Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 83
At the Lantern Festival, although the fire did not ignite, many people were injured and some were even trampled to death due to the chaotic flow of people.

There are also many children who were abducted in the chaos.

The government office in Hangzhou was in a mess, and Fu Cheng was scolded bloody by the magistrate.

It's just that these have nothing to do with Xie Jue and Su Yue.

After Mr. Gu and the others left, Xie Jue and Su Yue also left on the third day.

They drove two carriages, the big one was Xie Jue and Su Yue sitting, the smaller one behind put their luggage, Wang Chun Xiali drove a carriage alone, and Xie Qi took care of him on horseback.

Without a single maid, Su Yue automatically reduced herself to the status of a maid.

But, that’s just bubble tea.

Most of the time, I still look at the scenery outside and sleep.

It's already the end of the first lunar month, the new green is showing, and the flowers are blooming in early spring.

Walking from Hangzhou to the tea garden by land, there are beautiful scenery along the way.

When encountering a famous scenic spot, Xie Jue would stop and take her there for two days.

If it wasn't for the time to catch up with Chunya, Su Yue would be a little bit overjoyed.

In this way, when we arrived in Chong'an, it was already the end of February, when the best tea buds began to be picked.

Mr. Gu only said that the tea mountain was bought in Chong'an, and Su Yue didn't know until he arrived at the tea mountain that he bought it in Tongmu County!

That's where the best tea trees in Wuyi Mountain are located!
It's just that there is Beiyuan tribute tea at this time, so the place is not famous yet, and the whole tea mountain is hidden among the high mountains.

The place where the tea house is located is in the nest of two mountains, and a small river meanders by.

The surrounding mountains and forests are not high, but they are extremely dense, and there are many flowing springs. From the mountain down, forming a series of waterfalls.

The tea trees here absorb the aura of heaven and earth and are moistened by the surrounding forests. The aroma of the tea leaves is stronger than that of other places.

In modern times, the tea made from the green tea picked in the deep mountains here costs [-] yuan (RMB) per catty!
Su Yue was so excited that she was speechless.

Making tea with paulownia tea is the dream of all tea lovers.

Now, such a large tea mountain belongs to her!

Watching Su Yue take off her coat and climb up the mountain, Xie Jue blocked Xie Qi, said with a smile on her lips, "It's okay, let her play."

Seeing this happy appearance, I'm afraid this place is really in her favor.

After thinking about it, he said to Xie Qi: "Ask again, are there any tea gardens around here?"

"Xie Jue!" Su Yue climbed up the hillside, picked a tea bud from a tea tree, sniffed it lightly, and shouted at Xie Jue.

Excited, she actually called his name directly, Xie Qi rubbed his nose and turned to look at Xie Jue.

Xie Jue responded with a smile, "I'm here."

"Wait another half a month, and I will let you taste the most delicious tea at this time!" Su Yue raised the piece of tea bud and said.

Xie Jue didn't understand why it took half a month. When she made it last year, it took only three days from picking the tea buds to making the finished tea.

But then he understood.

Su Yue told the tea pickers not to go up the mountain to pick tea. She squatted on the tea mountain and stared at the tea buds every day. She didn't let the workers start picking tea until ten days later.

These two tea gardens used to have their own tea masters, but the tea picking workers were hired separately. The stewards of the tea gardens saw a new owner, and some wanted to do better, so they invited the best tea picking workers early. Here comes.

But the new owner was a little girl, and he didn't let them pick the youngest buds. Moreover, he told the young girls he specially invited, don't use your lips, just use your hands.

I also did a demonstration by myself, and conducted a training for the more than 200 people.

Anyway, food and lodging were included, and wages were also paid. Those workers were patient, and when Su Yue gave an order, they went up to the mountain to pick tea before dawn.

Xie Jue followed Su Yue up the mountain, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you have to wait ten days?"

Su Yue pointed to the light mist surrounding the tea mountain and said: "Look, the temperature here is lower than outside, and the water vapor is also sufficient. After the tea tree has stored nutrients for a winter, it is now time to absorb the freshest and freshest mist. When the natural energy is the strongest, if the tea is picked too early and the tea leaves are not absorbed enough, then the tea that comes out will not have enough flavor and nutrition. Picking now is the time when they taste the most delicious.”

The quality of tea green directly affects the taste of finished tea.

Black tea, black tea, oolong tea, and rock tea are different from green tea, which only pursues the cleanest and most elegant taste. They all pay attention to mellow aroma and stamina. Therefore, fresh tea leaves must allow them to absorb enough nutrition and the aura of the mountain forest.

The first wave of tea buds was sent down the mountain, and Su Yue also entered the tea farm, changed her clothes and prepared to start work.

This tea farm was also brought by the tea garden, but after Mr. Gu bought it, he asked the steward to remodel it according to Su Yue's request.

It is divided into two areas.

A shed with an area of ​​more than 700 square meters is used for sun drying and kneading. Inside is a house of more than 500 square meters made of green bricks. The floor is paved with bluestone slabs. There are many charcoal stoves.

After the inner room was completed, the original workers could not enter.

More than 30 people came from outside and lived next to the house.

When the tea leaves are green, the first thing is to spread them out to dry, which can be done by the twenty or so people in the tea plantation, and then rub the greens, which can also be done by the original people.

But after kneading the greens, send them to the house for fermentation and fire roasting, which is a secret.

The leaders of the people who lived next to the house were the five big men who used to make tea with Su Yue, and each of them brought six people under him.

Su Yue understood that these people were fine.

She doesn't expect those five big guys to learn, as long as they take good care of the people under them.

There are more than 200 tea-picking workers, and the amount of green tea produced in a day is several thousand catties.

She can't do it alone.

After kneading the green tea, Su Yue asked Xie Jue to find a way to recruit people to pick the green tea, and then brought the 30 people into the house.

Xie Jue asked Xie Qi to recruit people again, and asked Wang Chun and Xia Li to lead the stewards to manage tea picking and collection, calculate wages, and go to other tea gardens nearby to collect tea greens.

Whenever I have a chance, I go into that room and watch Su Yue make tea.

When Su Yue made tea, she couldn't see anything else in her eyes.

Walking back and forth between piles of piles of fermented tea piles and roasting ovens that start to fire.

Use your fingers to detect the temperature and dryness of the fermentation, check the temperature of the fire, and a series of instructions are issued continuously.

When waiting for time, I sit in front of the fire oven I specially made, and slowly roast the tea I made myself.

The room is specially made, with a special smoke outlet, the tea fragrance inside is so strong that it makes people intoxicated, but the tea shed outside is unaware of it.

Three days later, Su Yue gave Xie Jue the tea she made herself.

Xie Jue: It's over, I can't crush her with the method of boiling tea in the future...

Then he jumped up and put away all the tea made by Su Yue, without giving it to anyone.

Su Yue didn't even give her a drink if she wanted to!
Su Yue: I'll do it again!
