"Steward Li is telling me, next pick the tea before the rain, the temperature is high, there are more insects, how to deal with it." Zhong Lingzhi is also a half-old young man, although he has a close relationship with Zhong Lingyu on weekdays, he has never been so intimate, and he can't help but be shy and excited, feeling that his sister is unprecedentedly good to him.

Steward Li also came over to greet him and asked, "Is Master Onishi's body and bones good?" ”

"It's tough, I have to eat two big bowls of rice for one meal." Zhong Lingyu said, turning his head and seeing Zhong Lingzhi's eyes looking straight at him, there was admiration and admiration in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong?" Look at my sister like this. ”

"Today, Steward Li told me a lot about my sister. Sister, how did you come up with the idea of spreading grass in the tea garden? Zhong Lingzhi asked.

"Oh~" Zhong Lingyu suddenly smiled and said, "This is the result of careful observation." ”

As she spoke, she described: "At that time, my father bought some new mountain land and wanted to plant new plants, and because those tea seedlings had not yet grown, grass was particularly easy to grow nearby, but there were very few weeds under the grown tea plants, so I thought, what is going on? The old tea farmer told me that the tea seedlings are relatively open between the rows and plants, and they can get sunlight, so the weeds grow very quickly. The canopy density between mature tea plants is high, and the shade under the shade is not conducive to the growth of weeds, so it is not easy to grow grass. ”

She pointed to the place where the roots of the soil had just been cultivated, revealing the yellow soil: "And when it rains, as soon as the rain washes away, the soil and the fertilizer that has just been put up are easy to be washed away by the rain." I thought, is there a good way to protect the soil without allowing weeds to grow? Once, I saw that after the tea farmers pulled the grass, the grass was piled on the side, and the place where the grass was piled up was not easy to be washed away, and the weeds basically did not grow because of the lack of sunlight. ”

Steward Li said with a smile: "The method that the eldest lady thought of saved us a lot of effort." Originally, weeding alone required a lot of labor and energy throughout the year. Now it's good, the woolly grass in the mountain nest has been cut and spread, and the weeds have basically not grown. Moreover, these hairy grasses will rot in two or three years, once and for all, they can also retain water in summer, keep warm in winter, and increase the fertility of the soil, which is really helpful. It can be said that our tea garden has a lot of production, the tea buds are fat and tender, and the tea quality is good, and most of the credit is due to the young lady. ”

In order to educate his younger brother, Zhong Lingyu said that it was nothing to talk about his thoughts, but when he heard Steward Li praise him so much, his face was also slightly red: "Steward Li praised it falsely." I don't have that much credit, but I'm just talking about it. But you have worked hard all year long, and our tea trees have grown well. ”

Steward Li waved his hand: "Who wouldn't come out of coolies?" The person who comes up with a good way is the most respectable. For example, Master Onishi came up with such a method of stir-frying tea, and how many people have benefited? ”

"Steward Li is right, sister, don't be modest." Zhong Lingzhi's heart is now full of admiration for his sister.

When my sister proposed these methods, she was only twelve years old, and she had just gone to the mountains with her father to learn how to take care of the tea plantation. Thinking that he was eleven and a half years old, but he didn't understand anything, he couldn't help but secretly resolve in his heart that he must learn how to manage the tea plantation. In the future, even if you can't compare with your sister, you can't be too far behind.

Seeing Zhong Lingzhi's determined face, Zhong Lingyu knew that he felt something, and couldn't help but be pleased.

Although she and Zhong Lingzhi were not born to the same mother, they have few fathers and children, and there are only three of them, although Aunt Du is a little cautious, but she is not the kind of woman who has ambition and means. Therefore, on weekdays, she also attaches great importance to cultivating the relationship between her sister and brother with Zhong Lingzhi, and at the same time tells Zhong Lingming to take care of her younger brother more in the school, and when she grows up, she will also rely on each other. In addition, Zhuang's housemother is unreliable, and Zhong Deping is also willing to pay more attention to the three of them, so Zhong Lingzhi has a close relationship with his sister and brother.

This is also the reason why Zhong Lingyu is willing to bring him to the tea garden. Otherwise, why bother cultivating a white-eyed wolf?

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." Zhong Lingyu said, taking the lead in front.

After a while, they came to a large protruding rock. Standing here, you can see several tea plantations nearby and under the mountain.

Zhong Lingyu pointed to a tea garden in the lower left and said, "Do you know, whose tea garden is that?" ”

Although Zhong Lingzhi didn't have much contact with these things before, he also followed Zhong Deping to the tea garden, so he naturally knew that this was the tea garden of his second uncle Zhong Deqing.

"It's from the second uncle's."

Zhong Lingyu nodded, and asked again: "Compared with our tea garden, how is the area?" ”

"Naturally, it's not as good as us." Zhong Lingzhi was a little proud when he talked about this, his father bought a lot of mountains with his grandmother's dowry in the early years, and when his grandfather divided the family with us, he gave us all the connected mountains. Our tea garden is more than one-third larger than the second and third uncles. ”

"What about that piece?" Zhong Lingyu asked again, pointing to a small tea garden in the valley.

"This ...... I've heard my dad talk about it before, it seems to be a tea garden from a distant family in the city, right? His family's tea garden is small and produces very little tea, so he does not dare to open his own tea house, but relies on his relatives' tea houses to sell it. ”

Zhong Lingyu looked at Zhong Lingzhi's eyes and asked with a serious expression: "Then let me ask you, if our family's tea garden is only as big as Yuan's family, when you get married and divide the family, even if you share half of your family property, how much can you get?" ”

He vaguely guessed what Zhong Lingyu was going to say, but he still replied honestly: "Not much." ”

"It's as big as our tea plantation now, even if you can only get one-third of it, how much is it?"

Zhong Lingzhi glanced at the Yuanjia tea garden and replied, "It's bigger than the Yuanjia." ”

"If we work hard and double the size of the tea plantation, how much will you get by then?"

"It's a very big piece, and it can occupy the top three positions in Ba County." Zhong Lingzhi vaguely understood what Zhong Lingyu meant.

Zhong Lingyu smiled and continued: "Therefore, we can only make the family business bigger, and when we start a family and start a business, we will get more from each person." Ming'er only has a younger brother like you, and you only have an older brother like him. The two of you brothers work together to open the tea garden of our Zhong family's big house all over the world and sell our tea outside the territory, which is the real ability. Even if you split up, you're still a rich man. Don't be like the second uncle, just staring at the small piece of meat in the bowl of the relatives around you, be careful, and have no interest. ”

Zhong Lingzhi nodded vigorously: "Eldest sister, don't worry, I won't have those dirty thoughts." My father has always told me that relying on my own ability to get promoted and make a fortune is the right way; Relying on various means to snatch property from other people's hands is something that only people who have no ability can do, and it will not end well in the end. My brother has always been very good to me, and I won't get involved with him. ”

Knowing that Zhong Deping had taught Zhong Lingzhi in this regard, Zhong Lingyu was relieved. To prevent brothers from falling out, it is not a sentence or two that can be effective at this time, you need to communicate with each other in the process of getting along and teach slowly. Talking too much at this time will arouse his rebellious heart.

She said no more, patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, go down the mountain." ”

The siblings went down the mountain, had lunch in the tea plantation, and then took a carriage to the city.

The journey was smooth, and it was not yet afternoon when the carriage entered the city.

"It's still early, don't go home first, go to the tea house and have a look." Zhong Lingyu looked at the sky, and ordered, and called the rain to fall, "You get out of the car and tell the third young master, if he wants to go together, he will go, and if he doesn't want to go, go home first." ”

Yuan Haokang heard the words in front and slowed down the carriage. Yuyu jumped out of the carriage and went to the horse where Zhong Lingzhi was riding, and relayed Zhong Lingyu's words. After a while, she turned around and said to Zhong Lingyu: "The third young master said that he would go together." ”

"Well, let's go."

Yuan Haokang replied in front and drove the carriage in the direction of the tea house.
