Chapter 559: The Ancient Tea Tree King
When he woke up the next day, Song Shan didn't have any headaches.
Although the alcohol content is not low and the stamina is large, it is still quite comfortable to drink, and the aroma of the tea also neutralizes some problems after drinking.
After a simple scrubbing, Song Shan walked out along the corridor with Lin Ledong and Xu Shaowu.
Along the way, the fragrance of this tea is very special.
Fragrant, hearty.
Under such an environment, it is no less than the natural environment of Fengsheng Village, and the big mansion surrounded by tea mountains still has a unique charm.
"Chairman Song, good morning!"
Waiting at the gate of the courtyard is talking.
Young people under the age of thirty.
Tan Hui's eldest son, the vice president of Tan's tea industry, is said to be a top student who graduated from Yale University, and is one of the heirs of the third generation of the Tan family.
"Good morning!"
A lazy smile appeared on Song Shan's face.
"Chairman Song, breakfast is ready!"
During the conversation, Song Shan and his party were brought to the dining table, and at this time, Tan Hui and others were already waiting at the table, which was not a very rich breakfast, but a relatively idle local characteristic.
It's a pleasure to eat well.
"Why don't you see the old man?"
Song Shan asked.
"The old man is old after all!" Tan Hui wiped his mouth and said softly: "A cooperative project, I don't want to nag him too much, and he will now focus on his tea tree cultivation!"
"That's right, the old man is so old, it's time to take care of himself!"
Song Shan shrugged when he heard this.
The corners of his mouth raised a playful arc, this Tan Hui did a little obviously, put the old man aside and talked to himself, it seems that he is a little sure.
"Chairman Song, our Tanjia tea house, a batch of new tea is out today, why don't you go and take a look!"
Tan Hui said invitedly.
"Okay, open your eyes!" Song Shan nodded.
After breakfast, everyone walked out of the mansion.
The morning sun was also a little bright, but the talkers had already prepared, and the hats prepared by each person did not look like a group of businessmen talking about business, but like a group of farmers.
Surrounded by undulating mountains, all of them are Tanjia's tea mountains, and on each tea mountain, there are many tea gardens, some in the shape of terraces, and some are a wavy and undulating plain.
This green patch covers the whole world.
"At present, do you still use manual tea picking?" Song Shan looked at the tea garden, where the hard-working tea pickers were picking tea.
"Tea picking is a craft!"
Tan Hui said analytically: "When picking fresh leaves, you must have the right technique, once there is a mistake in the technique, forming a pull-shaped opening, and tearing off the root bark of the part, the tea itself will have problems with the quality, this kind of tea, commonly known as horseshoe mouth, even if it is picked, it is only the next tea!"
He pointed to the surrounding workers and said, "These tea pickers can only take up their posts after our Tanjia has undergone strict training, so as to ensure that the tea leaves they pick can preserve the greatest tea flavor!"
Next, they took Song Shan, Lin Ledong and a few people, walked along the tea mountain, and walked to a bright square, with dustpans on the shelves, on which were fresh leaves and hair tea.
"After picking, it's time to dry!"
Tan Hui continued to introduce: "The stall also pays attention to the heat, and the difference is thousands of miles!"
Next to the square, there is a huge factory building.
"After the stall is dried, it is finished!"
Tan Hui led Song Shan into the factory: "In fact, there are many exclusive methods for finishing, mainly two types, one is the drum type, the other is the pot frying type, at present we are using the pot frying, this is the ancient process, the process of finishing, is related to the final quality of tea, Pu'er tea is about the older the more mellow, the finishing is not good, light is not good!"
After passing through the factory, there is also a large square opposite, on this square, there are still shelves, with dustpans, and the dustpans are all finished after the hair.
"After the finishing, it will go through the second stall drying!"
Tan Hui pointed to the dustpan of tea leaves.
Walking over, it was another factory, and rows of workers were processing tea leaves on the dustpan that was sent in.
Tan Hui continued to explain to Song Shan, and said: "After the stall is dried, you can enter the next process, rolling, the purpose of kneading, is to make the tea green in the shape of a strip, if the kneading is insufficient, the tea will be in the shape of a sheet, so that the taste will be light, if the kneading is excessive, the tea will be dull, and the tea soup will become turbid!"
"In the end, it's dry!"
"The drying process is also very important, and the most important thing is to control the temperature!"
"After drying, the hair tea can be made into raw loose tea, which is not only a finished tea that can be drunk, but also can be continued to be processed, blended, made into Pu'er pressed tea, and can also be made into Pu'er ripe tea through the process of holding the pile!"
Tan Hui showed Song Shan the production process of the entire Tanjia Tea House.
I don't know how the tea house is outside.
But the tea that goes out from here, in the production process, the Tanjia is still very particular, the whole process is artificially made, and the tea leaves that come out are all high-quality teas.
"Three hundred and sixty-five lines, the best in the line!" Song Shan smiled: "This kind of tea is an art, and this tea making is also an art!"
He suddenly understood a little bit that Tan Hui was so enthusiastic about showing him the Tan family's tea-making process today.
It is nothing more than telling him a fact.
You know how to grow tea, that's your skill.
But when we talk about home, it's not just about planting tea, we talk about the process of making tea, which is an advantage you don't have.
He is ready for the next negotiations.
......
The group climbed over a tea mountain and walked to the tea garden opposite.
The tea garden on the opposite side is opposite the location of the Tanjia manor, but there are not many tea trees, but they are all old tea trees, and every tea tree here is obviously historical.
This is the foundation of Tanjia.
There are not many old tea trees today.
There are so many talkers, and it is no wonder that in the field of Pu'er tea, talkers can be the best.
Among these old tea trees, the tea king is the plant that Song Shan is most interested in.
This old tea tree, has not yet entered, Song Shan has already felt the surging vitality, the ancient tea tree grows on a steep slope, growing very luxuriantly.
"This is the ancient tea tree of our Tan family, and it is one of the Pu'er tea tree kings in the world today!"
Tan Hui proudly introduced to Song Shan.
The Tan family can have today's glory, and this ancient tea tree, is inseparable, how many years to guard this ancient tea tree, Tan family accumulated countless wealth.
At that time, the Tan family had just started, and it was with the tea leaves of this ancient tea tree that they contributed to the Ming Imperial Palace, thus obtaining the identity of the imperial merchant tribute tea.
This is the status of Tanjia in the tea industry.
"Our ancient tea tree, although not as good as the one in Iceland, but also has a history of more than 2,000 years, the tree is nine meters high, the crown is twenty-six meters, the annual production of tea, about 2,000 kilograms, some years of good harvest, at most more than 2,200 kilograms, if the harvest is not very good, more than 1,000 kilograms have also been tried, but this tea tree, has always grown very well, there has never been a problem!"
A family member next to him also said proudly.
"It's a surprising tea tree indeed!"
Song Shan approached.
This tea tree, he feels a little special, I don't know why, it's just a pure crushed feeling.
"Can I feel it for myself?"
Song Shan asked.
"Of course you can!" Tan Hui nodded.
If it were someone else, he would definitely not let people get close to the ancient tea tree, but Song Shan could, he had seen the kind of person who was obsessed with growing tea like his old man, and naturally he would not suspect that Song Shan was a person who had a natural affection for plants.
"What a special tea tree!"
"But!"
"It looks like it's sick!"
Song Shan walked around this tea tree twice, and asked him to step forward, touch it, and even scrape the skin of the tea tree with his nails, this kind of skin made him feel wrong.
"But this rich vitality doesn't quite look like being sick!"
"......"
Song Shan didn't feel that there was a reason for coming, that is, he felt that this tree, growing here, looked a little out of place.
"Mr. Tan, can you cut one of the branches of this old tea tree to me!" Song Shan begged: "I am particularly interested in ancient plants, and you are a tea tree, obviously wild, wild tea tree, there is a lot of room for research!"
The earth is changing day by day, and so is plant life, some new plant life is emerging, and some old plant life is disappearing.
As for Song Shan, he prefers to study and preserve the life of ancient plants.
This sense of accomplishment for him is happier than earning hundreds of millions.
In addition, he obviously felt some familiar breath from this ancient tea tree, but he couldn't say something, or maybe he felt something wrong.
"Yes!"
Tan Hui nodded, the ancient tea tree should also be pruned once a year.
He asked people to use a ladder, and then cut off a long branch that was supposed to be pruned, and then handed it to Song Shan, before the negotiations began, as long as the bottom line of the talker was not involved, he tried his best to meet Song Shan's conditions.
In this way, he can also have confidence when negotiating.
Song Shan played with this branch, which was only about fifteen centimeters long, and cut it out, he could feel a trace of treacherous aura.
"Sure enough, the breath of the Origin Ding!"
This time, Song Shan felt it more clearly.
He couldn't understand that the life of this ancient tea tree would contain the breath of Shennong's origin tripod, and he and the origin tripod had not been together for a year and a half, and this breath would not be wrong.
At this time, Song Shan looked at the tree, and his eyes deepened slightly.
What is his root.
It's Shennong Ding.
Shennong's original source tripod has achieved his planting achievements today.
Similarly, Shennong Ding is also related to those unbelievable things on him, he cares about this Ding very much, and the Origin Ding is obviously defective.
He wanted to make it up.
