How did the history of white cockscomb come about

There is also a touching legend about the white cockscomb

It is said that there was a tea farmer in Mount Wuyi in ancient times. One day, his father-in-law celebrated his birthday with a big rooster in his arms. Along the way, the sun was scorching hot, and he couldn't take it anymore. Walking to the vicinity of Huiyuan Rock, he placed the rooster under a tree and found a shady place. He took off his bamboo hat and blew the wind with a crackling sound. Before I could finish a pack of cigarettes, I suddenly heard a rooster let out a miserable scream. He hurriedly ran over to take a look, and a green snake the thickness of a thumb brushed past his feet, almost making him break out in a cold sweat. Looking at the big rooster again, its head drooped, and crimson blood flowed down from its crown, dropping drop by drop onto the roots of a nearby tea tree. The tea farmer was so angry that his eyes were on fire and he gritted his teeth in hatred, but he had no choice but to dig a hole under the tea tree and bury the big rooster. He went to his father-in-law's house dejectedly and empty handed to wish him a happy birthday. For some reason, the tea tree near Huiyuan Rock has grown particularly vigorously since then, soaring upwards with lush branches and leaves, taller than the surrounding tea trees. The leaves on the tree were also changing from dark green to light green day by day, and from light green to light white again. You could smell its rich and fragrant aroma just a few yards away. The tea leaves made from it also have a unique color. While other tea leaves have a brown color, they appear milky white in beige; The tea brewed is crystal clear and bright, with a fragrant aroma that fills the nose even before it reaches the mouth; Taking a sip makes you feel even more refreshing and sweet, even the tea stem has a fragrant and sweet taste when chewed. It is said that drinking it can also cure diseases. This tea tree is the famous Wuyi clump 'White Chicken Crown'
