"Roasted tea apprentice selection has officially begun!" Cui'er looked at the boys and girls below with burning eyes, and announced with a slight smile. When they came out with Lian Qingshan just now, the two discussed it, and it was better for Cui'er to come forward in dealing with children, so Lian Qingshan stood behind and didn't speak.

"The first level, choose tea. Each person gets a tael of green tea, these green tea is picked down different tea mixed together, a stick of incense within the time, the clearest, the least loss of tea green, pass. ”

With a gesture of Cui'er's hand, Qian Shanming, Xiangmo, Heimu and Tantou came over, and carried over the tea green that had been picked before for the competition, followed by a few large shelves with blank baskets, and more than a dozen children, each with a blank basket in front of them, and the green tea that had already been weighed by Xiangmo was poured into the basket.

"Okay, it's time for a stick of incense, start!" Cui'er looked at the children below and looked at Cha Qing's mixed reactions, and announced loudly.

As soon as Cui'er said that she began, the children below became busy, some of them buried their heads in sorting after hearing Cui'er's voice, some of them looked left and right, wanting to see how other people did it, and they had to learn from it, and some of them looked at the tea green in front of them blankly, and they didn't know what to do.

"Heimu, charcoal, you two also take a basket to participate, come in with your ability, and someone in the province will say that you go through the back door in the future." Seeing that there were still empty baskets on the last row of shelves, and the two people standing next to him, Kuroki and Tantou, were also eager to try, so Cui'er smiled and let the two of them go too.

Hearing this, Xiang Mo obediently poured a green tea into the two empty baskets, and the two of them walked to the corresponding positions. Sort it out. Unlike the children in the village who have never entered the door in front of them, there are two black wood and charcoal heads, and they are very careful when sorting tea greens, and their movements are also very gentle.

Cui'er arranged this first level, the first one is to test the children's eyesight and meticulous work. This blend of tea green, is a single bud tea green, one leaf one bud tea green and three leaves one bud tea green mixture, as long as the careful observation, you can quickly find the similarities and differences, and according to this law will be the tea green separated.

And the second test is how meticulous they do things. Separating the tea green is not the goal, how to pick out the delicate tea green without breaking them, this is an important quality when dealing with tea green.

Cui'er walked among the children, watching some of them randomly divide the tea into several piles, and some looked around blankly. Although some understand the meaning of sorting tea greens, they can't hold small tea greens with clumsy hands, and some ...... At this moment, Cui'er's eyes were attracted by a girl who was dark, thin and short, but her movements were very neat.

The girl looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a pale green gown, which didn't look bad, but her feet were crooked. The slightly loose clothes are worn on the black and thin girl, and the girl who is not big looks even thinner.

And what attracted Cui'er was not only the clothes on this girl's body. It's the girl's calm expression and neat movements. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl who is obviously smaller than others was ridiculed before the competition, and was squeezed in the corner, but she was still unhurried and lightly divided the tea green, as if she was not affected at all, and she had this bearing. Even if this girl is worse in other aspects, Cui'er is willing to train her.

But...... This privilege. It has to be at the end of this little girl's first game to continue this bearing. Because, when Cui'er saw the basket in front of the thin black girl, she suddenly had a large handful of tea green, which was thrown by a fair-looking but mean-looking girl in front of her.

The girl's movements seemed to infect the people next to her, and another boy also threw his tea green into the black and thin girl's basket, and she just looked at the two of them with wide eyes and indignation, then pursed her lips, gritted her teeth and continued to divide the tea green.

This little girl is very patient, Cui'er sighed secretly in her heart, it can be seen from the little girl's angry eyes and pursed lips that this little girl is not a soft and gentle person without bloody bullying, but when she is bullied, she can still take care of the overall situation and endure it, which is also a good character.

Cui'er smiled, stopped paying more attention to the little girl, and continued to watch the others. The two children who threw the tea green in their basket to the little girl just now did not realize that what they were doing was clearly seen, and they were immersed in the reduction of their workload and the joy of bullying others, and they did not realize what they were about to face.

"Alright, the time has come for a stick of incense." Cui'er walked to the stage, saw that a stick of incense had burned out, and announced, "Everyone put down the things in their hands, and we will check the results of your tea division one by one." This tea is a mixture of three kinds, if you want to divide it, there will be at least three piles, single bud tea, one leaf one bud tea and three leaves and one bud tea, if you can't recognize it, or if you don't get it right, you can choose to leave by yourself, or you can wait for me to check it and let you know. ”

As soon as Cui'er's words fell, she saw two boys hanging their heads in frustration and silently retreating to the side, Cui'er asked Xiangmo to write down their names, and sent a penny as a comfort, and let them leave.

With a penny to start, the two dejected boys saw a smile on their faces, thanked Cui'er happily, and then left satisfied.

Cui'er watched the two honest children leave, and began to check the results of the remaining fifteen children on the field, among these fifteen people, the best division of tea and green is naturally two black wood and charcoal head, but there are also a few children who have a good share, and the black and thin little girl is one of them.

Although the black and thin girl did not divide all the tea greens, the finished tea greens were placed in different positions in the basket very regularly, and there were very few broken breaks.

Cui'er brushed off a total of five people from this level, two of them were messily divided into piles of Cha Qing, one was almost crushed Cha Qing, and two were the ones who bullied the black and thin girl just now, although the two of them may not have much malice. But bullying people regardless of the occasion or time is that they have no eyes, and it is okay to catch up with themselves.

"Madam, I don't accept it! I've finished dividing all the tea greens, and it's no worse than others'. Why can she stay, but I have to leave! The white girl who bullied the black and thin girl stood up and said with an unconvinced face when she was named and brushed down by Cui'er. This girl may be from a good family, and the pink jacket on her body is good, and she looks slender, with the sharpness and beauty of a girl.

"Oh. Are you not convinced? Cui'er didn't want to be like a child, but seeing the child's stubbornness, she couldn't help but want her to understand some reason, so she smiled and asked.

"Well, I'm not convinced!" Xu is Cui'er's smile was very gentle. The white girl didn't have the fear just now, nodded quickly and said, and then stretched out her hand and pointed at the black thin girl behind her, "You see that her tea hasn't been distributed, why can't she keep me!" ”

"Then, tell me, why hasn't her tea been distributed?" Cui'er walked to the side of the two little girls, looking at the black and thin girl who was obviously more than someone else's tea. "Her tea is the same at the same time, why is there so much more now that she can't finish it? You don't say it, but I know. You and another boy who was brushed off by me each threw a handful of green tea to her, so she couldn't finish it! ”

At the beginning, Cui'er's voice was still slow and gentle, and by the time she said the last word, she was already full of momentum. The white girl was speechless.

"I ...... I ......," the white girl muttered, but there was nothing to justify.

"You don't have to explain. I'll explain to you why I won't let you stay. I'm a tea shop apprentice. It is a person who works, and if you want to work, you must at least know what kind of things can be done and what kind of things cannot be done. In this tea shop, tea green and tea are the most important things, and it is absolutely not allowed to let the quality of tea green be affected because of a little thing, and you violated this when you secretly threw tea green into her basket. ”

"I ......" The white girl's mouth squirmed a few times, but she didn't say anything, tears quickly accumulated in her eyes, and she covered her face and ran away. The boy who followed her saw her running away, and hurriedly called her name to follow, with an anxious look as if his sweetheart had been wronged.

Cui'er looked at the two people who were far away, shook her head and sighed, she did whatever she wanted today, although she helped this black and thin little girl, but I hope that after she goes back, she will not be bullied more.

Xiangmo registered the remaining three unsuccessful candidates one by one, and softly asked the addresses and surnames of the two people who ran away just now, and each gave a copper coin for the carriage and horse fare, and then followed Cui'er's order to start the second round of testing.

The second round of testing is to dry the tea, spread out the tea green that has just been selected to dry, turn it once every quarter of an hour, a total of four times, except for the time when it needs to be in this yard, the rest of the time, everyone can spend time at will.

This round is a test of patience and attention, Xu is present are all children from poor families, the most important thing is patience, but there is no Cui'er expected, there is no child who cares about playing and does not remember the situation of work.

But there were two sturdy boys, who saw that Cui'er's family was digging the foundation, so they jumped down to help, and heard that they were working in Cui'er's mountain farm, and there were three pennies of wages every day, and they were also in charge of food, so they moved their minds to work in the mountain field, and after getting the permission of Lian Qingshan and Cui'er, they also withdrew from the competition, and after getting a penny for the carriage and horse fare, the two of them happily ran to the side of building a house to help work.

And what impressed Cui'er this time was a silent white young man, he didn't wander around like others when he was drying tea, but stood in the shade under the eaves, took out a thin booklet from his sleeve, and looked at it hungrily, there were only three simple words on the cover of the booklet, a thousand words, and he thought he was a child who loved to learn.

By the third level, there were only eight people left on the field, except for Black Wood and Charcoal, the remaining six people on the field were four men and two women, and after Cui'er covered up kneading the tea, they learned to knead the tea.

Of course, Cui'er doesn't plan to brush people at this step, because kneading tea is a technical job, and you can only get out of the level by slowly honing it, watching the eight people on the field kneading the tea carefully and carefully, even if the scorching sun is in the sky, she doesn't complain about being bitter or tired, Cui'er is very moved in her heart, and discussed it with Lian Qingshan, and hired all the rest of the people.

"Today I will send 30 yuan per person, which is a month's monthly money paid to you in advance, go home and buy some rice and grain to settle down at home, three days later in the morning, you all go to the tea shop to report, and then the official start of work will begin." Cui'er asked Xiangmo to send money to each person, registered their names, measured the size of their clothes, and let the children go back.

Looking at the freshly baked apprentices of the tea shop leaving, Cui'er was still thinking in her heart, after the tea shop had enough manpower, according to her current situation, would she need to buy some maids for Da Niu and Xiaohu. (To be continued)
