Chapter 140: Step from the Beginning

In the courtyard of Wang's Manor, several jasmine plants of unique quality are planted, and Wang Ziwei has been accustomed to them since she was a child, and she also deeply loves the rich fragrance of jasmine.

As she grew older, she also learned to cultivate and care for jasmine, and she also learned that jasmine is a small evergreen shrub or vine, and she is familiar with its habits.

At this time, Wang Ziwei was fertilizing and pruning jasmine, and saw that the jasmine branches were yellow-brown, and the young branches were thin and slightly vine-like. The leaves are opposite, oval, shiny on the surface and smooth on the edges.

She said, you see, jasmine is the apical of the umbrella inflorescence, often with 3 to 5 small flowers on the top of the branch or in the leaf axils, the flowers are as white as snow, some are single-petaled, and some are double-petaled.

Nong Tian sniffed the flower and said, this flower is served by you well! The green is beautiful, the flowers are fragrant, and you love it when you look at it.

Wang Ziwei said, this flower is the same as a person, you have to figure out the habits. This jasmine likes a warm, moist environment, the light should not be weak, and the sun should be sufficient.

Nong Tian smiled and said, "You only need to shade the sun properly in summer, and the wintering should not be lower than 3 °C."

Wang Ziwei said "mmmmmm" and said that Jasmine likes loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam. Just like people, you need to breathe, otherwise you will suffocate to death.

Her words made Nong Tianyi laugh, and then he said that Jasmine still likes fat.

Wang Ziwei said, but to control the amount of fertilizer, in order to prevent growth, resulting in a decrease in flowering, heavy fertilization may not bloom. Phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be applied from spring, which is conducive to the flowering of pregnant buds, and nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer after flowering. Increasing the application of phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer in autumn can improve the ability to resist cold in winter.

Nong Tian let out a series of "uh-huh".

Wang Ziwei said while watering that during the vigorous growth period, the soil should be kept moist, and when the weather is dry, it is necessary to pay attention to spraying water to moisturize, and in winter, it is necessary to control the water.

Since Wang Ziwei entered the farmhouse, she has carefully planted a few pots of excellent varieties of jasmine, she said, jasmine has a long flowering period, belongs to the fragrant tree species, planted in the courtyard to look comfortable, and can also drink a cup of jasmine tea.

Indeed, this jasmine tea has always had the reputation of "the supreme taste of jasmine and the first fragrance in the world"! It has a history of more than 1,000 years.

So, now the question arises again, what is the reason why jasmine tea is one of the top ten famous teas in China?

To make a long story, it is said that jasmine was considered a symbol of jade bones and ice muscles and indifference to fame and fortune in the Tang Dynasty. It is believed that as long as the jasmine comes out, the flowers are not fragrant, and since then the jasmine has become the "heavenly fragrance", and Bodhi can be used as a sacred object of Buddhism, which is quite noble.

In the Qing Dynasty, Cixi hung the curtain to listen to the government. When the Empress Dowager Cixi was more partial to jasmine, when foreign envoys brought their wives to China, the Empress Dowager Cixi often gave them jasmine tea as a gift, so during the decades when the Empress Dowager Cixi was in power, jasmine was once considered the "national flower", and jasmine tea became the "national tea".

Of course, jasmine tea is also known as "repaying kindness tea". There is also a beautiful legend about jasmine tea.

Legend has it that Chen Guqiu, a tea merchant, was very fond of the same tea master to study what tea the northerners liked to drink, and they often sat together and discussed while drinking tea. One day, Chen Guqiu suddenly remembered that a southern girl once gave him a bag of tea leaves, but he had never tasted them, so he found this bag of tea leaves and asked the master to taste them.

When brewing, as soon as the lid of this bowl was opened, first it was fragrant, and then in the rising heat, I actually saw a young and beautiful girl, holding a bouquet of jasmine flowers in both hands, and after a while, it turned into a ball of heat. At this time, Chen Guqiu was very puzzled in his heart, so he asked the master, and the master said: "This tea is the best 'retribution tea' in tea."

Chen Guqiu suddenly realized that he remembered the experience of meeting a lonely girl when he went to the southern part of the country to buy tea three years ago.

The girl complained that her father's body was parked in her home, and that she had no money to bury her. Chen Guqiu was deeply sympathetic, so he took some silver and gave it to her.

Three years passed, and when Chen Guqiu went to the south again, the innkeeper handed him this small bag of tea, saying that it was delivered by the girl he had helped three years ago.

At this time, Chen Guqiu wanted to find the girl, but learned that the girl was no longer alive.

Who would have thought that because there was no brewing at the time, only to find out that this small bag of tea is actually a treasure!

Chen Guqiu's doubts arose again, so why was she holding the jasmine alone?

So, in order to solve the mystery that was entangled in their hearts, the two brewed it again, and the girl with the jasmine in her hand appeared again.

can't be wrong, Chen Guqiu realized while tasting tea: "In my opinion, this is a hint from the tea fairy, jasmine can be used in tea." ”

In the following years, Chen Guqiu liked to add jasmine to the tea every time he made tea, and he could make fragrant and attractive jasmine tea every time.

I saw that the jasmine tea soup was yellow-green and bright, the bottom of the leaves was tender and soft, and the aroma was refreshing, and the taste was mellow and fresh.

Needless to say, Chen Guqiu sighed with emotion, this color and fragrance is clearly the nectar of flowers, and there are immortals in the sky! Therefore, it is deeply loved by northerners!

Since then, a new type of tea has been born - jasmine tea, and it has become one of the top ten famous teas in China.

This also gave Nong Tianyi great encouragement and confidence.

Since then, he has secretly determined that he must make the top jasmine tea of "Sanjitang"!

In his mind, from time to time, the green color of jasmine tea appears, like a fairy singing and dancing, with the farmer's excellent green tea as the tea base, the cup of Zhongshan Ye seems to bloom white as white as snow, spread all over the mountain valley, brewing room, floating in the cup of the sea, curling flowers, fragrant......

Therefore, Nong Tianyi discussed with his father and mother to transform the low slope field near the foot of Tianxinyan Mountain into a jasmine garden, named "Sanjitang Jasmine Tea Garden". Immediately, he transformed several idle wooden houses where the original Danxia family lived into a jasmine tea processing workshop.

Nong Tianyi said that here, first, the geographical location is good, green tea and jasmine are near Tianxin Rock, which is convenient for tea and jasmine to be processed directly after picking; the second is to break through the original tea varieties and have a new economic growth point; The third is to make full use of existing resources for reasonable integration, which saves costs. It's a lot of work.

His father and his mother are very praised! His wife Wang Ziwei boasted, you are very good at doing things.

And Nong Tianyi feels that this is his own responsibility, but also a vocation! It must be done, it must be done well, this is something that has no way back.

Nong Tianyi was not weak and angry, but he and Bai Longjie led a few helpers to work quickly, and it took a few days to complete the transformation. At first glance, Nong Tianyi was very satisfied.

When it comes to the jasmine picking season, Nong Tianyi does it himself, from the head flower to the head fragrance, from the kiln to the process arrangement, and carefully does every link, just like talking about a vigorous love......
