Transmigration: The Peasant Makeup Artist

When it comes to selling and drinking, Qin sister-in-law can only think of brown sugar water, oh yes, and honey water is also delicious, she doesn't know the others, even honey water, she just knows about it but never drank it.

Sister-in-law Qin was embarrassed, "Sister, this is hard for me, all I know is brown sugar water and honey water, I really don't know the others."

Li Mo shook his head. Honey water and brown sugar water are too common for ordinary people to drink. There is nothing appealing. If you want to drink it, just soak it when you go home, and you don't need to buy it all the time.

Still have to make some special tea.

Li Mo remembered all kinds of beverages in modern times, but there are none here. However, it is still possible to make one or two tea drinks by yourself.

When she was a student, she often made small drinks at home, but many of them needed modern machines and seasonings, and some simply used tea bags bought from the supermarket, which was impossible to make here.

There are also things that can be done here, but she can only remember two very simple ones.

One is honey grapefruit tea, and the other is almond milk tea.

These two methods are very simple, and the materials are also very simple, you can buy them when you go out, and they are easy to make, but you can try them.

Back in the room, Li Mo took out a pen and paper and wrote down the rough production method as he remembered.

Honey grapefruit tea needs to use grapefruit, honey, rock sugar and a little salt. Cut the grapefruit meat into small pieces, then cut the grapefruit skin into small shreds and shreds, marinate in salt water for an hour to remove the bitterness, then put it in the water and boil for ten minutes before picking it up, and then add these The processed grapefruit peel and the grapefruit meat, together with rock sugar, are put in a pot and boiled on low heat for an hour, until the grapefruit peel is golden and translucent.

After cooling, add honey and stir well, put it in an airtight jar, and rinse with warm water when you drink it. The taste is very good.

After writing down the honey grapefruit tea with a brush, Li Mo carefully reviewed the almond milk tea.

Almond milk tea needs almonds, yam, milk and rock sugar.

Soak the almonds in hot water for a while to easily peel off the skin. After removing the yam, cut the yam into pieces and cook, then mash the yam and almonds together. After crushing, add milk and rock sugar and stir together. Okay. You can also add dates and raisins to taste according to your personal taste.

There is no ready-made milk here, but you can buy goat's milk, just use almonds to get the smell. Fortunately, this is a town, and it's easy to buy goat's milk.

After writing down the methods of making these two kinds of tea, Li Mo plans to tell her sister-in-law Qin carefully tomorrow, let her buy some materials first, come back and try to make it.

After the tea was written, Li Mo thought of the day when Song Dashan would go to the city to heal his legs, so he raised his pen again and wrote a big notice, which he planned to post at that time.

On the second day, Li Mo greeted the guests one by one, telling him that he was going to the city to see a doctor, and the next day he asked Qin’s wife to stay to see the shop, and then went to the city with Song Dashan again before dawn. .

This time I went to the city. After Song Dashan finished treating his legs, he did not go to the inn for one night as before. Instead, he went to the captain's mansion and met Sima Haoran. The two brothers got together again and returned the next day. Town.

Back at home, Li Mo and Song Dashan had lunch first, and while not doing business in the afternoon, Song Dashan drove a donkey cart to the village.

It is now the time when the osmanthus is blooming. The fragrance of osmanthus is pleasant. There are many osmanthus trees in the village. Li Mo intends to make an osmanthus-scented balm during the flowering season. Therefore, two days ago, he asked Zhao Changbang to return to the village to send a letter to the people in the village. I helped pick the sweet-scented osmanthus and bought it at a price of 20 cents per basket. I went back to the village to get it back today.

Song Dashan left, Li Mo called sister-in-law Qin, "Sister-in-law, have you bought the materials I asked you to buy?"

Qin's sister-in-law replied: "I bought it, but I didn't make it, because I haven't done it before. I'm afraid that it will waste these things if it is done badly. I want to wait for you to come back and let you watch it."

Li Mo nodded, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the kitchen to study this method now."

Sister-in-law Qin wiped her hands on the apron, "Okay, let's go now, I'll take the things I bought to the kitchen."

When they arrived in the kitchen, Li Mo and Sister-in-law Qin processed the purchased ingredients according to the method, and then put the processed grapefruit peel and grapefruit meat together with an appropriate amount of rock sugar into the pot and boiled while stirring.

While Qin’s sister-in-law was boiling the honey grapefruit, Li Mo poured the goat’s milk into another pot, added almonds and boiled to remove the taint, then put the powdered and pureed yam and almonds into the goat’s milk, add rock sugar and stir until Foaming, this almond milk tea is just fine.

Li Mo put the prepared almond milk tea into a large porcelain basin. At this time, the honey grapefruit cooked by Qin's wife was also ready and put it in the porcelain basin.

Li Mo added honey to the honey grapefruit tea and stirred well, and the two teas were considered ready.

Li Mo took out two spoons from the cupboard and gave one to sister-in-law Qin. "How is it, sister-in-law? Give advice and improve if it is not good."

Sister Qin carefully scooped a spoonful of almond milk tea into her mouth. After swallowing it, she showed a surprised expression and kept nodding to Li Mo, "Sister, it's delicious, it's really delicious."

Li Mo also took a spoonful of it and tasted it. She felt that it was similar to what she had made when she was in school. The taste was not bad, but it was not as exaggerated as Sister Qin said. It is estimated that Sister Qin had not drunk these, so I was surprised.

Spread a spoon and scoop a spoonful of honey pomelo paste into a bowl, add some hot water, stir well, and take a sip.

Overall it is quite successful. The bitterness of grapefruit has been completely removed, but it does not seem to be sweet enough.

Li Mo added some honey to the honey grapefruit paste and stirred it evenly, and then soaked it again. This time the taste improved a lot.

"Sister-in-law Qin, try this honey grapefruit tea as I did."

Sister-in-law Qin also took a bowl after hearing the words, and made a bowl of honey grapefruit tea like Li Mo. After drinking it for the first sip, she was full of praise again.

Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry, she couldn't help but wonder if she would drink anything for Sister Qin.

Li Mo took two bowls and mixed two cups of honey grapefruit tea, and then asked sister-in-law Qin to carry almond milk tea and went to the hall together and put them on the table.

"Little treasure, Huzi, come, come and taste something delicious." Li Mo shouted at the two little guys in the yard.

The kid still couldn't bear the temptation of food. When Li Mo shouted, the two little guys ran into the room, looking at the bowl that didn’t know what it was, and holding it apart. Tasted.

After taking a bite, Xiaobao's eyes lit up with a swipe of the floor. He couldn't help but licked his lips and looked at Li Mo and said, "Mother, this is delicious and sweet."

Huzi also nodded, before he could say anything, he lowered his head and drank vigorously.

Li Mo smiled and rubbed Xiaobao's head, "Drink more if it tastes good, there will be this milk tea after this drink."

Little Bao's little chicken nodded his head, bowed his head and started to drink.

Huzi also grumbled.

Sister-in-law Qin looked at her son drinking fragrantly, her eyes were a little sour. Huzi, the child, was too bitter to follow her. He had never eaten delicious food. He almost grew up eating wild vegetables. He only ate it when he came here. It is something that many children like to eat, and the food is so sweet.

In her heart, she was so grateful to Brother Dashan and Sister Li Mo.

At this time, Song Dashan also came back from the village. He saw the children lying on the table and drank sweetly. He smiled and asked, "What can I do for the children?"

Li Mo walked up to him, "Didn't I say that I want to sell tea, I just made it with Sister Qin, and the drink is good, don't be busy, come with me and drink some."

Song Dashan listened to Li Mo and ignored the sweet-scented osmanthus in the car, and followed Li Mo into the hall.

Li Mo first scooped a bowl of almond milk tea for Song Dashan, Song Dashan took it, and drank it with a slur, and drank the bowl of milk tea in one breath.

Li Mo smiled and slapped him lightly, "You guy, where's the cow drink?"

Song Dashan wiped his mouth and smiled, "I'm thirsty, drink it slowly next time. But lady, it's really delicious, it's much better than honey water, and it's fragrant."

Li Mo didn't expect him to say it was not good, so he made him a bowl of honey grapefruit tea, which was drunk by Song Dashan.

"How about it? Do you think the business of selling these two kinds of tea in our shop will be good?" Li Mo asked.

Song Dashan first expressed his opinion: "I think it's very good. The sky is getting colder. Both of these teas are hot. Drink it warm and taste really good, better than brown sugar water and honey water."

Sister-in-law Qin also agreed, "Although I haven't drunk many good things, I just think it tastes good. You see, the two children also like it. Not to mention the adults, the children definitely like it."

Li Mo made a final decision, "Well, let's add these two kinds of tea in the future. I calculated the cost, and finally I will order three pennies."

Song Dashan has no opinion.

Li Mo said again: "If this tea can be sold, give it to sister-in-law Qin. You can make it at a fixed time in the morning and afternoon. If anyone wants to buy it, he will come to you."

Sister Qin responded.

Li Mo turned his head and said to Song Dashan, "Dashan, since our house will sell tea in the future, there must be something for it. I don’t plan to use porcelain bowls. After all, there are many children and it’s easy to break. Don’t pay for it, it’s better to use something that can’t be broken. I plan to let Uncle Zhang give us a batch of wooden cups to hold tea. I will draw the shape and size of the cups later. Tuo Changbang went back to help us ask Old Uncle Zhang to call."

Song Dashan said, "Okay, I'll go to Changbang tomorrow."

Li Mo shared the remaining honey grapefruit tea and almond milk tea with the two children, and she followed Song Dashan to lift the baskets of sweet-scented osmanthus in the car.

"So many sweet-scented osmanthus?" Li Mo looked at the car full of sweet-scented osmanthus in wonder.

Song Dashan laughed, "Let Changbang go back and say that he will receive twenty-one articles and a basket of osmanthus, and all the villagers will do it, and all the osmanthus in the village will be picked. Many baskets."

"Then let's hurry up, take advantage of it now, and blow out the osmanthus balm tomorrow, do as much as you can do, and do it tomorrow night if you can't."

So Song Dashan moved the sweet-scented osmanthus directly into the kitchen, Qin sister-in-law burned the fire, and Song Dashan and Li Mo made it. The three of them were busy until they slept. Then they made a hundred boxes of balsam. They only waited to cool down overnight. .

The next day, Song Dashan sent fifty boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus ointment to Yueniang, and the remaining fifty boxes were sold in his store.

Those who come today, Song Dashan will remind him that there is a new flavor of balm in the shop, you can try it for free.

Song Dashan opened a box of sweet-scented osmanthus balm and put it on the counter, and let the guests try it on their own. This attracted the attention of many women. They applied some balm to their wrists with their hands, smelling and discussing with each other. Few people liked the taste very much, so they paid for a box.

When the shop closed at night, fifty boxes of balm had been sold out, and it was estimated that Yueniang was almost sold out.

Song Dashan and Li Mo had to rush out one hundred boxes again.

After three full days of selling, the popularity of Osmanthus Osmanthus Ointment dropped, and the daily sales volume became normal.

..........................................

Uncle Zhang is as fast as ever. He has already made fifty wooden cups customized by Li Mo and asked Zhao Changbang to bring them.

Li Mo and sister-in-law Qin washed these cups, put them in boiling water, and boiled them for disinfection. Then they put them in the cabinet in the lounge. On the second day, sister-in-law Qin was carrying freshly made milk tea. I went to the lounge with honey grapefruit tea, and yelled according to Li Mo's explanation, "Look, everyone, this shop has introduced two unique teas, which are very delicious, and they are not even available in Beijing. This shop is today. It’s sold on the first day, and you can taste it for free.

Hearing the free tasting, all the adults and children playing in the lounge squeezed over and wanted to try it.

Sister-in-law Qin sent a cup to everyone present, and pour a small half cup of almond milk tea into everyone's cup.

After the people at the scene finished drinking, the adults didn't say anything. The children licked their lips, as if they were still in the mood, some even clamored to drink.

Sister-in-law Qin said: "Don't worry, try this honey grapefruit tea again, it's also delicious." Then he poured a half cup of honey grapefruit tea into everyone's cup.

"Mother, I want to drink this."

"Mother, I want more, more."

"Mother, I want to drink the back and the back."

The children still had to drink, and the adults had to follow them, and they paid for a drink for the children. For a time, sister-in-law Qin was too busy to collect the money while pouring tea, but nothing went wrong. They were all charged. , Pour a cup of tea.

The children drank with relish, and some adults who were thirsty of eating melon seeds were also a little thirsty. Those who didn't care about a few cents came over and bought a drink.

Qin sister-in-law’s raised lips couldn’t let it go. She felt that this was really a profitable business. Now I can make more money for Brother Dashan and Sister Li Mo, so I worked harder, thinking about tomorrow. Do a little more, and then come a few more times to yell, so there will definitely be more people buying it.

The author has something to say: see you tomorrow
