Wu Lan wasn’t suddenly being generous. Last year, their family only had their five-acre Tea Garden. Except for the crucial spring tea, which they picked slowly by themselves, they didn’t care much about any perks. But this year is different. Not to mention Old Man Li’s additional dozen acres of Tea Mountain, even the same five-acre Tea Garden from last year, after a whole winter of careful nurturing, is thriving far beyond before this year. It seems that the summer tea yield won’t be any less. The spring tea offered to these young folks was suggested by Zhang Yanping—investing heavily in something valuable, for this online recruitment, since people traveled from afar, we needed to leave a striking good impression. This way, next time when recruiting remotely, regardless of anything else, the responders will surely be numerous. As for giving summer tea to the villagers, that’s for a different reason—it’s also about retaining people. Because anyone who’s picked summer tea knows, the hardship isn’t even on the same level as spring tea. In spring at 50 a pound, people scramble to do it, but when it reaches the dog days of summer, even the villagers looking to earn money might hesitate. After all, the Tea Garden aims to ensure yields and is never shielded overhead. The blazing sun of summer is unbearable. Even if working early in the morning and late in the day, the wind is still hot, sweat drips down in the tea fields, who can endure that to earn a bit of money? Also, mosquitoes increase during the sweltering summer. While picking tea, you’re surrounded by a buzzing swarm of mosquitoes. Without extra benefits, how can you attract people like Duoduo to work more? The wages have already been raised; they can’t go any higher, or it gets risky. But giving more benefits poses no issue. They might spend a few extra ten thousand, but if no one picks, or with few helping, the tea won’t be thoroughly picked, the buds get smaller, resulting in losses far more than tens of thousands! In any case, as soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately responded cheerfully: "Can I only pick Maojian for summer tea? Can’t I just pick big leaf tea?" Wu Lan laughed and cursed instantly: "Dream on! Whatever you pick, however much, when it’s fried out, each person gets at most three taels, pick whatever you want." The other person laughed heartily, unconcerned: "Okay, okay, having it is good. Don’t worry, I’ll come for the summer tea too. My son is waiting to use money for his wedding!" Others are full of anticipation: "People say your tea is expensive and good, weren’t we growing from the same seedlings originally? I must earn three taels this year to taste what it’s like!" "Exactly, I’ve been thinking... Wu Lan, rest assured, when it tastes good, we’ll definitely help you sell it." Wu Lan was chuckled and said: "Sell what, it’s long been reserved by big bosses, where is there more to sell? If it wasn’t for the deposit received, who around ten miles and eight villages would offer 50 for the price?" Everyone was amazed and wistful, their hands moving faster. In the back row, youngsters progressing at a snail’s pace exchanged glances with those behind them again, determined to keep the secret of Qiaoqiao’s home’s sky-high treasure sealed. Luckily, the village folks are older, while they are good at using Douyin, Qiaoqiao’s streaming platform is still unfamiliar. If not for the village selling vegetables earlier, even fewer would watch. Patience to watch episodes upon episodes in the past wasn’t there, naturally missing many of Lao Song’s family secrets. Currently, everyone’s eyes exchanged, glancing again at those aunties picking tea in the front: Remember, stay close in relation, improve associations, so that when aunties receive tea, regardless if they are still around, ask once over the phone. It’s such a simple matter! After all, that’s three taels! However, besides the tea leaves, there’s another rather important thing. Nian Xu spoke up: "By the way, our boss’s boyfriend’s inn is trial running, I’m planning to long-term rent a room, anyone want to join?" Everyone became invigorated: "Is it the Rainbow Castle? The one with macaron mushroom tops?" Before the tea began, they wandered there periodically, looking for chances to snap pictures from angles! Unfortunately, it was road paving at the entrance, and flowers in the flowerbeds busy with transplantation, with materials and soil everywhere, messy for shots. Who knew missing a few days everything got tidy and started trial operations? Nian Xu had been following—he’s sleeping sweetly in the dorm now, but no matter how sweet, sharing a room with four others doesn’t match his status! Now he unravels for everyone: "Staff haven’t arrived yet, only the lovely lady boss is there—Sigh! No wonder she can be our boss’s girlfriend, the mother and son duo are both good-looking." "Trial operation is said to begin three days later, price just announced online, I wandered around and peeked at the room early—really quite good!" Upon hearing this, Indifferent Sister chimed in: "You say it’s good, but I probably can’t afford the long-term rental of this house. I’ll stick with the dorm, I’ve rich dormitory staying experience." On hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Nian Xu suddenly felt conflicted: "Why do the words imply I’m somewhat set apart from everyone... That room really isn’t pricey, all solid wood furniture, high-count silk bedding, aesthetic is top-notch, the room is spacious too... trial operation’s pricing is only 999 a day!" "If I rent long-term for three months, it’s just 24800 a month, plus a daily milk tea or dessert..." Seeing the house’s shape, everyone expected the price wouldn’t be cheap; yet who thought even in such a remote mountain village, one could hear of 999 sky-high rates! 999! Even in big cities it’s high-end hospitality in the minds of working folks! Just a modest inn, how dare— "Hold on, silk bedding?" Round-eyed girl became gloomy: "I only can afford one silk pillowcase..." Rich people’s lives are so plain and simple? Gastric Bypass Brother’s expression turned careless: "When I travel, the company reimburses only 199 hotels!" Self-taught Sister angrily added: "Nian Xu, you say you’re not in a class apart—hey, that 199 hotel is so stingy, yet you endured until gastric bypass before quitting, really a born worker!" The last sentence was directed at Gastric Bypass Brother. Nian Xu blinked, thought a bit, and then added: "But the milk in that milk tea comes from the farm, tea leaves are from the boss’s home. If it’s dessert-making, used milk and fruits likely belong to the boss too." So when really counting this price, it’s not unaffordable, but others don’t have it; only those staying guests receive... That made him immediately feel it’s worthwhile!
