After a while, the car came to the foot of the tea hill. As far as the eye can see, the hills are covered with verdant trees. On the mountainside, the beautiful tea fields are one after another, and the people who pick tea are shuttling in the tea fields, singing tea songs. That simple and natural sound, spread into my ears, let me deeply intoxicated. At the foot of the mountain, is the endless sea, golden yellow, can not help but want to pick one.

Under the leadership of my grandfather, I went up the mountain. Suddenly, a smell of tea came, it did not artificially deliberately out of the pungent taste, but elegant and fresh. Start picking tea! Picking tea is not difficult, can be said to be very simple, but I do not have the heart to pick this dewy tea leaves. Finally, I made my move. I reach out my hand, look at the place, with the hand gently pinch, crisp life, water Lingling buds in my palm, it seems still stained with the smell of earth! Pick a tea, carefully end the xiang, green tea with a little dark green, like a fairy wearing a green evening dress, in the dance floor of the tea field dancing a beautiful waltz; Look again, like a lovely little girl, the tender leaves can really match the skin of the little girl! Put into the mouth to chew chew, a bitter but with a strong fragrance of taste immediately Qinfu! All afternoon, I picked a bag full of tea!

In the evening, help me to fry the tea picked during the day, put it in a box, and a box of Anji white tea is finished. In order to reward me, grandpa also cooked a big table of good food!

On this day, I really did a tea picking girl, "pick, pick, pick, the beautiful tea field is calling me," often hear this song, I will think of the experience of tea picking.
