Shen Xuening and Zhou Fu talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the tea trees where the workers were fertilizing them.

Dig a hole next to the tea tree, put fertilizer in the hole, fill the hole and bury the fertilizer.

The fertilizer we are using now is the one brought from Shen Xuening, not the one Zhou Fu used before. After being buried, the tea trees will definitely grow better.

Everyone greeted Shen Xuening.

Shen Xuening smiled and nodded. Her beautiful appearance and approachable attitude won everyone's favor.

Zhou Fu thought Shen Xuening didn't understand, so he explained, "Bury the fertilizer underground so that it won't be washed away when it rains. Besides, this is organic fertilizer and it can also nourish the soil, killing two birds with one stone."

Shen Xuening nodded: "I understand."

Zhou Fu added: "When spring arrives and the average temperature stabilizes above 10°C, the dormant buds will begin to wake up and gradually unfold their scales, fish leaves, and true leaves."

The buds are also often called "dormant buds".

True leaves are what we call tea leaves in our daily life.

The fish leaf is also named "fetal leaf".

"In spring, tea trees usually begin to sprout around early March. If the soil fertility of the tea garden is good and the management is proper, the tea trees will sprout early, the buds and leaves will be fertile, and the yield will be high."

"This is when the first wave of tea can be picked, and after that, summer begins."

"Tea trees grow very fast in the summer. The high temperature and long sunshine hours in summer lead to vigorous photosynthesis and accelerated growth, but the tea yield is low and the quality is poor, so tea is generally not picked."

"However, if the tea trees are growing well, a small amount of picking can be done during this period, but attention should be paid to arranging the time and quantity reasonably."

"Autumn is the coolest season of the year and the last growing season for tea trees."

"Tea trees can continue to grow in autumn, but because the temperature is lower, water evaporation is less, the soil is rich in nutrients, the tea trees have high photosynthesis efficiency, and the sugar content in the leaves will also increase, so the quality of the tea will be better."

"In addition, tea trees also sprout in autumn, when the temperature is the highest in the year. Therefore, the picking period of autumn tea is longer and the quality is better."

“The first tea leaves of autumn are usually picked around mid-October.”

"Autumn tea is of relatively better quality and generally commands a higher price. Due to climatic conditions, autumn tea should not be picked too early or too late. Picking too early will lead to the loss of nutrients and a reduction in aroma, while picking too late will affect the quality of the tea."

"Therefore, autumn tea should be picked before mid-October."

"Tea leaves cannot be picked in winter because tea trees have a dormant habit and their new shoots stop growing in winter. Therefore, tea leaves cannot be picked in winter."

Shen Xuening listened to Zhou Fu's popular science and gradually gained more knowledge: "Old man, these are all things you are used to doing. You can arrange them when the time comes."

Zhou Fu nodded: "I know, but I still need to tell you something."

Shen Xuening said, "When you're picking tea leaves, you can tell me on WeChat and I'll come over to see you when I'm free."

Zhou Fu hesitated for a moment and said, "In the past, the tea here was always shipped fresh. Is that the case with you?"

Shen Xuening said: "No, I can process it into various tea-based foods."

Zhou Fu added: "In spring, we need to harvest about 180 tons of fresh tea leaves, in summer only 50 tons, and in autumn 250 tons."

Shen Xuening thought to herself that with her fertilizer, the tea production would definitely increase. As long as the weather was good this year, there would definitely be a good harvest. She really needed to plan how to use the tea leaves.

However, spring tea is not picked until March, so there is still time to arrange.

"I see. I'll make the arrangements." Shen Xuening changed the subject, "Grandpa, do you know anyone who's good at tea frying?"

Zhou Fu's eyes lit up: "You want to hire someone to make tea?"

Shen Xuening said frankly: "Yes, I plan to arrange for some good tea to be roasted manually, and then I can sell it for a good price."

Zhou Fu smiled and said, "Then I can introduce you to a few masters. They are all very skilled in tea frying. It's just that there is no tea to fry now, so they don't do it anymore."

Shen Xuening asked: "Can you introduce me now?"

Zhou Fu immediately said, "Sure, sure, in our village. Many people in our village will grow tea in the future. It will become a large tea-growing village, but in the end, I am the only one who persisted."

Shen Xuening said happily: "Grandpa's persistence finally benefited me."

Zhou Fu waved his hand and said, "That's not the truth. You saved me. Otherwise, I would be in trouble if I continued to run this tea garden, and I would be in trouble if I didn't. I would be caught in a dilemma."

Shen Xuening encouraged him: "Everything will be fine in the future."

Zhou Fu nodded: "Of course I will."

As the two were talking, Zhou Fu took Shen Xuening to the village and introduced her to several veteran craftsmen he had mentioned.

After talking with them, Shen Xuening decided on the person who would roast the tea.

The old craftsmen were also very happy. Their tea-roasting skills were originally worthless, and now Shen Xuening hired them for a large sum of money, which was like a pie in the sky.

Shen Xuening planned to use the tea leaves in several ways: the best tea leaves would be fried into dry tea for sale, the second best would be made into tea cakes, the next best would be used to produce tea drinks, and the worst would be used to cook tea eggs.

Among them, tea eggs are produced in the original factory.

We have to rent a new factory to make tea, cakes and tea drinks. It is too late to build a factory now, so we can only rent one from outside. If the business is not good, we can just stop doing this business and not waste a factory.

The requirements for the place to fry dry tea are not high. You only need a pot and stove, which can be built in a short time. If you are afraid of rain, you can just build a shed.

Shen Xuening has already arranged for the staff to rent a factory. There is no news yet, but there should be news soon.

……

early morning.

Shen Xuening ate breakfast, then changed into tight mountaineering clothes and walked into the mountains.

After they reached a deserted place, Shen Xuening released the ginseng doll from the space, and the two walked into the mountains together.

The ginseng doll looked at Shen Xuening and said teasingly, "You are really busy every day."

Shen Xue Ning said helplessly, "That's not true. Since I started working, I haven't had a single day off. Today is the last free day I've had."

The ginseng doll took out two lollipops from her pouch and handed one to Shen Xuening: "Here, have something sweet."

Shen Xuening took the lollipop puzzledly: "Who gave you the lollipop?"

The ginseng doll snorted: "I bought it myself."

"Your ability to store food is pretty good then." Shen Xue Ning couldn't help laughing. "I remember I gave you 10,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year. By the way, do you have any money left?"

The ginseng doll spread his hands and said, "No more. I spent it all a long time ago."

Shen Xuening said: "Then why don't you tell me."

The ginseng doll laughed dryly: "Sorry."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Is the phone I gave you still there?"

Ginseng Doll took out his phone and shook it: "Yes, I also use it to listen to music."

Shen Xuening took out her phone and transferred 50,000 yuan to Ginseng Doll's phone: "I'll transfer some money to you on WeChat. Go buy whatever you want. You can use mobile payment, right?"

The ginseng doll said without hesitation, "Of course I will. I'm so smart."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Anyway, if you don't understand, just ask me."

"No problem." The ginseng doll happily put away his phone, then continued on his way with full concentration. His goal today was to find at least one thousand-year-old ginseng.

After walking for about half an hour, the ginseng doll stopped and patted his head. Soon, many animals came running over and surrounded them.

This scene made Shen Xue Ning a little nervous. She stood there motionless, not daring to move at all.

The ginseng doll pointed his sword at his forehead, and then saw golden dots flying out from his forehead. Those golden dots flew into the heads of the animals, one golden dot for each animal.

After the golden dot flew into the animal's head, the animal left.

In just a few minutes, all the animals that had just surrounded them dispersed, as if everything that had just happened was Shen Xue Ning's illusion.

Seeing that Shen Xuening was a little confused, the ginseng doll smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you shocked by my bravery and martial arts?"

Shen Xuening smiled, hiding the emotion that had just been revealed: "What do you think?"

The ginseng doll answered confidently: "Definitely."

Shen Xuening didn't want to admit it, so she quickly changed the subject: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and lead the way."

The ginseng doll blinked its bright eyes, looking as if it was about to ask me: "Are you really not going to ask me what I did just now?"

Shen Xue Ning asked, "Are you asking those animals to help us find thousand-year-old ginseng?"

The ginseng doll was deflated: "So you guessed it."

Shen Xuening was furious: "It's so obvious, anyone who's not a fool would know it, okay?"

The ginseng doll waved its hands and said, "Forget it. You're very smart, so it's normal for you to guess. Let's go. Now that we have so many animals to help us find it, we can travel easily."

Shen Xuening asked anxiously, "Can they find it?"

The ginseng doll vowed: "As long as you believe in my ability, they will definitely be found."

Shen Xuening looked directly at the back of the ginseng doll's head and said, "Then I believe in your ability."

The ginseng doll puffed out his chest and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely find the thousand-year-old ginseng today."

Shen Xue Ning did not comment.

The ginseng doll looked back at Shen Xuening and said, "No one has come into this mountain, so there must be a lot of good things. Let's find some and put them in our space to grow. Your space is too empty, and even if you planted some plants in it before, it still looks monotonous."

She already had a lot of precious things, so Shen Xuening didn't care anymore: "You can do whatever you want."

The ginseng doll nodded: "Let me see what good things I can find for you."

Shen Xue Ning was looking forward to it.

Ginseng Doll found a good thing, the "Golden Camellia," whose golden color is extremely rare and is known as the "Giant Panda of the Plant World." "How is it?"
