As soon as the sky was dawn, Cai Hongming got up and walked up to the roof of the inn, sat cross-legged on it, breathing the first ray of purple sunlight between the sky and the earth.

Since he practiced the secret text of the Yuqing Jinzhao Qinghua Qinghua, he rarely got up so early to practice Qi.

Because this little spiritual energy is dispensable to him now. In the world where spiritual energy is thin and almost nothing is gone. If there is no extraordinary opportunity, if you want to practice successfully, you are simply dreaming. It is better to sleep with your wife in the quilt. However, when you wake up this morning and see that the air is fresh and there is more spiritual energy than other places, he reluctantly comes out to practice.

This inn is located at the highest point in the village. After Cai Hongming practiced, he stood beside the railings on the roof. Looking around, he saw that under the clear blue sky, gray tiled roofs were densely packed, one by one, one by one, staggered in an orderly manner.

The mist is hazy, and the village shrouded in the morning mist seems so quiet and peaceful.

Gradually, there was a sound in the quiet village. The ducks released from the door walked towards the stream one by one. Regardless of the coolness of the early spring stream, they jumped down to play and play, scaring the fish that had just emerged from the stream to breathe the air in an instant and disappeared into the water.

Slowly, the jingle of pots and pans appeared in the wall yard, and the busy figures of villagers also appeared in the alleys.

Some of them took their clothes to wash by the stream, while others started picking tea and stir-frying tea, drying mountain goods, and pieced together a simple and beautiful mountain village painting.

This is Xiamei Village, located in the eastern part of Wuyishan City. It was built in the Sui Dynasty, rose in the Song Dynasty, and was raised in the Qing Dynasty. It is a famous historical and cultural village in China. It is said that during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, humans in the Neolithic Age were active in Xiamei Village.

Yesterday, after their family flew to Wuyishan City, they rented an off-road vehicle to come here. When they arrived, it was almost dark, so they first found an inn to stay in, and then talk about other things when they woke up.

When they returned to the room, Shi Wan'er and Xiao Chuchu were still in the bed.

The little guy hugged his mother's two majestic peaks tightly, holding them with one hand and holding them with the other. He put his mouth on his chest. He smashed them from time to time, as if he was drinking milk in his dream, making people not know what to say after seeing them.

Cai Hongming came in, Shi Wan'er opened her eyes and asked in a daze: "What time is it?"

"It's still early, you can keep going!"

"Well" Shi Wan'er continued to sleep with her daughter in her arms. When she woke up again, it was about eight o'clock. Xiao Chuchu got up at some point, but her father had already put on her clothes. The father and daughter were sitting by the bed and playing, so she quickly got up and washed up and went to have breakfast together.

The breakfast in the mountain village is very delicious. There is no porridge that Cai Hongming likes to drink the most, only noodles.

If Xiamei Village had not become a tourist attraction now and there were tourists living there, he would probably not even have to eat noodles, so he could not be picky and had to give in.

Last year, Cai Hongming had already contacted the owner who sold tea tree seedlings. He contacted him again the day before yesterday and said that he would come to see the tea tree seedlings today. However, the weather is good today. He didn't want to go there so early, so he planned to take his wife and daughter to play in the village first, and wait until he woke up in the afternoon before going over. Anyway, he wouldn't be in a hurry for a while.

The terrain of Xiamei Village is a typical small basin in Wuyi Mountain, commonly known as "Guozhuang", which means that the terrain of Xiamei is like a pot, and the village is located in it.

There is a poem about "Mountains are surrounded by water and gathering treasure pots, green dragons and white tigers are far away, mountains are horizontal. Wealth is vast and flowing cannot be gone, and chickens and dogs are heard in the elbows of the village." It describes the Feng Shui image of Xiamei Village very appropriately.

Looking down at Xiamei Village from a place called "Baiyangang" in Xiamei Village, I saw that the nine hills extending from Xiamei Village to the east and eight directions looked like nine dragons, and they also sneaked into the Xiamei Village Basin. Therefore, in order to cultivate nine dragons in the Qing Dynasty, Zou Shimaozhang, the richest man in Xiamei Village, built Wenchang Pavilion, hoping to use this to lock the spirituality of the dragon and let it be educated by Emperor Wenchang, so that the descendants of Xiamei Village will have a prosperous cultural fortune and a prosperous academic profession.

In the old days, Xiamei Village was an important tea distribution center in Wuyi Mountain. According to the "Chong'an County Chronicles", "In the 19th year of the Kangxi period, Wuyi Rock Tea Market, Xiamei, Chongqing, took 300 rafts every day, and was transported continuously."

Zou's family is rich because of tea, and rich want to be noble.

It’s a pity that people cannot defeat God’s will after all.

After the Opium War, because the Qing government was forced to open five trading ports at that time, Wuyi Rock Tea could be exported as long as it went down the Minjiang River. As a result, the tea city center in Wuyishan area moved from Xiamei to Chishi, and Xiamei, which was in full swing, slowly declined.

Cai Hongming put his daughter on his shoulders, asked him to hold his neck, and walked slowly on this ancient country road with his wife.

Chuchu sat on her father's shoulder, shouting happily, "Jia, Jia" and her little butt kept twisting, as if she was really riding a horse.

"If you move around again, believe it or not, I will hit your little butt." Cai Hongming said to his daughter dissatisfied.

Chuchu was very smart. Seeing that her father looked wrong, she stopped calling. But after a moment, she started yelling at the slap of "Ha, ha, ha". Seeing this, Shi Wan'er next to her laughed, and Cai Hongming had no choice but to do anything to the mother and daughter.

There is a small stream in Xiamei Village called Dangxi.

Dangxi is like the central axis of Xiamei Village, which divides a village into two halves. On both sides of the stream are two long streets covered with green tiled roofs. Every other section of the street, there will be a downward stone steps leading to the stream. It is the wharf for carrying tea in the old days. In the old days, Xiamei Village was an important tea distribution center in Wuyi Mountain.

The prosperity of the tea market has driven the prosperity of Xiamei Village. Tea merchants from all over the country have set up tea shops here, selected tea leaves and sold to various places.

Looking back to the past, the water transportation road must have been very lively, and the Xiamei Street Market was extremely prosperous. But now, everything is just passing by, and only the ancient streets and houses in front of you are left for people to pay tribute.

The Spring Festival has just passed and it is not the holiday period, so there are very few people coming to Xiamei Village for tourism, with only three or three tourists wandering on the street paved with white stones.

The weather was sunny today, and under the rays of sunshine, I rushed to the coldness of the mountains. Some old people came out and sat on the corridor beside the stream, basking in the sun and chatting and laughing. Seeing the little guy sitting on Cai Hongming's shoulder curiously looking around, he also teased him happily for a few times from the air.

Then there is the Zou Family Ancestral Hall, and not far behind is the doctor.

Walking along the bluestone road, a brick door tower with countless beautiful meanings suddenly came into view. When you walked into it, you saw that in the high hall, carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite stone carvings and wood carvings made the whole house magnificent. You can imagine the wealth and prominence of the owner back then.

After walking around the old house for a while, they walked to the small street where they were selling things.

The most popular tea on the street is tea, and now it is the best tea tea of ​​the year.

Tea before the Ming Dynasty refers to tea picked before the Qingming Festival. Because it is less infested by insects, delicate buds and leaves, green and fragrant, and beautiful in taste, it is a good product among tea. But at the same time, because the temperature before the Qingming Festival is generally low, the number of tea germination is limited, the growth rate is slow, and the yield that can meet the picking standards is very small, so there is also a saying that "tea before the Ming Dynasty is as expensive as gold."

If the tea is good, Cai Hongming wouldn't mind buying some back. After all, tea at this time is the most rare and the best to drink.

On the side of the small street, there is an old teahouse opened in the late Qing Dynasty.

Generally, if you want to buy this expensive Mingqian tea and want to taste it before buying it, you will go to the old teahouse. Because there are all the teas from tea shops on the street.

Before the Ming Dynasty, tea was expensive, and people who sold tea did not dare to make pots for the owners who bought tea, but they could not buy it without tasting it. So they asked the owners who bought tea to go to the old teahouse and had any kind of tea they wanted. The tea shops on the street were all fixed old shops, and everyone knew the quality of the tea produced, so everyone handed over the work of entertaining guests to the old teahouse.

If a customer is satisfied with the tea he tastes, he will go to the tea shop to buy tea. If he is not satisfied, he will have to pay for the tea.

Generally speaking, the boss in the old tea house will make you the tea of ​​the grade of tea.

Cai Hongming had already checked it when he came and knew the rules here. So he walked towards the old teahouse.
