Chapter 520: Boutique Tea Garden
After more than 20 days of construction, the tea garden has begun to take shape, and it can be seen that Wang Dacang and Zhong Weirong have indeed not spent less energy here.
The trees, shrubs, and weeds that used to grow in a mess on Baiyun Mountain have all been cleared. The steep slope of the hill is also trimmed by heavy machinery into the shape of a ladder, which extends from the base of the mountain to the height near the top of the mountain, where the tea trees will be planted later. However, the stairs have just been repaired, and there is nothing to grow at the moment, so the slopes on all sides have become bare, which makes Xiao Ping, who is used to seeing verdant mountains, a little unaccustomed.
Some workers are busy halfway up the mountain, seemingly paving a road from the base of the mountain to the top. The crane lifts the cement slabs one by one, and then the workers work together to push the cement slabs into place, paving a wide staircase up the hillside.
When the staircase is fully paved, it will lead to the highest part of the tea plantation, providing a path for tea pickers and visitors to easily get up and down the tea plantation. After all, the tea garden will also take Xiao Ping's consistent high-quality road in the future, and it is still necessary to build infrastructure well.
In addition to the wide staircase, an irrigation system spread throughout the tea plantation is naturally essential. When Xiao Ping proposed to lay an irrigation system in the tea plantation, Wang Dacang and the others were very surprised. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, where there is a lot of precipitation, tea gardens rely on the sky for food, and the water needed for the growth of tea trees basically depends on rainfall. Only in very dry conditions do you need to water by hand, usually with temporary pumping water. A permanent irrigation system for tea plantations like Xiao Ping is unique in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Xiao Ping's explanation for this arrangement is, of course, that it is necessary to build a high-quality tea garden. All the hardware is essential. In fact, he planned to use the irrigation system to water the tea plantation with the river water mixed with spiritual liquid when needed, just like the orchard. This is just to improve the quality of the tea.
Xiao Ping found out with satisfaction that during the time he was away. The construction of the tea plantation is progressing quickly. The infrastructure is almost complete, and half of the roasted tea workshop at the foot of the mountain has been built, and if this progress continues, the tea garden will be fully completed by the onset of summer. He planned to wait until the crisp autumn day to pick up Old Man Qiao to take a look. Xiao Ping did not do this to show his merit to the old man, but to let Old Man Qiao know that he would definitely pass on the skill of roasting tea, so that his old man could rest assured.
Xiao Ping walked up the mountain while thinking about his thoughts, and happened to be seen by Wang Cannon, who hurried down from the mountain.
"Ugh. Boss, you're finally back! After seeing Xiao Ping, Wang Cannon immediately shouted in his trademark loud voice: "We are all about to die, if you don't come back, Zhong Weirong will have to go to the United States to find you in person!" ”
Although Xiao Ping is on the other side of the ocean, he is not really completely ignorant of domestic affairs, and he still keeps in touch with Zhong Weirong and Wang Dacang on the phone. Therefore, Xiao Ping knew that the situation was not as urgent as Wang Cannon said, but his personality was more anxious, and his speech was a little exaggerated.
"Hehe, actually, it doesn't matter if I don't come back." Xiao Pingle smiled happily: "The tea garden is very well built. I know that with your ability, there is no problem in doing this well! ”
was put on this high hat by Xiao Ping, and Wang Dacang immediately showed a smug smile on his face. He has always been a straightforward person, and immediately nodded vigorously: "Don't say it yet." For the sake of this tea garden, Xiao Zhong and I have put a lot of effort into it. Xiao Zhong is responsible for dealing with all aspects, and I keep an eye on it every day, otherwise the construction speed would not be so fast. ”
Zhilu Dao King Cannon is telling the truth. Xiao Ping said with a straight face: "Lao Wang, I know in my heart the efforts of you and Manager Zhong. This time it's really thanks to you. ”
Seeing that Xiao Ping was serious, Wang Dacang waved his hand a little embarrassed and said, "Everyone is for the better development of the company." It's not a big deal. But there's one thing I have to ask you, when are you going to plant tea trees? ”
"The sooner the better, of course." Xiao Ping didn't think about it and said: "If you plant a year earlier, the tea garden will be able to pick tea a year earlier, right?" ”
Wang Dacang nodded and said, "Now that you can plant the tea trees, you'd better prepare the tea seedlings as soon as possible." After a while, it will be Huangmeitian, which is also the opportunity to plant tea seedlings after the first half of the year. Otherwise, we will have to wait until after winter, and most of the waiting period will pass. ”
Xiao Ping nodded approvingly: "You're right, I'll go to contact the nursery and get the tea seedlings as soon as possible." ”
In fact, Xiao Ping would not contact any nursery at all. When he decided to build a tea garden, he thought about it, so he used the tea trees in the demon refining pot as the mother to propagate the tea trees needed by the tea garden.
The tea trees in the demon refining pot originated from the eighteen imperial tea trees on the Lion Rock, and they were originally first-class and good varieties. In addition, it has been cultivated in the demon refining pot for so long, so it has naturally been further improved. The seedlings propagated with these tea trees are undoubtedly the best batch of Longjing tea trees in the country. If it is combined with the roasted tea skills inherited by Old Man Qiao, the Longjing tea produced in this tea garden will definitely become the object of everyone's pursuit in the future.
Of course, in order to reach that step, you must first plant the tea seedlings. Thinking of this, Xiao Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had just come back and was busy with the demon refining pot at night, he was really a hard worker.
Although I sigh in my heart, I still have to do what needs to be done. After taking a look around the tea garden under construction, he began to call his confidantes, friends and subordinates one by one, telling everyone that he had arrived home safely.
Xiao Ping has been gone for more than half a month, and it is also appropriate to call to report his safety when he comes back. Most of the people who received the call were happy, except for Li Weiguo, the director of the factory, who reacted a little differently.
"Boss, you finally remember to come back!" Li Weiguo shouted loudly on the other end of the phone: "If you come back ten days late, I won't be able to do it as the factory director!" ”
Hearing Li Weiguo's exaggeration, Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh and said: "Director Li, what's so serious, you actually force you to pick a son?" ”
Listening to Xiao Ping's tone, Li Weiguo on the other end of the phone said angrily: "Raw materials, boss!" The raw materials in the warehouse will last for a maximum of ten days, after which production will have to be stopped! Now that this oral liquid is selling so well, the loss of stopping for a day is huge, and I can't afford this responsibility! ”
Zhilu said that Li Weiguo was thinking about the factory and the company, and Xiao Ping couldn't help but be glad that he had such a responsible subordinate. Thinking of this, he also put away his relaxed tone and said to Li Weiguo seriously: "Don't worry, Director Li." I guarantee that the raw materials will be delivered to you within a week, and the factory will definitely not stop production! ”
Hearing Xiao Ping say seriously, Li Weiguo also calmed down, and greeted him embarrassedly: "Boss, I was a little anxious just now, and my tone of voice was a little rushed, don't take it to heart." ”
Xiao Ping didn't mind, and immediately smiled when he heard this: "How can I be angry, Director Li, you are anxious about the company and the factory, it's too late for me to be happy." That's it, the raw materials will definitely be delivered within a week! ”
In fact, according to Xiao Pingyuan's calculations, the herbs that have been shipped to the factory can be maintained for a longer time. However, because the health oral liquid is so popular, there are sellers from all over the world, hoping to sell this very effective oral liquid.
Zhong Weirong reported the situation to Xiao Ping on the phone, and after discussing it, the two decided to increase some production to meet the requirements of the market. It is precisely because of this that the raw materials in stock in the factory are consumed so quickly.
After the workers of the farm got off work that night, Xiao Ping plunged into the demon refining pot. There's a lot to do right now, and he's going to have to hurry.
The first thing to do, of course, is to harvest a crop of herbs first. Health oral liquid is the most important profit growth point at the moment, Xiao Ping naturally does not dare to be careless, he will never let the factory stop production, and maintaining the supply of raw materials is of course the top priority.
For Xiao Ping, harvesting the herbs in a few acres of herb garden is not a very difficult task. He quickly harvested all the herbs and brought spring water to water the whole garden. In this way, new herbs will grow in the herb garden tomorrow, and they will be harvested again as long as they wait for more than half a month.
As for these newly harvested herbs, they need to be collected separately according to different types, and then labeled separately and placed together with previously harvested herbs.
When Xiao Ping was in the United States, he had already harvested a batch of herbs, all of which he put in the hut. The herbs harvested in these two crops, plus the batch that Xiao Ping harvested before going abroad, were enough to keep the factory running for more than a month.
Xiao Ping moved all the herbs temporarily stored in the demon refining pot to the warehouse on the first floor of the villa, and planned to send them to the factory early tomorrow morning, which would also save Li Weiguo the trouble of honestly serving as raw materials.
After meeting Jessica in the United States this time, Xiao Ping knew that this health oral liquid also had a beauty effect. He had the urge to change the packaging of the oral liquid and then enter the skin care market. However, at present, the health oral liquid is selling too hot, and there are no extra herbs at all, and this plan to enter the skin care market can only be temporarily shelved.
"The production of spiritual fluid and herbs is the key." Looking at the not many medicinal materials in the warehouse, Xiao Ping couldn't help but think to himself in his heart: "It seems that the Demon Refining Pot must continue to evolve, only in this way can the output of spiritual liquid and herbs be increased." ”
However, it is not easy to evolve the Demon Refining Pot now, and it is necessary to have an incredible number of high-grade jade or large pieces of divine bones. And these two things are both encounterable but unwanted, so Xiao Ping also understands that this matter is not in a hurry, and it is more realistic to concentrate on preparing the tea seedlings first and planting them before the rainy season.
