Yi Xin as a concubine

Xin Chengzhi listened to his sisters talking about the plan at once, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. The daughters of their Xin family are just different.

It's important to have ideas and brains, but most importantly, to dare to think and act.

Especially Xiao Bamei, her ideas were novel and unique. Just listening to them made him feel excited and he couldn't help but want to do something big.

"Okay, let's do it. Just prepare those new products you mentioned, and leave the outside matters to me."

After Xin Chengzhi finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave. He wished he could find a store right away so that he could turn the ideas that Xiao Bamei had mentioned into reality as soon as possible.

"Second brother, wait a minute." Xin Baoer looked at his hurried appearance and couldn't help but wonder if it was not a bit unreliable to leave the matter to his second brother.

"Have you forgotten what you came here for?"

Xin Chengzhi's foot, which had just stepped out of the threshold, suddenly stopped, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and then sat back as if nothing had happened.

Xin Baoer and Xin Miaoer looked at each other and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Very good, although he is not very reliable, he is thick-skinned enough.

Xin Baoer asked Lancao to bring pen and ink, and in front of everyone, she summarized and wrote down the method of making jasmine tea that she had seen from small videos and books in her previous life.

1. Tea base processing: Select high-quality tea leaves as tea base and carry out pre-processing, such as screening and drying, to ensure the quality of the tea base.

2. Picking fresh flowers: Choose fresh, fragrant jasmine flowers, usually picked at noon on a sunny day when the sun is at its best, to ensure the fragrance and quality of the flowers.

3. Flower processing: The picked jasmine flowers are processed, such as removing impurities, screening, etc., in preparation for scenting.

4. Flower scenting: Mix the processed tea leaves with fresh flowers to allow the fragrance of the flowers to fully penetrate the tea leaves. This process usually requires a certain amount of time and temperature control.

5. Heat dissipation through the flowers: During the scenting process, the flowers need to be properly cooled to prevent damage to the tea leaves and flowers caused by excessive temperature.

"The whole scenting process can be repeated many times, three times, six times, nine times. The more times it is scented, the more fully the tea fragrance and jasmine fragrance are mixed, and the richer the fragrance is.

Generally, flowers picked during the day need to be scented at night to prevent the fragrance from being lost.

In addition, the control of time and temperature requires multiple experiments. I have only read the theory in books and have never practiced it. "Xin Baoer reminded while writing.

6. Flowering: After a certain period of scenting, separate the tea leaves from the fresh flowers, and remove the petals and impurities.

7. Re-firing: Re-firing and drying the tea leaves after flowering to reduce the moisture content and stabilize the quality of the tea.

8. Jacquard: Jacquard process can be carried out as needed, and fresh flowers can be used to scent the tea again to enhance the aroma of the tea.

9. Evenly stack and pack: Evenly stack the scented and processed jasmine tea to ensure uniform quality, and then pack it.

"Brother should know about packaging and storage. Making this tea is a big project. We are definitely not capable of it. We still have to hand it over to professionals."

Xin Baoer put down the pen and rubbed her wrist. After traveling through time for so long, she was still not used to writing with a brush. If it weren't for the muscle memory of the original owner, she probably wouldn't be able to hold the pen.

Xin Chengzhi took the paper seriously, looked at it carefully, and made sure the ink had dried before he folded it carefully and put it in his pocket.

After seeing Xin Chengzhi off, the girls excitedly started discussing again. They did not go home for lunch but ate together in Xin Baoer's courtyard.

After dinner, they discussed for a while. Seeing that Xin Baoer's eyes were dull and she was obviously very sleepy, the sisters returned to their own yard reluctantly.

The whole family lived together and there were no secrets. Within two days, everyone in the family knew about the girls' plans.

The three ladies were quite worried, so they asked their masters. The three masters were unanimous in their opinion. They neither agreed nor opposed, and let them do what they wanted.

Now that the masters have taken an attitude, the ladies don't care anymore, thinking that the family is not short of money, and if the trouble turns out to be a win-win for everyone, and if it fails, it will be considered a lesson learned. When they get married in the future, their families will give them shops and land as dowries, so they have to be able to afford it themselves so that they can live a smooth life.

With the tacit approval of their elders at home, the girls worked very hard, and the roses in the garden suffered, no matter whether they were blooming flowers or unopened buds, none were spared.

Fortunately, the Xin Mansion's garden was big enough and roses were planted along the walls, otherwise there would not be enough for the sisters to use.

After all the roses were used up, they turned their attention to the lotus flowers and lotus leaves. So they begged the three hostesses and got their permission. The third brother Xin Chengyu and the fourth brother Xin Chengyuan escorted them all the way to the farm outside the city.

Just as the four of them were busy directing a group of maids and servants to pick lotus flowers and lotus leaves on the farm, Xin Chengzhi also vacated his shop.

Originally, Xin Chengzhi planned to rent a shop, but after choosing several, none of them were ideal. Either the location was bad, or the shop was too small. The suitable ones were too expensive and exceeded several people's budget.

Seeing that his second son was rarely serious about doing something, Master Xin gave them a pastry shop closest to the main street and did not ask them for rent in the first year. However, after one year, regardless of whether the shop was profitable or not, they had to pay rent according to the market price.

The business of that shop has been lukewarm. It would be nice if it could be revitalized by changing the business. Even if it cannot be revitalized, there won't be much loss. It can also give the children at home some training. Master Xin is quite satisfied with his decision.

At Xin Chengzhi's insistence, Xin Baoer still went to the shop. The two of them looked at the shop inside and out, top and bottom. Xin Baoer did make a lot of decoration suggestions, which made Xin Chengyu couldn't help but imagine what it would look like after the decoration.

In this way, several people worked for more than half a month, and the store decoration finally took shape as a cold drink shop in the future. Only then did Xin Chengzhi feel at ease to go to Wanhua Valley.

Wanhua Valley is not a valley in the natural sense. Instead, it is located in a valley outside Shengjing City, where many flower farmers gather. Every year when the flower season comes, the entire valley is filled with the fragrance of various flowers.

The rouge and powder workshops in Shengjing City, as well as the flower seedlings and flowers needed by various mansions, mostly purchased them from Wanhua Valley.

In order to ensure that the fragrance of jasmine flowers is not consumed during transportation, Xin Chengzhi decisively bought a small farm outside Baihua Valley. Now, the tea makers who rushed over from the tea house are already busy developing jasmine tea inside.

Xin Chengzhi rode for more than two hours and finally arrived at the small village halfway up the mountain at lunch time.

As soon as he entered, he heard cheers coming from the backyard. Without time to tie the horse, he threw the reins to the old man who was guarding the gate and ran to the backyard.

"Second Young Master, you've come at the right time. Come and have a taste." A red-faced man in his thirties excitedly handed the teacup to Xin Chengzhi.

Xin Chengzhi looked down at the light yellow tea in the white porcelain cup, shook it, smelled it, and finally took a sip under the gaze of the five people, and then his eyes lit up.

"Okay, how many times did you brew this?"

"It smells so good after just three infusions. I can't even imagine how good it would smell after six or nine infusions."

Another tea maker replied with some excitement.

"Rewards, all of you will get rewards. Keep scenting. When jasmine tea sells well, you will definitely get some benefits."

Xin Chengzhi took another big sip of tea and felt that his fatigue from the journey was relieved a lot.

"Thank you, young master!" Five of them thanked him in unison.

Xin Chengzhi didn't stay long. He had lunch, took a short rest, and then hurried back with the prepared scented tea.

After going down the mountain and passing by the entrance of Baihua Valley, I saw a few half-grown children selling flowers there. The bright red roses were blooming gorgeously. Thinking that I would give flower tea to my younger sisters in a while, I bought a big bouquet of roses as a gift for them.

When we arrived at the village outside the city, it was already the end of the You hour and wisps of smoke were already rising from the nearby villages.

Seeing their second brother coming over with a big bouquet of roses, Xin Miaoer and Xin Dieer were very happy and rushed to take the flowers.

Xin Ling'er pouted and was about to start the usual bickering, but Xin Bao'er quickly pulled her back.

"Where have you been, second brother? Why are you so exhausted?"

Then he raised his voice and told Lancao to fetch water for the second young master to wash.

When Xin Chengzhi came back after washing up, he was a handsome young man again.

As the sisters looked at them curiously, they opened the oil paper packages on the table layer by layer. When they opened the last layer, they couldn't help but feel refreshed. The fresh smell of green tea accompanied by the subtle fragrance of jasmine flowers immediately penetrated their nostrils.

The eyes of the little girls suddenly sparkled like the brightest stars in the night sky, and Xin Chengzhi's fatigue from a busy day was instantly swept away.
