086: Do what you say you want to do (second watch)
As the name suggests, you know that you want to press the tea into bricks, and there are difficulties in saying that there are always some ways to ponder.
Chang Xi is fighting for this time difference, if this thing comes out again, in fact, many big tea merchants go back to study and study, and then it is not difficult to get tea bricks, but if it is not made properly, not to mention that the taste of tea will be much worse, it is likely that a batch of tea will be scrapped, so there is a cost of trial and error.
It is easy to teach the friend who did the tea business in her previous life, Chang Xi knows every process of making tea bricks well, of course, in order to hide people's eyes, she still deliberately went to the library of Xie Mansion to face the unkind eyes of the old man named Uncle Chen, and deliberately selected several ancient books that had been recorded in previous dynasties to make tea bricks.
This kind of remote ancient books are difficult to find outside, and only a big family like the Xie family will have preservation, but because it is not an important classic, she can borrow it smoothly.
She dared to say that there may not be such an ancient book left in the hands of the big tea merchants outside, after all, there has been a long history of no longer making tea bricks, and the habits of people drinking tea are still different from before, at least do not add miscellaneous accessories to cook tea soup, just this, the previous method of making tea bricks will have to be changed.
"This is the inspiration I got from within." She took out those ancient books and distributed them to Xie Yuxin and Shi Bichi.
Xie Yuxin flipped through the page that Chang Xi had marked and looked at it very carefully, which was her consistent principle of doing things.
Although Chang Xi also read the travelogue she talked about last time, not to mention, she also found a little new inspiration for observing celestial phenomena in it, and recently she is planning to do another experiment about Tengu eating the moon according to her heart.
Shi Bichi is much simpler and rude, roughly flipping through it, she doesn't know about this, and she doesn't want to know more about it in her selfish heart, anyway, this is not her purpose.
"You're going to do what you say?"
When Chang Xi heard her words, he immediately laughed, "How is it possible?"
Shi Bichi immediately looked confused, not to restore it according to this, so what else to show her?
"Miss Shi San, do you still need to add spices or sesame oil to cook tea now?" The interpretation on the side said.
"Who is used to drinking this taste?" As long as Shi Bichi thought about it, she felt that the taste must be very strange, and she must not be used to it.
Chang Xi concluded, "Then we must keep pace with the times, remove all these miscellaneous things, and make the tea bricks easy to store and transport, and the taste should be better, so that the tea bricks will have a market."
Shi Bichi stopped talking, and simply sat on the side and watched Chang Xi sifting tea there, she felt that she could assign all this work to her subordinates, but seeing that Chang Xi was doing it seriously, she didn't say anything, and stepped forward to help with dignity.
She always remembers that she is here to be good friends with Chang Xi, not to make enemies, of course, if she doesn't know each other, then don't say anything.
Chang Xi didn't stop Shi Bichi from helping, anyway, it's not bad to have one more job, and besides, she doesn't have to pay for it, it's perfect.
Xiao Tao and Dong Li's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long to pick out a plate of tea leaves with about the same length and thickness.
Mao tea is the kind of tea that has not been finely processed, and there are even a lot of impurities mixed in it, so it is necessary to select more carefully, and the process is the same, and it cannot be sloppy.
After sieving the tea, it is to poke the tea, poke the tea leaves to a certain length, and then pick up the tea, and pick out the coarse tea stalks, which is the step of bundling tea.
This needs to use a small kitchen, Mama Luo went to negotiate with the cook who had dealt with Chang Xi before, and the cook who called Aunt An also personally served the soup she made to make amends to Chang Xi before, so she had a relationship with Chang Xi, and later won the reward of the Qin family for doing a good job, which also has a credit for Chang Xi.
For this reason, she misses Chang Xi very well, so as soon as Mama Luo said it, she agreed without saying a word, and deliberately cleared out a piece for Chang Xi to use.
Seeing that Chang Xi was busy with the third girl and the girl from the Shi family, she also pulled Mama Luo uneasily and asked, do you need her help?
She was afraid that a few delicate masters would accidentally burn herself.
Mama Luo looked at the love inside
Knowing that Chang Xi's business was in its infancy, the less people knew, the better, so he smiled and pushed Aunt An out, "A few masters like to play, just let them play, let's not disturb."
"And the master likes to play this?" There were some cooks outside who asked curiously.
"Hey, how do we know about the masters? If we understand one day, we will become masters, won't we?" Aunt An said quickly.
The chefs think about it, they are subordinates after all, how can they compare with the masters? I'm afraid that the girls are tired of embroidering and have changed to practice cooking.
After finding a reason, they were not so curious, anyway, they had to continue to do the work in their hands, after all, the masters still needed to eat and drink.
The Qian family failed to pick up the little daughter-in-law of the Bai family, and suddenly had a heart disease, and the body was as unhappy as the Qin family.
It's all useless things, and even my wife can't persuade him to come back, so what's the use of him?
She sighed and screamed on the bed, until she heard her henchman-in-law say that her daughter and Chang's pawn wife were tinkering in the kitchen, and she didn't know what to do, she immediately sat up, tore off the forehead tied on her forehead, put on her shoes and got out of bed, and did it in one go.
"This girl, why can't you make people worry?" She couldn't help but say angrily, "I asked her not to associate with that person from the Chang family, she was fine, she took my words as a deaf ear, no, I have to go and pull her back."
As he spoke, he hurriedly went to the small kitchen in the fourth room, and it was a busy journey along the way.
Aunt An saw Qian coming over with anger from a distance, and immediately didn't know what was going on, but the third girl was still here, and it was estimated that it had something to do with her, so she hurriedly ran in to ventilate and report the news.
Xie Yuxin is doing a good job, her hands-on ability has always been not weak, especially this human screw hand press, she personally started under the guidance of Chang Xi, watching the tea brick slowly take shape, she was suddenly full of a sense of achievement.
Now as soon as she heard what Aunt An said, she frowned, put down the manpower screw hand press in her hand, and said to Chang Xi, "I'll go and take my mother away first, and I'll do it again when I go back." It means leave some for her, don't finish it all, after all, the number of samples is limited.
Chang Xi smiled and said that she would leave it for her, so she took the handkerchief handed by the maid with peace of mind to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and rushed to intercept her mother Qian, saving her mother from scolding people indiscriminately, and it would definitely be another turmoil at that time.
Shi Bichi hadn't done so much work for a long time, she was so tired that she was panting, and her hands felt that the speed was not her own, if Chang continued to do this in the future, then what should she do?
If she continues to act, she thinks she will be tired to death first, after all, as a lady for everyone, she never needs to do physical work, and she is now a little suspicious, is Chang intending to fix her?
But as soon as she turned her head and saw that Chang herself was also working hard, she suddenly dispelled the dark thoughts in her heart.
"Chang Niangzi, this process is too cumbersome and heavy, not suitable for a few girls, such as this tea brick, men must be more advantageous." new
Chang Xi glanced at Shi Bichi's somewhat messy hair, knowing that she was tired and disgusted, but it was not easy for her to persevere until now, look, no matter how bad a person is, she still has advantages, no one can succeed casually.
"What do you have good ideas?"
She didn't have the possibility of really having a heart-to-heart with Shi Bichi, so she didn't even show her the plan book, so Shi Bichi didn't know that she was making a sample.
Shi Bichi hurriedly said, "Chang Niangzi, as long as this technique can be successful, then we can use this to let the major tea merchants bid for money to buy it, so that you can make a lot of money?"
When the time comes, it will be easy for Chang to redeem himself.
As long as she gets out of the Xie Mansion, then she and her will never have the possibility of intersecting again in this life.
Chang Xi touched his chin, not to mention, Shi Bichi still has some brains in business, indeed, as long as he succeeds in making the drums, he will not worry about selling, I believe that there will be big tea merchants who are knowledgeable.
"But in this case, isn't it a one-shot deal? This is tantamount to killing a chicken for its eggs." She shook her head in denial, "I don't think it's worth it.
」
Shi Bichi's eyes widened, so what else did she want?
Don't have such a big appetite.
"Chang Niangzi, the strength of those big tea merchants is not comparable to ordinary people, let's withdraw with a sum of money, and we don't have to deal with them, wouldn't it be better?"
"Third Miss Shi, let me ask you, how are those big tea merchants compared to the Shi family?"
"Nature is incomparable." Shi Bichi said proudly.
Her Shi family is a century-old family, although it has declined after the last court, but the rotten ship still has three nails, and when he breathes a sigh of relief, he will be able to return to the top of the past one day.
And those big tea merchants, no matter how rich they are, they can't wash away the smell of copper, just the background, the horse can't compare to the Shi family, even if you donate money to an official, what?
Their influence in officialdom cannot be compared with that of the Shi family, and the Shi family's connections in officialdom have not been broken so far.
So, Chang Xi spread his hands and said, "Then our little business, and the third girl Shi, your share, if they are easily taken away, don't you take your Shi family in your eyes?"
In other words, if that's the case, then you're farting what you're saying now.
Shi Bichi's proudest thing is her family background, and when she was so provoked by Chang Xi, she immediately stopped doing it, "I don't dare to forgive them."
"Isn't that the end of it, we can cooperate with them to share dividends, so that the money will not roll in?"
There is nothing to be ashamed of using her family background to take over, when she first took over the family business in her last life, some media ridiculed her as the second ancestor, relying on her background to play in the capital circle, and no one saw the efforts she made behind it.
Isn't the origin of a person also a kind of strength?
Reincarnation has always been learned, otherwise why would anyone be born in Rome?
Using all resources to climb up is the ultimate goal.
Money has always been inspiring.
So, Shi Bichi, who was excited, gritted his teeth and said, "Chang Niangzi, do what you say."
