Making tea bricks is easier said than done. As the name suggests, it means pressing tea leaves into bricks. It is difficult to make tea bricks, but it also has its difficulties. There are always some things that need to be considered.

Chang Xi is striving for this time difference. If this thing comes back to the world, in fact, many big tea merchants will go back and study it. It will not be difficult to make tea bricks again. But if it is not made properly, not to mention the taste of the tea will be much worse. It is very likely that a batch of tea will

They will all be scrapped, so there is still a trial and error cost involved.

Thanks to the words and deeds of a friend who was in the tea business in her previous life, Chang Xi knew every step of making tea bricks. Of course, in order to hide her eyes from others, she went to the library of Jiefu to face the unkind look of the old man named Uncle Chen.

I specially selected several ancient books that recorded the making of tea bricks from previous dynasties.

Such remote ancient books are difficult to find outside. Only aristocratic families like the Jie family would preserve them. However, since they were not important books, she managed to borrow them smoothly.

She dared to say that the big tea merchants outside might not still have such ancient books in their hands. After all, tea bricks had not been made for a long time, and people's tea drinking habits were still different from before, at least without the addition of miscellaneous things.

The auxiliary ingredients are used to make tea soup. For this alone, the previous method of making tea bricks has to be changed.

"This is the inspiration I got from it." She took out the ancient books and gave them to Jie Yuxin and Shi Bichi to read.

Jie Yuxin opened the page that Chang Xi had marked and looked at it carefully. This was her consistent principle in doing things.

Although Chang Xi read the travelogue she talked about last time carefully, not to mention that she also found some new inspiration for observing astronomical phenomena in it. She is currently planning to do another experiment on Tengu Moon Eclipse according to her heart.

.

Shi Bichi was much more simple and rude. After a rough look, she didn't understand this, and privately she didn't want to know more about it. Anyway, this was not her purpose.

"Are you going to do what I said above?"

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

Shi Bichi was immediately confused. If she didn't restore it by clicking on it, what else would she see?

"Miss Shi San, do you still need to add spices or sesame oil to make tea when you drink it now?" the commentator on the side thought to herself.

"Who can get used to this kind of taste?" Whenever 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 need to keep pace with the times, get rid of all these miscellaneous things, and make tea bricks that are easy to store and transport, and taste better, so that there will be a market for tea bricks."

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

Please step forward to help.

She always remembered that she was here to make friends with Chang Xi, not to make enemies. Of course, if she didn't understand each other, then it would be a different matter.

Chang Xi didn't stop Shi Bichi from helping. Anyway, it was good to have one more person to do the work. Besides, she didn't have to pay wages, so it was perfect.

Xiaotao and Dongli moved very quickly, and in no time they picked out a plate of tea leaves that were roughly the same length and thickness.

Maocha is the kind of tea that has not been carefully processed, and there are even many impurities mixed in it, so you need to select more carefully, and the process cannot be sloppy.

After sifting the tea, you need to poke the tea and break the tea leaves to a certain length. Then you need to pick the tea and pick out all the thick tea stems. Only then does it come to the step of bundling the tea.

This required the use of the small kitchen. Aunt Luo went to negotiate with the cook who had dealt with Chang Xi before. The cook who called Aunt An had personally brought the soup she made to apologize to Chang Xi.

Therefore, he got in touch with Chang Xi, and later he was rewarded by the Qin family for his good cooking, and Chang Xi also had a share of the credit.

For this reason, she thought of Chang Xi very much, so as soon as Grandma Luo said it, she agreed without a second thought, and even specially cleared a piece for Chang Xi to use.

Seeing Chang Xi, the third girl, and the girls from the Shi family working there, she uneasily pulled over Nanny Luo and asked if she needed her help.

She was afraid that some spoiled mistresses might accidentally burn herself.

Aunt Luo took a look at the emotion inside.

Xing knew that Chang Xi's business was in its infancy, and the fewer people knew about it, the better, so he smiled and pushed Aunt An out, "A few masters like to play, let them play, and we won't disturb them."

"Does the master like to play with this?" Some cooks outside asked curiously.

"Hey, how do we understand the things about masters? If we understand one day, we will become masters, right?" Aunt An said quickly.

The cooks thought the same thing. They were servants after all, how could they compare with their masters? I'm afraid the girls were tired of embroidering and would practice cooking instead.

After finding the reason, they were no longer so curious. Anyway, they had to continue with the work at hand. After all, the masters still needed to eat and drink.

Qian failed to take back Bai's little daughter-in-law, so she suddenly started to have heart problems, and her health was as bad as Qin's. She saw other sons and daughters-in-law who were fine, but her younger son Xie Ming had to live up to his expectations.

These are all useless things. He can't even persuade his wife to come back, so what's the use of him?

She moaned on the bed until she heard her confidant's mother-in-law say that her daughter and Chang's wife were messing around in the kitchen and didn't know what to do. She immediately sat up and pulled off the forehead wipe tied to her forehead.

Come down, put on your shoes and get out of bed, all in one go.

"Why can't this girl give people peace of mind?" She couldn't help but said angrily, "I told her not to associate with that Chang family, but she just turned a deaf ear to my words. No, I have to go and do it.

Pull her back."

As he spoke, he hurried to the small kitchen in the fourth room, walking very fast along the way.

Aunt An saw Mr. Qian coming towards him with great enthusiasm from a distance, and immediately didn't know what was going on. But the third girl was still here, and it probably had something to do with her, so she hurried in to report the news.

Jieyu Xin was working hard. Her hands-on ability was always good, especially this man-made spiral hand press. She started using it herself under the guidance of Chang Xi. Watching the tea bricks slowly take shape, she immediately felt a sense of accomplishment.

.

Now when she heard what Aunt An said, she frowned, put down the human-powered screw hand press, and said to Chang Xi, "I'm going to take care of my mother first, and I'll do it again later." Meaning.

Just leave some for her and don't finish everything. After all, the number of samples is limited.

Chang Xi smiled and said he would keep it for her. Then she took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped the sweat from her forehead with peace of mind, and rushed to intercept her mother, Qian, to save her mother from cursing randomly, and there would definitely be another incident.

A storm.

Shi Bichi had not done so much work for a long time. She was panting from exhaustion and her hands felt like they were no longer her own. What would Chang do if she continued to do this in the future?

If she continues to act, she thinks she will die of exhaustion first. After all, as a lady, she has never had to do physical work. Now she has some doubts, is Chang's intention to mess with her?

But when she turned around and saw Mrs. Chang herself working hard, she immediately gave up her dark thoughts.

"Ms. Chang, this process is too cumbersome and heavy. It is not suitable for a few girls' families. For example, if you are pressing tea bricks, men will definitely have an advantage." Xin

Chang Xi glanced at Shi Bichi's messy hair, knowing that she was tired and disgusted, but it was not easy for her to persist until now. Look, no matter how bad a person is, she still has advantages. No one will follow her.

Whatever you do will lead to success.

"Miss Shi San, do you have any good ideas?"

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

Shi Bichi hurriedly said, "Mrs. Chang, as long as this technology can be successful, then we can use this to let major tea merchants bid for it and spend money to buy it. In this way, won't you be able to 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 Jie Mansion, there will be no possibility of intersecting with her again in this life.

Chang Xi touched his chin. Not to mention, Shi Bichi still had some savvy in business. Indeed, as long as the tinkering was successful, he would not have to worry about selling. I believe there will be big tea merchants who know the goods.

"However, isn't this just a one-and-done deal? This is equivalent to killing the goose that lays the egg." She shook her head in denial, "I don't think it's worthwhile.

"

Shi Bichi opened her eyes wide, what else did she want?

Don't have such a big appetite as a person.

"Ms. Chang, the strength of those big tea merchants is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Wouldn't it be better if we just withdraw with a sum of money and avoid having to deal with them?"

"Miss Shi San, let me ask you, how do those big tea merchants compare with the Shi family?"

"Of course it's incomparable." Shi Bichi said proudly.

She, the Shi family, is a century-old family. Although it has declined after the last court incident, there are still three nails left in the shipwreck. Once they can take a breather, they will definitely be able to return to their former glory one day.

As for those big tea merchants, no matter how rich they are, they can't wash away the smell of copper. In terms of their background, they can't even match the Shi family's reputation. Even if they donate their money to become an official, so what?

Their influence in the officialdom cannot be compared with that of the Shi family, whose connections in the officialdom are still intact.

So, Chang Xi spread her hands and said, "Well, in this small business of ours, Miss Shi San, you still have a share of your stock. If they take it away easily, wouldn't it mean that they don't take your Shi family seriously?"

In other words, if this is the case, then what you are saying now is fart.

Shi Bichi was most proud of her family background. When Chang Xi provoked her, she immediately quit, "I'm sorry they don't dare."

"Then it's over. We can cooperate with them to share dividends. Then won't the money flow in?"

There is nothing shameful about taking advantage of family background to get into power. When she first took over the family business in her previous life, some media ridiculed her for being a second-generation ancestor who relies on her birth to get around the capital circle. No one saw the hard work she put in behind the scenes.

Isn't Keren'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 able to inspire people.
