Chapter 26

  In March, the earth is full of green.

  Tian is already busy now, but the young couple seems to have become accustomed to a busy life. The main reason is that they have no money in their pockets, so they get flustered when they have some free time.

  A few days later, they took the rapeseed flowers that the seed stall owner had given them and planted them on Uncle Yang's land.

  Growing rapeseed is similar to lettuce. Since there are few seeds, the two of them built a ridge of more than ten meters and sprinkled the seeds. There is still more than half of the land left. They will wait until they have money to buy other seeds.

  The big herring pickled last year has been eaten up, and there are not a few lettuce leaves left in the back mountain. They don't like to eat the black rapeseed. Now it is full of moths and gnawed by rats, and a large piece of it is rotten.

  The two of them had been frying a plate of lettuce for many days without adding any oil or water. If Ji Congzhe hadn't bought a hen to lay chicks in the future, he would have killed the rooster.

  Lin Zhen said to Ji Congzhe after dinner that day, "I plan to do some tea business."

  "Tea business?"

  "Chen Hu said that the town harvests tea every year, but Gaoshan Village is too far away from the town, and the tea trees planted by the villagers are scattered and not in large quantities, so there are few people in the village doing tea business, but we have no other way to make money now."

  From ancient times to the present, the tea business has always been profitable. If he could do this business, Ji Congzhe would naturally be in favor of it. However, the tea business he was exposed to in his previous life was all finished products. If he and Lin Zhen started picking, they would look at each other blankly. .

  He asked Lin Zhen, "Do you know when the tea leaves can be picked?"

  "I asked Chen Hu, and he said that the first batch of spring tea will be picked in two days, and the second batch of tea will be picked at Qingming Festival. Only these two batches of tea can be sold for the price in a year."

  Ji Congzhe: "Okay, let's give it a try."

  The terrain of Gaoshan Village is high, and the weather warms up late this year. According to previous years, the first batch of morning tea should be picked at the end of February. This year, the buds appeared in early March, and the first crop of buds is the most valuable. People here named it Wu Niu Morning tea, this tea has the best color, appearance and taste, so the villagers have to pick it quickly in the past few days, otherwise the buds will look like ordinary tea leaves when they grow up.

  Two days later, the young couple went to Malanpo each carrying a basket. Before setting off, they were worried that they would not know how to pick. Chen Hu told them that it was best to pick the first batch, just pinch the green buds when they saw them.

  When they walked for two hours and arrived at the tea field in Malanpo, they found that the dwarf tea trees in the tents were covered with large areas of tender green. The small buds were tightly wrapped, the leaves were completely wrapped, and the smell was mellow.

  Lin Zhen's tea plot is not small, about a hundred meters long and forty to fifty meters wide. There are clusters of tea trees in an orderly manner, with half-meter-wide aisles between each cluster.

  Most of the places next to them are tea fields, and several villagers are also picking tea in their own fields.

  Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen each occupied a row of tea trees, and the picking went smoothly. At least they both agreed that it was easier than plowing. However, compared to the villagers picking in the fields next to them, their speed was not a bit slower.
