There are more than 500 families in the village.

In this era, because of the sparse population, the state encouraged childbearing.

At the very least, there are four or five people in one household, and there are nearly 2,500 tea pickers in this village alone.

It is close to Wangjia Village, just cross the river.

Therefore, it directly solved the possibility of manpower shortage for Tang Jingyun.

The fifth day of the first month.

The sky is just dawning.

In previous years, this leisurely day of either being idle at home or visiting relatives everywhere, the villagers of Guiyang Village, who were supposed to be still sleeping in bed, have been collectively busy.

Last year, their village found a job picking tea in Wangjia Village, and most of the children in the village went to register except for the children who couldn't run and jump.

And today, it is the day to go to Wangjia Village to pick tea.

After breakfast, the villagers will gather at the entrance of the village.

There, there will be carriages to pick them up.

Their village is a little far from Wangjia Village, and it takes more than half an hour to walk.

The proprietor of Chashan prepared a carriage to pick them up and go every morning and sunset.

The villagers went to the entrance of the village one after another.

All of them wore thick jackets and carried back baskets for tea picking.

On the first day of work, I was a little excited.

Even if the weather is still a little cold now, the cold wind can't blow out the heat in everyone's hearts.

When the villagers came one after another, the paved road that had only been paved for a short time was heard with the sound of horses' hooves and the coachman's whip.

As soon as everyone was in high spirits, they saw a group of more than a dozen carriages appear in view, and finally stopped at the entrance of the village.

The driver at the head jumped out of the car and announced in his voice: "I'm going to get on the bus in Chashan, Wangjia Village." ”

These wagons were simple, with only a single plank on them.

The horses pulling the cart looked strong and unmatched, and a cart could seat more than a dozen people.

There has never been only people waiting for cars, and no cars waiting for people.

When everyone at the entrance of the village got into the car, the coachman did not ask if everyone was coming, but commanded the horses to turn around, flicked the empty whip, and began to run.

While the convoy was heading to its destination, several wagons were picking up people from nearby villages.

Slowly gathered together along the road that was only built, and it was quite vast.

These carriages arrived at Wangjia Village at about the same time.

After sending the people there, the carriage departed.

As soon as the people from these other villages got off the bus, they saw many people getting off the boat by the Zouma River next to them.

On the other side of the river, there are still many people waiting.

The other villages looked at it and envied it on the other side.

It's so close, you just need to cross a river to go home, and you can save a lot of time than them.

Of course, the most convenient one is Wangjia Village.

The tea mountain is behind their village, and it is closer.

Tea pickers are mostly women.

The man has the advantage of physical strength, and more often he went to apply for a roasted tea worker.

At the foot of the mountain, there are many experienced tea pickers waiting there.

When a group of people came, a few people went and took them away.

Then take people to the Xuexian tea tea tree field and explain how to pick it with these tea pickers.

After the explanation, I checked their nails and made sure that they had all their nails trimmed, and then let everyone spread out evenly and start picking tea.

The first wave of tea leaves is generally the first tea.

The second wave is one bud and one leaf, and the third wave only picks two or three young leaves.

When picking, you can't pinch with your fingernails, but you have to break it, otherwise the end will change color.

The color of the brewed tea will also be affected.

If someone is lazy and breaks their nails and is caught, they will be fined.

When the tea pickers are basically here, the sky is finally bright, and you can see the mountains full of busy tea pickers.

The first tea picks pure buds, and the wages given by Tang Jingyun for pure sprouts are 30 wen a catty.

And a skilled tea picker can pick up to three or four catties a day.

Wait until one bud and one leaf, because of the leaves, the weight increases, and a skilled worker can pick five to seven catties a day.

The price given by Tang Jingyun was fifteen wen a catty.

By the third wave it is all leaves, and it is faster to pick.

Therefore, the price is relatively lower.

The average yield of one mu of tea trees is 50 catties of tea.

According to the ratio of five catties of fresh leaves to one catty of dry tea.

One acre of tea trees can produce ten catties of finished tea.

It's no wonder that tea has been expensive since ancient times.

Tea pickers hand over tea twice a day, once at noon and once in the afternoon.

The number of tea weighing records is recorded, and the wages are settled every month.

At the foot of the mountain, rows of roasted tea rooms were built, and there were also stall troughs.

Tea leaves picked on the same day must be roasted on the same day.

After noon, the hundreds of tea roasters recruited by Tang Jingyun were about to start work.

There are several processes involved in making tea.

A skilled tea roaster can fry two catties of tea a day.

Of course, the vast majority of people don't know how to stir-fry tea.

At first, you have to spoil the tea.

Let's not talk about tea picking.

The craftsmanship of the roasted tea workers is different, and the quality of the roasted tea is also high and low.

Tang Jingyun set up awards within the roasted tea workers.

Whoever stir-fries the tea every day exceeds which quality, she will be rewarded.

In this way, it greatly reduces the waste of tea by the roasted tea workers, and also enhances the enthusiasm of the roasted tea workers to improve the quality of tea.

Tang Jingyun arrived in Wangjia Village in the afternoon, followed by Zhao Dakui and them.

Although the construction of Chashan has started now, the noodle and fat factory in the village will not start until the eighth day of the first year this year.

Zhao Damao and Xie Linxing are still idle, and Zhao Bingyan and Xie Zhaoxuan will not return to Beijing until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The whole family was free, so they came with them.

Xie Linxing and the others also went back to the village to see their house and land.

The Xie family has been busy this year.

The new house was built, but it was built more casually.

It's empty, and there's no furniture at all.

The Xie family still has one acre of land left in Ligou Village, and because they are busy taking care of Tang Jingyun's business, they have rented it to people in the village for planting.

Although Xie Linxing has changed a lot, many people of the same age can still recognize him when they see him.

But like before, black and thin, but now it is white and tender, looking like Xie Zhaojun, who is like the young master of the family, some people can't recognize it when they look at it.

Now Li Zhiwen of the Li family in the village has cooperation with the weaving and dyeing workshop opened by the Jiang family and Tang Jingyun, and there are people in the village who know about it.

There are still many women in the village in Li Zhiwen's embroidery workshop, and some embroidery family members have heard a few words.

Tang Jingyun has now opened the store in Shangjing, so Xie Zhaojun went to Shangjing to take care of Tang Jingyun's store last year.

Upper Beijing there.

is either a rich person or a powerful person, after staying for a long time, it is not surprising that Xie Zhaojun has such momentum.

It made them quite envious.

The tea mountain is quite high.

Tang Jingyun and his party only walked halfway up the mountain and went down, and then went to the roasted tea room.

In the roasted tea room, there is a slippery earthen stove.

On the stove is an iron pot for roasting tea at an angle.

Stir-frying this pot of tea usually requires two people to do it hand in hand.

One person burns wood under the stove, and the other concentrates on roasting tea.

The roasted tea room was in full swing.
