Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

The night boating trip on the Qinhuai River was a successful conclusion to the first day of Jinling trip.

The next day, Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun followed the address given by the tea shop owner and arrived near the legendary Qingshan Mountain.

After arriving, Zhao Zhuo looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but said in surprise:

"It turns out that the so-called Qingshan is not a mountain, but an entire area."

What they saw before them was a continuous mountainous area, with several undulating mountains in it.

Zhang Yun felt a little strange when she saw this and suggested:

"Why don't we ask someone first? It will be embarrassing if we look in the wrong place."

Regarding this suggestion, Zhao Zhuo also nodded in agreement.

By chance, there was a tea shed nearby, and the two of them walked over.

The so-called tea shed is a shed set up on the roadside to boil water. If people passing by want to drink tea, they can go over and ask for a cup. It is usually made by old men and the price of tea is very cheap.

The tea shed they saw also had two tables inside, and an old man was boiling water.

"Uncle, please have two cups of tea."

"good."

Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun found a seat and sat down, and the old man came over carrying a pot of water.

First, he placed two cups in front of the two of them, rinsed them with boiling hot water, poured out the water in the cups, poured eight-tenths of the hot water into them, and then took out a tea can.

, and threw a few Biluochun into two cups.

Seeing this scene, when the old man walked away, Zhang Yun couldn't help but curiously asked Zhao Zhuo in a low voice:

"Why is this different from the brewing method we drank in the store last night?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo smiled and explained:

"Biluochun has two methods of soaking. One is the conventional soaking method you saw yesterday, and the other is the pouring method. That is, first pour hot water into the cup like this, and then pour it in.

tea.

Because the particles of Biluochun are distinct, this second unique brewing method is developed. This method is more suitable for one person to use when drinking tea."

After hearing this explanation, Zhang Yun suddenly realized.

The old man on the side also heard what Zhao Zhuo said and couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhuo curiously and said:

"Young man, you know tea very well."

Zhao Zhuo smiled faintly:

"I like it more, but I can't say I understand it very well."

When the old man saw Zhao Zhuo being so humble, he couldn't help but feel more favorable towards him. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"You don't look like locals. What are you doing here? Playing?"

Zhao Zhuo shook his head:

"No, we just want to buy some tea."

When he heard that it was an acquisition rather than a purchase, the old man suddenly became energetic:

"Oh, I wonder how much you want to acquire?"

Zhao Zhuo did not answer directly, but asked:

"Old man, it seems that you also grow tea trees at home, right?"

The old man nodded:

"Yes, I have five acres of tea garden at home."

Zhao Zhuo then asked:

"How much tea do you have to sell, sir?"

Hearing this, the old man sighed subconsciously:

"Hey, forget it, the market is not good this year. Less than half of the newly picked tea leaves have been sold. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to build a tea shed to supplement my family income. It's not all just to make more money.

It’s money.”

Hearing what the old man said, Zhang Yun couldn't help but asked with some doubts:

"Isn't it said that Qingshan Biluochun is so famous that there is not enough tea to sell every year? Why is the market so bad?"

The old man smiled bitterly:

"Girl, what you are talking about is the top-quality Qingshan Biluochun from the top of Qingshan Mountain and those nearby. Biluochun of average quality that we grow at home is not worth much in the first place, and there are too many people growing it.

If the quantity is large, the market will be saturated and the price will be even higher.

Getting lower and lower."

It turns out that even though they are both Qingshan Biluochun, but come from different places, there is such a big difference in price.

After listening to the old man's words, Zhao Zhuo nodded, and then asked:

"Uncle, can you tell us the specific situation of Biluochun, a green mountain. I just came here and found that all the nearby mountains are planted with tea. I feel a little confused."

Hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, the old man smiled:

"I can't blame you for not understanding. In fact, the name Qingshan Biluochun is very general."

As he spoke, the old man introduced in detail:

"The so-called Qingshan Biluochun refers not only to the Biluochun produced on Qingshan, but also to the area surrounding Qingshan as the center.

Look at the tallest mountain in front of you, which is Qingshan. In addition, there are four or five other mountains surrounding Qingshan.

The difference in the price of tea lies in the different mountains."

As he said this, the old man pointed to the mountains one by one and introduced them one by one: qδ

"The Qingshan in the middle, the Biluochun produced on the top of the mountain is the top and most authentic Qingshan Biluochun. It is priceless but not marketable. It only weighs a few kilograms a year. Going down from the top of the mountain, the Biluochun produced can also be regarded as the authentic Qingshan Biluochun, but

The price will become cheaper and cheaper.

Counting further, the price of Biluochun produced from the two lower mountains near Qingshan is even lower. However, because the total amount of tea from the two tops of the mountain is also limited, the price is not low.

Further down, there are several other hills, which can be regarded as the same as camellia, but they are much worse than Qingshan."

After listening to the old man's explanation, Zhao Zhuo finally had a preliminary understanding of Qingshan Biluochun.

Then, Zhao Zhuo pointed to the foot of the mountain and the large tea gardens in the mountains and asked:

"Then what do you say about the tea produced in these tea gardens?"

The old man smiled and said:

"Strictly speaking, these are no longer part of Qingshan Biluochun, but the Qingshan area Biluochun."

Hearing the old man's interesting statement, Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly. They were both amused by the old man's humor.

Looking at the expressions of Zhao Zhuo and Zhang Yun, the old man also smiled bitterly and said:

"Don't believe it, the tea produced in these places is no different from ordinary tea.

And because the Qingshan Biluochun variety is more popular among locals, it often becomes unsaleable after being harvested in large quantities."

After hearing what the old man said, Zhao Zhuo nodded and said:

"It seems like your tea garden is at the foot of this mountain, right?"

The old man nodded:

"Yes, there is only so much space in this mountain, and it has been robbed by everyone for decades.

We ordinary people just grow tea at the foot of the mountain to make a living."

As he spoke, the old man pointed to the tea cups in front of the two of them:

"Hurry up and drink your tea. It will cool down soon. I'll refill it for you after you finish it."
