The village chief of Chashan Village led the way, and everyone walked for about an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain. The mountain is not very tall, and it is even a little lower than the surrounding area. There are no tall trees on the mountain, only a few shrubs and tea trees.

"This is it." The village chief of Chashan Village said to everyone.

Chu Jiaqiang walked over and came to one of the tea trees, and found that it was the old Shili tea tree, which grew into a clump. This kind of tea is easy to identify, and Chu Jiaqiang naturally will not be mistaken.

The shape is flat and smooth, the shape resembles the leaf of cedar pine, it is rare to see, the color is green and green, the aroma is sharp, the taste is strong and fresh, the soup color is yellow and green and clear, and the bottom of the leaf is fat and tender.

"Not bad! It's exactly them. Chu Jiaqiang looked up and found that most of the trees on this mountain were this kind of ten-mile fragrant tea, and the preliminary estimate was that there would be no less than a thousand. Compared to the only 20 or so trees left outside, what is the concept of these thousands? Anyone with a bit of brains knows that the people of Chashan Village are going to get rich.

The village chief and others of Chashan Village suddenly turned red with excitement, and the tea trees looking at this mountain were like cash cows.

"Is there a way to this?" Chu Jiaqiang asked. It was found that the mountain was overgrown with all kinds of tall grass, and there was no road to follow. It can be seen that there are indeed few people here.

"Yes, it's small! Everybody come with me. A villager in Chashan Village hurriedly spoke.

He volunteered and immediately went ahead. After sparing the mountain for half a circle, everyone found a path that was only for two or three people to walk, or it was not a road, that is, the plants were slightly inclined to both sides to make way for a passage.

Chu Jiaqiang saw that there were a few cow footprints on the ground below, and he knew that this was a cow coming out. There is a lot of grass on this mountain. Some of them are scalpers who like to eat, and it is normal to go out of the way.

Anyone who has ever spared a cow knows that a cow is not very good-looking. I always like to step on dangerous ground, which makes people feel uneasy. As long as it sees the food it likes, even if it is in danger of falling off the cliff, it still does everything possible to eat it. The buffalo is different, it is much more honest, and it basically doesn't have to look much when it comes to the mountains.

Mayor Ye and other leaders frowned slightly, and reminded: "Organize everyone tomorrow." Get hands-on weeding and management. ”

You don't need them to remind you to see this scene. The village chief and the others already had a plan in their hearts. This mountain is the Freedom Mountain, and if it doesn't belong to anyone, then it is the public property of the village, and everyone has a share of the ten-mile fragrant tea on this mountain. Organize the villagers to come and work. And rightfully so.

Moreover, in their opinion, this mountain is already a treasure mountain, so naturally they will not let it continue to be abandoned. Just thinking about it, so many precious tea leaves were not collected, and they turned into spring mud every year, which made me extremely distressed.

"This nature, this nature!" The village chief nodded hurriedly.

"Don't be busy. Wait until the biologists come over. These plants grow under harsh conditions, and if you are not careful, you may destroy their living environment. It's easy to die. Chu Jiaqiang immediately said to them, signaling not to be impulsive, sometimes if you do bad things with good intentions, then you will really regret it so much that your intestines will be green.

When Mayor Ye and the others heard this, they also hurriedly changed their words, if they killed a batch, then they really had to write a review collectively.

Following Chu Jiaqiang's instructions, everyone began to drill all over the mountain, counting the number of ten-mile fragrant tea in the entire mountain. Everyone is very concerned about this issue, and the village chief has told him that he must check carefully and not miss a small seedling.

Despite the large number of people who came this time, it took more than an hour to finally count the number of 1,056 trees. Among them, there are more than 200 tea trees, which are nearly half of the age, but they are also decades old.

Standing on the mountain, the whole person has a feeling of relaxation and happiness, and the faint fragrance of tea is intoxicating.

"Excellent! As long as you take good care of these tea plants, you will definitely not be poor even if you don't do anything else. Secretary Chen said.

Chu Jiaqiang and the others saw Professor Wen and them slowly approaching, and a group of old men worked hard to walk over, I am afraid that Shili Xiangcha has this kind of charm.

"Huh! Elder Yang, they are here too? Chu Jiaqiang saw Yang Lao and other old Chinese medicine doctors in the middle of the team at a glance.

A group of old men came to the foot of the mountain, and when they saw the tea trees that fell on the side, it was indeed the ten-mile fragrant tea that was about to be extinct, and they were all excited.

At this time, not only the biologists are excited, but the people who have to take two sips of tea can't help but be happy when they see this mountain full of good tea.

"It's okay this time, don't worry about the twenty or so trees outside going extinct."

"So much, you can always get a little if you want to drink it in the future!"

……

There are so few of these teas, especially in recent years, that they are almost extinct. The only remaining 20 or so plants are afraid of death, who will pick leaves every day?

"It's going to be soon, there are still about two months to pick, and when the time comes, I'll come here in person, and I don't believe that I won't be able to divide a few taels." An old Chinese medicine doctor who loves tea said.

This kind of tea is relatively early, generally mined in the rainy season every year, and ends about 5 days before the Qingming Festival, and the spring tea produced is all pre-Ming tea. Many well-known green teas in other provinces can only be mined 5 to 10 days before the Qingming Festival, that is, after the spring tea of Shili Xiang Tea is harvested, the tea from other provinces has just begun to be mined. Of course, like other teas, these ten miles of fragrant tea are also picked in spring and autumn.

"This tea is good! Drank it a few times a long time ago. Another old man sighed.

Shili fragrant tea has a high freshness, and only picks one bud and two leaves, and the tenderness is high, so the stimulation of the oral tongue is weak when drinking, and it feels smooth and sweet.

"This tea is quite demanding, it is picked early, the harvest period is short, and it is also tender. It is mined during the rainy season every year, and the tea bunches are picked five to ten days before Qingming. The picking standard is one bud and one leaf and one bud and two leaves. Although Dean Ding is not specialized in plants, he still knows a little about this kind of tea tree that he is interested in.

Not only that, but the process of roasting tea is also much more delicate. The collected fresh leaves are thinly spread in a bamboo dustpan and spread for 3~5 hours to make it emit some moisture. Removes the smell of grass and makes it easy to stir-fry. The main process is divided into three processes: finishing, cooling and rejuvenation, and cooking pot. There are eight kinds of stir-frying techniques: shaking, grabbing, grabbing, buckling, pinching, pressing, pushing, and grinding. When frying, it can be flexibly changed according to the old and tender fresh leaves, the water content, and the degree of forming, depending on the situation.

In short, it's just a lot of trouble.

"This mountain is also listed as a protection unit!" A biologist suggested.

The village chief of Chashan Village and the others were anxious, this is listed as a protection unit, so isn't it their share? But they know that people are not allowed to enter any of the protected areas.

"This ...... This ...... "The village chief kind of regretted letting these biologists come over.

Chu Jiaqiang saw the worries of these people and said with a smile: "This is listed as a protection unit, which just means that the tea trees above should be protected and not allowed to be cut down, but the benefits obtained from normal picking are still yours." ”

Those biologists were also stunned, and then explained the matter clearly with a smile, which made the people of Chashan Village breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
