The car soon arrived at the Wuyi Mountain scenic spot.
Although Master Song had instructed them not to be special, they couldn't be treated like ordinary tourists. They couldn't possibly let Master Song get out of the car at the entrance of the scenic spot, line up with ordinary tourists to buy tickets, and then wait in line for the bus to enter the scenic spot, right?
For safety reasons, Xia Ruofei would not agree to do that.
Therefore, Master Song acquiesced to Du Xiaohai's arrangement and drove straight into the scenic spot.
The Wuyi Mountain scenic spot was made up of many parts, and each part had its own system. Their destination today was the Da Hong Pao scenic spot.
The Mercedes-Benz MPV drove straight to the entrance of the Da Hong Pao scenic spot. They had to walk further in, and the six Da Hong Pao mother trees were at the end of the road.
Fortunately, Master Song was very energetic now, and the Da Hong Pao scenic spot was not big, so walking for a while would not be a problem.
Everyone got out of the car. The air in the mountains was filled with the fragrance of the earth and the faint fragrance of tea leaves. It was refreshing.
Two or three people who looked like cadres were already waiting at the entrance of the scenic spot. They quickly walked up to welcome them.
Du Xiaohai introduced them to Master Song. It turned out that one of them was the director of the City Tea Bureau, another was the director of the City Tea Research Institute, and the last was the director of the scenic spot management committee.
Master Song smiled and nodded at them kindly. He took the initiative to extend his hand to them and said, "Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"
These people were only section-level cadres. They had never seen a chief like Master Song before. All of them were very excited and flattered as they came forward to shake hands with Elder Song.
Du Xiaohai said, "Chief, this is our Da Hong Pao scenic spot. It has our ecological tea garden and an experimental nursery from the tea research institute."
Master Song smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go in and take a look! "
"Chief, please!"
The group of people went through the ticket inspection at the Da Hong Pao scenic spot.
After entering the scenic area, there was a stone path. This path passed through many tea gardens, and along the way, there were patches of green tea trees.
"Chief, this year's tea leaves have been harvested. A new batch of tea has just been released after the Spring Festival. Therefore, the tea garden is now in the stage of recuperation. " Du Xiaohai smiled and introduced, "These tea gardens are owned by the local tea farmers. When the scenic area was built, the tea farmers all moved to the foot of the mountain, but the management rights of the tea gardens are still reserved for them."
Master Song nodded and said, "Yes! It's a good thing for the government to engage in development and construction, but you can't encroach on the interests of the masses, and you can't compete with the people for benefits. You've done a good job on this! "
Du Xiaohai humbly replied, "You flatter me."
Along the way, the fresh smell of the earth and the faint fragrance of tea assailed his nostrils. What entered his eyes was a lush green scene, contrasting with the strange peaks and rocks in the distance, making him feel as if his entire heart had been broadened by a lot.
Du Xiaohai also introduced the situation of the various tea gardens in the Da Hong Pao scenic area. The focus of the introduction was, of course, the ecological tea garden of the City Tea Industry Bureau and the experimental nursery of the Tea Research Institute.
Du Xiaohai was very familiar with the business. The director of the Tea Bureau and the director of the Tea Research Institute basically didn't need to be added. Master Song nodded frequently after listening, and from time to time, he would ask one or two questions. Obviously, he was more interested in the things that Du Xiaohai introduced.
Du Xiaohai was naturally overjoyed. He carefully organized his words and answered Master Song's questions.
The group of people talked as they walked, and soon, they reached the end of the road.
From afar, they could see the red words "Da Hong Pao" on the rock wall in the distance. Next to the stone inscription, there were six tea trees growing in the crevices of the steep cliff.
Du Xiaohai introduced, "Chief, in front of us are the six famous Da Hong Pao mother trees. The stone inscription on the rock wall next to them was carved by the monks of the Tianxin Temple during the Republic of China …"
Master Song listened with great interest. Suddenly, he saw a shop under the cliff in front of them. The signboard was quite eye-catching.
Master Song smiled and pointed in front of him and said, "The World's Best Egg! This name is interesting … "
Du Xiaohai said a little awkwardly, "Chief, actually, that's a shop selling tea eggs, but the tea leaves used to make tea eggs are Da Hong Pao. The signboard is just a gimmick of the shop …"
The director of the scenic spot management committee came over and said, "Chief, this shop has been open for many years. It's also our old tenant. Although the signboard is a little exaggerated, it's still honest. One tea egg is only three dollars."
After hearing this, Song Rui joked, "Three dollars for a tea egg, it can't be made with the Da Hong Pao tea leaves from the mother tree, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss? "
The director of the management committee smiled and said, "You're joking … The Da Hong Pao mother tree has stopped harvesting since 2007, but the tea used in this shop is quite authentic. It's the Da Hong Pao tea leaves from our tea garden in the scenic spot."
Master Song nodded slightly and said, "Then let's go and try the 'World's Best Egg' later!"
Du Xiaohai quickly said, "Okay! Chief, there's a tea house up ahead. We can go and have some tea. "
Master Song said straightforwardly, "Okay! Xiao Rui, go buy a few tea eggs and bring them to the tea house! "
"Okay!" Song Rui replied.
Du Xiaohai hurriedly said, "Chief, we'll go buy them …"
Master Song waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. It's good to let Xiao Rui run errands. My grandson is usually too lazy. It's rare for him to come out, so I have to order him around properly …"
After hearing this, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. Song Rui's face was bitter, but he didn't dare to refute.
As for Du Xiaohai and the others, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They could only laugh a few times.
As the group of people walked forward, the smile on Master Song's face gradually disappeared, and he frowned.
Because his line of sight was blocked by the shop before, Master Song only saw a whole group of armed police soldiers standing at the bottom of the cliff with guns in their hands when he got closer.
"Secretary Du, what's going on?" Master Song's tone was a little bad. "Didn't I say not to make a big fuss? Why did you bring the troops here? "
Du Xiaohai quickly explained, "Chief, you've misunderstood! Today is the day that the tea house is doing routine pruning and maintenance of the six Da Hong Pao mother trees. These armed police soldiers are also here to maintain order. Every time we do maintenance of the mother trees, we ask the armed police force to send a squad of soldiers to help maintain order. "
Master Song's face relaxed a little when he heard this. He asked, "Is that really the case?"
"Yes, yes." Du Xiaohai said, "Chief, the comrades in the group originally asked if we should reschedule the pruning, but I said that there was no need. Chief wants to see our real situation, so I made the decision to let the comrades in the tea house and the tea house continue to work as usual."
Master Song finally smiled again and nodded.
Du Xiaohai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Xia Ruofei saw this scene, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Along the way, he had been thinking about how to get some branches of the mother trees. He didn't expect that today would be such a coincidence. The staff was pruning and maintenance, so they would definitely cut some branches.
The opportunity was right in front of him!
