Wang Shijing could not remember the exact location of the tea tree, so he led Shao Yunan up the mountain by instinct. Not long after walking, Shao Yunan broke free from Wang Shijing's hand, and when Wang Shijing turned around, he walked to the side.

"There is osmanthus here! I smell the fragrance of osmanthus."

The solemnity in Wang Shijing's one eye dissipated immediately, his nose moved, and he followed Shao Yunan, shouting, "Watch out for your feet, there are many insects in the grass, be careful of snakes."

Shao Yunan stopped immediately and turned his head: "You lead the way, I smell here."

Wang Shijing walked in front of Shao Yunan, grabbed his wrist again, and took him to Osmanthus. After walking for four or five meters, a forest of sweet-scented osmanthus appeared in front of Wang Shijing. Shao Yunan was very happy: "Brother Ishijing, write down this location and transplant a few sweet-scented osmanthus flowers when the new house is built."

"Okay." Wang Shijing looked at the surroundings and took note of the location of the sweet-scented osmanthus.

"Pick some flowers and go back to make sweet-scented osmanthus dumplings to eat."

"Okay."

Wang Shijing went to pick flowers, Shao Yunan told him to wait, and he went to pick them. Thinking that he might encounter a tea tree, Shao Yunan brought several cloth pockets and took out one to hold sweet-scented osmanthus. Filled with sweet-scented osmanthus, he contentedly put it into his backpack.

The two returned along the road and continued to walk deep into the mountain. The humidity in the forest is relatively heavy this season, and Shao Yunan found several kinds of mushrooms. Wang Shijing used to pick mushrooms in the forest. Under Wang Shijing's guidance, the two picked all the edible mushrooms.

"The forest is indeed the richest treasure house."

In the process of picking mushrooms, Shao Yunan also discovered Artemisia annua. This Wang Shijing had never eaten, but regarded it as a weed. Shao Yunan picked up a lot and threw some into the space when Wang Shijing was not paying attention. Artemisia is one of the best companions for hot pot.

what! hot pot!

Shao Yunan's head was hit by a flash of light. Wang Shijing, who was holding a few large mushrooms with the thickness of the child's wrist, returned to his senses and saw Shao Yunan staring blankly at the edible wild vegetable that is said to be called "Luhao" in his hand.

"Yun An?"

Shao Yunan raised his head, his eyes brightened: "I thought of doing a small business first!"

Wang Shijing's one-eyed smiled faintly: "What kind of small business?"

"Go back and talk to you."

Shao Yunan's joy infected Wang Shijing, he put all the mushrooms in his back basket, put the Artemisia annua in Shao Yunan's hand in his back basket, and continued walking by pulling Shao Yunan's wrist.

"Brother Ishii, are there tigers, wolves, etc. here? Didn't you say there are beasts here?"

Wang Shijing continued to open the road and said: "The beasts have to go deep to meet them, we will not go deep. There are no wild beasts in the mountains and forests around the village, but sometimes wild boars will come down the mountain. When the crops are about to be harvested, the village will They will arrange manned patrols, dig traps to prevent wild boars, and organize people to go into the mountains to kill wild boars.”

"Wild boar, it must taste good." This is the sadness of a modern person. If you don't think about game or something, you might be late to protect animals.

Wang Shijing immediately said: "If you want to eat, I will hunt for you later."

Shao Yunan looked at Wang Shijing's generous back, and suddenly had an "illusion (? that "this man is very reliable". Taking a deep breath and suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Shao Yunan continued to watch the six roads.

"Brother Ishii, look, is that chestnut?"

Treasures in the mountains make Shao Yun Anle bloom. I haven't found a tea tree yet, but the rich variety of mountain goods along the way is enough to make people excited. Wang Shijing also discovered a large red sour fruit. After Shao Yunan's careful determination, it looks like a goat's milk fruit. This goat milk fruit tastes sweet and sour, can be eaten raw, can also provide food coloring, and more importantly, it can make wine!

Shao Yunan remembered that the goat's milk he had seen in his "last life" had no fruit in June and July, but here it is in September and there are still fruit, and the fruit is still quite fresh, some are ripe purple, and some are unripe golden yellow. This goat's milk bush is a large shrub two or three meters high, and the ground is covered with thick fallen fruits that have been corrupted. Shao Yunan seriously suspects that the fruiting period of goat milk here is longer than that of modern times. But this is a good thing for Shao Yunan, this is money!

"Brother Ishii, remember this place. We will come again tomorrow and pick all these! This can be used for wine and jam!"

Shao Yunan picked two, and he ate one first, it was sweet and sour, delicious! Then he stuffed one into Wang Shijing's mouth. Wang Shijing's one eye was a little curved, and Shao Yunan reached out and took off his blindfold: "It's just you and me here, don't wear it. Is it delicious?"

Wang Shijing didn't grab his blindfold, but said, "Everyone in the Red Sour Fruit Village will pick it up when they see it in the mountains, and use it as a snack. No one comes here, I'll pick it up with you tomorrow."

Shao Yunan rolled his eyes: "Then let's come earlier, so that no one can see it. I want all of these."

"Okay."

Shao Yunan really didn't have goat's milk in his space, so he quickly picked a handful of goat's milk fruit and threw it into the space when Wang Shijing turned around. Sure enough, there is no way out of the sky! With Wang Shijing, a more reliable person, and this mountain, he does not say that he is rich here, but his life is definitely guaranteed! Half of the big stone in his heart was removed, and Shao Yunan felt much more relaxed.

Wang Shijing, who was walking in front, also felt Shao Yunan's ease and joy, and squeezed Shao Yunan's wrist slightly. Could he also look forward to a real home?

Before seeing the shadow of the tea tree, Wang Shijing's basket was almost full. Shao Yunan found a wild peach tree, the peaches were very small, Shao Yunan picked a few, and the rest would come back tomorrow and the day after. What makes Shao Yunan most happy about this peach tree is not the peaches, but the peach gum, which is a beauty-enhancing thing, of course, all of them must be picked. If it weren't for the space being exposed, Shao Yun'an would never have kept these things until tomorrow. There are also fungus, stone ear, wild chrysanthemum and the like. As long as he sees something that can be used and eaten and can be taken away today, he will definitely scavenge it.

After two stubble of sweat on Shao Yunan's body, Wang Shijing stopped again, pointed to the front and said, "Yunan, do you think that is a tea tree?"

Shao Yunan immediately walked up to Wang Shijing excitedly. Looking forward, he exclaimed, "Ancient tea tree! There is an ancient tea tree here!"

Shao Yunan put down the basket with bright eyes and ran over. Wang Shijing also put down the back basket and hurriedly followed. In front of it is an ancient tea forest, and there are a dozen or so trees. In modern society, ancient tea forests are only scattered in the southwest region. Shao Yunan never imagined that there would be ancient tea forests in this ordinary village!

Shao Yunan patted his forehead. This is the ancient times that was not polluted by the environment or made public by people. The tea trees it has must be big trees of the arbor type! It's not normal for the ancient tea trees to form again! Shao Yunan picked a leaf and put it in his mouth to chew, his breathing changed, it was definitely more than three hundred years! If these tea trees are transplanted into his space, no, they don’t need to transplant all of them. Even if the branches are transplanted in, they can get the best tea that he knows, and that the whole world can’t have!

Shao Yunan grabbed Wang Shijing and said excitedly, "I want all the tea trees here to be mine! Mine!"

Wang Shijing's blind eyes smiled: "Okay, we bought this mountain, and everything here will be yours in the future."

"Buy, buy, buy! Must buy!" Shao Yunan worried again, "I can't buy it now, will anyone come over? These are all mine."

Wang Shijing couldn't help but patted Shao Yunan, telling him not to worry: "No one from the village will come to this mountain. We can just buy our land and new house at the foot of the mountain, and then buy a few acres of wild land into the mountain pass. Someone will come. When we can buy it, we will buy this mountain."

"Brother Ishii, it's great to have you!" Shao Yunan licked his lips, he couldn't wait to taste the taste of tea from thousands of years ago. Making money is secondary!

Wang Shijing liked Shao Yunan's appearance, patted him again to calm him down, and said, "I'll go pick tea for you."

Shao Yunan regained his senses, ran to his back basket and took out several cloth pockets, then ran back and stuffed four of them to Wang Shijing, saying, "I'll see what leaves to pick first, and then we'll split up."

Wang Shijing disagreed: "This tree is tall, I'll pick it for you, you can tell me what leaves to pick. If we can't finish picking today, we'll come back tomorrow."

Shao Yunan wanted to pick all these ancient tea leaves immediately, but he was really not a good tree climber. These ancient tea trees were all very tall, but that also meant that the tea leaves would be of high quality! Shao Yunan took a deep breath to calm himself, and then said, "Then I'll teach you how to pick it."

Tea is usually picked with one bud and one leaf, or one bud with two leaves, and one bud with three leaves or four leaves, and sometimes only young buds are picked as needed. It is autumn now, and the quality of tea is not as good as in spring. This is Shao Yunan's most regrettable place. If it is before the spring rain, the tea leaves that are picked are the most fragrant. However, Shao Yunan is confident that autumn tea can also be made with high-quality taste. What's more, even autumn tea will definitely be sought after here.

Wang Shijing listened carefully to Shao Yunan's explanation on how to pick tea correctly, and after watching Shao Yunan's demonstration again, he climbed the tree. What makes Shao Yunan even happier is that these ancient tea trees have associated crab legs. Crab feet are elves on ancient trees. Shao Yunan had only seen it on ancient Pu'er trees before. This ancient tea forest is more towards Longjing. The ancient tree of Longjing has long since disappeared in modern times, and it is only lucky to see crab legs on such an ancient tree.

This crab's feet look a bit like small corals, but also like crab's feet. No one has ever visited this ancient tea forest. The crab legs on the branches have tender green newly grown feet and dark yellow aged feet. It smells of strong bacteria and algae and tea fragrance.

Wild crab legs are very valuable medicinal materials, and the taste is sweet, refreshing and sweet. Some old tea farmers believe that wild crab legs grow together with ancient tea trees, absorb the aura of tea trees, and become essences themselves, which are used to make water. Drinking can detoxify. The only thing to note is that crab legs are cold and should not be eaten too much. Pregnant women should also be careful. Crab feet can be stewed with chicken. Shao Yunan has drank the tea brewed with crab legs and Pu'er, and the taste is very special. The crab legs that grow on the ancient tree of Longjing must be eaten together with Longjing, and it must have a unique flavor.

After Wang Shijing picked the crab legs, he dropped the tree, and Shao Yunan picked it up and put it in the basket. There are twenty-one ancient trees that can be seen around, and it is hard to say whether there are still deeper. Wang Shijing was worried that Shao Yunan would run away alone and did not let him go. Shao Yunan told himself not to be greedy. In modern society, every single one found is a big news. There are twenty-one trees here, even if there are still deep in the forest, and even if they cannot be harvested, there is no regret.

Wang Shijing worked tirelessly to pick tea tree by tree, and he would ask Shao Yunan on the tree if he was uncertain. It was not until Shao Yunan was hungry himself that he realized that Wang Shijing had been on the tree for a long time, and he had already picked half of the ancient trees. He hurriedly said with guilt: "Brother Ishii, come down, take a rest, eat something and drink some water, I forgot the time."

"I'm not tired. I'll go down after picking this tree."

When Wang Shijing said this, Shao Yunan felt even more guilty. He also realized that Wang Shijing only has one eye, and such high-intensity picking will be more tiring than ordinary people.

The more Shao Yunan thought about it, the more guilty he became. He took out the water bottle from the back basket, then turned to the position behind Wang Shijing, quickly took out the bottle of spiritual milk, and poured a small drop of spiritual milk into the water bottle. The water in the kettle itself was filled with spiritual spring water, and now a drop of spiritual milk was added, and Shao Yunan didn't care whether Wang Shijing found something strange.

After another long time, Wang Shijing, who had finally finished picking, came down from the tree sweating, and Shao Yunan immediately stepped forward with a cloth towel in his hand. He poured some water from the kettle on the cloth and handed it over: "Quick wipe."

Wang Shijing brought it over, wiped his face, wiped his eyes, and a coolness hit his forehead instantly, which made Ah, who was a little tired, immediately cheered up a lot. The burning left eye was also relieved immediately.

"Let's go back after a break and eat something, and come back tomorrow for the rest."

Wang Shijing, who wiped his face and eyes, said, "There are still half of them left. After picking them, I will go back. I am not tired. I remember that there is a place where there are many tea trees. It is probably here. I am afraid of wild animals and it is not safe to go deeper. We won't be here tomorrow after picking, we can go to pick goat's milk and peaches."

Shao Yunan felt guilty and grateful, and hurriedly handed over the kettle: "Drink some water, I'll go get dry food."

Wang Shijing took the kettle and took a big mouthful of it. Immediately afterwards, his one eye was rounded, this water! Looking at Shao Yunan, who was bent over to take dry food, Wang Shijing slowly swallowed the unusually sweet water in his mouth, took another gulp, and walked over.

The two found a protruding tree root to sit, each one sips of water and one sip of dry biscuits. In order to ease the guilt in his heart, Shao Yunan had nothing to say: "When these teas are ready, I will go to the shopkeeper of Diezhuang Pavilion. The owner behind him is from the capital, and many shops in the county, including Yizhang Xuan, are the same person. The owner opened it. His owner is definitely interested in this tea. I dare to say that the tea I made is definitely the only one in Dayan, and it is rare and expensive, and it will definitely sell for a high price."

"Well, definitely."

Wang Shijing's unhesitating trust over and over again made Shao Yunan particularly heartbroken. If Wang Shijing always asked him why or got to the bottom of it, he would be very troubled. Wang Shijing did not ask much, and supported him wholeheartedly, which was the biggest reason why Shao Yunan could stay at ease.

"However, if I let the villagers know, I am afraid that this forest will not be able to be preserved, so I have to find a few small businesses that make money to cover up. I may collect tea from the villagers in the future, but not now, the way of picking tea is very good. Pay attention, otherwise it will be wasted.”

Wang Shijing said: "You can wait for us to buy this mountain forest and then collect it from the villagers. Before collecting it, we can teach everyone how to pick it. You can ask Li Zheng to come forward."

Shao Yunan nodded after being taught, and then said, "I just said that the small business I thought of was making sesame paste."

"Tahini?" Wang Shijing heard back.

Shao Yun'an said: "It's a sauce made of black sesame or white sesame. It can be mixed with cold noodles in summer, and it can be eaten with meat and side dishes with other seasonings in winter. When making sesame sauce, you can also make sesame oil for cooking and soup. Anything can be used. We can make it at home and sell it in the county, or we can see if Yizhangxuan accepts it. If it sells well, we can also collect sesame seeds from the villagers." After drinking the dictation, Shao Yunan still put him on the table. The idea came out, "I plan to focus on tea and wine for the main business of the family in the future, and I can think of other small businesses that we can hire people to do, or directly sell favors to others, which can be regarded as transferring everyone. attention. What do you think?"

Wang Shijing nodded again and again: "You have a lot of ideas, and I will listen to you. It's good to sell personal favors. Now there are many people staring at our family. If our family is richer, there will be people in the village, and there will be more gossip. If there are a lot of wealthy people in the village, we will also save trees and attract wind. For example, the Fourth Uncle, Sun Uncle, and Zhou Uncle’s family are all good. If we can bring the patriarch and the Lizheng family together, our family will have less trouble in the future.”

Shao Yun'an said: "It's up to you to decide who to sell to at that time, and the choice is up to you. If you don't go up the mountain tomorrow, you have to spread the tea out to dry when you go back today. If you can't order the iron pot in time, take out the one at home first. One is used, and the dried tea has to be fried. I will draw a picture, label the size, you will go to the county town tomorrow to order the pot, and order two first. When the tea is ready, we will go into the mountain to pick the goat's milk."

Wang Shijing said: "Teach me how to make tea. In the future, there will be more tea leaves, and you will be too busy by yourself. You have to teach Qing Ge'er and Nizi to read, which will make you tired."

Shao Yunan couldn't help but glance at Wang Shijing who said this seriously, and smiled: "I must teach you first. We can't focus on small workshops, we will open tea houses in the future. You Don't know how to talk business with people, how to manage people under them?"

Wang Shijing was stunned. He didn't expect that Shao Yunan would be willing to let him intervene, and he didn't expect that Shao Yunan would say such a thing. The meaning of the words seemed to really treat him as the master.

Shao Yunan looked at the ancient tea trees and said, "I don't hide it from you. I didn't want it at first. It's not because you're blind and you have two children, it's just because I don't know you well. Personally, it's just like this, married, I can't like it."

Wang Shijing pursed his lips.

"But after you split up the family so bluntly, I don't think it's that bad to stay." Turning to look at the silent Wang Shijing, Shao Yunan said with a light smile, "We have only been married for three or four days, and the days to come will be long. ,Right?"

Wang Shijing raised his eyes and said, "Well, the days to come will continue. In the past, I couldn't protect Qing Ge'er's mother, but I won't let you suffer like Qing Ge'er's mother's grievance. You will talk about family affairs in the future. Forget it."

Shao Yunan burst out laughing: "You are in charge."

Wang Shijing said seriously: "Whoever has an idea in our family will be in charge. In the future, the family makes money, and you will be in charge."

Shao Yunan snorted again, this man who looked older than 26 years old actually reminded him of the word "cute" at this moment.
