Chapter 67: Flower Tea Comes Out
For a few days, Xia Hongsheng's son who was very shopkeeper was in the workshop and did not come out, every time the shopkeeper had a meal, he asked people to send the food to the outside of the workshop, Xia Hongsheng and the shopkeeper's son finished eating, and then put the things out for the next person to take away, there was a bed in the workshop, and the two of them slept in the workshop at night, and the roasted tea masters already knew that Xia Hongsheng was going to make a new tea inside, so they didn't bother. Xia Hongsheng and the shopkeeper's son have been in the workshop many times, but the white sugar has been done three or four times, and the yellow mud water is directly mixed into the syrup for filtration, and the white sugar is really faster, and the effect is better. With white sugar - although due to technical and equipment conditions, it still cannot be compared with the real white sugar of later generations, but it is also white at least - then rock sugar can also be made. Melt the frosted sugar again, put egg whites into it to further remove impurities, and then put in a few pieces of bamboo stalks, and then cool down and coagulate, and wait for one night, you can make rock sugar. Although it is not as clear as the one in the later life, it still looks translucent!
It is the flower tea, which has been implemented five or six times, and the flower tea made made Xia Hongsheng satisfied. The previous one was either too much flower, too heavy and too much tea, or too much tea, which could not reflect the floral fragrance, and I couldn't find the right proportion, so I couldn't make that taste. Later, I did five or six times to do yàn, and finally tried to figure out the ratio of flowers and tea, one to three is the most suitable, one flower and three teas, in such a ratio stacked into the crockpot, first put the crockpot into the kettle to boil, then take out and let it cool, separate the flowers and tea inside, and dry the petals that have been flavored by the tea. Take jasmine tea to brew, smell the freshness of jasmine, but also the indifference of tea fragrance, intertwined, more feel more pleasant. Tea leads to floral fragrance, and flowers enhance the taste of tea, complementing each other and complementing each other.
"Wang Shun, bring the results, it's time for us to go out." Xia Hongsheng stretched his waist, and after a few days of kung fu retreat and research, he finally made rock sugar and flower tea according to the knowledge of later generations, while reminiscing, he made rock sugar and flower tea, so Xia Hongsheng was full of joy at this time, he had half of the shares of the tea shop, the better the business of the tea shop, the more dividends he would pay, how could he be unhappy. Although the market for flower tea is not as big as the market for tea, it is also a thing that has been tested for thousands of years in later generations.
"Hey! Okay! Wang Shun picked up the two jars of the most successful flower tea, and Xia Hongsheng also took the other two vacated crockpots into his arms. After a few days of help, Wang Shun looked at Xia Hongsheng's eyes brightly, like looking at a fairy. Xia Hongsheng did not shy away from him about these techniques, and explained the process to him carefully, which obviously passed on to him the skills of making white sugar, rock sugar, and zuò flower tea. Wang Shun has been following his father to do business, and he is like a mirror in his heart, how can he not know that this craft is much more important than money, with craftsmanship, money can naturally come, but sometimes money can't buy craftsmanship. He also knew that this was not his own credit, but his father's face, his father had done a lifetime of business for the Xu family, in exchange for the trust of the Xu family, and was sent to run the tea business. Therefore, Wang Shun also pressed his determination, this trust and kindness can not be disappointed, and he must also learn the way of doing business from his father, and follow this Xia Gongzi in the future, it is indispensable to have a big business like this, and he has the talent to do business, so that he can be valued by this Xia Gongzi, so that he can have a good future.
The two came out of the workshop, took the carriage and went straight to Mingxiangju, and when they arrived at Mingxiangju, they saw the shopkeeper sitting there, holding a cup of tea and not drinking, laughing vigorously.
"Shopkeeper, but something good is happening?" Xia Hongsheng looked at the shopkeeper's appearance, and stepped forward and asked with a smile.
The shopkeeper was startled, and when he saw that it was Xia Hongsheng and his son, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, got up and saluted Xia Hongsheng, and said, "Good thing!" What a good thing! In the past few days, a certain family has been running for a few days, and today the dust has finally settled, and the tea of the Oiran should be provided by our Ming Xiangju, and the reward of the Oiran is also provided, and this exclusive naming right has finally been taken down! Moreover, a number of large orders have come to Chang'an City, and now several workshops have been roasting tea around the clock, which is still in short supply, and the owner of the family has written to agree to open up two more workshops! ”
"Very good, the top few grades of tea, now start to sell in limited quantities, priority to the gold card VIPs, members can pay in advance to book, after the tea is delivered according to the schedule." Xia Hongsheng nodded, turned around and hugged the crockpots, gestured to the shopkeeper, and then walked into the back room. The shopkeeper explained to the steward and went in.
When I entered the back room, I saw four clay pots on the case, but I heard Xia Hongsheng say: "In the past few days, Wang Shun and I have also stepped up our efforts, and we have finally made things." Two cans of jasmine tea, one can of white sugar, one can of rock sugar, the method I have taught Wang Shun in the real yàn, he has already mastered the essentials, the shopkeeper can first ask the most trusted roasted tea master to taste this flower tea, make adjustments, and then promote. Because the provision is jasmine, so these two cans are jasmine tea, what other flowers, fruits and the like in the future, you can also make tea with this, if you use roses, it is rose tea, lotus leaves, chrysanthemums, etc., the types are much richer than tea, and not only taste good, but also good for the body, especially suitable for women to drink. As for white sugar and rock sugar...... Rock sugar is sweet in taste, flat in nature, enters the lungs and spleen meridians, has the effect of nourishing the qi in the body, and moistens the lungs in the stomach, and can also nourish yin and nourish the body, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, which is used to add to the herbal tea. The recipe of the herbal tea can be obtained, and when this flavor rock sugar is added, the taste and effect are immediately very different, and the world is different. Sugar...... It is a sugar with better color, white as frost, which is the raw material for making rock sugar, and can also be sold as sugar alone. ”
As he spoke, Xia Hongsheng opened the crockpot, and the shopkeeper stretched out his head to look inside, and saw that there were square pieces in the crockpot, which were crystal white, like ice crystals, and looked very good-looking. Xia Hongsheng took one out of it and handed it to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then put it in his mouth, and his eyes widened suddenly.
Xia Hongsheng smiled, and opened another clay pot, and suddenly, a fragrant and elegant jasmine fragrance diffused in the room, but it was different from the fragrance of jasmine, mixed with a tea-like lightness.
The shopkeeper's face was surprised, and when he looked inside the clay pot, he saw a slightly curled jasmine petal lying inside, Xia Hongsheng grabbed the cup next to him, put in a few jasmine tea, and Wang Shun had already brought the kettle from the outside with a very good eye.
As the water in the kettle slowly enters the cup, the jasmine tea lies quietly at the bottom of the cup, calm and peaceful, with the fragrance of jasmine tea exuded, which is quite quiet and elegant. The tea is yellow and green, and the flowers are fragrant and the mountains are flowing water, which is actually a feeling of freedom and ice muscles, and indifference to fame and fortune.
The shopkeeper picked up the cup, took a sip, showing the taste of tea into the throat, after a slight astringency, it suddenly from the depths of the throat with a thick but not depressed, refreshing and sweet jasmine fragrance, suddenly filled the heart, as if the only light fragrance left between heaven and earth, inexplicably as if there was a morning breeze on the top of the mountain, making people feel relaxed and happy, quiet and far-reaching.
"Childe...... This...... This tea ......" The shopkeeper was very excited with the cup, but he didn't know how to describe it, and finally had to hold back one word: "Good!" All right! ”
"Okay, I haven't shown up for a few days, it's time to meet those classmates, shopkeepers, for specific things, just ask Wang Shun, I have taught him how to make white sugar, rock sugar and zuò flower tea. Come to think of it, he'll be able to explain it to you. Xia Hongsheng looked at the shopkeeper's appearance, and knew that his efforts were not in vain, so he said, after speaking, he suddenly remembered a shop, so he said again: "By the way, this flower tea can also beautify and nourish the skin, and it is very beneficial to the woman's appearance and appearance...... Hehe, it's Wang Shun who is going to be busy. ”
The shopkeeper's face was excited, and as soon as he pulled his son, he bowed down respectfully and deeply to Xia Hongsheng, and said with a trembling voice in his mouth: "Thank you Gongzi for trusting the dog!" Please rest assured! My father and son will definitely do this, and they will never disappoint the trust of their son! ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled and waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the back room, and went out to Mingxiangju.
The poetry club should have ended, and I don't know which academy student took the first place. It would be nice if it was Luanzhou Academy, but unfortunately, it is estimated that Xu Qixian and Bai Jianzhi will both lose in the game where they left, both of them are pampered masters since childhood, where have they suffered any big setbacks, it is not easy to write about that topic.
When I arrived at the inn arranged by the school, sure enough, the students hadn't left yet, and they were all waiting to see the bucket Oiran!
"Huh?! Brother Xia! As soon as Xia Hongsheng appeared at the door of the inn, he was immediately discovered by the students inside and immediately surrounded him.
Xia Hongsheng was in the limelight at the poetry meeting that day because of Wang Zike's actions, and in the past few days, the impassioned "Man Jianghong" has spread all over Luoyang City with the tongue of the people at the poetry meeting that day, which literate person doesn't know this strong and intense, thrilling long and short sentence that makes people's blood flow? In the past few days, many people have come to get acquainted, but Xia Hongsheng didn't know where he went and didn't show up anymore.
So this appearance immediately caused an uproar among the students in the inn.
(The collection has been a little weak in the past two days, and all kinds of collections have been asked to see the official TAT)
