Wu Lan was fiddling with her cellphone when she said, “Years ago, when Tantan was a child, people would come to our door to buy the leaves, for 8 cents a jin. Her dad would take the big tea shears and work on the mountain for several days, huffing and puffing.”

Back then, there were no electric or diesel options, everything had to be done using big iron shears by hand. After a few days of work, the person would be nearly worn out.

Now, however…

Zhang Yanping pondered for a moment, “Pruning tea leaves must require pruning a lot, right? 8 cents a jin, it was at least an income, and the price must have gone up now.”

Pruning is divided into light and heavy pruning.

Light pruning means only trimming the uneven tender top part, while heavy pruning means cutting off more than half including the old branches, with the lower branches being heavier.

8 cents a jin, that really was an income.

But Wu Lan shook her head, “Wishful thinking… 8 cents a jin, and they don’t take the old bottom branches.”

“Moreover, the people doing business aren’t fools either. Seeing that there are hardly any villagers left to work, if they want to buy tea branches, they have to raise the price, so they simply don’t discuss the price anymore—if your family is willing to sell, they’ll bring their big machines up the mountain to cut it directly,”

“After pruning, they’ll transport it away, saving us farmers the effort. Although there’s no income, it saves on labor, ensuring that next year’s tea leaves will grow well.”

“In previous years, when Tantan’s dad went out to work, that’s how we sold our tea leaves.”

Zhang Yanping was astonished.
