Chapter 1335 1335. Start picking tea
Compared with Liu Liu's complacency and vowing to make money, the other people who join in the fun seem much more peaceful.
Especially the first brother in the list, Nian Xiu, 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 an expressionless face: "What, I'm not a man?"
Not only him, 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 Xu couldn't help but fell silent: "The main reason is...I live a good life 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. The tea in Yunqiao Village has a light taste, and the spring tea is mainly soft and tender tips - the tip of the leaves on the stem that have not yet unfolded. There are many fat people here with short and fat fingers. It would be embarrassing if they spent a long time digging in the ground and couldn't pull out a few tea leaves...
That would be embarrassing.
While they were struggling, the self-study sister walked past them carrying a basket. She looked down on them as she walked: "We are here to work, and the boss didn't pick us out. The problem is that you are weak first.”
“Why? Are you so unsure of yourself at work? It’s understandable that you haven’t been able to get a promotion or raise your salary for so many years. .”
She is outgoing and chats with people in the village every day in the cafeteria. Now she speaks in a much more natural dialect.
Even sharper!
Sister Danran has been raising her for a while, and now her cheeks are plump and full of color, and her energy when speaking is stronger 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 this extra money with peace of mind!”
“No overtime, no socializing, and no superiors. As long as you have a serious attitude, it doesn’t matter if you pick more or less. Where can I find such a good job? Yeah? ”
"The cleaning lady in our company is being criticized for making 2,500 a month!"
How 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, covering more than ten acres of old land. Tea trees and hundreds of acres of 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.
Anyone in the village who saw it would not say that the old Song family was capable?
The vegetables are grown well, and the tea leaves are grown so energetically!
Now, Wulan is reminding the novices: "We barely have enough people to pick tea, so just treat it as just for fun, as long as the tea leaves you pick are up to standard." "Besides, if you don't have experience, It is best to pick one row at a time, because if you run around, the efficiency of those behind you will be much slower.”
“The hair tips on each tea tree should be picked as cleanly 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 thin. It’s so light that it won’t be easy to pick it later.”
As he spoke, he asked them to look at the aunties who had neatly tied the baskets around their waists and were picking tea leaves quickly with one or both hands.
Ulan also shouted: "Don't bring the leaves, otherwise we won't give you such a good price."
This was half joking and half serious. The aunts naturally know this well - the weight and efficiency of hair tips and bud leaves 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...
Picking 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, there are 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 Ulan really doesn’t want to hire them, and it will be a loss. Isn’t it still yourself?
Everyone stared at the young man, 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 selected them one by one in rows and tied the baskets to their waists in a decent manner. , first carefully pick up a handful of hair tips, take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments!
OK! Let’s get started!
And here, the experienced Ulan did not forget to draw a big pie: "Practice more, and you will be able to pick more when you are familiar with it. You will leave then, I will leave you half a day. I’ll devote my time to picking tea leaves, and I’ll roast as many as I can as a souvenir.”
Half a day? !
Everyone quickly calculated in their minds - I heard that experienced hands here can pick 4 kilograms a day, which is two kilograms in half a day. Their hands are raw, so one pound is enough, right?
How much dry tea does a 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!
After saying 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 saying that he will 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 contrary, the aunt from the same village in front laughed: "Oh, just for young people, we don't have any?"
Ulan also laughed and said: "They work overtime after working the night shift. , I’m from all over the world again, let’s just call it Qiao Qiao’s classmate!”
“Why, you can’t make many times more money than them?”
Then? really.
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.
