Zhao Shanshi and the others walked towards the foot of the mountain where camellias were picked, and from afar they saw a group of lively people gathered there, and bamboo baskets full of camellias were placed on the ground.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they found that most of the people in the village had come. When they saw Zhao Shanshi and Li Ping, many people greeted them warmly, "Mr. Manzi, Shan Shi, Li Ping, you are here."

"Hey." The old man responded with a smile, "A group of people went up the mountain just now?"

"No, this year we have a bumper crop of camellia oleifera seeds. Look, this rapeseed is bigger than your Dou Dou's fist." The speaker took out a green and reddish tea fruit, and put it aside with Dou Dou's small fist. Compare and compare.

"Really." Zhao Danshi took a look, nodded with certainty, and said with a smile, "This year's rain is good."

Doudou rolled his eyes, finally seeing such a lively scene, his eyes were full of curiosity, "Yeah."

Zhao Shanshi asked casually, "Auntie, where are we going to pick tea today?"

"Just these few mountains." Aunt Shuangniu waved her hand, "The camellia seeds on these mountains are all ripe, and if they are not picked, they will all fall."

"When it falls, pick up the tea seeds."

"That's right." Aunt Shuangniu said with a hearty smile: "There are a lot of tea seeds this year, and each of our households can get a lot. Tea oil is the most nourishing. If a child has red buttocks, it will be fine if you rub some tea oil. Your family needs it. My niece also just gave birth this year and asked me to buy some camellia oil. I don’t even know where to buy it, so I happened to be sleepy and gave me a pillow.”

DouDou seldom has red buttocks, but winter is coming, and it is indeed relatively dry outside, so it is better to prepare more tea oil for use.

They took a look here. Except for a few older people, everyone went up the mountain to pick tea seeds.

Both Zhao Danshi and Li Ping were young men in their prime, and they were embarrassed to stand here watching. The two of them picked up a load and followed up the mountain. Don't follow up the mountain secretly."

The old man waved his hand, "You know, I'm that unreliable person? You two, take your bags with you. Be careful on the road, don't slip."

Zhao Danshi responded, hugging Doudou, Li Ping carried an empty load behind him, and they went to pick tea seeds together behind the main force.

Zhao Danshi looked at the people all over the mountains and plains, and specially chose the direction with less people with Li Ping.

"When I was a child, I went to the mountain once with my friends in the village, but that time I picked tea ears to eat."

"What are tea ears?"

"It's a kind of leaf on a tea tree." Zhao Shanshi hugged him for a while, and gestured to him with one hand, "It's a kind of young leaves of a tea tree. The nutrients absorbed by the tea tree are all on these leaves. The leaves that come out are a little reddish and look thinner. Such leaves can be eaten, but they will be astringent. For those leaves that have grown for a few days, look for the kind of leaves that are relatively tender and thick, and taste a little sweet. Very crunchy and refreshing.”

"This kind of tea ear usually grows on the side of the tree, and it is only around Qingming Festival, so I probably can't find it now." Zhao Danshi felt a little regretful, "If you want to eat it, let's go up the mountain next year to see it. At that time, there was a lot of rain, and the mushrooms were also rare." There are many, just pick some spring mushrooms, some wild vegetables, and then come back to the video."

The sun on the mountain was just right, Zhao Danshi was smiling under the sun, his skin was so white that it was glowing, his bright smile tickled Li Ping's heart.

Li Ping listened to his plan and couldn't help but smile in response.

DouDou understood the word "eat", put his hands on Zhao Danshi's shoulders, his round eyes could not help but be full of longing.

They saw a few tea seed trees on the mountainside, big or small, with round fruits on them.

Dudou was tied to his chest by Zhao Danshi with a strap, and he wanted to grab the tea seeds when he saw them, but he couldn't reach them anyway. Xiaopang put his hands on Zhao Danshi's shoulders, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious, "Dad!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll let you down immediately." Zhao Danshi untied his straps and let Doudou get down to the ground.

DouDou could already walk two steps. When he hit the ground, his two little hands tightly grasped the tea tree, wanting to reach for the tea seeds.

Zhao Shanshi stood aside to protect him, seeing that the branch would not poke him, and he showed no signs of falling, so he let him go.

The couple took a small pocket cub to pick tea seeds, and exchanged one for another.

Someone saw them from afar and raised his voice and asked, "Do you have a lot of tea fruit? Do you want to come over?"

"Not much, just enough for the two of us."

"Hey, then I'll change places."

Seeing that they had picked half a load, the couple walked down the mountainside and picked at the foot of the mountain, and their baskets were almost full.

The mountain is full of miscellaneous trees and various shrubs. Zhao Danshi taught Dou Dou to identify them, and Dou Dou held on to a certain shrub without letting go. It was full of exquisite, thumb-sized fruits.

"This is myrtle." Zhao Danshi picked up Doudou, let him touch the wild fruit with his small hands, and repeated, "Myrtle."

"Yeah." Doudou touched those hard little fruits, felt very expressiony, turned to look at Zhao Danshi, his eyes sparkling.

Zhao Danshi smiled, "These can't be eaten, they won't be eaten until August or September next year."

The myrtle fruit is on the tree. If no one picks it, these small fruits will be evaporated and become extremely dry and hard. They will stay on the tree and will not fall.

Doudou didn't understand anything else, but he heard clearly that he couldn't eat it, and he lost interest in this stuff in an instant.

Seeing this, Li Ping couldn't help but patted his little head amusedly, "Let's go down the mountain and pick some prickly pears for you to eat."

At the foot of the mountain, there are continuous circles of thorn bubbles, which are sweet and sour, red or yellow, dotted like gems on the vines with similar leaves. It looks very pleasing, but no one is interested in them.

Adults do farm work every day, come and go, can see these, and no one will suddenly want to taste some, children will eat occasionally, but the thorn is too troublesome, it is better to go after being pricked several times Buy candy to eat.

When they went down the mountain, DouDou really liked prickly pears, and he stretched out his hand to pick them from afar.

Zhao Danshi picked a few bunches, first fed two to Doudou, then stuffed a few more into Li Ping's mouth, and finally stuffed two to himself.

"How about it, Dou Zai, isn't this food delicious?"

"Yeah." Doudou closed his eyes and opened them again, his small face wrinkled into a ball, soured by the prickly bubbles, and after the sour smell subsided, he opened his eyes and smacked his lips, and said "ah" to Zhao Shanshi, Obviously begging for food again.

"Tsk." Zhao Shanshi was amused, and after stuffing him with two prickly pears, he couldn't help looking at Li Ping, "Brother, who are you talking about, who loves to eat so much?"

"Maybe it's a skill he developed on his own, unlike anyone else."

After Zhao Danshi and Li Ping ate two bunches of prickly pears with their pockets, they picked some more and held them in their hands before turning out to join the large army on the side of the road.

The villagers picked them all morning, and most of the tea seeds had already been picked. Zhao Danshi counted them carefully, and there were at least fifty or sixty tans.

The old man was counting over there, and there were several old people with him. Everyone was counting while smoking. These tea fruits will be picked out to the big sun-drying field for a few days, and the black tea seeds inside can be taken out to be real. Send to oil press.

The village head, Zhao Huayong, had sharp eyes and saw them immediately, and hurriedly greeted them: "Shan Shi, Li Ping, you are here too?"

Zhao Shanshi smiled, "Isn't this a grand event in our village? Let's come and have a look."

An old man next to him moved a stool for them to sit on, and Li Ping quickly took it over, "Thank you, we will come by ourselves."

"Hey, come by yourself, you're welcome." Mr. Hua An smiled, seeing DouDou in their arms, he asked with a smile, "Why did you bring DouDou with you? There's so much smoke and dust here."

Seeing Doudou, several old people next to him hurriedly put out their cigarettes one by two.

Zhao Danshi and Li Ping greeted these old people one by one.

Zhao Huayong looked at them and said with a smile, "I was just about to find you, so here you are."

Zhao Danshi was not polite to him, and asked with a smile, "Uncle, what do you want from us?"

"Aren't we going to hold a village banquet? I haven't found a good head master yet. I want to ask if you are free and can you come to help. It would be even better if you can bring your apprentice."

Banquets are rarely held in their place. For weddings and funerals, the host family usually invites people to the hotel for dinner. Over time, the chefs from Shiliba Village disappeared, and most of the craftsmen went out to work. up.

Zhao Shanshi guessed that this was the matter, and he readily agreed, "Okay, no problem, just let me know when it's done, so I can free up time."

"That's it. It will take half a month, so prepare slowly and don't worry. I'll tell you about the dishes then."

It is hard to say exactly what specifications the village banquet will be held in. Everything will have to wait until the batch of camellia oil is sold.

"It's okay, by the way, Uncle, what to do with the tea shell and tea cake after the tea seeds are taken out, can you sell them to me?"

"You want this thing?" Hua An said openly.

"Yeah, don't we plant a lot of land? This tea husk is a good fertilizer when it is burned. It can be used to fertilize the field, and the tea cake can also kill insects. It's just a good time to kill insects in winter. Next year Good things to plant in spring."

The land of their family has been continuously cultivated, and it has been planted for more than a year. There must be a lot of pests in it. If they can kill the insects in winter, it will be much more convenient to farm next spring.

The tea cake decomposes very quickly, and it can be decomposed in ten days. The tea cake that was originally slightly poisonous just happens to be turned into fertilizer.Zhao Shanshi came up with the idea as soon as he heard that the village wanted to pick tea seeds.

As soon as Mr. Hua An heard what he said, he immediately said, "I thought it was a good thing. Don't you just have some tea shells and tea cakes? If you want it, just take it back. It's not worth much anyway."

A few old people nearby also said: "It is that there are not many people farming in our village except your family. If you take this tea shell back and burn it, you think it is not easy to burn. If you want it, you can take it back."

After Zhao Dan came to the village, he rented land and covered mountains, and made a lot of contributions to the village. Seeing that he was about to rise, everyone was willing to sell him some face.These old people in the village are elders, and they can speak in the Zhao family clan. They don't need to discuss such a small matter, they just make the decision directly.

Zhao Huayong smiled and didn't mean to object, but he didn't say anything to help, and if something happened in the future, it wouldn't be his responsibility.

Zhao Danshi smiled, "Then I'll thank the village first. I'll take my disciples to help out at the banquet this time, and I'll show you off when the time comes."

This little tea shell and tea cake earned three master chefs, everyone laughed, "Then we will wait to eat, you have to show your housekeeping skills."

"Don't worry, I will never disappoint everyone's expectations."

After Zhao Danshi made up his mind about this, he half-heartedly let go, chatted with these old people for a few more words, and then prepared to take the bag home.

The old man still has to wait here for the tea seeds to be harvested. These old people usually have nothing to do well, but when they encounter something, they can make themselves shine and work hard. They are very positive.

Zhao Danshi did not discourage his enthusiasm, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you should eat here at noon, and I will ask Mingtai to bring you some food later. Mr. Hua An, you should eat together too? Just try it my craft."

"Okay, then we won't be polite."

"Why are you being polite?" Zhao Shanshi smiled, "You guys just wait."

It was past twelve noon when they got home, and Zhao Mingtai was picking vegetables in the yard. Seeing them coming in, Zhao Mingtai leaned over and asked, "Master, I saw the prawns you bought. There are so many prawns, how do you cook them for lunch?" ah?"

"It's enough to make all fried prawns in oil." Zhao Danshi saw that Liu Erhua and Peng Yuyun had also returned, and directed Liu Erhua, "Erhua, you drive a motorcycle to the market to buy two catties of tofu, and you have to cook tofu at noon. Mingtai, come here with Fu Shun to catch a duck, we will kill the duck for lunch."

"Master, what day is it today? How did you make it so rich?"

"Our village is picking oil tea seeds, and there are several old people guarding there. After we finish cooking, we will send some food to those old people. By the way, you three should practice your skills during this time. I promise the village When the time comes, I will take the three of you to a village banquet to show off."

Zhao Mingtai was stunned. He pointed to his nose, "Let us do the village banquet?"

Zhao Shanshi looked at him and smiled, "Yes, this is the first job you do outside. How is it? Do you have confidence in yourself?"

"There must be some!" Zhao Mingtai threw the vegetables into the basket excitedly, pulled up Zhao Fushun and wanted to run outside, "Master, let's catch a big duck and let the old people in the village taste our cooking. "

"Go, go." Zhao Shanshi chased him away.

When they have made some progress in learning cooking for more than half a year, but there are many shortcomings, let them participate in practical activities, gain insights, and sharpen them by the way, so that they can calm down and learn seriously.

Zhao Mingtai was the liveliest among the three seniors, and he was also the most pushy. For this list, he put in 12 energy and cooked a good meal at noon. Five of the eight dishes were his chef, senior The juniors didn't fight with him.

Zhao Danshi didn't say much when he saw him like this, but just set aside some clean vegetables in an insulated box and asked the three brothers to send them to the foot of the mountain.

After they left, a group of people were eating, and the expressions on their faces changed immediately.

Zhao Danshi didn't speak, but Peng Yuyun and the others could taste the quality of the food. Once the food was served, they tasted it and they knew it.Zhao Danshi did not guide today's dishes, and the dishes were not as satisfactory. Some dishes were salty, some were bland, and some dishes were covered by side dishes, so they were not as delicious as before.

They were all used to Zhao Danshi's dishes, so they naturally felt something was wrong in comparison, but seeing the look on Zhao Danshi's face, it was hard to tell.

Peng Yuyun ate less than ever before, she put down her chopsticks after eating only one bowl of rice, while the others were as usual.

Zhao Danshi sighed in his heart. Cooking relies on solid craftsmanship.

Zhao Mingtai and the others happily brought the food over. The old people in the village were very talkative. After eating clean, they asked them to bring their plates back and praised them several times, telling them to work hard.

When Zhao Mingtai came back, his tail was almost up.Under the leadership of Zhao Danshi, they usually cook a lot, and the people in the yard praise them a lot. Even if they go out to sell vegetables in the county town, many customers think their craftsmanship is very good, even better than the chefs in some small restaurants. good.

Over time, they have no idea of ​​their true level.

Zhao Danshi didn't say anything to them, but when they came back, he cooked a table of dishes with the same ingredients, and then put them out for them to taste and see the difference between the two dishes.

After tasting it, the three apprentices blushed in shame and lowered their heads.

Zhao Danshi took a deep look at them, "The strong are even more powerful. If your requirements for yourself are the level of the village banquet, I won't say much about you. Now you can become teachers. If you have the same level of self for yourself For other requirements, I have to learn how to cook seriously in the future, which is far from enough.”

"I'm sorry, Master." Zhao Mingtai said slowly, "I will study hard."

Liu Erhua and Zhao Fushun also expressed their views.

Under this blow, the three of them calmed down a lot and did not dare to raise their tails anymore.

Zhao Danshi murmured to Li Ping when he was sleeping at night, "Brother, do you think I will hit them too hard? I can see that kid from Mingtai is dead."

Li Ping calmly said, "It's okay, you don't hit them, go out, some people tell them to be human. I think that kid in Mingtai has been a little impetuous recently, and his obedience is not as steady as before, so Erhua is fine. , It is also a good thing to beat them now."

Zhao Shanshi sighed, "I also think, you see how powerful that kid at Mingtai is, he can talk to anyone, when Senior Brother Yao is with him, he is almost blocked by him and has nothing to say."

Among the three apprentices, Zhao Mingtai is the smartest and the most active. If this kind of person works hard for the good, he may achieve the greatest achievement. If he doesn't learn well, he may be short-lived. In the end, he is far inferior to the heights that those who are down-to-earth and willing to work can achieve.

Li Ping smiled and said: "Don't worry, I think that kid has a long memory. If you beat him today, he will be able to calm down and learn his skills for a long time. That's enough."

"That's right." Zhao Shanshi took a book from the shelf next to him, and hesitantly said to Li Ping: "Brother, I want to change the plan for next year. How about we grow some tea?"

Li Bing laughed as soon as he heard it, "I was also going to tell you about this."

They went to the mountain today, and the camellia trees on the mountain are growing very well, so it shouldn't be bad if they switch to other teas.

They have a monsoon climate here, with abundant rain and moderate temperature, which is suitable for growing tea.

However, there is no tradition of growing tea here, and there are no good tea trees. If you really want to grow tea, you have to buy it outside.

Zhao Shanshi nodded, "It seems that we have a good understanding, and we are thinking of going together. Brother, what kind of tea do you think we should grow?"

"There are no traditional tea trees here. If we really want to grow tea, we may have to go to other places to find a way to buy tea trees." Li Ping said: "Why don't you ask out of the watch? His big data ability is the best, There should be an optimal solution.”

Watchman did not expect that they would suddenly want to grow tea. He spun twice in the air, "You ask me what kind of tea is suitable for growing here. I don't know, but where do you want to plant it? If you are sure that you want to grow tea, we will go together tomorrow Do some research to see where it is more suitable to plant, what is the nutritional content of the land, what is the climate, and then I can recommend suitable tea trees to you.”

Zhao Danshi's heart moved, "Is there any suitable tea tree in the Shouwang Mall?"

"Of course there is, but since you have already thought of asking for help from the mall, I think you might as well find a scientific research institution and submit the local tea species to it, and let the researchers modify it according to your requirements. There are some very good ones in the Shouwang Mall. Scientific research institutions, the varieties improved by them will definitely meet your requirements."

Zhao Danshi never imagined that he could still operate in this way, so he hurriedly searched, muttering while searching, "It seems that there are so many scientific research institutions that have just been established. Do many people have this kind of demand?"

"As far as I know, there are not many, but many research institutions are willing to place an order online. After all, if there are no customers, it will not prevent them from doing experiments. If someone really finds them, they can make a lot of money. Yes Alright, let's go and have a look tomorrow, if we really want to plant tea, we have to make sure as soon as possible, and plant the tea leaves before the spring, maybe there is still time to pick a batch of spring tea."

Li Pingdao: "If you ask the scientific research institutions above to reform, will the tea trees be exposed?"

"That's not true. According to the requirements of the law, the tea trees they transform can only match the technological level of your plane, and the genes in them can only come from the genes of your plane, and cannot appear in your plane. For new species, don’t worry anyway, the upper management is much stricter than yours.”

Watchman thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, there are tea trees in many mountains, but most people don't know them. If you have time, why don't we go up the mountain together tomorrow to see if there are any local tea trees that have not yet been developed. If there are any In other words, if we look for local tea trees, it will be easier to talk about developing new tea when the time comes.”

Now Overwatch is bound to them, with the same interests, shared honor and disgrace, and many creatures can take it. Overwatch has now learned to consider issues from their perspective.

Zhao Danshi didn't expect to have such a harvest. When he thought about the thousands or even tens of thousands of tea leaves on the Internet, he felt a little hot in his heart.

Even if more biological energy is going to be produced now, he is willing to produce a little more biological energy. When they get a batch of good tea trees, they will directly hire someone to fry the tea, and maybe they can sell it for tens of thousands per catty.

As far as he knows, tea is the best seller, and tea can be picked in three seasons of the year, spring tea, summer tea, and autumn tea, each of which has its own taste.

And they can make green tea or black tea. If they make black tea at that time, if they are stored properly, they are not afraid that they will not be sold in two years.Anyway, the tea stored within the shelf life will become more fragrant as it is stored.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain tomorrow, just as we haven't been up the mountain much since we came back."

With Overwatch, they don't have to worry about safety.

Li Ping thought far ahead, "Why don't we buy a tent and go up the mountain tomorrow, and if we don't have time, we can stay overnight in the mountain."

Their area is full of low mountains, and the mountain they built is just behind the back mountain. If there are tea trees on the mountain, it must be recorded in the data of the Watchman.Since there are no suitable tea trees on the nearby short hills, it means that they have to go into the mountains to find them. There is no road in the mountains. If they go in, they may really have to stay overnight.

"Okay, we just camped over there." Zhao Shanshi was a little excited when he mentioned this. With the little light bulb Dou Zai, the two of them hadn't lived together for a long time.
