Chapter 1335 1335. Start picking tea
Compared to Liu Liu’s complacency and determination to make money, the others who join in the fun seem much more peaceful.
Especially the first brother in the list, who was carrying a basket and was still coquettish: "I think it's all women picking tea. It's a bit embarrassing for me, a grown man, to be among them."
Brother Chewei had no expression on his face: "What, I'm not a man?"
Not only him, but there were four older men beside him, all carrying baskets! Everyone is here to recuperate, so why do they have to be the only ones to set the scene?
Everyone stared at him, and Nian Xian couldn't help but fell silent: "The main reason is...life is pretty good here. My tea-picking skills are not good, and I still have to make money. I'm embarrassed..."
This is true, after all, they have never done this work before. The tea leaves in Yunqiao Village have a light taste, and the spring tea is mainly soft and tender - the tip of the leaves on the stem that have not yet unfolded. There are many fat people here with short and fat fingers. If they spend a long time digging in the ground, they won't be able to pull out a few tea leaves...
How embarrassing that is.
While they were struggling, the self-study girl walked past them carrying a basket. She looked down on them as she walked: "You're a grinder. We're here to work. The boss didn't pick on us, so you guys are the first to do it." A bit weaker."
“What? Are you so insecure at work? It’s understandable that you haven’t been able to get a promotion or salary increase for so many years and your body has been ruined.”
She has an outgoing personality and chats with people in the village every day in the canteen. Now she speaks in a much more natural dialect.
Even sharper!
Sister Danran has been taking care of her for a while, and now her cheeks are plump and full of color, and she speaks with more energy than before: "Don't say that, aren't you here too?"
The round-eyed girl, who was the youngest among the three and had the least social experience, giggled: "Why are you thinking so much? Just think of it as a different kind of spring outing! If we pick too little, just think of us working for the boss's house for half a day. If it’s okay, I can earn the extra money with peace of mind!”
“You don’t have to work overtime, you don’t have to socialize, and you don’t have a superior. As long as you have a serious attitude, it doesn’t matter if you pick more or less. Where can you find such a good job?”
“The cleaning lady in our company earns 2,500 a month and still gets picked on!”
It’s so heartbreaking!
But it makes sense.
While talking, everyone has followed the large army to Chashan.
The tea mountain they came to was not the original tea garden of the old Song family near the chestnut garden, but the larger tea mountain that originally belonged to Old Man Li's family and was abandoned, with more than ten acres of old tea trees and hundreds of acres of land. Tea seedlings.
The tea seedlings are now growing vigorously, and some of them have been interplanted with early-maturing watermelons.
The old tea tree has been carefully pruned since it was taken over last winter. After a winter of fertilization and cultivation, coupled with the suitable weather this spring, it has now grown layers of green and tender leaves.
Who in the village would see it and not say that the old Song family is capable?
The vegetables are grown well, and the tea leaves are cultivated so energetically!
Now, Wu Lan is reminding the novices: "We barely have enough people to pick tea, so you can just come here for fun, as long as the tea leaves you pick are up to standard." "In addition, if you don't have experience, it's best to choose a row one by one. Pick slowly. Because if you run around, the efficiency of picking the tea trees you have picked will be much slower."
"The hair tips on each tea tree should be picked as clean as possible. If not, they will grow into leaves later. The tea tree will feel that it is almost grown, and the regenerated buds will be thin and light, which will not be good in the future. Pick it again.”
Ulan also shouted: "Don't bring the leaves, otherwise we won't give you such a good price."
This was half a joke and half a serious statement, and the aunties in the village naturally knew this - the weight and efficiency of hair tips and buds are naturally very different. Originally, everyone had some calculations because of the high price of 50 per pound, but now that Wulan has reminded them, they are embarrassed.
in addition…
Taking tea is not difficult in the eyes of the villagers. In addition, it is not yet very hot, so it cannot be said to be very hard.
And it’s not just them in the field in front of them, but also a group of young men and women. If the quality of the wool they pick is too poor, there are so many employees here, and if Ulan really doesn’t hire them later, won’t he still lose?
Everyone stared at the young man and looked at him, everyone was worried!
The young people have no idea how many calculations an experienced old farmer will have in mind. They have seen it and learned it, so they select them one by one in the rows, tie the baskets to their waists in a decent manner, and pinch them carefully first. Take a photo of your hair and post it to your friends circle!
Okay! Let's get started!
And here, the experienced Wulan did not forget to draw a big cake: "Practice more, and you can pick more when you are familiar with it. You will leave then, and I will leave you half a day to pick tea leaves. I’ll fry it for you as much as you want, just as a souvenir.”
Half a day? !
Everyone quickly calculated in their minds - I heard that experienced people here can pick 4 catties a day, which is two catties in half a day. Their hands are raw, so one pound is enough, right?
How much dry tea does one pound of Maojian produce? About two and a half.
Wow! !
Who wouldn’t be tempted by this? Who doesn’t know Qiaoqiao’s tea. The initial price was 10,000 kilograms, but later on, even if it was sold in grams, we still had to rob it every day!
And they make money, take care of themselves, and get tea!
As soon as he said this, the eldest young master, who was still a little uncomfortable at first, became energetic! Liu Liu's moves were as fast as lightning and he was fully focused!
There is a rich young man among their colleagues, and he often hears him say that he has to spend a lot of money to buy tea. If she can get two or three taels by then, can she sell it directly to him?
Thinking about money and children, she became more and more excited!
On the other hand, the aunt from the same village in front laughed: "Oh, just for young people, we don't have any?"
Ulan also smiled and said: "They work overtime after working the night shift, and they come from all over the world, so let's just treat them as Qiao Qiao's classmates!"
“Why, you can’t make several times more money than them? Are you still envious of this?”
That’s true.
Everyone doesn’t know how much this tea is worth, but how can the legendary expensive tea be worth money? What's more, every household has some tea. What they have to do is to speed up and don't let the young people catch up!
After all, I heard that these are all people who come to big cities for vacation... Tsk, people in big cities really don’t enjoy happiness!
However, Maojian couldn't give it, so Ulan added: "If it's still dry when we pick the summer tea, can I let you each pick it for half a day?"
Update 1. Update 2 will be later, late at night.
