Chapter 136: The Wisdom of the Ancients Should Not Be Underestimated!
"Please also ask the young lady to give me advice."
Qi Lele thought about it carefully before saying: "That flower tea came from the hands of a woman, and she called it 'craft tea', which is a special binding method to tie dried flowers and specially made tea leaves into tea balls, with tea leaves as petals and dried flowers as cores, and finally achieve the wonder of 'flowers blooming in tea'."
Granny Du praised: "This method is really ingenious, and that woman must also be a person with a blue heart."
Qi Lele smiled: "She is indeed very powerful, she does not hide from her mother-in-law, when I learned about her production method, I also secretly tried it, but it didn't come to fruition."
"The old man is cheeky, and I implore the young lady to show the old man a demonstration or two."
"Then you can take some almost empty tea leaves and dried flowers, such as the tea leaves in this cup of flower tea, but don't use them to be ruined by me."
The smile in Granny Du's eyes couldn't help but deepen a little: "The young lady said that they were laughing, and it was their luck to be able to have the young lady tanning it by herself."
Qi Lele couldn't help touching the tip of his nose, and looked at Xie Zi'an with a pleading look.
Xie Zi'an said, "Feel free to take some."
Granny Du answered and went to fetch the tea in person, and Qi Lele had time to look around.
Built at the foot of the mountain, this thatched house looks unremarkable from the outside, but it is warm and sophisticated on the inside. As far as the eye can see, they are all flowers and plants, miscellaneous but not messy, fragrant but not greasy.
After a while, Granny Du came out: "I don't know what kind of tea and dried flowers the young lady wants to use, I have taken some of everything."
Speaking of which, when she was in college, in order to make friends with her roommates, she tried a lot of new things, but she didn't expect it to come in handy one after another, and I don't know if it was providence in the dark.
"Take the tea leaves first, bud to bud head, tea stalk to tea stem, then tie them up with cotton thread, and then cut off the bottom of it to form a hollow tea ball shape."
"After bundling, turn the tea ball over, put another dried flower in the middle of the tea leaves, sew it with a thin thread to fix it, and the tea leaves wrap the middle flower, and it is a complete tea ball."
After Qi Lele finished doing it, he looked at the tea ball in his hand that was really not good-looking, and he knew that he would definitely see the water disperse without brewing, and was slightly embarrassed: "I'm not skilled, this one is too ugly, I've seen others do it, it's very beautiful, let's draw it for you."
Xie Zi'an raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, hiding the smile at the corner of his lips, someone really didn't know it, what she drew might not be better than the one in her hand.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, someone walked up to him: "Why don't you come and draw a picture?"
Xie Zi'an raised his eyes.
Qi Lele flattered his face, folded his hands, and whispered, "Please! You look better than I do."
Xie Zi'an put down the teacup and said lightly, "Grinding ink."
Qi Lele was very dogged: "Wait a minute, I'll give you ink!"
Su Yi had already turned around and carefully studied the flowers and plants in the room. Granny Du was old, even if she was surprised in her heart, she could not move her face, and she turned around and glanced at the autumn leaves and frost.
Autumn leaves Hanshuang recovered from the shock, and hurriedly lowered his head to get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Qi Lele personally studied the ink, held the pen in both hands and handed it to Xie Zi'an: "Minister, please."
Xie Zi'an is really powerful, but with Qi Lele's description and the unsightly flower ball, he drew the effect that Qi Lele wanted.
"That's it! I've seen one of the best flower bulbs like this, when the boiling water is brewed, the surrounding tea leaves and the dried flowers in the middle will absorb the water and swell, and the whole flower bulb will look like a ball of green leaves surrounding the blooming flowers."
Granny Du said, "The old body understands, let the old body study a thing or two, and then return to the young lady."
"Don't worry, this craft tea is just a small talk, mother-in-law, if you are interested, you can give it a try, don't bother too much." Qi Lele said, "I came today, one for the pancreas, and the other for the Fangzi."
"But the pancreas didn't do it right?"
"No, it's your mother-in-law
That's great!"
Seeing Granny Du's puzzled expression, Qi Lele said again: "This pancreas is not just for domestic use, I also want to make a large number of them and sell them, so in terms of raw material costs, I need to cut a little bit."
Granny Du immediately took the recipe and listened to it with Qi Lele.
Hearing the names of that large list of spices, Qi Lele's heart and liver trembled, at this cost, how much silver do you have to sell to not lose money?
"Granny Du, have you tried soaking flowers in oil."
Granny Du said, "Young lady, please come with me."
Qi Lele followed her into the back room, only to see that one side of the room was full of various jars, and different dried flowers were placed in front of the bottles.
Autumn leaves and frost lifted the cap of one of the jars, and a rich and long rose fragrance spread, and the tip of Qi Lele's nose moved: "Is this rose soaking oil?"
Granny Du bowed: "What does the young lady want?"
Qi Lele really didn't expect Granny Du to make flower soaking oil, so there must be a lot of other skin care recipes, but she was also confused, just look at Su Yaxian obviously gave birth to four children, but the skin on her face can still fight, she should guess that she has skin care secrets!
She couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thanks to her coming today, if she directly gave those skin care prescriptions copied on the Internet to Granny Du, it would be really an axe!
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!
"Young lady?"
Qi Lele came back to his senses and said, "This is it! Mother-in-law, in fact, the spices in the pancreas can be replaced with these soaking oils, and it is only fitting that different soaking oils make different flavors of pancreas, and it is only right to sell them!"
Granny Du smiled, "If this can be done, the cost is indeed much lower."
"Wouldn't it be too hard for you? It's not easy to make this flower soaking oil."
"It's just a matter of picking some flowers, and it's not a hassle." Granny Du said, "Besides, there are still them."
Qi Lele nodded, and didn't mention it more, if pancreas are to be mass-produced in the future, they will definitely have to increase manpower, and I will discuss this matter with Xie Zi'an.
"I just heard that the young lady is here for Fangzi, I don't know if I can talk to the old man."
Qi Lele didn't dare to hold it up at this time, so he asked first: "I don't know what raw materials are used to enhance the lipstick made by my mother-in-law?"
Granny Du opened her mouth and replied, "Most of them use cinnabar, comfrey, red and blue flowers, hollyhock flowers, black bean skin, pomegranates, Su Fangmu, and impatiens."
After that, without waiting for Qi Lele to ask again, he explained in detail the method of lipstick.
Qi Lele pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and finally found the answer he wanted from the complicated steps.
After listening, Qi Lele felt a little relieved, fortunately, skin care is not expected, but lipstick can still fight.
"Mother-in-law, I have a recipe for lipstick here."
