After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Next to the deserted official road, Zhu Jiangjiang had been walking on several hills less than [-] meters above sea level for most of the day.

She was watching to see how big the tea forest was.

After walking around for a while, she already knew it well,

It's just that no one has stepped into the tea forest for a long time, and weeds and bushes grow everywhere, and some even crush the tea trees.

Spring is a good time to pick tea. The tea leaves are fresh, sweet and tender green, so it’s a pity to leave them alone.

Looking at the tea trees all over the mountain, Zhu Jiangjiang made up his mind to pick tea!

"Xiaoyu, we're going back." Zhu Jiangjiang went down the mountain and shouted to the children who were making wreaths down the mountain, "Let's go."

Pei Xiaoyu likes to go out with her, and the children in the village also like to follow her.

Now, she has become the head of the children in Xiaohuang Village.

After returning to the village, Zhu Jiangjiang did not go home, but went directly to Xu Laogen's house.

After some questioning, Xu Laogen said that he didn't know who owned the tea forest on the official road, anyway, since he was born, he had never heard of the owner of that tea forest.

"That's it..." Zhu Jiangjiang nodded, as long as the tea forest has no owner.

Combined with what she observed on the mountain today, there are indeed many old tea trees in that tea forest, and the trees grow again after they die, so now there are fresh tea and ancient tea on the mountain.

"Sister-in-law, why are you asking this?" Xu Laogen asked her curiously.

He had noticed a long time ago that she had been paying attention to that tea forest, but there was nothing good about that tea forest. The tea trees didn't grow well, and no one in the village went there to chop firewood.

Zhu Jiangjiang did not hide the truth from Xu Laogen, and said bluntly: "Grandpa Xu, I want to ask everyone to help me clean up the tea forest, and I will cook for everyone."

After planting the land, the villagers are free again, so they will definitely help her with this.

"Clean up the tea forest?!"

Everyone in the village was called by the village chief's broken cymbal, and when they heard that Zhu Jiangjiang was going to clean up the tea forest, they all cast shocked glances at her.

Zhu Jiangjiang looked serious, "Yes, I want to make and sell tea!"

Everyone can't understand these words anymore.

Youngest Xu frowned, stroked the short stubble on his chin, and asked her, "Is it the same as selling vegetables when you talk about selling tea, you just pinch the leaves and sell it?"

In everyone's perception, those tea trees are nothing but leaves except for the roots, and the roots are firewood. If she wants to sell tea, she can only have those leaves.

But, will anyone buy leaves?

"It is to pinch the leaves, but instead of selling the leaves directly, it also needs to go through processes such as drying, frying, and twisting. Simply put, it is to make the bright green leaves into dry leaves." Zhu Jiangjiang explained briefly to everyone.

Everyone listened and fell silent.

Because they couldn't understand what Zhu Jiangjiang was saying.

"Anyway, I want to ask everyone to help me make tea together. I want to sell the tea and make money!"

There are many processes involved in making tea, and they can't understand it just by talking about it, so it's better for her to do it directly, and when the tea is made, they will naturally understand.

"Can this thing make money?" Someone expressed doubts.

"I've heard of it. It seems to be the case."

The fourth woman Wang who was standing in front of the crowd suddenly spoke and looked at Zhu Jiangjiang, "But that was something that happened when I was a child. No one knows whether it is true or not, and whether it will work or not."

Hearing this, Zhu Jiangjiang probably knew why there was that tea forest.

Perhaps someone really discovered the usefulness of tea before, but due to the immature tea-making process or other reasons, the tea could not be sold, so the tea forest was abandoned.

However, that person's failure will never happen to her!

"Whether tea can make money or not is my business. I just need everyone to help me with some work. I will bear all the consequences myself."

If tea is not drunk in this era, it will be difficult for tea to be accepted by the public.

But giving up is not in Zhu Jiangjiang's character, if she can succeed, just try it!

"It's not easy for you to find someone to work with. If you say a word, sister-in-law, everyone will definitely help, right?" Xu Laosan turned to everyone.

"Yes, sister-in-law, you treat us well, and you can do whatever you say."

Zhu Jiangjiang now seemed to be the most influential person in Xiaohuang Village other than the village chief.

There are mostly women and children in Xiaohuang Village. The children like her, and the adults can also chat with her.

As long as she asks, everyone is willing to help.

No, just after the spring planting, when all the villages were idle and the mountains returned to calm, Xiaohuang Village unexpectedly became lively again.

"Little fish, come out quickly, we are going to pick tea."

Early in the morning, Lu Cuihua brought a group of children to the door of Pei's house to call for help.

After Zhu Jiangjiang mobilized the whole village to help, Pei Xiaoyu and the children in the village spontaneously proposed to receive the task of picking tea.

They can follow the adults and pick tea in the tea forest where weeds and dead trees have been cleared, and they can pick a basket a day by themselves.

"coming."

Pei Xiaoyu hurriedly picked up the porridge in the bowl, finished it quickly, closed the door, and went up to the mountain to pick tea with everyone.

Zhu Jiangjiang is still the same as before, returning to work with everyone after killing pigs in the city.

Everyone in the village can see her hard work and desperation.

While everyone praised her for her ability, they also felt sorry for her. She was a widow at a young age, and now she is working so hard to support her sister-in-law. It is really not easy.

So when she asked for help, the elderly in their seventies and eighties in the village couldn't sit still.

Of course, Zhu Jiangjiang would not let the old people with bad legs and feet go to the mountains to take risks and work. She entrusted the old people in the village to weave bamboo strips.

After the tea leaves are picked, they need to be dried, which requires a lot of bamboo baskets and dustpans.

No, when Zhu Jiangjiang returned to the village from the city, he saw the old people in the village sitting together, chatting and weaving baskets.

Seeing her coming back, everyone greeted her with a smile.

"Little sister-in-law is back, how many pigs did you kill today?"

"Boss Niu's business has been good for the past two days. He killed two pigs today and came back a little late. I'll cook right away."

It was rare for Niu Dong to kill two pigs in one day, so Zhu Jiangjiang came back a little late today, it was already past lunch time.

"Don't worry, take a break first, don't get tired." The old people felt distressed, and the fourth wife even put down their work and went to supervise Zhu Jiangjiang to rest.

Waking up early every day to slaughter pigs is really tiring, but there is no way. Pig slaughtering is her only source of income now, and it cannot be stopped.

Moreover, Zhu Jiangjiang has always felt that he will lose his job at any time recently.

She went to help butcher pigs every day, and Niu Dong watched from the side every day, and he almost learned it.

Zhu Jiangjiang had to take advantage of Niu Dong to talk to her, before firing her, earn as much as she could, and she dared not ask for a day off.

However, if it was copied, it would not affect her much.

It just so happens that she can concentrate on making and selling tea, and she also has to set up a stall.
