Chapter 7: Big Business (Part II)

Ji Zhihui not only brought tea this time, but also brought a teapot, but it was a relatively ordinary teapot, and he didn't have the money to buy a high-end one!

As for the stove for making tea, Ji Zhihui is gone, Zhu Xiaobao is still the old way, set it up with bricks, and make a fire below!

In this era, it is sencha that prevails, not the brewed tea that we drink! It is to be boiled in a teapot with water. The tools for drinking tea are quite particular, such as teapots, stoves, and even firewood and water! Different firewood burns at different temperatures. And the water is the best spring water, not well water! Of course, this is all about people with value. Ordinary people just make do with ordinary teapots or well water! This thing is also a kind of culture, and it is not surprising that a good set of tea sets is worth thousands of taels of gold!

Of course, Ji Zhihui brought very ordinary things, and the two of them sat there and carefully tasted tea! To be honest, the tea brought by Ji Zhihui is not very good, and the taste is average. And sencha is very troublesome!

"How? Is it delicious? Ji Zhihui asked.

"Not good! What you buy is the most ordinary! In fact, if it is a high-end sencha, it is also delicious, but this tea hides the original fragrance of the tea leaves and is processed into various flavors! Therefore, the major tea estates have their own unique tastes, and if you want to compete with them, I'm afraid it's difficult! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head, not optimistic about this business.

"But it's easy to brew tea! And it's not that much exquisite! Everything has developed to a certain extent, back to basics! At that time, people will start to like the original taste of tea again! Ji Zhihui is very confident, this is the best project he can come up with these days!

"Then try it! Sencha and green tea are processed differently, sencha is steamed green, while green tea is fried green! Speaking of green tea, the processing is simpler! But I am very particular about mastering the heat! "Zhu Xiaobao has regained the wisdom of the original scholar at this time!

"Hey, hey! I knew you could do it! There is no way, the nineteenth princess has such an advantage, before she came to the imperial city, she lived under the tea mountain, where there are tea trees everywhere! And she's still influential there! At least don't worry about the supply! Ji Zhihui sighed and said, this is also the reason why he wants to do this business.

"Okay, I see, let me think about it tonight. In two days, I will tell you how to process green tea. Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said, now Zhu Xiaobao feels that there is nothing wrong with being a scholar, at least there are more means to survive in this world!

"Okay! I'm not in a hurry yet! Ji Zhihui also nodded, the tea leaves are mainly picked and processed immediately, and they must be processed locally at the place where they are picked, this matter can only be done by themselves, and Zhu Xiaobao's current identity may not be able to go out with him!

If there is a good thing about traveling here, it is that Zhu Xiaobao's memory is amazingly good! What I have learned and mastered before is crystal clear! And the memory that used to be very vague has become very clear! That's the only advantage of crossing here!

"Hey, hey! I'll show you one more thing! Speaking of this, Ji Zhihui suddenly smiled very obscenely, looking very inadequate!

"What's that?" Zhu Xiaobao also came to be interested, usually Ji Zhihui did something unsightly when he showed this kind of expression!

"Look, what is this? Aren't you going to study this high-grade square leaf? I've got it for you! Unexpectedly, Ji Zhihui took out a bright yellow square leaf from his sleeve, which was obviously more high-end than the one used by Wu Yue, and the fragrance on it was very elegant, and the size was also larger!

"Huh? I have one here too! Zhu Xiaobao exclaimed, and then took out a square leaf from his arms, which was used by Wu Yue that he picked up, but at this time it was no longer wet, but there was still a faint mark on it!

"Huh? This is...... Has a woman used it? You're not going to be with this thing at night, are you? Ji Zhihui exclaimed in surprise. The voice couldn't help but be a little higher.

"You fart! I'm researching what are the advantages of this high-grade square leaf! I just picked it up! Zhu Xiaobao suddenly said angrily, how to do some research is so incomprehensible! It seems that it takes a bit of courage to be a scientist! Immediately, Zhu Xiaobao also looked at Ji Zhihui suspiciously and asked, "Where did you get this from?" This seems to be for the royal family, are you going to seduce the princess? ”

"Shhhh But don't talk nonsense! is going to kill the head! I bought it from the princess's maid at a great price! Like you, I want to do some research! Ji Zhihui hurriedly covered Zhu Xiaobao's mouth, waved his hand and said. In fact, he wanted Zhu Xiaobao to help him get green tea. Ji Zhihui still has some talent, and he can intuitively feel that this is a good business opportunity! So I also invested enough money to please Zhu Xiaobao.

"Oh! Hehehehehe......"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

Both of them let out a knowing smile, as if they had seen something from the two square leaves......

……

The next morning, Wu Yue was having breakfast with the nineteenth princess, and Wu Yue could be said to be the closest person to the nineteenth princess Xia Zhen'er, like sisters! And of the same age, Xia Zhen'er is only one month older than her. The two also grew up together since childhood. It's just that the two have their own strengths in martial arts, Wu Yue likes to use knives, and Xia Zhen'er likes to use bows and arrows! She prefers long-range accurate shots!

The breakfast at the Nineteenth Princess's Mansion can be regarded as very exquisite, with yellow millet porridge, plus egg cakes, and some vegetables! The processing is also very exquisite! Of course, it can't be compared with those extravagant and arrogant princes and princesses! It is said that the fourteenth princess will have more than forty varieties for breakfast! Served by more than a dozen subordinates! The other powerful princes are also very luxurious!

"Hey! Wu Yue, when will the delicious food you said you prepared for me be delivered? I'm just waiting to taste it! Xia Zhen'er asked with a smile while elegantly scooping millet porridge.

That is, when she is with Wu Yue, Xia Zhen'er can be more relaxed, and the rest of the time she is thinking about the future development direction, don't look at it as the nineteenth princess, but her life is not easy, just because his identity is a little special! Her mother was the princess of the third prince of the previous dynasty. But Xia Ci was defeated and killed in the battle for the heir nineteen years ago, and his wives and concubines were all brought into the harem by the current emperor in the summer, only Xia Zhen'er's mother Princess Wu was an exception, because Princess Wu was suffering from illness at that time, and it was extremely contagious, so she was arranged in Qingliang Mountain outside the imperial city a year before the battle for succession! But Xia Ju went to Qingliang Mountain once after becoming the emperor, and later ordered that Princess Wu should not be harassed! So the outside world has been speculating. At the same time, there has always been an old eunuch taking care of Qingliang Mountain.

At the beginning of this year, this old eunuch died, and before he died, he seemed to have said something to the emperor, and Xia Ju sent someone to take Xia Zhen'er back to the imperial city! She was also named the nineteenth princess and announced to the world! But some legends are not like this, saying that Xia Zhenju wants to take Xia Zhen'er as his own, and there are even legends that Xia Zhen'er is not Xia Ju's bloodline......

But a legend is a legend after all, and now the identity of the nineteenth princess is still not disrespectful, at least during the time of Xia Ju's reign, Xia Zhen'er is still very safe!

Now Xia Zhen'er suddenly asked about Wu Yue, which made Wu Yue a little embarrassed, but I didn't expect that Zhu Xiaobao didn't send the tofu soup at all today, which made Wu Yue a little annoyed! Thinking of the embarrassing incident last night, Wu Yue couldn't help but feel a little hot on her face, and said hesitantly: "It's not done yet!" I'll send it to you when I'm ready!" ”

The nineteenth princess didn't care, she had breakfast, and habitually put a piece of fresh tea in her mouth. This is the unique habit of the nineteenth princess, she doesn't like the boiled tea very much, but she likes the fragrance of fresh tea very much! Therefore, a few tea trees were specially transplanted in the nursery, and there were maids to help pick the freshest young shoots every day!

Of course, their processing method is relatively simple, after cleaning and drying, select the fullest, the best shape, the nineteenth princess put a piece in her mouth, especially when contemplation, it is an indispensable must-have!

But today, the nineteenth princess is a little frowned, the young leaves in her mouth don't seem to be tender at all, and they look relatively rough, they are the elder's tea leaves at all!

The nineteenth princess was very unhappy that several maids around her called in and reprimanded her angrily! It's rare to see the nineteenth princess so angry! The four little maids around Meilan Zhuju were all frightened! Quickly explained very aggrievedly: "Princess, we are really not lazy!" I don't know who picked the buds on those tea trees, so we had to pick them! ”

"Hmmm! Go down first! I'll find out! The nineteenth princess nodded and said softly, she understands these maids, and she won't be so lazy! So she didn't want to punish them at will. But this thing is a bit too strange, who will pick these young leaves, this house has its own special hobby!

……

"Hmmm! Yes, it's much better than the previous two, it seems that the heat is the most important thing, if you use charcoal, the effect will be better! Zhu Xiaobao poured himself a cup of freshly fried green tea, and was still talking to himself while tasting it. He is very good at enjoying it, and he has improved his skills in roasting tea a lot, otherwise Ji Zhichen would have set his eyes on him, this guy's talent is absolutely against the sky!

At this moment, Zhu Xiaobao's broken door was pushed open very hard, and two maids broke in from the outside, their faces were murderous! Zhu Xiaobao who watched was a little flustered, could it be that he didn't go to the canteen to eat, these people couldn't help but come here and couldn't get along with him?

"Humph! Sure enough, it's you! You! You dare to even move the princess's tea tree! Mei Xiang, the leader, said angrily, because of Zhu Xiaobao, they were reprimanded by the princess. Now the culprit has finally been found!

At this time, a person walked in outside the door, it was Mr. Wu. The nineteenth princess will definitely not take care of these things personally, but Chief Wu is a big deal, the princess has such a hobby, and she has been destroyed, of course Chief Wu can't let it go! So he took Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang to track it down personally!

In fact, it doesn't take much effort, I found Zhu Xiaobao along the tea leaves on the ground, after this guy finished picking, he was still picking and picking while walking, and picked out the tea leaves that were too coarse and old, so he threw tea leaves all the way.

Mr. Wu, who originally had a good impression of all the little treasures, was a little annoyed at this time, why did this little fat man always want to offend the princess! The last time I said that I was used by the fourteenth princess, I didn't forget it, but this time it was definitely my own doing, and no one wronged him!

The evidence at the scene is too sufficient, and there is still fresh tea at the door, which is the first process, drying! Entering the room, Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang searched out a small pot of fried tea, although Mr. Wu also felt that this kind of tea was relatively novel, and it also exuded a pure fragrance. But Manager Wu still asked Mei Xiang to tie up Zhu Xiaobao! It's time to make rules for this little fat man!
