Chapter Twenty-Eight: Boy's Tea (2)

It seems that the Yang family teaches the disciples with foreign surnames to pass on the two secret children's skills, not only does it require them to pick "Tongzi tea", but they also have good intentions!

Because everyone's enthusiasm for practicing is undiminished, perhaps because they are all real children, the effect of practicing children's skills is surprisingly good!

Those disciples with high martial arts talent were already unstoppable, and they had already inquired about Yang Dajian alone, and made up their minds that they wanted to enter the Yang family as soon as possible.

On the sixth day, Yang Dajian took his disciples to a sunny col and prepared to start picking tea leaves.

Before mining, Yang Dajian personally made a demonstration, requiring the inner style of transporting Tong Zigong to "penetrate the qi in the ear", which is the preparation before picking tea, and the outer style of "sitting on the horse" is the method of picking tea.

Although these disciples' Qi refining skills are not at home, because they have opened up the meridians of the ears and eyes, they are naturally smart with ears and eyes.

Therefore, what kind of leaves to pick, you don't need to think about it at all, after cultivating "through the ears", you can naturally easily find the right tea, it can be said that "follow the feeling", and it is better to have dark tea and thick leaves!

The origin of the name "Tongzi Tea" is, of course, related to "Tongzi Gong", but it is not the only meaning. There are also three meanings:

First, the tea tree that picks the child's tea is a young tree that has bloomed, and its age is equivalent to that of a human child!

It's also strange to say, this kind of tea used to refine Tongzi tea really can't be adulterated, once the tea tree blooms, the tea can't be refined successfully!

Second, the fertilizer used to water the tea trees is the urine of children.

The Yang family is also quite helpless about this kind of cultivation, in order to save trouble, they have also tried not to water with children's urine, the growth of tea trees has no effect, but the second year actually bloomed, and the tea is naturally not suitable!

Third, the person who picks the tea must be a healthy boy under the age of twelve, and he must practice the two types of child gong.

This is also proved through practice, once the age is over 12 years old, even if you are still a virgin, the tea picked is still not suitable!

The time of picking Tongzi tea is more important, it must be after the winter solstice, so it uses winter tablets, according to Yang Dajian, mainly because of the "winter treasure"!

It is also because the autumn wind has swept away the fallen leaves, and the remaining leaves are thick and dark leaves that are "hidden essence and not diarrhea", which is the reserve of the tea tree for winter, and the energy in it is sufficient, so it is used as the raw material of Tongzi tea.

Of course, some people think that spring is a newborn tea, which should be more in line with the meaning of a child, and it has also been picked in spring, but whether it is an old leaf or a new sprout, it cannot be successfully refined!

Because the energy of the old leaves has been exhausted, and the energy of the new shoots has not yet been formed, they cannot be regarded as children at all, at best they can only be regarded as babies.

There are also people who use Chunjian to refine "baby tea", but in addition to some help for children's digestive function, it is not of great benefit to practicing Tongzigong!

After He Yu came to this tea forest, he immediately felt that the aura here was very strong! The tea trees in the col grow on the slopes of the north and south, and the number is not very large, probably only a few thousand.

The tea tree is only half a person tall, and they have more than 30 boys, although they are not very tall, but it is not difficult to pick, and each tea tree almost takes a cup of tea.

Three days later, all the tea trees here have been harvested! After handing over the fruits of labor, they all got a certain reward, He Yu behaved decently, picked no more tea leaves, and also got a reward of 30 yuan!

Even if this training and labor were successfully completed, Yang Dajian did not treat them badly that night, and gave them a sumptuous dinner! Everyone returned to the school hall of the Yang family clan overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, the school was in class as usual, He Yu returned to normal life and study, and in a blink of an eye, another month passed, and seeing that the New Year was getting closer and closer, He Yu was also very much looking forward to it.

At noon that day, He Yu was sleeping in the school house after lunch, when his father suddenly came in, which surprised him very much, because today was not the day to catch the market.

It turned out that his father didn't come to see him by the way this time, but asked Mr. Wu for leave to take He Yu home in advance, saying that it was his new sister-in-law who was about to pass through the door!

He Yu led his father and found Mr. Wu's dormitory, after his father saw Mr. Wu, he seemed a little nervous, and his speech became not fluent, and he finally explained the intention of asking He Yu for leave.

Mr. Wu glanced up at the yellow calendar, there was less than a month left before the Chinese New Year, and He Yu's study had nothing to worry about, so he said very simply:

"It's about to be the New Year, and the Yang Family Sect will have a holiday for the New Year in a short time, He Yu, you should study a little bit yourself, don't come back to the Yang Family Sect to take classes, and after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the middle month, come back to class."

After all, he is still a child, although it is not a burden to go to class, He Yu was so happy to see that he could go home and play freely, and after returning to the dormitory, he quickly made the bed, closed the doors and windows and followed his father home.

……

He Yu's eldest brother is called He Qing, he is just eighteen years old this year, he has studied in private school for several years, and his academic performance is very good!

He Qing was about to learn to write imperial examination articles and recite poems, and the cost had almost doubled.

He Qing's parents asked the old gentleman in the private school for advice. The old gentleman told He Qing's parents that according to He Qing's qualifications, it was a bit difficult to take the test for Xiucai, but there was no problem in taking the test for children!

I heard that my son could only be admitted to Tongsheng, He Qing's parents let their son drop out of school without saying a word! Because Tong Sheng actually only has the qualifications to take the Xiucai exam, it is not considered fame at all.

In the eyes of the people in the mountains, Tong Sheng can only be a teacher, basically can't find a job, and his status is slightly higher, and he is useless in addition, and he belongs to the useless people who "can't write or write, and can't do martial arts"!

The reason why He Qing dropped out of school, of course, was not only the problem of tuition, but mainly because his third uncle found an opportunity for him to learn the craft of making pots in the city!

In the eyes of the mountain people, there is a craft to support a family, which is more attractive than studying to gain fame!

Because it is too difficult to succeed in the imperial examination, it is only the rich who can afford it, and the poor are too unrealistic!

In the history of Da Shui Dong, not only has there been no show of talent, but even children are very rare!

Once someone has a child who is admitted to Xiucai, it is described as a good thing of "green smoke from the ancestral tomb mountain", and the difficulty is quite large!

The people who are in the middle and in the jinshi, that is, the stars in the sky descend to earth, they will choose to accumulate virtue and do good deeds to reincarnate in rich and noble families, which is not something that ordinary people can raise!
