At present, it is the golden season of summer tea picking, after a short rest after spring tea picking, the major tea gardens in Chongren Village, Laowo Town, Lushui City are once again full of vitality, and tea enterprises and tea farmers have seized the fine weather to harvest and process summer tea.
Walking into the tea garden of Lushui Chongren Haimei Tea Farm (hereinafter referred to as Haimei Tea Field), the eyes are full of emerald green, full of vitality, and the workers are busy shuttling between the tea trees, skillfully picking a touch of tender buds, a busy scene.

"As long as it doesn't rain, we will come to pick tea in the morning, and pick it strictly according to the standard of 'one leaf and one bud' to ensure the quality of the tea, and a worker can pick four to five catties of fresh tea in the morning." He Shuzhang, the person in charge of the Haimei Tea Farm, gently pinched the freshly picked young leaves in his hand and introduced.
Workers process tea
Tea picking on the mountain is busy, and the fragrance of tea making at the bottom of the mountain is overflowing. In the tea-making workshop of Haimei Tea Field, tea kneading machines, dryers and other machines are running at high speed, and the workers are busy in their respective posts in an orderly manner. "The fresh tea leaves picked back can be coarsely processed into different tea leaves after different processing techniques, and at present, our tea field mainly has three kinds of tea: white tea, black tea and green tea." He Shuzhang said.

It is understood that thanks to the implementation of the 2018 Industrial Poverty Alleviation Yunnan Large-leaf Tea Planting Project in Lushui City and the 2019 Poverty Alleviation and Poverty Alleviation Tea Planting Project in Lushui City, Laowo Town began to plant large-scale tea planting in Yunnan, with a new tea planting area of 5,200 mu in two years, involving 1,200 farmers.
After years of management and development, the tea industry has now become a "golden leaf" for the local people in Laowo Town to increase employment and income at the "doorstep", injecting new vitality into rural revitalization.
In 2018, He Shuzhang established Haimei Tea Farm, as the first batch of people to "eat crabs" in Chongren Village, she adheres to the concept of green and healthy, constantly learns advanced planting experience and management methods, and explores a set of effective management methods. "Our tea farm resolutely does not use pesticides for tea, but adopts traditional manual weeding methods, insists on making quality tea and healthy tea, and exchanges sincerity for consumer recognition, and the reputation of the tea field has been very good in recent years." He Shuzhang said proudly.

With the increasing demand, the production scale of Haimei Tea Farm is also expanding year by year. In recent years, the tea farm has continued to absorb local villagers for employment, and also purchased tea grown by the villagers themselves, which has led to the increase of villagers' income while meeting the demand for production. "At present, the annual output of fresh leaves in the tea field is about 7,500 catties, and the annual output of wool tea is about 1,500 catties. When it comes to the tea picking season, at least 15 workers are needed to operate normally, and the workers are basically from the village or the next few villages."

Yin Fengmei, a 55-year-old villager from Chongren Village, has been working in the Haimei Tea Farm for more than a year, mainly responsible for tea picking, tea making and other work, "Working here is close to home, not only can take care of the family, but also have a salary of more than 3,000 per month, and the work of picking and making tea is also relatively easy, and you can become an 'office worker' at the 'doorstep', which is very good." Yin Fengmei said happily.
"Sister He, the fresh tea you sent today is three catties and one tael, this year's tea in your house is very good, charge 12 yuan a catty, and you can pick some more if you have it in a few days......"
Just after 10 o'clock in the morning, He Julan, a villager from Chongren Village, hurried to the Haimei Tea Farm with the tea leaves picked from her own tea garden, hoping to sell them at a good price while they were fresh. "The tea farm helped to purchase our tea, which saved us a lot of worry, not only solved the sales problem, but also the purchase price was reasonable, which increased our income." He Julan said happily.

"One person is not rich, everyone is rich! We will continue to provide jobs for the villagers, continue to purchase fresh leaves, and lead more villagers to increase their incomes and achieve a good situation of mutual benefit and win-win results. He Shuzhang said firmly.
In recent years, Laowo Town has made full use of its unique geographical conditions and resource advantages, and effectively promoted the high-quality development of the industry through measures such as expansion, quality improvement, and enterprise education, so as to achieve a stable and continuous increase in the income of the masses, and let the green industry release "dividends" in the long run.
"We will increase support for the tea industry, actively introduce advanced planting technology and scientific management experience, improve the quality and yield of tea, and meet market demand. At the same time, combined with the advantages of resources, we will actively promote the development of strawberry, apple, cherry and other industries, enrich the local agricultural structure, and let the people have jobs and money at the 'doorstep'! Yang Changqing, a technician from the Agricultural and Rural Comprehensive Service Center of the People's Government of Laowo Town, said.
