Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

Afterward, Chen Changsheng and his second son descended War Horse Slope. The next day, Chen Changsheng took Chuanwen and picked out a small white dog from the market to raise at the tea plantation.

In the days that followed, Chen Changsheng devoted all his energy to the tea plantation. He meticulously cared for the tea trees and jasmine flowers on the mountain according to the Jasmine Tea Cultivation Method.

Of the thirty mu of mountain land, he planted twenty mu with tea trees. Under his cultivation, the tea trees slowly grew and sprouted tender buds, while the remaining ten mu were planted with jasmine flowers.

Meanwhile, Chuanwu followed Master Wang Yong in martial arts training. With daily and accumulated guidance, Chuanwu did not disappoint his superior root bone and had already entered the first major stage of martial arts training – the Skin Refining Realm.

The Chen Family finally produced its first Martial Artist!

At the same time, during Chuanwu’s rest periods, Chen Changsheng would bring out the terms he didn’t understand from the Five Elements Origin Cultivation Art to ask Chuanwu for guidance. Chen Changsheng gradually figured out the practice methods of the Five Elements Origin Cultivation Art!

In the blink of an eye, a year passed!

This autumn, besides harvesting twenty mu of wheat, Chen Changsheng’s biggest harvest was the tea leaves covering half the mountainside, and the ten mu of jasmine flowers on White Horse Slope.

Looking at the bountiful harvest brought by a year of hard work, Chen Changsheng smiled contentedly.

”I need to find people to help harvest the tea, otherwise I can’t finish it alone in just a few days!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the twenty mu of tea trees and pondered. His green tea ripened once a year, and these few days around the autumnal equinox were the picking period. After this time, the tea leaves would become old.

This year, he had been frugal and still had 40 taels of silver left. Chuanwu’s martial arts training expenses were not small; his tuition alone cost 100 taels.

Chen Changsheng and the others had eaten their Family’s stored grain this year, rarely having meat, but none of them complained. They knew that if they persevered, their future would surely be better.

”Half a tael ofBroken silver a day, hire twenty people, and try to finish picking the tea in one day!”

Chen Changsheng calculated, then returned to Kaoshan Village to gather the young people in the village.

At this time, everyone had harvested their crops, and it was the slack season. Hearing about half a tael of silver a day, they all eagerly signed up.

Soon, Chen Changsheng gathered twenty young laborers and took them up the mountain to pick tea leaves.

With many hands, the work was light. Twenty people finished picking all the tea leaves and jasmine flowers in one day, and they were laid out to dry in Chen Changsheng’s courtyard.

Chen Changsheng’s tea yield was average, about five catties of tea per mu. He had planted twenty mu, harvesting one hundred catties of green tea.

After drying the green tea and jasmine flowers, Chen Changsheng began to stir-fry the jasmine tea according to the techniques in the Jasmine Tea Training Method.

As the last batch of flower tea came out of the wok, Chen Chuanwen watched the tea intently, smelled a hint of fragrance, and said with a smile:

”Father, quickly brew me a cup and let me taste what our Family’s tea is like!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the impatient Chuanwen, chuckled, then took out a little tea, put it in a teacup, and poured in boiling water.

Immediately, a strong, fresh aroma wafted over, mixed with the scent of jasmine, making one feel as if they were in a spring wilderness.

”This smell is truly fragrant!”

Chen Chuanwen took a deep breath of the tea aroma, then said ecstatically. When the tea water cooled slightly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes instantly brightening.

”Father, this tea is fragrant and sweet, with a subtle floral aroma lingering. The aftertaste leaves a rich fragrance that doesn’t dissipate, making one feel clear-headed and refreshed. It’s definitely good tea!”

”Our Family’s tea will definitely sell well in Longwei County. Our Family is going to get rich!”

Chen Changsheng chuckled, looking at his excited second son. He had absolute confidence in the techniques from the Family Treasure Trove.

However, selling tea was not that easy. As the saying goes, even good wine fears deep alleys. His Family’s tea also needed a reputation to sell well.
