Chapter 563: Opening Ceremony
Old Man Qiao's reaction made Xiao Ping very uneasy, and he dared to spend a lot of effort to build a tea garden for nothing, this was not the result of Xiao Ping's desire to know the Dao.
When Old Man Qiao sighed for the sixth time, Xiao Ping finally couldn't help but ask him, "Old man, is this tea garden so bad?" There's no spot for you to look at? ”
Old Man Qiao maintained his usual silent is golden style, and didn't pay attention to Xiao Ping's meaning at all, just sighed so as not to go up the mountain. It seems that the old man is planning to look at the entire tea garden first, and then express his opinion. Xiao Ping naturally hurriedly followed, just wanting to know what the old man of Lu Dao said about the tea garden.
When the tea garden was first built, everything was done according to the highest standards, and the stairs leading to the highest part of the tea garden were also wide and gentle, much better than the mountain road of Lion Rock, and it was easy for people to walk on it. Such a road is naturally nothing to Old Man Qiao, who has climbed the Lion Rock all year round, and he came to the highest point of the tea garden near the top of the mountain in one breath, and then stopped to look around.
"Old man, this big cement pond behind you is the storage tank of the entire tea garden irrigation equipment, and in case of a severe drought, the water here will be used to irrigate the entire tea garden." Seeing that Old Man Qiao stopped, Xiao Ping hurriedly introduced him: "Do you see the pipe that leads down from here?" These are the water pipes for watering, and there is a water outlet next to each tea tree, so that not a single tea tree is watered, and at the same time it can avoid waste. ”
Of course, there is a more important reason why Xiao Ping did not say it, that is, this can also avoid the waste of spiritual fluid to the greatest extent. This is his biggest secret, and the fewer people who know the Tao, the better.
Old Man Qiao didn't seem to hear Xiao Ping's words, and he was noncommittal about his introduction. I walked to the nearest tea tree and observed it carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "The variety is good!" ”
"This is the descendant of the eighteen Imperial Tea Dragon Wells over there. The variety is certainly good. Xiao Ping, who couldn't wait, couldn't help but ask: "Old man, what do you think of my tea garden?" ”
"Good variety. The watering facilities are complete and the planting density is ok. Because of the tea tree, Old Man Qiao also had a lot more words: "But ...... Tea trees are planted too deeply! The gutter is too shallow! The difference in height of each step is not enough! There is no finishing venue in front of the roasted tea room! The steps up the hill are too wide! Alas! ”
Xiao Ping was quite happy to hear Old Man Qiao's evaluation at first, but then he was quickly dumbfounded. I didn't expect that the tea garden, which was almost perfect in my eyes, was full of shortcomings in the eyes of the old man. No wonder Old Man Qiao sighed all the way just now, and he was really dissatisfied!
But now that Old Man Qiao has spoken, Xiao Ping can't take it seriously, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone and nodded while recording: "Okay, okay." You say, I'll change! ”
Seeing that Xiao Ping's attitude was so good, Old Man Qiao also had a look of relief on his face, and slowed down his tone and said: "The drainage ditch is deepened, the finishing site must be completed, and the others can be improvised!" ”
Xiao Ping carefully noted down the areas that needed to be rectified, and planned to find someone to rectify them as soon as the opening ceremony was over.
Speaking of which, Old Man Qiao is really fond of tea, and he just wants to leave when he enters the tea garden. He asked Xiao Ping to go back to work first, while he stayed alone in the mountains and did not return to the farm until evening. Even lunch was sent to the tea garden by Xiao Ping.
Time flies, and soon the day of the opening ceremony is coming.
At present, Xiao Ping is quite famous, and since he has held this opening ceremony, there will naturally be no fewer guests. Most of the visitors are hotel managers and chefs. Or the merchants who distribute health oral liquid, and even Ma Jie, a big distributor in Shencheng, also came to congratulate them. The arrival of so many guests also makes the tea garden, which is very quiet on weekdays, very lively.
As the owner of a tea plantation. Xiao Ping, who was smiling, greeted guests warmly at the door, making every guest feel at home. Flower baskets sent by the guests were placed from the entrance of the tea garden to the foot of the mountain. It looks spectacular, too.
More than ten minutes before the ceremony began, President Guo and two people from the Provincial Tea Industry Association hurried over. He asked people to bring the basket of flowers he had brought. Then he greeted Xiao Ping with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, it's late, I'm really sorry, the road is really congested!" ”
Anyway, people weren't late, so Xiao Ping smiled indifferently and said, "I'm already very surprised that President Guo can come in person, and besides, the ceremony hasn't started yet, it's okay, it's okay!" ”
President Guo smiled and wanted to say something, but he inadvertently saw the impatient old man Qiao not far away, and couldn't help but be shocked and said, "That ...... Isn't that Mr. Qiao! ”
Xiao Ping asked in surprise, "President Guo also knows Old Man Qiao?" ”
"That's nature!" President Guo said with reverence on his face: "I don't dare to say it nationwide, but in this Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province and even the entire Jiangnan region, if anyone doesn't know Mr. Qiao, how can they be embarrassed to say that they are people who understand tea!" ”
Seeing that President Guo was not joking, Xiao Ping couldn't help but be secretly frightened. He naturally knew that the old man Qiao's skill in roasting tea was superb, and he guessed that the old man's status in this industry would not be low, but he didn't expect to be so famous. Judging from President Guo's words, Mr. Qiao has a very high status in the country.
Before Xiao Ping could figure this out, President Guo had already greeted him and rushed over to say hello to Old Man Qiao. Speaking of which, President Guo also has a very high status in the tea industry in this province, but seeing Old Man Qiao is like a primary school student meeting a teacher, and his respectful appearance is really unbearable.
And Old Man Qiao was much calmer, still ignoring everyone, just nodded to President Guo and said, "Okay!" Then he was silent.
Even this surprised Chairman Guo, who felt that Mr. Qiao's temper seemed to be much better than the legend, and the legend said that Mr. Qiao didn't like to deal with others at all. It is said that the vice president of the National Tea Industry Association made a special trip to visit Mr. Qiao last time, and the vice president Ren said that Mr. Qiao did not say a word from beginning to end, but he didn't even look at the other party.
Thinking of this, President Guo was already happy, and he was able to say hello to Mr. Qiao, the best roasted tea master in the tea industry, and also the most withdrawn old man, and the other party also replied, it will be bragging capital in the future!
Of course, President Guo didn't know that Old Man Qiao suddenly became so easy to get along with, it was entirely for Xiao Ping's sake. If he didn't think that the other party was Xiao Ping's guest, he should give that person a little face, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the president of the tea association.
The opening ceremony began quickly, and under the careful arrangement of Zhong Weirong, everything went very smoothly. However, when it came to the guest speeches, there were some problems that I hadn't thought of beforehand. (To be continued......)
