CHAPTER XXVI

It is easy to admit that unlike other tea trees, the biggest hot spot of the white cockscomb tea tender tea leaves is a yellow in the green bushes, which contrasts sharply with the dark green or emerald green of its old leaves, thus growing into a rare two-color layer. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

In the previous life, the Lin family tea house had planted this tea, but unfortunately the survival rate of the white cockscomb tea tree was low, and the yield was not high, so it did not become a good tea that everyone in the market saw. But in the eyes of connoisseurs, this tea is extremely valuable.

In addition to the legends of the white cockscomb tea, it is said that it can be seen in the deep mountains here, and no one in the village has ever seen it, even people like Zhang Manchu, who have been wandering outside all the year round, do not know about this thing, but they are afraid that what they encounter is the mother plant of the white cockscomb tea. If this is the case, then the regret she regretted when she made handmade tea in her previous life must be able to make up for it.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and in the end, she could only barely suppress her excitement, and came to Zhang Manchu's side, pinched two leaves from the branch, put them in her mouth and chewed.

After a while, the sweet and bitter taste lingered in the mouth. The tea is fragrant and fragrant, the entrance is smooth and soft, and there is a sweet smell after the rest. Although it was not fried and dried, it was already sweet in the throat and slightly warmed in the chest and abdomen. There is no need to think about it at all, Lin Baozhu has already determined that this tea is jí pǐn is a rare good quality.

She didn't care about Zhang Manchu's expression, and began to look carefully at the branch in the man's hand as soon as her eyes turned. Just a glance immediately reveals a touch of surprise, the tea plant is still ripe, and now it can be picked in March and May.

"Daughter-in-law, what is delicious about the leaves of this bitter grass, don't be stunned. If you want something to eat, just tell me that I'll go to town later. Seeing Lin Baozhu's strange behavior, Zhang Manchu frowned and muttered in his heart. When eating, he laughed at other people's belief in strange powers, but he didn't want his daughter-in-law to start eating grass and leaves just after eating, how could this be good?

But he knew that no matter whether his daughter-in-law was taken away or possessed by a monster in the mountains, no one wanted to pull people away under his own nose. Thinking that when he was in Jizhou City, he saw a Taoist priest burning a big girl to death, his eyes were difficult to hide the coldness, and even his face was a little gloomy.

Lin Baozhu didn't know what Zhang Manchu was thinking at all, she was now full of thoughts about this tea tree.

"Are you going to have to go down to the ground in a moment?" Lin Baozhu looked up excitedly and asked, his bright eyes moistened a lot because of the smile, and Zhang Manchu's heart was hot when he saw it. Her complexion has improved a lot these days, her face has grown some flesh and is also a lot ruddy, plus a pair of black and white almond eyes that are not showy but clear and clean, lined with moist and pink lips, no matter how you look at it, it makes people's hearts itch. Not to mention Zhang Manho's upright and hot-blooded age, don't you feel that the heat is unstoppable?

"Well, I'll leave in a moment." Zhang Manchu moved uncomfortably, and his eyes were a little wandering. It's just that there is nothing on his face, as if he is still as terrifying as in the past. But fortunately, Lin Baozhu was not afraid of him, so he leaned forward and wanted to go with him.

What else can be said? Seeing that his daughter-in-law looked like she would go if you didn't agree to me, Zhang Manchu couldn't say anything even if he intentionally objected. Habitually frowning as if he was about to get angry, he just thought that his daughter-in-law rarely made a request to himself, so he instinctively nodded and agreed.

These days, there are no wild animals in the mountain nests, and since spring has already begun, wild animals who want to come to the mountains will not come to the vicinity of the village to forage for food. Besides, isn't he still following, and if he encounters any accidents, he can also protect his daughter-in-law.

wanted to dig some wild vegetables, so when he went out, Lin Baozhu carried a basket again and threw a hoe into it. Thinking that I would not be thirsty, I took a water bladder full of water.

Zhang Manchu frowned and looked at his daughter-in-law's business, feeling that it was a little redundant, but he couldn't stand the rise of his daughter-in-law's preparation, so he simply threw the rope and hoe in his hand directly, and then lifted the basket with one hand.

He was already full of strength, so the series of movements did not take any effort at all. If he wasn't worried that his daughter-in-law would be embarrassed, maybe he would carry his daughter-in-law into the mountain, after all, the road in the mountain is very difficult to walk.

After a few rough words, the two of them set off, and when they entered the mountain, Zhang Manchu carefully used a sickle in front of him to separate the weeds and branches on both sides. By the way, there are snakes, ants, poisonous insects and the like.

Skirting the hill in front of us, following a path that had not been stepped out of but could barely walk, we had passed a muddy hill full of weeds and small flying insects, and then we came to the place where the land was full of hoarding. The terrain here is flat, but looking at the stones that have been picked up around the ground, I also know that the project is not small.

It was just past noon at this time, and it was still a little hot, so even if he had only walked for a quarter of an hour, Lin Baozhu was still tired and out of breath. In contrast, Zhang Manho, who opened the road in front and suppressed his pace because he was afraid that his daughter-in-law would not be able to keep up with her slow steps, did not look tired at all.

"Daughter-in-law, you can find a place to rest for a while, and I'll just go and finish digging the last bit of land." Zhang Manchu put down the basket, only took the hoe and said, "Don't go far, if you want to go far away, I'll take you with me." ”

"Okay, you go first." Lin Baozhu sat on a stone with his buttocks, stretched out his hand and fanned the breeze and replied. It's really hot and tired, no matter what, she has to slow down first, otherwise the tea tree won't be found, and she won't have the strength first.

Zhang Manchu was originally from a hard background, and he did a lot of hard work when he was in prison, so it was effortless to dig the ground and pick up stones, if it weren't for the crackling beads of sweat on his forehead, I was afraid that others would think he didn't work hard. At this time, Lin Baozhu, who was sitting on the side beating his legs and rubbing his waist, had time to take a closer look at this man.

Looking at the tiger's back, the tense muscles in his arms and back bulged, as if he wanted to stretch his clothes. And the tall and muscular body, the rough movements and thick eyebrows and sword eyes, combined with the dark complexion and terrifying fierce expression, no matter how you look at it, he is a rough man. But in this way, outsiders look like a hideous and ruthless man, coupled with a temperament that is not good at talking, it really makes Lin Baozhu feel appreciative and like.

Not to mention the rumors about him outside, just to say what Aunt Datian and Aunt Ma heard, plus her own impression, she didn't think that this was a villain who did evil at all, let alone that there was anything terrible

At first, Zhang Manchu could still work properly, but the unreserved gaze behind him made him uncomfortable, and even the muscles on his body became more and more tense. Xu had never been looked at like this by other women, he was really aggrieved and nervous, and his palms sweated a lot for no reason.

In the end, it was Lin Baozhu who swept the remaining light to a few bushes with yellowed buds and leaves on the hillside, and then looked away in surprise, which made Zhang Manchu's frowning brows expand a lot. It's just the sweat between the eyebrows, but it doesn't go down at all, not to mention the inexplicable heat in my heart.

Not to mention how Zhang Manchu was tormented in his heart, and how he felt that his daughter-in-law was getting bolder, at the beginning, when she was brought a bowl of rice soup, she could hide back like a quail in fright. Now, not only will he instruct him to work, but he will even dare to stare at his skin, he thinks, maybe he will not be afraid of his cold face in a few days. But come to think of it, in fact, such a day is quite intimate.

For a while, on the empty mountains, with the heat of sweat and the sun, and the trickle sound that was not obvious from time to time, the couple opened the ground and studied the tea bushes they had just discovered on the side, but it was peaceful and comfortable.

Zhang Manchu was busy with his hands, and when he was free, he looked up at his daughter-in-law who didn't know what to do. I don't know when, my daughter-in-law has begun to taste the leaves one by one, and his heart is awkward.

It can be seen that his daughter-in-law is rising, thinking that the leaf is not poisonous, and the children in the village have taken the whole person less, and nothing will happen if they think about it. I simply didn't go forward to disturb, only frowned from time to time, and remembered that I must buy more snacks for my daughter-in-law when I go back to town.

Let's say that Lin Baozhu went up along the tea bushes he just saw, smelling the wind blowing from the hill with a faint fragrance of tea. The taste alone can be guessed that this hill is a natural tea plantation at all, and even if it is not much worse, it is not much different from a large-scale tea plantation.

She didn't expect to find a rare big red robe, iron arhat, and water golden turtle in this tea garden, but she just hoped that this tea garden would not be ruined by her own craftsmanship. It is said that the master craftsman, her research and dedication to handmade tea at the beginning can be seen by everyone.

Looking at the growth and condition of the tea trees, I think that it will be completely ready to be picked in another month. It's just that during this period, she must not be at ease to come and see it every day.

After inspecting the tea trees on the slope, Lin Baozhu was naturally happy, and even digging wild vegetables felt much easier. In a few moments, a small basket of bracken and shepherd's cabbage was full. Thinking that there was a lack of seasonings at home, he simply found wild leeks and wild garlic on the edge of the field.

After a busy day, Zhang Manchu was worried that his daughter-in-law would be tired, so he came to deliver two rounds of water. In the end, he even put down his work and helped pick up a lot of bracken. He didn't know what was delicious about the wild vegetables that could be seen everywhere, but when he saw his daughter-in-law rising, he didn't want to spoil her mood.

At this time, how did he know that Lin Baozhu's good mood was never because of the wild vegetables all over the mountains, but because he was excited by smelling the fragrance of tea in the wind and thinking about how to pick tea.
