Chapter 86 086: Do whatever you say (second update)

Making tea bricks is easy to say, but as the name suggests, pressing tea leaves into bricks has its own difficulties, and there are still some ways to think about it.

What Chang Xi is fighting for is this time difference. If this thing reappears, it will not be difficult for many big tea merchants to go back to study and make tea bricks. But if it is not made properly, the taste of the tea will be much worse. will be scrapped, so there is also a trial and error cost.

Thanks to the precepts and deeds of her friend who was in the tea business in her previous life, Chang Xi knew every process of making tea bricks thoroughly. Of course, in order to deceive others, she went to the Library Pavilion of Jiefu to meet the unfriendly eyes of the old man named Chen Bo. I deliberately picked out several ancient books that recorded making tea bricks in previous dynasties.

Such remote ancient books are hard to find outside, and only aristocratic families like the Xie family can keep them, but because they are not important classics, she managed to borrow them.

She dared to say that the big tea merchants outside may not still have such ancient books in their hands. After all, it has been a long history that they no longer make tea bricks, and people's tea drinking habits are still different from before, at least without adding miscellaneous things. The auxiliary materials are used to make tea soup. For this alone, the method of making tea bricks in the past needs to be changed.

"This is the inspiration I got from it." She took out the few ancient books and shared them with Xie Yuxin and Shi Bichi.

Xie Yuxin opened the page that Chang Xi had marked, and read it very carefully. This is her consistent principle in doing things.

Although she also carefully read the travel notes that Chang Xi talked about last time, not to mention, she also found a little new inspiration for observing the celestial phenomena in it. Recently, she is planning to do another experiment about Tiangou eclipsing the moon according to her thoughts .

Shi Bichi is much simpler and rougher. She has roughly flipped through it. She doesn't understand this, and she doesn't want to know more about it in her heart. Anyway, this is not her goal.

"Are you going to do what it says?"

When Chang Xi heard her words, she immediately laughed, "How is that possible?"

Shi Bichi was stunned immediately, if he didn't restore it according to the above, then what else would he show her?
"Miss Shi San, do you still need to add spices or sesame oil to cook your tea now?" Xie Yu from the side asked.

"Who is used to this kind of taste?" Whenever Shi Bichi thought about it, he felt that the taste must be very strange, and she must not be used to it.

Chang Xi concluded, "Then keep pace with the times, remove all these miscellaneous things, and make tea bricks that are easy to store and transport, and have a better taste, so that tea bricks will have a market."

Shi Bichi stopped talking, and simply sat on the sidelines and watched Chang Xi sifting tea. She thought that she could assign all these tasks to the servants, but seeing that Chang Xi was doing it seriously, she didn't say anything, and even condescended. Guidi stepped forward to help.

She always remembered that she was here to make friends with Chang Xi, not to make enemies. Of course, if she doesn't know people, then it's another matter.

Chang Xi didn't stop Shi Bichi from helping, anyway, it would be nice to have one more worker, and besides, she didn't need to pay, which was perfect.

Xiaotao and Dongli moved quickly, and within a short time they picked out a plate of tea leaves that were roughly the same in length, thickness, and thickness.

Maocha is the kind of tea that has not been finely processed, and there are even a lot of impurities in it, so it must be selected more carefully, and the process must not be sloppy.

After sifting the tea, it is to poke the tea, breaking the tea leaves according to a certain length, and then to pick the tea, to pick out all the thick tea stalks and yellow pieces, and then to the step of binding the tea.

This requires the use of a small kitchen. Madam Luo went to negotiate with the cook who had dealt with Chang Xi before. The cook named Aunt An even brought her soup herself to apologize to Chang Xi. So he got in touch with Chang Xi, and later won the Qin family's reward for cooking well, and Chang Xi also had a share of the credit.

For this reason, she thought of Chang Xi very much, so when Mammy Luo said it, she agreed without saying a word, and even specially cleared one piece for Chang Xi to use.

Seeing Chang Xi, the third girl, and the girl from the Shi family busy there, she still felt uneasy and pulled Nanny Luo to ask, do you need her help?

She was afraid that some delicate masters would accidentally burn herself.

Nanny Luo glanced at the situation inside, and knew that Chang Xi's business was in its infancy, and the less people knew about it, the better, so she smiled and pushed Aunt An out, "The masters like to play, let them play, we Don't bother."

"Is there any master who likes to play with this?" Some cooks outside asked curiously.

"Hey, how do we understand the affairs of masters? If we understand someday, we will become masters, right?" Nanny An said quickly.

This is also the reason for all the cooks to think about it. They are servants after all, how can they compare with the masters?I'm afraid the girls are tired of embroidery, so they come to practice cooking instead.

After finding the reason, they were not so curious anymore. Anyway, the work in hand had to continue, after all, the masters still needed to eat and drink.

Mrs. Qian was unable to bring back Mrs. Bai's youngest daughter-in-law, so she suddenly became ill, and her body was as bad as Mrs. Qin's. Seeing that her other sons and daughters-in-law were fine, she saw her youngest son, Xie Ming, who had to live up to her expectations.

It's all such useless things, even my wife can't persuade her to come back, so what's the use of him?

She groaned on the bed until she heard her confidant mother-in-law say that her daughter and Chang's pawn wife were messing around in the kitchen and didn't know what to do. She immediately sat up and pulled the mop tied on her forehead. Get down, put your shoes on and get out of bed, all in one go.

"Why can't this girl make people feel at ease?" She couldn't help but said angrily, "I told her not to associate with Mrs. Chang, but she was fine and took my words as deaf ears, no, I have to go She pulls back."

While talking, he hurried to the small kitchen in the fourth bedroom, walking in a hurry along the way.

Nanny An saw Qian Shi rushing towards him from a distance, and immediately didn't know what happened, but the third girl was still here, so she probably had something to do with her, so she hurried in to report the news.

Xie Yuxin is working hard, her hands-on ability has never been weak, especially this manual screw hand press, she personally started it under Chang Xi's guidance, watching the tea brick slowly take shape, she immediately felt a sense of accomplishment .

Now when she heard what Aunt An said, she frowned, put down the manual screw press in her hand, and said to Chang Xi, "I'll go and take my mother away first, and I'll do it later." It's for her to save some, don't finish everything, after all, the number of samples is limited.

Chang Xi smiled and said that she would keep it for her, and then she took the handkerchief handed over by the maid to wipe off the sweat from her forehead, and rushed to stop her mother, Qian Shi, so that her mother would not swear at others. field disturbance.

Shi Bichi hadn't done so much work for a long time, she was so tired that she was out of breath, and her hands felt like they were not her own. If Chang continued to do this in the future, what would she do?
Continuing to act, she thought that she would die of exhaustion first, after all, as a lady, she never had to do physical work, she was a little suspicious now, did Mrs. Chang deliberately mess with her?

But when she turned her head and saw that Chang herself was working hard, she immediately dispelled the dark thoughts in her heart.

"Miss Chang, this process is too cumbersome and heavy. It is not suitable for girls to do it. For example, in pressing tea bricks, men must have an advantage."

Chang Xi glanced at Shi Bichi's somewhat messy hair, and knew that she was tired and disgusted, but it was not easy for her to persist until now. Look, no matter how bad she is, she still has advantages. Anything can be successful.

"Miss Shi San, what good idea do you have?"

She had no chance of having a real heart-to-heart relationship with Shi Bichi, so she didn't even show her the proposal, so Shi Bichi didn't know that this was a sample.

Shi Bichi hurriedly said, "Ms. Chang, as long as this technology is successful, then we can let the major tea merchants bid and spend money to buy it. In this way, won't you be able to make a lot of money?"

At that time, it will be easy for Chang to redeem himself.

As long as she gets out of Jiefu, then there will be no possibility of her intersecting with her in this life.

Chang Xi rubbed his chin. Not to mention, Shi Bichi still has some brains in doing business. Indeed, as long as he succeeds in making troubles, he will not worry about selling. I believe there will be big tea merchants who know the goods.

"However, in this way, isn't it a one-shot deal? This is equivalent to killing the chicken and taking the egg." She shook her head and denied, "I don't think it's worthwhile."

Shi Bichi opened her eyes wide, what else was she thinking?

Don't have such a big appetite for being a human being.

"Chang Niangzi, the strength of those big tea merchants is not comparable to that of ordinary people. If we just get a sum of money and withdraw, we won't have to deal with them. Wouldn't it be better?"

"Miss Shi San, let me ask you, how are those big tea merchants compared to the Shi family?"

"Naturally incomparable." Shi Bichi said proudly.

Her Shi family is a century-old family. Although it has declined after going back to the court last time, there are still three nails in the dead ship. After a breath of relief, it is destined to return to its former peak in the future.

And those big tea merchants, no matter how rich they are, they can't wash away the stench of copper all over their bodies. In terms of background alone, they can't compare to Shi's family in flattery. Even if they donate the money to an official, so what?
Their influence in the officialdom cannot be compared with that of the Shi family. The Shi family's connections in the officialdom have not been broken.

So, Chang Xi spread her hands and said, "Then we have a small business, Miss Shi San, and you have a share. If they are easily taken away by them, wouldn't they take your Shi family seriously?"

In other words, if so, what you are saying now is farting.

What Shi Bichi was most proud of was her family background. Being so provoked by Chang Xi, she immediately quit, "Forgive them for not daring."

"Then it's over, and we can cooperate with them to pay dividends based on this, so won't the money come in?"

There is nothing shameful about taking advantage of her family background. When she first took over the family business in her previous life, some media ridiculed her as the second generation ancestor. She was only able to play in the capital circle by relying on her background. No one saw the hard work behind her.

Isn't a person's background also a kind of strength?

Reincarnation has always been learned, otherwise why would someone be born in Rome?
Using all resources to climb up is the ultimate goal.

Money has always been motivating.

So Shi Bichi gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Chang, you can do whatever you want."
