Yi Xin as a concubine

Xin Baoer did not feel the dire straits from the three ladies, but she felt the ten thousand whys from her tenth sister Xin Dieer.

Ever since she drank the jasmine tea dried by Xin Baoer, Xin Dieer became addicted to scented tea. She tried all kinds of flowers in the garden, but most of them were not tasty, so she pestered Xin Baoer every day.

"Eighth sister, what should I do if I can't dry the peonies?"

"Eighth sister, what should I do if the Begonia doesn't taste good?"

"Do roses have petals or buds?"

“There are too few orchid petals.”

Xin Baoer was at a loss as to what to do, and she didn't want the flowers that the gardener had worked so hard to care for to bloom to be destroyed by her. After all, peonies and orchids are still very precious in this era.

"You can try lotus flowers and lotus leaves. The fragrance of lotus flowers is subtle, fresh and elegant. Through steaming, boiling and drying, it can be blended with green tea, and the tea fragrance will be filled with the subtle fragrance of lotus flowers. Lotus leaves are simpler to prepare. Just wash and cut them into shreds, and then dry them. When drinking, you can pair them with hawthorn, tangerine peel, green tea, jasmine, wolfberry and other things. According to books, lotus leaf tea has the effect of losing weight and reducing fat, but it also has disadvantages, such as people with cold spleen and stomach, pregnant women, or women during special periods should not drink it.

As for rose flowers, you can remove the flower bones and only take the petals. After tanning, dry them in the same way as frying tea. You can also fry them together with some black tea. In this way, the tea made will have the fragrance of flowers. You can also just take the flower buds, wash them with clean water, and dry them in the sun or in the oven. "

Xin Baoer said a lot of things in a very eloquent manner, not caring whether Xin Dieer could remember them or not. Even if she remembered them, she would need to repeat the experiments and research herself. After all, these were all things she had seen in books or short videos in her previous life. Although she had a good memory, she was not very interested in things that killed time, so there would inevitably be deviations.

"Eighth sister, you know a lot! I've also seen the monks in the mountain nunnery make tea with fruits. It tastes great. Different fruits have different aromas, like peaches, wild grapes, wild hawthorns, and some unknown wild fruits. Some are sour and some are sweet. I'll make some for you sisters to try someday."

"Okay." Xin Baoer's eyes lit up. In her previous life, many people also drank fruit tea for health preservation, but in this era, there are relatively few varieties of fruits. If she has the chance, she can go out and see what fruits are available on the market.

“Are there other flowers that can be used to make tea?”

Well, I thought that saying a few things would keep her quiet for a while.

"There are also chrysanthemums, osmanthus flowers, plum blossoms, and roses. They are all fine. The preparation methods are similar, but the flowering periods are different. You should wait until the flowers bloom before studying them. The one in front of you has not been made yet. How greedy!"

Xin Baoer stretched out her finger and tapped Yin Dieer's little head, saying with both anger and amusement.

"You two actually had a private meeting without waiting for me and Seventh Sister."

Before I saw anyone, I heard Xin Linger's loud voice coming in from the gate of the courtyard.

"It should be Seventh Sister and Ling'er." Xin Baoer quickly stood up to greet them.

"Seventh sister, ninth sister." Xin Die'er flew out like a little butterfly.

Xin Die'er has a nice voice and is cute. Maybe because she has been in the nunnery for too long, she is sometimes quiet and sometimes lively. At this moment, she was excited about the flower tea, so before Xin Bao'er walked out of the door, she had already walked in with the two of them in her arms.

After everyone sat down again, Xin Die'er started to chatter to her two sisters about the conversation she had just had with Xin Bao'er.

"You have really been in the nunnery for too long, you haven't inherited any of our merchant family's smartness. With what you just said, you could have opened a tea shop, but you blurted it all out."

Xin Ling'er tapped Xin Die'er's little head with her chubby fingers again and again. After a while, the little head was tapped twice. Xin Die'er pouted her little mouth in dissatisfaction, like a little goldfish blowing bubbles, which made her three sisters laugh.

"Speaking of opening a shop, how about us sisters open a tea shop together?"

Xin Miaoer saw that her sisters were all looking at her and she puffed out her chest.

"Look, we are both at the age to get married. Although things have not gone smoothly recently, it will not last long. After getting married, you will definitely be the head of the household. Even if you are not the head of the household, you will have to manage your own dowry shop. Why don't we learn now?"

"I don't want to get married. Looking at the life my sixth sister is living, I'm scared just thinking about it. But I support opening a shop, and I can contribute money and effort." Xin Ling'er was the first to express her opinion.

"I also have money, but definitely not as much as Ninth Sister. However, I can be responsible for researching tea, scented tea, and fruit tea, and making more varieties." Xin Die'er obviously agreed with the proposal to open a store.

"Where's Eighth Sister? Are you interested in joining us?"

"Eighth sister, just agree to it. You don't have to show up, and you don't have to pay. I know you've read a lot of books, so just give us some ideas, give us some suggestions, and think of new products."

Seeing Xin Baoer hesitating, Xin Linger hugged her arm and started to act coquettishly, until Xin Baoer could hardly sit still in the chair, but she showed no sign of letting go.

Xin Baoer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still nodded, indicating her agreement.

Xin Baoer originally planned to make money with scented tea, otherwise she would not have asked her second brother to look for jasmine. It was just that she originally planned to add a new variety to the family's tea shop, and then let her father and eldest brother give her some dividends, so that she could have some private property.

Now that Seventh Sister has mentioned this, Xin Baoer has more room to maneuver, and she doesn't have to show up in public. This way of hiding behind the scenes and participating in management is very suitable for her, a person with social phobia.

"Since everyone agrees, let's make it like this. Ninth sister and I will take care of the external affairs, and be responsible for finding a store, decorating it, and hiring workers. Eighth sister and tenth sister will research new products."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Xin Miaoer immediately made the decision, as if he was going to do it right away.

"What the hell are you guys planning to do? You all look so excited that you seem to be ready to run for miles."

Xin Chengzhi's cynical and lazy voice came from the door.

I don't know when this man stood at the door. His tall body leaned against the door frame, blocking most of the sunlight. He was wearing a beige gown with only a few fluttering bamboo leaves embroidered on the hem and cuffs. He looked graceful and elegant. He bent one hand and lightly knocked on the door, and in the other hand he held a fan and gently waved it. How romantic he was!

"Second brother is so handsome, why hasn't he found a second sister-in-law yet?"

Xin Die'er's words made the girls stunned at first, and then they all laughed. Xin Ling'er laughed the most wantonly.

"You little stinky girls, you dare to tease your second brother. Looks like you want to be punished."

Xin Chengzhi walked into the room and knocked on the heads of the four people one by one as a punishment.

Looking at the four pairs of round eyes glaring at him, he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, sat on the stool, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it happily.

Xin Baoer felt that her second brother really deserved a beating, and secretly thought that this was probably the real reason why he couldn't get a wife!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in my eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" When Xin Chengzhi saw the look in Xiao Bamei's eyes, he knew that the girl had started to let her imagination run wild again and was making up stories about him in her mind.

Xin Baoer was caught and smiled embarrassedly.

"Didn't you say you would tell me how to make jasmine tea once I found a lot of jasmine flowers? Now you can tell me."

"Did you find it?" Xin Baoer's eyes lit up and she asked happily.

"Don't you see who I am and what I can't find?"

"Tsk, I won't tell you even if I find it. We still want to use jasmine tea as our signature dish!" Xin Ling'er loves to go against her second brother. The two of them basically quarrel whenever they meet, but the more they quarrel, the better their relationship becomes.

"A sign? You guys are going to open a store."

Xin Chengzhi said affirmatively, but there was some surprise in his eyes that he couldn't hide.

The three little sisters stared at Xin Ling'er with three pairs of eyes. Xin Ling'er immediately covered her mouth and thought, "It's over. She's getting carried away again."

Then he looked at the three sisters begging for mercy with silly smiles on their faces.

Xin Chengzhi had nothing to understand when he saw this scene. He felt amused inside, but spoke in a nasty way.

"You girls, are you sure you don't want to tell me about the conspiracy? You should know that I, your second brother, have connections and resources, and I might be able to help you a lot! Oh, by the way, it seems that you guys can't even leave the house now, are you sure you don't need my help?"

The teacup in his hand was played casually by his big hands with distinct joints. The tea rippled in the cup, just like the mood of the four people at that moment.

After a long while, the sisters looked at each other, and then, as if they had made up their minds, they said firmly at the same time: "Need it!"
