Chapter 1301

Compared to Liu Liu's ambition and determination to make money, the others who came to join the fun seemed much more peaceful.

Especially the top-ranked brother Nian Xu, who carried a basket and was twisting and turning: "I see that only women are picking tea. As a big man, it's a bit embarrassing to be mixed in."

Brother Cut-Stomach said expressionlessly: "Why, am I not a man?"

Not only him, there were four other big men beside him, all carrying baskets! Everyone came here to recuperate, so why do they have to be the background board?

Everyone stared at him, and Nian Xu couldn't help but be silent: "Mainly... life is quite good here, my tea picking technique is not good, and I have to go to earn money, it's embarrassing..."

That's true. After all, they have never done this work. The tea leaves in Yunqiao Village have a light taste, and the spring tea is mainly based on soft Maojian—that is, the leaf tips that haven't unfolded on the stems. There are many fat people among them, and their fingers are short and fat. If they stand in the field for half a day, they won't be able to pick many tea leaves...

That would be so embarrassing.

Just as they were struggling, Sister Self-Study passed by them with a basket, and while walking, she looked down on them: "Dawdling. We are the ones who came to work, and the boss hasn't picked on us, but you guys are the first to be weak."

"What? Are you all so unconfident when you work? No wonder you couldn't get promoted or get a raise for so many years, and even ruined your health, it's understandable."

She has an outgoing personality and chats with people coming and going in the village in the canteen every day. Now her dialect tone is much more natural.

Everyone stared at the young people and looked them over, each holding their breath!

Picking tea, in the eyes of villagers, has no difficulty at all, and since it's not yet freezing, it's not very hard work.

Half a day?!

The tea seedlings are growing vigorously, and some have been interplanted with early-maturing watermelons.

"The Maojian on every tea tree should be picked as cleanly as possible. If not picked cleanly, they will grow into leaves later. The tea tree will feel that it has grown enough, and the buds that grow out again will be thin and heavy, which is not good to pick later."

The tea mountain they came to is not the original tea garden of the old Song family near the chestnut orchard, but a larger tea mountain that originally belonged to Old Man Li, which has more than ten mu of old tea trees and hundreds of mu of tea seedlings.

Whoever sees it in the village, wouldn't they say the old Song family is capable?

"Our company's cleaning lady gets 2500 a month and is still picked on!"

And in front of them, it's not just us, but also this group of young men and women—if our quality is too poor when picking Maojian, there are so many employees here, if Wu Lan really doesn't hire us, wouldn't it be our own loss?

That's true.

So heartbreaking!

Sister Danran has been recuperating for a while, and now her cheeks are plump and she has a good complexion. Her breath is fuller than before when she speaks: "Don't say that, didn't you come yourself?"

Even sharper!

Besides...

Wu Lan also smiled: "Working the night shift here counts as overtime, and they came from all over the country, so just treat it as Qiao Qiao's classmates!"

There is a rich young guy among our colleagues who often hears me say I want to spend a lot of money to buy tea. If I can get three or five liang, I don't know if it's okay to sell it directly to him?

"Besides, if you have no experience, it's best for each person to choose a row and pick slowly. Because if you run around, the people behind will pick the tea trees you have already picked, and the efficiency will become much slower."

The youngest of the three, a round-eyed girl with the least social experience, giggled: "Why think so much? Just treat it as an alternative spring outing! If we pick too little, just treat it as us working for free for the boss for half a day. If it's still not possible, then earn it with peace of mind!"

Wow!!!

Once this was said, Nian Xu, the young master who was still a bit uncomfortable, was full of energy! Liu Liu was even faster, concentrating on it!

Thinking of money, thinking of children, she became even more excited!

Everyone doesn't know how much the tea leaves are worth, but in the legends, how can expensive tea leaves be as real as money? What's more, every household has a little bit of tea leaves. What we have to do is to speed up, don't let the young people get ahead of us!

And we, earning money, recuperating, and can get tea leaves!

"No overtime, no socializing, no superiors, as long as the attitude is serious, it doesn't matter if you pick more or less, where can you find such a good job?"

Everyone quickly calculated in their hearts—I heard that skilled workers here can pick 4 jin a day, which is two jin for half a day. We are inexperienced, one jin is fine, right?

Wu Lan also shouted: "Don't bring the leaves, otherwise we won't give you such a good price."

The aunt in the same village laughed: "Oh, just giving it to the young people, we don't have any?"

And the old tea trees were carefully pruned after being taken over last winter. After a whole winter of fertilization and cultivation, plus the suitable weather this spring, a layer upon layer of green, soft, and tender leaves has grown.

"What, the money you earn must be several times more than ours? Still envious of that?"

How much dry tea does one jin of Maojian produce? About two and a half liang.

While talking, let them look at the aunts who have already skillfully tied the baskets to their waists, picking tea leaves quickly with one or both hands.

After all, I heard that these are all people from big cities on vacation... tsk, people in big cities really don't know how to enjoy life!

Who wouldn't be tempted by that! Who doesn't know the tea leaves of Qiao Qiao's family. From 10,000 per jin at the beginning, to selling by the gram later, it has to be snatched every day!

But it makes sense.

The vegetables are grown well, and the tea leaves are also raised so spiritedly!

Now, Wu Lan is reminding the novices: "Our family has just enough tea pickers, you just treat it as coming to play, as long as the tea leaves picked are qualified."

The young people didn't know how many calculations an experienced old farmer would have in his heart. They watched, learned, and then chose a row one by one, tied the basket to their waists, and carefully pinched a handful of Maojian to take a photo and post it on Moments!

While talking, everyone followed the main force to the tea mountain.

And here, the experienced Wu Lan didn't forget to draw a big cake: "You practice more, and when you are skilled, you can pick more. When you leave, we will leave you half a day to pick tea leaves. Whatever you pick, we will stir-fry it for you as a souvenir."

This is half-joking and half-serious. The aunts in the village naturally know it—Maojian and buds, the weight and efficiency are naturally very different. Originally, because of the high price of 50 per jin, everyone had small calculations, but now that Wu Lan has reminded them, they are embarrassed.

However, Maojian can't be given. Wu Lan added: "If you are still free when picking summer tea, let you pick for half a day each?"

Okay! Let's start work!
