In his spare time, Wu Qing likes to go to the landscape pool in the backyard of the tea house, strolling around, smelling the flowers, looking at the trees, looking at the fish, and a clear shallow water, which can also be affectionate, so comfortable.

When they rented the storefront, the backyard pool and its surroundings were abandoned and deserted. Wu Qing felt that it was a pity, so he wanted to use it. So, Wu Qing explained that if he had time in the farm, he would get it and build a small garden, wouldn't it have fun and vitality?

Nonglu thought it was a good idea. He was a good hand at doing things, and as soon as he was free, he was busy in the yard, and soon he laid bricks and stones by the pool, and he picked strange stones from the mountains, built rockeries, cultivated soil, and planted microscopic plants and flowers, and slowly, the water in the pond became clear, and then some small fish were stocked, and it became what it is now.

Today, Wu Qing took a break and went to the pool to play around, although the pool is small, it can make her get a peace in her busy time. Every time she is next to the pool, all kinds of flowers and grass on the bank of the pool reflect in the pool, the wind rises, the pool water is slight, and the ripples are overflowing, her heart will ripple with joy, add fun, and be at ease.

With the cycle of the seasons, Wu Qing seems to return to the middle of summer for a while, with the noise of cicadas and insects in her ears, and her eyes are full of green.

In an instant, it seems to be cold winter, and the trees in the yard have a sense of sluggishness, and the branches are unusually strong in winter, giving people a kind of strength.

In the heavy snowfall, a few plum blossoms are charming, and she will light a fire in the wide stove room, in the middle is an iron hanging pot, using the common sense of physics, no matter how many things can be lifted and lowered freely, this hanging pot is quite beautiful. She and Nonglu have always been accustomed to the living customs of mountain people.

She sometimes took down the hanging pot, or cooked rice and porridge, or put some green bread grain, or boiled some turmeric in winter and spring, and the upper part of the hanging pot was hidden, where the pork, enema, muntjac meat, and dried tofu were smoked, and so on.

There is a large copper drinking pot hanging on it, and the craftsman makes it quite artistically. The upper half is slightly thinner, and the lower half is slightly thicker, giving it a sense of stability.

There is a circle of water filling at the top of the hanging pot, and the lid has a unique shape, from both sides of the trapezoidal ring after ring to the top, and then a copper chain is connected to the pot system. It shows the fineness of the craftsman's workmanship.

The spout is streamlined, making it a treat when pouring water. There is boiling water to make tea at any time, and the farmer sometimes dozes off by the fire, and the big drinking pot is like a lullaby, humming softly and happily.

Especially in the middle of winter, the family sits around the fire, which feels really comfortable, and the whole body and mind of the person relaxes. These gave her a different touch.

Wu Qing told Nonglu that although the pool is small, the world is large, and the four seasons are reincarnated, spring comes and goes, autumn harvest and winter storage.

Nonglu said, as long as the lady is happy!

Mu Sheng is spring. When the rain passes, it is a sting; Once the sting passes, all things are born. Everything began to grow and burst out in the spring breeze. Tea trees, of course, are no exception.

At this time, the farmer is about to start picking tea.

On the tea mountain, the greenery of the mountain beams is constantly growing, and the agarwood of tea is constantly gushing out. If you face such a tall ancient tea tree, you will also catch a star shining with new green, and those green elves will jump and flutter lightly on the canopy. The season of tea picking comes in the spring breeze.

Every branch and leaf is always about love, and this is a moment that makes people intoxicated. This belongs to tea, to tea people, and to those who can love it, have a habit of it, and have a deep affection for tea.

On the day of the opening of the park, Tianxin Rock is the busiest and most lively. Men and women all hold baskets and pick and rotate and return without delay, so that they can be fried.

Tea picking is not an easy task, but the action of tea picking has a different lightness. The fingertips flying on the tea tree always make people feel as cheerful as a bird, and like ancient music plucking the heartstrings, flowing among the leaves, moving in the tea forest, as if dancing with a group of emerald green fairies, in the air, in the forest, dancing an elegant posture.

This is the expectation of a year's hard work, and it is also the desire to reach life in the fragrance overflowing.

Nonglu has its own set of management methods for tea picking.

According to the specific situation of the tea plant, he divided the picking method into four types:

The first is "guarding mining", that is, guarding under the tree. He was afraid that the tea pickers would change the material, and he was afraid that they would not pick the right way, one bud and one leaf, two leaves, and three leaves, but it must not be four leaves, let alone break the branches.

The second is "single picking", that is, only one tree is picked, so that one tree and one product are achieved.

The third is "mixed mining", that is, mixed mining of large and small trees.

The fourth is "picking", that is, separating the size of the tree, and even picking a special kind of tea picking.

In short, the farm is very picky about fresh leaves. Because this is the only way to ensure that the quality of the tea is excellent.

After picking tea, it is natural to make tea. There are several kinds of ancient methods of making tea: steaming, kneading and roasting. Thereinto:

Steaming method: use stream water, store the grass in the retort, when it does not move, take it out, and knead it on the bamboo stick. Its water is frequently steamed, and the color is green for a long time, and the fragrance is not good.

Kneading method: three people stand in a formation, people guard an urn, add bamboo on it, knead it lightly with your hands, and the juice drops in the urn. The leaves are soft before they can be baked.

Roasting method: to make soil, can be five or six feet, two or three feet high, under the coal, on the horizontal bamboo several layers, the second tea. The latecomers are below, the fire is permeable, and the mist is like non-smoke, such as Qingyun, then the tea is successful.

The same bamboo sticks, the same light kneading, the same fireworks. There are many derogations in the process of tea making, and only by being immersed in the scene, can we experience the unique sense of ritual in the tea making process - solemn and clear, otherwise, where will there be a thousand years of tea culture surging endlessly.

In addition to other teas, the best thing in the farmhouse at this time is the piece of tea. When picking, take the second and third layers to use, the old will increase the fragrance, and the tender will enhance the taste; The color is yellowish and unusual.

Tea making is hard. From tea picking to tea making, the more you think about it, the more you feel like climbing a mountain to explore the secluded.

Sometimes, he would climb the mountain against the current, and at the end the stream disappeared. One possibility is that the place is the birthplace of mountain springs, hidden under the earth's surface; Another possibility is that after the rains, the water that collects here breaks off and dries up.

At this time, the farm house walked and walked, until the water was gone, so he simply sat down, and looked up to see the clouds rising on the mountain. It turns out that the water has become a cloud, and the cloud can turn into rain again, and then there will be rain again in the valley, so why despair. This is exactly what "when you go to the water and sit and watch the clouds rise".

This is true for tea making, and so is the realm of life. Even if there is no way out, look to the sky! You don't feel like you're at the end of your rope.

Sitting alone in the mountains, the farm has such an experience, and always feels that there is a cup of yellow tea shaking in front of you: it is apricot yellow in color, clear as a spring, slightly fermented, and the taste is refreshing and mellow. He wanted to take a sip as if he were savoring the beauty of the mountains in front of him.

Nonglu once said that life is like three teas: the first is bitter as life; the second way, sweet like love; The third is as light as a breeze. "And its spiritual taste, there is no past, and there is no present after it."

In fact, as far as his tea theory is concerned, he said with deep feeling that he still needs to drink it while the time comes, and the new fire and new tea can get the real taste.

Nonglu believes that at the moment, tea drinkers prefer loose tea, without him, you can see the color of paleness and stretch posture.

Between the green of the big leaves, the drinking thing is also the same as the hidden thing, and the drinker is a hermit. Tea is character, tea is personnel, tea, people, things are blended with each other, things and Tao penetrate each other, this tea is fragrant for thousands of years, trekking thousands of miles, into thousands of households.

Even if it is thousands of miles away, that bright moon is always a common one; And this Chudi Jingshan tea is fragrant, so is it.

In the final analysis, Nonglu has always believed that the whole meaning of making tea is to drink its spirit and prolong life.
