Manor Romance

Chapter 94

Yunli smiled wryly, and explained: "I don't know the exact reason, but according to my inference, it should have something to do with the water source. The thousand-year-old wild Dahongpao tea tree has left the unique water source environment that has relied on thousands of years. The weak environment Changes can also cause resistance within its internal organization, leading to various problems.”

"It turns out that the temperature, climate, and soil can all be controlled through the conditions of the greenhouse. It's just that I can't go to Wuyi Mountain every once in a while to pick up a load of mountain spring water to feed it." Sun Qingze suddenly realized.

Brother Chen jokingly said: "Hey, if you knew at the beginning, you might have done it a long time ago. You are a tea-loving person. It's nothing to pick up a few loads of water. Maybe you even have a fear of flying. overcame."

Although Brother Chen said it as a joke, Mrs. Sun Tan Yue really thinks so. She knows her husband's personality better than anyone else. With Sun Qingze's personality, he really has such courage, but this assumption is no longer true. re-existed.

"Then what method did the little brother treat it well? If the tea tree is moved to other places in the future, will the same problem occur?" Sun Qingze revealed all the issues he was most concerned about, hoping to be able to leave here from Yunli , to learn more about tea trees.

Naturally, Yunli wouldn't talk about using electromagnetic force to treat him, but he had expected that the other party would ask such a question, so he also prepared some excuses: "Actually, being able to save the tea tree is also a matter of luck. In a hydroponic environment, the impurities accumulated in the tea tree are discharged, and then repeatedly extracted by chemical means, so that the tea tree gradually adapts to the current environment and gradually restores its vitality. After transplanting it back to the soil for planting, there should be no more growth The problem is, it’s just that after such a toss, I don’t know if the taste of the tea produced by the tea tree will be affected, I’ve tried my best to retain the unique substances in its body.”

"Haha, little brother, don't worry. It's great news for me that the tea tree can come back to life again. I can't force it to keep the taste, but seeing the tea tree like this, you can still smell it." The smell, the taste will definitely not be much worse, after it fully recovers, let's pick some to make a pot and try it." Sun Qingze smiled heartily, he didn't understand the methods Yunli said, but after hearing the tea tree There is no problem with the growth, which is enough to make him happy. As for how much the taste can be retained, he knows that this is beyond his control. He has planted tea trees for so many years, and he is very clear about the difficulty.

In fact, Yunli is quite sure that the taste of the tea leaves produced by the tea trees now will not be much different from the original ones. He has repeatedly researched and adjusted the treatment plan many times, in order to preserve the unique taste of the thousand-year-old tea trees.The reason why I mentioned this to Sun Qingze was just to cover up the existence of electromagnetic force. After all, it can preserve all the characteristics of the tea tree. Such means are by no means achievable by modern science. If someone really investigates, they can also attribute the reason over luck.

"Old Sun, you've seen enough. We're still waiting to see something good. Quickly open the box and have a look." Seeing that Yunli and Sun Qingze were chatting endlessly, Brother Chen proposed aloud.

Brother Chen's words immediately focused everyone's attention on the big wooden box lying on the side, and Yunli had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but he never had a chance to say it. Unexpectedly, Brother Chen said it first up.

He has been busy during this time, and all the materials he read are related to the things in the box. It can be said that it is because of the things in the box that he is so attentive, full of firepower, and prepared a lot of relevant knowledge , this time you can explore it well.

After careful observation, this large rectangular wooden box is not an ordinary thing. The wooden body is dark red and has not been painted. The natural texture of the surface is clearly visible. When touched by hand, it is not as rough as imagined, smooth and thick , very high quality.

The structure of the box is very simple. It is divided into the lid and the box body. The closure of the two is made to fit perfectly. There is a shallow contact mark. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t really find it. I’m afraid you can’t even stuff the paper into it, and you can’t see anything. Switch settings such as latches.

I saw Sun Qingze touched the middle edge of the box with his hand, found a place, and then pressed hard with his thumb, a square depression appeared on the wooden board. Hold one end of the lid and move it up vertically, and it opens quickly, revealing the true face of Mount Lu inside.

Inside the huge wooden box, the bottom was covered with a layer of white silk, and in the middle was a vacuum-transparent airtight bag, inside which lay a small brown-black tree with thick branches that almost filled the entire big wooden box. , the twigs and leaves have been disposed of, and there are no roots. It can no longer be called a tree. It is more appropriate to call it wood or a specimen.

"Old Sun, is this what you said on the phone? Except for the mysterious packaging, it doesn't look like it at all. This thing has really lived for more than 1000 years?" Everyone looked at the small tree in the box, and Old brother Chen couldn't see any tricks, so he couldn't help asking.

Sun Qingze nodded solemnly, and replied: "That's it. It is said that the tree is far more than 1000 years old, even older than the Dahongpao, but I really don't know if it is still alive."

"You are on the phone, didn't you say that this thing is in a dormant period, and there is still a possibility of resuscitating it?" Brother Chen continued to ask.

Sun Qingze spread his hands afterwards and explained: "This is what the experts said, and it happened several years ago. No one knows what the situation is now. The airbag is a low-vacuum environment, leaving only very scarce air. Suitable for it to sleep."

"Boy, can you see something?" Unable to get an answer from Sun Qingze, Brother Chen turned to Yunli and asked.

Yunli didn't answer right away. After walking around the wooden box, he carefully picked up the half-bulged air bag, carefully inspected the cuts on each branch, and found that all the cuts had been sealed with wax. The place is smooth and smooth, without mildew and rot, and the branches are very thick, and there should be no hollowness inside.

He secretly probed with electromagnetic force, but found no obvious signs of life. Even if it was alive, it fell into a dormant state as Sun Qingze said, and at most it was only half breathed, and it was only a few steps away from dying. .

"I haven't come to a conclusion yet. I have to think of a way and do an experiment to test it out. Even if it still has signs of life, the chance of being saved is almost zero. This is for sure." After observing, Yun Li shook his head and sighed.

"Grandpa, isn't this box my dad's birthday gift to you? It turns out that it's just a dry tree inside. I heard that you can't survive, and you can't cook a meal if you burn it. It's not bad to make a pot of tea. My dad is also stingy." Sun Mei had known for a long time that their family had this wooden box, but Sun Qingze kept offering it as a treasure, and she didn't know what was inside, so now she saw it and told herself The imaginary things are far away, so I can't help but laugh out loud.

"My dear granddaughter, this dry tree has a lot of history. If it weren't for a coincidence, it wouldn't be in your father's hands. Remember that six or seven years ago, when you were just in high school, the company was working on a big project. , This dry tree came from that incident." Mrs. Sun stroked Sun Mei's hair dotingly, and explained the origin of the box and the small tree to others.

About seven years ago, Sun Mei's parents basically took over the company's affairs at that time. Thanks to Sun Qingze's solid foundation, the company's development was very smooth. It took over a part of the construction project in a large tourist area, and the entire company's manpower and material resources , basically put into this project.

But luck is not as good as people's calculations. Due to formalities and other problems, this tourist area development project was forced to temporarily suspend. In the end, it became an unfinished project. Several bosses fled and hid. This period can be regarded as the most difficult time since the establishment of the company.

At that time, Sun Qingze and Tan Yue came out to take charge of the company's affairs, while Sun Mei's parents went to collect the debts owed. Fortunately, the big boss was quite reputable, and sold a lot of property, and compensated each partner one after another. They directly used things to pay off debts, and took out many treasures.

When Sun Mei's parents came to ask for help, they were the last batch. All the good things were divided up by others, leaving only some worthless things.The big boss is quite familiar with them, and he is very optimistic about the potential of their company. It's just that this accident happened, and he can't protect himself.

Sun Mei's parents were soft-hearted. Seeing that the big boss was so down and out, he had to give up on the debt collection for the time being, and even comforted him. The big boss was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, but he didn't expect that he could still feel the warmth of people's hearts when he was at his worst. So he gave the big wooden box and the small tree inside to Sun Mei's parents.

This small tree is actually a tea tree, a well-known Longjing tea tree, which is thousands of years old. The boss bought it from an underground auction. The big boss paid a lot of money. As for the box, he later asked someone to customize it.

This thousand-year-old Longjing tea tree has a long history. Everyone in the world knows that Longjing tea originated in a place called Longjing in West Lake. It is known as "Royal Tea". When Emperor Qianlong visited the West Lake, he praised this Longjing tea, making it the title of No.1 tea.

Although the history of picking and drinking Longjing tea is only more than 1000 years, the oldest Longjing tea tree is more than 2000 years old, and it is still alive today. It has been protected and has become a tourist attraction.

Generally speaking, tea trees grow for hundreds of thousands of years. Except for the special case of wild Dahongpao, which grows in the crevices of mountain streams, the size of the tea tree is several stories high. The small tree in front of me is also a special case. It grows in Longjing Mu Xiaolongjing on the branch.
