Chapter 386 The Bai Family Who Don't Know Value

Suddenly, Gao Xiaolan stood up, turned around, and went into the thatched hut behind her.

Su Nuannuan raised an eyebrow.

When Gao Xiaolan came out again, she was holding an antique box in her previously empty hands.

Su Nuannuan's eyes widened suddenly.

It's actually a box made of thousand-year-old golden nanmu wood!

Although the box was somewhat old and lacked any exquisite carvings, Su Nuannuan still noticed with her sharp eyes that it was made of Phoebe zhennan wood.

Golden silk nanmu has natural preservatives, allowing it to remain undecayed for thousands of years, and it also possesses a natural fragrance. Regardless of the dynasty, golden silk nanmu has always been a precious and rare wood.

Moreover, judging from the quality of the Phoebe zhennan wood used to make this box, it is clear that the Phoebe zhennan wood used to make this box is of very high quality.

Gao Xiaolan, holding the box, walked over, somewhat shyly, and said...

“I don’t know much about tea. But I heard Tie Tou’s grandmother say that it was passed down from her ancestors. She told us that no matter how poor we are, we should never sell it.”

Su Nuannuan's eyes were fixed on the box.

Looking at the dust on the box, Su Nuannuan could tell how little the Bai family's descendants cherished it.

They can't be blamed for this.

As the saying goes, wealth doesn't last three generations.

When people are poor, their vision becomes very narrow. Therefore, it's no wonder that Bai Tietou's family didn't recognize the value of the Phoebe zhennan wood box.

Just then, Bai Dashan pointed to the box that Gao Xiaolan had brought out and exclaimed in amazement.

“My family also has a box like this. When the family divided the property, the elders gave one to each of us. I remember there was a book inside. There was a book in my box. No one in my family could read, so we don’t know what it said.”

Su Nuannuan twitched her lips.

From Bai Dashan's words, we can tell that his elders must have known that the contents of the box were unusual.

However, it now seems that later generations have completely disregarded what they left behind.

What caught Su Nuannuan's attention even more was the book Bai Dashan mentioned. A book preserved in Phoebe zhennan wood must be extremely precious. She just didn't know if that book was still there.

Su Nuannuan wasn't the only one who thought this way; Chu Mingzhou thought it too.

At this moment, Gao Xiaolan also spoke up.

"There's also a book in my box. Comrade Su, could you take a look and see if what's written on it is related to tea?"

Su Nuannuan glanced at Gao Xiaolan in surprise.

This woman is quite clever. She grasped the key point from Su Nuannuan's few words.

If the books inside the box are related to tea making, then their family has struck it rich.

Although individual buying and selling is now prohibited, supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are still allowed to purchase goods from various places.

All you need is a certificate issued by the village head.

Su Nuannuan nodded and took the box. Its heavy weight amazed her, as she noticed how high the quality of the box was.

Su Nuannuan was worried that the Bai family would sell the box cheaply in the future, so she said that.

"This box is amazing. We should keep it safe; it might come in very handy in the future."

Gao Xiaolan and Bai Dashan were not stupid; they immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Su Nuannuan's words.

A look of surprise appeared on their faces.

Previously, they had suspected that the box, which their ancestors had specifically entrusted to them, was not ordinary. However, after showing it to several people, they all said it was worthless.

Over time, people stopped paying attention to the box.

Xiong Li and Xi Lun were also there, but Su Nuannuan didn't say much.

She opened the box, and what came into view was a yellowed book. Although the book contained some achievements, it was still well-preserved and could be read.

Su Nuannuan was initially worried that touching the books might damage them. However, she soon discovered that the words on the books were written with a fountain pen.

This means that the book is not the original, but a copy.

Even so, Su Nuannuan still treated it with caution.

She carefully opened the first page, and what came into view were the secret recipes for making various teas.

It contains both text and illustrations, and is very detailed.

Su Nuannuan glanced at it only once before snapping it shut.

Seeing Su Nuannuan's actions, Gao Xiaolan asked with some concern.

"Comrade Su, what's wrong?"

Su Nuannuan returned the book to Gao Xiaolan and looked at her earnestly.

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that this book records various secret recipes for making tea, which should have been passed down from your ancestors."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, everyone gasped.

After their initial shock, Gao Xiaolan and Bai Dashan were pleasantly surprised.

It really is related to tea making!

Previously, when Su Nuannuan mentioned making tea, Gao Xiaolan felt that the steps Su Nuannuan described were similar to the illustrations in the book.

So, they really are the same.

Bai Dashan was also overjoyed. Not only for Bai Tietou's family, but also for himself.

You know, he also has a book at home, and it seems that the content in it is also related to tea.

In short, no matter what, Bai Dashan had a premonition that the contents of the book would form the foundation for the rise of Baitou Village.

Gao Xiaolan was overjoyed, her lips trembling uncontrollably as she spoke.

"It's tea making? It really is tea making!"

Su Nuannuan smiled and nodded, saying.

"It's a secret recipe passed down in your family. You'd better keep it safe. It would be best if you could learn to read and learn all the tea-making methods recorded in the book. By the way, the book in the box is very important. The paper is quite old, so you should make another copy. Remember, it's best not to let outsiders see the secret recipe."

Gao Xiaolan nodded vigorously, her hands gripping the box containing the old books tightly.

The reason Su Nuannuan spoke so earnestly was not only to help the Baiyun family, but also because she did not want this ancestral tea-making technique to be lost.

Moreover, the fact that the Bai family ancestor wrote down the secret recipe and gave instructions to future generations shows that he genuinely wanted to pass on the tea-making tradition. Otherwise, he wouldn't have copied it onto new paper every so often.

The books inside the box are probably fifty or sixty years old.

It's probably because the Bai family members are illiterate, otherwise they wouldn't have wasted such a precious resource.

Everything was understood without words. Su Nuannuan only spoke a few words, offering a few reminders.

Gao Xiaolan and Bai Dashan successfully received the signal, and their eyes softened when they looked at the dusty box.

After discussing the box and the secret recipe, Su Nuannuan turned her attention to the tea seedlings at Gao Xiaolan's house.

"After all I've said, can you sell me the tea seedlings now?"

While older tea trees are precious, tea seedlings are not. As long as there is a tree, seedlings can be cultivated at any time.

Gao Xiaolan felt a little embarrassed, knowing that it would be unfair to stop her any further.

She pointed behind her and said to Su Nuannuan.

"The tea seedlings at home are all behind the house. Let me take you there."

Su Nuannuan and the others followed suit.
