Chapter 126: Flower Tea
Ming Yueqing was thinking about this matter all the way, and went straight to He Xiao's tea room when she arrived at the tea house.
"Brother He!"
He Xiao, who was communicating with the apprentices, turned around, looked at Ming Yueqing with an excited face, and walked out after saying a word to the apprentices.
"Young lady."
"Brother He, I have something to tell you, I need a little time, are you free?"
"Yes." He Xiao looked back at the people in the room, "Young lady, please wait for a moment." ”
He Xiao returned to the room, instructed everyone to continue, and then followed Ming Yueqing to the study.
"Young lady, please have tea."
Ming Yueqing took the teacup and drank it all, her eyes flashing with excitement: "Brother He, I have a plan now, but I need your help." ”
"Young lady, please speak."
"Do you remember the flowers that Ling Xi prepared when I got married?" Ming Yueqing's eyes burned, "Most of those words were planted in Zhuangzi, I went to see it today, and it was very good." ”
He Xiao didn't understand why the young lady suddenly mentioned this, he nodded: "Remember." ”
Not only does he remember, but I'm afraid everyone in Yuhang will not forget it.
"It's these flowers, only jasmine can be used at the moment, and I want to make jasmine tea."
He Xiao's eyes lit up: "Flower tea? ”
"Yes, Flower Tea." Ming Yueqing nodded, "To put it simply, it is a kind of tea made from flowers." ”
"Flower tea, isn't that floral?" He Xiao immediately got to the point, "Then this kind of words should be very popular with the girl's wife." ”
"That's right." Ming Yueqing looked at He Xiao with a look in her eyes as if she had seen a relative, "In this way, we can not only use traditional tea to capture the male market, but also use flower tea to catch women, both pronged!" ”
He Xiao was also excited: "So, the young lady knows how to make this flower tea?" ”
"Yes, but I still need your help."
"The young lady commands."
"That's right, it's relatively easy to make flower tea, so I wondered if I could recruit some girls to learn."
Ming Yueqing said her plan, "This is just the beginning, we will have other varieties of flower tea in the future, and we will need more manpower at that time, so I hope to recruit some girls to do this." ”
"As for the method, I'll teach them, but this time, I still need your help."
He Xiao thought for a while: "What the young lady said is, I understand. ”
"I will discuss the specific matters with you again, for now I let Jinse Jinsi stay in the Zhuangzi to pick flowers, you send a few suitable people to go with me, and I will transport the jasmine here."
"That's it, there is nothing else to do today, the young lady and I will go to see the situation."
"Okay."
Looking up at the sun, He Xiao said again: "It's not too early, the young lady will have lunch here before going!" ”
"It's fine."
After lunch, He Xiao explained some things, selected a few people from the apprentices, and followed Ming Yueqing to Zhuangzi.
On the other side, Jin Se Jinsi took the women and girls in the Zhuangzi to start picking flowers, because there were many other flowers in the flower field, and Aunt Ji called a lot of people, so when the bright moon came, the jasmine in the flower field was almost finished.
"Young lady!" Jin Se wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked out of the flower field, "Young lady, take a look." ”
Ming Yueqing looked at the jasmine in the bamboo basket and nodded: "That's right, that's it." ”
Jin Sexi smiled: "Young lady, wait a minute, it will be fine soon." ”
After half a cup of tea, all the more ripe jasmine buds have been picked.
"Everybody helped to carry all the buds to the wagon."
He Xiao waved his hand, and it was finished in less than a moment.
"Aunt Ji, I have something to do today, I'll come to see you another day." Ming Yueqing looked at everyone, "Everyone has worked hard." ”
"The young lady is polite." Aunt Ji said with a smile, "Young lady go slowly." ”
Ming Yueqing nodded and got into the carriage.
Back at the villa, Ming Yueqing rushed into the teahouse with He Xiao, as well as a few apprentices who had gone with him before.
Looking at the bamboo baskets stacked together, Ming Yueqing looked at several apprentices and got straight to the point: "Brother He should have already told you that these jasmine flowers are to make flower tea, and this is the first time I have done it, so I need everyone's help." ”
After thinking about it, she continued, "There are not many jasmine flowers picked today, so we can test it to see if it can be done, maybe it will fail, but I still hope that everyone can help, hard work for everyone." ”
"Young lady, please do not hesitate to command."
The apprentices said in unison that for them, learning is the most important thing, no matter how hard it is.
Besides, it doesn't matter if you fail, you can explore it slowly, they all know that this yellow tea was researched by the young lady and Mr. He.
"Okay, let's get started!" Mingyueqing clapped her hands, "First find a clean and ventilated place, pour out these flowers to dry, and spread them as thin as possible." ”
"There's a gazebo in the courtyard ahead, right there!" He Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed, "There is the best ventilation there, and there is no sun yet." ”
"Okay."
"Brother He, please prepare some tea embryos, dry and cool them and put them in the box."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Ming Yueqing is here, and everyone will spread the jasmine flowers in the gazebo, and do this while not forgetting to tell everyone the reason.
"The reason why these flowers are spread out to cool is because the flowers will be squeezed during transportation, which will cause a local temperature increase, which is not conducive to the integrity and freshness of the flowers."
"After the stall cools, we have to carry out maintenance, what we have to do is to control the temperature in the flower pile, make the flowers vigorous, and promote the opening and vigorous fragrance."
A ruddy-faced young man in the apprentice hesitated to speak: "Does the young lady mean to let these flowers bloom later?" How do we do this? ”
"That's what it means." Ming Yueqing looked at the young man who was talking, "Right now, we can only pile up the flowers to promote the temperature, and when the temperature is high, we must spread it thinly, turn it, and ventilate it to prevent the flowers from deteriorating if the temperature is too high." ”
Looking up at the sky and feeling the temperature in the courtyard again, Ming Yueqing grabbed a handful of jasmine.
"It's not hot now, so we can cover it with a cloth later to keep the pile warm and promote the flowers to bloom."
"May I ask the young lady, at what temperature should I turn the ventilation?"
Ming Yueqing thought for a while: "I don't know how to describe this now, I'll tell you later." ”
Everyone nodded, did things seriously, and did not forget to observe the jasmine flowers on the ground.
"Alright, now let's move the jasmine to the teahouse, where the temperature is a little hotter."
"Yes, young lady."
A few people quickly moved all the cool jasmine flowers to He Xiao's flower room.
