In Wang Jinquan's eyes, Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er are his gods of wealth. Since they want to go up the mountain, he will naturally cooperate fully.

So, he immediately said to the two: "Two distinguished guests, please wait, I will gather some manpower and bring more lighting equipment to accompany you up!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "No need, we are still in the stage of secret inspection, and we don't want to leak the news. You don't need to arrange it deliberately. Let others finish work and rest, withdraw all the staff and security guards on Zhicheng Mountain, and let the security guards stop all surveillance on Zhicheng Mountain. We two will go up and take a look."

In the past, if someone made such a request, Wang Jinquan would definitely not agree. Although the mother tree on Zhicheng Mountain is not the best Puer tea tree, it is also relatively famous in the Diannan area and is also the core competitiveness of the entire Zhicheng Group. If it is stolen by someone to graft and breed, it is a huge threat to the Zhicheng Group.

But now Wang Jinquan doesn't need to consider this layer. As long as he serves these two well, the contract will be signed tomorrow, and the entire Zhicheng Group will be the industry of the Su Group. The mother tree on Zhicheng Mountain will naturally become the asset of the Su Group. What else does he have to worry about?

So, he immediately agreed refreshingly and smiled: "Two, please wait, I will arrange it!"

Soon, the security guard who was on duty to guard the mother tree on Zhicheng Mountain 24 hours a day was withdrawn.

All surveillance on Zhicheng Mountain was also cut off from power supply.

After doing all this, Wang Jinquan said diligently: "Two may not understand the situation of Zhicheng Mountain. Going up the mountain so late, it may not be convenient without a guide. Should I accompany you two up?"

Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er exchanged glances. Seeing that Lin Wan'er seemed reluctant, he said to Wang Jinquan: "No need, Factory Manager Wang. We have already understood the situation of the Zhicheng Group before, and we have already understood the situation of Zhicheng Mountain. It is hard for you to maintain it at the foot of the mountain, and don't let anyone other than us go up the mountain."

Wang Jinquan said without hesitation: "No problem, no problem! You two can go up the mountain with confidence, I will arrange the rest!"

Wang Jinquan took two strong flashlights for Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er, took them to the entrance of the mountain, and didn't follow them up the mountain.

Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er went up the mountain all the way, and indeed didn't find any other traces, and all the surveillance probes were indeed powered off.

Since the Zhicheng Group has been operating at the foot of Erlang Mountain for many years, the Zhicheng Group has built the entire Erlang Mountain into a layer-by-layer terrace mode, and a large number of tea trees have been planted in each layer.

In addition, the Zhicheng Group also built a stone staircase road up the mountain, as well as a freight cableway specially used to transport fresh tea leaves.

When the tea harvest season arrives, workers walk up the mountain to pick, and after picking a certain amount in each layer, the tea leaves are concentrated and transported to the foot of the mountain for processing through the cableway.

On the way up the mountain, Lin Wan'er often picked a leaf from the tea tree at hand and chewed it gently in her mouth.

Ye Chen saw her tasting all the way and couldn't help asking: "How is the quality of these tea leaves?"

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly and said to Ye Chen: "The tea leaves here are better the further you go up, but the overall level is still much worse, and it can't reach a very high quality. However, it seems that new tea has this problem. Over the years, the good Puer tea I have drunk, except for the tea leaves produced by the Mother of Puer Tea at the beginning, the rest are all tea cakes with a history of more than a hundred years without exception. The tea leaves that have come out in recent years are actually not very good."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "The slave thinks that this should also have an inseparable relationship with the development of science and technology. In the past, tea trees, no matter what, could not grow as lush as they are now. In other words, the yield of tea varieties now is at least three times that of the past;"

"Moreover, in the past, tea leaves could not grow such good appearance. Now tea leaves are very full and the color is very good. What is more powerful is that they can control pests very well, so the finished product rate is also very high. They grow a lot originally and have few damages, so the overall yield is much stronger than in ancient times."

"In recent years, the breeding ideas for tea leaves are also like this: the higher the yield, the better, the more perfect the appearance, the better, the stronger the pest resistance, the better, combined with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the output efficiency per unit area is naturally increasing geometrically;"

Speaking of this, Lin Wan'er changed the subject and added: "However, by continuously cultivating new varieties in this direction, the yield and finished product rate have gone up, but the taste of tea leaves is actually continuously going down. If there is an opportunity, you can try to cultivate new varieties in the opposite direction to see if you can find the taste of tea leaves back then. But the premise is to find good trees first, and what the slave calls good trees are varieties that inherit the genes of tea trees back then as much as possible, not varieties improved by technology now."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Aren't we going to Banna? Where the Mother of Puer Tea grew back then, we should be able to find her descendants, right?"

Lin Wan'er also looked forward to it and said: "The slave also thinks so. When the slave was in Banna back then, I once taught local tea farmers how to use the mother plant of the Mother of Puer Tea for grafting and breeding. It's just that I don't know if anyone in the local area continues to breed the sub-strains of the Mother of Puer Tea after so many years. If we can find them this time in Banna, we will bring some back and cultivate them here."

The two chatted while walking, and the distance to the mountain peak was getting closer and closer.

As that huge tea tree got closer and closer, Lin Wan'er's mood became more and more excited.

Although more than three hundred years had passed, she still recognized this tea tree.

Ye Chen saw her body trembling slightly and couldn't help asking her: "It should be here, right?"

"It's here..." Lin Wan'er nodded heavily and whispered: "I can recognize this tree, even the scars on its body, I still remember."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh: "A few hundred years, for people, is an unimaginable time span, but for a tree, it has almost no change. After three hundred years, it is still here. Although it is more lush and thick, its appearance has not changed much."

Subsequently, she pointed to a bowl-sized tree scar on the trunk and said to Ye Chen: "The slave used this scar as a mark back then and buried the ashes of her parents at a distance of three steps away from the scar."

After finishing, she walked out three steps along the orientation formed by the tree scar.

After standing still, Lin Wan'er didn't shed tears. She just bowed down silently, touched the soil on the ground gently, and muttered in her mouth: "Dad, Mom, Wan'er is here to see you."

After such a long time, returning to the front of her parents' spirits for the first time, Lin Wan'er's mood was particularly complicated, but she was not very sad. While touching the land, she said: "Thank you for your protection in heaven, allowing Wan'er to pass so many years without danger. It's just that Wan'er is weak and unable to fight against Wu Feiyan, so she hasn't come to see you for so long. I hope you don't blame Wan'er..."

Ye Chen on the side saw this, only thinking about solving all the problems for Lin Wan'er as much as possible, so he said: "Miss Lin, don't worry. I will let the Su family build a helicopter landing pad here, and add a helicopter. In the future, if you want to come over, take the Su family's private plane directly from Jin Ling to Puer Airport, transfer to a helicopter without leaving the airport, and come here. When you go back, it is the same. Let the whole transportation process form a closed loop. Even if the Anti-Qing Society stops dormant, it is impossible to find you. By then, you can come over from Jin Ling often."

Lin Wan'er was stunned for a moment and said: "The slave thought that the Young Master went to great lengths to buy this place for the slave, just to let the slave live here in the future."

Ye Chen said hurriedly: "Don't, against Wu Feiyan and the Anti-Qing Society, I am afraid that I am not enough alone. Miss Lin knows the Anti-Qing Society very well. If you can stay in Jin Ling, you will definitely be able to provide me with a lot of help. As for here, I will ask people to hurry up and transform it, and then replace a batch of manpower here. After ensuring safety, Miss Lin can come over often."

Lin Wan'er was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile shallowly, and said softly: "Thank you, Young Master, for your trouble! Being able to share worries for the Young Master is the slave's blessing!"
