Chapter 491: Learn From Me?
Uncle Cai had no intention of waiting for Anna. He brought Le Yao straight to the tea mountain.
“Uncle Cai, aren’t we waiting for her?” Le Yao couldn’t help but ask.
‘What’s there to wait for? There are so many staff members. Won’t they bring her over?” Uncle Cai’s tone wasn’t too good.
Le Yao could only smile awkwardly. This old man’s temper was really bad.
“Have you picked tea leaves before?” Uncle Cai had a good impression of Le Yao. Although this girl was very beautiful, she looked quite simple. At least, she looked like she was dressed for work, especially her hand. Her nails were clean, unlike the one just now, who had fancy nails with a few insects with their wings raised. He didn’t understand why she liked it.
“Yes.” Le Yao nodded honestly because in her previous life, she was a tour guide and led a group tour. Among them, there were many eco-experience tours. She often picked cherries and strawberries. Of course, she also picked tea leaves. She had even stir-fried tea before.
After all, if they had to bring tourists to experience it, the tour guides had to know how to do it too. Therefore, they had all gone through simple training in advance.
“Mhn.” Uncle Cai nodded.
“But I heard that it’s best to pick tea leaves in the morning, isn’t it?”
“Yes.” Uncle Cai nodded. “We usually pick tea in the morning here.” As he spoke, he frowned. “But today, in order to cooperate with your schedule, we had no choice but to enter the tea garden in the afternoon.” As he spoke, he looked at the sky. “Fortunately, there’s no sun today…”
“I’m sorry.” Le Yao smiled apologetically. Now, she seemed to understand why Uncle Cai had a bad temper. They were causing trouble for him.
“What does it have to do with you? Besides, your production team has compensated us.” Uncle Cai sighed again. “Actually, without this exposure, our tea leaves and other products here wouldn’t be able to sell well, and the villagers wouldn’t be able to get rich. Therefore, we understand. “Thank you, Uncle Cai.” Le Yao really didn’t know what to say. She could only thank him.
“Haha, you’re an interesting girl.” Uncle Cai finally smiled.
At this moment, the two of them had already reached the foot of the mountain. There were also tea trees here, but Le Yao recognized that they should be artificially planted green tea varieties.
“Our West Creek town has a good environment. It’s mainly because the water is good, so it nourishes high-quality tea trees…” Uncle Cai began to teach Le Yao about West Creek tea leaves. “There are eight old tea trees above that are more than a hundred years old. The stir-fried tea leaves are simply… of better quality than those highly advertised ones. However, four of them were set on fire by the Red Guards during the turbulent period. Now, there are only four left…”
“Now, the trees in this tea garden are all bred from those four old tea trees…”
“Later on, it began to diversify. At the foot of the mountain, some green tea was transplanted from Mount Lao. They also survived…”
“As the agricultural proverb says, ‘picking three days early makes treasure, and picking three days late makes grass’. Moreover, picking tea leaves strictly prohibits ‘raising fertility, harvesting sprouts, harvesting old tea’ …”
Le Yao listened seriously and nodded.
When Anna came out after taking a shower and cleaning up, she realized that Le Yao and Uncle Cai were gone. When she asked, she found out that they had left long ago and asked her to go over herself. She almost couldn’t help but curse. She took two deep breaths to calm down and followed the production team’s directions to the tea garden..
