Qixia's tea trees grew very fast, and the branches and leaves flourished in half a year.

When it was time to pick, she called Yao Bei with Hai Lingzhu and asked her to help pick tea. That Yao Bei couldn't wait for her to scream, and hurriedly asked the Queen Mother for leave and ran to Daliang Kingdom.

Qixia also hired more than a dozen mountain people as helpers to help pick tea together.

The mountain people are very hard-working, picking one pound of fresh leaves for ten big money, and they can pick four or five pounds a day, which is much more than chopping firewood.

Yao Bei is also the first time to do this kind of work, she stays in the palace all day long, where is the fresh breath of this wilderness and mountain forest? So she was in a very comfortable mood, and she chatted with Qixia while pinching the fresh leaves: "Sister, I think that after this harvest, many people will learn to plant tea trees with us." This tea harvest is three seasons a year, except for winter, there is income in other seasons, it is really a better livelihood than farming. ”

Qixia kept busy with her hands, her left and right hands flew over, and the basket around her waist was almost full after a while, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and said to Yao Bei: "The terrain here is steep, there is a lot of rain, and the climate is relatively humid, so planting crops is naturally not as suitable as planting tea trees." As long as the mountain people see that we have made a profit, and know that this tea can support their families and their income is stable, they will naturally flock to follow suit. At that time, we will provide seeds for free and teach them how to plant, they don't need to invest money, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can have good returns. This mountainous area will soon be filled with the smell of tea. ”

Yao Bei nodded again and again and said yes, what she admires Qixia now is the five-body throw.

At this moment, the daughter of a mountain man came to deliver lunch, and picked up a large earthen pot of water for everyone to drink.

Qixia and Yao Bei went over to drink water, and the little daughter-in-law who delivered the meal suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said, "Fairy! You don't recognize me? ”

Qixia was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at this little lady carefully, she felt very kind, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Are you ••••••?"

"Fairy! I was the one you saved in the population market that year! The woman was so excited that she grabbed her sleeve and wouldn't let go.

Qixia hurriedly pulled her aside and spoke somewhere else.

It turned out that she didn't turn into a pockmarked face when she planted tea on this mountain, but when she returned to Ji Sheng's house, she also made the dress ----- jinghai cloth skirt, with a numb face and a flat nose, and her hair was wrapped in blue cloth. The neighbors all called her the numb-faced seventh aunt.

Even those who buy tofu know that the pock-faced Qigu has good craftsmanship, and the tofu she makes is famous far and wide, it tastes like egg custard, fresh and tender, this little woman is capable, and the poor scholar Ji Zhongda married a good daughter-in-law.

But girls have a love for beauty, and Qixia is no exception, since she came to Longwu Mountain, which is far away from the mountain, to plant tea, she simply restored her original body, so that she was more comfortable.

So the woman recognized her at first sight.

Only then did she remember that this woman was the first time she and Mo Yin came to Daliang Country to visit the night market, and saved the woman who sold herself in the population market.

At that time, the woman was humiliated by a person, and Qixia was about to teach the person a lesson, but Mo Yin stopped her, used a spell to turn the gang and the traffickers into pigs and dogs, and left a large ingot of silver for each of these sellers.

"Fairy! My name is Cuiqin, my family lives on this mountain, and the Aunt Liu in the black jacket is my mother. Thanks to you and that boy for saving us at that time, we all guessed that you two were immortals! It was with the great money you put in my bosom that I was able to cure my mother's illness, and I paid off all the debts when I had a surplus left, and now I live at home by washing clothes and laundry. ”

"Oh." When Qixia heard this, she also felt that fate was really ingenious, but she didn't expect to see that girl here. I was so indignant when I thought that she was humiliated at that time.

More than a decade has passed.

"You planted all the tea trees here, right?" Cui Qin asked with interest: "I have long heard that there are two beautiful ladies who plant tea trees here, but I didn't expect it to be you!" Otherwise, I should have come over to help! ”

Qixia smiled: "It's really good that you are here, I have a lot of things to trouble you." Then I told her my wish to promote the planting of tea trees here, and told her what this kind of tea needs to do, the material resources and labor costs that need to be invested, how to fertilize and maintain it after planting, how to pick, finish, and fry the •••••• after it grows up, how much harvest a season of tea is, how much profit it makes, and so on.

Cui Qin was stupid when she heard this, and counted with her fingers: "This time I calculated, one acre of tea land can harvest twenty taels of silver a year, and a family of three or four can plant ten acres of tea land, which is two hundred taels, oh my God, we have all become landlords!" ”

Qixia nodded and said, "No more, no less." I'm in need of a leader to lead people to do this. Seeds, planting methods, maintenance, picking, frying, selling and other links I will give detailed guidance, you just need to work hard to do it, to ensure that there will be a good year next year. ”

"Fairy! You are a god, who do we listen to if we don't listen to you?! Don't worry, I will do as you tell me to do, and I'll call the family back when I turn around, he is carrying work for people in the city! If you earn 30 yuan a day, you might as well come and pick tea. ”

Qixia took her hand and whispered: "Don't call me Fairy Fairy, no one here knows my identity, you just call me sister, this matter must be kept secret." ”

Cui Qin blushed and nodded fiercely.

After picking the tea leaves, they should be kneaded and roasted as soon as they are fresh.

Because this batch of fresh leaves was picked at the end of October and belonged to late autumn tea, Qixia planned to make them all into roasted green.

Roasted tea is warm and refreshing, and it is most suitable to drink in winter. Moreover, people near the capital mainly drink raw green tea every day, which is actually inappropriate. Green tea is suitable for spring and summer, and it is suitable for young people who are full of fire to drink green tea. In autumn and winter, the earth is damp and cold, and people's hearts are weakened, so naturally they can't drink cold raw tea, just like they can't use ice in winter, and they can't eat watermelon, bitter gourd and other raw foods that defeat fire. Therefore, Qixia expects that her roasted tea will be very popular as soon as it is made, and it will definitely sell well in the coming year, especially those who are older will favor this tea.

After more than ten days of continuous drying, this stubble tea was finally made. Cui Qin and several villagers followed alongside and studied seriously.

This Cuiqin can read and write, because her father was a low-ranking talent when he was alive, and he is only such a daughter, who taught her to read and practice words since she was a child.

This woman was really unambiguous, and took the raw edge paper to organize a large notebook, and wrote down all the essence of tea-making that Qixia talked about. She told Qixia that she would be responsible for teaching others this craft when she became a teacher in the future.

Yao Bei also praised her intentions beside her, and quietly said to Qixia: "Sister, you have accepted a good apprentice, better than me." ”

Qixia poked her back: "Where can I leave you?!" In front of and behind this mountain, there is still a large area of land to be turned, and you are busy! ”

Yao Bei stuck out his tongue, clasped his fist at her and said, "Order!" ”

The tea was made, Qixia boiled water to cook tea, and made a big pot for everyone to taste.

There were a lot of mountain people who came to taste tea, and they were all around the room. She used a crude clay bowl to pour tea for everyone, everyone held the tea bowl and drank carefully, and said that they had never drunk such a good fragrant tea, strong fragrance and bad mouth! It's a pleasure to drink!

Cuiqin looked at the tea in the bowl, the leaves were slender and oval, the leaf surface was as green as satin, the soup color was like amber clear and even, there was a clear and fruity taste, and this tea was very resistant to brewing, and it tasted after nine times.

She pondered for a while, drank the tea bowl in her hand, and asked Qixia, "Sister." Our tea is nine bubbles with a lingering fragrance! What should I call it? When the name is made, the goods are easy to sell. ”

Qixia smiled and said that what you said was exact, and she said, "I have already thought about it." Our place is called Longwu Mountain, it is a unique place to grow tea, there are cliffs on both sides of the mountain col, the sun shines when it is not long, half yin and half yang, and the temperature is also very constant. The best thing is that there is a small sweet spring dripping from the rock valley on the top of the mountain rock all the year round, this clear spring moistens the tea land, and there are all kinds of moss bait vegetables that come with the water flow, which fattens the tea field, so that the tea tree has a unique character and extraordinary talent. This tea has a clear flower and fruity aroma when brewed, so I think our tea is called 'Dragon Dance Qinghua Tea'. ”

Everyone applauded what he said.

An old man from a wealthy family who drinks tea all year round, he listened to Qixia's words, and said with a smile: "What the seventh girl said is very reasonable. I remember when I was young, I went to Hangzhou, where Longjing tea was very famous, but it was extremely expensive, and the people couldn't afford it. In addition, the tea is a little raw, and sometimes when the weather is cold, I feel sick to my stomach. It's this roasted tea, and it's the first time it's old, compared to that Shifeng Longjing, it's really better! ”

Qixia said with a smile: "Wait until next year, around the Qingming Festival, until the Guyu season, we will also make green tea, just like the preparation method of the Longjing." Because it is now winter, roasted tea is warm, no matter whether young or old people drink it, it is good to nourish the stomach and refresh. Wait until the summer, let's make another season of kung fu tea, that is called real kung fu, and then the big guy will taste the tea and have to put the dragon gate array! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard her words.

Yao Bei looked at these villagers, the folk customs were very simple, and he felt that it was really comfortable to be with these mountain people. I also thought that when I was young, I was in the Dragon Palace, and now in the Nine Shadows Palace, although those gods, monsters, and fairies lived for a long time, and even lived forever, they did everything to achieve the Tao.

Of course, he lives in Qionglou Yuyu and wears brocade feather clothes, but he is lonely and cold, and he is infinitely sad, what better than staying in the world for a few short days? !

I really don't want to go back, but thinking about the old queen mother being alone in the palace all day long, she still has to go back.

Na Manyi has been stumbling these days, and when she heard that the Demon Lord was going to make her a princess, the old lady disagreed, so the matter was put aside.

Manyi was so aggrieved that she cried to Yao Bei several times, and was about to ask Yao Bei and Mo Yuntian to help her make a statement to the Demon Lord and the Queen Mother.

It's annoying to think of these things, hey, first take a sip of tea to press, Yao Bei slowly poured himself another bowl of tea.
