Chapter 132: Tea Picking (I)
"Beauties! It's time to get up! Guan Wa knocked on the door and said.
"Doll, you say, will they have already gone out?" Yu'er guessed.
"Probably not, right? It's still early! Guan Wa frowned and said, Besides, they are not familiar with this place, so they shouldn't be able to run around.
Just as they were wondering, the door opened.
"Huh? Are you two awake? ”
It was Le Yao who was wearing pink pajamas who came to open the door, and she still looked sleepy-eyed.
"Haven't you gotten up yet?" Guan Wa asked, "Are you used to sleeping?" ”
Le Yao nodded and said, "Fortunately, Mantong and I don't have the habit of recognizing the bed." ”
"Huh! Then you are much stronger than Yu'er. Guan Wa glanced at her friend next to her with a smile and said.
I thought that at the beginning, Yu'er came to their house for the first time, but the result was that she couldn't sleep lying on the bed at night, and then she asked and found out: This girl recognizes the bed!
didn't want to see her friends make fun of her, so Yu'er hurriedly changed the topic.
"What about Mantong? Why didn't you see her? ”
"She's washing......"
Before the words fell, Mantong, who had finished washing, walked to the door.
"Why are you two up so early?"
It's finally been a holiday to sleep, and now it's only half past six, what does it mean that they are all together?
"Originally, I wanted to take you to the back mountains for a walk, it seems ......"
Before she finished her words, Le Yao and Mantong hurriedly held her hand.
"What do you say? Going to the back mountain? Are you going to climb a mountain? Mantong asked.
Guan Wa shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly, and said, "I see that you haven't woken up yet, why don't I go with Yu'er today and take you tomorrow?" ”
"Huh? How's that going to work? ”
Man Tong and Le Yao looked at each other, then pulled the two of them into the room and closed the door.
"Just give us 10 minutes!"
With that, the two of them went their separate ways, leaving Guan Wa and Yu'er with a smile.
"Doll, your trick really works!" Yu'er praised that people always have a high interest in things they haven't done.
"That's the same when you first came to my house!" She complained unceremoniously.
"Haha!"
Yu'er stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and laughed dryly. After a while, Le Yao and Man Tong were already standing in front of them neatly dressed.
"We're all right, shall we go?" Le Yao couldn't wait to ask. This is her first time picking tea, and the excitement in her heart is naturally not a problem.
"Let's go down to eat first, and then I'll teach you how to pick it."
When the four of them arrived in the living room, they found that the father and mother had already gotten up.
"Huh? Why did you get up so early? Sleeping comfortably? Father Guan asked.
"No, uncle, we want to go with the doll to pick tea." Le Yao answered.
"Tea picking?"
The father turned his gaze to his daughter suspiciously.
"Dad, I told them this morning that I could go to the back mountain to pick tea, and they were very happy!"
"Tea picking is not an easy task, are you all mentally prepared?" Father Guan asked. Look at them all like a daughter, they haven't done this job before, right?
"Uncle, we can learn." Mantong hurriedly replied, for fear that his father would object.
"Okay, in that case, then I'll accompany you to pick tea in the morning." Father Guan smiled.
"Dad, no need, you better rest at home! I'll just take them there. Guan Wa said with a smile.
Maybe he also thinks that their young people will have more to say when they are together, so the housekeeper no longer insists.
"Then you have to be careful when you go up the mountain, don't fall, I'll look for you later." He admonished.
"Huh! Uncle, don't worry, we won't be so inferior! Yu'er said confidently.
Listening to her words, the other three were silent, because, the more they said that, the more dangerous it became......
"Yu'er, be careful!"
If it weren't for Mantong's quick reaction to step forward to support Yu'er, she would really have to dedicate her hug to the lush nature in front of her.
"Wow! It's dangerous......" Yu'er patted her chest and sighed.
"Alas! I know you're stupid, but I don't know you're stupid to this extent. Guan Wa said with a sigh.
They all brought bamboo baskets and tea-picking pots, so they were extra careful on the road.
"Doll, is it difficult to pick tea?" Le Yao asked.
Guan Wa thought for a while and said, "It's definitely not easy to pick for the first time, and you can master the trick after practicing a few more times." ”
"To be honest, I'm quite scared of dealing with knives, if I scratch myself, I can't scratch it!" Yu'er said with a relative.
"If you're really afraid of getting hurt, just use your hands later." Guan Wa proposed.
"Well, I agree with the doll's statement, Yu'er is not careful enough, so let's learn some basics, right?" Le Yao seconded.
"You're taking good care of me." Yu'er pouted and said, don't her friends just dislike her for being stupid? It's so high-sounding.
"Huh! We're also thinking about your safety! It's hard to come out and play once, and it's best not to see red. Mantong said with a smile.
In a short time, they were already on the tea terraces, where many people were already picking and busy.
"That terraced field over there is my family." Guan Wa pointed to a green space not far away and said.
"Let's go!"
As soon as they saw that their destination was almost there, it was obvious that everyone was getting excited. Especially Le Yao and Man Tong, who seem to be eager to show their skills.
"Hand picking is actually quite simple, although it is a little slow, but it is not tight, anyway, it is not in a hurry."
Guan Wa demonstrated to everyone while talking, only to see her pinch the tip of the tea from the head, then put it in the bamboo basket, and then go to pick another piece.
"Hey, doll, how do you use this tea picker?" Man Tong shook the tools in his hand and asked.
"Oh, this one, it's good to use it this way."
She took the tea picking pot in her friend's hand, and then quickly cut the picking, without the slightest hesitation, and the part of the tea cutting happened to leave 1 leaf to cut and pick.
"Doll, why do you want to cut it at this distance?" Le Yao observed and asked.
"In this way, the cut tea leaves will not affect the quality and the growth of the tea tree!" Guan Wa replied with a smile.
I see......
The three of them nodded understandingly, never expecting that the seemingly simple tea picking work should also pay attention to care and methods.
"Come, you have a taste!"
Guan Wa handed the cut tea leaves to her friends and a small slice of each, and stuffed a piece into her mouth.
"Is this all you eat?" Mantong asked.
Guan Wa nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely delicious!" ”
With Guan Wa's demonstration, Le Yao first put the tea in her mouth, and a fragrant and refreshing feeling instantly spread in her mouth, and when she swallowed it, the slightly bitter cool feeling spread out all over her mouth, as if the whole body and mind became happy.
"It tastes awesome!" Le Yao praised.
It's amazing how just a small piece of it can give people such a great feeling! It seems that they have come to the right place on this tea picking trip!
Mantong and Yu'er glanced at each other, and then chewed the tea leaves, and their expressions changed from initial apprehension to later shock, and then to final joy.
"Oh my God! It smells so good! Mantong nodded in praise.
Originally, it was already a pleasure to come to the tea terraces and smell the fragrance of tea, but now they can taste such a delicacy, it is really in vain for them to get up early!
"How? I didn't lie to you, did I? Guan Wa has faded away from her previous indifference, and said with a smug face.
"Doll, I envy you so close to nature!" Le Yao said enviously.
"Huh! If you like it, just stay with me. Guan Wa smiled.
Actually, I want to know that this is impossible, because the Yan family, especially Yan Bin, will definitely not agree.
"Good! If I am homeless in the future, you must remember to take me in! She hugged her friend and pretended to be pitiful.
"Haha! You two don't play tricks, hurry up and get to work! Mantong interrupted the intimacy between friends and said.
"There are only two tea-picking pots here, who will use them?" Yu'er asked.
"Simply, Xiao Yao and Yu'er pick it by hand, and Mantong and I use tea picking, right?" Guan Wa looked at the tool and said.
"Yes, yes! I love hand-picking! ”
Yu'er was the first to cheer, and she almost jumped up.
“OK! According to what the boss said, let's play between the two teams to see who picks fast, how? Le Yao asked provocatively.
"Tsk! Race is game! Will we lose to you with the tools? ”
Mantong boldly took the "battle post".
"I didn't say it was two teams with tools! Why, it has to be a 'gang of one', right? Le Yao blinked and smiled.
"It's okay, I'm on a team with Yu'er, and you two are on a team." Guan Wa thought about it and said.
"Haha! It's funny, and the two choked ones were put on a team. Yu'er chuckled.
"Okay, the losing team has to do something for the winning team!" Le Yao chuckled and made a bet.
"No problem, it's half past seven, it's limited to 1 hour, how about it?"
Guan Wa's fighting spirit was also aroused, she didn't believe that she would lose to a newcomer who had just started learning.
"Let's get started!"
Before the words fell, the two teams had already begun to compete......
