grandfather's house, otherwise you won't be able to pick the golden leaf buds even if you want to pick tea in the future. Your Uncle Xu Jiang's family moved to the city a few years ago. He thought your tea trees were blocking his private land, so he simply stopped growing tea. All his tea trees were sold to Chen Laoer from the next village, and his private land was left uncultivated. Other families generally did not go to the east end area to help Your tea trees are rarely pruned. I accidentally thought of it that day and wanted to help you do some pruning, my dear! Those tea trees are so spread out that they are almost as big as the big trees. It’s impossible to prun them without a ladder."

In detail, Xu Jiang is Grandpa Xu's distant cousin. However, Xu Jiang's grandfather and Grandpa Xu's parents had a quarrel over the homestead, and the quarrel was very fierce. Grandpa Xu's father's leg was almost injured by Xu Jiang's grandfather using a hoe. .Later, when Grandpa Xu became prosperous, the Xu Jiang family was somewhat afraid of his revenge.No, seeing that Grandpa Xu returned to the village to build roads and houses to provide for his retirement, their family simply moved out of Taoli Village and went to the city to make a living.

Before their family moved out, they would prune the tea trees at Grandpa Xu’s house. Firstly, it blocked the lighting in their private land, and secondly, because there was no one in Grandpa Xu’s house, they could earn more by picking tea by the way.

Since the Xu Jiang family moved away, the lighting in other homes has not been affected, so I won’t pay special attention to it. Occasionally, if I pass by and see a pair of scissors in my hand, I will help them repair it. If I don’t have scissors, I will sigh in my heart: The tea trees in Lao Xu's house are in bloom.I wouldn't go home and get some scissors to fix it.

As time went by, the tea tree grew bigger, taller and taller. It couldn't be repaired without a ladder, so it was left to grow uncontrollably.

Xu Yin was about to go and visit the Xu family's private land, so she said, "Auntie, thank you for reminding me. I'll go and have a look right now."

"Okay, go ahead and call out if you need help. My farm is topdressing the cornfield below."

"okay."

After wandering around for a while, Xu Yin took Xiao Tao for a slow stroll to the Xu family's private plot.

Walk down the mountainside for a while, and then walk eastward along someone else's tea garden. After walking about 600 meters, you seem to have turned a corner on the mountain. In front of you, there are several tall bushes of blooming tea trees that don't look like tea trees. This is Lao Xu The family's private land.

I counted thirty tea trees in total, divided into three rows, with ten clusters in each row.

Originally, there was sufficient space between rows and clusters, but now they are tall and large, growing in a divergent pattern like sun umbrellas. You can still tell the distance between them. If you want to see the tea trees in the top row, don't squeeze in. I want to squeeze through.

Xiao Tao said: "I will ask the bodyguard to come over with a pair of scissors to repair it later, but we need to find a knowledgeable person to give guidance, otherwise we will not know how to repair the tea tree properly."

Xu Yin twisted a piece of tea leaf and brought it to the tip of her nose and smelled it: "It's okay, I know something." She grew tea in a small world in ancient times, and also learned how to fry tea at that time.Although I haven’t touched it for a long time, I haven’t forgotten it.

Xiao Tao thought she had learned it from Grandpa Xu when she was a child, and didn't think much about it: "Then I'll call the bodyguard to come and trim it now?"

"There's no rush. Let's find a herringbone ladder first and pick some buds back."

Tea trees that have not been taken care of for decades are no different from wild ones. If you fry them and try them, they may have a different flavor.

Xiao Tao made a call and went back. After a while, two bodyguards who had installed the smart surveillance came over carrying an aluminum telescopic ladder, a kettle, and two small rattan tea baskets.

At first glance, the ladder didn't look like a tool in the old Xu's utility room. It looked like it was newly purchased.

"Mr. Xu should have sent someone to prepare it. There are many new tools like this in the utility room." Xiao Tao explained.

Xu Yin sincerely sighed: My cousin is so attentive, even taking these into consideration.

As long as the bodyguards are there, Xu Yin can give them guidance and teach them how to identify tea buds and how to pick them without damaging the buds and losing tea polyphenols.

Tea is picked from the young leaves that have just grown from the top of the tea leaves.

After the tea tree survives the honeysuckle and comes spring, the tips of the branches slowly grow pedicles, and then grow into fish leaves, also called fetal leaves.

After passing through the fish leaves, the first buds that emerge before they grow into leaves are picked and are considered top-grade tea;

If you miss it and do not pick it, new buds will appear after it is allowed to continue to grow into tea leaves. This is one bud and one leaf.

"What kind of tea counts one bud and one leaf?" Xiao Tao asked while listening.

If I have a notebook in my hand, I want to write it down and digest it slowly when I go back.

Although her hometown is in a rural area, tea is not produced there, so her knowledge of tea is limited to drinking it, and she really doesn’t know much about other aspects.

But Mr. Xu sent her to Miss Xu to assist her. She didn’t even know how to assist?You have to learn quickly!
Xu Yin explained: "One bud and one leaf means a bud head with a leaf. This kind of tea has a sweet aftertaste after brewing. Although it is not as good as a single bud standing upright, it is still a treasure among teas."

"If there is one bud and one leaf, is there also one bud and two leaves?" Xiao Tao drew inferences.

Xu Yin smiled: "Yes, one bud has two leaves, and the tea has a rich flavor. Then there are one bud with three leaves, one bud with four leaves... The more leaves, the better the color and taste of the brewed tea. The richer the tea, the more affordable it is. The cheapest is old tea with tea stems. We young people may not be used to drinking it, but the older generation likes it very much. They think tea must be strong. "

"It's the same as wine? The higher the alcohol content, the more exciting it is?"

"haha, yes."
