Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Current Situation of the Village
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Hou Li looked at Lu Yu with a confused expression.
Most of these words were ancient sayings, and of course he didn't understand them a little.
Lu Yu smiled slightly.
He said a sentence from the "Grand View of Tea".
Although this sentence originally said "rock tea".
But it's also quite appropriate now......
The author of this "Daguan Tea Treatise".
It is the famous tea man in the original world and the history of China.
He is also an emperor full of literature and art.
Song Huizong Zhao Ji!
Although this emperor is romantic, his end is also relatively miserable.
But it's also talented.
He is especially fond of tea, and is best at "the way of ordering tea".
It is rumored that the peerless beauty Li Shishi.
It was brewed by him with a superb "way of ordering tea......
Ahem!
The meaning that Lu Yu wants to express is also very simple.
The tea grown by Hou Li's family is not excellent except that the tea varieties are not good.
The land structure of choice.
and cultivation methods.
A bush of good tea.
What is needed is not just a good tea seedling.
One side of the water and soil to support the other side.
The same goes for tea.
Have you ever heard that there has been a high-grade dragon well on the shore of Dongting Lake?
Have you ever heard that Mengding nectar can be grown on the Yellow Mountain?
Although the land is fertile, the climate is suitable.
But it is also necessary to plant the right tea seedlings.
This is probably one of the reasons why there is no good tea in this world.
Good tea is hidden deep in the mountains.
It also needs to be found, picked and made.
To develop.
It is more necessary to adapt measures to local conditions and carefully cultivate.
Just like the tea grown in the village of Hou Li's family.
Although it is also hard work.
But there is still no good tea.
The reason for this.
There is no good tea seed, let alone a way.
Come to think of this.
Lu Yu smiled and looked at Hou Li who was dazed.
"I mean, you're going to have good tea here. ”
Hou Li's eyes lit up: "Brother, are you serious? Zhenlei Mountain can really produce good tea?"
"Really!"
Lu Yu nodded firmly: "It's not just Zhenlei Mountain......
"There are also Cheyun Mountain, Jiyun Mountain, Yunwu Mountain, Tianyun Mountain, and Lianyun Mountain!"
"There are also Black Dragon Pond and White Dragon Pond!"
"There are also Hejiazhai and Lingshan Temple!"
"Xinyang's five clouds, two pools, one mountain, one village, one temple!"
"The entire mountain range around Xinyang, the entire bank of the Shihe River, can produce good tea!"
Under Lu Yu's determined gaze and words.
Houli was also infected!
I feel the blood boiling all over my body!
"Brother, what you said is so good! I really admire you!"
Lu Yuyun took a sip of tea lightly: "Don't blindly engage in personality worship!"
Hou Li shook his head vigorously: "Brother, I'm serious!"
"I've been born here since I was a child, and I'm not as familiar with us as you are!"
"Brother not only knows that there are so many mountains here, but also knows the Black Dragon Pond and the White Dragon Pond!"
"Brother, you're amazing!"
Burst!
Lu Yu sprayed a sip of tea on Hou Li's face and almost choked to death!
Just now he had a feeling.
Relying on the memories of the original world, he said it casually.
But Hou Li, this kid didn't listen to the point!
The point is my momentum and self-confidence!
For Hou Li, Lu Yu is no longer able to complain.
He wiped his mouth and patted Houli on the shoulder.
"Hehe, brother, stay first, I'll go to sleep!"
Hou Li wiped his face in confusion and nodded.
"Brother, are you going to sleep?
didn't wait for Lu Yu to answer.
Xiao Shen Xuan, who was not far away, suddenly raised his head and let out a sneer.
"Lu Yu pretended to fail, of course I'm not in the mood to talk to you!"
Poof!
Lu Yu, who was not far away, fell directly.
Shen Xuan, this little girl...... Can you please stop telling the truth?!
"Xiaoxuan, you go to sleep too! Otherwise, I won't buy you a mobile phone!"
Xiao Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then puffed up her little cheeks......
"Lu Yu is the worst! Lu Yu is the worst!"
……
Early the next morning.
Lu Yu hadn't gotten up yet.
Then I heard the movement in the courtyard.
It turned out that Houli's parents were preparing breakfast.
Anyway, I don't feel sleepy.
Lu Yu simply got up and pushed the door out.
Hou Ma greeted with a smile: "Xiao Lu is up, is it noisy for you?"
Lu Yu hurriedly shook his head: "No! I always get up early!
As he spoke, Lu Yu looked left and right.
asked: "Seeing that Bailu is coming, the village does not accept tea?"
Father Hou smiled when he heard this: "What kind of tea do you collect? This is the tea that we harvest in the spring." ”
"Even if you collect tea in summer and autumn, no one wants it. ”
"We're going to take care of it when we're fine. ”
"Now the young people in the village have gone out to work. ”
"Most of the older ones have started farming. ”
"Your aunt and I have just returned from working in the city for a few days. ”
Lu Yu nodded lightly, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Hou, why didn't you see the tools you used to work?"
Hou Ma said: "Xiao Lu is talking about tea picking tools, right?"
"It's all in the small warehouse at the back of the house!"
"Can I go check it out?"
"This kid, what's wrong with this! The warehouse is not locked, I asked the second child to take you there!"
Lu Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I'll just go and see for myself!"
"Let Hou Liduo sleep for a while!"
"You go!"
After saying goodbye to Hou Li's parents.
Lu Yu came to the small warehouse behind the main house.
Say it's a small warehouse.
In fact, it is a small shed made of asbestos tiles.
Remove the outermost asbestos tile.
The things in the warehouse suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes.
Two bamboo baskets for tea picking are stacked in the corner.
A hat for shade hangs on the wall.
A large stack of bamboo dustpan baskets is piled high, which should be used for drying tea.
In addition, there are three large iron pots on the side.
……
After looking at these tea-making tools.
Lu Yu frowned slightly.
It seems that what Houli's father said was right.
The tea farmers in the village have gradually lost confidence in growing tea.
Even these tools are no longer well maintained.
He looked around again.
Except for some gadgets.
Nothing else was found.
He simply went back to the front yard.
"Uncle, where are you spreading tea and stir-frying tea?"
Daddy Hou straightened up and raised his hand to point: "It's the earthen stove over there!"
Earthen stove ......
Lu Yu looked in the direction of his finger.
Sure enough, I saw that there was an earthen stove built with bricks near the gate of the courtyard.
It's just that it's useless for a few months.
There were a few other things piled on top of the earthen stove.
So I didn't see it when I first came.
"What about the tea?" Lu Yu asked.
Hou Dad said: "It's also here! There is a shelf in the back room, and when the time comes, you can put a dustpan basket in the yard." ”
"Oh!"
Lu Yu then remembered.
I do seem to have seen a few shelf-like things in the back of the house.
It's absolutely not okay to make tea like this!
Don't say there is no good tea right now.
Even if there is good tea, it will be a waste if you use this method to make tea!
However, Lu Yu also understands Hou Li's parents and the tea farmers in the village.
Now Huaxia tea in the market cannot be sold at a price.
And there is only one season's harvest.
If you can really have enough food and clothing.
Who wants to leave the tea fields left by their ancestors.
Uprooted and working outside the home?
Tea farmers also have to live!
Just as he was about to say something more.
The door to the main house was suddenly pushed open.
Xiao Shen Xuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Lu Yu, you will take me to the mountains to play in a while!"
