Chapter 268: Planting the Big Red Robe

"Oh, this is the big red robe? So small—" Li leisurely bent down and picked out a clump of tea saplings from the cardboard box, which was pruned very short, thin branches, each with a few oval leaves. The leaves are not small, and they should be regarded as medium-leaf tea trees.

The root system of the tea tree is relatively developed, and the water retention treatment is done with a wet sponge. But after all, it has been bumpy on the road for a long time, and the overall look is a little sluggish.

Li Youran was a little confused, the thunderous red robe was such an inconspicuous appearance? In his imagination, even a small tea sapling should be a thicker trunk, and the one in front of him seems to be not as energetic as the Longjing tea sapling he bought before.

"Hehe, don't underestimate these tea seedlings, this is the third generation of the authentic Nine Dragons Mother Tree. The real big red robe is a shrub-type plant, which is limited in size. Even the thousand-year-old mother trees in Wuyi Mountain are actually not very tall. It's not the tall tree type of Yunnan Pu'er ancient tea. Liu Senjiang explained.

Li Youran was relieved, if it weren't for Chef Liu, he had always thought that the big red robe mother tree with such a majestic name should be like those towering ancient trees in the park, and the two of them couldn't hug it.

"I heard that there are many tourists who come all the way to Wuyi Mountain for sightseeing, and they are very disappointed when they see the Jiulong Mother Tree." Chef Liu mentioned the rumors he heard from a friend that the tea tree itself is not very ornamental.

"I asked a few old friends to find it. The second generation can not get their hands, it was the early eighties, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences from the Jiulong Cave cut the branches of the Da Hong Pao mother tree and brought it back for cuttings, the vegetative breeding was successful, that batch of tea seedlings was the second generation, and later returned to the Wuyi Mountain area to plant, and then in 2006, the Wuyi Municipal Government made a decision to stop picking and retaining the mother tree of Jiulong Cave, so that even the second generation of tea trees have become treasures According to my understanding, many tea gardens with the name of Da Hong Pao, the mother of the tea trees planted in them is actually not from Jiulong Cave, It's rock tea from other parts of Wuyi Mountain. For the sake of economic interests, the local government has also relaxed the conditions for Dahongpao tea. Liu Senjiang continued to introduce the origin of this batch of tea seedlings.

"It's complicated. Master Liu, as far as you know, how much difference can this vegetatively reproduced tree be from the mother tree? Li Youran was a little dizzy when he heard it, so he asked the question he was most concerned about.

"I'm not an expert in this area, and I haven't drunk the big red robe produced by the native mother tree, so it's not as good as Lao Chen. However, I just heard from others that the asexual reproduction of Dahongpao tea tree, the female traits are still very complete and stable. Liu Senjiang shook his head and said.

Not to mention complete, as long as the traits of the second and third generations of seedlings can be retained, most of them can be retained. However, according to common sense, the reason why the mother trees of the Nine Dragons are talked about by people should be due to the unique growth environment in which they are located, the pollution-free and protected famous mountain cliffs, the spring water containing various minerals seeping out of the rock crevices, the suitable air humidity, and a variety of factors together nourish the best Dahongpao tea, or in layman's terms, the ancient trees absorb the aura of heaven and earth all year round, and they are naturally extraordinary. As for the later transplanted tea trees, the growth environment was much worse. This should be the biggest factor that causes the difference in tea quality. Li Youran thought in his heart.

"Master Liu, thank you then. How much did it cost to buy these seedlings, you go to the finance and ask for a form to fill in, and I can be reimbursed after signing. He said to Chef Liu.

"Hey, these are three generations of seedlings, in fact, the price is not expensive. The reimbursement will be waived, and when the time comes, I will be satisfied with making good tea so that my old Liu can drink it from time to time. I'm really looking forward to this tea-scented rock rhyme. Chef Liu waved his hand and declined Boss Li's proposal. …,

People like him, who work in the kitchen full-time, smoke all day long, passively inhaled a lot of harmful substances, and later found that after drinking some catechu, the body feels very comfortable, can eliminate a lot of smoke and dryness in the body, and slowly develop a habit.

And people's tastes are more and more raised, since I tasted the Cuifeng green tea made by Lao Chen, it is really much worse to drink anything else. So this time, he is very concerned about the matter of Da Hong Pao, and he is also looking forward to what miracle can happen when the Da Hong Pao tea sapling is in the hands of the master who cultivated Cuifeng?

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I'm welcome. By the way, Master Liu, I have something here, you can bring it back to Lao Chen by the way. Li said with a smile.

He turned around and came to the back of the sofa, which was Chef Liu's visual blind spot, bent down to make a gesture of holding something, and took out a basket of Cuifeng fresh leaves from the space, which was picked the day before yesterday and had not had time to deal with it.

"Cuifeng fresh leaves that my friend just sent in the morning, hurry up and let Lao Chen continue to make tea." Li Youran handed the bamboo basket to Liu Senjiang.

"It's so beautiful tea green, clear and green, and the fragrance lingers. Okay, I'll go to him right away, I can't be lazy if I want to. Liu Senjiang looked at the fresh leaves in the basket, his face was happy, and he couldn't help but praise two sentences, and now there is new tea to drink.

He handed the bamboo basket to the guy, and then said goodbye to Boss Xiao Li and went out.

Hehe, Chef Liu is also a man of temperament. Li Youran smiled and shook his head, then cleaned up the two cardboard boxes on the ground, disinfected the tea saplings, and put them all into the space. The remaining empty boxes are tossed outside the office door, and someone will naturally pick them up when the time comes.

Da Hong Pao belongs to the category of oolong tea in green tea, which is a semi-fermented variety, which is very different from the taste style of green tea to which Cui Feng belongs.

Without further ado, the tea trees had to be planted as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Youran said hello to Director Gu of the finance room, and then went back to the bedroom to lock the door and enter the space.

The No. 3 plot of space has transplanted fruit tree seedlings some time ago, freeing up a lot of space, and then cuttings Cuifeng tea seedlings have taken up some of them. In addition, the ginseng seedlings also accounted for a piece, and now there are probably four points of land left.

In fact, the two cardboard boxes look quite large, and the big red robes contained in them are dozens of plants.

He put the new tea seedlings into the stream water to brew, and then spent more than an hour planting them one by one into the predetermined location. Let Aung Aung pour water.

In the rest of the free space of No. 3 land, after a while the tea trees have grown, if there is no problem, they can continue to be cut and propagated.

The yield of tea is usually relatively low, even if the acceleration of space growth is added, the planting area of less than one acre of land can not actually produce much, and there are many people who like to drink tea around, and there are only a few taels left for seven and eight to give. Commercialization, such as the supply of private restaurants, is impossible to talk about, and it seems that it can only be used as an object for exchanging feelings for the time being.

Transplanting after successful cultivation? Thinking of this, Li Youran shook his head again.

The environmental requirements of tea trees far exceed those of Chinese cabbage and radish, as evidenced by the gap between the Dahongpao mother tree and the bulk production of various tea gardens in Wuyi Mountain. It is understood that even many mid-grade tea raw materials on the market are planted in the southern mountainous areas with no industrial pollution and a warm climate.

In view of this, if you take it outside to plant, even if you water the space stream water as usual, I am afraid it will not be able to reach the high-grade standard. What's more, Chinese cabbage and radish are mainly used to make bun filling, which is facing ordinary consumers, while he is only interested in tea.

Forget it, let's keep it as it is.
