In the past, if someone made such a request, Wang Jinquan would never agree. Although the mother tree on Erlang Mountain is not the best Pu-erh tea tree, it is at least well-known in southern Yunnan and is also the owner of the entire Zhicheng Group. Core competitiveness, if the branches are stolen and used for grafting and breeding, it will be a huge threat to Zhicheng Group.

But now Wang Jinquan doesn't need to think about this. As long as he takes good care of the two in front of him, the entire Zhicheng Group will be the property of the Su Group after the contract is signed tomorrow, and the mother tree on Erlang Mountain will naturally become Without the assets of the Su Group, what else do I have to worry about?

So, he immediately agreed and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, you two, I will make arrangements right now!"

Soon, the security guards who were on duty 24 hours a day guarding the mother tree on Erlang Mountain were withdrawn.

All surveillance cameras on Erlang Mountain have also had their power supply cut off.

After doing all this well, Wang Jinquan said courteously: "The two of you may not know much about the situation of Zhicheng Mountain. It may be inconvenient to climb the mountain at such a night without a guide. How about I go up with you?"

Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er exchanged glances, and seeing that Lin Wan'er seemed reluctant, he said to Wang Jinquan: "No need for Director Wang, we have already learned about the situation of Zhicheng Group and Zhicheng Mountain. , please try to maintain it at the bottom of the mountain, and don�t let anyone except 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 take care of the rest!"

Wang Jinquan got two bright flashlights for Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er, took them to the intersection up the mountain, and then stopped following them up the mountain.

Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er went up the mountain and found no trace of anyone else along the way, and all the surveillance cameras had indeed been powered off.

Since Erlang Mountain has been operated by Zhicheng Group for many years, Zhicheng Group has built the entire Erlang Mountain into a layer-by-layer terraced field model, and a large number of tea trees are planted on each layer.

In addition, Zhicheng Group has also built a stone step road up the mountain and a freight ropeway specially used to transport fresh tea.

When the tea harvest season comes, the workers walk up the mountain to pick it. After picking a certain amount of each layer, the tea is collected and transported down the mountain by cableway for processing.

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

Seeing her tasting all the way, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "How's the quality of these tea leaves?"

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly, and said to Ye Chen: "The higher the level of the tea here, the better the quality, but the overall level is still a lot worse, and it can't reach high quality, but the new teas seem to have this kind of problem now. , For so many years, the good Pu-erh tea I have drunk, except for the tea produced by the mother of Pu-cha, all the rest are tea cakes with a history of more than a hundred years. The new teas in recent years are actually Neither are good."

With that said, Lin Wan'er said again: "My family thinks that this should also have something to do with the development of science and technology. The tea trees in the past couldn't grow as densely as they do now. In other words, the output of the current tea varieties is at least more than three times as much as before;�

"Besides, the tea leaves in the past did not grow in such a good shape. Now the tea leaves are plump and have a very good color. What's more, they can control pests very well, so the yield rate is also very high. It grows more and is less damaged, so the overall output is much stronger than in ancient times."

"In recent years, the same is true of tea breeding ideas. The higher the yield, the better the appearance, the better the appearance, and the stronger the pest resistance, the better. Combined with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the output per unit area will naturally increase geometrically. ;"

Having said that, Lin Wan'er changed the subject, and said again: "However, with the continuous cultivation of new varieties in this direction, the yield and yield rate have increased, but the taste of tea is actually getting lower. If there is a chance, I can try to reverse it in the future. The direction is to cultivate new varieties to see if we can get back the taste of tea from that year, but the premise is to find a good planting tree first, and the good planting tree that my family said is to inherit as many tea tree genes as possible , not a variety that has been improved by technology now."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Aren't we still going to Banna? Where the mother of Pucha grew up, we should be able to find her descendants, right?"

Lin Wan'er couldn't help but said with some anticipation: "I also think so. When I was in Banna, I once taught the local tea farmers how to use the mother plant of Pucha for grafting and breeding. I just don't know that so many years have passed. Is there anyone who continues to breed the daughter plants of the mother of pucha? If I can find them in Banna this time, I will bring some back and cultivate them here."

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

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

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

Seeing that her body was trembling slightly, Ye Chen couldn't help asking her: "Should it be here?"

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

As she spoke, she couldn't help feeling: "Hundreds of years is an unimaginable time span for people, but for a tree, there is almost no change. After three hundred years, it is still here, although It's a little thicker and thicker, but it hasn't changed much in appearance."

Immediately, she pointed to a bowl-sized scar on the tree trunk, and said to Ye Chen: "At that time, my family used this scar as a mark, and buried my parents' ashes three steps away from the scar."

After finishing speaking, she took three steps along the direction of the tree scar. JrNovels.com
