Xia Ruofei didn't know the standard for picking tea leaves to make Da Hong Pao. Fortunately, the Internet was very developed now, and picking tea leaves wasn't a high-tech job. Therefore, after Xia Ruofei made up his mind, he left the space and searched for relevant information on the Internet.
According to the information on the Internet, the standard for picking fresh leaves of Da Hong Pao was that the new shoots and leaves had matured (three to four leaves), no water on the surface of the leaves, no damage, fresh, and uniform. The fresh leaves couldn't be too tender, because if they were too tender, the aroma of the tea would be low and the taste would be bitter. They couldn't be too old either, because if they were too old, the taste would be weak and the aroma would be coarse.
Just looking at the text wasn't very intuitive, so Xia Ruofei simply searched for videos. There really were many videos of picking fresh leaves of Da Hong Pao, some of which were posted by tea farmers in their own online shops, and some of which were promotional videos of the local government.
Xia Ruofei was already very smart. Now that his Spiritual Energy cultivation had skyrocketed, his learning ability had naturally improved as well. So after watching a few videos in succession, he was able to learn almost all of it.
After returning to the space, Xia Ruofei first practiced with the twelve "third generation" Da Hong Pao tea trees. Although these tea trees weren't old enough and the fresh leaves were still a little lacking for making tea, it was no problem for him to practice.
Picking tea wasn't a very difficult job, so Xia Ruofei got the hang of it after practicing for a while.
Then, he began to pick fresh leaves from the 12 Da Hong Pao tea trees that had been cut by the branches of the mother tree.
Although the process of picking tea was a little boring, Xia Ruofei enjoyed it.
The space was rich in spiritual energy, and the tea forest was also filled with a faint fragrance of fresh leaves. The leaves were a little wet, but this was not dew, but the mist of spiritual energy attached to the leaves that had been growing in the space.
After picking a handful of fresh leaves, he put it in front of his nose and took a deep breath. The feeling was really refreshing, as if all the bones in his body had become lighter.
Xia Ruofei's physique was far superior to that of ordinary people, so this level of labor basically didn't feel tired at all.
Today, they had only picked twelve second-generation Da Hong Pao stalks. Although Xia Ruofei's movements weren't very practiced, he still managed to complete the task after several hours.
His speed was naturally much slower than that of a skilled tea picker.
Xia Ruofei looked at the plastic container full of fresh leaves and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Xia Ruofei weighed it on the electronic scale. Today, Xia Ruofei had picked about six to seven catties of fresh leaves.
He wondered how much Da Hong Pao could be made from these fresh leaves. Xia Ruofei muttered in his heart.
Of course, quantity was secondary. Xia Ruofei was more concerned about the quality of the Da Hong Pao after it was produced.
After he left the space, he went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and then picked up the phone to call Lei Hu.
After Ye Linyun and Li Zhifu returned to Wuyi Mountain, the farm would send a veteran every few days to deliver the medicine that Xia Ruofei had prepared to Wuyi Mountain. This matter had always been arranged by Lei Hu.
After asking, Xia Ruofei found out that tomorrow was the day to deliver the medicine. Lei Hu was preparing to report to Xia Ruofei in the afternoon so that Xia Ruofei could prepare the medicine!
Therefore, Xia Ruofei directly told Lei Hu that this time, he would personally go to Wuyi Mountain to deliver the medicine and told him not to send anyone else.
Xia Ruofei considered asking Li Zhifu to help him make the tea. If he let an ordinary tea maker make such good fresh leaves, it would really be a waste if they made a mistake.
Moreover, Ye Linyun had been away for a long time, so Xia Ruofei was more concerned about his progress. Therefore, he wanted to go and see for himself.
In addition, when Xia Ruofei accompanied Master Song to Wuyi Mountain last time, they went to the grave of Master Song's comrade, Martyr Yan Xiaodong, to pay respects. At that time, Martyr Yan Xiaodong's grave was overgrown with weeds. Xia Ruofei promised Master Song that he would arrange for someone to repair it as soon as possible.
Because Ye Linyun went to Wuyi Mountain to study, Xia Ruofei gave him a sum of money and gave him this task.
Although Ye Linyun reported to him on the phone that Martyr Yan Xiaodong's grave had been repaired, Xia Ruofei still wanted to go to the scene to be at ease.
He also considered taking some photos back to give to Master Song. Only then could he be considered to have completed the task given to him by the old chief!
Therefore, early the next morning, Xia Ruofei said goodbye to Feng Jing and Pang Hao. Then, he drove the Knight XV off-road vehicle and left the farm. After getting on the highway, he went all the way north and went straight to Wuyi Mountain.
After more than three hours, Xia Ruofei had arrived at Yangdun Town of Wuyi Mountain. Li Zhifu's daughter and son-in-law opened an electrical repair shop in the town. This was where Master Song met Li Zhifu after a long separation.
It was almost noon, but there were still many people on the streets of the town. There were also many children playing on the streets.
Seeing such a fierce and domineering off-road vehicle like the Knight XV, many of the town's residents and children looked at it curiously. Some of the bolder children even chased after the car.
Xia Ruofei had already been here once, so he didn't need to ask for directions. He drove straight to the electrical repair shop.
Li Zhifu's son-in-law, Niu Yusheng, was sitting in front of the messy console, tinkering with a broken TV. After the Knight XV stopped in front of the shop, its huge body blocked the entrance. The light in the shop suddenly dimmed a lot.
Niu Yusheng frowned slightly and raised his head.
At this time, Xia Ruofei had also jumped out of the car and walked into the shop. Niu Yusheng took off his reading glasses and rubbed his eyes. He exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Mr. Xia?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, hello!"
Niu Yusheng was surprised and happy. He stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Xia, why did you come in person this time?"
Xia Ruofei had a gentle smile on his face. He said, "Mr. Li has been taking the medicine for a while now, so I came to check on his health. Uncle Niu, is Mr. Li at home? "
Niu Yusheng said, "He took Xiao Ye to the tea garden early in the morning. Mr. Xia, please come in and have a seat …"
After that, Niu Yusheng shouted behind him, "Guizhi, come down quickly. Mr. Xia is here …"
The sound of footsteps was heard. Li Guizhi came down quickly from upstairs. When she saw Xia Ruofei, she was naturally surprised and happy. She quickly brought a chair for Xia Ruofei and greeted him again.
Xia Ruofei took the hot tea that Li Guizhi made for him, then smiled and asked, "How is Mr. Li's health recently?"
Li Guizhi said gratefully, "Mr. Xia, the Chinese medicine you prescribed is very effective! My father's health is getting better day by day. I feel that his body is even stronger than before he got sick! "
Niu Yusheng also smiled and said, "Isn't that so! The old man hasn't been to the tea garden for a few years. The road there is not easy to walk. Recently, he took Xiao Ye there every few days. Guizhi and I were worried, so we accompanied him twice. The old man walked as fast as flying! "
Li Guizhi nodded and said, "Mr. Xia, it's all thanks to you this time! When we found out that it was that illness, our whole family felt that the sky was falling down … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "This is also because Mr. Li has a good physique and a strong desire to live. Otherwise, no matter how good the medicine is, it won't have any effect."
Then Xia Ruofei said, "I brought another dose of Chinese medicine today. After Mr. Li takes it, I'll take his pulse again to see how he recovers."
Niu Yusheng and Li Guizhi had long been impressed by Xia Ruofei's medical skills. Naturally, they listened to Xia Ruofei when it came to treatment.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, it's almost noon. They should be back soon, right?"
Niu Yusheng smiled bitterly and said, "Our old man is gone for a whole day. They brought lunch."
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel that he had miscalculated. If he had known this would happen, he would have told Ye Linyun in advance.
Li Guizhi said from the side, "Old man, hurry up and call Xiao Ye! If dad knows that Mr. Xia is here, he will definitely come back immediately. "
"Yes, yes, yes …" Niu Yusheng said as he took out his mobile phone.
Xia Ruofei also wanted to call Ye Linyun, but he saw that Niu Yusheng had already started dialing, so he gave up.
The signal in the tea garden was not very good. Niu Yusheng called several times and finally got through. He told Ye Linyun that Xia Ruofei had come to Mount Wuyi. Ye Linyun immediately said that he would tell Old Mr. Li immediately and then went down the mountain to go home.
"Mr. Xia, Xiao Ye said that he will go down the mountain in a while!" Niu Yusheng said with a smile.
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei said, and then asked, "Uncle Niu, is the tea garden far from here? Do you want me to drive there to pick him up? "
Niu Yusheng thought for a moment and said, "That's okay. My old man and Xiao Ye used to come back by bus after they went down the mountain. It's quite troublesome. Let's go! I'll show you the way! "
Xia Ruofei pointed to the TV and asked, "You haven't finished your work yet, right? Why don't I ask Aunt Gui Zhi to accompany me there? "
Niu Yusheng laughed as he gathered the tools and said, "Guizhi is going to cook at home! You have to make more dishes today since you are here. My work is not in the way. It's an old neighbor's TV. It doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later! Mr. Xia, let's go! "
Xia Ruofei heard Niu Yusheng say so, so he didn't insist anymore. They got in the car together. Under Niu Yusheng's guidance, Xia Ruofei drove out of the town.
On the way, Niu Yusheng called Ye Linyun again to inform them. He didn't want them to miss him if they got in the minibus without knowing it.
About ten kilometers south of the town, Niu Yusheng pointed to a small road in front of them and said, "Mr. Xia, let's turn around and wait at the intersection. They all go down the mountain from here."
"Okay!" Xia Ruofei responded.
Xia Ruofei drove back. When he stopped by the roadside, he already saw Li Zhifu and Ye Linyun, one old and one young, walking from the foot of the mountain in the distance.
So Xia Ruofei simply got out of the car to greet them. Li Zhifu and Ye Linyun apparently also saw Xia Ruofei, and they both quickened their pace.
"Brother Xia!" Ye Linyun shouted excitedly from afar.
Xia Ruofei took a few steps forward and arrived in front of the two. She saw Ye Linyun wearing a faded training uniform with some mud on his trousers. He was looking at her with a mischievous smile.
Li Zhifu's hair and beard were white, but he was obviously more energetic than last time. His face was very ruddy, and he was not as thin as last time.
Xia Ruofei first patted Ye Linyun's shoulder gently, and then said to Li Zhifu, "Mr. Li!"
Li Zhifu was very happy to see Xia Ruofei. "Little Xia, why did you come in person?"
"I came to see you!" Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Mr. Li, when we get home later, I'll take your pulse and check your body …"
"Okay, okay, okay …" Li Zhifu said, "I'm also a little confused … Recently, my body is much better than before, and I haven't felt pain for a long time …"
Late-stage cancer was usually accompanied by unbearable pain, so there was a saying that half of cancer patients were scared to death by themselves, and the other half were killed by pain.
When he was diagnosed, Li Zhifu often couldn't sleep at night because of the pain. But after taking the "Chinese medicine" that Xia Ruofei had made, the degree of pain began to gradually reduce, and the frequency was increasing. In the last ten days, he basically didn't feel any pain.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "This means that the Chinese medicine treatment is effective! This is a good thing! "
Li Zhifu already knew about his condition, so he didn't dare to hope that he would recover one day. During this period of time, he had taught Ye Linyun everything. His only wish was to teach Ye Linyun everything before he died, so he didn't care much about his own condition.
But his daughter and son-in-law could clearly feel that his body had recovered a lot.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Li Zhifu was slightly stunned, and a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes. He asked, "Xiao Xia, my … my illness … can be cured?"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "As long as the symptoms are treated, cancer is not invincible! Mr. Li, at least for now, your treatment is on the right path. In the end, whether or not you can completely defeat the disease, in addition to the medical treatment, you also need to build up your own confidence. "
Li Zhifu nodded thoughtfully and said, "I will. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Xia."
"Master Song personally gave me the task, so I dare not take it lightly!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "If the treatment is not successful, won't Master Song skin me alive?"
Everyone talked as they walked to the intersection. When they got in the car, Ye Linyun took the initiative to take Xia Ruofei's car key and became the driver.
When they returned to Niu Yusheng's house, Li Guizhi had already prepared a sumptuous lunch.
After everyone had finished lunch, Xia Ruofei took out the prepared thermos bag from the car and gave the Chinese medicine inside to Li Guizhi. After she heated it in water, she gave it to Li Zhifu to drink.
Xia Ruofei waited for him to take the Chinese medicine, then took his pulse and said, "Mr. Li, your body is recovering very well! The treatment effect is similar to my expectations. I am more and more confident. I believe that it won't be long before you can recover! "
Niu Yusheng and Li Guizhi were overjoyed.
After this period of contact, Ye Linyun also respected and loved his master. After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Ye Linyun also showed an excited expression.
Li Zhifu's eyes also revealed a look of excitement. A bad life was better than a good death. Even though he had lived for more than ninety years and was very open about life and death, this kind of feeling of being at the end of the road still made Li Zhifu's mood surge.
"Thank you, Xiao Xia!" Li Zhifu said sincerely.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, I suggest that you go back to the three mountains with me and go to a big hospital to check your body's indicators. The various examination methods of Western medicine are more intuitive and can clearly see the situation of the cancer cells in the body and the recovery of the body. "
Li Zhifu showed a trace of hesitation. He should be a little worried about personal gains and losses. Niu Yusheng, Li Guizhi, and Ye Linyun immediately persuaded him. Li Zhifu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go back with you! Xiao Song also called me several times and invited me back to stay for a few days … "
"That's just right!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I'll call Director Lu and let him tell the chief this good news. At the same time, he can arrange the hospital in advance."
After that, Xia Ruofei immediately took out his phone and called Director Lu.
When he heard that Li Zhifu was recovering well and was going to stay in the three mountains for a few days and go to the hospital for a check-up, Director Lu was very happy. He immediately said that he would report to Master Song immediately and inform the relevant experts in the provincial People's Hospital to make preparations.
After the phone call, Xia Ruofei said to Li Zhifu, "Mr. Li, I want Lingyun to take me to Martyr Yan Xiaodong's mausoleum in the afternoon. Can we leave tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements," Li Zhifu said with a smile.
After Li Zhifu's thoughts were sorted out, everyone sat around the coffee table. Xia Ruofei came today and Li Zhifu knew that his body was recovering well, so he was in a good mood. He took out his precious Da Hong Pao and personally made tea for Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei looked at Li Zhifu, who was moving like clouds and flowing water, and was ready to tell the main purpose of his trip.
He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, Master Song told so many stories about you, but I haven't seen you make tea with my own eyes! I happen to have six to seven catties of fresh leaves of Da Hong Pao, which were just picked this morning. Can I trouble you to make it yourself? Lingyun can also observe and learn … "
