Chapter 3 Tea Picking
When he came to the tea field and found a tea garden that was not occupied by people and the tea core was growing well, Wei Ming asked the family to tie their own plastic film around their waist to prevent their clothes from being wet by dew, and then they were ready to start picking tea.
After starting to pick tea, Wei Mingrang found that it was useful for tea picking.
For beginners to pick tea, they need to see the position of a tea core, and then twist and pick it with one hand. It's like typing on a computer, watching the keyboard practice one-finger Zen, very slow.
Intermediate tea pickers begin to learn to pick tea with both hands, which hand is close to the tea core, which hand is used, and the speed is slightly faster.
Just like the computer practicing typing, I began to consciously use different fingers to press different keys.
But because I don't remember the position of the key, I have to use my eyes from time to time to find where the corresponding keycap is.
And the senior tea pickers can already reach the point where their hands and eyes are one, and their hands are constantly picking, just like the computer blind typing.
However, it is more convenient for the computer to type blindly by memorizing the keyboard layout, and the keycap position will not change.
As for the tea leaves, the position of each tea core is different, and there is no law, you can only rely on the eyes to see, and then pass it to the brain, and the brain then directs the fingers to pick.
There are also faster, tea pickers of this level like Wei Mingrang, their eyes are not staring at the tea core to pick, but looking at the position, in the process of picking the tea core with their fingers, the eyes have already looked at the position of the next tea core.
Fingers are picked blindly according to the position that the eye has seen and remembered.
As a result, there will sometimes be deviations in this process, resulting in fingers pinching over, but not pinching the tea core, or pinching other leaves, doing useless work.
Before he was reborn, Wei Mingrang hadn't picked tea for almost ten years, and even if he remembered how to pick it, his technique was not proficient.
But this time when he started picking tea again, Wei Mingrang found that he had completely adapted after only a short period of adaptation.
Moreover, as a person in his 30s with a psychological age, Wei Ming also made his attention very focused, and he picked tea faster than in his previous life.
With a sweep of the eyes, it is clear where each tea core on the tea tree is.
The two hands continue to stretch out, the thumb and index finger pinch the tea core, gently pinch, the tea core is pinched off, and then put into the palm, the fingers go to pick the next tea core, until the palm can not be put down and then put back into the crossbody tea pocket, accurate and fast, almost zero mistakes.
Wei Mingfei, the third sister who was standing in the tea ditch picking tea next to her, happened to look up and saw the eldest brother's tea picking speed, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Brother, why are you picking tea so fast today?"
Wei Mingrang smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because of the martial arts practice!"
The third sister cut off, didn't care about him anymore, and continued to pick tea by herself.
Wei Mingrang knew that this was due to his ability to remember.
Reborn back in 2005, with a leading edge of more than ten years, it even comes with unforgettable benefits.
Sure enough, it was a full hand of king fried.
Originally, the tea pocket made of bamboo can hold four or five catties of tea core, everyone generally picks a tea bag in the morning to weigh, and then goes home to get food to eat, and then picks a tea bag in the afternoon.
At the end of the day, it's seven or eight pounds.
But this time, Wei Mingrang was less than 10 o'clock, and the tea pocket was full, so he had to leave the tea garden early and go to Ma Changzheng's tea processing factory to weigh tea.
Hu Mengxian, who was separated by two lines of tea ditch, saw it and asked, "Mingrang, where are you going?"
Wei Ming said, "Mom, I'm full, I'll weigh it first." ”
Hu Mengxian was surprised: "So fast?"
Wei Mingrang smiled: "Yes, I picked it faster today." ”
Hu Mengxian nodded and didn't ask any more.
On the way to the processing plant, several tea farmers who knew him were surprised that Wei Mingrang went to weigh the tea so early.
However, everyone knows that Wei Mingrang is usually one of the fastest people to pick tea, but he is not too surprised.
When I arrived at the processing factory, the person in charge of collecting tea was Ma Changzheng's mother Liang Yulan, who was in her 60s, a little picky, taking advantage, and looking down on people.
Seeing Wei Mingrang come to weigh tea so early, Liang Yulan was surprised.
Then, when Wei Mingrang poured the tea core into the tea tray specially weighed tea, put it on and weighed it, showing 5 catties and 6 taels, Liang Yulan said unhappily: "You picked too much tea dew, you have to wipe it off, and count it as 5 catties for you!"
Wei Mingrang was not angry, and said, "It's okay, then I'll take it home and dry the dew, and I'll just get you another 5 catties in the afternoon." ”
After speaking, he was ready to serve the tea tray and pour it into his tea pocket.
Liang Yulan's face changed, and she held down the tea tray and said, "What are you kidding?
Wei Ming smiled and said, "Didn't you say that there is a lot of dew and only five catties of tea?" Then I'll take it back and dry it, and I'll send you five catties back in the afternoon, won't I'll get it?"
Liang Yulan naturally didn't do it.
5 catties and 6 taels of tea, no matter how much dew there is, it may only be one or two taels, how can Wei Mingrang take it home, only return 5 catties, and let Wei Mingrang stay at home for the rest, for nothing?
You know, this tea core is not cheap.
Liang Yulan insisted that Wei Ming let the tea dew be picked a lot, and he must wipe a few taels of dew, at least three taels.
Wei Mingrang didn't let one or two, insisting that he had to remember 5 catties and 6 taels, and he was not used to her stinky problem.
Because Wei Mingrang knew that every time Liang Yulan and the tea pickers had a conflict and a stalemate, her son and boss Ma Changzheng would appear to mediate and resolve the conflict.
Wei Mingrang didn't understand it before, but later he understood that the mother and son were a red-faced singer and a white-faced singer, taking advantage of the tea pickers, and always wanted to wipe a little bit of change.
One or two is not much, but everyone wipes a point, wipes a point every day, and accumulates over time, which is not a small amount.
Even if you encounter a spicy one and don't let her wipe it, it doesn't matter.
Of course, it is good to be able to take advantage, but if you can't take advantage of it, Ma Changzheng will come out to reconcile, and it will not stimulate contradictions.
Sure enough, after Wei Mingrang and Liang Yulan argued loudly for a few words, Ma Changzheng walked out of the tea-making workshop, asked two questions, and asked his mother to give Wei Mingrang 5 catties and 6 taels.
Liang Yulan wrote it down to Wei Mingrang with an unhappy face, and Ma Changzheng also said two words of good face, asking Wei Mingrang to remember to call him when he got the university notice and put the promotion wine.
Wei Mingrang agreed on his face, but he didn't take it to heart.
Ma Changzheng is not from this village, but from the county seat.
The relationship with the villagers is that he rents the collective land of the villager group to grow 200 acres of tea, and then everyone usually goes to his tea garden to pick tea to earn some wages.
Usually, Ma Changzheng's family has no contact with the people in the village at all, and there is a faint taste of looking down on the rural people, and I haven't seen anyone who has ever drunk and he has given gifts.
Later, Ma Changzheng's matter of raising a junior outside was discovered by his wife, which turned the world upside down, and the tea farm did not renew the lease after it expired, and he lost contact with the Tongxin villager group.
There's no need to talk to people like that.
