Chapter 44: Patience (Part II)
Zhu Xiaobao thought about it carefully, and then asked the carpenter in the house to make dozens of half-meter-square wooden boxes! Then he asked Wu Yue to take all the maids and female guards in the house to pick jasmine, and the man was not careful enough to work. It turns out that Zhu Xiaobao wants to use these unsellable tea leaves as tea embryos and reprocess them into jasmine tea!
After less than an hour, the jasmine in the nursery was all picked, although a little insufficient, but it will be done!
The jasmine flowers picked back have to be cooled, maintained, sieved, and finally made with magnolia flowers to make the fragrance.
Then the key step is ---- the cellar flower stitching, which is to mix flowers and tea together, so that the flowers are directly absorbed by the tea leaves. The wooden boxes made by the carpenter are to put the tea embryo and flowers into it, which is called the cellar! The amount of tea in each box is about ten catties, and the tea embryo and flowers are laid layer by layer. Under normal circumstances, the fragrance of jasmine can reach six hours!
When the fragrance of the jasmine is over, the flowers that have lost their fragrance are picked out, and this process is called flowers! There are also several steps to flowering, so I won't describe them all here!
The next day, Zhu Xiaobao's new product was freshly baked, and it also had a good name, called Jasmine Tea!
After the nineteenth princess brought someone to taste it, she was shocked by this little fat man again! With intuition, the nineteenth princess had a hunch that this kind of flower tea should be able to open the market, because it is easy to brew, and it has a strong floral fragrance and is very resistant to brewing! The cost is also very low, and it is definitely a product for the masses!
"Hmmm! Very good! I think it's going to be very popular! Xiaobao, how much silver should this jasmine tea sell for? After the nineteenth princess tasted it, she asked with a smile, she was happy not only to solve another problem, but also to reconcile Wu Yue and Xiaobao again!
"Nine coins!" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while and said.
"Huh? Only nine dollars of silver? The nineteenth princess frowned a little dissatisfied! She's in a hurry to make a lot of money!
"My princess sister! The former factor is already very profitable! The key to this kind of tea industry is to run the volume, and the customers targeted are also the poor people! Zhu Xiaobao said helplessly, this princess is also a little anxious now, in fact, the cost of one pound of this jasmine tea is only a dozen copper plates! One tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper plates! This price is already a huge profit!
"You are presumptuous!" Wu Yue whispered on the side, not so much scolding Zhu Xiaobao as reminding Zhu Xiaobao. Dare to talk to the princess about sisters and brothers, Zhu Xiaobao is still the first!
"It doesn't matter! Sounds very kind! The nineteenth princess covered her mouth and laughed, the closer Zhu Xiaobao was to herself, the more relieved her heart became! And the nineteenth princess is also the same as Wu Yue, and now she likes to stay with Zhu Xiaobao, because it is really cheerful to be with this guy, and it seems that she can put all her worries away at once!
"Hey, hey! Or the princess is good to me! Zhu Xiaobao smiled heartlessly, saw Wu Yue puffing up his mouth angrily on the side, leaned over and whispered, "You are not bad!" ”
"Nasty! Who wants you to pat yourself on the back! Wu Yue suddenly snorted a little resentfully.
"Someone! Send this new tea to the Seventh Princess and send two catties! "Of course, the nineteenth princess will not forget the seventh princess, even if there is no news yet, but every day the seventh princess's favorite food is delivered on time, and today is just one more!
"Good! I'll send it over in person! Ji Zhihui immediately prepared the gift box and began to pack!
"Wait!" The nineteenth princess brought a piece of jade silk, thought about it for a while, and wrote on it: "The fragrance of wine, tea, soap, and fragrance are refreshing. ’
But there is no more in the back, after Ji Zhihui saw it, he asked a little puzzled: "This seems to be a Shanglian?" ”
"What about the next link?" The nineteenth princess asked with a faint smile.
"Barbecue and fried meat, Dongpo meat are delicious!" Ji Zhihui came as soon as he opened his mouth, but this next link is the face of a foodie!
"Haha! I'll add a horizontal batch--- eat, drink and have fun! Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"Hmmm! The seventh sister should be able to understand what I mean! The nineteenth princess sighed faintly and said.
"Oh! Then I'll send it first! Ji Zhihui was bored and walked with Chief Wu. Sending things to the Seventh Princess has always been done by Chief Wu in person to show respect! You don't have to send someone to send it over!
……
What people didn't expect was that the newly launched jasmine tea actually became popular all of a sudden, this thing doesn't need to be advertised, brew a cup, the fragrance of jasmine will come out, and it also has the fragrance of green tea, which makes people have a great desire to taste! Besides, the price is not expensive, so it is actually very popular, only one afternoon, half of it has been sold, almost 600 catties!
"Hmmm! Nineteen sisters' new gadgets are really a lot? This can't be done by that Wu Xiaobao again, right? The Seventh Princess was also tasting this jasmine tea at this time, and she thought it was very novel, and the entrance was really fragrant, so she couldn't help but ask Duanmuqi with a smile.
"It should have been made by that Ji Zhichen! Wu Xiaobao is a cook, it is impossible to do everything! However, there are really a few capable people under the nineteenth princess! This kind of tea industry should be marketable, the price is low, it is easy to brew, and it is also very resistant to brewing! Duanmuqi also made a very considerable evaluation of this jasmine tea!
"What does the nineteenth sister mean by this sentence? Seems to be an uplink? The seventh princess picked up a piece of fried stinky tofu and asked while eating. She has now developed a habit of pickled pepper and phoenix feet in the morning, fried stinky tofu in the afternoon, and slate barbecue in the evening! Unconsciously, the Seventh Princess has gained a lot of weight, and this high-oil and high-fat food is still very fattening!
"Hey, hey! Couldn't the princess come up? The answer lies in the lower link! Duanmuqi asked with a smile, he doesn't like stinky tofu very much, he prefers slate barbecue!
"Humph! You think I'm not up to it? This princess is also both civil and military, okay? The seventh princess looked at Duanmu Qi a little annoyed, then lowered her head and thought for a while: "There is!" The upper link is: the aroma of wine, tea, soap, and fragrance are refreshing. Then my next couplet is right: I care about national and family affairs, and all things in the world! ”
"Wonderful! Princess! Duanmuqi stroked his palms and smiled.
"Thank you, sir! I know that my husband is reminding me not to be greedy for pleasure and forget about the great cause! The seventh princess suddenly understood Duanmuqi's deep meaning, so she said with a little gratitude. Recently, I've been a little greedy for appetite, and I'm a little bit happy!
"Haha! After all, the princess is the one who does great things! It's good to understand the meaning of decay! Duanmuqi also nodded, and then pondered for a while and said, "It seems! This nineteenth princess is a little anxious to wait! But I'm really worried that she won't be able to hold Xiyuan City! ”
"Huh! What's the hurry, how can it be so convenient, those ministers of the imperial court are recommending their own candidates! The nineteenth sister is still too impatient! The Seventh Princess snorted a little disdainfully, she knew that as long as she didn't occupy Xiyuan City by herself, those ministers would still support her!
……
Wu Yue has been tossed by Zhu Xiaobao enough these days, and he doesn't know what he is going to do, so he built a big pond, which is full of broken wood, and he has been soaking it all the time! These wood and other things were all cut by Wu Yue, some of them were picked up, and they had to be washed! So can Wu Yue not get tired! It's all manual work!
That's not all, these wooden blocks and bark are still boiling in the cauldron of the original storage room! It's been boiling for days! Now it is fished out and washed, then placed in the stone pier and beaten repeatedly with a wooden hammer! until beaten into a pulp in the form of a paste. Of course, this is Wu Yue and Ying Xiuxiu's work again! Of course, Zhu Xiaobao did this for confidentiality, this kind of thing has a simple craftsmanship and is too easy to learn! It can only be done by trustworthy people!
However, Zhu Xiaobao is also very busy, asking the carpenters in the house to make some very strange things, and even invited the master carpenter to compile several large bamboo strip plates for filtering!
Wu Yue and Ying Xiu finally pounded all the raw materials in the stone pier into a pulp, at this time the two sat around Zhu Xiaobao, Ying Xiuxiu took a small bench and sat under Zhu Xiaobao, with her arms on Zhu Xiaobao's knees, this is her most daring move, and it is also her most heartbeat moment, this is the way she came up with herself! In contrast, Wu Yue can't do this, she is tall and big, so it's nondescript to do this! Besides, she didn't dare to be so close!
"Little treasure! What do you mean by the princess's uplink? Ji Zhihui's next link is right, right? Wu Yue sat aside and asked, she has also read books and knows words, but she is only literate and hyphenated, if you want to pair them, it is unlikely!
"Hey, hey! Xiao Yueyue, listen to the teachers explain to you! Zhu Xiaobao grabbed Wu Yue's hand very scoundrelly, but he refused to let go. Wu Yue struggled symbolically, and had no choice but to go with him! Anyway, this guy won't be willing to be cheap!
"Nasty! Don't call me that, listen to the meat! Wu Yue said a little coquettishly. To be honest, the hand that was grabbed by Zhu Xiaobao trembled a little at this time.
"Uh-huh! Ji Zhihui's next link is not on the table! It's just for fun! I guess Duanmuqi's old man's next link should be: national and family affairs, and the world cares about everything! The princess meant to ask about Xiyuan City! But I think the princess is still a little too anxious! "Zhu Xiaobao's expression is a little more serious!
"Phew! I don't believe it, you can even guess Mr. Duanmu's downlink? Wu Yue said with a little disbelieving.
"Why don't we make another bet? If I guess right, you let me kiss it, okay! Zhu Xiaobao followed up and said.
"Humph! What if you lose? "Wu Yue can still accept it if she wants to kiss it, and no one will see it here! Anyway, is it less to be taken advantage of by the little treasures?
"Haha! If I lose, I won't have to work for you tomorrow! It's all up to me! Zhu Xiaobao said confidently.
At this moment, the nineteenth princess appeared with Chief Wu and Ji Zhihui! Wu Yue and Ying Xiuxiu hurriedly jumped up, the two of them were a little ambiguous around Zhu Xiaobao just now, so they hurriedly jumped away at this moment! It made Zhu Xiaobao very embarrassed, and he was still sitting there alone!
"Little treasure! Great joy, three joys! Ji Zhihui was still far away and hurriedly called away!
"Hey, hey! Princess, is there an echo from the seventh princess! Zhu Xiaobao grasped the most crucial point and asked.
"Hmmm! The seventh sister sent us a return gift today! In addition, the sales of jasmine tea are very good, and it has been sold out, so I asked Ji Zhihui to go to Qingliangshan to stock up immediately! Also, the seventh sister specially allows our jasmine tea to be transported to her fiefdom and operated by her! Half of the profits! The nineteenth princess also looked very excited at this time! At the same time, I showed the reply of the seventh princess to Zhu Xiaobao!
In fact, it is the jade silk of the princess last time, but it is on the lower link: I care about national and family affairs, and all things in the world! There is also a big 'wait' written on the back!
Wu Yue stretched out her head to the side to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! And your downlink is just one word missing? ”
