Chapter Thirty-Six: A Quiet Honeymoon Calls for the Construction of a Tea Township
Three days of wedding, three days of celebration, the customs of the township.
The Hao family of Hao Jiapo is the master, and the embodiment of honor and disgrace in the family spirit.
The Hao family is busy in Baicao Medical Hall, and they are hospitable to new and old relatives, and the relatives who sent Caixia on Baiyu Village are naturally guests. Solidarity is also a kind of survival rule, especially in this sparsely populated ancient village. When you become a relative, you have to understand, if you have things, you have to help each other, and if you have glory, you have to share. Three days is an opportunity to get to know each other, the men and women of the Hao family are naturally endless words to the seven aunts and eight aunts of Baiyu Village, the exchange makes the relatives gradually familiar, a good girl marries a good husband, a good man climbs a good relative, this is exactly what everyone expects.
The uncles and cousins in the Peng family's compound, who were old relatives, had already become a solid ally of Hao Jiapo, and of course they supported Chuantao's marriage.
Chuantao Caixia, the newlywed couple, as long as they attend the public occasion every day, no one disturbs other things, there is no big trouble here, they all think that the cave house is the exclusive territory of the husband and wife, and it cannot be violated. Everyone is maintaining the couple's private space during their honeymoon without interference. The two of them also fell quietly and happily close......
Many friends of the patients who were cured by Chuantao also came to congratulate them with gratitude, but they definitely returned on the same day and did not stay long. Occasionally, those who seek medical advice will also be disposed of in a timely manner, which will not affect the wedding atmosphere.
After three days, the relatives returned home, the owner returned home, and the Baicao Medical Hall returned to its former tranquility. Just wait for ten days later, and bring Caixia back to the door to save relatives.
……
Caixia returned from the province, and went to her mother-in-law's house to help whenever she was free, and she laughed happily at Peng's heart, but she didn't care about some trivial matters, but what was valuable was that there were often people who accompanied her to chatter, and the feelings of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stronger than that of mother and son.
Peach blossoms bloom in March.
At the same time, there are countless cherry blossoms blooming all over the mountain, clusters, clusters, and pink purple peach blossoms in front of the house and behind the house, which is beautiful.
When thousands of trees compete for spring, the tea planted by Hao Chuantao has already stood out and is verdant.
Caixia told Chuantao about this discovery, and Chuantao jumped up with joy: "Ha, tomorrow morning, we will go to pick tea." ”
Early the next morning, Chuantao hastily ended his morning exercise, pulled a big bowl of egg noodles brought by Caixia in three or two times, and pulled Caixia to climb up the slope of the old house.
There were tiny beads of sweat hanging on the tip of Chuantao's nose, Caixia was still gasping for breath, and the two of them stood on the top of this tea garden, happily admiring this piece of emerald green. The sun is still hovering halfway up the mountain, and it can't be picked in the field, and dew tea is not a good tea.
When Chuantao planted this tea seed, it was sown in rows, and now it grows from the ground in a neat row after row, connected into a piece, full of vitality and pleasing to the eye.
Until the sun illuminates the hillside, the emerald green reflects a touch of gold, and the dew fades, leaving the fresh tea buds proudly branching, swaying in the breeze.
Chuantao said: "Caixia, I'll pick you first, the tea should be delicious, you have to grasp the proportion." ”
"Well, listen to you." Caixia is still in contact with this work for the first time, of course, she has to learn it first.
Chuantao learned the method from the master, and repeated it to Caixia in the original way, and then pointed his fingers and picked them one by one.
It didn't take long for Caixia to meet.
The young husband and young wife carefully picked this piece of tea, a piece of hope, and a piece of harvest.
The sun warms the earth, and also warms the heart of the waves; The slight breeze made the tea buds nod, and they also gently rubbed the arms of Caixia and Chuantao.
Peng's arrival broke the tranquility.
"Chuantao, Caixia, this is the tea? Didn't get to the house and sit down first? "Peng's is feeling strange at home, at this time in the past, Caixia has already arrived at the old house with a bright smile, but why hasn't it arrived today? So I went up the slope to take a look, and saw a pair of tea picking children in the tea garden.
"This tea has just been sent out, I want to make a new tea to surprise you, haha~~~~~" Chuantao was exactly what he planned, but he was found by the old lady first.
"Hehe, I'm here to help with the picking, and the surprise of personal participation will be better!" Peng also joined the ranks of tea picking, but completed the participation plan under the guidance of Chuan Tao. That's good, too, and you'll know how to pick it next time.
……
Soon, the fresh and tender tea leaves of Sanzhu Blue were full, and Chuan Tao sent them to the old house, found a satisfactory piece of shady ground and spread it out, and then picked so much that it could be processed into dry tea.
For a whole morning, a family of three pinched out a bunch of fresh leaves in this new tea garden, which was enough for Chuan Tao to perform the stunt of roasting tea and kneading tea kang tea in the afternoon.
Tea making takes place in the pot stove of the old house.
The oil sand has to be fished out of the river and stir-fried in a pot. Since this was the first time Hao Jiapo had ever made tea, these preparations took up a lot of time. Despite this, Caixia and Peng have been waiting by their side, and they want to be the first witnesses of Chuantao's creation of new tea. Even Hao Jiayu, who was teaching in the lecture hall, took the time to come to the kitchen a few times and paid great attention to his son's tea garden business, which he devoted a lot of energy and confidence to.
Just as the sun moved westward to the side of the mountain, Chuantao's first pot of new tea finally came out. The smile that bloomed in the sweat proved that he had succeeded.
"Mom, boil the water. This first pot of new tea has to honor my parents first. Hee-hee-hee~~~~~ "Chuantao is not without pride.
"I'll do this." Caixia was so excited that she snatched Peng's job.
Chuan Tao took out the tea set that he mixed from his uncle's house, washed it and washed it, washed it and washed it, and dried it on the fire.
The boiling water was boiling, Chuan Tao put a handful of tea leaves, rushed into the boiling water to soak, and then ran to the church.
"Dad, the tea is ready, you go over and taste it." Chuantao came to invite Daddy to drink the first cup.
"Okay, I'll come right over!" has a son's filial piety, Hao Jiayu's heart is sweeter than honey.
Chuan Tao poured out the first fragrant tea into the hands of his father and mother, and then gave Caixia a cup, and finally tried this newly produced green tea.
The aroma is striking and the aftertaste is mellow and long. This is a high score given by Chuan Tao to his work.
"Dad, Mom, what do you think?" Chuantao wanted to hear his parents' opinions.
"Well, this thing seems to smell better than the one you brought back." This is Hao Jiayu's comment.
"Well, I think I've found a treasure." This is Peng's opinion.
"Hehe, my family will have good tea to drink in the future." This is Caixia's opinion that is not salty or light.
Chuan Tao said: "Since we can grow good tea on this slope, then I want to invite the patriarch grandfather and the uncles and uncles on the slope to come and sit." Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and they all think that if there is a future in tea planting, it will not take two years for the output of this tea to be enough for me to open a tea house for business. Do you think so? ”
"That makes sense, then you go and invite them to come and sit down, it's getting late anyway, and they're all going home." With Hao Jiayu's words, Chuantao got up and said to Caixia: "Boil water, cook, I'll call someone over." ”
There are at least a dozen elders in the clan, and Chuan Tao shouted seven or eight after a while, but they didn't have Chuan Tao's fast footsteps, and Chuan Tao arrived home for a while, and the patriarch grandfather and the elders came over one after another.
Chuantao didn't say much, and directly made tea to entertain the guests.
"This is the green tea I just made, please advise the elders." Chuantao is modest and courteous.
"Ha, green tea, this is the kind you planted last winter?" Patriarch Grandpa asked.
"Well, this kind of child comes far away, if not thousands of miles, but also eight hundred, and was almost robbed by soldiers on the way, just to add some excitement to our hillside." Chuantao introduced the source.
"Take a good taste, Chuantao, this kid won't come all the way back to bring back a useless thing for no reason." The patriarch's grandfather's recommendation was more powerful than Chuantao's own.
Some of these elders have heard of tea, some have tasted tea when they go out, and many of them have tasted this expensive drink for the first time in their lives.
Smelling, smelling, tasting, and tasting, some people put the tea leaves in their mouths and chewed them, all seriously feeling its taste.
For a long, long time.
The patriarch's grandfather was the first to speak: "This kind of thing that can only be enjoyed by rich people, we can actually produce it on this slope." Chuantao, you have done a great deed for the benefit of the people. ”
"I tasted this tea when I was young, but the tea made by Chuantao seems to be more fragrant and mellow than that tea. It can be seen that it is indeed a good thing. ”
"It's the first time I've tasted this stuff, and today I realized that this is the real tea. I feel very good, not only fragrant, but also very thirst-quenching, rare. ”
……
All the reviews are positive, not bad.
Chuantao has more confidence in developing tea in this mountain.
"This tea tree bears fruit for three years, and the fruit is the seed. This tea tree can also be cuttings, that is, bury fine twigs into fine soil to let him take root and sprout. If you think it's good, I will cultivate a large number of tea seedlings for everyone to plant, and by this time next year, this tea will be available in every family here. There is a lot of tea, I will make a tea house to help everyone make tea and sell tea. Patriarch Grandpa, am I doing this well? ”
"Haha, that's a great thing. Then work hard for you, let our family have tea to drink, and tea to sell, at that time, it is strange that my Hao Jiapo does not get rich. ”
"yes, yes......"
A chorus echoed.
"Then it's decided, I guarantee that everyone has seedlings to plant, and that everyone's tea can be exchanged for silver, and the planting depends on everyone's efforts."
"Okay, okay, okay. That's for the best. ”
This has been done, and dinner has been made there.
On behalf of his parents, Chuan Tao invited the elders to have a light meal, and everyone was not polite, they all drank a little wine at the table, and waited for a table of tea after the meal.
Of course, Chuantao let everyone get their wish, this is everyone's hope, and it is also Chuantao's hope. Haojiapo - No, in this big mountain, the trade route is not developed, several lives are looking for food and clothing in the soil, on the slope to survive, except for the winter to earn some fur from the beasts in the forest, only a small amount of tung oil can be exchanged for silver, do not make a few mountain goods that have a reputation in the outside market, no matter how tossed can not make a fortune.
Tea is a project that Chuantao can do well for everyone.
